What are my options for opening EPS files in Elements 13? What is the best way to convert these to another type of vector file?

I "upgraded" from Photoshop Elements... uh... mad old... to Elements 13 when my work computer got "upgraded" to Win8. Now I can't open EPS files which is how I receive collateral from our ad agency. What other vector files will work, and how can I convert EPS to these? Please be gentle if this is a stupid question - I know enough to be dangerous, but I'm not an expert at design by any means. I'm just frustrated because this isn't quite the "dead" file type that Adobe thinks it is. What was the point of upgrading if I'm pretty much left in the lurch?
Thanks to any and all who can help! Much appreciated . -ASI

What's important to understand is that Elements is a 'pixel' editor, not a 'vector' editor. As such, it has very limited 'vector' capacity (fonts, shapes...) What you are missing from older versions is the ability to convert vector items to standard pixel image file. To be able to open and work on eps files, you'd need Adobe Illustrator, which seems overkill for your purpose.
So, your options are:
- to request your ad agency to supply pdf format images instead of eps ones. My guess is that eps is beeing largely superseded by pdf, but I am not sure...
- Use external tools to convert from eps to jpeg; a Google search would return free softwares like Irfanview or web based conversion.
- You might want to keep (or reinstall) older Elements versions just for that purpose.

What is the best way to convert mini dv tapes to digital

I have a Canon ZR800 that I have created several mini dv tapes with. What is the best way to convert these tapes I made to a digital format? I have a Macbook to use for the digital format.

Hello Jhoslter,
To transfer footage from the ZR800 to your Mac, you will need a firewire (IEEE-1394) cable and a firewire port on your computer. If your computer is not equipped with a firewire port, we would suggest contacting your computer manufacturer for information regarding which firewire card will work best on your system.
As it is only possible to transfer video to a computer via firewire connection with the Canon camcorder, any video capturing program that supports firewire connections should be fine to use to transfer video to your computer. Canon does not manufacture video capturing programs or support a particular brand.
Canon does not require firewire drivers for any of our miniDV camcorders. Our camcorders use the driver for your firewire card to communicate with the computer.
The appearance of the "DV IN" message in the camcorder's LCD screen indicates that the camcorder has detected your firewire port and is waiting for a signal from the video editing software to begin the transfer of footage. The remainder of the transfer process is controlled by that software; we would suggest reviewing the instructions for that program for further information.

What are my options for a data plan + upgrade?

So my old phone (Samsung Intensity) broke today, and I'm looking to upgrade to a smartphone. I would prefer an iPhone, but really it's not that big of a deal if I get a Droid. I'm eligible for an upgrade currently. What are my options for a smartphone and a data plan? I'm looking for what's the cheapest option as far as this goes. People tell me an iPhone is free with an upgrade, and that the cost is $20 a month, but I just want to be sure.

Unless you have an old calling plan, you should be able to add a tiered data plan for your new smartphone (i.e., $30 for 2 GB). If you switched to the Share Everything plan, your monthly cost would be $40 line access + at least $50 for 1 GB data (includes unlimited minutes/texts and mobile hotspot, although the hotspot data usage comes out of your data plan), plus, of course, taxes/fees (and insurance, if applicable).
You can check pricing for phones via your on-line MyVerizon account if you click on the Upgrade button. If you are mainly interested in free phones (keep in mind that there's a $30 upgrade fee), there's the Nokia Lumia 822, Spectrum 2, Droid Razr M, iPhone 4, Galaxy Stellar, Marauder, Rhyme, and the Lucid. Several of those are 3G phones.

Eraser tool in Photoshop CS4 acts as if it is transparent when on brush or pencil mode. Block acts like its not transparent at all but there are no options for opacity, flow or brush size. Whats wrong and how to I make the brush and pencil eraser erase co

Eraser tool in Photoshop CS4 acts as if it is transparent when on brush or pencil mode. Block acts like its not transparent at all but there are no options for opacity, flow or brush size. Whats wrong and how to I make the brush and pencil eraser erase completely without having to go over it multiple times?
It started randomly about two weeks ago and I thought it was a glitch that would just go away. But now I am getting sick of using only the block eraser on one size. Help?

The easiest thing to start with is to reset the Eraser Tool.
Right click on the Eraser icon in the tool options bar and then click on Reset Tool.

Does Adobe Reader for iOS have the ability to open inbedded links to additional PDF docs? If not, then what would be the best way to use these already created PDF's?

Does Adobe Reader for iOS have the ability to open inbedded links created with Acrobat Standard to additional PDF docs? If not, then what would be the best way to use these already created PDF's on an I Pad?

driddy61,
As of June 2014, none of the Adobe Reader mobile products support the hyperlink action for opening a separate PDF document.
Adobe Reader for iOS
Adobe Reader for Android
Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8
In addition, the Reader mobile products do not open multiple windows/documents simultaneously, which would make the navigation between PDF documents nearly impossible. (Once a hyperlink takes you to a different PDF document, you have no way to go back to the original PDF document.)
The only Adobe Reader product that fulfills your department's requirements is Adobe Reader XI (mostly for Windows/Mac desktop/laptop computers). Acrobat Pro and Standard are paid products.
Because you are in search of a less expensive device for your department, you could get a Windows tablet instead of a Windows desktop/laptop computer. Microsoft Surface Pro (that you've mentioned in your previous reply) is just one example. You can also find other less expensive Windows tablets.
Tablets
However, please keep in mind that there are two different types of Windows tablets running two different operating systems.
(a) A Windows tablet with an Intel-based processor running Windows 8.1 Pro
Example: Surface Pro 3
You can install and run traditional desktop apps (e.g. Adobe Reader XI) and new Windows Store apps ("Modern" or "Metro-style" apps).
(b) A Windows tablet with an ARM-based processor running Windows RT 8.1
Example: Surface 2
You can only install and run Windows Store apps (e.g. Adobe Reader Touch) but not traditional desktop apps like Adobe Reader XI.
In general, type (b) tablets are more affordable than type (a) tablets. However, if you want to run Adobe Reader XI, you do need to check the technical specification of each tablet and make sure the following conditions are met.
Processor: Intel
Operating system: Windows 8/8.1 or Windows 8/8.1 Pro, not RT
Hope this helps you choose the right device for your department. Please let us know if you have any questions about system requirements or supported features in the Adobe Reader products.

What are possible causes for frequent loss of wireless mouse connectivity other than the batteries ?

What are possible causes for frequent loss of wireless mouse connectivity other than the batteries ?

Wi-Fi or another interference source. Try turning off the Wi-Fi and see if the problems continue. If that solves the problem, see if you can set your Wi-Fi to run in the 5 GHz range.

What is the best way of compressing a large 3 hour final cut file

What is the best way of compressing a large 3 hour final cut file. I shot the play and it is in final cut and I rndered it so now I have a 22gb file that I need to put on a dvd . Any suggestions
Thanks

Presuming your menus aren't complicated(include audio or video) the total size for the MPG-2 and AC3 files should probably be under 8GB for a dual layer disk. The inspector will tell you the estimated size. 2-pass varible bit rate would be recommended.
Trying to fit 3 hours on a DVD-5 will only bring very noticable quality hits. Compressor will let you change the average bit rate so that you can fit 174 minutes but trade-off isn't worth it in my opinion.
Be aware that dual-layer -R and +R media may not play well for everyone everywhere.
I presume you are not making 1000 or more copies? If you were replication could solve this.
One other alternative would be to break-up the show into two parts and spread it across two DVD-5s.

What is the best way of converting a Top Level VI into a 'sub vi' - or function ( without duplicating programming)

Hi,
General question here about design architecture, which i keep running into, but haven't found a really good solution. If i write a 'Top Level VI' to do something, what is the best way of converting it into a subVI - which is call-able from other VIs, while still allowing the top level VI to have synchronised feedback/indicator updates.
I guess the point is that when something is a top level VI you write gui logic about what happens when someone clicks buttons or whatever - which you don't want in the 'sub vi' version.
I did at one point try having a hidden boolean button that was an input to the subVI which would let the VI know if it was supposed to be doing the front panel stuff - or simply running as a subVI. This isn't really ideal though - since it would be better to be able to hive off the grizzly useful stuff from the fluffy - front panel updating stuff - having them together makes the VIs rather untidy. More annoyingly though, if you have the front panel version of it running - say waiting for you to hit 'go', it breaks all the other VIs that use it as a sub vi - since they can't compile when a sub vi is already running.
Another possibility that i tried was to basically duplicate the vi so that there was a backend part, and a front end part - and when i click 'go' the backend part is called as a sub vi. The problem with this is that it really limits the interface that the user gets - since none of the controls on the front panel update with the results untill the sub vi is over. I guess again i could solve this by passing references to some of the controls to update them in the subvi - but this doesn't really seem like the ideal situation if the subvi is called by something else without the same types of controls etc.
One final idea i had was to essentially paste all the controls in the VI into a global variable file, and make the sub vi update them, and the front panel VI read from them. This seems to 'work' - although clearly it is a work around rather than a proper solution - since i spend loads of time worrying about how i update cluster variables in the global - reading and writing.
Does anyone have any guidance on what they do to solve this problem?
JP

You could run a subvis in a Subpanel on your top level. Lets you see the current data while the subvi is running.

What is the best way of putting music onto another iphone?

What is the best way of putting music onto another iphone for a different itunes account user and different phone carrier? multiple user accounts on my mac? or home sharing to put the music on? then they have their own itunes account for apps etc?

Hi DVX100Shooter,
Congratulations on getting your son a new iPad, I am sure he will enjoy it.
Family Sharing is one way of managing both purchases and content between members of a related group of people. Each member must have their own Apple ID. You can choose what music you wish to share with the family from your own account. See this article -
OS X Yosemite: Share purchases with your family
In particular the section titled Hide a purchase from other family members
The music library on your son's iPad is separate from yours, but under Family Sharing you agree to pay for all purchases made through the iTunes store. If you wish to control what is purchased you can set up the Ask to Buy option for any family member under adult age in your location. See this article for details -
Request and make purchases with Ask to Buy - Apple Support
Gift cards may not be used for billing of purchases under family sharing, with the exception that a family member may use gift cards to purchase their own content. See this article for information about Family Sharing billing policies -
Family purchases and payments - Apple Support
The shared family photo album is available to all family members.
Family Sharing - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

What is the best way of converting everything in a result set into a string

hello folks
What do you think is the best way of converting everything in a resultset into a string???
At the moment I'm using
rs.getString(i);
everywhere (no matter if the underlying datatype is a date or whatever..) it converts automatically evertything expect NULL into a valid string.
Are there better (simple to use..) ways?

I don't see a big switch construct. How about trying the following:
Call this method from your original method by passing the resultset obtained.
public String[] convert(ResultSet rs) {
     int col = ((ResultSetMetaData) rs.getMetaData()).getColumnCount();
     String[] record = new String[col];
     int i=0;
     while(rs.next()) {
          if(rs.wasNull()) record[i] = new String();
          else record[i] = rs.getString(i);
          i++;
     return record;

What's the best way to convert from Gmail to iCloud?

I currently use Google's free exchange server and sync my contacts and calendar to Google even though I pretty much do all my emailing from either mac, iphone, or ipad. Since it sounds like it's hard to sync to both google and icloud at the same time, would like to make the switch. Is there a FAQ out there? Can I keep my google email and sync just the contacts w/iCloud or is it an all-or-nothing proposition? If so, is that what others do? Any advice / pointers appreciated. Thanks.

What are my options for mirroring my ipad3 through a desktop pc (without wireless) to a data projector?

The desktop PC (Windows 7) does not have wireless. I have a VGA cable that I can plug directly to the data projector cable, however, I need the mirroring to go through the PC (because I am recording using desktop recording software).
I'm using Air Sketch for drawings in lectures and other various apps. What are my options to make this happen?
Cheers.

Of the two, go for AirServer. Some 1-2 weeks ago, I've very thoroughly benchmarked the two apps (also posted the results here) and found out that AirServer is clearly better in every respect.
