What is the best notebook stand to get?

I have been using this flimsy plastic Porta Book notebook stand for about a year - and today it finally broke.
http://www.portabooklaptop.com/
I'm looking for another computer stand to replace it - hopefully another one similar to what i had (but hopefully better made). I always had papers and stuff under it.
So then i found the iLap, a little pricy - but it looks decent.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/TK790ZM/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
Does anyone have any experience with the iLap? Is it safe to stuff in a backpack without getting bent and messed up? Or is there any other suggestions to a decent stand that won't break on me? Thanks

I like this one. Works well. Fan can seem a bit noisy at first, but I got used to it.

Just Purchased a MacBook Pro. What it the best Adobe product to get to be able to view PDFs?

Yes, Mountain Lion has a convoluted method to do a "Save as", but try this. Open the applicable PDF, from the "File" menu select "Duplicate". This will create a copy of the PDF file and highlight the name at the top of the page. Here you can type in a new name, and a gain from the "File" menu select "Move To" or "Save" to save the resultant, newly named PDF.

What's the 'best practice' way to get email and fax number from vendor?

Hello *,
could anybody let me know what the 'best-practice' is to get the fax number and smtp address from the vendor master? Is there a preferred function module I should use?
Thanks a lot,

Hi ,
try that:

What is the best upgrade can I get??

When I bought my iBook I initially installed OS X 10.3.4. I was then given an upgrade CD a year or so later as part of a deal to buy my partner an iBook. I have since lost the upgrade CD but still have the original startup disk, which I have recently had to use to do an erase and restore after a problem.
As my computer still works fine, I want to upgrade the OS.
I am aware that I cannot get Snow Leopard because it uses Intel and obviously my iBook isn't as fast as modern Macs, but what is the most up-to-date OS I can get?
Also, does anyone know where I can get this upgrade?

Will:
Unfortunately your profile does not give us specific information about your computer which would help us better advise you. If it shipped OS X 10.3.4 installed it is likely the Early 2004 model with a 1.0 GHz or 1.2 GHz processor. If your computer meets the other Leopard installation system requirements you can install Leopard Mac OS X 10.5.8.
Note that Leopard requires 9 GB of disk capacity for installation. In addition you should have a minimum of 15% of your total disk capacity as contiguous free space to avoid directory corruption. Besides, the HDD in your computer, if it is the original with which it shipped, is getting old and liable to failure without notice as the average life of an internal HDD is approximately 3 to 5 years. A newer, larger capacity HDD is advisable.
I would also suggest maxxing out your RAM to 1.25 GB by adding a 1 GB module in the user serviceable slot.
Please do post back with further questions or comments.

I have a newer Sony FS100, What is the best way I can get my footage into a workable format?

It does not appear as an available camera during import mode, and when I try to import my video files any other way they are dimmed out and i can't even click on them. I should hope there will be support in the near future for this camera but until then, is there another application that anyone can suggest that will let me at least work with the video I have?

Nick -
This was my first "big" problem for the last 3 days with iMac and FCProX and my new Sony FS100. To make a long story short: Buy the latest versions of ClpWare amd install it (se end of this note). I got it yesterday after a lot of not-useful inreaction - an then some *very useful interaction* - on this forum.... (and solution came after I began writing to the makers, Divergent.com) - they knew IMMEDIATELY what was to be the solution for me - and told me/lined me to a (new?) version available that, when I got it, fixed all my SONY FS100U import / AVCHD/MTS problems. I was really overjoyed.
To get there took almost all day. But I'm a giant step closer, now. Honestly. That is STEP ONE: get the proper version to import your files...it gets MUCH easier to work with the product once you have the native import issue resolved. Lots...
So, I imported everything from the hi-speed SanDisk 32Gb card, finally, and in beautiful quality, just using the defaut "REWRAP" settings. (I have yet to try to import via the Pro Res or ProRes Proxy settings - but mabe today I will try...time and ENERGY permitting). I feel I need a day off from all of this, completely, after 3 days of angst and disappointment...but ultimately all which lead to a GREAT outcome. So for me it's [next] onto STEP 2: experimenting more with the product features, mastering more of them; outputting the size clips w/effects. etc and quality I want.
This IS a different animal. But I still suppport it and its advent.
One thing at a time...it is a huge learning curve since I am actually working with 3 new technologies all at once (actually more - that have nothing to do with FCProX video, directly...just indirectly....which I won't get into) - but again, below is the link to a FAST middleware transcoder (ClipWrap) that will get your AVCHD files into your Mac. Hopefully it's a fast Mac.
I benchmarkd yesterday on both my Intel core5 iMac (very fast) vs. a slower MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo (?) - both have 8 Gb DRMM; anyway - while the import worked just as well on either machine - seemilngly just about as quickly on the MBPro, too...the playback from that laptop wasn't as [quite] perfect after rendering a clip, out with defaut settings (to keep things simple, for now)....but that ALSO may be because I decided to play devil's advocte while I was at it and imported/exported both the same AVCHD files to an Firewire 800 external HD on the MBPro, and secondly, re-imported. re-rendered and re-expoerted same clip to the MBPro *internal drive*...just to see what might happen in quality or playback speeds of a re-render. While both worked, the playback (via the "422 and H.264 codec output" experiments I did with the same, short 1.06 min. clip - but with NO EFFECTS/transitions with that one, (unlike the iMac verison wich I loaded down, every few seconds, with numerous transitions) - the 1.06 min. test clips WERE, not surprisingly, different in playback. The AVCHD imported to and exported from the MBPro internal HD was a bit more "acceptable" in quality...but the import/export from my much faster iMac (internal HD) tops everything. Hands down. If I do get a Thunderbolt machine...which I MIGHT, God willing and back account still permitting...I hope that new TB 15" fully-qoutfittd MacBook Pro I now have my eye on will result in still-better throughput - and NOT introduce a whole new layer of problems. God - I hope not...then there is LION coming...sheesh! What [new] problems might THAT indroduce???
One needs to experiment a lot here, but once you are able to get the files in from the cam (finally, and easily) - things start to get way better. After that...it's the learning curve of what input / output settings/decsions suit your needs. That is the NEXT BIG curve ahead...for me at least.
I really do like FDProX a lot..a REAL lot...but obviously, like allof us, I am still learing it.
There is a lot to learn, obviously..just read along in this forum! FCProX has its own big "internal" curve to master, when it comes to details.
I found and have been able to use the Precision Editor.. got a first-ever finally and easily) import of several AVCHD native clips "edited"...but got jumbled up - somewhere - (?) in the Precision Editor - and over-duped/dubbed some of the part of the clips I cut up to see what would happen. So the end results with that clp were messed up to say the least...but it did output beautifully...I am still confused about the auto/background renderering and o-going "transcoding and analysis" issue....I sotp it and render out to QT format anyway..it seems to work...tho I id end up with the last moments of the PRditor version misssing the last few seconds...which I did OT deliberatelu splice out and delete!!
Just plain old trial and error...now. Obviously I did something wrong (easy to do in a program as new as FCProX)....but again : I have YET to print out the manual or even read a page of it. So for that - considering how far I've gotten (a "surface scratch" only, still, to be honest) - it's a testament to what the program DOES do by iteself for you that helps you SOME with that learning curve...it's refining the editing/final cut output process for me, now - getting past the kinks or not-obvious pitfalls...I get there...we all will and we'll help one another along....and getting an output that looks and works the way I/we planned for in the final analysis.
We're all stil learning here. Esp. me. I am out of energy. I've been asleep for the last 6 hours...and am headed back to bed. In 10 minutes!
Here is the link to purchase the apparently tweaked and PROPER ClipWare version ($50 - worth it!) - and comment from Divergent; as noted: so, in review - I purchased it yesterday, that solved my AVCHD 1080p60 FS100 SONY cam/raw clip import issues and SAVED THE DAY - for now:
(https://store.divergentmedia.com) - "you'll receive a serial number which will unlock it after you buy it. It'll automatically update to the final release of 2.4.2 when we release that (after Lion ships)", from what I was told by Divergent.
Best of luck,
Mike

What is the best gaming controller to get?

I've been a console gamer for a long time, so quite frankly a keyboard and mouse for gaming is very odd to me... I hate it actually. I want to get into gaming on the Mac, so which controller would be most compatible and work best with games from Steam and the Mac App Store? I attempted to play Portal from Steam with a keyboard and mouse and almost had an aneurysm...

I like this one. Works well. Fan can seem a bit noisy at first, but I got used to it.

I have a Mac late 06 with lion and want to know what is the best protection/security to get, Mc Fee, or Norton,or...

None of the above.
Norton in particular is anathema.
You have Apple's Xprotect system built-in. malware definitions are updated at each Security Update.
If you feel the need for belt & braces, ClamXAV is the (free) tool of choice.
Your best security is still the stuff between your ears. Don't click on pop-up links telling you need a new codec or (especially) Flash Player. Use your common sense and you'll stay ahead of the industry.

What is the best iPad to get for elders/old people?

Hello.
What is the best iPad model to get for old people/elders who are over 60 years old? I assume iPads' iOS can do DPI to adjust sizes for bigger
visuals. Also, it needs to work well with both English and Chinese
Thank you in advance.

All iPads can read and write Chinese and can also have Chinese user interface. They can even accept Chinese handwriting input. Plus Chinese SIRI, Dictation, and Dictionaries. See

What's the best way to handle new versions of software?

So we have an Application setup for Adobe Reader (just using Reader as a general example) which is part of our Task Sequence. When Adobe releases a new version of Reader, what's the best way to handle getting the new version into our SCCM setup.
I know I can create a new application and do it all over and select the new file, but can I simply replace the files that the application is pointing to and then somehow tell it to update the DPs with the new files? I'd rather not have to create new
applications every time if I don't have to.
Thanks.

I think continue the way you are doing right now by creating a new application each time there is a version change. Its a clean way to do and this helps with Application life cycle mgmt aswell where you keep track of versions across the environments and
eventually retire an application. Specially where no changes are made without a change control. This is completely process specific and may not be applicable.
i do agree with above posted comments about using supercedence option.
However most of the apps comes with upgrade capabilities from previous versions. So you can upgrade existing version with new one if you do not wish to use supercedence.
Thanks

What is the best PC laptop to use with Premiere Pro 2014?

I'm excited that I get to buy a NEW LAPTOP!!!
I'm editing a documentary with tons of footage. I'll use external SSD drive for files.
What is the best PC laptop to get for editing movies on Premiere Pro 2014?
I can spend up to $1500
Thanks SO MUCH for your help!!!!

premiere will run fine with the 7200rpm hdd. while editing, if your hdd/ssd isn't fast enough it will stutter and skip as it cant feed the data fast enough to premiere. thats with high bitrate footage, if you are using low bitrate footage the 7200rpm might work ok to hold your footage too. odds are that external samsung ssd will be fast enough to hold the media, project cache and any preview files. you shouldn't need another external hdd for export/render.
the ssd for internal will let windows boot faster and let programs open and close faster. once windows is loaded and programs are opened, they load into ram. there is little to be gained after that for ssd/hdd speeds while using most programs.

What is the best Apple notebook for video editing and pro music creation?

What is the best Apple notebook for video editing and pro music creation?
I know I could opt for the most expensive and probably get what I want that way, but I´m not made of money, so what are your suggestions for minimum criteria and which would you recommend?

MacBooks Pro are great Macs with a good hardware, so all of them will work for the use you want, but I think that you want the biggest display possible because of your uses. In this case, it has to be a 15-inch non-Retina MacBook Pro, with the settings you want. Note that, after buying the Mac, you can upgrade the HDD and memory without voiding the warranty, so you are free to install as much memory and the HDD size you want after buying it. It's my opinion, but you are free to do whatever you think it's better

You stumbled on a Mac Tower forum, not notebooks.
If you are running 10.6.8 then you must have bought it 3-4 yrs ago?
Might want to check the specs and then look at various programs and their requirements as to whether Final Cut Express and ah, you want to import media to an app, not "upload."

HT1349 I lost/had my iPhone stolen. Tried using Find My iPhone and it's offline. It was set up. What do I do now? Do I report it stolen? What is the best way in getting back my iPhone if any? Thank you in advance.

Tried using Find My iPhone and it's offline. It (Find my iPhone) was set up. What do I do now? Do I report it stolen? What is the best way in getting back my iPhone if any? Thank you in advance.

Find My iPhone is good for misplaced iPhone but not good for thief and it was never meant to be.
You chance of getting it back is very small.
There are a few things you can try.
Try remote lock/wipe your iPhone through Find My iPhone.

You can report to the police, cell carrier (expensive cell charges for international calls, roaming etc)
Change all the passwords used in iPhone: Apple ID, E-mail, Bank Account ....

What do i need to connect my mac book pro to the tv with the thunderbolt on the mac to hdmi? I have the newest macbook pro. I'm wanting to have the best picture I can get from my 1080p tv. thanks

what do i need to connect my mac book pro to the tv with the mac's thunderbolt port to hdmi? I have the newest macbook pro. I'm wanting to have the best picture I can get from my 1080p tv. thanks

Thanks Community! I solved the problem. In fact it was not a problem but lack of understanding. These guys at Apple are way ahead in thir thinking. I will try to explain as short as I can.
In Lion, ihe Prefferences/Display show only two choices: 6-7 steps of resolution and some color tab. No two screens, no two display to overlap, nothing for us to do. "That was the problem"! Everything is automatic.
When I connected the HDMI cable to the Miniport into a T-bolt slot, the TV screen showed the "spiral galaxy" how Zyriab is calling it. In fact he gave me the best clue. That shows the connection is good. But where is the Mac Book image?
You have to drag it to the right out of the Mac Book display area, and "voila!" it will continue on the TV screen. The same with the mouse pointer, push it out ofthe Mac Book display area and you see it on the TV sreen. Good image, you can keep the max resolution, etc. The sound is still on the Book's speakers. I have to figure that out.
Thank everybody, especialy Zyriab, ne was the closest.
High regards to everybody
