What is the better sounding format with the least space?

In other words, which of these do you think sound the best and take up the least space:
MP3
AAC
WAV
Apple Lossless
AIFF
I'm doing this because i want to convert my songs to the best sounding but take up the least space or at least a reasonable amount of space...

The general consensus is that AAC at 128kbps sounds about the same as MP3 at 196kbps, so you can get the same sound quality with a smaller file size.
Ultimately, your ears are the only judge that matters. If you like the sound of 128kbps AAC, then use it. If not, play around and see (hear) what you like best.
Another option is to use MP3 or AAC at a higher variable bitrate (VBR). This allows the encoder to "ramp up" the bitrate when the music demands it.

Will the beta version mess with the catalogs in LR3?

Hey All-
Looking forward to the new version but I don't want to screw up what is working in LR3. Will 4 work with the old catalogs? When it expires what happens to work done in the new version? Does the new version mess with the old catalogs?
Thanks,
Don

The beta won't mess with the old catalogs. The final will upgrade both the old ones and the beta ones.

You need to explain a little better what is wrong here. Sounds like maybe a broken screen and you are trying to do something with the phone?

I want to save each image as different layer and finally the canvas should be save in .psd format show i can open that .psd file in photoshop..

What version of Photoshop Elements came with the Epson V500 scanner?

What version of Photoshop Elements came with the Epson V500 scanner?
Will Photoshop Elements 13 work with the Epson V500 on Windows XP and Windows 8?

Hi,
I don't have a V500 but the data sheet for it says that it came with PSE 5 for Windows - unless they released a newer package.
PSE 13 will NOT run on Windows XP - you need Windows 7 or 8.1
PSE 13 doesn't support the Twain interface on 64bit systems and so is unlikely to support the V500.
The last release that might work for you is PSE 12 but keep in mind that there will not be any more updates for that version.
Your best bet is to download the trial version and test it on your system. If it works you might still be able to find PSE 12 for sale in some of the stores.

There is something wrong with the volumes buttons in my macbook pro, every time i pressed the one who raises the volume, it leads me to the screen where (i do not no what its called) the background is black with the date and time and a calculator. However, when i lower it, my safari tab goes out of the screen. What do you guys think i should do? I'm getting very nervous.

hey HAbrakian!
You may want to try using the information in this article to adjust the behavior of your function keys to see if that resolves the behavior:

When you buy an iPhone in the U.S. it's locked to that country with the carrier you bought it for.
If you bought the device unlocked in the U.S. it's unlocked, you can use it on any carrier. Even one's outside the country.
If you want to do a repair on a device you bought in the U.S. and your using it in another country, you must send it back to the U.S. Why? That's where you bought it from.
AppleCare Protection Plans and AppleCare Limited Warranties are registered to your hardware.
Your hardware is your iPhone.
Wherever hardware that was bought then that's the country it was designed to be used in and that's where it was manufactured.
Apple is very localized - if you call U.S. tech support, you'll speak to somone in your country.
So, what does all this mean?
In order to do a repair, you need to send it back to the country you got it from.
And we're all customers like you. We understand that you're upset, but Apple isn't gonna bend the rules to one individual.
Policy is policy. Get over it.

We just added a new iPad Air to our family of 4 apple devices and I can not get it to join the automatic Photo Share with the other 3 devices. What have I overlooked in set up?

I added an iPad Air to our family of Apple devices a few weeks back and can not get it to participate in the auto Photo Share with the other 3 devices. My Mac, iPhone and first generation iPad share but the new device does not. ITunes sees all 4 devices but I can not get the new iPad and other 3 to share.
Any ideas what I may have overlooked in setup? Thanks!

Open the Time Machine pane in System Preferences. If it shows that Time Machine is ON, click the padlock icon in the lower left corner, if necessary, to unlock it. Scroll to the bottom of the list of backup drives and click Add or Remove Backup Disk. Remove all the disks, then add them back. Quit System Preferences. Test.

Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
Or if you are running 10.7 Lion, boot from the recovery partition (Command +R on boot) and use Disk Utility to repair your OS 10.7 partition.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is, then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions. After repairing use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for restarting from your hard drive.
If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

Tool creation for checking program of ABAP in TXT format with the ABAP stds

Tool creation for checking program of ABAP in TXT format with the ABAP stds

Hello Jagrut
There is a simple reason why we cannot do off-line ABAP development:
- the ABAP dictionary (which contains all structures, tables, data elementes, etc.)
Because even the simplest ABAP report (except for the "Hello World" report) will reference some objects from the ABAP dictionary and, thus, requires to access these objects directly. Therefore, we are still bound to server-side ABAP development.

Uwe

Now the bad news. In my "Print to Video" pop up, if
I select "Color Bars" , "Black", or any other option
and take out my bars and tone and slug from the
timeline, the print to video does not print anything
to tape except for a nice nothing blue. I don't
even get my actual timeline video printed to tape.
Jerry,
You are a genius! Man do I feel silly. So just for the benefit of others who might read this post, I did exactly as you said, and of course when I restarted FCP, I had to identify my Firewire NTSC setting for the drive. This time, instead of leaving my tapedrive offline, I left it on and immediately saw on my drive monitor the video coming off of my timeline.
Every thing works perfect. I now have a clean timeline with just the content I'm working on and don't have to worry about bars, slugs, post black. Just a few checkboxes and I'm ready to send my tapes off. Really nice feature.
Thanks!

HT5037 when I click on iPhoto(9.5.1) i get "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared." but i downloaded the up-grader, used it and it tells me the library can open with the current version... what should i do now?

When I click on iPhoto(9.5.1) i get "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared." but i downloaded the up-grader, used it and it tells me the library can open with the current version... Then when I click on the iphoto again i get the same message "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared."'
What should I do?

The upgraded is only necessary for libraries created with iPhoto '07 or eearlier. Just double click the library to open it in iPhoto, and let it upgrade, if it has been created by a newr version.
