What Macintosh Machine is good for AAE CS5?

Hello people
First I want to thank everyone for their support in this forum
I'd like to make a question,I can afford around 2.700$ for a Good Mac Computer
I want it for HD Video Editting with After Effects CS5 and maybe for future use of Adobe Photoshop.
Many people told me that 24GB RAM is good,but no one told me what other parts to buy,If anyone knows please help me
PS:Correct me if I said anything wrong above.
Thank you all!

Just for PS and AE you won't need much more. To some degree harddrive speed and capacity for placing caches and temporary data will matter, so you should get 2 or 3 drives, assuming we're talking Mac Pro and not iMac. Graphics won't matter much. Choice is limited anyway and neither AE nor PS are particulalrly dependent on OpenGL...

What MS OFFICE is good for ipad 2

There is no iPad version of MS Office. You can use Apple's iDevice versions of Numbers, Pages, and Keynote which can read and export Office compatible documents. There are quite a few other third-party apps that do much the same such as Documents To Go.

What level CSS and HTML for Dreamweaver CS5 (Vers 11.0)

What level CSS and HTML for DW CS5?

CS5 does not support HTML5 in this sense -
1. It will not automatically start a new document with an HTML5 doctype (you can force it to do this - if you are interested I can tell you how), but you can always just replace what CS5 writes with an HTML5 snippet.
2. It will not show any of the new HTML5 tags in any of your menus (or in code hints) - if you want to do HTML5 you are on your own with manual coding.
The same is true with CSS - if you want to do any of the advanced CSS styles (like animation, gradients, rounded corners, shadows, etc.) you are on your own.

What is Hashtable.clone() good for?

I want to make a copy of a Hashtable. I read the javadoc of Hashtable.clone() and it says:
"Creates a shallow copy of this hashtable. All the structure of the hashtable itself is copied, but the keys and values are not cloned. This is a relatively expensive operation. "
What does this mean? I want my copy to be de-coupled from the original, i.e. when i change anything in my copy, the original should be untouched. But the sentence "the keys and values are not cloned" seems to result in a coupled copy. So I have to copy all keys/values into a new Hashtable object myself. Leading to the question: what is Hashtable.clone() good for?

I prefer this to ad hoc speed testing classes.

Direct Access Management Servers, what are the entry good for?

In the advanced Direct Access setup wizard you have the ability to enter your management servers. I haven't been able to find an explanation of why, what is it good for? If I understand everything correct DA gives full access to the subnet so why is it of
interest to list some servers as "management servers"?

Hi,
Management servers are servers that you are able to access from the da client Before logged on as a user.
Your domain controllers are by default infrastructure servers, but in many cases you want to add for example SCCM, NAP and other servers to be accessable prior logon.
If you are using the manage-out functionality in DirectAccess, and want to access a client prior anyone is logged on, the management server is also needed there.

Whats the check box good for?

Greetings!
I'm on a Monday roll. I got bit by a context menu so far so now lets try the check box.
I've always been under the impression that the check box was an include/exclude thing its either on or off.
Instance I was trying to burn a cd from a playlist and it went over. So I would un-check boxes for items in the list and try to re-burn the cd. Even after clearly it telling me I had less time and space itunes was still trying to burn the 'unchecked' items.
So .... what are the check boxes good for?? I'm sure I'm going to feel really dumb when the answer is presented.
Thanks for your time .. on a ridiculous question!
Dave

*I guess I haven't put enough thought into creating a playlist to contain every song I would like to play at a given time.*
By checking/unchecking songs, you alreay are doing it, except instead of having them in a neat, tidy playlist or two, you have the whole library to go thru.
Here's how I do it.
It's very simple to get new music and my favorites onto the iPod, once set it up.
I have a few playlist I sync.
One is a regular playlist (iPod Music) with all the music I always want on my iPod.
I also create a smart playlist.
The criteria are.
Match all rules;
Playlist is not iPod music (this keeps from selecting songs I already have)
My rating is not 1 star (keeps off stuff I rate one star)
Have not heard in last two weeks (rotates older music)
Limit selection to 2GB by Random (the size is set to the iPod total size minus iPod music playlist size).
Then I select the iPod, click the Music tab.
Tick Sync music and choose Selected playlists in the drop down.
Tick the two playlists above.
I add/delete from the iPod Music playlist to always sync this music.
Once a week or so, depending on how much I have listened to the iPod, select the smart playlist.
Select all the songs and press Delete. Since it's a smart playlist, it will automatically fill up again with new music based on the criteria.
Then I sync the iPod.
(I really gotta start a blog with this info in it since I type it a bunch...)

Ssoooo... what's this thing good for anyway?

So I just bought my powerbook used. This is my first mac. I may have under researched this decision. i'm now finding all sorts of guff about the powerbook g4s being "too slow" and "outdated". did I just waste a bunch of money on and obsolete machine. or is it possible to upgrade the hardware enough to salvage it for a few years?

I think it depends on what you paid whether you wasted money or not, and what your intended use is. Certainly the Powerbook series and G4 PowerPC processor has not been used for many years now, and support for programs, security updates, and so on is waning.
Assuming the hardware is in good condition, the only logical upgrades for this machine is to max the RAM and install a larger hard drive (both depend on which Powerbook you have).
While I would not be happy trying to edit video or do extensive Photoshop work (too slow), I still use my PB as a secondary machine for light duty tasks such as email, web surfing (except web video -too slow), photo viewing, iTunes playback, word processing, and so on.
Computers get better. I don't think Pentium 3 machines satisfy many PC users anymore either.

What FTP server is good for iWeb

Iweb just ate 7 years of images off all my old blogs and articles. I have limited machine back ups.
Tech support for 3.5 hrs was useless.
What FTP servers are iWeb users looking at to transfer to?

Any good hosting company will give you better service and tech support than MobileMe. Make sure you get a Linux account and that support is available 24/7.
Most offer a 30 trial and this page also has a link to free hosting which I have tested out...

Don't yet. Wait for the bugs to be worked out. I always give iTunes updates a good month or two before actually upgrading. Though you could check the discussion boards here and see what people are having troubles with if you'd like to form your own opinion.

What web design is good for macbook pro?

I just bought my macbook pro. LOVE IT! however I design my own website for my small business. I used to use Dreamweaver but want to know if anyone can suggest a better website design program? But has to be one of those easy ones! Suggestions please?

Yes, hibernation is fine. In hibernation the machine uses no power at all, the same as if it were shut down. In normal sleep, it uses a small amount of power to maintain the contents of RAM. To wake it from hibernation, press the Power button. Waking from hibernation takes longer than waking from normal sleep, but in both cases the machine will return to exactly the state it was in before sleep or hibernation.
On the website of the Deep Sleep widget's developer, no mention is made of compatibility with Lion. So if you encounter any strange behavior while using it, that could be a sign that it's not compatible.

As far as I know, there are no known security risks with it (at least no widely reported cases). I've used it for about three years, and have had no security problems with it. The UNIX programmer folks on here will have more specific technical information, but from a user standpoint it's perfectly safe to use. In fact, if you add other user accounts to your own computer, the other users can't even attempt to access it. It's pretty neat...

What's Empty List Good For?

I'm having a hard time understanding the point of an empty list. The following code doesn't let me add anything to the list:
public static void main(final String[] args) {
   final List<String> mammalList = Collections.emptyList();
   mammalList.add("Dog");
   mammalList.add("Cat");
   final List<String> fishList = Collections.emptyList();
   fishList.add("Shark");
   fishList.add("Grouper");
   System.out.printf("Mammals: %s%n", mammalList);
   System.out.printf("Fish: %s%n", fishList);
}Gives Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException
     at java.util.AbstractList.add(Unknown Source)
     at java.util.AbstractList.add(Unknown Source)
     at Test.main(Test.java:16)
So, if you can't use the empty list, why have it in the first place? Why not just say
List<String> mammalList = new ArrayList<String>();What's the added value of EMPTY_LIST? What am I missing here?

It's useful for return values from methods where the caller is not expecting a modifiable list.
public List<String> findSomeStuff() {
// ... do search here ...
if(!foundResults) {
    return Collections.emptyList();
// ... return real results
}It's also useful for simplifying subsequent code without having to deal w/ null values.
List<String> results = getSomeResults();
if(results == null) {
results = Collections.emptyList();
// process "results" knowing it is not null
for(String result : results) {
}In both of these cases i don't need to instantiate a new list ("emptyList()" returns an single existing instance).

What Dell Laptops are good for 3D Typography in Photoshop CC 2014?

Well the search goes on...my Dell 17 with Intel Pentium ain't cuttin' it! lol
My range is $900 - $1100. I'm looking for a Dell Laptop with a 17" monitor and ample processor with enough "dedicated graphics memory" to utilize the 3D features on Photoshop CC 2014 and Illustrator cc 2014.
Unlike the AMD and NVIDIA processors, which have a certain amount of RAM dedicated for just the graphics, Intel's i3, i5, and i7 don't list what amount of the RAM is dedicated to the graphics.
HELP!
Sincerely,
ALCi

As it happens, if you ever watch 'The Photoshop Guys' on Kelby TV, they nearly all use MBPs exclusively. I believe one of them also uses a desktop — maybe Cory Barker because he does all the 3D stuff. I'd worry that a laptop that does not specify video RAM, is using onboard video, and not a dedicated video card. The GPU is an important component regards Photoshop performance, so make sure you get it right.
