Where's the best place to get code converted between ActionScript 2.0 and 3.0?
Where's the best place to get code converted between ActionScript 2.0 and 3.0?
If I just have occasional (very small) projects, what's the best way to get them done really fast by somebody who knows both 2.0 and 3.0?
Thanks, DanYou have pretty much answered your own question... hire someone who has fairly thorough knowledge of both AS2 and AS3.
I have heard there are some tools for converting between AS2 and AS3, but I have no knowledge of them other than having heard that they cannot convert all things.... which makes sense because there is not always a one-to-one relationship to how things ae done with AS2 and how they get done with AS3. -
I have updated my mac from snow leopard to mountain lion 3 days back. I had some important data in my library folder and it got overwritten. Is there any way i can get the data back from my snow leopard library folder?
I tried mackeeper to recover files but it could not. Any other way any one has tried to recover a system library folder after OS upgrade?No, it doesn't store a clone. You would have needed to make one with either SuperDuper or CarbonCopy Cloner.
If the files were in your ~/Library folder then they may still be there. As I said, you can access it by
going to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library". I wouldn't think an upgrade would overwrite anything in ~/Library.
If you have a Time Machine backup you may also be able to use that to retrieve them. -
I am trying to install symantex antivirus and it says I need Rosetta from Snow Leopard. How do I get this?

You have a Retina MacBook Pro, it runs OS X 10.7 or 10.8.
It won't run Snow Leopard (10.6) and Rosetta is only for Snow Leopard to run older PowerPC processor based programs when Mac's used to have those instead of the Intel processors they all have now.
So that software your installing is incredibly old, if you bought it, return it for a refund.
Also you don't need a anti-virus for OS X, Apple installed one for all OS X 10.6.8-10.8 users.
If you need anti-virus to clean the Windows files of their malware before passing it on, then the free ClamXav does the job.

After updating to Mavericks from Snow Leopard, everything works BUT all my photos were lost. If I buy the current version of iPhoto for $15, will it run on Mavericks?
If you have iPhoto from iLife '11, then I would first install it on your computer. In that way you would be able to get the new iPhoto free since you are running Mavericks.
iWork and iLife for Mac come free with every new Mac purchase. Existing users running Mavericks can update their apps for free from the Mac App Store℠. iWork and iLife for iOS are available for free from the App Store℠ for any new device running iOS 7, and are also available as free updates for existing users. GarageBand for Mac and iOS are free for all OS X Mavericks and iOS 7 users. Additional GarageBand instruments and sounds are available for a one-time in-app purchase of $4.99 for each platform.
The iWork apps are free with a new iOS device since 1 SEP 2013. They are free with a new Mac since 1 OCT 2013. They are also free with the upgrade to OS X Mavericks 10.9 if you had the previous version installed when you upgraded. -
I have a macbook that the O.S. is 10.5.8 and I cannot update it or buy Snow leopard or Lion upgrades..any suggestions
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A for SL retail disks.
Once SL is intalled from retail disks the combo installer should be found to update it to 10.6.8, which install App Store to download Lion.
Is your computer Intel (required for SL)? If intel is it Core2Duo (required for Lion)?

I updated my computer from Snow Leopard to Lion. The problem is none of my pictures go to my IPad or iPhone. When I checked my settings, I go into ICloud and photo Stream, and it tells me that I need to buy a update. Any help would be appreciated.
Then maybe you need to buy an update.

I purchased the One to One when I bought my MacBook Pro, and I sent it in to Apple in order for the pictures and iTunes to be transfered. When I got it home no pictures or iTunes files were on it. What do I do?

If you already set up your Mac when you sent it, you should know that Migration Assistant creates a new user with the migrated data. Go to > Log Out, and log in the new user -
Where is the best place to get support for iPhoto?
Hello,
I have an issue that is listed here, in regards to iPhoto being very very slow, this is something that started to happen a while ago and I have been all over trying to find something to resolve this issue.
6000+ Images, it used to work fine but now it will not Quit, it just hangs. You can send some images via email then it will crash. I have tried all sorts of suggestions from various forums etc, but nothing. Clearing Cache's etc, nothing seems to help.
Is there any place I can get help from, or should I go directly to Apple for some suggestions?William,
You have come to the right place -iPhoto forum. It's the best place I know to get the help you need from knowledgeable iPhoto users.
When you say that iPhoto runs slow and quits, that sounds like a memory problem. How much free space do you have on your boot drive? The OS needs about by 15% free and clear disk space to use as virtual memory. An iPhoto library of 6000 can put a real drain on the system.
Apple recommends closing down other applications if you are getting sluggish response from iPhoto to free up memory.
Working in iPhoto you can also speed things up dramatically if you close all the rolls in the library source window, except the one you want to work with.
If you got the zoom set to give you big displays in that source window then minimize the zoom in the organize mode. I photo creates fasting loading thumbnails for browsing through your library. If the zoom is set all the way up, iPhoto has to load the full size file in the library for viewing in the source window. If it has to load all your photos full size in the source window you will get slow response and iPhoto is apt to quit on you

Im looking to get adobe Photoshop cs6, but with Adobe pushing the Creative Cloud, can I even get the program from the website? If not, where would be the best place to buy it?
As John says, they don't make it easy to find. CS6 is now almost 3 versions back with no more updates being rolled out for it.
As an alternative to purchase, you might want to consider the Photography Plan which includes PS CC and LightRoom for $9.99 per month. At least, that way you'll be eligible for updates as soon as they become available.
Creative Cloud Photography plan : Adobe Creative Cloud

If I upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mavericks, will my drivers be kept, and will my settings for Safari and Mail be kept?
Yes. Upgrading doesn't muck with your or 3rd-party stuff unless the latter is incompatible. Then, the installer will those things into a root-level folder entitled Incompatible Software. As for your printer, ensure that you install the latest printer update before upgrading. Also, note that all PPC apps will no longer work.

After updating my mac from snow leopard to mountain lion, i can not connect to the internet anymore
After updating my mac book pro from snow leopard to mountain lion, i can not connect to the internet anymore ;(
Anyone know what is wrong with it??
Is something wrong with mountain lion or the wifi itself????
HELP PLEASE!!
I need to use the internet desperately but i cant...
Thank you so much xxxHi galleryskins,
The article below may be able to help you with this issue.
Click on the link below to see more details and screenshots.
I've quoted some helpful highlights for you:
OS X Mountain Lion: Zoom content on the screen
Zoom with a mouse or trackpad
To zoom in and out, hold down the modifier key you specified while you perform the scroll gesture.
For example, if you have a trackpad and used the default settings, zoom in by holding down the Control (^) key while you drag two fingers up on the trackpad. Zoom out by holding down the Control key while you drag two fingers down on the trackpad.
If you chose Picture-in-picture zooming, a window appears near the mouse cursor with the magnified image. If you chose Fullscreen zooming, the entire screen displays the magnified image.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

I have ac OS X version 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. I bought the upgrade to Mountain Lion and started the download 2 hours ago. It is still downloading. What should I do? Is this typical?

There are several internet sites you can access to test both your upload and download speeds. Among them are:
Speedtest.net
Speakeasy.net
WhatIsMyIP.ccom
Be aware that there can and likely will be wide variations in the tested speed depending on the location of the server running your test, time of day, etc. The results should be taken with a grain of salt and treat variations of less than 10% as inconsequential.
