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

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, Dan

You 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.

Where is the best place to put music for itunes

I have just downloaded Itunes
I have a lot of music I want to add to the Itunes Program
Where do I store the music I have in the Windows 7 there is a folder called music
do I place all the folders into this (Music Folder)
and then have Itunes find the music folder and add them into the program
Is the best way to do it.
Over time I will add more songs do I just keep placing them into the music folder and have Itunes fiund the new songs and add?
I need your assistance
THanks
Mike

iTunes will not find files, you need to add them to your library.
launch iTunes, go preferences > advanced and verify the copy files ... when adding and keep ... organized options are checkmarked.
next, look inside the iTunes folder for a subfolder called automatically add to iTunes. drop your music files in there. when iTunes has finished adding the files to your library, you may delete the original files.

Where is the best place to get mus

I have the Zen Vision M and absolutely love it. I downloaded LimewirePRO because supposedly it is supposed to be better than just plain Limewire. Recently it has come to the point where NOTHING downloads from LimewirePRO. It only cost $20 to buy, so I looking into another downloading service. Are there are downloading services that you pay monthly or yearly instead of per song that are great services? I want something more like Limewire than iTunes. Thanks!

To people that will reply, please make sure your recommendations are legal sources.
LimeWire is a peer-to-peer service and not a legal download source, with it you're downloading music you do not own or did not buy, even if you pay for their download service.

Where's the best place to get a Mini DisplayPort cable??

That isn't the $30 Belkin one on Apple's site! (Need male to male for hooking MBP to new iMac)

You need to use Google to search for that part number, shown on the Apple page as F2CD008tt1.5M. This one came up

I don't think anyone else makes that cable for now.

Where is the best place to buy the new ipad? Please help

I am ready to buy a new ipad. There is no apple store in my town but I will be close to one in a couple of days. My town has Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. Assuming I can find what I want... in case I have issues with it, where is the best place to purchase from?? (as far as ease of return, etc). Please advise.

Dah*veed ..... I do not disagree with what you said about the AppleCare+ protection plan as it does state on the website that proof of purchase is required - IF ... You purchase over the phone. Actually, I did not expect to be able to do this over the phone, but as I said I received the paperwork today via email.
I copied this from the website and I'm typing this on my new iPad so it may come out a little distorted but you can read the sentence at the bottom that says it can be done over the phone with proof of purchase. I gave the rep my serial number, confirmed my address and CC details and the deal was done. I even called back later in the day to make absolutely certain that I did in fact purchase the AppleCare+ plan that has the two incidents of accidental damage included for a $49.00 charge. The rep did in fact confirm that I did buy the correct plan that I wanted and I am looking at the printed paperwork confirming the whole thing.
Maybe I just got lucky!
iPad - AppleCare+
Every iPad comes with one year of hardware repair coverage and 90 days of telephone technical support. AppleCare+ for iPad gives you two years of repair coverage and technical support from the original purchase date of your iPad. And it adds coverage for up to two incidents of accidental damage due to handling of your iPad, each subject to a $49 service fee.1
How to get AppleCare+
You must buy AppleCare+ within 30 days of your iPad purchase.
There are three ways to buy:
From the Apple Online Store: When you order the new iPad or iPad 2, you’ll have the option to add AppleCare+ to your cart before you check out.
At an Apple Retail Store (requires a Genius Bar appointment, inspection of the iPad, and proof of purchase).
By calling 1-800-275-2273 (requires proof of purchase).

Where is the best place to obtain US test cards so we can evaluate Apple Pay for UK in store retail?

We are in the process of evaluating whether Apple Pay is a viable payment option which we can offer our customer base in the UK. As it is yet to arrive here in the UK we would be attempting a POC with US (apply pay friendly) test cards. I imagine there are a few retailers doing the same, does anyone know where the best place to get suitable test cards?
Regards
Kevin

You would probably have to contact your POS supplier. This is a user to user support forum and I doubt anyone would have that information here.
FWIW, I have used Apple Pay on the contactless POS terminals in London taxis, with my US issued credit cards. It works.

Where's the best place to store email templates?

Hi all;
In a web app I store all my email templates in a files folder in the web app. Can't do that with a worker in a cloud service - no files. So where's the best place to store them? In a BLOB? And if so, is there a way to have files in my project get automatically
written to BLOB entries when I publish?
thanks - dave
What we did for the last 6 months -
Made the world's coolest reporting & docgen system even more amazing

Hi,
I think we could use azure blob to save files.
>>is there a way to have files in my project get automatically written to BLOB entries when I publish?
If you choose azure cloud service, you could write the upload code at role onstart method. If you choose Azure website, please consider use azure webjob to do this, refer to

Where is the best place to put cfqueries?

Where is the best place to put cfqueries, in the <head> </head> or before the html tag? Thanks

So before the doctype tag? Thanks
I just doesn't really matter. the doctype, head, body, etc only matter to the browser; the CF tags only matter to CF. The browser doesn't see the CFML, and CF doesn't care about the mark-up one bit: it just ignores it.
The best place - as I said - is not in the same file at all. But if you insist on slapping your business logic in with your display logic, then the only consideration is that you need to set your variables before you use them. Other than that: it simply doesn't matter.
One consideration you might make is - even if it's all thrown into the same one file - at least separate the file itself into sections: have all your CFML code that gets your data at the top, and try to limit the CFML you have mixed in with the mark-up, eg: limit it to stuff like loops and conditionals.
But, seriously, separate your concerns. Dan's pretty much just wrong when he said it's over-engineering. It's just sloppy to not to write tidy, well-maintained, well-organised code.

Where is the best place to make a slideshow with pictures and music on a mac?

Where is the best place to make a slideshow with pictures and music on Macbook Pro?

There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
(Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:

Where's the Best Place....

Hello once again,
I have yet to purchase my MBP, and I am wondering from all of your experiences, where is the best place to buy a 1gig 3rd party RAM. Paying all that money for Apple's RAM isn't that way I want to go, but if there's no recommended 3rd party companies, I may need to cough over the bucks...
thanks,

Fair enough. I wasn't actually suggesting buying from Crucial.The best source for the 1gb Crucial was Newegg.com at $150 - but this is also for a chip that Apple are supplying as original ram so it's not a bad price. I didn't know Crucial sold Samsung - seems a bit odd as they are owned by Micron who also supply Apple as OEM. Business makes for strange bedfellows:)
OWC sell their own branded ram for $112 or so and Samsung M470T295CZ3-CE6 (as also supplied by Apple) for $170. What I was saying was that this Samsung chip,
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Samsung/53SDR2SAM1GB/
can be found for as little as $120 - so OWC are a tad expensive for this particular chip if that is the one you were thinking of buying.
It sounds like you're going for the OWC own brand, so I can't recommend a cheaper source for that and they know a thing or two about ,macs so there's no reason to not trust their judgement.
Best of luck
Cheers.
