Which is the best hdd for mid 2011 imac

I am bit confused to choose from these 1TB 3.5" HDD
1. Seagate
2. WD Green
3. WD Black
I mainly use this iMac (21.5", Mid 2011) for Photoshop with large files from 800MB to 3GB. Some video editing etc.
Also I don't know the WD Black is compatible with the power supply or not as the HDD require more power than other HDDs.
Please suggest.

APC is a fine brand and probably the most recommended on these forums. One major error I see you made is to install PowerShute, it's simply not compatible with OS X and should not be installed. You should contact APC Tech Support for instructions on how to correctly uninstall it. I think once you do if your KP's are related they will go away. You should handle this first, don't just trash the software, that will not get rid of it. You need to follow APC's uninstall instructions, I know because I found out the hard way.
If all that is wrong is the battery has died then simply get a replacment battery. You can buy replacements from APC or from a battery distributor, I've even seen them on EBay. They're about like car batteries, when they go dead you replace it.

Which is the best UPS for my 2011 iMac?

I was using my iMac tonight and it randomly shut off. My APC UPS started beeping wildly. I reset it and the replace battery light was on so I think it is pretty much dead. It went 5 years so thats nice though. It was a 800VA model which was nowhere near full.
So I'm looking at a new UPS unit. APC lately seems much more expensive then other brands, and I had too many kernal panics in the past with that power chute software. I'm thinking of trying a Cyberpower model instead. 800VA or 1000VA depending on how close the prices are.
My concern is sine wave vs simulated sine wave. I have a 2011 iMac (22" Intel Core i5, 16GB ram, 1TB hard disk). I won't be running on battery power much, it's only in case of emergency. For example if I'm using the system and the power goes out during a major rain storm. I'd like to avoid the whole buzzing issue I hear about online, and any other issues that might creep up.
What would you suggest? If the difference was small, I'd go for sine wave instead of simulated. But if it's $50 to $75 or more, I'm starting to lean towards simulated sine wave.
I'm currently considering the Cyberpower CPR1000AVRLCD and the CP1000PFCLCD. My unit that died was a APC Back-UPS RS 800.

Which is the best iOS for iPhone 3G? I am currently on 3.1.3 !

Which is the best iOS for iPhone 3G?
Should i update it to the latest 4.2.1 or let it be on my current firmware 3.1.3?
I have heard that 3G is best on 3.1.3?
Comment?

If I may, I agree that version 3.1.3 is the best for the iPhone 3G, however, I am currently travelling in Europe and I have a SIM card from a local mobile company. I discovered the hard way that there is an option missing: Settings > General > Network > Cellular Data (on/off). This option is not present in iOS 3.1.3. So basically, you disable 3G but it is impossible to block EDGE, and your phone will automatically revert to it if 3G is not available, and you will occur cellular data fees anyway.
I am sure of what I am saying because with the local service I use, I have unlimited data for $4 per day, but it is debited as soon as I consume one byte of data, then it is free until midnight the same day. Event if I have set Enable 3G = off, Data Roaming = off, for two days in a row, I was still charged the $4 a day because the Cellular Data was not off!
I compared with my wife's iPhone 3GS with iOS 5.1, there is the three options, Enable 3G (on/off), Data Roaming (on/off), Cellular Data (on/off). The option to turn it off simply doesn't exists on iOS 3.1.3!
With some research, I found that it is possible to block it anyway if you change your APN (Access Point Name) to an invalid setting. The easiest way to do this is to connect to the Internet using WiFi, then access this web site with Safari: http://unlockit.co.nz/ (from your iPhone).
This online tool allows you to change your APN, it is very useful when you travel abroad and you use local SIMs. On the first screen press Continue, on the second screen press Custom APN to create an APN for a local mobile company, or press Disable Data (FakeAPN) to disable 3G and Edge for good. When creating a Custom APN, you will be asked to choose a Country and a Provider, then press Create Profile. Then, either way, press Install and "Install Now" or "Replace", then press Done. This will add two things to your phone: first, an app-like icon for quick access to the website http://unlockit.co.nz/, second, a new menu in Settings > General, labelled "Profile", that contains your new APN. Note that it is possible to add several profile information, and some may conflict with each other. Remove those you don't need. Don't remove them if you are not sure!
I hope this works for you!

I meant RECORDS instead of REGISTERS.Maybe that is where you are going wrong, records are for putting on turntables.

Which are the best settings for exporting comps before edditing in Premiere Pro

Hello everyone!
As the title says, which are the best settings for exporting comps from AE to Pr.Pro and then edit them?
Let me explain: I have two comps in AE (intro and outro) and want to export them in Pr.Pro for edditing along with a fottage i shot.
When i render them the size of the files are huge (30 sec= 7GB).
Which is the best method (and settings) i can export the intro and outro to a 'normal' file size and then put them in Pr.Pro without loosing any quality??
[Comp settings: HDTV 1080 29.97 (1920x1080)]
AE and Premiere Pro both CS4

If you're rendering and exporting an intermediate video file to go from After Effects to any other piece of post-production software (such as Premiere Pro), you want to make sure that you're not losing any quality.
Most compression methods, which make movies smaller, also lose some of the image data---i.e., quality. There are a few compression methods that don't lose any image data; these are "lossless" codecs. These lossless codecs do decrease the size of a video file, but they're nowhere near as effective at decreasing size as the lossy codecs are. But file size isn't important when you're doing post-production work. Big files are a fact of life in post-production.
Examples of lossless codecs include the PNG codec and the Animation codec at the highest quality settings, both of which can be used in a QuickTime (.mov) container. I prefer the PNG codec; it's more efficient for photorealistic images, whereas Animation is more efficient for things like cartoons. There are lots of other lossless and nearly lossless codecs. A lot of people that do video editing like the Lagarith codec, but that is something that you'd have to go and get; it's not part of a standard CS5 or QuickTime installation.
See these FAQ entries for information about compression and why file sizes are big for losslessly encoded files:
"FAQ: Why is my output file huge...?"
"FAQ: What is the best format for rendering and exporting from After Effects?"
By the way, keep in mind that you don't always need to render and export an intermediate movie to go from After Effects to Premiere Pro. There are other ways to move data back and forth between these applications, including Dynamic Link. Which is best depends on the specific circumstance. See "Working with Premiere Pro and After Effects".

Is there a way to run a 2005 PreSonus Firebox(with the firewire) to a mid-2011 iMac 0SX 10.7.2? It says its no longer supporting Power PC? Anything I can do without spending more money on new equipment or a new computer? Please help me.

Nevermind, I got it working.
I ended up extracting the new vob within MPEG Streamclip, which gave me an m2v and an aiff audio. I multiplexed those two back together in FFMpegX which gave me a complete VIDEO_TS folder with BUP and IFO files I needed.

Anyone have any idea which is the best application for taking notes and essay writting?

im starting my first year of university and i was wondering what would the best application for taking notes on be? and also whats the easiest, most reliable and effective way to transfer documents off the ipad? Any thoughts on printing aswell?
will be appreciating all the help i can get!

You're going to get as many answers to that question as there are people to answer it. You don't state if you want to take handwritten notes or if you will be typing. For handwritten notes, I really like Noteshelf. It has lots of export options, my favorite being to Evernote (which you might want to look into as well for storage). For typing notes, I'd go with Pages, Documents to Go or QuickOffice. For working with PDFs, I like PDF Expert.
I've recently heard good things about Note Anytime. It is free for a limited time, so it'st probably worth downloading to try out.

Which is the best way for creating video placeholders in AE?

I should create some video placeholder for AE animation, but I am not sure which is the best approach to do that.
I found some tutorials on the web where is explained how to create basic placeholders in AE, but I want to do something better.
Could I create some placeholder even in Photoshop? And after that to import this psd files into AE.
I saw some intersting placeholders on Videohive but I don't know how to create something similar?
Any help?
Regards!

Any layer may be replaced with new footage by simply selecting the layer you want to replace in the composition, then selecting the new footage in the project panel, then holding down the Alt/Option key and dragging the new footage to the composition.
If you want to automate the process of replacing footage you'll have to use a script.
If you want to use a project as a template then simply copy the template file in it's folder and paste it into a folder that contains the same structure as the template. IOW, the folders should look like this:
Template Project
     >template.aep
     >Footage
New project
     >copiedtemplate.aep
     >Footage
Your footage has to have the same filename as the original template project.
You can also save an AE project as a template (aet) project. That's what they are doing on siges like Video Hive. The template isn't easily overwritten so it maintains the work. Then you simply add your footage using the first technique that I talked about.

Which is the best API for creating restful web services.

Hi guys,
I have tried a lot of apis to create a restful web service. But none of them has perfect documentation or examples. Which is the best one that has good support and future.

"Best" automatically implies opinions and speculation; one I personally believe has a bright future is Jersey. Jersey is the reference implementation (RI) for [JSR-311|http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=311] ("The Java API for RESTful Web Services" or JAX-RS).

I have a JVC HD camcorder that creates videos in AVCHD format that ipad cannot play. Which is the best tool to convert these avchd videos to the format ipad can play?

Airplay is a wireless streaming protocol. It allows content to be pushed from the iPad through the Apple TV onto your connected HDTV.
If she wants to see the iPad displayed on the big screen and/or play games that involves mirroring. As long as it's an iPad 2 (or later) then you will be fine. More info on both has been referened below

Which is the best alignment for a Date-time data type (WPF)

Hello,
sorry If I'm asking this question in the wrong place (If you could help me where to ask it :) )
I have read the Microsoft guidelines for Layout. Left and right alignment are briefly described... but I don't see anything for Date/Time data type? What is the best alignment for this type of data?
Can you tell me where I can find the relevant information? Microsoft guidelines or other?
We are using WPF.
Thank you very much :)

Welcome to the discussion area!
+1) Will using the TC on a wireless network as a repeater half my connection speed while doubling my coverage?? In that case it might be worth it..+
Unfortunately, the Time Capsule will only "extend" a wireless network if the network has been created by another Apple "n" router. So the Netgear would not be compatible with the Time Capsule for this purpose.
If you could connect the Netgear and Time Capsule together using an ethernet cable, you would be able to create one large wireless network.
+2) Do I have any reason to believe I could get better coverage using the TC as the Base Station and trying to virtually impossible task of setting up the Netgear as a bridge?+
Not sure about "better coverage", but the Time Capsule would create dual band networks operating at both 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz so faster devices could connect at 5 GHz for maximum speed and slower devices would connect to the 2.4 GHz band.
In addition, if the Time Capsule connects directly to your cable modem, you could enable the "guest" network feature if you needed that function. (However, if the Time Capsule is configured in the network as a "bridge", the guest network feature cannot be enabled).
On a quick glance, your Netgear router does not appear to be a simultaneous dual band device. If that's the case, you could configure it to expand either the 2.4 GHz band or 5 GHz band (assuming it will handle 5 GHz) for wider wireless coverage. But, the connection between devices would need to be via ethernet cable, and as you point out, the Netgear would need to configured as a "bridge" in this type of setup.
If running the ethernet cable is simply not possible, take a look at a pair of ethernet powerline adapters to accomplish the same task using the AC wiring in your home to transmit the ethernet signal. While not as good as a straight ethernet cable, this type of connection would still yield better performance than wireless only, if the devices were compatible.

How do I update firmware for mid 2011 iMac running Yosemite?

I tried the link in the Apple support pages, but it told me I need Lion to install it. I bought the computer used. It came with Mavericks and I updated to Yosemite. I don't have Lion or any way (or desire to) install it.

There is no update for the mid-2011 iMac firmware that will fix the fans running at high speed.
Only the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) Apple hard drives had the proprietary firmware designed to properly monitor the hard drive temperature.
So you have several possible solutions:
1. If the computer was sold to you with a warranty, rather than "AS IS", my first choice would be to force the seller to restore the computer to the condition it was represented to be in when you purchased it, with an OEM Apple 500GB drive that does not cause the fan problem. If they cannot or will not correct the problem, make them take it back and refund your money. Consumer advocates such as the Better Business Bureau can help you prepare a formal complaint against the seller, and perhaps lead to a successful resolution through arbitration, without hiring an attorney and filing a lawsuit.
2. If you bought the computer "AS IS", you'll have to attempt to repair the problem yourself:
A) Locate an exact replacement for the original OEM Apple hard drive with the proper firmware and install it on your own;
B) Purchase a 'compatibility kit'. OtherWorldComputing www.macsales.com reverse-engineered a solution to the problem and sells a short cable with an external temperature sensor for the hard drive that can be used successfully with non-OEM drives. http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/DIDIMACHDD11/
They also sell the sensor cable with a toolkit that can be used to disassemble and install the cable. http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/DIYIMACHDD11/
C) Try the fan control program mentioned in earlier replies.

What's the best HDD for MBP 2006

Old HDD is not dead, just comatose, need a new one. https://discussions.apple.com/message/16041070#16041070 I had 100GB stock, 7200 rpm.
I'm leaning towards a Seagate: http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Momentus-7200RPM-Internal-ST9500420AS-Bare/dp/B001 R4BBLU
Who has experience w/ this drive? Advice? Recommendations? Something else works better? Concerned about the following tidbits in reviews:
1. the hd I received requires a 5v additional power source which does not work with most macbook or macbook pro.
macbook will not recognize the hd that renders this hd useless.
2. The 7200 is fast, really fast. But in my macbook, it vibrates my whole table. Probably should have gotten the 5400 for my laptop.
3. Used in a 2006 MacBook. Failed in 5 months
I trust the advice on this forum far more than on amazon. If anyone would care to chime in.

similar specs, mostly good rev.s at Newegg, but:
"You can feel & hear the vibration compared to the old drive.
Hmm feels like an extra fan is on...not crazy bad but it's there.
Not at all surprising. As I said "2. All other things being equal, a 7200RPM is going to vibrate more."
On top of that, luck also plays a part. Individual units are going to behave differently, within acceptable quality control parameters.
Other Thoughts: This drive comes with ShockGuard technology which conflicts with the MacBook Pro's SMS tech. I have a mid 2010 macbook Pro 13" and would get beach balls while trying to open files. Even if it was using TextEdit and some of my directory structure wouldn't appear while trying to open files.
I disable the SMS via terminal http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1934
and it worked like a normal drive. No more beach balls.
Not sure if this is the right drive for me or this machine..."
Not sure what to think about this. Some first-hand, installed-in-a MBP-and-here's-what's-happening type feedback wouldn't hurt my feelings.
I hope others will be able to offer you first-hand experience, but if not, xlr8yourmac is a good place to look for more "reviews." If you're referring specifically to disabling the SMS, this is perfectly normal. Some HDs have built in "SMS" capabilities, and these conflict with the MBP's built in SMS, so one must be disabled.

Which is the best mouse for photo editing in Photoshop CS5?

Hi everyone! Im planning to buy a mouse and can't decide which one would be the best. I have been using Photoshop CS5. Im really into photgraphy, its a new passion of mine. I use a Macbook Pro but I think its time to get a mouse. I know a lot of people think that the tablet is the answer and Im looking into that but I really want to try a mouse first. Thanks for the answers!

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
I recommend the 15-inch MacBook Pro if you can afford it. That's because Photoshop runs better on a dedicated graphic card, which only the 15-inch MacBook Pro includes, but it should run without any problem on a 13-inch MacBook Pro too
