Why does the "Import from Camera" selection open up iSight instead of my camera?

My Sony Cyber-Shot is connected my iMac through the included USB. About an hour - two hours ago I clicked on the Import from Camera option and it showed my videos recorded using my camera, but now when I click the option it opens up the built in iSight instead. Can someone please help me? How can I get it to open up my camera video files instead of iSight?

I don't have the Sony, but on my Canon you have to have the camera in "play" mode and when you plug in the usb the camera asks to what do you want the camera to connect. You choose "computer." In other words, it makes a difference in what order you connect things.

iMessage requires both parties be using iOS 5. The iPhone 3 can not be upgraded to iOS 5, thus messages would be sent as an SMS (Text message)

Why does the bit debth of my raw file image different in my camera, in Brigde and in when opened in Photoshop?

I have a Nikon D700 12 megapixel full frame camera which has a 12 – 14 bit depth. I usually shoot images with the Nikon raw file format (NEF) with the color space setting at Adobe RGB (1998). When I select a photo to look at the details of the metadata in Adobe Bridge the bit depth is indicated as 16 and the color as RGB. Opening up the picture in Photoshop displays the long narrow detail line down the near the bottom of the screen. It indicates that the color is 8 bit but still Adobe RGB (1998).
Can someone please explain these fluctuations? This is still a NEF file I am referring to.
Thanks.

With Camera Raw open, you'll need to set the Color Space and Bit Depth is it to open as in Photoshop. See image:
Edit: Also, a raw file contains raw data - no embedded color profile. At least not that any programs, except Nikon's, will recognize.

Why does the print cue window stay open even after job is done?

In Tiger, and every other version of OSX I have any recollection of using, the printer window opens to display what's in the cue when you select to print something. Once printing is done, this cue closes. Since installing Leopard, everytime we print from our iMac, MacBook or MBP, the print cue window stays open indefinitely after the job is done, requiring a manual closing of the window. I can't for the life of me fathom what benefit this brings or who would want this. Is this part of Leopard or a problem with our install? Something I can turn off?

If you control-click (or right click) on the open printer queue in the Dock you can choose to have it auto close once the spool file is sent.
As to why this is necessary in Leopard, well I haven't seen a good enough answer to date...

Why does the Welcome to firefox tab open with my google tab every time I open the browser? And why can't the browser hold any add-ons I downloaded? I loose then when I close the browser, even tool bars have to be reinstalled every time I open the browser

Every time I open the browser the Welcome to Firefox tab is the first tab, then a second tab opens and thats my google, then a 3rd tab opens for me to reinstall my toolbar. This has been happening for a good year. Updates have not fixed it. Others have this problem. I did a search for an answer, the question is out there but no answer. Now if I go into add ons and add a background Theme or an extension it all is gone when I exit the browser. When I open the browser again I get all 3 tabs and have to install my toolbar again. I DO NOT want to reinstall as I will loose all my saved data, passwords, bookmarks, everything! I have had this computer for a year, Windows Vista x64 bit. Its not the computer, it's the browser. If you have specific questions e-mail me and I will be more then happy to help

See this article for some suggestions: [[Firefox has just updated tab shows each time you start Firefox]]

Why does the music from my CDs take up so much memory?

I'm new to itunes, and having just recieved an ipod (an 8 GB nano) for Christmas I started uploading my CDs to itunes yesterday.
I've uploaded 15 albums, containing 205 songs, which is 12.4 hours of playing time. According to the information at the bottom of my itunes, it takes up 7.38 GB of memory. 8 GB of memory is supposed to hold 2000 songs, so I don't understand why 205 songs have nearly filled the memory. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Kate

Maybe it has to do with the encoder you used to import your CDs to the computer. If you use a lower encoding (for example, mp3 or aac at 128 kbps) your iPod should be able to contain approximately 2000 songs. If you use a higher encoding (like mp3 or aac at 192 kbps or higher bit rates) , your songs will take much more space but the sound quality will be higher. To check what encoding you're using you can select a file, right-click, and click on "get info". More instructions on how to choose a new bit rate can be found at these links: http://www.ehow.com/how2019280set-import-itunes.html or http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-choose-an-itunes-encoder.navId-3232 15.html. After doing that, you'll have to import your cd's again using the new encoder.

HT204266 Why does the app "hiccup" and not open when I tap it

I updated my ipad and now several apps are frozen. I touch them, they jump, blink and don't open.

If these are third party apps meaning apps that you bought or downloaded from the App Store, try downloading another app - any free app is fine.
If these are random apps doing this, reboot your iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Why does the color change when I open a warm image in Photoshop CS6?

Whenever I open a warm color image in Photoshop CS6, the color of the image automatically changes? Please see the attached screenshots below.
What is the solution to this problem? Please Help.
I use Windows 7 Ultimate. Photoshop CS6.

There is no "problem" to "fix". A raw file is just the data captured by the sensor, not yet an image. To produce a useful image it needs to be processed in a raw converter, either automatically in-camera or with a standalone converter (ACR).
The camera LCD shows you an in-camera processed jpeg, according to the camera manufacturer's idea of how the raw data should be interpreted. There is nothing inherently "correct" about this, and a lot of the original data have been thrown away in the process.
ACR doesn't make any assumptions about how the final image should look. It shows you a neutral starting point, with default settings to preserve as much of the original data as possible. The rest is up to you. You're not supposed to just accept the defaults. The sliders are there for a reason.
You can change the ACR defaults at any time if you come up with settings that are more to your taste.

Why does the radio station I select keep having to rebuffer?

Lately, whenever I try to play the CBC jazz station in the iTunes radio directory, it keeps stopping to rebuffer. I choose another station, let's say, Bossa Nova -- Sky.fm, just above CBC in the list, and there is no problem. Why is that?

think of buffering like poring water into a cup with a hole at the bottom of the cup. To keep the water flowing constantly you have to re-fill the cup faster then the water pores out.
If your having re-rebuffer frequently your not downloading the file fast enough to play that file continuously. When you look at radio stations you may some time see 56K, 128k, 256K. The larger the number the faster your going to have to download the file to play it continuously.
So if it's buffering frequently you would want to try the lower broadcast rate. ie 56k instead of 128k. Some of the things that can prevent a station from streaming continuously include: downloading other files, loading large websites, poor internet connections, poor wifi signal.

Why does the scroll mouse freez when opening a pdf file in the browser?

My scroll mouse is freezing each time I opened a pdf file in different tab in the browser. When I close the tab (that open a pdf file), the scroll mouse back to normal.

Why does the location always read "go to a website" instead of the actual address?

If I were to go to www.amazon.com, why doesn't it show as this in the navigation bar? It always reads as "go to a website." I would like it show the exact http address like it always did.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

I have an old project with AVCHD clips and I want to import the clips again with surround sound. How can I relink the project clips to the re-imported ones without doing the project from the begining?

I have an old project with AVCHD clips and I want to import the clips again with surround sound. How can I relink the project clips to the re-imported ones without doing the project from the begining?
I have a sony handicam and I imported the clips to iMovie and they lost quality and converted the audio to stereo. I want to import the project to final cut X and import the AVCHD in 1080p and surround sound and export the movie in bluray. Can I relink the clips without editing everything again?
thanks!

Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view.
Photos that were synced from a computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing. If you want to remove them all then normally you could just sync an empty folder (in terms of photos) to the iPad, but as you don't want to sync at the moment you can't do that.
You can reset the iPad back to factory settings and start from scratch with it : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings

Why does the clone stamp work when I go from a darker colour to a lighter colour but not the other way around. How can I lighten up a dark area? Lasso tool takes from the wrong area too.

Why do you use the Blend Modes Lighter and Darker at all in this case and not simply Normal?
And what kept you from posting a screenshot?
I borrowed the image below for an HDR workshop I ran at the 2010 PSNZ National Convention, to demonstrate a method of removing halos. You'll remember that halos were a serious problem with early HDR, and while the halos in this image were caused by over sharpening, they are perfect for demonstrating this technique.
It relies on the fact that halos so often tend to put a lighter tone between the two areas where sharpening is being applied. Whether that is the sky abutting a dark line of hills, or the rock and little tower as in this image. I've uploaded it at the size it was supplied to me at (about 2700 pixels wide). So
Click to open the full image, right click and copy, and paste into Photoshop.
Select the clone tool, and set its blend mode to Darken.
Try to sample on a line horizontal to where you want to clone, to give the best tonal match, and start cloning.
Because the sky is darker than the halo, it overwrites it. But the rock is darker than the sky, so it has no affect.
It works even better if you clone on a new layer also set to Darken. No masking, just Photoshop blend mode magic.
You can also fix the little tower. Use a great big brush — just remember to sample horizontal to match the horizon.
Back then I was using the same trick with CAs after forgetting to fix them in ACR, and having done too much work to start again after spotting the problem.

How do I segment the import from a camera

In FCP7 (I am getting nostalgic) I could set I/O markers during the process of importing video material from a camera.
That way I could discard bad footage during the import process. FCPX does not seem to have that option, unless I missed it.
When I paused the import process to create a new archive for another segment of the tape, the new import rewinded the tape to the beginning and started the import from there. Does anyone have the same proble, or a solution?

There is no log and capture or batch capture function in FCP. You should be able to manually stop and start importing to capture sections. You cannot make selective archives. It's all or nothing.
