Will an iMac work for this?

I just found a working iMac G4 on Craigslist, and I am considering it as computer for my aunt. It is an 800Mhz with 512Mb ram. It has 10.2.8 on it, but I'm planning on installing Tiger. I have A 1GB set of ram from an iMac DV, which I'm almost certain will work on this model. She has a digital camera and wants to use iPhoto for the pictures. She also wants to be able to use their DSL connection to get on the web and check e-mail. What I really want to know is, will iPhoto '08 run smoothly with 800Mhz and 1GB of ram? will it be able to play videos on YouTube without freezing? Any advice would be great. Thanks!

The iLife versions have limitations on what they will work in;
given that iDVD and iMovie presupposes you have certain
hardware in place and a bus speed of a fast enough rate
to support this software set. iLife 06 may be fine enough.
There is some information on hardware and software in
MacTracker; your RAM information appears essentially
correct to a point, There may be faster (in rated n/s) speed
PC133 chips. I recall some of the older ones also had a
rating of 2-2-2, or 2-3-3, etc that meant speed. In the older
iMac400DV I had, matching RAM of high spec helped.
Some of the non-supported items, even in an earlier version
of iLife, won't be installed if the hardware is not available.
With Tiger 10.4.11 installed, the limits would be in bus speed,
available RAM, free space on hard disk drive for Virtual Memory;
and a few other bottlenecks. A CDRW drive omits iDVD unless an
external FW unit could be adapted for use.
There should be some specifications listed for old versions of iLife
or their component software parts, in the Support database. I had
been looking for a suitable version of iLife for use in iMac G4 1.25
computers since the bits I have are from Panther via upgrade. And
one of my computers has the correct iLife stuff for Tiger's era. If I
edit images in iPhoto in one, they may act differently in the other.
{So, having an installer for iLife versions is handy and saves wondering
what will work; and you can update from one to the other if a newer one
appears to be capable of working in that older iMac G4 800. I just gave
away a nice iMac G4 17" 800 with superdrive, 80GB HDD, AirPort, Tiger,
speakers and a few other nearly new accessories. Didn't have iLife...}
In any event...
Good luck & happy computing!

Will Airport Express work for this?

Hi. I've got multiple Macs, but only my 2 laptops are wireless. I've currently got an Airport Express hooked up to my router which supplies the laptops with their connection. I would like to stream my iTunes - which resides on an external drive connected to my 17" FP iMac - to my stereo system in a different room.
Now...if I pick up another Airport Express, will the fact that the iMac that the iTunes is set up is not wireless and instead basically physically connected to the main Epress cause a problem with it being recognised? I can see that one in Airport Utilitiy as it stands now. Or would I also have to get an Airport card for the iMac for it to see the second Express? I don't feel like paying $100 to find out that it won't work or this setup and all I've really done is extend the range of my network, which is not a problem.

No it will not cause a problem.

Will digital signature work for this?

Hi,
I've never done this before and wonder if it will work.
I'm using Acrobat 9 pro extended. I'm creating and sending a Copyright Agreement pdf file that has to be signed by me and the client. Using the form editing mode I can put digital signature fields. Then back in regular editing mode when I click on a field, it brings the Sign Document dialog with my name already selected and choosing Sign puts my digital signature. I can't remember what I've done previously for my name to be available but I remember signing digitally pdf documents in the past. I don't know if my client has previously signed PDFs but I would like this to be as smooth as possible and assuming the worst case scenario, I wonder if they will be able to sign it, what eventual troubles they may have, and what instructions should I give them along with the pdf?
I will greatly appreciate your help

To follow up on my original post, using Acrobat 9, I opened an empty pdf document, added a signature field, saved and closed. Then to test the user experience of my client, I opened it in the latest version of Acrobat reader. Mouse over the signature filed shows tooltip "Unsigned signature filed, (Click to sign)". Clicking however doesn't produce anything. I looked at the menus and buttons and the most relevant thing I found was the button with the tooltip "Sign, add text,or send the document for signature" Clicking this button opens a pane on the right side with all of its options grayed out and the only thing that can be used is a link to the EchoSign website listed as Powered by Adobe EchoSign.
If this is going to be my client experience, I'm afraid that my client may not have nether the patience nor the time to figure out how to sign the contract. I hope that I have missed something obvious that makes signing really quick and effortless.
Your input will be greatly appreciated.
This is a link to the empty pdf file with only a signature field. Can anyone sign this document?

Will Premeire Elements work for this application?

I need to add a slide show to a website. Would you reccommed Premiere Elements for this?
Thanks in advance,
Jeff

You are posting on the Photoshop Elements forum. But to address your question:
It depends what you want visitors to experience. Using PremEl you woul dbe creating a video, in effect, that they'd need to download. Using PSE you could create a downloadable PDF slideshow or [better IMHO] an HTML photo gallery.
You can download 30 day try-outs of both programs.

Will Flash programming work for this...

Hello,
We have a website (www.sportsoutfit.com) and we offer custom stringing for lacrosse heads. I want to create a program that a customer opens up, they can pick what lacrosse head they want, the stringing style and colors. I want them to be able to see the head as they build it and have the colors and stringing style change as they change their options. Is this something flash can do? I am open for suggestions! Thanks.
Bob

Additional considerations you might have are:
Is this just for the website visitor to see, but do nothing else with after they "build" the item? This is fairly achievable with the skills that most modestly experienced Flash developers have.
This application would need to contain (or load in) all images of the various categories (multiple heads, multiple strings/colors, etc.). Then you need to determine what kind of interaction you want the visitor to experience in order to build their custom product. For example, something that goes along with "Click a head from below, and then choose a string style and color".
Then, do you want the customer to be able to save this designed product, for purposes of creating an actual product order, that your shop would actually get the details from and build from? This increases the technical specifications & needs of the entire project, and requires lots of skill beyond just Flash.
Flash is GREAT for the presentation part of this experience, but you'd need to discuss with your web development/IT team to figure out how to handle the transmission of data.

I like the idea of auto back-up for my new iMac, Ipad and PC Netbook, particularly if I can access all files and data stored on any device. But I have a Conceptronic router. Will Time Capsule work with this and how?

I like the idea of auto back-up for my new iMac, Ipad and PC Netbook, particularly if I can access all files and data stored on any device. But I have a Conceptronic router.
1. Will Time Capsule work with this and how?
2. Can my printer USB be plugged in and then shared between the devices?
3. Can I create a network and how?
4. What happend when a visitor logs onto my existing wireless router?
I'm new to Macs (well a returning user having started with Mac Plus!!) and not very technical. Any help / advice will be much appreciated.
Ray

The key to what you seem to want to do is to be able to get Apple's Time Capsule router to "join" the network that your Conceptronic router. I believe that works with some third-party routers, but I've never seen a list of those that work in such a configuration and I have no experience with Conceptronic equipment.
You might be better off with a Network-Attached Storage (NAS) device instead of a Time Capsule.

HT201335 Will AirPlay mirroring work for watching TV episodes from the Internet?

Will AirPlay mirroring work for watching TV episodes from a television network's website that we have up on the iPad/iPhone/computer or is it just for iTunes?
We're contemplating canceling our cable and using Apple TV solely. if it will do that, it sounds like a good option for us.

If your Mac is 2011 or newer and you install OS X Mountain Lion on it, you will be able to mirror your screen to the AppleTV. DVD playback won´t work.
Airplay Mirroring compatible Macs:
iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)
More info: http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
As for your iOS devices it depends on the player app being used to play the video. Some players will let you stream the video to your AppleTV others won't. For example, the YouTube player will allow it, but the Netflix player won`t.

Probably won't work. You can buy a full license for CS6 which is already two versions and soon to be three out of date or you can subscribe to Creative Cloud.

You think Apple will give us something for this?

Do you think Apple will give us something in return for this chaos? Like maybe a free game or something? I have read soooo many stories and man its pretty messed up. Ive read ppl saying that "apple did not force them to update" but when ur iPhone says "New Update Available - 2.0" and you've waited since January for this, then they say that it will be here in March, then they say June then finally July....what do you think? There are some innocent people who just updated and were victims of this. This really s u c k s i know. but do you think apple will give us something for this?

Some of you people are clueless. You act as if Apple is completely blameless. here's a newsflash for you: If a company makes a product available, they have a responsibility to the consumer that it works properly. That's the basic idea behind express and implied warranty laws. "Oh, but it's free...so you can't complain!" - It's not free, and you're not very smart. Apple provides software updates to keep consumers happy, and keep us using their products. it's built in to the cost of the iPhone. A cost of doing business, if you will. If it wasn't beneficial to them, why would they spend countless man-hours developing the code? because it's a happy, shiny world? Yeah, exactly.
"But no one forced you to download the update!" - And no one forced them to make it available before the infrastructure was ready either. It's not as if Apple is new to this game. They had issues at launch. And I don't know about your job, but at mine...if I know I'm going to have issues, I make dang well sure I've got my bases covered next time around, so I have ZERO repeats. and given the scope of their marketing, it's not like Apple can say "Hurr, we didn't know it would be so popular, hur hur.".

The vga adapter (for a Benq projector, for example) is only for Ipod touch 4g? I have an 2g. Doesn't work for this?

Thanks in advance.

The VGA is for the 4G iPod only. The 2G can use the composite and component cables.

Does camera raw support the Nikon D5300, if not when there will be an update for this camera model?

Does camera raw support the Nikon D5300, if not when there will be an update for this camera model?

The asterisk next the model number on the download page linked above means there is preliminary support, which usually means the camera is supported by pretending it is an earlier model with similar sensor. This can lead to color issues, so while you can convert your NEFs to DNGs with the DNG Converter, and open them with PSE12, now, save your NEFs and be prepared to revisit those pictures once the final release of ACR 8.3 occurs probably in the next few weeks, with finalized support.

Reinstall the software properly. migration/ backups do not work due to the specific requirements of the activation system.

Will Recovery media work for similar laptops?

I have a laptop that has a hard drive that broke. Another family member has a similar laptop but it is a different model. It looks like both of them probably have the same software so will recovery media work for both of them? The Two laptops are
L775-S7309
and
P775-S7320

Recovery media will work ONLY on exactly the same models.

So I get this message non stop on my 3GS since upgrading to 4.1. My phone isn't plugged into anything and there's no dust build up at the port at the bottom. Any ideas?

http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2475631&start=0&tstart=45
Heres another thread abouth this topic. Was having same problem. Went to Genius Bar and they cleaned the port for me with static free brush and compressed air. Message went away......for a bit. Still pops up from time to time. Sometimes frequently , sometimes not. A real annoying problem. Also this started after the update to 4.0. Didnt go away with 4.01 or 4.1. Phone has been used in same conditions pre and post 4.xx. Another trip to Apple store is on the horizon.
