Will connecting to TV give better graphics

I can't play some games on my bootcamp partition because my graphic card is not good enough (imac mid2010 21.5"). If I connect to TV via mini display/thunderbolt and HDMI will i be able to run the game. Are TV graphics better than iMac's...?

Hi,
Unfortunately this isn’t how this works, the graphics card in your mac controls and pushes the video to your TV. So, in short, when you connect to your TV you are still using the card inside your Mac. The way a TV is used when you connect your mac to it is the same as a monitor, it doesn’t have a graphics card in the sense that a computer does and so connecting to it won’t boost your graphics processor.
The only solution of this sort is to buy an external graphics card enclosure but this is an expensive and relatively inefficient option. So your best bet, if you play a lot of high power games is to buy a new computer. If this isn’t an option for you then perhaps see if you can turn down the graphics settings on the game as this might help.
Hope this helped you ,
Rob

Will upscaling or using clone stamp/healing brush to upsize give better resolution?

I'm designing a 5.25" square CD cover using a rectangular image and the resolution needs to be min. 300ppi to print . The artist sent me the art image (painting) from her camera as a jpeg and it goes to photoshop as a large (approx 20" X 24") file at 72 ppi. To change the ppi to 300 without resampling (I've been told this is best), the image becomes too narrow (4 1/2") and too high (5.9").
I don't want to crop because I don't want to lose content. I want the image to completely cover the CD cover And I want to keep the same proportions for certain parts of the image. So I believe my two best options are as follows:
1. Bring the image to 300ppi with the measurements above, protect certain parts of the image on an alpha channel, content aware scale the rest of the image wider to make it square and then resize down a bit for the CD cover or
2. Bring the image to 300ppi and then use the clone stamp and healing brush tool or content aware fill (doesn't work so well on this image) to duplicate and extend the sides of the image to widen and square it and then resize down a bit for the CD cover.
Does anyone know which of these options will give the best resolution? Is upscaling more likely to cause pixelization than the other option? Is there a better way? Should I do options 1 and 2 to the large 72 resolution image instead of bringing it to 300ppi first and then upscale or clone stamp--would that give better results?
Thanks, any help is greatly appreciated!

You've said that you don't want to crop, and you want to cover the entire CD cover. That leaves you with two choices. Extend the short side(s) via cloning, content aware fill, etc. or stretch the image in one direction, either with the standard free-transform or with content aware transform. See what looks best. Your resolution will be fine. You can res up if you need to. The amount you're short will not matter here. Leave room for bleed - usually 1/8".

Why Apple doesn't provide options in IOS to power off, reset, standby ipad/iPhone/ipod ? I don't se this opiton in IOS6 as well ? This option will help to avoid pressing power button less number of times and gives better user experience.

They do.
Standby = press the Power button
Power off = Press and hold Power button then slide the red power off slider.
Reset = Press and hold both Reset adn Home till you see the Apple logo.
This option will help to avoid pressing power button less number of times and gives better user experience.
Because it is better to not push the power button and more enjoyable to not push it?

Better graphics card for Mac Pro 5?

I have a new mac Pro and have recently been having some trouble with a 3D modeling program that I use crashing constantly. I have looked into the possibilities of it being software related but after more research I've found that many mac users using the same program are having the same issue. They replied that more often than not the issue was fixed by updating their graphics card. My question is, is there a better graphics card out there that I can upgrade to, or is what I'm running already up there?

The current top-end card is the ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB. You can purchase it from the Apple store and install it.
However, I don't know whether it will fix your crashing issue.

Since installing the latest update, Firefox will not load; it gives me the following error -- XML Parsing Error: not well formed.

since installing the latest update, Firefox first operated with some errors but now will not load at all; it gives me the following error --
XML Parsing Error: not well formed
locations chrome://browser/content/browser.xml
Line Number 1191, column 20:
utton id="back-forward-dropmarker" type="menu" chromedir="&locale.dir;"-------------------
please note that the words "utton ID" are exactly as the error message gives it; and at the end of the message there are exactly 19 hyphens.
I don't know why this faulty code is referencing things to do with "chrome"... the Chrome browser is not installed on this PC or anywhere on our network.
Also, this is not the first problem I had after clicking Firefox's prompt for the latest update. Before Firefox retreated into this error message, it was loading but running with some faults...
1. the bookmark symbol was not appearing on the right hand side of the URL line, so I had always to click on "bookmark this page", after which the bookmark symbol did appear; however I don't know if the bookmarking function worked properly.
2. the back and forward buttons were not highlighted, as if I had not come from a previous page; so once I clicked on a link to a new page I could not go back to where I came from because Fiefox thought I hadn't come from anywhere.
3. there may have been other errors, but I did not find them.
How do I reinstate my Firefox program to work properly please? do I have to download the latest version and reinstal? if so, do I have to remove the old version first? or is there a fix?
Even to write this message I have been forced to use (yuk -- I don't like to say this!!!) Internet Explorer. So please -- I need help urgently.
Thanks,
NOEL

Some how I solved my problem by opening a user account and downloading Firefox 4.0 beta and installing it, I did try it, worked fine, so I did close the user account and did go back to my own account(switched user), the main page that I had problem with Firefox which would not open, I dabble click on Firefox it start working again!! I hope that solves your problem too.

Hello there ypda75,
I have an article here that has a list of settings to get from your Email provider so you can make sure that the settings are correct. It has troubleshooting steps to try as well. Also I would recommend restarting the router, and/or testing a differnet network.
iOS: Unable to send or receive email
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3899.
If you are unable to send or receive email, try the following steps:
Restart the iOS device.
Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage to ensure that the device has Internet access. If you're unable to load a webpage, try the Wi-Fi assistant.
Try an alternative Internet connection.
If your email is provided by your Internet provider, try connecting from the home network.
If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, try to disable Wi-Fi: Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
If not, try a different Wi-Fi network.
Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
Delete the account from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and then add the email account again on the iOS device.
If you're still unable to send or receive email, contact your email provider and verify the account settings are correct. You will need to gather this information (PDF).
All the very best,

Where Can we Download the "old" speedgrade ... so we can give better feedback for integration?

Where can we download the "old" speedgrade, so we can give better feedback for integration with aftereffects and premiere. I haven't used speedgrade, but I'm assuming it's like Davinci Resolve ... color grading is something you have to play around with a bit, to give decent feedback on integration. On one extreme, I like the ease of aftereffect composites. On the other hand, using graph operators (such as in Resolve and things like blender) ... is real nice ... but it's really not how i do work on the adobe side. I'm looking for a color grading approach that isn't for tier 1 film, but more for tier 2, independant and/or corporate work. I'd also love the ability to mix special effect compositing (like I currently do with AE), with coloring (which I currently have to do in in another program). I also have two work streams I would like to test, one RED and another 1080p for normal corporate stuff (which i currently don't color grade btw).
Anyway, I see some wierd links on downloading the old speedgrade, I don't see any download links on the speedgrade web page ... would be nice to see what the old speed grade does so I can comment competently.

Adobe SpeedGrade CS6 is at the door, official preview will be held at NAB, I'm currently testing a preview version of SG CS6 and I want to say that it works very well, so stay tuned on the Adobe website.
I tried to "stay tuned", here on this Adobe Website ...and your post is the first confirmation that Adobe Speedgrade still has any sign of a beating heart.
Totally dissapointed in Adobe for lack of SG communication to keep my interest up.
Regardless of that, I am looking forward to seeing it.
EDIT:
Speedgrade In CS6...brilliant to see it is now "a reality" ...and so excited and looking forward to checking it out.

I replaced an old airport extreme with a new one. None of my wifi devices will connect - always say incorrect password. Reinstalled old device, works fine. Any ideas?

I have a 5 year old airport extreme. I bought a new one to upgrade for better range. I connected the new one to the internet with a few problems, but a phone call to my internet provider resolved them. With an ethernet cable from the new airport extreme to my iMac, I'm connected. However, none of my wifi devices will connect. They see the network, but it either says "incorrect password" if I'm trying a new network name and password, or it repeatedly asks me to reenter the password if I use the old ones. I reinstalled my old airport extreme and everything works fine. I'm about ready to box up the new one and return it. Any ideas?

It is extremely difficult to fix these issues.. remotely.
If none of your wifi devices work.. that does sound unusual..
Have another try.. This time deal with the COMPUTER only.. leave everything else turned off.
Unplug the Extreme from the router.. reset it to factory.. do this full setup.
Unplug power from the Extreme.. hold in the reset button.. plug in the extreme to power and keep holding in the reset.. 10sec or so the front led should flash rapidly.. release the reset and wait a couple of min.
Now in the computer does the Airport extreme show up under wifi as new device??
Please make sure IPv6 is set to link local only to go further but it should work no matter what the settings are.
No luck clear out all the old wireless names from the computer.. reboot the computer and try again to scan for new wireless devices.
Hold the reset and try again.. it must appear in the wifi to be setup.
No sign of it the unit is faulty and can be returned.

Airplay has quit working. I've got the latest updates. No apple products will connect to it.

Airplay has quit working. I've got the latest updates. No apple products will connect to it. Any ideas?

Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.
If you are still having problems, the following article(s) may help you.

Since the MacBook Pro currently works, you should put it next to the iMac and compare the network settings for AirPort in System Preferences Network pane Advanced. Also, if you want to start off with the default network settings, you can use Location drop down menu and select +Edit Locations+. Then click the plus sign to create a new location. Set up that new location.
On System Preferences Network pane, AirPort should appear at the top of the list (in the sidebar). To change the service order, click on the gear icon and select +Set Service Order+.
Some additional tests you can try, on top of seeing if it works with (1) WEP security disabled and (2) a direct wired connection to the router.
If you get it to work with either (1) or (2), be sure to run Software Update at least two times to apply any recent updates from Apple. See if that makes any difference to using AirPort with WEP back on.
(3) Start up in Safe Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455
I don't know if any third-party software has been installed on the iMac at this point, but Safe Mode will start up with only the essential Apple extensions and processes running. See if it works any better in Safe Mode.
(4) Create a new admin user account in System Preferences Accounts pane
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8235.html
Log out and log in to the new account. Try connecting with AirPort in the new account.
(5) Connect the MacBook Pro to the router with a wired Ethernet connection. Make sure its Internet access works. On System Preferences Sharing pane, set it up for +Internet Sharing+ so that it is set to +Share your connection from Ethernet - To computers using AirPort+. On the iMac, try to connect to that wireless network and access the Internet.
That last one (5) may be a good one to try first. It would at least show that the iMac's AirPort is working - you can even set it up to use WEP. If you have any questions about using the +Internal Sharing+ feature, please ask.

Iphone wont connect to itunes but will connect to computer?

I have just purchased my iphone on the 19th May 2012 and when i plug it in to connect it to my itunes to sync it, it will connect to my computer but no matter how much i try and how much i do what the troubleshooting articles tell me to do it just wont connect so i cant sync my iphone with my itunes and i would really like to be able to do this soon..how do i solve this problem?!

You either pay Apple to do it (usually you will get a replacement refurbished phone). Make sure to BACK IT UP first before taking it in. Plug into a computer that has the latest iTunes, do a sync and confirm the existence of the backup in iTunes / Preferences / Devices. If they give you a replacement, plug it back into the same computer and do a Restore to recover your stuff.
Else, DIY! i3G's are relatively easy to dismember and replace the battery. Parts and howto: http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPhone_3GS

Will Apple let you upgrade your graphics card?

Hi There
About two mouths ago i order a new 27" imac (ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics with 512MB). i mention to my concerns about the graphic card inside the imac but at the time i could do anything about it, its was the best i could get. What i would like to know is will Apple let people upgrade there graphics cards from the old 4850 512mb to the new 5750 1GB...
Thanks

Actually the video card in the 27" iMac is not soldered on. But Apple does not support changing the video card, and the card in the new iMacs probably would not work in the previous model, so in essence your comment is correct.
Johnny, if makes you feel any better, this benchmark indicates that the 5750 doesn't significantly outperform the 4850. So you probably wouldn't see much benefit even if you could upgrade.
Regards.
