Workflow Help/Suggestions

Just picked up an iPad and I'm really enjoying it so far. However, I am looking for a few suggestions on general workflow etc. A little bit of background- I have both Mac and PC (10.4.11 & win 7/XP) and an Android phone. Moving files such as movies, music, and pictures to and to/from my Android phone is a fairly straight forward process. I can pretty much do everything I need over my home network without having to connect to a computer locally.
What I am looking for are common practices for doing these types of things with an iPad. I am familiar with many operating systems, but this is my first experience with iOS. Any suggestions on apps or general workflow is what I am looking for.
Thanks in advance!

HI and welcome.....
I have both Mac and PC (10.4.11
I hope you are aware that the minimum system requirements for the iPad (Mac) is Leopard v10.5 as noted here.

  • Help / suggestions with multiple apple id's

    I would like to give a scenario and hopefully get some advice / help / suggestions on how best to approach this:
    We are an Academy in the UK with over 700 students on roll ranging from 14 to 18 years old.  Each student has an iPad mini.  Not all students have their own Apple ID.  The Academy is very diverse and we have many students coming and going throughout the year as well as new intake of students each year.  iPads can change hands a number of times.
    Bearing in mind that one can only activate an ID only 3 times per device, and that an Apple ID can only have 10 devices associated with it, what is the recommendation in terms of getting students up and running with a device and Apple ID?
    Here's my reason for asking:  We have a number of iPad Minis which can no longer be used because the limit of 3 ID's have been used on those devices.  As mentioned, a lot of our students do not already have an Apple ID and so will create one when they are given their iPad.  This only has to happen three times and we effectively have a very expensive coffee coaster!
    Open to any help and advice.  Many thanks in advance!

    more to it than that
    pitty you can't use it
    I assume these are institution owned devices and not user owned
    I've never heard of this 3 strikes and your out scenario, if that was the case you wouldn't be able to sell ios devices second hand, unless I'm miss understanding what your describing
    Sounds like the devices have not released properly from iCloud, find my phone
    and iOS 7 activation lock is on
    if you don't know that iTunes account and password you can't do anything with the device
    you'll have to prove to apple you own it or track down the iTunes account owner it's locked with

  • Just updated my iPhone 4 from IOS 6.1.3 to 7.1.2, I know I am behind the times, but I got there eventually! All seems well but I have one specific problem and hope someone can offer a helpful suggestion.

    Just updated my iPhone 4 from IOS 6.1.3 to 7.1.2, I know I am behind the times, but I got there eventually! All seems well but I have one specific problem and hope someone can offer a helpful suggestion.
    On opening the app "Find my iPhone" I add my password and sign in, to be greeted with a screen that says;
    "Update Find My iPhone. A new version of Find My iPhone is available from the App. Store. You must install the update to continue using the app. Update now"
    On hitting the "Update now" button I'm taken to the relevant page on the App Store, to be told that I cannot update as it needs IOS8 to be able to continue and as my iPhone is only a 4 cannot install IOS8.
    I'm left going around in circles. The only thing would be to delete the app, but looks like I could not re-install the version I would need. Any body have any thoughts or suggestions? (Apart from updating my phone, I have a few months left on the contract!)
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I have tried as you suggested, and when opening the "purchased" apps some have the icloud logo next to them, but I only have "OPEN" against "Find My iPhone". When opening it up, it goes through the same routine; needs to be updated before proceeding, and wouldn't update because I don't have IOS8.
    Anything else I could try, or am I doomed!
    All of your help is much appreciated, thanks

  • Cannot open PDF files online with Firefox 4, help suggests foxit but don't know what that is?

    Earlier versions of Firefox allowed me to open PDF files online, without downloading. Firefox 4 does not allow me to open and read PDF files online, but requires downloading to computer.
    Help suggest altering settings in FOXIT READER, manually, but I don't know how to access Foxit reader, if I have it.
    Can I alter settings in Firefox 4, or do I have to go back to earlier version.
    Thanks

    I was under the impression Foxit was a pdf viewer rather than an addon for Firefox, but maybe there is more than one application with a similar name.
    I did not notice mention of foxit in the help, but add-ons are not always mentioned.

  • Email alias use - help suggestion doesn't work

    When sending mail from my .Mac account (via Safari), I can use either my main account or one of two aliases as the "From". When in Mail (2.1.1), I can only use the main account (the aliases don't show up) - tried the action button help, but it's already checked.
    I recently upgraded from an older Mac. Thouht I had copied everything, but something got messed up as this did work on the old Mac. Tried the Help suggestion, "Get Prefs, put alias names in Account Info Name Fiekd, etc" - didn't work. Went back to old Mac to get com.apple.mail.plist file, but it isn't there. Any ideas?? Suggestions appreciated.
    Thanks, HNick

    Create a new account in Mail for each alias: enter garbage in the POP details (different for each one), but the correct details for SMTP, and give the alias as the address. Make sure that in the 'Advanced' tab, 'Include when automatically checking for new mail' is not checked but that 'Enable this account' is. You may find it better to send using the ISP you are connected to the new with rather thann .Mac.
    Now the aliases will appear in the drop-down.

  • Workflow Help! HD, SD same sequence??

    |My question, can i do the edit on a 1920 X 1080 dvpal timeline, and then before export change it to prores, re-render and export??. will i lose any quality? or should i cut it all in a prores sequence. just render times are very long for the comps, filters im using etc.
    any workflow help would be awesome!!
    cheers

    can i do the edit on a 1920 X 1080 dvpal timeline and then before export change it to prores, re-render and export??
    No. DV is not 1920x1080. It is 720x576.
    will i lose any quality?
    Yes...if you use those settings. Well, if FCP even lets you.
    or should i cut it all in a prores sequence
    Yes....cut in a ProRes sequence.

  • Just bought an AirPort Extreme, in need for some help/suggestions.

    Hello all.
    Just purchased an AirPort Extreme today, very excited about it as my old router was getting worse and worse.
    Just finished setting up the basics of the extreme right now, set up the network name, password, and all that.
    I obviously know this is a DualBand router, and want to take advantage of it!
    I have two main questions...
    1.  How do I exactly set up the "two" different networks?
    2.  I wanted help/suggestions on what devices I should connect to what network to get the best performance out of it.
    My list of devices in the household:
    - 2012 iMac
      - (2) 2008 Unibody MacBook's.
      - iPad
      - A few iPhones
      - Apple TV
      - PS3
    Most of the time we have two of the Mac's running at the same time, as well as a few iPhones connected based on who's home or not.
    For my Apple TV and PS3, I love to get the best performance possible... Therefore I usually have those running a wired connection to the router.
    Any kind of help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    I'm pretty computer friendly, just want to know the best ideas for the best performance!
    Thanks again.

    1.  How do I exactly set up the "two" different networks?
    Do exactly nothing. By default, both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands are already broadcasting a signal with the same wireless network name.
    2.  I wanted help/suggestions on what devices I should connect to what network to get the best performance out of it.
    Do exactly nothing. Wireless devices will automatically connect to the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band based on their capabilities (an older iPhone cannot connect to 5 GHz, for example)...and...the relative distance between the wireless device and AirPort Extreme.
    If you have newer devices that are capable of connecting using 5 GHz, they will connect at that frequency if they are in the same room or close proximity to the AirPort Extreme.  If you walk your laptop a few rooms away, it will probably connect to 2.4 GHz, since those signals are much stronger than 5 GHz signals.
    The point is, you do not need to be concerned about this. Devices connect to the best signal quality automatically.

  • Infinity range extending/boosting. Help/suggestion...

    Just had infinity installed with a home hub 4 and all seems to be ok. However the range at one end of my house is not great (where I am most!) and have a few dropouts and or slow speed. I just wondered what people's experience and solutions are for range extending. I would consider those extenders that go through electrical wiring circuit. Have people used these? Are they any good? Can you plug the ethernet from your modem into one and move the home hub 4 more central and plug that into the out one? Has anyone used any wireless ones?
    I used to have virginmedia and used my apple time capsule as a router and and airport express to extend the range, but I don't see that these apple products can be used with anything non Apple?
    I have tried plugging the Ethernet in the back of my time capsule from the BT modem and by-passing the home hub 4, but this does not appear to work either.
    As I say just wondered what people experience is with boosting the range and how they have gone about it and what works well.
    Thanks for any help/suggestions

  • Firefox hangs after a few minutes and freezes whole system -- tried all the help suggestions already

    I just updated to the latest version of Firefox and now it hangs after a few minutes of use (maybe when using Facebook)...I tried all of the existing help suggestions and none of them worked. Once it hangs, I can no longer use my machine as it freezes everything. I have to shut down...and even that takes forever to happen. :(

    Hello cswatson,
    Try clearing your Java cache, and History.
    If you're not sure how to do that go here. --> [http://www.java.com/en/download/help/plugin_cache.xml I'm a Link].
    If you still have problems, and are running a 64 bit processor you may want to install Waterfox instead of Firefox. On the case that you are running a 32 bit operating system do not install Waterfox. However, if you are running a 64 bit operating system you may want to install Waterfox. If you do install you should update your plugins on the Waterfox Download page below.

  • PP 6.0 on Mid 2011 iMac.   Helpful Suggestions, please?

    Hey All,
    New here.  Used to cutting AVID but wanted to start using PP 6.0 on my iMac at home for personal and side projects.   Reading over the problems some are having with their iMacs, it's starting to look like I might be screwed, but I'm hoping there's a few solutions out there.
    My system:
    IMac, Mid 2011, 21.5.  16GB RAM,
    Graphics:  AMD Radeon HD 6770M
    storage: GTech 8 TB Thunderbolt.
    I'm running into constant crashes.  Two different projects so far. 
    1st Project is HDV footage from my old Sony camera.  Captured fine, seem to cut fine, but when I started dealing with some graphics and keying issues, PP6 would stop responding and I'd have to Force Quit out.
    2nd Project is a show reel for a friend.   I'm cutting pieces of his compositing work out of Large HD resolution AVI and MP4 files.  Basically he's grabbed copies of the films he worked on and I'm pulling clips from those.  This one crashes every 2 minutes just out of spite I think.
    I'm writing all that to find out if it's the media I'm using, or the system config, or if there's something else I'm unaware of, though I think most likely a combination.
    Again, ideally I won't be cutting a lot of HD material, or much long form, but I wanted a home editing solution that would work.  BTW.. I was running a AVID demo version with no issues.  sd
    Any helpful suggestions are appreciated!
    thanks

  • File naming issue/workflow help needed...

    I shoot weddings and am continually frustrated with A2's file naming. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated as it's killing my workflow.
    THE GOOD: I import the images with the file name I want and the metadata I want. I then edit out, deleting bad images and leaving borderline images (as outtakes) in the project while putting my selects together for the client in a smart album. I put the selects in a smart album based on their rating and keywords. The selects are not sequential, so I "select all" and make "batch change" putting them in sequence.
    THE BAD: Here is where I always encounter my first problem. Any images I have have worked on (in Photoshop) for my website now have different names. So when I export all in the album, the worked-on versions don't fit in sequentially. And some stacks have the edited image on top, and others do not.
    The other problem is when a bride places an order. I find the corresponding file and externally edit it. It now resides in the smart album with a different name than all the files around it. I put the print size in the exported version name and I have to open the dialog box for every single image and re-type the size in the custom name space. I have an order with 295 different images and it's killing me. The other problem is when the bride goes to re-order a print she has, the number on the back has no connection to the numbers on my site or the smart album.
    I find I'm going back to Photomechanic more often just to organize and name images because it actually changes the name of the file instead of "masking" it as A2 seems to do.
    Is there a way to keep A2 from doing this and how do I get the adjusted image to be the pick of the stack?
    Thanks-Kevin

    I happily paid the 20 bucks for 'A Better Finder Renamer' and was able to have it batch rename RAW files to my needs. It uses simple Boolean logic to cut or add to a file name and can read time stamps from the file.

  • Slide Presentation Workflow Help

    I need to put together a slide presentation and have not done this before.
    Can anyone help with details regarding a workflow and other items?
    1. For instance, can I gather up all my images in Aperture, move these in some manner that retains the resolution and put them in Keynote?
    2. Is there a minimum resolution for images looking good for projection on a screen?
    3. Is there a way to see this in some manner as an "actual size" or otherwise check this globally?
    4. Is there a way to manually do a slideshow in Aperture instead of Keynote?
    Any other technical help would be greatly appreciated.
    I will be working on my MacPro where my Aperture Library resides but I will be presenting on the MacBookPro laptop.
    Also, I am new to Mac.
    Thanks,
    Jon

    Hi Neil.
    The images are in all sorts of formats I would imagine. They are probably in psd, jpeg, tiff, png and other formats.
    I was mentioning png because my understanding is that along with tiff it is a lossless format. This is good for saving images that you are editing (which I may do in this case). Perhaps I am mistaken here but this is the reason for the post.
    The guy that is handling this is new in his job. So, I am trying to make sure I get this correct.
    I am not sure about the question about a second macbook (perhaps I have confused you somewhere)? I have a MacPro (this is what I am working on because the APERTURE DATABASE) is on this computer. I may have to work on the presentation while on the road with the MacBookPro - but I definitely will have to give the presentation on the MacBookPro.
    My assumption is that the issue here is two-fold. 1. If I need images before, during or after the presentation I will have to do some kind of access of the other images not in the presentation by booting off an external drive with the original Aperture Database. 2. As I will be (likely) both exporting the images out of Aperture /and/ transferring a Keynote (or Aperture) presentation file to another machine - I would like to know if there are any issues to be careful about. For instance, when saving to pdf for a manually forwarded presentation - one needs to check some Preference Setting to make sure that the presentation opens in full screen, otherwise it opens in preview mode.
    1. Can you help with any of the above questions?
    2. Is it necessary for me to bring my own connection?
    3. Is it necessary for me to know the projectors aspect ration and if so for what reason?
    4. Why do you suggest looking at the images on my screen to see if there is a difference between a 10 and a 12 setting? I have a 13" screen and this comparison seems like it would not hold up when projected over 30 feet or whatever.
    Also, I don't understand your reference to "sooner or later the images are going to get cropped".
    Have we determined that you cannot do a manually forwarded presentation in Aperture?
    Thanks.
    Jon

  • Workflow help, Please??

    I'm sorry to ask this again, but perhaps my first time asking was too detailed, hence no responses :(
    What is the most effective workflow order for intricate edits?
    3 images, with details from each to be incorporated into one image.  Background color change needed/sky darker but not subject, subject color replacement/change, glows added, and highlighting of some shadowy areas.
    I have already had some super help on color replacement methods but the entire workflow is giving me fits.  Thank you for any suggestions.

    I am working on that one as we speak. Sadly my expertise is not in video, but I will share my ups and downs as soon as I have some sucess. I will try to not use Amorphasizer and see if I can do it a simple way first.
    I'll keep you posted. Thanks anyways! Ken
