Hİ,

Thanks Tom for the repsonse, appreciate it
I'm going to wait to buy FCP X until an update becasue I really feel if it is an issue, Apple will address that
(I've lost "saves" in FCP 7 also, not often at all, but it has happened - so this issue may not be as bad or as large as it appears if you do a comparison)

Scanning options, 8bit grayscale vs 24bit color, psd vs jpg, experience and opinions sought

I have an Epson Scanner, PSE5 and want to scan about 100 8x10 sheets (multiple photos per sheet) from a 50 yr old photo album. photos are yellowed, and in future I want to be able to crop/select some of the small photos on the sheets. Few questions, I'd like to get advice from those more experienced:
Resolution, file format
I've scanned at 2400 dpi and 1200 dpi - I can notice slight difference when working with the small pictures so my preference is to go 2400 but the storage size for the 8x10 sheet is 1.5gb when saved as tiff or psd. When I save as jpg max quality (500k) I cannot tell difference even when looking at 100% or enlarging - no pixelation. So, I'm thinking I'll have better quality scanning at 2400 and saving as jpg (500k) vs. scanning at 1200 and saving as psd or tiff (385mb). Do you agree?
Scanning 24bit color vs. grayscale
For some photo projects I like having the colored pictures which I get if I scan 24bit color. Others I want the grayscale which removes the color. I could scan twice but that has obvious disadvantages (time and storage). I know I can use PSE to add yellow to grayscale scan or to remove yellow from color scan. Does anyone have an opinion, if I want to scan once, am I better off 24bit color or grayscale?
Is answer/advice any difference if I'm scanning 8 bit grayscale vs 24bit color - scanning in 16 bit grayscale has lots of limiations editing and saving (jpg isn't available). Am I losing alot of by scanning in 8bit grayscale vs. 24bit color. I haven't tested print quality but on screen I don't notice the difference even at 100%. Opinions of whether I'm better 8 bit grayscale vs 24 bit color for these yellowed black and white pictures?
Anything else I should be thinking about for this type of project?
thanks!

If these are full size images, you really don't need to go above 300 ppi. I would save as TIFF or PSD unless you have a compelling reason for not doing so. JPEG applies compression every time you save and close the image, so you'll want to convert to another format for working anyway, and storage is cheap now. (There's a difference between ppi and dpi, although scanner makers ignore it. You want the highest possible dpi when printing, but the human eye cannot distinguish much difference when you go above 300 ppi. If you want to make extra sure, go to 600, but that's not going to provide more useful information to a printer, really. Mostly just a much larger file size.)
I would also scan in color. When you scan in greyscale you are saving much less information, and you might want that someday.

I recently become an ACMT and in one of the documentaions they state that you get a certificate: "Display your personalized certificate and a logo that distinguishes you as an Apple Certified professional." How do I get this certificate to display?

I became an ACMT not too long ago, but never received my certificate with my name on it. Is there a way that I can get that certificate still?

Your heat experiences with the MBP 13 2012

Looking to buy a new machine, actually I already picked one, I'm going for a MPB 13.3inch i7 (2012).
Even though, I read a lot of people saying around the internet, that this machine tends to heat a LOT.
I want to know your personal experience with the mbp13 (2012 please, i7 experience would be even better). All kind of people welcome to share, from web-browsing like facebook, to word processing and even video edition or gamers (if you managed to play something on this ).

Good, because I have the Mid 2012 MacBook Pro 13-inch Non-Retina. I would say this computer really doesn't get hot at all. With your average Internet browsing with nothing else opened this computer is relatively cool and the fan is quiet. If you have multiple applications opened such as Safari, iTunes, Notes, and iPhoto for example, it gets a little warm but the fan is still just as quiet. Now video editing/gaming. When I am editing a YouTube video or playing a game (depending on how graphic intensive/big the game is) alone with nothing else opened, the computer gets fairly warm and the fan is louder. Now if I am editing a video/gaming and have other applications opened the fan can get really loud and the computer can get really hot. When I say 'really hot' I mean REALLY hot, because this is made out of aluminum the outside surface of the MacBook Pro can get even more hot then the inside. Keep in mind that the heat is different depending on what surface I'm on because on my pants, bed, couch, etc. it would be hotter but on a table it would be substantially cooler.
Hope this helps,

Stay away from BT - my personal experience

Hi,
My name is Rubens Kubiak, joined BT on 22nd March. So far, BT has been the worst ISP I've ever seen - by far.
I placed the order through phone.... decided about the broadband package and landline calling plan, perfect.
A few days later, I called BT to inform that the starter package should be delivered in my office, as I would be away from home (where the broadband would be installed). I received a phone call and an email confirming the change, and the package would be delivered then to my office address.
What a surprise? Nothing arrived in my office. They tried to deliver it.... at my home. Unbelievable, with all the planning beforehand, phone calls and e-mails and confirmations. A really bad start.
I just managed to get the package in the Post Office by saturday (23rd). Installed and everything was working fine.... for about one hour. Then... got disconnected. About three minutes, no internet. Then, since 23rd March, every single day I got disconnected about 10 times a day. It lasts about 2 or 3 minutes, but is really annoying for a service that is not cheap and should work smoothly. Now the best part. Try to call BT. Try to reach the technical support. IT IS A JOKE. During the day, takes about 30 minutes (if you're veeery lucky) to speak to a human being. Today I waited 1h40min.... with no answer at all.
Well.... P2P connections (torrent, etc) are also highly controlled by BT, and is practically impossible to download a file. The speeds are really low. Fine, I agree with the policy, so everybody can have a good connection. But nobody tells you that when you're purchasing the broadband via phone. Even when you tell the operator that you want a complete and unlimited package because you download too much. They should have been decent and tell the facts straight away! They should have explained me that.... don't you think BT?
Now, speaking with the tech support.... they told me that's normal during the first two weeks or twenty days the connection being unstable..... it's a period of stabilisation. Period of stabilization? When purchasing the package through phone, nobody ever alerted me about this facts. They told me now, that I'm facing the problem. Not good, BT.
Now they told me to wait until 5th or 6th of April to see if the problem is solved. What is that? I'm paying for a product...... that nobody told me would be unstable for a while..... and why on earth should I be patient?
I hate things like this..... loads of excuses.
I purchased a product, and I'm not happy at all...... delivery was a joke, the seller hid important facts about the service, and now the best part: trying to explain I'm not happy at all, and want to cancel the whole stuff. I've been a customer for 5 days..... and just want to ship the equipment back, pay for the month I've used and forget about BT.
But..... mo make me feeling like a clown, BT wants to charge me THREE HUNDRED SIXTY SOMETHING for cancelling the service.... as contract cancellation fee.
C'mon BT. You guys should be ashamed! Anyway.... BT is not authorized anymore in my bank account. I'll pay for the installation, for the service I've used.... but I'm not going to pay any kind of cancellation charge.
It's been less than a week I'm a customer..... and already a unhappy one. I just want to forget BT and go for another ISP.
Well... that's my personal experience, and my personal thoughts....sorry about being rude sometimes.... but BT is driving me crazy here!
I'm moving away from BT by the end of the month, maximum....... anyone experiencing the same problem????

Hi rubenskc
I can understand that you are annoyed about the delivery and if you didnt know about the stabiisation period.
The stabilisation period really should have been explained on the call, but as others have posted, its an important part of activation in order to get the best speed from your line.
Best to leave the hub alone to do its thing and dont be tempted to reset. Have you noticed any improvements since it was activated?
Thx
Craig

Is there a way to open Firefox and have your persona the enitre background when your home is set to a blank page instead of just a blank white page

The background normally as you know on a blank page is white and your persona is visible only at the top section of the window; im curious to know if you can change this to where your persona is visible on the entire window instead of just the top section.

Personas seems to me to be a let down. What good is a thin strip of picture at the top of the page? Disappointing.

How can you make your persona show on the top and bottom? Also can you make it bigger at the top to show more of the picture?

Add extra empty toolbars if you want to see more of the persona.<br />
You can create extra toolbars to get extra space via View > Toolbars > Customize<br />
You have to put something on a toolbar (drag a Space item onto it) before closing the Customize window because empty toolbars are automatically removed.<br />

I get the message "an error occurred while loading your favorite themes" and my persona rotator won't work. Please help?

I usually use the Persona Rotator using My Favorites as its themes to rotate. Lastely my rotater has not been working. I click on Tools, then Personas, then My Favorites and am asked to sign in to use my favorites with the Rotator. I follow all these steps and all seems to go fine, except my Persona Rotator does not rotate. Again I click on Tools, Personas, My Favorites and there is a message saying "an error occurred while loading your favorite themes" and therefore won't work. I don't know what the problem is or even exactly when it started, but it doesn't work and I'm most disappointed. Please fix or help me to fix it so I can enjoy my rotating themes again.

In order to switch to another persona that you had previously installed, do the following:
#Go to ''Tools'' and click ''Add-ons'' (or click the Firefox button at the top left and click ''Add-ons'').
#Switch to the ''Appearance'' tab. You should find your previously used personas in the list.
#Find the one you want to use and click the ''Enable'' button.
To uninstall the other ones you can click the ''Remove'' button on them and they'll be uninstalled instantly.

WATCH OUT!!!! Hoax email from Itunes store floating around... it is pretty badly worded bu this is an attempt to get your credit card and other personal detail. Check to see if the email is from itunes before you open anything

There is an email going around telling you you have credit or an offer for credit from itunes. It is a hoax.... as soon as you open it and action it your personal and credit information has been given to the scum that sent it out. Look at who the email is from by checking the actual address not just the summary that comes up... This has been going around Facebook for a while and now these crooks have moved to itunes... BE CAREFUL!!!!

Yoor post is very confusing. AOL's iPad magazine is called "Editions" and it's free. "The Daily" is put out by TheDailyHolding and is owned by Rupert Murdoch. You've already posted in another thread where the solution was given. Other people seem to have manged to get unsubscribed.
Best of luck.

Everytime I open Firefox - it takes a really long time and reopens the Firefox Update tab that says "Choose your Persona" and "More ways to Personalize" tab along with my regular home page tab. Sometimes it tries to load the add ons too and takes a reall

Every time I open Firefox it tries to install the same updates (that I don't want) and the Firefox 3.6 "Choose Your Persona" etc. tab opens along with my home page tab. It takes a really long time to get onto Firefox because of these problems.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Don't remember

Well, this worked on my desktop! But my problem is on my laptop. :-) I'm running XP, but there was no "Username" under Documents and Settings under the C drive. I did a search for those file names and it wasn't there. I found Mozilla Firefox folder under: C\Documents and Settings\ All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Mozilla Firefox. There are 2 - 1 is Mozilla Firefox (shortcut) and the other is Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode). I did a Mozilla Firefox search and this is all that showed up.
When I click on the shortcut link (the 1st one), it opens up 2 screens of Firefox. One is the "this is embarrassing" screen. The other is "Choose your Persona" screen. I closed it and reopened and it took me to my home page.
