No camera on the iPad and you don't have multiple exposures from the iPhone to transfer to the iPad. Was it just a mistake or hint of new iPad?

Updates for older Apple TVs?
|
|
|
|
|
I have an email into Apple PR
|
|
|
|
|
ArsTechnica said they were told no, and that older Apple TVs would continue to operate as they have with rental and purchases remaining the same?

|
|
iPod Classic is still with us, but unchanged in design, features or price.
|
|
|
|
|
Clicky mic+control headphones work with all devices, but not standard. Have to buy them for $29 bucks. Obviously mic doesn't do anything on the Shuffle.

Pathfinder 5
|
|
|
|
|
We spend so much of our time on file and folder management. Shouldn't it be the best most full featured app on our system?
|
|
|
|
|
The Finder very often falls short
|
|
|
|
|
Features like tabs, split window browsing are just handy
|
|
|
|
|
Easier to use and understand permissions
|
|
|
|
|
Easy to view invisible files when needed.
|
|
|
|
|
I had the Finder fail to open a password protected ZIP file. Pathfinder handled it just fine.

PDF Images not viewable on iOS 4
|
|
|
|
|
Anthony was having trouble getting a PDF file to view properly in iBooks on his iPhone.
|
|
|
|
|
The strange thing was that I could view the file he sent me on my iPad, but not iPhone
|
|
|
|
|
Text content would load fine
|
|
|
|
|
A check of Good Reader support mentions that newer versions of the iOS don't support PDFs with images compressed using the JPEG 2000 format.
|
|
|
|
|
Good Reader says all you should have to do is open the image in Preview and do a Save As... to get an iOS compatible file.
|
|
|
|
|
Didn't work for me.
|
|
|
|
|
I also couldn't find a way to change the Image Compression using Preview
|
|
|
|
|
Under Save as you can use 'Quartz Filters'
|
|
|
|
|
One is an option to 'Reduce File Size'. This actually applies JPG compression at medium quality to the images, but you can't change it.
|
|
|
|
|
Luckily you can create your own Quartz Filters, but it's not obvious how.
|
|
|
|
|
Use the ColorSync Utility. Applications-->Utilities-->ColorSync
|
|
|
|
|
Open up ColorSync Utility and switch to the “Filters” pane. This will list all of the filters that you currently have available.
|
|
|
|
|
In the lower left, click on the “+” button. This creates a new filter.
|
|
|
|
|
Give the filter a name (I called mine 'Images for iOS'), and press return.
|
|
|
|
|
To the right of the filter’s name, choose the down arrow. A menu will pop up.
|
|
|
|
|
From the pop-up menu, choose “Add Image Effects Component”, and from that menu choose “Image Compression”.
|
|
|
|
|
Adjust the image compression Mode to JPEG.
|
|
|
|
|
Adjust the image compression quality however you prefer. I went with 'Max' to preserve the best image quality. That increased the file size a bit though. You can play with this setting to find the best balance.
|
|
|
|
|
Once you have it set you can quit ColorSync Utility
|
|
|
|
|
Now open the document in Preview to save it out using your new Quartz filter:
|
|
|
|
|
In Preview choose “Save As...” from the file menu
|
|
|
|
|
In the save dialog choose format as PDF
|
|
|
|
|
For the Quartz Filter select the filter you created earlier
|
|
|
|
|
Save the file
|
|
|
|
|
Now you can sync this new file to your iDevice in iBooks, Good Reader, etc, and it should display properly.
|
|
|
|
|

Play question from Reggie
|
|
|
|
|
Additional hardware graphics cards are your best bet.
|
|
|
|
|
General rule is 1 port, 1 display.
|
|
|
|
|
Macbook only has 1 port, so 1 monitor even with "dual link" DVI which supports 30" display.
|
|
|
|
|
Older Macbook Pros with Express 34 card slots can add video adapters.
|
|
|
|
|
Mac Mini has a HDMI port and a MiniDisplay Port, so 2 monitors are possible.
|
|
|
|
|
Mac Pros have 2 Mini Display Ports and a Dual Link DVI port, so 3 displays. Add a second Video card and you get 6 displays.
|
|
|

|

Cheaper. Up to 6 displays. Mac Drivers

Lag a bit. May not be ideal for video, but Display LInk claims full-screen DVD playback over USB 2.0.

HD video import options in iMovie
|
|
|
|
|
Richard has some video he's importing from HD cameras in iMovie '08 but isn't happy with the quality. Want to know if there is something he can do to improve it.
|
|
|
|
|
A couple things might be going on here
|
|
|
|
|
1st is to check the camera settings
|
|
|
|
|
If possible record source video in progressive mode, not interlaced
|
|
|
|
|
Also see if you can do full 1280 x 1920 resolution.
|
|
|
|
|
Make sure the video is imported at "Full resolution" and not the "Large" which is the default
|
|
|
|
|
There is debate on if this is necessary or not, but if you want the highest quality then try
|
|
|
|
|
If you camcorder records 1080i video at 1440 by 1080 pixels then "Large" should be fine.
|
|
|
|
|
Your file sizes will be larger and editing might not be as smooth
|
|
|
|
|
Know your destination
|
|
|
|
|
Interlacing may be Ok if your output is for TV
|
|
|
|
|
Computers can't deal with interlacing so you get the "lines"
|
|
|
|
|
iMovie has "preview" video that is used when editing
|
|
|
|
|
If you have 1080i video, use the 720p export option (HD) option
|
|
|
|
|
Share-->Export Movie… and choose HD (1280 x 720)
|
|
|
|
|
If you want higher than 720p export and you have 1080i video you'll have to de-interlace yourself
|
|
|
|
|
Basically
|
|
|
|
|
Import video at full size
|
|
|
|
|
Edit
|
|
|
|
|
Export using Quicktime and the Apple Intermediate Codec”, at the full res (1920×1080). This will make a giant file (1GB per minute)
|
|
|
|
|
De-interlace the file with JES Deinterlacer
|
|
|
|
|
Do final compression and export with Quicktime Pro 7
