Another thing. I think we should always remember to put in the the source for images and photos that is uploaded and make sure we have permission to use those. Will keep us from getting into trouble later. :p

I have a new MacBook Pro on the way, and I want to make sure I get it set up correctly.
On my iMac, I only have an Admin account. I've been told this is the wrong way to go, I should be using a User account.
When I first turn on the MBP, what is the correct order of steps I need to take to make a User account? Don't I have to make an Admin account first, to create a User account?
(If I remember from my iMac, it asks for my name, and .mac ID or whatever. Thats the reason why I don't have a User account, my info is already used by the Admin account.)
For 99.9% of the time, I will be the sole user of the MBP (as I am for my iMac). For they other .1% they can use the guest account.
Then in the same vein of questioning, is there a way to "downgrade" my current Admin account on my iMac to a User account?

The 2004 version (with iPod added) 480x360 is on archive.org:

Further research shows there are 640x480 versions of the original 1984 but they prove elusive. :(

They did bring back the Sony Walkman and it was DOA. Lots of models with no one wanting to buy them. It was a big strategy for them. Sony doesn't know how to market things anymore. Actually, Sony doesn't know how to design things anymore either.

Sony can't even protect their successful products anymore. Look at the upcoming disaster with the PS3 and LG.
Never wanted a Zune, but having one less music player would lessen the competition a bit.

QuickTime now 64-bit!!!
Even more of a reason to get the new MBP:D
Hmm, I wonder what the point of 64bit quicktime is. The notes did say that 64 bit mode has more registers available... that doesn't necessarily mean speed improvement if quicktime is moving a lot of data around (which it is).
But I guess everything is slowly going to move towards 64 bit.

Hello there!
I set up a mac mini server for my little company a few months ago and I find it to be overkill for the simple tasks I use it for. Originally I planned to setup a web hosting service, an email server and a wiki but our needs didn't grow as I expected and we found simpler alternatives.
Anyway, I am now thinking about selling it but I was wondering if it was simple to transfer the Mac OS X Server license. I can't seem to find info online on how to do this and I don't want to sell a product which won't easily be usable.
Any tips on doing this?
Thanks!

are you using version 1 or version 1.0.1 of cablevision app?
Coleman and others - this temp sync will work and as a side benefit you won't be able to update in itunes :) I tried it few times with my friend and shared app works just fine. Only issue I see is CV closing this hole by disabling older version of software from accessing the network. until that happens your idea will work
Forgot one thing. There is no need to drive or go anywhere. This can be done remotely via teamviewer application. Its free and works fast.

I have been waiting for a major upgrade to the cinema displays since I got my laptop in June 2006 - since waiting like the rest of you.
I wonder if eventually the iMac will be thinner than the current cinema displays, then they will have to upgrade.
To be honest, it doesn't need to be a major upgrade, take the price down by a third and half the thickness of the screen and I would be happy.
One day my friends...one day :confused:
Actually, the new Aluminum iMacs are skinnier than the current ACDs.

Hello -
I am using iMovie 11 and have searched for an answer with no luck.
I have a scene where 2 people are talking and one talks over the other. I'd like the ability to remove one of the voice at a point in time.
Appreciate the help in advance.

Thanks for the answer above. I do use a lot of things where I need to use my software for business related tasks.
I am torn. Don't know whether to give up Numbers without a fight.
Where can I get MS Office for Mac?

oh ya, could someone explain what they mean by "gapless playback"?
On CDs (or any other physical recording) sometimes artists have one song run right into another - you know it's changed because you're familiar with it or you happen to look up at the CD track counter and see it go from 3 to 4 but the music hasn't stopped. Digital tracks had a bad side effect of putting a break between tracks. Gapless apparently knows when the original recording intended no gap and then replicates that on the iPod / iTunes replay. This breakthrough also available on cassette tape. :rolleyes:

I dunno. I tried to add something to the wiki and it didn't work right so I got scared and deleted what I added. I'm just gonna stick to editing wikis and not starting new topics.
Hey.... someone put up a page titled "Arport Extreme" and I moved it to "Airport Extreme." Looks like it automatically redirects. So we could do the same thing with "The Dock" and "The Trash," no?
EDIT: Okay, fixed "Dock", "Trash", and all the pages linking to them.

I'm so happy I sold my copy of VPC on eBay a couple weeks ago :D
I've been using Parallels with Win XP for a brief time, but it already appears to be far more stable and responsive than VPC ever was, even under Classic (it really had problems moving to OS X). I really don't blame Microsoft though for killing it, the product was inherently inferior to the latest offerings on the market, with little to no chance of ever catching up.

I am a television news story producer.
I tend to be editing video projects on my Powerbook, however I have run into a little bit of a snag and that is that I can not always leave my Powerbook "open" while it is rendering as I need to run to a series of meetings throughout the day.
Is it possible to set some option somewhere that will prevent my Powerbook from going to sleep?
It would sure make my life a whole lot easier, rather than needing to pause a render, close my PB, walk down the hall for a meeting, pop it back open, restart the render, open Pages and start taking notes.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
The PowerBook can be made to run whilst closed, mainly in cases of running it with external kb,mouse and display. However you shouldn't need to pause a render when you close the lid, it should just stop and kick off again when you open the lid.

I guess this is good of a thread as any to ask..
I have more than generalist and less than master knowledge of print and video production. I work for a university and have a multimedia development position... I preface with "work for a university" because I have one of those jobs where it is more beneficial to have very broad ranging knowledge of most production technologies (for web, for video, for print) than having very specific knowledge.
i.e. one day I am developing a Flash application, the next I am working in After Effects or Motion, the next day I have Photoshop or Illustrator up. Anyway...
Part of my job is running a multimedia lab which is available to the campus staff, faculty and students to do production work. A mix of Mac Pros and Power Mac G5s with 23" ACDs. My question is two fold:
To video folks: For those of you working with motion graphics, particularly in HD (lets just say 1080p to be safe), do you find the response time on the ACDs to be sufficient for working with HD content? How about full screen HD playback?
Also, I'm considering getting a 17" MBP (soon, I'd like to wait for a refresh but the money isn't coming out of my personal coffers); what is your feeling about it pumping out HD content to a 30" ACD? The ACD would actually be for home use with the MBP. How does it perform pushing HD content?
Thank you kindly!

are cell phones not working across all the country ?
I did say that.
Most of the system was overloaded with calls, every time we tried it was a pre-recorded "system busy" message (Tokyo area).
We had much better success at using Skype and Yahoo to talk to friends the traditional phones/cell phones.
Of course areas directly in tsunami area would have neither, because it was all simply destroyed.
