I own an 8 gig iPhone but prefer to take notes using a digital pen. Never have used one and would like to know which is the *BEST* one for OS X? I heard that the Logitech IO2 Digital Pen is only supported for Windoze platforms (WinXP and Windows Vista). Also heard that Pen-It is supported for OS X. What I am looking for is a digital pen which enables this: Lets me draw diagrams in my own handwriting. Allows me to take notes. Converts whatever I drew or whatever note I took into a digital format on my computer. My primary platform is OS X. But I would prefer to use one which perhaps supported both (OSX & Windoze). Question(s): 1. What would I use to write / draw on? 2. Is it a specialized note pad? 3. And lastly, where can I buy it?
Is there a digital pen that is compatible with OS X? I'm looking for something similar to Logitech's version, but not Wacom. I already have a Graphire3 and I don't like it. I'd like to be able to write on any type of paper and then have it digitized into Word on my PowerBook so I can have copies of my notes and I can search through them with Spotlight.
Upgraded to 10.5.3 and suddenly my digital out is no longer working. It'll play fine out of the internal speakers, but nothing at all coming from the digital optical out. Any chance someone with an older Mac Pro could test their digital out for sound?
1) Is the Western Digital 1TB RE3 3.5 HD recommended for the 8 Core MP? Or am I better of sticking to the WD 1TB Black Caviar? 2) When ordering my HDD do I also need the cables? Or do I just need to order the drive as it is?
Anyone see this or use it before? [URL:...] It's going for $59.95 right now for the holidays with this link; [URL:...] Sounds like a great deal if it's as good as or better than the Elgato eyeTV.
I have a dual 1.42 PPC 2MB L3cpp 2GB DDR SDRAM G4 tower, with two additional dual-250's HDD. I have been looking online for a while now checking out what would work best for converting VHS on to this system. my goal is to convert, do some small editing, and then archive it on my external in either .avi or .mp4 formats. I have read in the other forums that using a DV cam is best, but they are usually talking about using it with iMovie or another newer editing program that won't work on my OS so what should work best? firewire?USB 2.0? one converter box? dv cam plus converter box? I have 10.4.11OS and really can not upgrade any further.
~sedna GmbH has produced a Mac based digital signage solution being distributed in North America by Activate The Space. Does anyone have any experience dealing with either of these companies? Has anyone seen or used the software?
I hate to start the subject of this post so negative but Snow Leopard is really disappointing. I have had nothing but problems since I've installed it. My computer runs a million times slower, Firefox takes forever to load pages that once loaded in a snap. My digital camera doesn't sync anymore.
Basically im turning my room into more of a home cinema, and was looking to use my laptop to play movies into a TV, and sound through a surround sound. I was simply going to use a mini toslink to optical adapter which would plug into an av reciever. I was just wondering who else does this, and what is it like? Is the audio quality okay? Can it sustain high volumes? had any troubles? what does it use, DTS or something?
Given inability to receive digital signals for my digital tv (tree & topography issues), is it possible to use my digital TV with a mac and DSL line to receive programs via Hulu or other web-based service? TV is Sylvania LCD model 6626LCT.
how I can transmit what's on my computer sceen to my TV screen? I have bought a HDMI cable and mini display converter but nothing happens I just get what looks like a purplish screen saver.
I am wanting to convert my parent's home videos from the late 80's and 90's to digital files. They are all on 8mm tapes and we still have the working Sony camcorder and AV cords. I would love to easily transfer them to my Macbook Pro where I can then edit the files and put them in chronological order, (some 8mm tapes start out in 1988 then jump to 1997 then back to 1993..).The only thing I have found is the Pinnacle video recorder, but I'm not sure if it's compatible with Macs and it looks like really outdated software.
I am in the market for a digital SLR at a decent price - not wanting entry-level as such but don't need to pay big-bucks for a pro model.
Basically it is for two purposes:
1) Getting started in Digital SLR photography
2) Photography buildings and architecture on an upcoming trip to the Middle East.
So, a couple of friends who know about this have recommended the Nikon D40 - I have seen this model and priced it and it looks a good deal.
My main question is that it is around 6 MP - I have heard many pros and cons re this...is it a problem? Is this camera the best in its price-range or are there any other suggestions?
We got (by mistake) a kid's digital camera (MiCam Junior) that only advertises itself as being compatible with Windows, and which uses some (supplied) Windows software to download the pictures...
At first I thought it was no big deal because most (real) cameras don't need special software but just behave pretty much like an external drive.
But for some reason, this one doesn't - it is not picked up by iPhoto or Image Capture...
I have no SD card drive, I just have a Canon Powershot camera that uses an SD card for storage and connects to the computer via USB, so I was wondering, is there any technique or program out there that would allow me to load files from the computer onto the SD card through the camera's USB? Or are those typically locked as a one way street?
I have a WD External HDD. Everytime it goes to sleep it disappears from my Finder in OSX and then I have to turn the power off on the HDD and turn the power back on for it to reappear in my OSX. It's rather annoying - in Windows it just stays there and you click on the icon and it will wake up. Is there any way to force OSX to search for the HDD or something and not delete it every time it goes to sleep?
I have an older Yamaha receiver (RX 596) that has no optical audio in, only traditional RCA inputs. I tried using a 3.5 mm mini audio to RCA adapter that would transfer my headphone output to the CD or AUX input on the receiver. Of course the audio was crap, lots of humming and low volume level.
I also have a Canopus ADVC 110 digitizer. Can I input digital audio from the MP to the ADVC 110 with an optical to RCA converter, and then output the analog audio from the ADVC 110 with RCA cables to the RCA inputs on the Yamaha? Suggestions please for the easiest/cheapest way to get quality audio out of my MP and cleanly into my receiver.
I have had an EyeTV 250 for a few years now and have upgraded to digital TV for obvious purposes. I got a set top box because it was much cheaper than a new EyeTV. However, there is no option to make the set top box an option? Any type of plugin. I am using version 2 of Eyetv software. Do I have to update to version 3?
My Digital Audio Power Mac G4 is running at 800 MHz with the 1MB L3 cache but I saw on a website that's it's possible to clock it up more. I have a pretty powerful non-OEM cooling fan on the processor heatsink. I have a resistor in the R5 position so it does run at 800 MHz but I want to get it up to 867 and the site shows that it needs the "jumper set" at R5 and R1 so does that mean I can just leave the existing R5 resistor where it is and just melt a little trace of solder over the R1 to connect the two R1 ends together?
I got an old G4 Digital Audio as home server / seedbox, and recently i got fed up with the horrible noise and as a first step i replaced the 120 mm fan with a new and quiet one, and it is working perfectly. However, when i replaced it i noticed that the CPU fan is now the loudest, and a computer that is on 24/7 can never be too quiet.
Can i replace the CPU fan with any fan of the right size?
Are there any requirements regarding fan speed/air throughput?
Do i have to connect the fan to the non-standard two pin connection where the original fan was connected or can i just use a normal 3 to 4 converter and connect it to the spare 4 pin power outlet?
I'm looking for a program where I can take pictures with my digital camera and see them on the mac exact the same time I took the picture (plugged in via usb)
I recently bought an eMac and it is the first mac that i've ever owned so I am not completely familier yet on what to do to make everything work. My problem - I have a digital camera that has the ability to take video. When I plug the camera into the computer iPhoto recognizes the pictures but neither iPhoto or iMovie recognize the video. It there a way to make this work so I can upload the videos to my computer? I know the videos can be moved to computers for I have done it on my pc.
I've never had problems with this digital camera under Leopard, but now under Snow Leopard, when plugged in, iPhoto is opened but nothing happens at all. Nothing in finder. Is it possible that this camera is no more supported? I tried to look for new drivers, but drivers are available only up to MacOSX 10.5. Is there anything I can do? (camera is HP Photosmart R818)
I have a box of rapidly degrading VHS tapes that i'd like to preserve thru digitizing. i've heard of external converters that you can buy that'll let you do it on your own instead of paying a lot for someone else to do it.
wanted to know if anyone has tried using the digital input on the mic for recording. As most of you know the Macbook pro has digital out/in. [URL] I peeked inside the mic hole and there is a diode or some sort just like the output. I have a digital out from another source running into it, so how do you actually pick it up and record it to a file?
