When you install the application go to the preferences, for section 3 go to additional search engines option ? The Adobe results appeared as I typed the word photoshop ? Do you get the black box of results after installation ?

Your screen shot for the app. has 3 different panels:
1. for the search
1. for options
and 1. for the search engines; I don’t know how to set it up for the first panel ( with the Adobe results and information under the results)……am I missing something?

Thanks,

I haven’t bought this game yet but am thinking about it.
Wil it work on my macbook pro with Leopard 10.5.6 even though it has a 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo processor?

If you want to watch TV on your mac then any of the Elgato TV adaptors would work perfectly for you ? They can access all the current Freeview channels and the software also allows you to record TV (as well as pause etc). Check out http://www.digmo.co.uk/hardware/eyetv-250-plus-excellent/

Thanks for getting back to me. Do you know of a product that can do this?

( I’m wanting to use the Elgato as a video in to watch regular TV on my iMac.)

No, this is not possible. You can record whatever your sky box is playing but you won’t be able to watch it full screen on your imac with this version.

I want to ask a question. Can you view the Sky + video on full screen without actually recording to MP4? I’m wanting to use the Elgato as a video in to watch regular TV on my iMac.

Yeah, you can see and play on all the servers, PC or Mac. The only thing to check is which version as last time i played, my disk install was 1.5 and nearly everyone was on 1.7. The update will help you see a larger list of servers.

Apparently Modern Warfare 2 is coming out at end of this year. Wonder how long it will take to be ported to Mac. :S

This may be a really stupid question but anyway… i was wondering if playing cod4 on a mac allows you to play with other people on a pc or when in multiplayer are you only playing with people on a mac.

Thanks

Comment on HD Comes to EyeTV by John Lockwood

You have already been able to do this using the EyeTV-310 which can also pickup DVB-S and DVB-S2 signals. People have already been using this model to get FreeSAT, even ITV HD.

The only ‘news’ here is that the new EyeTV SAT being USB, will work with MacBook, and MacBook Air models that do not have any FireWire connection (the EyeTV 310 is a FireWire only device).

Unfortunately there is still no sign Elgato are going to support the non-standard EPG used by FreeSAT (which has already been cracked in the Windows world).

Comment on Navigon MobileNavigator by Vox O'Malley

I bought the Navigon a few days ago. It seems to work beautifully and the high resolution screen is a real improvement to my old Tomtom One. I’ll be interested to see what they add in terms of features – certainly more up to date maps should be a must. I did notice the iPhone being quite warm after use but it could be the fact that we are getting inordinate amounts of sunshine in Northern Ireland.

This is shaping up to be a great summer. I’m thankful I’ve moved in to a house with a satellite dish already in place. Hope it works! Elgato are the El Gateaux of mac accessories.

Ohhh – and with the satelite cable already coming in through the wall in the study right beside the Mac MIni, suddenly FreeSat is a possibility!

I was holding out for the TomTom application but with no release date in sight I bought the Navigon application earlier today. As you say it works perfectly although I have only used it to get me home from work. A happy customer, thanks for the review.

Comment on Removing Ad Breaks with EyeTV by DigMo

Elgato have a dedicated device for capture from VHS that will handle the correct formating of captured video (from a range of sources) see http://www.digmo.co.uk/hardware/elgato-video-capture/ If you have the footage in the computer already then I think I would stick to iMovie for cleaning it up / adding credits etc. Hope this helps..

I would like to edit some tapes of home movies that transferred from VHS though Eyetv 3.1.1 to DVD but there are no “tabs” on it and I don’t see a way to cut out clips. If it isn’t possible in EyeTV is there a program I can do it in without conversion and without a loss in video and audio quality? Does this method only work for TV recorded with Eye TV? Should I be editing in I-movie or another program?

Crumbs, my first album was EUROPE….The Final Countdown. And quite mad that Joey Tempest commented above!!!

(and secondary Kudos to John Waite who provided much of my teenage sensitivity with “Missing You” and Juliet Turner who, frankly, is responsible for me being married to the most wonderful woman in the world.

Great article!

Managed to solve the network problems with the DLINK device. It turns out WMM/QoS was turned on and didn’t like the iPhone. It seems the Quality of Service control wasn’t liking the iPhone. Good news it is solved though.

Not sure about the newest version of iMovie but inverted footage could be rotated in 90 degree increments on the old version. I’d check the effects menu for that particular clip.

DigMo — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 22:25:39 +0000

Yes it is the fact QT can cope and also in iMovie the little timeline thumbnails are all correct it is on the top right window that is inverted. I tested it and if I video right handed it is fine. They will probably (hopefully) update iMovie to cope, I just thought it would have been included in the recent update given every other aspect of iMovie can cope.

As for wifi I have wiped the network settings and am going to have a fresh go tomorrow (day 3). We have gone through every setting possible and the other phones work, I think it is safe to say the phone isn’t broken when it connects to every other network but this one though ?
I just hate the frustrations that often come with new technology.

The inverted video is not surprising as iMovie doesn’t know about iPhone. You’re just holding a camera upside down. There is orientation and GPS data in the movie file!!!! Quicktime, OTOH, understands this.

Have you tried wiping your 3G? Or turning off Find My iPhone in it?

WiFi? I’ve not had this issue at all with the system, connecting to a mix of WEP, WPA, WPA2 networks. Something else might be up?

Is there a similar course available in England, or better yet, London?

Comment on 3 Months with Drobo by F1reman

F1reman — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 15:31:08 +0000

After a month of usage I’ve found the Drobo (and Drobo share) to be excellent.

It’s such a relief not to have to mess about storing stuff on different partitions/disks. Now everything just goes to the drobo.

I partitioned the Drobo using NTFS and I read and write to it using both windows 7 and Mac os x 10.5 no problem at all.

When I was moving the device I accidentally hit the button that keeps the disks in place and the disk dislodged causing the system to assume it had had a disk failure. The whole thing worked seemlessly, allowing me to read/write during the process. When it had finished recovering I popped the disk back in and the Drobo saw it immediately and I carried on. Nice.

If you find backup is a pain and want a ‘fire and forget’ solution get this device. Pricey maybe but imo worth every penny I spent.

it’ll run well on that hardware, jimmyboy
It doesn’t run so well on my second generation Air.
