Re: AT&T Family Share - 8 years ago

The new Family Plan with the 10GB seems sweet but there's a big caveat -- you will forgo getting subsidized phones in the future. I.e., when that new iPhone 6 or 6s comes out you will have to pay the full unlocked price for it ($600-800). You could always sign up for AT&T's Next plan but that would make the per phone charge jump from $15/mo to something like $35/mo. Just make sure you fact

Re: Mavericks is free but iPhoto requires a paid upgrade? - 8 years ago

If you have any computer with iPhoto 11, you can transfer iPhoto 11 to another of your computers for free. iPhoto 09 (i.e., iPhoto v8.x) will work with Mavericks so you'll only need to pay for an upgrade if your copy of iPhoto is older than 5 years or you really want to get the features of the current version. Of course, if the app store detects even just a trial copy of the apps from iLife 09

Re: Licensing a photo -- what should I charge? Terms? - 8 years ago

This looks like a simple way to do a license. Probably nor air tight but enough to get by. As far as pricing, you should come up with something that you are comfortable with. Any extra money for gear is always nice. Also make sure the contract does not transfer copyright to the purchaser, just a license to use the image for a specific purpose. Might want to specify if it can be onl

Re: Photo Recovery from SD card help - 8 years ago

Photo Recovery from SD card help - 8 years ago

A friend of mine returned from a trip and couldn't get the photos off his SD card and came to me for help after trying to import them into iPhoto and having trouble. The card in question shows a directory with about 180 pictures with the correct information (file name, date taken, file size). However, copying the files over to a computer results in files with a file size of zero bytes. You

Re: how do I transfer data from a 3GS & a touch to a 4S? - 8 years ago

You'll need another program to copy the app's data from a third device to the new one. First make a backup of each (the 3GS and the touch) using iTunes. When you get the new 4S, use one of the backups (say the 32GB touch) as the source to restore it from. Install any additional apps you want on the 4S (any apps from the 3GS that aren't on the touch). Then use an app like iExplorer or PhoneView

If primes are your thing add the 85mm f1.8 (or 85mm f1.2) to your list. The 70-200 f2.8 IS is my fav lens (though I have the older non- II version). And do you mean 5D MkIII? $2700 for a Mk II body seems a bit much (I know it's used but thought they are going for <1500 on Craigslist). Edit - Ahh, kit. I do like the 24-105 also, it's my "everyday lens".

Re: iPhone camera shutter button - 9 years ago

It wasn't that Camera Plus duplicated something Apple was doing. The app got kicked out of the store temporarily because by reassigning the function of the volume button to be a shutter they violated the developer guidelines. The feature was removed, the app was put back on the store. Then Apple added this functionality to the OS and the everyone lived happily ever after
