They came through fine to me in this post, but the recent ones from your iPad were garbled.

Dan,
If there is an Emoji font on my system, I can't find it. It doesn't show up in Character Viewer, Suitcase Fusion, or even a Finder search. Perhaps I didn't search properly or am doing something wrong, but I don't see it anywhere. I'm on OSX 10.6.8.

There are several free apps on the store that will install and activate an emoji keyboard in iOS. Just search for 'emoji'.

This did not come through correctly in Apple Mail v. 5.2. No color. Could be a problem with GyazMail.

All your other icons came through fine.

I do that and it is usually firefox with a script or flash plugin that
consumes most of the cycles. I never get this with anything else. one
thing that really causes this is if I have left chrome running the same
time as firefox.

No more space available for application memory

I have no idea what has happened and need help urgently. That subject line is what is showing in the Force Quit Applications window.
Problems started this morning when the cursor wouldn't let go of something I couldn't identify. Response in all apps kept getting slower and slower and from time to time froze. This is something I haven't encountered in the past.
I've shut it down, quit apps,, everything I can think of. Have I downloaded something? This is being typed on my iPad.

Give us something to work with. My crystal ball is in the shop.
How full is the hard drive of your iMac? How large is the hard drive and how much RAM do you have? How many apps were you running and what were they?
What specific app were you trying to open when this message came up?
How long had it been running when this happened? It could be a run away cache or log filling your Mac.
Did you try a restart? Did that solve it?

Howdy.
I think we need more information.
Have you looked at Activity Monitor (a utility in your Utilities
folder) to see if something is hogging memory? You can then try to
quit it in Activity Monitor.
There are a number of things this could be.
Might be a problem with Spotlight Indexing. Do you see the Spotlight
magnifying glass icon in Menu bar (at far right)? Does it have a dot
in the middle of the magnifying glass? The dot means it's indexing.
You can pull down the menu and see a progress bar.
Might be a runaway log file.
Try doing a Safe Disk boot. Restart and press the Shift key until you
see the progress bar. You will need to log in with your Admin password
when it boots. This does some maintenance things and turns off Login
Items (you won't be able to use Internet after a Safe Disk boot until
you restart.
Try using the good, and free, maintenance Utility OnyX to do
maintenance and cleaning routines. OnyX isn't the only utility for
this but a number of people on this group like it.

I took a few seconds to do a web search for "No more space available for application memory". The first result sent me to an Apple discussion board and this first message:
> This message pops up when running the system for some time a day or 2. Full message
> "Your Mac OS X startup disk has no more space available for application memory. To avoid problems with your computer, quit any applications you are not using, Closing windows and removing files from your startup disk will also help."
How large is the main partition on your primary hard drive?
How much free space is there in that partition?
Are you running Time Machine, and if so, is the external drive to which you back up connected when this happens?

I've noticed that and think it pretty chicken-bleep on Apple's part.
I have squished it with a needle nose pliers, and can get it to work,
but, considering the price of more standard cables, probably not
worth the effort.

Re: Cropping videos
Posted by: "Jurgen Richter" yahoo-1@sympatico.ca epsongroups
Sun Jun 10, 2012 10:58 am (PDT)
Thanks for the tips....
Just to clarify, I wanted to > crop < a video, not > trim < it.
To trim it, according to all the apps that have that feature, is to be
able to remove running time from either end.
To crop it is to reconfigure the area of view to new proportions or
number of pixels of width and height.
That is what I set out to do, as the iphone video could not be set to
zoom into a specific area of interest (for some reason, or my ignorance
of the full features of iphone video with the camera app).
I wanted to crop (as it turned out 300 pixel rows off the top, 100 pixel
rows off the bottom, and 200 pixel columns off the left and right side.)
so that my 6 gig file became physically smaller. I also ended up
trimming 60 minutes off the running time off the 83 minutes the video
ran - most off the beginning and some off the end.
The solution:
MPEG Streamclip
While it did not do this that intuitively, it turns out the crop options
become available when you "convert" your existing movie to another one,
even if it is the same format. So it crops and/or trims on the fly to
create a second version of your original.
My movie took just over 2 hours to process on my Mac (2 x 2.4 GHz
Quad-Core intel Xeon with 24 GB RAM) and you should have seen those
cores chugging away! (I have the menu bar display for iStat Menus 3)
The end result was CROPPED and TRIMMED as expected....
The movie played in Quicktime as well as VLC (another gem of an app!)

Howdy.
If you turn on your Input menu, you will be able to see and use the
Emoji and thousands of other characters in nearly all programs.
See System Preferences > Language & Text (in Lion, International in
older OS X systems) > Input Sources tab.
Check Keyboard & Character Viewer on.
Note new Input menu on Menu bar on right side. It's a black square
unless you turn on a language keyboard like Italian. Then using the
Input menu shows your default installed language flag (as in US flag
for US English, Union Jack for English English) until you select the
other keyboard.

For me it only works with PDF books, which makes sense, since he is suggesting Preview as the app to use. I got the idea maybe he is downloading PDF books on his phone or iPad and wrote this to tell you how to get them into iTunes on a Mac?

Blaine,
The default format for iBooks is epub so just look for that at
Gutenberg.org, etc. Even if you don't find that, iBooks can read pdf, and
there are free ebook converters such as Calibre (which you also use as a
reader on Macs).

I can recommend Calibre very highly. I have used it for over a year and now it interfaces with iTunes so that the resultant books can be sent directly to an iOS device.
