My MacWorld in 2 minutes and 39 seconds

MacWorld Walkthrough in 2mins and 39 seconds from Eileen on Vimeo.

Mauricio and I went to the MacWorld Conference and Expo and spent 2 hours on the show floor. Here's what we saw in that small amount of time.

This is also the first time I used my new HV30 (and yeah, we saw the HV40 on the show floor). I used the 24p setting, but the sped up video didn't fly as well as I wanted. On preview it was fine, but I'm guessing it was my choice of compression?

Enjoy!

I believe

I'm so thrilled to announced that my new MacPro has arrived and is up and running.  Although it'll take some time to really get to know one another, I believe we will have a very good partnership.  I've named the new computer "Ms. Apple", as my previous computers were "Mr. Apple" & "Mr. Apps".

I believe "Ms. Apple" will help me avoid days like today where rendering a 3-minute motion graphic intensive video takes 25 mins.  One mistake could cost another 25 minutes of rendering...and another.  In my rush today I made a few mistakes that had to be corrected.

I believe "Ms. Apple" will get me on track and help me multi-task.

I believe "Ms. Apple" will enjoy its new home.

I believe all this because I spent a lot of money, and it has to work.

I believe I am a slave to technology.

Dear Eileen (final),

Earlier this week I did receive a response from my Dot Mac Specialist and I thought I would close this issue with every piece of correspondence as documentation. Did I really not give them enough info to help me?

Hello Eileen,

I am glad to hear that you resolved your issue.

Removing the SyncServices folder is a way to resolve syncing issues that are being caused by the underlying syncing engine being damaged. Unfortunately, without knowing your specific .Mac Sync issue (experienced in addition to your iPhone syncing issue), I could not give such troubleshooting steps out as they will not fix all syncing issues.

The post that you found is actually relating information from the following support article:

.Mac: Troubleshooting syncing issues or issues in the .Mac preferences Sync or Advanced pane
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306122

If you require any further assistance with .Mac Sync, feel free to reply to this email and let me know.

My phone is still syncing and working quite well - thank goodness!

Dear Apple (the final e-mail),

After a week of frustration, I finally had some time to look through the Apple forums myself and found a post (see below) that helped me use iSync again. My contacts and calendar are back on my iPhone - hooray! (Although I really found myself liking google calendar). If you ever have the same problem, try the solution below.

So, thanks for nothing Apple.
