Once you've migrated your image library from iPhotos or Aperture (or both), you'll probably want to add all the images from your iPhone or iPad and get everything organized so you can quickly find pictures from specific dates and events in the future. 

To help you accomplish both of these tasks, we've written up a tutorial that provides an overview of how to import pictures into the Photos app on OS X Yosemite and gives a few suggestions for how to organize your collection.

Once you've migrated your image library from iPhotos or Aperture (or both), you'll probably want to add all the images from your iPhone or iPad and get everything organized so you can quickly find pictures from specific dates and events in the future. 

To help you accomplish both of these tasks, we've written up a tutorial that provides an overview of how to import pictures into the Photos app on OS X Yosemite and gives a few suggestions for how to organize your collection. 

Importing Pictures

1. Connect your device (iPhone, iPad, or digital camera) to your computer using the USB connector and open the Photos for OS X app.
2. Select "Import" from the list of tabs at the top of the screen in the app.
3. Select the images you wish to add to the Photos app, or select "Import All New Items" to add everything from your device.

Imported images will automatically be added to the "Last Import" album in Photos. You can see your photos using a number of different views, including the main Photos tab, which displays all pictures that you have added to the app and any pictures that you have taken using an iOS device that is connected using My Photo Stream. 

Just like the Photos app on iOS, pictures in Photos for OS X are organized by Moments, Collections, and Years. To navigate between these timelines, click on the arrow buttons in the upper right corner of the app while in the main Photos view, or select a different view from the tabs at the top of the app. 

The "Shared" album houses photos and albums that you have shared with other people and those that have been shared with you. Select a shared album to see all pictures and add new photos to the album. Comments, Likes, and new pictures added will appear in the Activity section. 

Under the Albums tab, you will see a list of albums that are created automatically within Photos for OS X, which may include All Photos, Faces, My Photo Stream, Last Import, Favorites, Panoramas, and Bursts. You can also create your own albums here, using the "+" button on the menu bar. 

The Projects tab is where you will find books, cards, calendars, prints, or slideshows that you have created using Photos on that specific Mac. 

You can also search for photos within the Photos app by typing the keyword you wish to filter into the search bar in the upper right corner. You can find groups of photos based on names, dates, locations, and more.

'HBO NOW' Now Available for Apple TV, iPhone, and iPad

Reblog from http://www.macrumors.com/2015/04/07/hbo-now-goes-live-apple-tv/
The recently announced HBO NOW channel has gone live on the Apple TV set-top box, iPhone and iPad ahead of the series premiere of HBO hit show Game of Thrones on April 12. The new Apple TV channel and iPhone and iPad app allow users to stream all of HBO's original content, past and present, as well as its entire movie catalog. The standalone streaming service costs $14.99 per month, with customers receiving the first month free if they sign up in April. 

HBO NOW sorts the premium network's content into various categories, including a watchlist, series and movies. There is also the option to search for TV shows and movies, and a settings menu. The streaming service is presumably limited to the United States due to content licensing restrictions. The new Apple TV channel should appear for all users today alongside a companion app for iOS devices. 

HBO NOW's official iPhone and iPad app [Direct Link] is rolling out on the App Store right now, and should become available for all users by the end of the day. After subscribing to HBO NOW through Apple TV or an iOS device, users can also access the HBO NOW website to stream content on the web using a Mac, which should be a familiar experience for those who have used Netflix. 
HBO NOW for iPhone and iPad has a similar setup as the Apple TV channel, with a side menu of categories including Home, Watchlist, Series, Movies, Comedy, Sports, Documentaries, Collections, Late Night and Settings. The app is currently featuring Game of Thrones and Silicon Valley as some of its headline programming, while other popular HBO series include Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, Girls, and Entourage. 

HBO NOW is based on paying a flat monthly rate of $14.99 instead of needing an existing cable or satellite subscription like HBO Go requires. By providing access to a wide range of content across multiple devices, including Apple TV, Mac, iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, and eventually other platforms, HBO NOW has adopted a Netflix model that should prove valuable for cord-cutters looking to watch HBO content without paying for an entire channel package.

What Happens After You Watch an iTunes Rental Movie?

What Happens After You Watch an iTunes Rental Movie?

ITunes contains a large collection of new movie releases and catalog titles that you can rent or buy on your computer, iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and Apple TV. The content is available in standard and high-definition formats and is downloaded directly to your device when you click on "Rent." If your Internet connection is fast enough, you can start watching the movie rental before the download is complete.

Watching an iTunes Movie Rental

When you rent and download an iTunes movie, you have 30 days to start watching it before the movie rental expires and disappears from your movie library. After you click "Play," you have 24 hours to watch the movie, after which time the rental expires. You can watch the movie as many times as you'd like within the 24 hour-period, but 24 hours after you first select "Play," the movie is removed from your iTunes library. If you plan to watch a movie several times, you can purchase the movie with unlimited viewing rights and no expiration or time limits.

M4V Converter Plus gives users more freedom to enjoy the iTunes movie Rentals, what you need to do is go to download the software, install and import the rentals and set the output format you like, and then click convert.

Ok, the conversion completed, and you can enjoy the iTunes movie Rentals any more.

How to convert iTunes DRM movies for Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Pro ProRes, Final Cut Express and Final Cut Express ProRes

Differences among Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Pro ProRes, Final Cut Express and Final Cut Express ProRes

Final Cut Pro provides non-linear, non-destructive editing of any QuickTime-compatible video format including DV, HDV, P2 MXF (DVCProHD), XDCAM (via plug-in), 2K, 4K and 5K film formats. It supports a number of simultaneously composited video tracks (limited mainly by video format and hardware capability); unlimited audio tracks; multi-camera editing for combining video from multiple camera sources; as well as standard ripple, roll, slip, slide, scrub, razor blade and time remapping edit functions.

Although inheriting the name from its FCP predecessor, FCP X is an all-new application, written from scratch. It is a trackless 64-bit application with Grand Central Dispatch and OpenCL support, allowing it to scale and use all available cores for processing such as rendering and transcoding. FCP X supports up to 5K resolutions.

Final Cut Express was a video editing software suite, now discontinued, created by Apple Inc. It was the consumer version of Final Cut Pro and was designed for advanced editing of digital video as well as high-definition video, which was used by many amateur and professional videographers. Final Cut Express was considered a step above iMovie in terms of capabilities, but a step underneath Final Cut Pro and its suite of applications. As of June 21, 2011, Final Cut Express was discontinued, in favor of Final Cut Pro X.

Inherited from Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Express features RT Extreme, which allows previews of some video filters and transitions without rendering. Audio that is not in the native AIFF file format needs rendering before it can be played back.

If you want to convert the DRM videos from iTunes Store, M4V Converter Plus can help you.

M4V Converter Plus supports output presets for Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Pro ProRes, Final Cut Express and Final Cut Express ProRes, so users have no need to reset each parameter as they need, just use the preset, all things can be done well.
