Hi I'm thinking of buying Adobe After Effects CC for my MacBook Pro. But I am worried it won't work. Here are my specs 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 4 GB Ram, 1333 MHz DDR3,13-inch (1280 x 800) are my displays and I'm up to date with latest software.

Hi I'm thinking of buying Adobe After Effects CC for my MacBook Pro. But I am worried it won't work. Here are my specs 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 4 GB Ram, 1333 MHz DDR3,13-inch (1280 x 800) are my displays and I'm up to date with latest software. I need to know if this will work on this Mac and or if there is any other After Effects that will work.

The display would not. However, your model does not have a discrete GPU, and the integrated (Intel 3000) would not meet CS6's requirements (any CS6 software) alone.
However:
Standard VRAM:
384 MB
Maximum VRAM:
512 MB*
Details:
Apple reports that "memory available to Mac OS X may vary depending on graphics needs. Minimum graphics memory usage is 384 MB". *If upgraded to 8 GB of RAM (or more), 512 MB will be reserved for video function.
In other words, you would need to upgrade your RAM to 8 GB. The VRAM (video ram) of the processor can exceed its specifications if you upgrade your memory to 8 GB. In order to run the software, you would have to upgrade your RAM first:

    I use the imac mainly for editing Video which when doing so it has reached temperatures of near to 60° C which causes the program to become unstable and needs to be cooled down to operate correctly.
    An Apple technician (by phone) advised me to download an smcfancontrol.  This allows each individual fan to increase speed and also advises the current temperature at °C.  The smcfancontrol has been downloaded but this has not resolved the problem.  By increasing the speed of the fan more heat is generated and creates additional noise. 
    I have since taken the iMac to an Apple Store for examination as suggested by APPLECARE when the fans were found to be working correctly.  An Apple Store technician carried out a test, but not whilst working under the pressure of FINAL CUT PRO when the iMac generates a high temperature.
    The Temperature Specification  for this model is
    Operating Temperature 20 °c to 35°C
    Storage Temp.47°c
    Clearly the temperature my iMac  is operating at is excessive and could cause the computer to break down prematurely.  Has anyone experienced this problem.

    When was the last time you cleaned/vacuumed out all of your iMac's vents, slots and ports.
    You need to do this with the iMac powered down, disconnected from power and everything disconnected.
    Lay your iMac, screen down, on a soft surface, like a heavy towel. Use a small electronics vac, or portable or full size vac with hose and a crevice tool attachment and carefully and slowly vacuum every vent, slot and port on your iMac.
    Then reconnect everything up, power up and download and install iStat Pro. Start working, then report the temps of your iMac after this has been done.
    When using SMCFan Control, it is important not to run the fans at too high an RPM. This doesn't generate heat on its own, but will suck in more dust, lint and dirt into your iMac, and that will be the cause of additonal increases in heat.
    I run my fans in the range of 1400-1600 RPMs. You can go as high as 1800 RPMs but it is important to keep the RPM range below either 1800 or below 2000 RPMs.
    I, also, run a very small desktop fan pointed toward the upper back of my iMac to keep temps down even further.

  • I bought a 5 yr old Mac G5 OSx 10.4.11, 2 GHz intel Core 2 Duo processor, 1GB 667 MHz DDR1 SDRAM memory.  It works fine but I can't get Thunderbird, Flash Player or Adobe reader to install -- it shows up on desktop as download but not App folder. Why?

    Question:  I bought a 5 yr old Mac G5 OSx 10.4.11, 2 GHz intel Core 2 Duo processor, 1GB 667 MHz DDR1 SDRAM memory.  It works fine but I can't get Thunderbird, Flash Player or Adobe reader to install -- it shows up on desktop as download but not App folder. Why?

    The downloads are probably .dmg files (disk images).  You would open the disk image (double-click it) to find the application or an installer.  If it's the application itself, you then drag the application to your Applications folder to "install" it.  If it's an installer, double-click the installer to run the installer that installs the application.
    NOTE:  If you iMac is Intel, it's not a PPC G5.

  • HT1338 Can I update my Mini 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo /4 GB 667 MHz DDR2?

    My Mini -- 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo /4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 —is "mid 2007". 
    What happens if I try to install Mtn Lion?
    Because there is a lot of buggy stuff about 10.7.x.  For instance,
    Wifi does not maintain a steady connection when using a non-airport wireless router (maddening when it goes "looking for Networks" when there is a steady signal coming from the modem.  This is consistently a buzz-kill when streaming virtually any video, and consistently happens w/ netfix.
    No, it's not the wifi router.  Non-Apple equip has rock steady wifi signal and smooth, HD streaming.
    Hardwired w/ Cat5, streaming video is no problem--and yes, I have trashed and reloaded Airport Utility, which definitely appears to be the culprit.
    Itunes does all kinds of wonky things w/ smart playlists, etc/. etc. 
    Bluetooth has a mind of it's own--forgetting it's already paired to an Apple keyboard and trackpad when I power up another Mac within 20 feet.
    DVD Player is so eratic I have given up and gone to VLC altogether--not quite as elegant an interface, but at least it's consistent AND alows me to jump over the junk promos studios insist I can't skip when played on DVD Player
    In short —All the usual loose ends the software update never gets around to addressing, but that typically an upgrade will fix.
    Theoretically, Mtn. Lion will only work on 2009 and later Mini's, but aside from buggy OS, (and, uh, eratic breaks in wifi signal) this mini works fine as a media center.
    So what happens if I try to upgrade?
    Is there perhaps a firmware update or a work around?
    Yes, I am aware the unit is 5 years old, but I am strongly opposed to being strong-armed into buying new equip because of Apple's ever increasing tendency to eliminate legacy compatibillity.  Sure it's good for Apple, but terrible for both the environment and people like me on a fixed income in this economy.  Why toss a perfectly functional unit just to make the richest corporation in the world (or 2nd, whatever) richer?
    Thanks

    Many thanks for your prompt reponse.  I expected as much, but thought the question worth asking. 
    Must admit it escapes why Mtn Lion should not be more broadly accessible, except for the blatant greed factor, which is growing increasingly tiresome. 
    I bought my 1st PowerBook in the late 80's for close to $3,000 and was a loyal evangelist for decades—both purchasing and recommending many, many Macs, until I started to buy a new MacBook Pro last year and encountered all that thunderbolt/HDMI baloney.  Then I started taking a harder look at whether Apple was genuinely attemtping to meet loyal user's needs, or simply exploiting the strength of the brand by non-legacy compatibility to drive increased sales.
    Looking around a tad after I posted, the erratic wifi problem appears to be endemic--not just minis and not just 10.7.
    I've gone through all the fixes, but Lion stubbornly persists in giving the flakest wif around--which is my main reason for wanting to try Mtn. Lion.  The rest of the new, uh, "features" definitely strike me as onanistic tweaking added gimmicks in the OS for tweaker's sake--no significant gain in usability.
    Remember when stability was the Apple OS's chief virtue?  Ah, those were the days!
    Now I am waiting for the Kool-Aid quaffers to start wising up before I can begin shorting the grossly over-valued stock.  The iPhone is losing ground fast.  Arrogant development and marketing strategies the likes of which driving Apple these days never last forever.  Remember as well when Microsoft caused fear and trembling with it's heedless hegemony?  Or how about IBM?  Or AOL?  Technology has a way of dealing with hubris.
    Best wishes for all, &c.

  • Is it possible to install CS5 or CS5.5 on a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM MacBook Pro running 10.6 (Snow Leopard)?

    Is it possible to install CS5 or CS5.5 on a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM MacBook Pro running 10.6 (Snow Leopard)?

    Hi Carolyn, thanks for your quick reply. First thing I did before posting my question was to check the system requirements for Creative Suite, both on Apple and Adobe's websites. But I am however confused about the difference between "Multicore Intel processor" vs "Core 2 Duo", and keep hearing stories about CS5 not working properly.

    Before posting my question I checked system/hardware requirements for Creative Suite, both on Apple and Adobe's websites. But I am however confused about the difference between "Multicore Intel processor" vs "Core 2 Duo", and keep hearing stories about CS5 not working properly in similar situations due to hardware issues.

    Hi LMDV,
    Welcome to the community!
    Multicore Intel processor also known as Dual core processor is required to run the CS5 or CS5.5, you have Core 2 Duo which is better then Dual core and sufficient to run the CS5 and CS5.5 apps. You just need to check other system requirements which is mentioned here:

  • Where could I buy a new hard disk for my macbook pro 15''(MB986CH/A)

    Does anyone know where I could buy a new hard disk for my macbook pro 15''(MB986CH/A) (mid 2009)? The hard drives sold in Apple Store are not for macbook pro... Thanks a lot!

    At one time Apple use to put an Apple firmware on the drives installed into Mac computer. That is not the case anymore. And even if they did that firmware was just to indentify the drive as an Apple drive. Those same drives would work in any computer and any drive would work in a Mac computer. Same is true today. There are NO Apple Mac drives. Apple uses the exact same drives as any other computer.
    Apple uses the exact same hardware as all other computers. Same CPU, GPU, RAM, Drives, DVD drives you name it, it is the same as any PC.
    Good Luck but just because you go to a Mac-centric store doesn't mean it is any different then what you would buy some place else, other then it may cost more from one of those Mac-centric places.

    After you've installed Flash Player (you have to mount the disk image by double-clicking and the double-click the insatller package) restart your browser and go to youTube, for example, -> http://www.youtube.com/ - and see if the videos play.

  • Why is my iMac (2.8.GHz Intel Core i7 w/ 4GBs RAM) using so much RAM?

    Right now I have only Firefox open with 4 tabs. Firefox only has 1 extension (1Password). No other application open or running (that I know of). My dock has 17 icons (including basics like trash, finder, launch, etc). As mentioned I have a:
    2.8 GHz
    Intel Core i7
    4 GBs RAM
    21.5 Inch
    Running on 10.7.3 (Lion)
    My RAM situation is this:
    1.83 GB Free
    78 MB Inactive
    1.40 GB Active
    697 MB Wired
    2.17 GB Used
    4.0 GB Total
    Image of my Activity Monitor (with user removed) here:
    columns as follows: PID, Process Name, % CPU, Threads, Real Mem, Kind
    I'm trying to figure out why my iMac is using so much RAM when I only have Firefox open? are any of these activities unnecessary and if so how might I turn them off and so they don't start automatically when I initially turn on the computer? This imac is two weeks old and so I haven't done a whole lot of customization yet. Please help if you can. Really appreciate it. Trying to optimize this baby. Thank you!!

    Here's mine: I have 16 Safari tabs open, some with Flash junk, and 13 apps "open" according to the Dock indicator:
    By the way the number of icons in your Dock has essentially no effect on memory. Only running apps - the ones with the little dot indicator - might be occupying memory. Even that is somewhat of an oversimplification, since "active" apps may or may not have any active processes associated with them. It's all a function of how Lion manages its memory resources, and that is a whole new world to most of us.
    With Lion, Apple is seeking to eliminate the system effects of whether an app is even open or not. Just another trivial detail the average user ought not to be concerned with, in their opinion.
    If you want a cursory introduction to that fascinating subject, Google the Ars Technica Lion review that was written a few months ago. It may ease your concerns about memory management. If you are an experienced computer user, it will rock your world.

  • Is the latest version of Adobe Flash Player bad for my macbook pro? I have heard different things like it causes MBP to overheat. any truth to this?

    From research on different communities, I have read that Adobe flash player will cause my macbook to overheat, and a bunch of other rumors. is there any proof or truth that Adobe flash player is bad for my macbook pro? I installed it a couple hours ago and so far nothing has happened but im worried about the future.

    That might have been true for the 13" Intel HD 3000 graphics models, but the newer machines with Intel HD 4000 have a bit more kick in the CPU graphics.
    and a bunch of other rumors. is there any proof or truth that Adobe flash player is bad for my macbook pro?
    No it's not bad, it's just that the late Steve Jobs came out publicly against Flash because it couldn't run on the new low performance devices like iPads and iPhones that he was serving up.
    So a lot of young people took it as a mission to kill Flash and bad mouth it to death.
    What you do have to do, like you need to do with any browser plug-in or software, is be careful from where you install it from as there are many websites that will try to trick one into installing a fake one.
    Many people thus tricked into installing a trojan immediately blame Flash as the cause, when it's not.
    Also you have to keep it updated, but using a browser like Chrome will do it for you and Firefox will not let you run outdated web browser plugins.
    Safari also blocks outdated plugins, but Apple is very slow to issue updates so it's almost worthless.
