How well does Adobe Air work with the MacBook Pro?

If I install a program that uses Adobe Air will it affect my MacBook Pro?

I have several other Macromedia applications - but not Air. But if the other applications are an indication, boot is going to be slow (around a minute); Air's dependence on Flash will guarantee relatively slow performance. As you know, most other applications boot in seconds.
Your best solution would be to download the free part of the programs to determine if you find the performance acceptable.

  • How well does Compressor 4 work with Final Cut 6?

    How well does Compressor 4 work with Final Cut 6?

    The short answer is that there is no interoperability between them. Of course, you can certainly export a QT movie from FCP and bring it into C4.
    Honestly, I'm not sure it's worth it for someone already has C3. There is very little that C4 can do that C3 cannot. The major differences are that C4 has certain presets like  MPEG 4 h.264 and 1080 Apple TV; it can also create simple Blu Rays and DVDs. Qmaster is integrated, but I'm not sure whether that is a gain.

  • I have an iPod G2 with a firewire 400 lead. how can I attach it to my new 13 inch Mac book Pro, is there a 400 to 800 firewire converter. USB lead wont work with the Macbook Pro. iPod used as an external drive to archive memory cards on the go.

    My G2 iPod that I use as an external drive to archive memory cards on the go cannot link with my new 13" Macbook Pro cause it uses a firewire 400 lead. It will not work with a USB lead. Is there a firewire 800 ipod lead or converter available? Can any one shed some light on this please?

    As far as I know, if a harddrive works with a Macpro, it should work with the Macbook: if your Macbook is low on power, plug in the AC adapter
    If your Macbook has a firewire port, then it should be fine. BUt i would do somemore research first.

  • What wireless routers work with the MacBook Pro?

    I have been having problems with my inconsistent D-Link 624 and I realize that I will have to replace it.
    I would like to know what routers are compatible with the MacBook Pro. My D-Link worked fine with my iBook but I think it does not work with the Intel binary. Any suggestions?

    I had problems with a number of different Linksys routers (dropped signal, couldn't connect to some iChat AV calls, etc). I'd been using some Airport express routers for music around the house, which I switched around a made a primary wireless router and a reange exapnder. I've had ZERO problems since.
    BTW, I was having almost identical problems with my PowerMac G5 (with a wireless card).
    I'm curious if something in recent upgrades (10.4.7?) has changed the OS's ability to connect reliably with non-Apple routers.
    But at least my Apple routers seem to be working very well.

  • Does the ICURVE work with the MacBook Pro?

    I'm in need of a laptop stand for my new MBP and saw the Griffin iCurve PowerBook/iBook Stand online. Does anyone know if it will work with the MBP? Does anyone have experience using one of these stands (good or bad)? I'd love to hear your opinions. Thanks a lot.

    There were more, but I didn't bother verifying their relevancy. I leave the heavy lifting to you.

  • Does the Asus BW-12D1S-U work with the MacBook Pro with Retina display?

    I ordered a new MacBook Pro with Retina Display, and I want to be able to burn Blu-rays. Will any of these external Blu-ray burners work with my new laptop?
    ASUS USB 3.0 12X Blu-ray Burner Model BW-12D1S-U/BLK/G/AS
    Plextor PX-B310U 6x Blu-ray Combo Super Multi Drive
    LITE-ON USB 3.0 12X External Blu-ray Disc Writer Model eHBU212-08 LightScribe Support
    I have a Mac desktop too, so if an external Blu-ray burner will not work I am going to get an internal Blu-ray burner and install in on my desktop (the LG WH12LS38K). I would prefer to get an external Blu-ray burner so I can use it on both my laptop and desktop.

    In general you should be fine, but it wouldn't hurt to contact the manufacturer and ask about compatibility. If it works with OS X on USB 3, 2 will work but slower. As for density - there are 50GB bluray disks. Nice for storage.

  • Does anybody have problems with the Macbook Pro Retina 15' fans being really loud even when playing flash games like candy crush or tetris?

    Hey guys,
    So after a few months of using the MBP 15' Retina, I've discovered that the fans are incredibly loud even when playing flash games like candy crush or tetris.. are any of you guys having the same problem? Like all of a sudden from be quiet to unbelievably loud just as the games load. So yeah, hopefully someone has the same problem as I am having.
    What I was thinking was that the MBP Retina 15' is such a beefed up laptop, it shouldn't require that much CPU to run flash games that are not even THAT graphically intensive to which making the fans that loud..
    Thanks!

    Believe it or not, Flash REALLY isn't the issue.
    It's hardware makers making devices with less processor performance and requiring software makers to fit into a certain requirements of such. Namely iPhone, iPods and iPads.
    Flash is designed to give a lot of features and work across many operating systems, browsers and platforms as a write once solution.
    Flash has a certain level of processor performance requirement, which hardware makers like Apple want to build less powerful machines using less expensive processors.
    Apple has removed Coverflow 3D effects from iTunes and discontinued the 17" MacBook Pro, leaving only the 15" as having a more powerful 3D capable graphics capability.
    So Apple is obviously on a anti-heat/performance quest as they further thin up their hardware, trying to kill Flash by punishing Mac users who want to run it.
    Flash runs without a fan sound on my older Mac with dedicated GPU and older OS X verison, no sweat.
    Head to your System Preferences > Energy Saver and if you have it, uncheck Automatic Graphics switching, this will use the dedicated GPU and shorted battery life, but if your on power should reduce the heat and fan noise.
    Another option is to use SMC fan control and set the fan default speed slightly faster, this will keep the machine slightly cooler and not trigger the higher fan speed as often.
    If your running 10.8, you will need to System Preferences > Security > downloads to "Anywhere"
    SMC FanControl is over at MacUpdate.com.

  • Does iWork come free with the macbook pro?

    When you buy a macbook pro does stuff like Pages come free? and if i bought pages for ipad will it be free for macbook if its not already free?

    Unfortunetly Mac's don't come with iWork (Pages, Numbers, Keynote). They only come with iLife, which consists of Garage Band, iWeb, iMovie etc.
    There is a free alternative, which does the exact same thing as iWork and MS Office, it's called Open Office. It's free to download, use and share. It's free from adds and commenrcials and is a very usefull program because it has things that iWork and the basic MS Office Mac don't offer (such as a their own version of Access and Project)
    Link to OpenOffice is Bellow
    http://www.openoffice.org/porting/mac/download/
    Once on this page, download OpenOffice.org Aqua

  • Does imovie come free with the macbook pro?

    So I'm planning to buy a macbook pro really soon. But i wanted to know if imovie comes with it for free, if anyone could please let me know that would be great. Thanks.

    iMovie comes with all new Macs for free. Just, after setting up the Mac, open App Store > Purchases, and you will be able to download iMovie for free. Also, you will be able to install it on all your Macs for free

  • How well does iWorks 06 work with iLife 5?

    I may not upgrade to iLife 6. I may upgrade iWork however. Apple recomends iLife 6, so I am interested if any users have it running on iLife 5. I would like to here about it.
    Thanks Ed

    I got both iLife 06 and iWork 06 today.
    I've only experimented a little bit, but one thing I did check out was cut-and-paste from pages to iweb. For a table and a movie and an outline it worked very well. This may be useful.
    Both pages 2.0 and iWeb are somewhat better than I had been led to believe.
    Also, for me a big improvement in pages is that, when you export to pdf, web links remain intact. I'll certainly be using that.

  • How well does ESET security work with Mac ML?

    I'm running the MOUTAIN LION sysytem and I purchased the ESET CyberSecurity sofware from the Apple store.  It never mentioned that it wasn't compatibale , (only for 10.5 & 10.7) until I tried to download the program.  What do you suggest?

    The short answer is that there is no interoperability between them. Of course, you can certainly export a QT movie from FCP and bring it into C4.
