I need help to decide which macbook pro is best for photo editing, editing movies and doing all the rest too like excel, word etc. 13"

I need help to decide which macbook pro is best for photo editing, editing movies and doing all the rest too like microsoft office products ...excel, word etc. I am new to the apple world and have liked the idea of the MAC Book Pro 13" but really dont know if this is good enough or if the computer will soon crash?
13-inch: 2.6GHz
with Retina display
Specifications
2.6GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz
8GB 1600MHz memory
512GB PCIe-based flash storage1
Intel Iris Graphics
Built-in battery (9 hours)2

That's a fine machine and, with 8GB of RAM and 512GB flash storage should serve you well for light video/photo editing as well as for 'normal' usage. And it should last you for years to come.
Good luck in making your decision!!

Which MacBook Pro is best for an online MBA program and face to face classes?

I'm going back to school for an MBA and going to pick up some certifications first. I'll be attending online classes and some face to face classes. How much MacBook Pro do I need? I'm in the HR community, and my MBA is in Global Managment if that helps any.

Trying to decide which Mac Pro is best for me

Hi-
It's high time I upgrade to a Mac Pro and I need to do so in a month or two. I can't wait around for whatever new version of Mac Pro may come out in the Fall.
I am very confused as to whether an August 2010 Quad core 2.8 ghz or 3.2 ghz versus an August 2010 2.4 ghz 8 core is better for my needs.
I use my Mac for FCS and DVD compression. I usually use iDVD. My work is editing primarily for legal purposes- Mediation presentations, Day in the Life Documentaries and depositions. There is not much use for things like Motion or other effects. Right now I use Livetype for some animated titles.
I am sure, compared to what I have now, a Quad core's speed will make me pee my pants and would be perfect for my purposes. My concern is what will continue to be supported over the next 3-4 years if I don't run out and buy a new computer until then. Will newer software updates continue to work fine on a quad core or willa n 8 core be a requirement as Intel processors are de rigeur for software updates.
I'd appreciate your thoughts, Apple community. Thanks!

Go back to page one of that MacRumors thread.
Very complete with photos etc
It takes me a long time and work to wrap my head around details.
You asked about 8-core performance.
I recommended the $2100 special and $600 cpu, you can then sell the original cpu for $300 and come out with $2495 for 6-core system that is 50% faster than what it was.
Allocate for RAM (4 x 4GB or 3 x 8GB), extra hard drives, eventually an SSD boot drive ($200) also.
RAM, drives, SSDs, they even do (very expensive$$$) processor "Turnkey" upgrades.

I am going to college this fall and can't decide which MacBook pro to buy!

I am going to college this fall and can't decide which MacBook pro to buy the 13in or the 15in. Mainly to type, browse the web, watch videos, and maybe some light gaming. I am worried that the 15in might be too big to carry around all the time. And worried about the 13in being too small and hurting my eyes over time. Once I do get one, I am most likely going to use it for the full 4 years. Please Help !

The 13" will do the trick for what you describe as your needs, Be sure to consider how you will backup your data -- need an external drive?
Also be sure to check with your college or division of study to see what they recommend. If they are hostile to Macs, you may be on your own for finding support. But in most major cities, that will not be too hard.

HELP!? Remove 1 page from long document and shift all the rest pages

Hello,
I am facing to following problem:
I have a long document with facing pages. Now I need to remove one left page in the middle of the document and shift all the rest pages one step forward. It means from all right pages do a left and vice versa (started from the page that was removed). There is a continous text int the whole document and left/right strip made from different photos.
To clarify the situation I am attaching the preview. I have deleted page no.12 and I need to shift page 13 to left, 14 to right after 13, 15 to left, 16 to right after 15 and so on....
Is there any simple way how to do it?
Thank you very much for any tips.

It looks to me as if you may something else going on here. Are you using right-to-left text here so the document binding would be onthe right when the book is closed? If not, your problem is not with page 13 so much as it is with the earlier pages.
Unless you force it to do otherwise by disabling page shuffling someplace, in left-to-right documents using facing pages ID will always put odd numbered pages to the right of the spine and even to the left, the opposite for right-to-left documents. In either case, it seems like you have page shuffling disabled either for the whole file or for a selected spread. You can re-enable it from the menu in the Pages panel. When ID asks if you want to maintain the current number of pages on a spread you should probably say no. Either pages 1-12 will swtch sides, or 13 and following will, and your spreads will rearrange to put two pages together as they should be.
If you have overridden master page objects, a side effect of switching sides on the spread will be that the overridden objects will remain and the new master objects from the other side of the spread will appear behind them.

Urgent I need help about Problem with macbook pro

The first sorry for my english,
I have a macbook pro buy it me almost one year ago, and these days me the mouse remains I want and cannot do anything have to wait a few seconds and it returns to work, and also when it puts in rest it touched all the keys and the trackpad but it does not answer, I have to close the screen and wait awhile to raise it and return to react, if someone can help me it be be to him very grateful, in addition the guarantee of hardware is ended in 8 days. thank you very much

Hi leptones, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
I'm not sure if your warranty expires in 8 more days or it already expired 8 days ago? If you're still under warranty, I would definitely call AppleCare or go to an Apple Store or AASP; they can troubleshoot it and determine if it's something that needs fixing while you're still under warranty (if you are).

I need help loading up my MacBook pro that's stuck on the loading screen

mmy macbook pro yosimite os won't load. It is stuck on the grey screen, and the progress bar is stuck at half. Can anyone help me please???

Hi Mr Dachanga,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with Yosemite on your MacBook Pro. If you are still unable to boot past a grey screen, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:
Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup - Apple Support
Note: If you get to the portion about using an OS X Install Disk, you would want to use OS X Recovery instead, as outlined here:

Which macbook pro to buy for editing?

I will be buying a macbook pro for my future editing as i will be traveling a lot. I use after effects, premiere pro, sometimes fcp 7 and occasionaly blender and cinema 4d. I will be watching a lot of movies and playing games occasionaly. I have a late 2009 imac with 4 gigs of ram, 3.06 ghz dual core processor, 500gb hard drive and NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256 MB. It is quite slow in rendering. I use full hd footage and put effects in my videos such as muzzle flashes or maybe a planet in the sky(that kind of stuff). What software requirements do you guys recommend for a faster editing and rendering? I am ok if it takes some time in rendering but ofcourse not ages. And also which macbook pro do you guys recommend (also from the previously manufactured mcbp)?
Thanks in advance.

Both will work fine with 1080p AVCHD but you will notice an increase in performance simply because Premiere LOVES a good GPU and the 750M is a good one as far as laptops go. Yes, its more but if you're serious about performance go with the better GPU.
That being said...save a bit and go with this below (same as your 2nd option but cheaper):
Refurbished 15.4-inch MacBook Pro 2.5GHz Quad-core Intel i7 with Retina Display - Apple Store (U.S.)
It'll save you $400. Bam! Thank me later. Apple's refurbished program is top of the line. Comes fully warrantied and you can get apple care, etc. if you want as well. It's like buying it new. These refurbished computers are often just ones bought and then returned within a few days by customers trying things out and there's absolutely nothing wrong with them. They can basically be looked at like new.

I need help diagnosing why my Macbook pro is crashing my internet?

Hi, I need help diagnosing a problem with my macbook pro early 2011. For the past two weeks all of a sudden my internet was crashing and really slow. Finally I was getting so fed up I called my internet provider and we ruled out that it isnt the cable modem or router. When I turned my macbook off everything was working fine and all my tablets and apple TV was streaming fine with the speeds I pay for. I've already went to the genius bar and they did a clean install of maverick. After the clean install the internet worked for one day and the next day when I got home at night it stopped working. Went to the genius bar once more and took my router and the problem was encountering the same at the store we reseted the router and everything worked fine again. When I got home I reseted the router setup up with new ssisd and same problem internet crashing. Finally I decided to make another account and the internet was working fine again. Before going to my second trip to the genius bar I made a second account which was working good with good internet speeds, but I still decided to go in cause I don't want to have to have multiple accounts since I'm the only user. Right now the only way the internet isn't crashing is using another account rather than the administer account. Please help cause I've already went to the apple store twice and feel like I'm at the end of the road and never going to fix the problem

Need help on deciding which Mac I should buy

Alright, so I have a very important decision I need to make and I really need help making it.
My two choices:
Choice 1: My first choice is that I have $1378 dollars to buy a MacBook. My choice is the MacBook air 13" with 128 GB hard drive, 8 GB Memory, and 1.7 GHz processor.
Choice 2: My Dad does not want his MacBook Air 11" base model from 2012. He is willing to give it to me. In return, I will give him the $1378 and he will buy himself a $400 laptop from that. Then he will buy me a 500 GB Thunderbolt hard drive and a thunderbolt to hdmi adaptor for the MacBook Air. The remaining money will then go to me.
Either choice I take, I need a computer fast enought to do serious video editing with Final Cut Pro and Multi-tasking. Also, it needs to last 3 years. Which choice should I take. I have one week to decide. Either way, my dad will pay for my Mac OS X Mavericks Update.

The processors in the new MacBook Airs are not that much more powerful than the 2012 models, the real difference is in the battery life. When you say your dad has the base model, I'm assuming that is the 4 GB RAM/64 GB SSD version. You would be cutting it close on storage space, but the external Thunderbolt drive would make up for that. 4 GB RAM is also cutting it close, especially for video editing, but I hear the flash storage on the MacBook Airs helps compensate for that.
If it were me, I would go with option 2, considering you should have a pretty good chunk of change left over once your dad buys his laptop and your Thunderbolt accessories.
