I recently bought a 13" Mac Book Pro i7 dual core processor and everything was just fine until now. I have been using iMovie for about a month and it runs perfectly, but now I can't seem to use it for more than 20 minutes without iMovie crashing. Help?

When iMovie crashes it also makes my compute very slow and unpleasant to use. Has anyone else had this problem before? Should I take my laptop to the genius bar? I owned this computer for over a month now.

  • Mac book pro i5 dual core Adobe CS5.5 Design Premium

    Hi All,
    I am thinking of getting a 13" 2011 mac pro i5 dual core for graphics design and not for any video editing. Can anybody advice the on board HD 3000 graphics is adequate to run adobe CS5.5 suites (illustrator, indesign,photoshop etc)?
    Thanks in advance

    It is adequate but not great. Also the screen size would be limiting for this type of work.
    I suggest you look into the 15" models as they have a dedicated graphics chip and a larger screen, of course.
    You will also want to upgrade the RAM from the standard 4GBs to 8GBs but you can do that yourself for much less money then buying it from Apple with the unit.

  • Have CC on my mac - everything was working fine, until now...

    Everything was working fine, and now none of the apps are clickable, so I can't open any of them - nothing has changed since I last used the apps.   What should I do?
    Thanks!

    Rename the OOBE Folder to OOBE.old from this location

  • I have just recently bought a 13" mac book pro and my dearest wife would like an ipad2 would excel be compatible across the iPad 2 and the MBP?

    Hello people,
    Need a little help here, I recently purchased my first ever MacBook Pro and my dearest wife is looking at using an iPad 2 to do some excel spreadsheets for her new cake enterprise.
    The question i have is can excel for Mac be transferred over to and from these two devices.
    Thanks in anticipation
    Russ

    There are several iPad apps that can read and write Excel files or Excel-compatible files. Numbers is one, and I use it on both my MBP and my iPad, though not heavily on either. I also use Excel on the Mac, and because I'm used to it, I prefer it to Numbers, which works a bit differently.
    I would be leery of buying an iPad to use as a substitute for a computer. Typing on it is very inefficient unless you use an external keyboard, and no Mac or Windows software runs on it -- only iOS software. You must use a computer to move files onto and off it, organizing them on it is difficult, and if you don't have a network printer you can't print from it. I dearly love my iPad 2, but it's an adjunct to my heavily-used MBP, not a substitute for one.

  • HT4623 how can I restart my iphone I have been charging it for more than an hour.

    How do I know my charging port is spoilt? Cant seem to charge my phone

    Keep on charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until the iPhone begins to start. If nothing, your charging port, charger, USB cable or other, could be problem. Make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing.

    I have recently bought an old Mac Book after having purchased an iPhone and iPad.
    The internet connection (via Airport) keeps timing out while the Airport connection is still on as confirmed by the Mac and shown on the task bar.
    Any ideas?

    TVs don't support "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)", so you will probably have to use FAT32. To format the external drive, follow the same steps as you did to format it with "Mac OS Extended (Journaled), but in the erasing screen, select "MS-DOS (FAT)" as "Format". Note that FAT32 isn't compatible with files bigger than 4 GB. Also, you may have to format the external drive in a PC

    I just bought a new Mac Book Pro and did a migration of the content of the old laptop (also a Mac Book Pro) to the new one. Now I cannot start Photoshop CS6. When I am starting it I have a window "Adobe photoshop CS6 extended" opening requesting a connexion. When I am entering my password for the connexion the software crashes. How can I fix the problem?

    Migrating, transferring or copying is DEMANDING trouble, not just asking for it.

  • I have bought a new Mac Book Pro, and I need to know how I can move Aperture from my old Mac Book to the new one..

    I have bought a new Mac Book Pro, and I need to know how I can move Aperture from my old Mac Book to the new one..

    It begins with: F-285-NER-151-QBQ-and continues with 5 more 3 or 4 letters/numbers..
    Yes, that is the number. And what version of Aperture have you installed? The same version as on your old Mac?
    But it don´t work on my new Mac...
    In what way does it not work? Does it require you to enter a licence number for Aperture 2 as well? That will be necessary, if your serial number is an upgrade serial number. Then you will have to enter all previous numbers as well.
    Or does Aperture not accept the number as correct? Then check the spelling; some letters are easily confused like "I" and "1" and "O" and "0". Do not use the number pad to enter the numbers.

  • I have an old Mac book pro which had hundreds of photos in iphoto. recently bought a new mac book air. now my iphoto library on the old mac book is gone!!!!

    I have an old Mac book pro which had hundreds of photos in iphoto. recently bought a new mac book air. now my iphoto library on the old mac book is gone!!!!

    now my iphoto library on the old mac book is gone!!!!
    How did you search for the iPhoto Library?
    What do you mean by "is gone"?  Is the iPhoto Library missing from the Pictures folder?  Or does iPhoto launch and show and empty library, and you assume, that the library is missing?
    Which version of iPhoto is installed on your old Mac?
    Search with Find Any File for iPhoto Libraries -  download Find Any File here: The trial is free:
    http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/index.htmlhttp://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/index.php
    You can search everywhere with FindAnyFile, where Spotlight will not search. 
    I learned this  from Old Toad , see his post here:
    Re: My iPhoto Library disappeared...how do I get it back?
    Download and run Find Any File to search for a file with "ThumbJPGSegment" in the file name. These are files common to all versions of  iPhoto libraries.
    FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, system folders and packages. If there's a library hiding somewhere on your hard drive FAF will find it.

  • Bought a New Mac Book Pro last week, can I get a free upgrade to Lion?

    To cut a long story short, I bought a new Mac Book Pro Last week, it is only 6 days old now, it was nearly 2 grand and comes with Snow Leopard, today on their website I saw Lion OS Advertised as 'coming soon to a mac near you' or something. I was just wondering, as I've just spent nearly 2 grand on a Mac Book last week, would I be eligible for a free upgrade to Lion when it comes out?
    I think you should be as when I bought it i was never informed there was a new OS coming out soon, does anyone know the answer? Or how much it may be to upgrade? as after spending £1899 I don't want to have to pay £100+ to upgrade a month later or so.
    Kind Regards,
    Chris

    Lion won't be out until middle of next year, so you are not entitled to any upgrade. But you may be entitled to the iLife '11 software if it isn't already installed. Check the Apple website for any Up to Date offer.
    +No merchandiser is required to inform you of a new product not yet available. If you think they are then you are poorly informed.+

  • I am using FCP 7.0.3.on my Mac Pro. I bought a new mac book pro and loaded the software on to the lap top but the software is 6.0.3. How do i get the update to the lap top?

    I am using FCP 7.0.3 on my Mac Pro. I bought a new mac book pro and loaded the software on to the lap top but the software is 6.0.3. How do i get the update to the lap top?

    .. and by the way, the jump from FCP 6.0.3 to FCP 7.0 (or higher) isn't an "update"  It's a full version "upgrade" that has to be done using the install discs (or disc images).

  • Hi, I bought a new Mac Book Pro, very high spec, installed Lion and now the machine is slow, glitchy. how do i wipe it and put Leopard back on it? any help would be great..?

    Hi,
    I bought a new Mac Book Pro a couple of months ago the new model, very high spec, i7 processor, 500g solid state drive, 8 gig of ram. all in all a very fast machine. however, i foolishly downloaded OS X Lion and as soon as i did i noticed a considerable difference in the machine basically its ground to a halt, its now slow glitchy programs shut down and crash. I'm new to Mac and in reminded of life in the world of Windows....! any suggestions should i wipe Lion off the machine and re install Leopard? any help would be appreciated..
    Liam

    Surely you meant to say that there was nothing in Lion you would prefer over !10.6! - Lion is 10.7.
    As for what might be sapping your machines juice - have you run Activity Monitor yet? I always enable 'All Processes' and sort it by %CPU usage if i want to know whats cooking.
    In addition to the list Disk Activity might give a hint.
    If you are quite low on available disk space it might also be that osx is constantly swapping - best to keep a few GB of free space for it to work with.
