So... here's the story

So... here's the story. I currently have a mini mac and am looking to buy a mac pro.
But, should I just go out and buy one now, or should I wait till leopard comes out? (which I think is in oct-nov)
Should I wait?
Is there a big difference between tiger and leopard?
When leopard comes out, I asume the mac pro won't change but the price will go up?
If I go and buy one now, can I later upgrade to leopard when it comes out? (how much would it cost me?)
Thanks Guys and Gals

Should I wait?
Based on Leopard alone… no. If you're waiting for a hardware update or the like then that answer might well be different depending on circumstances but even still, it's normally no.
When leopard comes out, I asume the mac pro won't change but the price will go up?
No. When Leopard is released all Mac prices will remain the same with the only difference being hat it will then come with Leopard, just like PCs now come with Vista as the same price.
If I go and buy one now, can I later upgrade to leopard when it comes out? (how much would it cost me?)
Yes you can upgrade to Loepard (after its release of course) when you like, just like the rest of us. The cost is the same as it has been for quite some time, $US129 (or the UK Pound Sterling price plus VAT as you would pay).
Ultimately, what you need to do is decide what you gain by waiting along with what you lose by waiting. To me, having the power of a Mac Pro over a Mac mini, even if it's an Intel model, for 4 months from now until October is worth the price of the Leopard upgrade on its own.
Additionally, depending on your experience with largers systems like the MP the time from now can really help you get your house in order before jumping into Leopard. There's quite a bit to mull over when it comes to 4 drive bays (and all you can do with that) and 8 RAM slots not to mention Boot Camp thrown in.

  • Now here is the story: gmail vs iCloud

    There must be a way to manage the following problem (Dell W7 top of the range, iPhone 4S 16 and iPad 2 64:
    1. I imported all my Outlook contacts to Google contact, mainly to be able to get rid of duplicates and merge mail accounts that were double but with different content and because I do not want to synch to Outlook.
    2.. I synched the iPhone 4S (iOS5) from iTunes but before this I deleted my mail iCloud contacts on the phone
    3. The synch went seamless it seems and I got under the contact app the following on the iPhone: 'All Contacts', 'Exchange contacts' and Exchange Global Address list'
    4 So far fine
    5. Then I turned on the iCloud contact and get further to 'All iCloud' several subgroups that were created on an iPhone 3G with Outlook years ago and I have no more use for these groups. How the heck can I get grid of these sub groups that drives me up the wall. I don't want them and I created them in Outlook years ago.
    BTW my main mail account is gmail set up as IMAP with push, I have other accounts set up as normal POP accounts and no push of course.
    Anyone have a solution to my problem, is there anyway we can access iCloud to make the manual changes?
    Help would be appreciated.

    Nice of you to jump in after I have had the audacity to complain about not getting any response to my original post, that was quick indeed, no wonder that you are at Level 6 and I am at zero..
    Now, if you had had an answer to my question and problem it would have been nice to share that with me and all the other users rather than complaining about such a bad person I am, and provide the solution at the time of my original post.
    But since I am not such a bad person as you claim I will give you the simple answer to the problem (that should be obvious to you as a power user), all I had to do was to log onto www.icloud.com, sign in and make the changes there and also get rid of all the old groups that I had  made in the old Outlook while on my first iPhone 3. Simple, yes, but it took me hours to figure it out.
    So simple that I thought that you power users did not even consider that an answer to a novice like me was even warranted.
    Have a nice day and be well :-)

  • My iPod isn't charging so here is the story i went and plugged my iPod in and took a nap for 2 hours and when i woke up i go to my ipod and find that it is still on red it didn't charge 1 bit and it doesn't have a shortage no bent parts???

    My iPod isn't charging. cauas on red so i took it and plugged the charger in the iPod i took a nap for 2 hours and woke up went to get my iPod and it is still on red which ***** cause we are going n a road trip i checked the charger and no shortage no bends and be aware it says it is charging but its not help?????

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My story is working in dvd studio pro but how do I get the track to play with and without the story?

    Hi there,
    I've targetted my first button to play all and I've targetted my second button to play all: story 1. The play all option is still playing the same as the play all:story 1 option.
    Can someone please help me figure out what I'm missing here. It should be straightforward but something isn't working.
    Many thanks
    Oonagh

    Not sure if I explained my problem well at the start.
    I have a 1 track dvd and I want two play options. 1 is the play all option, the other is an interactive option where the track will stop at certain points in the dvd. I have created 2 stories for each task. However, I can't alter 1 story without it altering the other story. Therefore for the play all option, when I want to take out the property whereby it stops at certain points in the interactive play option, it takes it out of both stories. If I target the play all button to just the track without any story, it still is linked to the interactive story.
    The way I've made the story markers interactive is by putting the playback option to infinite.
    I thought I had solved the problem by  deleting the interactive story markers  in the play all story  but now when it plays through, it's not seamless where I removed these chapters and seems to jump a bit at these points.
    If anyone can shed some light it would be much appreciated

  • If I buy a MacBook Air in America, can I use it over here in the U.K. without any software problems?

    If I buy a MacBook Air in America, can I use it over here in the U.K. without any software problems?

    It is true that they are not region free with DVD's even though they let you switch the region 3 or 4 times and then it locks on the last region you choose forever.
    Software is a different story, I myself own a MacBook Pro from Europe but I install software I buy from the US.
    I have friends that own Macs from the US and they live in Europe and they don't have any problems.
    I have a friend from New Zealand with a MacBook and when he comes over in Europe he has installed European software.
    So you see, I think a software region problem if you ever have any should be extremely rare.

  • I want to print the story on a story site but all that gets printed is the home page.

    If I go to a site where readers have posted stories I want to print out those stories so I can read them in a comfortable chair and not have to stare at a computer screen. When using Internet Explorer when I click on the story and then hit ctr+p it will print out the story no matter how many pages it is.
    When I try that on Firefox all that gets printed is the home page of the site.
    By the way, my computer shop installed Firefox the other day so I don't know what version it is.

  • WRT54G2 - The story so far

    I have closed the thread "WRT54G2 setup and using Linksys software", even though all is still not well, in order to create this summary here in the hope it will help others.
    The story so far:
    Following problems with the installation of the WRT54G2 router and the Linksys EasyLink Advisor Software I have:
    1. Downloaded and installed the firmware update 1.0.03.
    2. Followed all the instructions for setting the router back to factory defaults.
    3. Reinstalled the router and the Easylink software.
    For some reason on my Avanti Satellite set up the browser address to get into the router setup is 192.168.0.1
    I can get to the setup using the Easylink software but I can't use a number of the other  options (like wireless security) as they still give the error message “Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation”. Nice though the idea is in its present state the software has limited use so I have removed it.
    I have set up the wireless section via the browser.
    So where do I stand now? The router works, however, after about 10 to 15 minutes the wireless section simply disappears. A scan for it shows it no longer exists. My wireless printer is also not available even when connected via the LAN.
    The cure is to turn off the router for a few seconds then reboot it. It then works okay for as long as I leave it on. If I turn it off for a long period (overnight) then it will always fail to operate after 10 to 15 minutes, again, but okay for the day after a reboot. Very odd!
    I have done more resets, reboots and reinstalls than I have had hot dinners but still end up with the same problems.
    For interest I am using a laptop with a Celeron (1.4GHz), 1.5 GB memory, and an ATi mobility Radeon 9700 graphics card and Windows XP home with SP3.
    I hope this helps others and someone can up with a cure for the routers odd behaviour.
    Regards

    Hi,
    Today I gave up. The wireless side of the router goes off after 10 minutes or so. A reboot brings it on again and it then works okay for the rest of the time (can be on for hours) However, I do not want to leave it perminantly on so I have returned it to the shop where I bought it and changed it for a different make.
    Regards,

  • Is there a way to report a complaint about a moderator here in the Apple Support Communities?

    I spent a long time writing a question about an issue I'm having and submitted it to the OS X Mavericks section because I couldn't find an OS X Yosemite Beta section. I got a rapid response from a member of the community who I assume is a moderator of some kind (if those even exist here) bluntly telling me:
    This is not the location for asking about the Yosemite beta. Please direct your questions to the area Apple provided to you for that.
    I tried to reply to apologise and protest that I was unable to find a Yosemite beta area, but it seems that my entire topic question has been deleted, I can only assume by this same community member/moderator. I find this action to be quite unhelpful and intimidating to first-time posters here in the community, and was wondering if there was a way to take action against this person (if they were in fact responsible for deleting the post).
    I'm not going to name-and-shame them here but if anybody could offer assistance I'd be most grateful.

    I did? I had no idea it was some big secret...
    Ok, so do you happen to know where the aforementioned '...area Apple provided for that' is??

    Nobody can tell you anything without knowing exact site and server specs, but I would suspect that naming the folder "html" wasn't the brightest of ideas, since that's usually a default (invisible) folder name existing somewhere on the server and the user not having privileges to overwrite it.

    You can't. Sprint phones can be unlocked ONLY for use on non US carriers. They can not be used on any US carrier other than Sprint. If you want to use a different carrier in the US, sell the phone and buy one you can use.

    I reset my apple ID password here on the website, but my computer isn't recognizing my new password. what should I do? I just need to update my adobe flash player but it keeps asking me for my password but won't take my new password I just updated.

    "If you've forgotten the Apple ID password how did you log in to make the last post?"
    Exactly! The password I used to log on here and write my post I figured was the same Apple ID password I would use to reset my computer login password. But my computer isn't recognizing it as the correct password so it wont let me update my login password. I have 2 user accounts on my computer.
    As far as the link you provided, I already looked to that for help earlier. It states:
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Users & Groups, click the lock to unlock it, then provide an administrator name and password. Select a user, then click Reset Password.
    I did these steps, but I don't remember my admin password. The question is: How do I reset my admin password so I can reset my log in password.
    Is my admin password the same password I use to log onto this website to post questions? If so, like I said previously, I already reset that password and my computer isnt recognizing it.
