What Monitor or Monitors Should I Buy?

I just built my first Video Editing PC. i7 4790k, 16GB RAM, GTX 760...it is amazingly fast for what I need...The only problem is I have 2 older monitors. 1 is 1080p and the other is 1600X900. They are ok but different brightness, horrible colors, light bleeding. only 22". My production is starting to increase and I feel my monitor is really the short coming of all of my equipment but I don't know what to do. Next year I am getting a GH4 or other 4k Camera and I a thinking possibly the $600 Samsung 4k monitor? But I heard Windows is TERRIBLE at scaling or that it will be too tiny to use. The other is the Asus PB278Q. Either 1 or 2. I really am thinking that Monitor but are there any better ones or better Monitors setups I should have? I like the LG 34UM95 but that is WAY out of my range. I would like to keep it under 500 if at all possible.
Thanks,
Cameron

Buy an external drive 320G or larger (much larger is preferable). I do not recommend you use TM for this, instead download a copy of Carbon Copy Cloner and make a clone of your drive. Once this is done you have 2 choices, you can download and install Lion on your internal drive just as you planned or download and install Lion to the external clone, the 2nd method allows you to test the Lion install before committing to it. If the clone with Lion is to your liking then just clone it back to the internal.

What 2T external HD should I buy for my macbook pro for photos, videos and music storage?

Hello friends!!
What 2T external HD should I buy for my macbook pro for photo, music and videos storage?
Thank U!!

My personal preference is for the OW, http://www.macsales.com Mercury Elite Pro quad-interface drive...have four of them of the 2 TB size and they are very good performers. The quad-interface allows you a choice of ways to connect, eSata, Firewire 800/400, USB which is very convenient. OWC is a Mac specialist so everything has been tested and guaranteed to be Mac compatible.

I Live is Hungary in Central Europe.
Many Thanks.

I'd like to chime in and offer a differing opinion. The size factor of all SSD's don't leave much to question, but there are a couple other things that you can research and take into account.
The biggest thing to look for after the capcity you want is the connection speed. Your Macbook is last generation compatible with SATA 3.0Gbs transfer speeds, and while you can still utilize an SSD with SATA 6.0Gbs, your connection won't be able to fully utilize the full speed of such an SSD.
The upside is that SATA 3.0Gbs SSD's are selling for much less now on ebay and on Amazon since they are last generation, so you can pick one up on a budget. If money is not an issue and you'd like to spend a bit more for the latest generation SSD that you can transplant into the laptop you want to purchase after your mid 2009, a current generation SATA 6.0Gbs SSD is going to work fine and will also work great in whatever you upgrade to.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own.

The type of plugin that you need depends on the type of video file that you wish to view. We would need more details to assist.

What Mac and Features should I buy for filmmaking?

I'm going to be attending filmschool in the fall and I will be buying my first Mac(for use with final cut pro) What should I get with what features? Right now it seems like the Mac Pro is the only way to go. I want something profesional that I'll be able to use professionally after I graduate. I'll be making a bunch of shorts and a feature over the next 3 years with it. What processor speed, memory, hard drive(s), Graphics Card, Display, and other features should I order when customizing it? What should I buy seperately? (the monitor for example?) I don't want to spend more money than I have to, but I also don't want to sacrifice what I need for a cheaper price. Any suggestions? I'm looking for detailed recomendations of what setup I should get. Also does anyone know what I can use from my pc with it? Are my internal hard drives compatible with it? Oh, and I want to be able to run windows on it too, so I can run software that isn't mac compatible. Thanks for your help.

Greetings,
I'll be attending the MFA program in filmmaking at the New York Film Academy in LA. <</div>
Way to go... good luck
Ive heard that if I buy the monitors seperately that I should find two with 1920x1200 resolution, contrast ratio of at least 1000/1, and responce time of under 5 ms. <</div>
I really can not agree with that. I think it's a bit of an overkill. I run 20" Cinema at 1680x1050 and 17" Studio at 1280x1024 and it works perfectly. I can not imagine that video work would require anything more. I remember people editing in FCP on iMac and 15"CRT without any problems...
Also, is it a good idea to get two internals from apple and then an external for transfers, or should I just get the 250 gig and an external? How much space total will be a good place to start for school? <</div>
Given the HD prices nowadays, you can always add more drives. External for transfer is a good idea. At least 160G. Internals you could easily add another 500G later. As you know, MacPro has for slots internaly. You can easily save some for later 250G to start and an external at least 160G, and than later you can add and RAID two more 500Gs as a scratch... the possibilities are endless...
And how different from working with a pc is installing memory and other hardware on a mac? Pretty much the same? <</div>
Extremely easy. You can add memory and drives within minutes. Just make sure you follow the directions (memory directions are even printed inside of the front panel) and discharge any electrical static from your body (a simple static discharge wristband is highly recommendable). When installing memory make sure to follow the recommended configurations for different sizes.
Oh, and I might be a newb for asking this but whats a RAID, and what do I need to set it up? < </div>
RAID = Redundant Array of Independent (Inexpensive) Drives/Disks
Basically, it is combining multiple drives into a single unit, either in hardware or in software for the sake of gaining in speed and transfer OR data protection.
Search the forum for RAID, and you will find many useful information.
Best wishes,

It seems that my Office 2008 is incompatible with the Yosemite OS that my friend just installed on my iMac. My Word no longer works. Also, I can't access messages on Entourage. What version of Office should I buy?

My friend installed OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 on my iMac. Since then, I can barely use my Miocrsoft Word 2008. The spinning pinwheel, things freezing up, template and formatting trouble, and I can't get any Entourage messages more than a year old, which is a disaster. I read that Yosemite won't support Word 2008. What Microsoft Update should I buy, and will that fix my problems? I am desperate. Thank you in advance for your help. Here is the result I got from EtreCheck. I hope this helps you help me. BTW, your drop-down menu under Operating System doesn't work

What brand of SSD should i buy for my macbook pro 13 early 2011

im interesting in upgrade my early 2011 macbook pro 13inch ... what brand of memory ram and ssd should i buy? having in consideration speed, and quality, issues free.
thnak you
sorry for my bad english ..

Maximum Memory

I recommend buying RAM from:
OWC
DataMem
Crucial.com
I would stick to SSDs like the OCZ Vertex 3, Samsung 840, or OWC Mercury 6G. You may also care to look at the DataDoubler from OWC. A bracket that lets you install both an SSD and your existing HDD in the optical bay by removing the DVD drive.

T410 2518-EQG with broken LCD. What model of LCD should I buy?

Hello. I have broken my 1280x800 LCD on T410 2518-EQG and want to buy new via eBay. There are 2 pairs of models: 42T0729 (1280x800) (1, 2) and 42T0431 (1440x900) (1, 2). Will 1440x900 model work on my laptop? Which of 2 items should I buy?
Sorry for my English.
Thanks.

Hello mate,
I'm not sur the WXGA+ will work as the good part foryour model is 42T0729. Lenovo put a whitelist in the machine which generate an error if the part don't have the good FRU.
The only way to go around that is hacking the BIOS whic allow you to put any spare part you want but it will void your warranty.

What type of server should I buy?

I currently have a Windows SBS 2003 server. I am a health care provider with 25 computers. We have used an application that has been a DOS based program for years. We are getting ready to convert over to a cloud based practice management
system. We will still need to run our DOS based program for at least two years. The DOS program runs on a 32bit not a 64 bit. We have 8 computers running XP. So I have asked my local IT guy of 20 years what he thinks we should
go to next. I also got a quote from a different IT company. Of course they are recommending two different things I do not know what I should do.
My local guy wants to install 8 new computers with windows 8 (which my boss does not want) and all my other13 computers have Windows 7 Professional. Then he wants to install for my server SBS 2011 Standard for emailing we would use Exchange 2010.
The SBS 2003 server is an exchange server but he never set up the email portion.
This other IT company wants to install windows server 2012 standard edition R2and he would install Vmware esx 5.5 virtual server platform so that I can have 1 computer in my office that would run an Opto 32 bit server and then use a
different "server" to run my new practice management system which is a cloud based system. Plus file share anything else I want to setup. Then he wants to install Windows 7 pro on the new 8 workstaions that we need.
The quotes are about the same but I feel that I am getting more for my money with the new guy and the ability to grow. As well as maybe better security and reliability. HIPAA wants your system to have bitlocker disk encryption software. Not sure which
system has that.
Please advise I know very little about computers so when my IT guy talks he wants to talk me out of the virtual platform and I think it is because he doesn't have that much experience with the set up. Virtual server is not a hosted virtual server.
It is just the platform

Hi Alexandre,
Seems like digicert ucc certificate is costly. Earlier I used them for a year then switched to Godaddy. Its time for renewal as godaddy certificate expires in few days. Recently one of my customer referred me this cheaper price UCC certificate
at https://www.ssl2buy.com/comodo-multi-domain-ssl.php
I checked list of recommended certificate authorities by Microsoft and comodo is there, so I don't have any question about compatibility. I found this ssl2buy is comodo reseller and offer ucc certificate just for $45 discount price (regular price is $60).
I reviewed this reseller reputation and it seems good and also contacted their live support and seems everything legit.
I tried their product and it seems 100% compatible in exchange environment. I used .local domain names to add in UCC certificate but later I recognized (advised by their support team) that CA/B forum depreciated .local names in SSL.
Do you recommend we should stop accessing server with .local and hostname?

What type of interface should I buy for Roland XP60, Logic iMac set up?

Happy New Year guys!
I've been having problems finding a suitable interface for my set up. The guy at gtr ctr told me to buy Uno Midi to USB cable and that's not right. I still want to record sounds from my Roland and use it to trigger sounds in Logic Express. The Apogee duet seems cool but that won't help me either.
Please HELP!!!!
LRay

The cable should be fine but it will only record midi information into LE when you have an audio instrument selected. You can record the audio output from your Roland using the right cable to connect its audio outs to the audio in on your mac. To record both at the same time you would need both connected and an audio and midi (ie "audio instrument") track selected and record enabled.
If some of this terminology is difficult read the getting started guide and sections on audio and midi in the manual. Your Roland can be recorded as a synth obviously, as well as act as a controller keyboard and both of these functions work in different ways within logic.
You could also output your recorded midi to your roland to play back directly from your synth...
Ideally it would be good to have an audio/midi interface of some kind as you are suggesting - there are many, many, many to choose from, though in theory what you already have you should be able to get working.

What type of Mac should I buy?

I currently own a 2 year old power book g4. I would like to buy a new mac. Not sure if I should buy a imac or something else. I will use it for email, internet, office suite, iphoto, iweb, itunes, ichat, quickbooks, windows through parallels, and other things for my small business. I don't know which type of mac will be best for me and I'm not sure what forum to post in, so i chose this one. Thanks.

Hello chrisw427
Any of the new Apple MacBooks or Mac Desktops will blow right past your G4 PowerBook.
On one hand you'll get a bigger display, a little more power and greater storage capacity for your "buck" from the iMac desktop. Also you'll still be able to do the field work with the G4 PowerBook and share between the two.
On the other hand the MacBook's WOW nice!
I know that's not much help, but only you can decide on the best upgrade!

What cat 5e cable should one buy?

Some good info here
http://www.howtogeek.com/70494/what-kind-of-ethernet-cat-5e6a-cable-should-i-use/
mainly depends on your requirements...
If you are buying a lot then maybe go for cat6a which will help in the long run if going 1gb..

I came across a post asking whether people buy cheap network cables or premium cables and it was an interesting question which raised another question.
One thing that I picked up was to make sure that the cables were not CCA (Copper Cladded Aluminium) which apparently is bad.
However, the post did not really cover what what should be looking for in a patch lead.
Should it be AWG26 or AWG24. Should one use booted or non booted or strain relief for cabinets and connecting computers to network port. What other considerations should one take into account?
Any thoughts?

What kind of iphone should i buy in order to work with an spanish company as well as witn an usa one. Must it be unlocked?

I want to buy an iPhone 6 to be used in Spain and in Usa without problems. Which is the Best? unlocked? or I need more specifications

One question to ask yourself is how long you need this machine to do these tasks and what future programs/tasks will you need?
While both machines can handle everything you mentioned now, the MAc Pro will be faster now, and easier to expand in the future. The iMac will simply not be as cost effective long term. If however your needs wont change or you don't plan to use the machine more than 3-4 years, the iMac is going to get the job done and of course be much cheaper.

What anti-virus software should I buy?

I own a macbook pro and I have had it for 2 1/2 years. Recently, safari has not been running smoothly as I have often have to close pages since they will not load. I worry that I may have a virus. However, even if I do not have one, I figure that it will be more secure to have an anti-virus software on my computer anyway. I do not know much about computers but through my little bit of research, I have found that mackeeper is not a good software to buy. Does anyone have any suggestions on which software to buy as well as how to speed up my computer? Thank you.

I suggest you look here for an informed guide to concerns about viruses and malware on the Mac:
