About the new "8-core"

Hi! i'm in the mood of a new mac... my old G4 is to slow to handle the new studio 6.
is it worth to buy the new 8-core? will the applications use 8-core?
thanks

Most of the applications I have purchased have been using more cores than just one. So in my opinion the 8-core was worth it.
VisualHub converts movies into mp4 for my iPod Touch while using many cores, Photoshop CS3 uses multiple cores, and even BONIC (World Computing Grid) can use multiple cores but with only 1 process per core. Each program uses the multiple cores differently, but when all running at the same time everything is smooth as silk.

RAM on the new Quad core 2.5ghz G5

I am thinking about running Logic 7 on one of the new Quad core 2.5ghz G5’s. I am currenty running Logic 7 on an 800mhz G4 iMac. I have 1 GB of RAM on my iMac and I was wondering how much RAM I should get if I purchase the Quad core G5. Since there will be 4 processors, I’m sure I will have TONS of processing power for plug-ins and a high number of edits and lots of automation, but I was wondering how much it would really help me if I loaded the machine to capacity with RAM. For instance, would I ever even need more than 1GB of RAM or is getting 8GB of RAM really going to increase performance that much on a Quad core G5? I’m sure 16GB of RAM is OVERKILL. I’m hoping someone who is competent on this subject will be able to help. I already know the generic “you can never have too much RAM” answer. That’s not the answer I’m looking for. I’m hoping that someone will be able to give some guidance as to what would be overkill and what might be just the right amount. For each session, I will be recording upwards of 30 audio tracks, probably using around 15-20 plug-ins and 3 or 4 of those will be reverbs which use up a lot of computer power. I just want a stable system that will be able to last me for a few years. I’ve outgrown the capabilities of my 800mhz G4 iMac and I’m hoping that my next system will be able to last me for a while.
Thanks in advance,
David

it really depends on how you personally use logic. as a basic minimum I don't think anyone would tell you that under 1GB is a good idea. but if you never use sample based instruments, large reverb impulse responses and so on, then having more than 1GB is not necessarily going to make a difference at all.
but when you start working with a lot of VIs (particularly ones that load in a lot of sample data) and running mixes that have large numbers of plug ins in use, you will need more RAM. people often make the mistake of thinking more RAM will incrementally improve performance in some general way, which it doesn't - this is what having a faster processor does. performance improvement from RAM is more of an obvious thing, when you have previously hit a wall from working on a huge RAM intensive project.. once you remove the RAM bottleneck so that the OS no longer works with swap files, it's kind of a once-off improvement, ie, it will work as well as it can and that's that.

Two questions about the new iWeb

Hi
I've got two questions about the new iWeb.
1. Is it possible to blog online now? Meaning adding a new blog entry without having to be on your own Mac? This is a feature I've been waiting for since iWeb first was released.
2. Is it possible to choose the format of images? Earlier editions had the option to "optimize" images but that meant it changed it into .png meaning the site got a lot heavier than if .jpg was used. And since I have relatives who still only have an isdn connection I need to be able to have the website as light as possible.
thanks

Ah well... thanks for the quick answer

Question about the new Yoga 10 HD+

Hi
A few questions about the new Yoga 10 HD+ which I hope you can answer.
I bought the old model last year. Loved the design and long battery time but a few major issues made me return it.
Somewhere I read that it can't read NTFS over USB so I presume that's the same with an NTFS formatted microSD card?
Can it read exFAT formatted microSD cards?
Anyone observed issues regarding audio over bluetooth?
(I know BT isn't exactly High End HiFi but the old Yoga 10 for some odd reason - most likely a driver issue which nobody cared to fix - sounded *much* worse with quite noticeably distortion while both my phone and a cheap noname tablet I have zero fidelity issues - no matter which of my bluetooth audio devices I tried aptX or not)
So to avoid buying this only to return it too I really would like to see if I can have my questions answered before buying it.
While I love the form factor and long running time the above issues are just two mayor dealbreakers to me. Bad audio quality = no joy listening to spotify, local MP3s etc. No NTFS or exFAT = no large movies.
My old noname android tablet really could use an upgrade so I'm really curious whether this can be it or I should look at the competition and sacrify form factor and battery runtime.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
If it's not supporting either NTFS or exFAT on the microSD have anyone tried ext3 and/or ext4?
I mean with Androids Linux roots it should be a nobrainer to support at least when it comes to royalties unlike NTFS or exFAT where there *might* be some issues with Microsoft.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks!
OK. Seems I should just stay clear of this and look elsewhere
Sony for sure I know support exFAT. I'm usure about Samsung. Odd it seems so hard to find out. File sizes of +4 GB should be taken for granted - it's not 199x anymore...
Oh well. Wonder whether to just go for one from the competition or perhaps just save the money and wait until 64 bit catches on. Rumors is that the next Nexus 8 will be 64 bit... (I really don't expect an answer on this)

They can't at this time.

Where can you make a comment about the new 7.1 software update? I was dissapointed that the photos of friends that normally pop up when they make a call are no longer appearing. Just a tiny little circle with their picture in it appears.

I'm reading way to many bad things about the new Lion... is it worth it??

I'm reading way to many bad things about the new Lion... is it worth the upgrade and hassle or will this push me back to Google for e-mail, calendars and contacts? I love my Mobile.Me... Why change whats working for an OS thats not working ?

The more you read these forums the more you'd mistakenly think that Lion is generally a problem.
For every person who comes here with a problem there's many thousands who are running Lion hassle-free, including me.
I've used MobileMe since the beginning and have happily moved to iCloud, There's a couple of things you may miss from MobileMe in the short term but those things like iWeb hosting are going away anyway in June.
I suggest you join the millions of Happy Lion Users. Just back up your data in case you absolutely need to do a clean install back to Snow Leopard.

What is everyone doing about the new Mac virus?

Just read about the new Trojan virus that is aimed at Macs. Is there a solution for this?

There's an update from Apple that's been pushed out. On mine, System Update pushed this when I opened Safari. If not same for you, try running Software Update.

The on/off button on my 6th gen iPod nano recently got spoilt and I sent it back to the shop for a repair/exchange a week ago. Now I have just found out about the new 7th gen iPod nano and I am wondering, can I get the new one as a replacement?

No. You can turn your 6G Nano in to be recycled at your local Apple Store for a 10% discount towards the purchase of a new one. Otherwise, your only other option would be to sell the iPod on Craigslist or eBay and use the proceeds from the sale towards the purchase of the new 7G nano.

Very excited about the new update - Thanks Apple for the keyboard update with new emojis! But why are there no ethnicity options for the families?

D.p.middleton the Adobe Application Manager has been available for quite some time. It not only allows Creative Cloud users to install their applications but also downloads and applies applicable updates. In addition it is also responsible for the licensing and managing your agreement to the terms and conditions of the EULA.
2. this could be due to you selecting a trial subscription to the Creative Cloud? If you go to one of the Adobe Creative products and select Help>Updates it will launch the update portion of the Adobe Application Manager which I believe is the portion you are looking for?
#3 I believe this was already mostly covered in the answer to #2.
#4 the Adobe Application Manager also receives periodic updates which affects both perpetual and Creative Cloud subscription users.
I hope this provides you many of the answers you are looking for? If not please feel free to respond back with any additional inquiries which you have. Also if you are experiencing any difficulties with the update process please post this as well. It may not be necessary to have a full understanding of the inner workings of the Adobe Application Manager to help you resolve your difficulties.

Question about the new i5/i7 processors

I have been wondering if anybody had a definitive answer as to whether the new i5 and i7 processors are the desktop chips or their mobile counterparts? I know previous gen imacs use mobile parts but I've heard conflicting reports about the new 27 inch imacs. Some people say they are using desktop parts now while others claim they are still mobile processors...does anybody here know? I can't seem to find the information because I'm not really a techie so I don't really understand intels system for identifying their processors. The reason I ask is I recently placed an order for the i5 imac, I was comparing some i5/i7 benchmarking tests and ultimately decided the i5 was more than up to the job...however, now I don't even know if I was comparing the right chips (I didn't know there were different versions of the i5 and i7). Also, I had some concern with the heat issue, from what I've read the i7 produces tremendous heat so I also factored that in to my decision. I know Apple makes quality stuff (I love my MBP) and they placed the GPU and CPU on opposite ends of the imac, AND it has 3 fans AND the back is basically a HUGE heatsink lol...but I still wonder if the heat will cause the i7 to have a shorter expected life than the i5?(which is also pretty hot I guess). I thought I had my mind made up but this is turning out to be a very confusing process for me. If heat will effect the life cycle with only a relatively small power boost I'll stick with the i5...but if the versions of the chips they are using are mobile or not going to have this problem than I don't know what to do lol. Also, could you replace the i5 with an i7 later on down the road? AHHHH....can somebody help I'm spending so much money here I don't want to make a mistake :/

thanks for the help everyone. After reviewing all the information I think I'm gonna go with the i7...it will be $180 for me because of a student discount so in the end I guess thats not too much to pay for the increased speed and hyper-threading (which I probably will see no benefit from now but down the road...who knows). I had to cancel my order for the i5 anyway because after going into the Apple store last night to fondle the 27 inch imacs (which I hadn't seen in person yet) I realized I did not like the new keyboard ( don't get me wrong its a nice product but I use the Adobe CS4 software for digital art and animation so so lacking a numerical keypad for keystroke shortcuts is a little impractical for me).
Since I had to cancel and reorder anyway I'm now thinking I may as well upgrade to the i7 and be done with the doubting my decision lol. I haven't pulled the trigger yet but I will probably order today. Apparently the i5 and i7 have the same wattage so I guess if one will overheat the other will too so that kills that debate in my my mind.
BTW if anybody has not yet seen the 27 inch imacs in person yet they are behemoths...beautiful behemoths. I can't wait to have that much canvas space to paint in Photoshop.
Thanks again everyone.

Does itunes work with the new intel core duo processor?

i want to go buy a new laptop and the one I have in mind has the new intel core duo T2300 or the T2400 processor. Can i still download itunes onto this computer? Does it meet the requirments becuase the download page says you need a pentium or BETTER? The new macs are putting them in their computers, but will the windows and intel duo be able to support the itunes application?

are you asking if it is compatible meaning will it
install/run or are you asking if flash is
optimized to take advantage of this particular setup?
