About to purchase

Hi folks, mgt is about to purchase a new adobe cs 5.5 editing
system, and I was told he was going to get the Nvidia Geforce GTX 580 video card, what do you think?
Is this the right card for video post production editing?
Thanks.

The GTX 580 will definitely do a great job. If cost is important, the GTX 570 too will perform very similarly for CS5.5 and cost less.
Also, the Adobe Premiere "hardware forum" has loads of threads regarding video cards for CS5 and CS5.5 if you would enjoy more than a quick "bottom line" answer like the one that I have provided.
Good luck!
Jim

  • My wife and I each have an iPhone4 with separate Apple IDs. We are hopefully about to purchase the 4th gen iPad; can we use iCloud on the iPad with separate IDs on the iPhones?

    My wife and I each have an iPhone4 with separate Apple IDs. We are hopefully about to purchase the 4th gen iPad; can we use iCloud on the iPad with separate IDs on the iPhones?
    We would like to have all our music, photos, etc. on the iPad - is it best to create a new combined Apple ID for the iPad and simply upload our music, photos, etc. via our laptop instead? Does this not then render the iCloud useless to us?

    And just in case you were wondering, installing one purchased copy on all the Macs you own is specifically called out as allowed in the Mac OS X Lion license.
    If you do not want to download multiple times, just copy the Applications -> Install Lion app to a safe place BEFORE you do the first install.  Then copy that copy to any Mac you own where you want to install Lion.

    I'm about to purchase Lion.  My husband and I each have a desktop, iPad and iPhone.  We currently use one Apple ID for iPad/phone purchases.  Can we purchase 2 copies of Lion with one Apple ID or do we have to use different Apple IDs for the purchase?  If we use the different Apple IDs can we still use the same ID for all of our purchases.

  • What is the preferred video file format for iMovie? About to purchase POS digital camera w ability to record HD Video.

    I am about to purchase a digital point and shoot camera with the ability to record HD video.   I plan on importing all pics and video to iPhoto and want to begin creating iMovies combining photo's and the video clips.
    It seems from the many posts that .MOV is supported in iMovie, but many posts in the community seemed to suggest that .MOV does not always work in iMovie.  

    YEAH, but  "iMovie" changes the "camcorder Mts" files into "mov" files and
    this causes some lost of movie quality. To maintain the highest quality
    camcorder movie quality you must not change the "mts" files. However, if
    you want to "merge" any of your camcorder movies (and you most likely
    will) any merging also changes the "mts" files to "mov" etc., so you will still
    loose movie quality. "There appears to be no way to avoid loosing picture
    quality once you decide to change the "Mts" files to something other".

  • Please suggest me the best way to start learning about Oracle Purchasing.

    Hi,
    I have started reading about Oracle Procurement. I have an over all idea of how ERP functions. Anyhow I am like a fresher to ORACLE APPS. Can you pleasesuggest me what is the best way to start learning about Oracle Purchasing.
    Is it is throuhg user guides or some thing else..... can you please specify the references also.......
    Thank you so much.

    If you have a sponsorship, I would recommend taking classes with Oracle University. The other resources are documentation, functional and technical depending on what your interests are.
    If you can load Vision database or access vision database (I think solutionbeacon offers a free account to login and play around), that will be another resource as well.
    As you learn, join as much user groups like this one, and review all questions and answers in the discussions to understand and learn more.
    Hope this helps.

  • About to purchase new Mac Pro - Need Advice

    I am about to purchase a new mac pro and have some questions
    I am planning to use final cut pro as well as Edius on Boot Camp.
    I intend to edit footage in HDV from a sony Z1 and also from the new sony - pmw -ex3 which i will be planning to edit in HD and 24p.
    1) the default config for the mac pro is dual 2.8.ghz processors, what advantage gain will i get i upgrade to 3.0 or 3.2, is the extra power worth the money? will this give me more real-time editing
    How many layers of HD 1920 x 1080 from the sony pmw-ex3, will i be able to edit in FCP 6.0 without any problems? would you advise more ram
    2) i prefer to work from RAID 5 drives and keep system drive separate, this is how i have worked on in PC/Windows environment. Can anyone confirm if i can have one JBOD drive for the system and 3 drives configured as a RAID 5 drive?
    Will i be able to use a boot to run windows and also be able to use the RAID 5 drive on windows side?
    3) Is anyone using the 3ware RAID 5 side car? what is experienece is this compatible on the windows partition from boot camp
    4) How will i be able to preview HD footage?
    5) Do i need to invest in a better Graphics
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Here are a few answers.
    1. The Mac Pro 2.8 GHz model performs so well that it is difficult to justify paying 28% more for 7% of additional processor power in the case of the Mac Pro 3.0 GHz or 56% more for 14% additional processor power with the Mac Pro 3.2 GHz model. You might see a small 5-10% increase in performance when compressing video with the 3.2GHz model but it certainly would not be worth paying 50% more to me. In addition, Amazon has the 2.8 on sale for $2599 after an easy rebate:
    http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000VR4F2Q/arizomacinusergr
    That is a $200 savings off the retail price.
    2. If you want to use boot camp I would NOT recommend the Apple RAID card. Boot camp does not work with this card which leaves you wondering why you bought the card and how to get around this HUGE limitation. Instead, I would recommend the Areca ARC-1221x, HighPoint RR 3522 or the ARC-1680x if you want a SAS card. All of these cards have new firmware available that provide awesome performance and boot capability with the Mac Pro 2008. I would also get a SeriTek/2eEN4 4-bay and 1TB Samsung HDs. This gives a solid, quiet 4-bay enclosure that can support RAID 5 with any of the cards and you can add a second enclosure later if you want to use all eight external ports with RAID 6 (for added redundancy and increased volume size). This leaves the internal bays available for Boot Camp, Mac OS X, backups or mirrors and provides RAID 5/6 capability that can be configured to perform almost twice as fast as the Apple RAID card and provide double the redundancy with RAID 6. Links with more information are found here:

    http://www.amug.org/amug-web/html/amug/reviews/articles/areca/1680x/
    3. The 3Ware RAID 5 card is not a top pick in the Macintosh market. The options outlined above will provide much better performance and RAID 6 capabilities.
    4. You can view the the HD footage on the monitor.
    5. You may want a better graphics card but I would try the stock card first. I was surprised how well the ATI radeon HD 2600 XT card performs with Apple applications.
    Have fun!

  • About to purchase a Macbook Pro for gaming!

    I'm about to purchase a MBP and wanted to know which version do you recommend?  And also, how much memory and flash storage will I need?
    I will be using Bootcamp to run windows and I will be using the laptop for gaming - downloading games off disc and/or digitial.  In doing research, seems as if the MBP w/Retina (which has the Intel Iris Graphics) would provide better game play?  Is this the case or will the MBP work just as well (with the Intel HD 4000 graphics)?  And how much memory and flash storage would you recommend? (I will be playing/downloading games off steam, on cd, etc...)
    Thanks...and obviously I'm an amateure techy!

    In general, laptops are not gaming machines, but it's possible to do some gaming on them. Also, usually for good gaming experience you need a separate video card, integrated graphics are not so great for gaming. So, if you had to choose a mac for gaming, imo, you should go for an iMac or MBP which has discrete graphics card.
    Why is that? Because the workload of rendering 3D graphics is taken by the GPU and the CPU (sometimes distributed between them, depending on how the game was developed). The GPU specs also determine which graphics settings will be supported in games. For example, if you want this mac to be able to play a game which will be released next year, you might want to check which version of DirectX the GPU supports so that it doesn't become obsolete fast. Most game development is done for Windows, so they optimise game graphics mostly for DirectX.
    RAM doesn't help much. I have 16GB of RAM (with integrated Intel graphics), but that doesn't make my macmini run games >50FPS at the highest graphic settings. The graphics card is the most important here.

  • About to purchase an iPad3 and wish to transfer content of my iPad1. My wife will take my iPad1 How do I do this

    I am about to purchase the new iPad3. I already have the iPad1 and my wife is going to make use of it. How do I change ownership from me to her, and keep the content of my existing iPad.?

    If you want everything that's on your current iPad onto the new one, then you can first copy all purchases off the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. You can then backup your current iPad and restore the new iPad from that backup (a list of what is included in a backup is in this article - it excludes music, videos, synced photos). As the backup doesn't contain the actual apps, just their settings and content, for the restore to work completely you'll need all the relevant apps in your computer's iTunes library - otherwise the restore won't be able to install the apps and therefore their content (which is one reason to do File > Transfer Purchases, if that doesn't copy them over then you can re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519).
    The restore won't copy passwords onto a different device, so you will need to re-enter your email, router, and any website passwords onto the new iPad.

  • About to purchase a new imac

    I am about to purchase a new imac and have heard rumers about some major problems associated with these machines that Apple has not solved yet.
    Can anyone give me some advice on this....

    Any concerns you may have, should be posted over in the Intel-based iMac Forums. This area is for G5 iMac issues.
    However, You should keep in mind that these are technical support forums. *Generally, the only people posting here are those with problems.* +_The thousands/millions without problems don't ever come here._+

  • About to Purchase Macbook Pro, with reservations

    I am about to purchase a Macbook Pro, but I have some reservations I wanted to level about, and get the communities opinion. I really want leopard when it is released in October, but I'm going to school, so I cant wait till then to purchase it. I've heard there is some sort of obscure Apple policy that will allow me to upgrade to the new OS for free if I purchases the hardware within a given amount of time before the upgrade to Leopard. If true, this will cement my decision to get a Macbook. If not..... I may have to pursue a PC, unfortunately.

    hirschab,
    If I am not mistaken, Apple has offered free "upgrade" versions of new OSs to those who purchased hardware within 30 days of any new release (I know for a fact that the plan is offered, I'm just not sure of the time period).
    In other words, it is unlikely that anything you purchase now would be eligible when Leopard is released.
    However, the full "retail" version of OS X is only $129; that's all it would cost to upgrade when the time comes (of course, pricing for Leopard could be different, but probably not by much).
    Regardless of all this, it doesn't make sense that you would base your buying decision on whether or not you would get a free copy of Leopard. Either OS X is what you want, or it's not. While Leopard will have some new features, it is still OS X, and Tiger is already way better than anything else.
    Do you have some specific reservations concerning Tiger that you think would be addressed in Leopard?

  • About to purchase new mac: Migrating Logic

    Hi,
    I'm about to purchase a new mac and I don't have my original Logic disks. I've got the studio upgrade disks and obviously the serial from original logic.
    I'll have to migrate.
    From peoples experience, will I have any problems migrating Logic from my Macbook Pro Snow Leopard to Imac Lion?
    Thanks.
    Spot.

    I upgraded from Logic Pro to Logic Studio.
    So, yes the upgrade pack does have the disks needed.
    Sometimes I'm a little slow, and need to sort of say things out loud...
    Thanks for your patience.
    Spotty.

  • I got hacked and the 'Report a Problem' isn't working. Who can I contact about the purchase I didn't make?

    There is a purchase on my iTunes account made yesterday. I DID NOT make this purchase, but the 'Report a Problem' feature is not working. I am following the directions from the Help section accurately. When I logged in though, it said I needed to change my password because of suspicious activity. Who can I contact?

    Hello,
    I woke up today around 9:30 am UK Time, checked my emails on my phone and then started playing "Talking Ginger" kids game because of one of the offers, around 10:00 I noticed an email alert on top of my iphone screen about itunes receipt.
    When I opened this, it was about "Kids Song Collection" purchase reciept for £1:49.
    I was shocked because first of all my 3 years old daughter is sleeping, secondly I have security settings configured in iphone with a complex password to purchase and she does not know that password and thirdly I am using the phone and I know I didn't even open App Store or that app so how come this has happened.  I did a search on google about how to report and tried to follow the process through itunes but every time I click on "report a problem in itunes" this opens a new apple page in firefox "http://www.apple.com/uk/support/itunes/"
    Whilst further browsing Purchase History in itunes I also noticed another purchase from yesterday about "FireWorks Arcade" and this was unbelieveable because I didn't even receive any receipt yesterday about that purchase and again I am the only one who can make purchases due to the complex password known only to myself.
    I am not sure what is going on here, but clearly as per today's incident it seems that apple is loosing their control.
    Please advise what can be done here.
