And one other thing, does anyone if a newer macbook pro will soon come out?

I am willing to spend up to $4000 or so on a MacBook Pro, but I am wondering if anyone knows if there are going to be any major improvements coming along soon, like for example the graphics...
I love everything about the current macbooks pros, but I am hoping to see better graphics than 256MB sooner or later...
If someone knows for sure that there wont be any upgrades within the next two years, then I will be satisfied and will go off and buy one right away...
Thanks

No one here is going to be able to tell you when the next MacBook Pro refresh will take place. The graphics processor in the MacBook Pros was updated only about a month ago to one of the best notebook graphics processors available. The amount of memory alone is not an indicator of the graphics processor's performance. 256MB will be fine for most applications. Are you planning on running something that would require more memory?
Also... regarding your comment "If someone knows for sure that there wont be any upgrades within the next two years, then I will be satisfied and will go off and buy one right away..."... While none of us knows for sure when the next update will be... it's a safe bet that it will be before the next two years. No notebook manufacturer goes two years without upgrading their hardware. With the MacBook Pro being Apple's flagship notebook, it's safe to say that it will be updated before then. Apple tends to do major refreshes annually. But again... exactly when that will happen... and what the upgrade will be... only Apple will know.

Does anyone have a new MacBook Pro that makes a buzzing sound on startup?

My new (60 days) MacBook Pro makes a buzzing sound on startup- does anyone else have this issue? Thanks!

Keep at the Genius Bar.
For one, you have a default 1 year warranty, which you do not want to let expire.
For another, that chine is a critical part of the system, that for some is an annoyance but at least it sticks around.
At some point, they have to either fix it or give you another (at least in my opinion they will eventually have to give me on that chimes).
Make a very good clone before you go back in. CarbonCopyClone ($40 download). You will need to clone it back onto a new system eventually, I suspect.

I have 2 laptops both with iTunes installed but on one my source list includes 'Movies' and the other 'films' does anyone know why this would be?

How often does Apple release a new MacBook Pro?

I am planning on buying a MacBook Pro (unsure of the specific model right now) and I am wondering when Apple will release a new model so I can either buy the latest or buy an older one for a cheaper price. It's like getting a new phone- you buy an iPhone 5 with a 2-yr contract then the iPhone 5s and 5c come out. When I get an estimate as to when a new Macbook Pro will come out, I'll determine if I'll wait or not. This is a big decision, so I need the most accurate answer. Thanks for any help

Sorry, no one here can provide an answer.

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists

Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists follow link: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111. Have installed Bridge 5.0.2.4; Raw Ref Version 7.0.0.308; DNG converter_8_7_1.dmg; Bridge 5.0.2 Update 2. Also same problem with Lightroom which I don't normally use. Lightroom_3_LS11_mac_3_6.dmg installed.

In the link you posted it states that the Nikon 810 requires ACR 8.6 or newer.
Version of ACR are specific to versions of Photoshop. You cannot use 8.6 nor even 7.0.in CS5.
I believe that ACR 6.7 is the latest that will work with CS5, so make sure you have this installed and get rid of ACR 7.
Having 2 versions of ACR will cause problems.
You have already downloaded DNG Converter 8.7.1.
Have you double clicked the DMG file to allow you to install DNG Converter on your computer?
Be aware that DNG converter is a stand-along application and not a plug-in.
You need to open DNG converter at select the FOLDER that contain your .NEF files.
Don't open the folder and try to select individual files, it doesn't work that way.
After converting your D810 files to DNGs you can then open the DNGs in CS5
The problem is your camera didn't exist when CS5 & its version of ACR was developed.
i don't use Lightroom, but the list mentions Lightroom 5.6 as needed to open D819 so your 3.6 version of LR won't cut it.

What is the best way to transfer my music and pictures from my old PC to my new Macbook Pro?

What is the fastest way to transfer files and applications from an older iMac to a new MacBook Pro?

What is the fastest way to transfer files and applications from an older iMac to a new MacBook Pro?
I have a Firewire cable and Thunderbolt adapter, but no icons showing either Mac appear on either desktop.

The fastest way is to use Carbon Copy Cloner and a external drive formatted GUID OS X Ext. J in Disk Utlilty, then connecting to the new Mac and using Migration Assistant in the Utilites folder.
Even faster, if you can determine your going to replace all the apps from fresh sources anyway (like if the older Mac's OS X verison is old thus the apps) then just use a external drive and copy just your files to it, then connect to the new Mac and transfer over.
Some apps you can just grab the registration code and install it fresh on the new machine with the old code, talk to the developer about transfering the program, as long as it's deleted on the older Mac in the process.
It used to be Firewire Target disk mode was fastest, but since Thunderbolt came out...
Notice this support doc hasn't been updated since june 2012, no Thunderbolt info

I have leopard and want to upgrade to lion. I have a macbook about 3 years old and wonder if I should just get a new macbook pro ($$$) instead. Is it worth the headache to upgrade to snow leopard and then lion? How does lion perform on an intel core duo 2

I have a macbook about 3 years old running leopard. I amwondering ifitwouldbeworth the trouble to install snowleopardand then lion ($60.00) or just buy a new macbook pro ($$$$$$). How does lion perform on an intel core 2 duo processor?

I have Lion installed on a Mini with a C2D processor. The same Mini has Snow Leopard on another partition and there is no noticeable difference in operational speed between the two OS's. But compared to my new MBPro 17" with a 2.83GHz i7, the Mini running Lion is noticeably slower. So if you can afford anew MBPro, then I would get it because you will probably be unhappy with the performance of Lion on the older MBPro. The other benefit of getting a new MBPro with Lion is that if you have any Power PC applications currently on the old MBPro, which will not operate in Lion, then you still have the ability to use them. Many users got stung by upgrading to Lion, only to find they could no longer use the older PPC applications.

Moving iTunes and iPhone from an old PC to a new MacBook Pro

Hi, I am having some real problems. I have recently bought a new Macbook Pro to replace my old Windows PC. I am having no trouble moving all of documents and music from the old PC however I am completely stuck for what to do in transferring my iTunes and iPhone 4 content AND information onto the new itunes. I have consolidated the music files on the old pc but havent copied anything yet.
What I am looking to do is to be able to sync the iPhone to the new Mac without any of the information on the iphone being erased. Is this possible without having to pay for third party software? I have a WiFi network which both of the computers are connected to. I am also able to use an external harddrive.
I have already transferred the purchases from my account onto the new mac but a lot off my music isnt from the itunes store but is from various CD's.
I am really lost on what to do and I am even considering writing down all my contacts, lol. However, i do have all of my current iPhone info such as contacts and calender sync'd with iCloud if this helps.
Many thanks in advance,
Matt

Why does Netflix freeze my new Macbook Pro?

About a week after getting my new macbook pro I was watching Netflix and the episode froze in one spot and I kept hearing a faultering sound. I couldn't open the Task Manager equivalent and couldn't escape so I had to force shut off my computer. Now once or twice a day while watching Netflix it does this and I have no idea how to fix it. I've tried reinstalling Silverlight but nothing works. HELP!

IPhone5 rejects does not support my new MacBook Pro

My new MacBook Pro on 10.8.4 established bluetooth contact with my iPhone5, but the phone said it does not support my MacBook Pro. Why?

Dear snozdop
After 38 years with computers and programming I suddenly realize that my thoughts are not functioning in the rational way they used to behave. Things you have done as a regular habit for many years could suddenly be forgotten…
Thank you for advising me and putting me back on the track that I should have been on from the beginning this rainy early morning way up north of the arctic circle.
It also remindes me of a rule I made myself many years ago when programming: Some times it is wiser to put away the computer for a while and then in time the answers to problems will come.
Thank you again for spending time advising me of the obvious solution.

Beachball and hanging after putting old hard drive into new MacBook Pro

Hi there,
I really hope to find some help here.
The situation:
I had a MacBook Pro Early 2008 running Lion (10.7.5) until it died about a week ago (mainboard broken).
In this old Macbook Pro I had two hard drives: 128GB SSD and 1TB SATA 5400.
I bought a second hand MacBook Pro Late 2011 on ebay and upgraded the Ram to 16 GB.
Then I put the two hard drives in the new MacBook Pro Late 2011.
The Macbook is super fast and very responsive but every couple of minutes it is hanging for a few seconds or I get a beachball randomly.
This can happen in Finder, Google Chrome, Adobe Dreamweaver, basically anytime using any software.
I tried to create a new account and see if the problem persists. And yes, it does.
I tested the hard drives (disk utility) and the Ram (memtest/terminal) and all is ok with this.
The Macbook Pro Late 2011 comes with a 256 GB SSD and an empty slot for the second hard drive. The Macbook seems to function normal when using the 256GB SSD with Lion installed.
Unfortunately my external backup hard drive is not working anymore so I can't restore from there.
What do you recommend? Would it make sense to make a backup now, take out the 128GB and put in the 256 GB hard drive?
Please advice!
Thanks for any kind of help in advance!
Chris

I know people that have been doing things for longer than 10 years and they know jack. Formatting the HD is not really good "advice" in this situation.
I'm not cocksure - you just think I am because I'm disagreeing with you opinion, which you believe to be sacred (because you've been commenting for 10 years?).
So I thank you sir for your opinion but I certainly do not need your luck.
Later.

And one other thing, does anyone if a newer macbook pro will soon come out?
