Bigger Vita storage

Just saying now, I won't being getting a Vita till the storage options available are at least 64GB....
My PSP-2000 currently has 54 GB useable, of the 64 the set up should have (of which 36 GB are currently used).
I fully plan to transfer all my movies, music, games, comics to a Vita when/if I get one, and require a minimum storage of at least what my PSP currently has.
Given that PS2 classics will eventually have games worth buying (in a couple years, if it's at the same rate as PSone classics did), I hope to see storage options of at least 120 gb within a few years, even if it means making a slightly larger vita model to accomplish it (is it really that hard to just slap a laptop HD in there? 120-ish bucks for 1 TB vs 120 bucks for a 32 gb sony SD). Power consumption would increase, but with car charger/AC plugs, it wouldn't be an issue unless you went camping or something (dropping it down to about 2 hours with optimum settings).
The pricing isn't that bad of an issue as is, but the fact that memory is proprietary does mean you need to innovate more yourselves instead of being able to rest on someone's work as memory tech expands.

What is the best external hard drive for macbook pro I think I want firewire for storage and usb for time machine

I have a macbk pro. I think a usb external drive would be fine for time machine but I'd like a fire wire external drive to store files.
Any recommendations on brand? The last recommendations were dated 2006/7
I have been waiting for a 1TB g-drive. Apparently they are special order. I did not think I needed anything larger than 1 TB to backup the 500GB internal drive.
I thought I'd get something bigger for storage. From what I have read I think its best not to partition the drive for backup and storage.
Also I'd like to have a bootable copy of my internal hard drive is that possible?

Don't know about the Best... But I have been using these without any issues...

Photo storage Ipod Touch

Hello,
Yesterday I bought my new Ipod Touch GB, everything works very well, but there is one odd thing. When I sync my photos from Iphoto to my Ipod touch, the photos become four times bigger in storage on my Ipod Touch then on my computer ... The number of photos stays the same, but the storage get's four times bigger.
Can somebody explain this to me please?
Thanks!

Help with buying the right MacBookPRO.

I have an old 2006 Ca vintage powerbook. It works after a few repairs but I cannot update. So I will have to now buy a new one.
I have many questions, but the main one is about solid state hard drive.
Two questions:
1/ Limited write cycle? What does that mean in terms of solid state? After some time does one have to change the solid state drive, even though it still partially works?
2/ Solid states don't get affected by magnets, but what about these new stronger X-rays machines in airports, .. . or even Light? I fly every two months and those new X-ray machines are very strong.
I am a creative type with low income, so I want the macbook pro to last more than 3 years. I have a large archive in London and many scans etc, so I also cannot afford to lose any info either. --Having already lost thousands of Emails more than once in Apple's mail!
The bigger the storage the better, too!
I was told that the new retina screen is more fragile, and also as great as it looks, doesn't print with the same colors. I dabble in graphics but don't print that much, plus I work on photos and video, and I wheel my laptop in a Tumi case at the airports.
Which MacBookPro would you suggest?
I would really appreciate some advice on which of the new ones to get. Solid state without retina or with retina screen? No Solid State and an inbuilt drive? I often have slow broad band, so I still like to store the many files on hard drives and in the laptop.
Prima

Go with the non-Retina 15 Inch.....The Retina Macbook Pro is quite expensive and there is no update available at the moment from Adobe and Microsoft to support the Retina Screen.
With the Retina Macbook - you can not upgrade your RAM in the future should you need more - since it's soldered in the logicboard - the flash storage is upgradeable but not worth it's price right now.
With the non-Retina Macbook Pro - you can upgrade the RAM yourself and if you think you're running out of storage space - the hard drive is also easily upgradeable.
if i were in your shoes - i would get the base 15 Inch Macbook Pro - add the antiglare Hi-Res screen if you need it and do the RAM upgrade to 16GB - That's what I did to my 15 inch Macbook Pro.

MacBook Air or Pro for Music Production

Hello!
So, I am a music producer for a couple of years now and I am working with my 5/6 years old MacBook Pro 15" with a Core2Duo, 4GB (RAM) and 160GB HHD (5200rpm - I think) and is very frustrating to be able to have multiple vst's / plugins to work simultaneously (Using Logic Pro X and Ableton Live 9).
I'm with some doubts among the MacBook Pro (15.4 ") i7 Quad-Core (2.0 GHz) with 8 GB memory (RAM) and Iris Graphics Pro, MacBook Pro (13") i5 Quad-Core with 8GB (RAM) or a MacBook Air i5/i7 with 8GB (RAM).
I do not have much money to spend at the moment, so was wondering if any of these MacBook will last me a few years?

It is not possible to change anything on the Retina models once they are purchased. Everything but the SSD/Flash storage is soldered onto the logic board (That is the main system board better known as the Motherboard). The SSD/Flash storage module is of a proprietary design and shape and although there are some companies offering replacement units for the older, original, Retina display models I don't know if those same companies will make one for the newer models. Only time will tell. But if you do repplace it for a bigger, more storage capacity, unit that voids the Apple warranty.
I also suggest you factor in the cost of the Applecare extended warranty because to fix any Mac computer once the warranty is over it is very expensive. So much so it is almost better to buy a new system. This is even more so for the Retina models because of all the component soldered to the main system board.

Air or Pro for work? Using 8-9 hours everyday

Hi, I need to purchase a laptop for work but torn between a Macbook Air and Macbook Pro.
I'll be using it for 8-9 hours everyday, which is a lot of use. I mostly use it for emails, word processing, Powerpoint/Excel stuff, web browsing, and streaming videos.
I'm thinking the Air sounds good, but I'm just worried that because I'll be using it so much that it might not last as long as the Pro.
Would appreciate any advice!
Thanks.

Old MobileMe account to iCloud?

Hello there! I used to have earlier MobileMe account and it was a different accout than my iTunes username (@mac.com). When MobileMe was closed I tried to transfer that account to my normal [email protected] account which I'm using with iTunes, iTunes Store and now also with iCloud (mobileme was [email protected]). I tried to contact Apple to have this bigger storage in iCloud because I had paid full amount of using MobileMe. But I couldn't merge there two accounts.
Does anybody know is it still possible to "join" an old MobileMe account information to iCloud account? I would like to have a bigger iCloud storage.
cheers,
-Jere

I'm afraid you can't merge two accounts. You did migrate your MobileMe account before 1 August? You can add it into your Mac in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars to be the 'secondary account' so that the email and calendars and contacts syncing can run alongside the primary account (though you can't use PhotoStream with it).
Or you could use it as your primary account if you haven't gone too far in putting data on the present one - there's no problem about having one ID for iTunes and another for iCloud: or swop them over and use your present iCloud ID as the secondary account and the ex-MobileMe one as the main account.

Was asked to create a Library. I did, but....

I recently bought a new iPod Touch, and used the existing default Library to sync the new iPod in. Since it was bigger in storage than the older one, I never really synced the old one since there wouldn't be enough room. However, when I tried to sync the old one again since I cleared enough for it to fit into that, it asked if I wanted to create a new Library. I said yes, and since then I haven't been able to locate my default Library.
I did the option of holding on shift when launching, and found the default location of the Library. When I opened that one, it was still the new one I had created. Did I end up replacing the default Library with the new one?
Also, I never really received that message before when plugging in the old iPod,

Mac Pro and HDs.

Hi, I'd like to know if I can put inside the Mac Pro 3 HD's. One for Mac OS X, one for Win XP Pro and one (bigger) for storage.
So that when I will boot it with Windows OS, it will create less problems with Mac OS X.
thanks

Yes you can have up to a total of 4 drives. I see nothing wrong with your idea at all. Not sure it will make things better, but sure will work just fine.

Suggestion on Used 'regular' MBP vs. Retina MBP 15"

Hi there,
I'm planning to buy a Used MBP 15", and is trying to figure out which way to go. I outlined 3 options for myself:
Used MBP 15" regular (none retina) of Late 2011-Mid 2012 models, with higher specs i.e. 8GB RAM, 500/750GB HDD (or get 4GB RAM and then upgrade it myself, as I heard it's very inexpensive);
Used MBP 15" Retina of average specs (8GB RAM and 256GB SSD). Would be about $300 higher than #1.
Refurbished MBP 15" Retina from Apple Store. Would be about $300 higher than #2 but with 1 year warranty.
I do not really need Retina for my purpose, but looking into it only from the future perspectives point of view (there might be a need for it in 2-3 years, and I assume resale value for those would be higher in 3 years or so). I would need speed and preferable bigger Internal storage (but can also live with 256GB SSD and the rest to be External).
As far as I heard older (non-retina) versions also more upgradable than retina ones.
What would be Apple/MBP folks suggestions on which way to go?
Thanks in advance!

For SSD-like speed:
Disk drive performance has improve dramatically compared to the disks that come in the non-Retina MBPs. For around $110 you can get a Seagate 1 TB SSHD hybrid 2.5" drive that has an 8 GB SSD cache. It provides SSD-like performance for a fraction of the cost of an SSD and with high capacity.
Installation instructions for RAM and disks are available at ifixit.com.

Porting the data from the old drive to the new one is easy:
Install the new drive in the external enclosure.
Install OS X onto the new drive.
Boot from the new drive.
Use Migration Assistant to copy data from the old drive to the new one.

When I play a song from the cloud on my iPad, is the song actually saved to the device or is it streaming it from the cloud? If saved, how do I clear the songs to not exceed the storage on my iPad since the iTunes library is way bigger?

When I play a song from the cloud in iTunes Match on my iPad, iis the track actually downloaded to the iPad, or is it streaming? If downloading, wouldn't the tracks eventually exceed my storage capacity on the iPad since my iTunes library is way bigger? Do i need to delets songs off the iPad eventually?

It is downloaded, and yes it takes up space and can eventually fill up your iPad. It's supposed to delete older tracks as the music app plays new ones and space gets low, but other apps won't delete songs and free up the space. So if you were going to say use the camera app and it was full of music you would have to delete songs manually.

How can I cancel the storage plan I just bought and get a bigger plan?

How can I cancel the storage plan I just bought and get a bigger plan?

I quote:
'If you purchase a higher-tier storage plan for your iCloud account to replace your existing storage plan (for example, a 20 GB plan to replace a 10 GB plan), the existing plan will be canceled and you will receive a prorated refund for the time remaining. The new storage plan is applied to your iCloud account and the annual payment date is updated to reflect the purchase date for the new plan.'
So just purchase the new storage level and it will sort itself out automatically.

Is the 256GB flash storage enough for me? Can I install a bigger SD?

Hi there, I am transferring from a Dell (which I love) to the Macbook Air 256. However, I'm very concerned about the storage. I've had my Dell for 10 years and never gotten near the storage capacity. It has 285Gb and I've used 215GB of it. I figured the 256 would be enough, but I've only transferred 1 year of pictures over to my MAC, and the storage space is already HALF FULL!!!! I barely deleted 50 photos, and you can see the storage space free up by a couple GBs. Does flash storage not hold as much as regular hard drives? I'm a novice at mac computers and am getting really frustrated that this computer might not hold anything. Everything is also on an external drive, but I like it all on my computer for easy access. I also heard that I can put SD cards into my Macbook air to give me more storage. Is this true and if so, where do I get that? Thank you so so much for your help!

firebox is only $30 at walmart, if you dont have a safe deposit box.
theft is more about HIDING IT than vaulting it, buy a fireproof SLEEVE on Ebay for $30 and hide it under etc etc something, very easy to do.
you can buy your own private website, which is what I do, I have several   Cost is roughly $120 per year unlimited storage..
(see godaddy.com or otherwise)
However safety has to be put in place to prevent others from accessing your data, also very easy.
Its all about redundancy #1 and #2 longevity (DVD professional archival) for very important information that cant degrade over short term and rated for at least 60+ years.
All these points are explained in detail in the link I posted you as User Tip.
Online archives
Drawbacks:
1. Subject to server failure or due to non-payment of your hosting account, it can be suspended.
2. Subject, due to lack of security on your part, to being attacked and hacked/erased.
Advantages:
1. In case of house fire, etc. your data is safe.
2. In travels, and propagating files to friends and likewise, a mere link by email is all that is needed and no large media needs to be sent across the net.
3. Online archives are the perfect and best-idealized 3rd platform redundancy for data protection.
4. Supremely useful in data isolation from backups and local archives in being online and offsite for long-distance security in isolation.
5. *Level-1.5 security of your vital data.
As for hard drives, dont make the HUGE mistake others make, only having ONE off computer copy on a HD, thats a tragedy in waiting, 2 copies is 1, and 1 is none, ....and the data on the computer doesnt count in the 2-copy scheme.
Hard Drive Warning (all makes and models)
Ironically but logical, new hard drives are far more fragile than one that has been working for several months or a couple years. So beware in your thinking that a new hard drive translates into “extremely reliable”!
Hard drives suffer from high rates of what has been termed "infant mortality". Essentially this means new drives have their highest likelihood of failing in the first few months of usage. This is because of very minor manufacturing defects or HD platter balancing, or head and armature geometry being less than perfect; and this is not immediately obvious and can quickly manifest itself once the drive is put to work.
Hard drives that survive the first few months of use without failing are likely to remain healthy for a number of years.
Generally HD are highly prone to death or corruption for a few months, then work fine for a few years, then spike in mortality starting at 3-4 years and certainly should be considered end-of-life at 5-7+ years even if still working well. Drives written to once and stored away have the highest risk of data corruption due to not being read/written to on a regular basis. Rotate older working HD into low-risk use.
The implication of this is that you should not trust a new hard drive completely (really never completely!) until it has been working perfectly for several months.
Given the second law of thermodynamics, any and all current mfg. HD will, under perfect storage conditions tend themselves to depolarization and a point will be reached, even if the HD mechanism is perfect, that the ferromagnetic read/write surface of the platter inside the HD will entropy to the point of no viable return for data extraction. HD life varies, but barring mechanical failure, 3-8 years typically.
Hard drive failure and handling
The air cushion of air between the platter surface and the head is microscopic, as small as 3 nanometers, meaning bumps, jarring while in operation can cause head crash, scraping off magnetic particles causing internal havoc to the write surface and throwing particles thru the hard drive.
Hard drives are fragile in general, regardless, ... in specific while running hard drives are extremely fragile.
PDF: Bare hard drive handling generic instructions
hard drive moving parts
Some of the common reasons for hard drives to fail:
Infant mortality (due to mfg. defect / build tolerances)
Bad parking   (head impact)
Sudden impact   (hard drive jarred during operation, heads can bounce)
Electrical surge   (fries the controller board, possibly also causing heads to write the wrong data)
Bearing / Motor failure   (spindle bearings or motors wear during any and all use, eventually leading to HD failure)
Board failure   (controller board failure on bottom of HD)
Bad Sectors   (magnetic areas of the platter may become faulty)
General hard drive failure

Suggestion for a new macbookair flash storage capacity for dual OS

I'm planning to buy my first MBA. I'll work using logic pro and office for mac. But I also have one app that need run on win7. This app size is max 200mb.
To keep my final working file, I plan to buy external storage.
My question, looking at my work needs, pls advise what is the ideal flash storage size I should pick ? Is it 128, 256 or 512Gb ? Ideal for me means, not overcapacity flash storage.
Tx all

Hi Dikanug,
Out of interest, so I can further select the best capacity of Flash Storage, how many document do you plan to save on the computer using Office and how often are you going to use Logic Pro?
This will help determine the best capacity.
Obviously the Logic Pro files will need to stay on the Mac however it is probably cheeper to have a Small Flash Storage and store any file that does not need to be on the actually Macintosh Drive, stored on a large external Hard Drive with files such as Office files.
Obviously the Logic Pro files will be anywhere from 10mb -up and therefore this will be needed to be taken into consideration when purchasing the Flash.
Just for your sake: 14 tracks of audio, 10 of which are drums and a song that is about 5 minutes long, could be at least 25mb in file capacity.
Remember once you have bought the device you cannot make the capacity bigger and thereofre it is better to have more than not enough however do not waste your money if you do not need it.

Why is my index bigger than my table ?

Hi
I am using locally managed tablespaces, with system allocation on 9.2.0.8
I have a table with some 32 columns and a 3 column index (unique key).
The 3 columns indexed are not null and all number(12) datatype.
The index is bigger than the table by a factor of almost 10.
I am not using compression of any kind.
Any ideas ?
Cheers

If the table has insert or delete activity on it then the index is being maintained and it is this maintenance that can lead to an index growing larger than the base table when the length of the indexed columns are small compared to the row length.
If one of the 3 key columns is a sequence number or generally follows an ever increasing value pattern and the delete process does not delete all values within the leaf blocks then the index will have a tendency to grow large realtive to the table.
Worse is if any of the three key values are allowed to be updated after insertion. That then becomes a delete and insert into the index.
If the tablespace was originally a dictionary managed tablespace and was converted to locally managed auto-allocate via sys.dbms_space_admin.tablespace_migrate_to_local then the storage behavior is different from if the tablespace was created auto-allocate from day one.
Calculate the expected size of the index. Rebuild or re-create it as free space ditakes and then compare the resulting size to the expected size.
