Brightness of the new models

Hey peeps,
ive a question about the new models of the pros and airs. Is it right that the 2012er are slightly dimmer with the max brightness contrary to the 2011 models?
Its very important to me, and every experience would help me.
thanks!

no one any suggestions?
I have one. Take your 2011 MBP to an Apple store and put it right next to a new model and turn the brightness up all the way on both.
Post back with what you find.

  • I just bought a new iMac and now I am trying to use it as a screen for my Macbook pro, but it don't have a Mini DisplayPort the new model only have Thunderbolt which my Macbook don't have. Is there any way to connect this two mac's anyway??

    Screen sharing setup in 10.5, 10.6 are described by the links by operating system.  10.7 is fairly similar to 10.6.
    And if both Macs have Firewire, you can setup a Firewire over IP network for fast communication between machines.  Note if you have two different Firewire ports a 6 pin to 9 pin Firewire cable does exist.  There are no Firewire to USB cables.

  • IPad 1 Safari Crashes Constantly and getting worse day by day.  Has Apple come up with a solution?  Now I am hearing its alos happening on the newer models.  My company is about to buy a lot of tablets and I will not recommend Apple anything til they fix.

    iPad 1 Safari Crashes Constantly and getting worse day by day.  Has Apple come up with a solution?  Now I am hearing its also happening on the newer models.  My company is about to buy a lot of tablets and I will not recommend Apple anything until they fix the problem.  Granted 30 or 40 iPads is not a huge impact but i promise once the outside world hears about this BS things will change.  There are plenty of other tablets out there that do not have this problem.  At the very least we should have the option of rolling back to a stable IOS...

    I have already tried all the things mentioned above as well as other things such as other browsers etc.  Its is obviously a problem with the hardware.  I also borrowed a brand new 4th gen iPad and it does the same thing.  Even after upgrading it to 6.01.  An occasional crash is one thing and can easily be waved off but this is clearly systemic and the problem appears to be related to graphical images and videos.  Both iPads are the 64gb versions, the only difference other than model is the iPad 1 has ATT cellular.  The new version is clean i.e no other APPs loaded other than what came with it.  I have 7 more coming but im seriously considering sending them back in favor of an Android tablet or the MS Surface.

  • I want to replace one of my older Airport Extremes with the new model.  Any tips?

    I have 2 older airport extreems that are connected by a network cable.  They share the same Netrwork ID.
    I want to replace one of them with the new model as I want to use the old router on another project.
    Any tips out there for a no-issue switch?
    Should the newer and faster Extreme be connected  to the Modem or does it nt make a didfference?
    Thanks

    use the new router as your primary router with the modem - this will be a factory  install from the default configuration -   as long as you use same network name password and type a password that you used for the express in bridge mode, you should be able to plug it in and have it work like before.  just make sure that you configure everything individually and then power all devices down and repower each one individually starting with the modem then the router in the express and that should work

  • IPad 3 and older digital av adapter. It works, but is there reason to get the newer model?

    I have an iPad 3. I also have an older model digital av adapter. It's model MC953ZM/A. Although its older it still works fine with my iPad 3 even though it says it's not supported when I plug it in. Is there any benefit to purchasing the newer model digital av adapter?
    Thanks.

    Other than not getting that message, or having Apple perhaps not support it should you call or visit them asking for assistance (I don't know if they'd just tell you to get the newer adapter, but it's possible), no, there's no reason I know of to buy the newer version of the adapter.
    Regards.

  • Apple new macbook pro dosent have a disk drive. Does the older model have a problem with the disc drive and so is removed in the new model?

    apple new macbook pro dosent have a disk drive. Does the older model have a problem with the disc drive and so is removed in the new model?

    No. Apple replaced the disk drive with a solid state drive (SSD) instead. The SSD is faster the old disk drive.

  • Hi, i have a macbook air, but i want to upgrade to the new model. I want to sell my existing air, but can i wipe the memory clean of all existing content to sell it, but still update my new pc when it arrives?

    Hi, i have an Air but want to upgrade to the new model. How do i wipe the memory clean of my existing Air so i can sell it, and ensure when i get my new PC it automatically assumes the existing settings? Any help appreciated...

    First of all, as a rule you should have two backups before you do anything else. (most don't, and it's up to you).
    I would have one backup done as a Time Machine backup on an external disk, which you will use to import all settings, data and apps to your new MBA via Setup Assistant on your very first boot of the new machine.
    Second, I would have prepared, a bootable backup done via Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper on a second external disk. This you can use for unforseen problems that might be evident on the Time Machine backup (hey it happens).
    After you have these two items in preparation, then use the original system disk or flash drive to reformat and reinstall the original operating system to the old machine, cleanly. After that, it is ready for sale. If the unit is not an SSD equipped MBA, you can perform a secure wiping of the disk when you perform the reformatting.
    To reiterate.... You need a good Time Machine Backup as a source for you setting up the new Mac with Setup Assistant.

  • Should i buy macbook Pro now??? or wait for the new model in 2012..???

    i want to buy MacBook Pro....so... should i wait for the new model or???

    Your question is analogues to the same situation if you were contemplating the purchase of a new car.
    If you need one and the current model satisfies your needs, purchase it.  If the current crop does not satisfy your needs you certainly can wait for a new model, but there is no guarantee that the new model will have features that will fulfill your expectations.
    In short, your choices are dealing with the known vs unknown possibilities.
    Ciao.

  • What is the difference between the new 13" MacBook Pros and the previous version of the 13" MacBook Pro?  I purchased an "old" one from Best Buy the day before the announcement of the new models.

    What is the difference between the new 13" MacBook Pros and the previous version of the 13" MacBook Pro?  I purchased an "old" one from Best Buy the day before the announcement of the new models.

    See the specs:
    Compare Notebooks - Apple Store (U.S.)
    Compare with your model. If you are within 14 days of purchase you can exchange for the new model for the difference in price, if any. Be sure to have all the original packaging and your receipt.

  • I bought a Macbook Pro 15 last month, is it worth upgrading to the new model?

    Hi,
    I bought a Macbook Pro 15 last month (the lower end model) on interest free credit. I mainly got it for music and film editing. I was aware that Apple were about to announce a new series of Macbooks but kind of needed it then! Anyway, is it worth me selling this Macbook and buying the newer model that was just announced? I know I'd lose a couple of hundred £ through selling this one but would it be worth the upgrade?
    Also, is there another upgrade to the new models coming? I.e. will there be a smaller scale update in 6 months?
    Thanks!
    Will

  • Do you think Best buy would let me exchange my mbp 13 for the newer model?

    I just bought an open box mbp 13 from best buy on march 28th and now I see they have this new mbp with 2gb more ram and a better video card, not to mention double the hdd. I know they have a 14 day return policy, but do you think they would let me exchange the one I got for the newer one? Or is there some kind of exchange program through apple?

    That is just it I only got the usual 10% open box discount. Where I live you have two choices, the apple store (same 10% discount, if they have an open box, which they never did). Best buy also 10% off if open box. Still $100 is $100. But yeah $100 is not going to put me at 4gb ram, better video card, although it could get me a way better hdd then the newer model hehe. Really though that is the least of my worries. See I do photo editing of large raw files in Photoshop so memory and video card upgrades would be great. Oh well no use crying over spilled milk. Im just feeling like cinnamon toast crunch, because I could have got these upgrades for way less then what they will cost me for free virtually. Not too mention the video card is not even a possible upgrade.

  • Can I exchange my five-day-old MBP for the newer model?

    Hi,
    Friday before last I ordered a new 13" MacBook Pro, and I received it in the mail last Thursday. I've been using it and I love it. However, today Apple released the new MBP's with slightly better processors and graphics. The one I already have is still in near-perfect condition, as I've only had it for five days. Would I be able to send it back to Apple and exchange it for the newer model? If so, would it cost me anything... and would the increased performance be noticeable enough to be worth the cost and trouble?
    Aside from web browsing and other general stuff, I use my MacBook for design programs like Adobe Creative Suite. If I do end up being able to do some kind of exchange, I'll almost certainly go for the 2.4 GHz 13".
    Thanks for your time!

    Update: Sorry, I didn't see the other similar threads. I should have looked first.
    Apparently it's possible, since I'm under the two-week limit, but how do I go about the business? Whom should I email/call?

  • When getting a warranty replacement from apple can you upgrade to the new model?

    When you take your phone in to apple, and get them to replace it with another phone is it always a like for like replacement or can you upgrade and pay extra for a newer model upgrade?

    Roaminggnome seems to know for sure, but it sure doesn't hurt to turn on the sugar and ask. I would just say that you had been seriously considering upgrading to the 5, and then you had this problem (I think you'll be in a better position if the problem is something original to the phone, and not a 'user misuse/damage' and if you're still under warranty somehow). I mean, you have the top model 4s, a nice amount of GB, depending on the problem, they can still refurb it and make a decent amount on it, I've purchased refurb products on Apple's site, and they are still not cheap! 
    I don't know if they will or not, but it certainly cannot hurt. Just say you were really looking to upgrade and were upset when you had problem xx, before you could use it to upgrade or sell it.  Be super, super nice, and just say like, 'Are there any upgrade options rather than just getting a new 4S or refurb (I think that's what they'll send you, but it's all but a brand new phone. That's not a terrible thing.) If you wouldn't mind, offer to buy a 5 refurb. My iTouch refurb, bought from Apple, came pretty much exactly the same as a new one, the outer components are all brand new, they have the cords/earbuds, all that...the only difference was mine came in a different box....but my original box had John Lennon in it, so that might have been a special deal? IDK
    I've gotten ppl to do some 'out of the box' things they don't normally do, just by being crazy nice, and super accommodating, easy, and flexible. It surely cannot hurt to try, good luck and let me know if it works, so I can try when I return my Mini!!
