Buying a Mac Book Pro in China.  Will english programs be any problem?

I am an American living in China. I want to purchase a Mac Book Pro but I don't read chinese characters.
Will it be easy to switch my settings to English?
Will I be albe to install software that is not from China. For example I plan on using Logic Studio. I bought the software when I was in the US. Will I be able to install it on my Chinese Mac Book Pro or will I need to purchase a chinese version?

Hi mhpapp & welcome to the forums
You'll be fine. I've purchased Apple brand computers there with no OS issues.
You can set the OS language to English or whatever and be happy. You can also elect to re-install the OS, at which time you can set the language. Note that some of the apps may only be in Chinese, in which case you may want to pick up a US distributed copy of SL.
LS will work fine. Be sure that the fonts and language you want are specified in System Preferences...see languages and keyboard.
I'd also advise welcoming most any opportunity to work with Chinese on a computer since you can obviously expect to find Chinese OS & apps on computer all around you. Look at it as an opportunity to learn the language.

  • Hi, i want to buy a mac book pro. I was wondering if the ms office suit that i will buy can be a normal version or a one that has to be compatible with mac?

    Hi, i want to buy a mac book pro. I was wondering if the ms office suit that i will buy can be a normal version or a one that has to be compatible with mac?

    It must be compatible with Mac OS X. You have to install the Mac OS X Microsoft Office version > http://www.microsoft.com/mac
    Also, you can use the PC version, but in this case, you will have to install Windows on a virtual machine or Boot Camp, so it's better to use the OS X version. There are alternatives for Office, like Apple iWork or LibreOffice, if you want to try them before

  • I WANT TO BUY A MAC BOOK PRO. MUST I WAIT FOR THE ONE WITH RETINA DISPLAY. WILL THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO CD ROAM BE A PROBLEM. CAN YOU USE A EXSTERNAL CD ROAM ON A MAC?

    Apple will gladly sell you a color coordinated and texture matching external SuperDrive to go with your Retina'ized MBP for about $80 bucks.
    Note that those models are completely sealed with no serviceable or upgradeable parts inside. So if you decide to bite the bullet, be sure to customize its guts to your heart's content from the get-go as no further change will be possible. This means CPU speed, amount of RAM and size of the solid state drive. Other external options, like the Superdrive, can be added later.

  • I want to buy a mac book pro to edit video on what computer and software do I get?

    I want to buy a mac book pro to edit video on.  What kind of specifications do I need to make sure Final Cut runs smootlhy. And do I need Final Cut studio or Final Cut X? The software is for beginners?
    Thanks

    Ok great - Im by no means a professional editor I have done a fair bit of video editing for online, presentation and awards videos in my previous jobs, and was advised by a previous trainer to get a mac and final cut pro as working of PCs and with Sony Vegas was time consuming and inefficient. I am buying a whole new set of equipment for my office and hope to get the department all trained up on it in the next year.
    I will be learning to use the software but I will need it to make professional videos in the end so I don't think imovie would be appropriate? Thanks for the advice though - I will be prepared for the learning curve.
    Any other advice on which Mac to get also much appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Buying a Mac Book Pro

    Good night,
    First of all, I am sorry if this post should not be here (this is the first time that I used the forums)
    This summer, I am traveling to New York, and I would like to buy a Mac Book Pro, and I want western spanish keyboard. I can not stay there for a long time, and I would like to know if in the Fifth Avenue store there is usually stock of Mac Book's Pro with this keyboard. If there is not stock, I would like to know if I could order it by apple online store and ask them to send it to my hotel.
    I would also like to know if I can get the free iPod touch, because I am starting my high education, but I am from Spain.
    Sorry for my English and thank you so much for your answers

    I do not think you can do this. I really doubt they stock the MBP with a Western Spanish keyboard - Apple Stores generally stock only standard configurations. For example, the Boston Apple Store (which is actually the largest Apple Store in North America), does not stock MBPs with the Western Spanish keyboard, or even with the faster processor.
    You cannot order online from the US Apple Online Store unless you have a credit card with a US billing address.

    Yes, you will be able to buy a MBP with a spanish keyboard. Have a look at the options here, for example: http://store.apple.com/us/configure/MB470LL/A?mco=MTkzOTI0Mg
    Woggledog, the OP wants to buy one from in-store stock in NYC, not to order one online.

    To reinstall the original OSX in your rMBP, boot the MBP using the COMMAND-OPTION-R keys.  The display should show a picture if the planet earth and you will be connected to the Apple servers.   Make certain that you have a solid Internet connection and follow the instructions.

    You'll have to read the terms of your warranty for India and see what your availalbe options are.
    There are plenty of service providers in India, so that's not a problem.
    Your location isn't a problem, what likely happened is your out of warranty period or you purchased the machine through another country and it got registered with a different warranty period. Once Apple discovered your in India, the warranty for that country is applied.
    For instance in the EU the warranty period is 2 years by law, so Apple has to honor that. But elsewhere it's 1 year and perhaps that's why you were denied replacement. Not because your from India, that the warranty period for machines in India is one year, like it is for everyone else.
    I guess you could fly to the EU and then make a warranty claim from there, but it's already too late, your machine and conversation with Apple was already recorded.
    Now if your indirecting asking folks here to service your machine by shipping it to the EU, you better watch yourself around here.
