Comparing the old and the new

Would somebody be able to advise a new MBP owner on whether there is a huge difference is speed between
Mid 2009 MBP 15" Core 2 Duo 2.66 w/8gb ram
and
Mid 2010 MBP 15" i5 2.53 w/4gb ram
I work mainly in Adobe CS5 and have an opportunity to upgrade to the new model but with less ram, is it worth the move? Is there really that big a difference in speed between the two machine or is it just marketing hype.
Any advice is welcome.
Thanks

Hi, Josh. The newer model uses the same RAM as the older one, so you could simply swap the RAM between the two machines and have 8GB in the new one. It would be perceptibly but not dramatically faster than the old. More importantly, it would be more future-proof than the old one: three years down the line, it's more likely to be able to run the newest versions of upgraded software than the Core 2 Duo is.

IWork '06 there's an Old and a New on my MBP

Looking down the Application list I have two iWork '06 folders with one of them saying 'from old Mac". I used Migration Assistant to transfer over. Both are the .0.1 variety. Software Update did v2 updates twice I think which I thought was odd.
Anybody know if I can trash the "from old Mac" versions? I use Pages regularly and it is the 'old' one that has the most recent "Last opened" date. I don't imagine I need both copies of both programs. Anyone with knowledge?
Oh, this is a new MPB 17 migrated from previous PB G4 17

Eddie,
Fire up the new version and make sure it works well. If so, then just drag the "from old Mac" folder to trash.

HT201266 Any way to delete old and add new credit card pmt on iTunes without old card security code?

Shredded old credit card because it expired. It was the card used for iTunes purchases. Cannot add new credit card info without first inputing security code from old card. Any suggestions how to remove the card without the code? Or perhaps add the new card and make it default payment method?

Call and ask your credit card issuer.

SCOM 2012 R2 Agent Deployment - Uninstall Old and Install New

By chance anyone come up with a scripted method for removing an existing SCOM 2012 SP1 agent and installing a new 2012 R2 agent? While I've come across a few scripts I'm trying to kill a few birds with one stone. This is a cross-domain attempt where the
SCOM servers sit in one domain and the member servers are scattered across multiple domains. Member servers range from Windows Server 2003, 2008, and 2012. In most cases the servers have the 2012 SP1 agent installed and in some cases there are multiple management
groups from previous SCOM standups. In addition there's a separate DEV SCOM 2012 R2 environment to manage DEV/QA servers. Active Directory Integration is configured and I have the necessary security groups created. There is a group policy created which is
filtered to just that security group. So the plan is to simply drop the servers into the correct group and have the agent installed via group policy start up script. ADI should have DEV servers appear in DEV SCOM and PROD in PROD SCOM.
Although there are ways to facilitate agent deployment via the console I need to perform a staged migration against a ton of server so as to not impact the existing production environment. So I'd rather do this remotely to pre-selected servers. This process
should involve removing the existing agent, installing the new one, and if possible removing any existing management groups. So far I've come up with the following:
Uninstall SCOM Agent:
%WinDir%\System32\msiexec.exe /x <path>\MOMAgent.msi /qb
Install SCOM Agent:
msiexec.exe /i \\path\Directory\MOMAgent.msi /qn /l*v \logs\MOMAgent_install.log USE_SETTINGS_FROM_AD=0 MANAGEMENT_GROUP=<MG_Name> MANAGEMENT_SERVER_DNS=<MSDNSName> ACTIONS_USE_COMPUTER_ACCOUNT=0 ACTIONSUSER=<AccountUser> ACTIONSDOMAIN=<AccountDomain>
ACTIONSPASSWORD=<AccountPassword>
Remove Management Group via Script
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Remove-a-Management-group-336c849a/view/Discussions#content
I'm guessing this wheel has already been invented or maybe there's a better way. So I'm open to ideas or suggestions.
Any responses appreciated.

Wow! 4 days and no responses, not good Microsoft SCOM Community. So here's a status on this issue.
As stated I have Active Directory Integration configured which means:
I see the OperationsManager container in AD: dev_scom
I see the HealthService SCP and separate OU's for each of my management servers.
I have an ADI security group containing my management servers and scom action account.
I have an Agent security group which will contain servers the scom agent will be deployed via group policy.
I also have an AD LDAP query set to target the SCOM agent group.
(&(objectCategory=group)(name=DSCOM_ADI))
I finally get the script to install via the following steps:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc770556.aspx
http://blog.coretech.dk/msk/install-a-scom-2012-agent-silent/
1. Launch Notepad ++ and enter the following:
msiexec /i
\\server.yourdomain.com\opsmgragent\%Processor_Architecture%\MOMAgent.msi USE_SETTINGS_FROM_AD=1 MANAGEMENT_GROUP=DEV_SCOM MANAGEMENT_SERVER_DNS=YourSCOMsrvr1.yourdomain.com ACTIONS_USE_COMPUTER_ACCOUNT=0 USE_MANUALLY_SPECIFIED_SETTINGS=0 ACTIONSUSER=svc_dscom
ACTIONSDOMAIN=yourdomain ACTIONSPASSWORD=YourPassword! AcceptEndUserLicenseAgreement=1 /qn /l*v c:\scom2012r2mmainstall.log
2. Save the script to a name of your choice. For me it's installdopsmgragent.cmd. Watch the extensions as you may end up saving it as installdopsmgragent.cmd.txt.
Note: Make note of this steps in the reference articles listed above:
"In the Add a Script dialog box, do the following:
In the Script Name box, type the path to the script, or click Browse to search for the script file in the Netlogon shared folder on the domain controller."
It's been a while since having to use a startup script so it took me a minute to figure this out. "getting too old 'fer this..."
3. Copy the script to the Netlogon folder which is located in the following directory on my Windows 2012 server: E:\SYSVOL\sysvol\yourdomain.com\scripts
4. Launch the group policy management console, create a new policy, edit it, and navigate to the following location:
Computer Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Scripts (Startup/Shutdown)
5. Double-click Startup to open the Startup Properties window.
6. Click Add and browse to the location of the script which you copied to the Netlogon share.
7. Click OK to close the Startup Properties window.
8. Close the Group Policy Management Editor.
9. Link the policy to an OU containing the servers.
10. Add the SCOM Agent group to the Security Filtering area of the group policy. I also remove Authenticated Users.
Note: make sure you have a few test servers in your Agent security group.
11. Drop to a command line and run gpupdate /force. You can also use gpupdate /force /sync but you will have to reboot the box you're running this from.
12. Log into one of the servers you have slated to deploy the agent to, drop to a command line, and run the same gpupdate command.
13. Follow this with a gpresult /r command to ensure that you see the policy applied in the Computer Settings area.
14. Reboot the server and you should see the startup script run.
15. Log into the server and launch the Control Panel.
16. If all went well you'll see the "Microsoft Monitoring Agent" icon.
17. Launch Event Viewer, navigate to the Operations Manager events node located under Applications and Services Logs and validate the logs.
17. If all didn't go well check the error log located, for me, on the C:\scom2012r2mmainstall.log
My issue: I don't see the management info in the Agent properties.
I installed this last night and waited until the next day still no changes. Event logs show the following:
Event ID: 2011 The Health Service did not find any policy in Active Directory
Event ID: 2003 No management groups were started. This may either be because no management groups are currently configured or a configured management group failed to start. The Health Service will wait for policy from Active Directory configuring
a management group to run.
I see the HealthService is Running in Task Manager on this server and of course I don't see anything listed in the Management Groups registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HealthService\Parameters\
I don't want to manually add the management group info. Checking as I may have missed something in one of the switches.
Any responses appreciated.

Old and a new iclould account

my old email account is linked to my previous email account that I do not have access to.
I am trying to delete it, but it keeps saying invalid password. How do I switch to the new account if I cannot access the old one?

You can't and should NOT.
There is no reason to EVER have another iTunes account or Apple ID. You can change to Apple ID if your valid email address changes, but the account is still the same.
I have 2 iPads, an iPod touch and all use the same Apple ID, but have different content.
Just set set up the phone as NEW with the ID you have now.
Sync only the content you want onto the phone.

How does one combine the history from two different profiles, so that my current profile will show both my old and my new history

No details

You can't do that.
The best that you can do is to copy and paste the history items to a bookmarks folder and export the bookmarks to an HTML file.
Then you can import that file in the other profile.
If both profiles are on the same computer and are open at the same time then you can use the clipboard to do the C&P.

Comparism between old and new MacBook Pro

Hi!
I have a first generation MacBook Pro1,1 (Core Duo Intel, 2Ghz, 2Gb RAM) and would like to know if I will gain much in oerformance if I buy a new one. Has there been any great performance improvements since my model?
Thanks!

There are definitely performance gains but how much is a matter of perspective and subjective to the end user, IMHO.
There's a couple of sites you might wish to visit for more info:
http://www.barefeats.com (they offer comparisons based on performance via applications, games, between computers, etc.)
http://www.primatelabs.ca/blog/ (they offer a benchmarking app and posts their results on their blog page)

Comparing the new imacs

Is there a thread out there discussing the 3 new iMacs and how different they really are (besides the difference between 20" and 24")? I've been told that the difference in processing is not great, so I just just get the entry level iMac. This is music to my ears if true, but I don't want to get something and then regret it later because it is too slow. FYI, i mainly plan to use it for music, using Logic Express 9.

Since music creation is not graphically intensive, the main performance difference becomes the three processor speeds, 2.66 - 2.93 - 3.06 GHz.
The difference between 2.93 and 3.06 is very small (with a $150 difference in price), so the real choice is between 2.66 and 2.93, where there is a $300 difference in price. Based purely on those numbers, that is about a 10% difference in clock speed. The real world difference in performance is probably less. So is 10% worth $300?
Since the main difference in those two models is the graphics hardware, there is one other consideration related to Snow Leopard - OpenCL. This is something new in Snow Leopard that allows developers to off-load processing that in not graphics-related to the graphics hardware (the GPU). Both the GeForce 9400M (in the 2.66 iMac) and the GeForce GT 120 (in the 2.93 iMac) are from NVIDIA and both support OpenCL. But the GT 120 is a better GPU, so presumably, the impact of OpenCL will be greater. Whether Logic Express 9 makes (or will make in a later version) extensive use of OpenCL to speed up its processing, I do not know.
(My inclination would be to save the $300, if you are not doing stuff that is graphically intensive such as high-end video editing and/or gaming.)
If you are near an Apple Store, you may want to visit and try using Logic Express on their display iMacs. Logic is an Apple application, so I'm sure it will be installed. Wait until Snow Leopard is released this Friday, so that those display iMacs are running Snow Leopard.

De-register old and register new ipad

hello. I'm selling my current ipad air and am buying a new one (more memory!). How do I go about de-registering my current ipad, and registering my new one, when I get it? Is there anything else I need to do with the current one before I sell it? thanks in advance.

You can log out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store, and you can log out of iCloud via Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (with iOS 7 and Find My iPad an iPad will remain tied to an account unless you log out). You can then remove your content from it via Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
But before you remove your content connect it to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy all of your iTunes downloads over (no iTunes downloads are included in a device's backup, an iTunes backup picks them up from your iTunes library, a cloud restore will download those items that are still in your country's store and which can be redownloaded in your country), and take a backup (File > Devices > Back Up).
You can remove the iPad from your account via https://supportprofile.apple.com/

Error printing with Windows 7 even after unistalling old and installing new driver

I recently updated to 64-bit Windows 7 and cannot get my HP OfficeJetJ4580 working after the upgrade. I uninstalled all prior printer drivers and ran the recommended software from the HP site to ensure there were no remaining drivers on my system, then installed the updated drivers for use with WIndows 7. The driver isntallation said it was successfula dn that my printer was ready for use.
When I try to print, the job is sent to the print que. The print que immedialtely notes "Error printing" and deletes the job from the que. The printer never responds or tries to print. This happens with anything I try to print, including a test page. No error message is dispalyed on my screen. The only way I can see the error is by opening up the print que and looking at the pending jobs. I went to the HP support center and downloaded and ran the printer diagnostic sofware they had on there. It could not detect any problems with the printer.
I am at a complete loss as to what to try next.

Hello PPN, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are running into installation issues. I would like to help.
I would suggest Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once it is uninstalled, I'd recommend putting your system into clean boot mode within the Microsoft configuration. You can do so by following this document: How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
After the computer has been put in clean boot mode, I would suggest reinstalling the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

After I have matched my library to iCloud and have downloaded the new, supposedly better, files, many songs do not play completely through on my ipod. Why?

So, I signed up for Match because I wanted to upgrade my music files and replace broken, incomplete ones with clean, reliable ones from Apple. Out of 16,660 songs in my library, only 648 weren't matched, which is just under 4%. I consider that to be pretty good, especially since I have a lot of covers and less popular music. BUT, now after going through the Match 3 step process (which took a week the first time), deleting my original files and replacing them with the supposedly better files that were matched, I now have many songs that are not playing all the way through. Now, here's the weird thing: I deleted the offending songs from my iTunes, downloaded another copy of the file (which may or may not have been from the original source) and matched the newly downloaded files to Match. When comparing the newer, upgraded Match file to the supposedly identical older version, most, but not all of the time, the newer version is several seconds longer than the old one. This makes sense since the ones that play incomplete generally stop a few seconds before the end of the song. But, this process of deleting and replacing songs is a pain, especially with the need to go through the upload/download process. So, here's the thing: I thought that the matching meant Match was matching my songs to the same songs in the iTunes store inventory. So, how do I end up with different lengths???? Especially since these are the files in the Cloud, not the ones I downloaded.
Judging from the many blogs I've read, this song cut-off issue is prevalent and, it appears, Apple hasn't seen fit to address it. So, is there a fix, other than the process I go through?
Thanks!

Your milage may vary, but while downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked. This seems to help with partial downloads...

Old and New Lenses - Not Sure What I Want

I have a new T5. It came with an 18-55 IS lens. Light, lots of plastic. It's ok for my noob skills.
When I was last into photography 8-10 years ago I had an Élan II with Canon EF 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5 II USM and 100-300 USM lenses.
First, I'm not sure how well the old lenses work on the new digital camera. Second, the older lenses are heavy compared to the 18-55.
I hike and like to bring a DSLR with me to take photos of nature.
I'm not sure if I should sell the lot and get one walk around lens, or maybe 2 prime lenses. Or keep the three. I only take one lens when I hike, though I could take the 100-300 as a second lense should any wildlife be around.
Thoughts?

After spending more time hiking and snapping photos with the stock lens on the new T5, I decided that I really only want one lens, and a lens that has decent range, but not so much that it ends up being a cheapy lens with poor IQ. Also, I use the cotton carrier strapshot on my hiking pack and didn't want a lens that is so heavy it affects the fit of my pack. I visited my local camera shop and they gave me decent trade-in value on my two old and one new (stock) lens (I'm not a collector -- happy to get rid of them). Those come off the price of the new lens before tax, so even better. I went with the EF-S 18-135 3.5-5.6 IS STM lens (on sale -- black friday...in Canada, eh). With the crop factor of my camera the focal length is of course longer than stated. Got a good hoya filter on sale to put on it. I like the fast and silent autofocusing, the improved range over my stock lens and the feel of it on the camera in my hands. Will hopefully go test it out today!

Is the new iMac faster than my PowerMac G5 dual 2Ghz?

I have a PowerMac G5, Dual 2Ghz (first generation model)
2.5GB Ram, and a ATI 9800 Pro 256mb Graphics Card.
Looking at the SPEC ratings on the Apple page, the new iMac (2.0Ghz model) scored...
SPECint_rate2000 = 32.6
SPECfp_rate2000 = 27.1
And according to http://www.apple.com/lae/g5/ the dual 2Ghz scored...
SPECint_rate2000 = 15.7
SPECfp_rate2000 = 17.2
Doesn't this mean is roughly twice as fast? Does SPEC just measure the processor or the whole system?
And how does my ATI Radoen 9800 Pro 256MB compare to the ATI Radeon X1600 256MB?
Thanks!

I agree. Specs are great and certainly are helpful in comparing the new MacBook to the new iMac as they are quite similar. What's really interesting is how PowerPC coded apps will compare to their universal binary equivalents on the new machines. I for one am curious to see how the universal binary of FCP Studio runs on the new iMac vs today's PowerMac. While people have been using FCP tools on G5 iMacs and G4 PowerBooks, performance isn't nearly as good as the same app on a Dual or Quad G5 PowerMac. It could usher in a whole new segment of Pro tools users who can get good performance from a less expensive option like the new iMac.

Will the new Retina MacBook Pro outperform a standard MBP with upgrades?

I'm after a new MacBook Pro 13" but don't mind too much about a retina display (music production and sound design is my thing) - I just want it to be as fast as I can afford. I've been comparing the new Retina models with a standard MBP upgraded to the same price area as the Retinas.
Here's the specs I'm interested in:
MBP Retina
Processor: 2.4 GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 (Turbo Boost up to 2.9 GHz) with 3MB shared L3 Cache
RAM: 8GB
Storage: 256GB PCI-e-based flash storage
MBP Non-retina (with some upgrades)
Processor: 2.9 GHz dual-core Intel Core i7 (Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz
RAM: 8GB
Storage: 1TB Serial ATA Hard Drive @ 5400 rpm.
Which will peform best? Does the flash storage makes the retina faster while the hard drive on the standard MBP negate the upgrades?

Yes, yes and yes.
"Also am I correct in thinking that my 2008 early Mac Pro has more processing power than the new macbook I am looking at?"
You MUST be joking! LOL!
There will be NO COMPARISON as far as speed, processing power, etc.
You are looking at about a 40% performance boost on the CPU, alone, never mind the boost in RAM.
Coupled with the speed of the drives in the MBPro, you will also notice that your insanely complicated projects that typically take a few minutes to load, will actually load in mere seconds.
GO FOR IT!
