Concerned about new ML....should I wait?

I want to buy 15" MBP or Air but am concerned about the new ML op. system. Overall, are people pleased with ML on a brand new machine (not an upgrade)? Would it be wise to wait for problems (as seen on Support Discussions) to get worked out?
I'm a creative director and do writing and some design work, which means I'll be running Creative Suite on my next laptop. The light weight and curved wrist rest of the Air appeals to me but I'm wondering about the speed of the MBP over the Air. I'd love to hear opinions on which new MacBook to buy.
What is difference between flash storage vs  hard drive vs solid state drive? What is a Super Drive? Duo vs Quad core? Headphone port vs Audio In/Out?
Also concerned about ML eating up time available when on battery only. Is this true on new MacBooks or just upgrades to ML on older machines?
Thanks!

A hard drive has spinning platters and, opposed to an SSD, is very slow. SSDs and flash storage are pretty much the same - an SSD is simply flash storage enclosed in a case that will fit in a standard hard drive slot. Apple's prices on SSDs are outrageous. If you get a 15" you can buy a similar SSD that Apple sells for much less.
A SuperDrive is simply a drive that allows you to read and write optical disks (CDs and DVDs). I consider mine a must but some people rarely use them and opt for an external optical drive - from Apple or a third-party. I use mine primarily for archival storage but also ripping the occasional CD to iTunes or watching a movie. Some can do without a built-in SuperDrive and just use an external, some, like myself, prefer to have it built-in.
A quad core processor simply has four 'mini-processors' built into a single processor. A duo has only two. The quad core is much faster than a dual core.
The Air (and 13") have a single audio-out headphone jack. The 15" has both audio in and audio out jacks. I prefer the latter.
Also concerned about ML eating up time available when on battery only. Is this true on new MacBooks or just upgrades to ML on older machines?
The problem with low battery life first crept up with Lion and then got worse - for some users - after the Mountain Lion update. I haven't had any problems but a number of users have and there seems to rhyme nor reason - it's not specific to any one model of machine nor software application. Apple knows of the problem and is, presumably, working o a fix. You probably have something like a 1 in 100,000 chance (if that) of having problems with your battery life.
I also run CS6 on my late 2011 15" MacBook Pro - the CS6 Design and Web Premium suite. It's quite speedy on my machine (but then I have 16Gb of RAM and a 512GB SSD).
Hope I was able to answer a few questions...

  • Want to buy new iPod-should I wait???

    I'm trying to decide between buying a new 5g iPod, either the 30 GB or 60 GB version. I am reading about the problems people are experiencing with the new firmware update and song skipping and the like and am wondering if I should wait a bit until Apple fixes some of these problems.
    Could people share their overall experience with the iPod and whether it is wiser to get the 30 GB or 60 GB version? I was leaning toward the 60 GB iPod. What about experiences with video playback?
    Any feedback would be GREATLY appreciated!!

    Hi Sandy
    I didn't have any issues with the update at all. I was very wary as I do use the video feature a lot but I had no problems with it.
    I never used the TV show category so I can't comment on that really. There aren't any TV shows on the UK iTMS so I have yet to see if that would cause a problem. In all honesty I probably wouldn't buy them from there anyway. I much prefer to rip my own and so far there are no problems...

  • Notifications About New Features Should Be In WebOS!

    Palm,
    Please listen, we all love your updates especially when new features like contact addresses can be launched in Sprint Nav. And I know from listening and personally talking with Jon Rubinstein how much he cares about the customer experience. But most of your customers like my mom or sister wouldn't know that update 1.3.5 had this new feature. I personally knew about it's existence but had to search on how to toggle between the two.
    It's important you show off exciting new features and how to use them. My suggestion is to have pop-up tutorial after an update that says something like, "WebOS has just updated and there are new features on your phone now. Press here to learn about them." This would launch an animated guide. Otherwise the only way most people will find out about them will be by accident if at all.
    Please make this happen and thanks for all the great work.
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    I agree with you. A lot of easter egg features. I think some people like that, but for the common user who does not like searching for these hidden things It can hinder there experience. 
    I don't know if I would like the tutorial on the phone idea though. I mean in theory its nice, but those will add to the download time. And sometimes when those updates are released, they don't exactly come speeding fast regardless of wifi or not. 
    I think instead what would be nice, with the ability to watch flash in the web browser coming soon, maybe just include a link that pops up, or one you can click in the Update App that directs the browser to a flash showing the new features. Would not force everyone to download extra files, and have the option of viewing it from any PC if you want. 

  • Concerned about "Charge Remaining" should i be worryed

    I got my MBP back in august and im worryed about the battery under battery information the following is display.
    Charge Information:
    Charge remaining (mAh): 1134
    Fully charged: No
    Charging: No
    Full charge capacity (mAh): 5997
    Health Information:
    Cycle count: 166
    Condition: Normal
    Should i get my battery replaced or is this okay?

    Hi JediZenMaster,
    THe "charge remaining" figure simply tells you how charged up the computer is at the present moment (charge it , it will go up, use it on the battery, it will go down.)
    The figure that tells you more about the health of your battery is the "maximum charge capacity". In your case it stands at roughly 90% of the original capacity, after the equivalent of 166 charge "cycles".
    This is OK, but it sounds to me as if you are probably using the battery fairly heavily, charging up every day and then running right down again, to have run up 166 cycles since last August. THis isn't really the best way to treat Lithium batteries if it can be avoided.
    You might find it worth reading neuroanatomists excellent battery FAQ at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1764220 and Apple's own information about notebook batteries at http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html
    (whoops, sorry for repeating you stedman - went off and had a cup of tea in the middle of writing the response and didn't know you had posted)
    Cheers

  • Want new ram and hardrive, should I wait till leporad comes out?

    I want to buy some new memory and a new hardrive should I wait till leporad comes out to do that?

    There's lots of time this question about waiting for a new OS comes up and I usually reply that it depends on many factors.. However there's no compelling reason to wait for Leopard to upgrade RAM or your HD.
    If you need the increased performance of added RAM or the increased space of a new HD then do it. I really don't see what would make much difference whether you're running Tiger or Leopard.

  • I dropped my iphone 5 in the toilet about 3 hours ago, I've had it in a bag of rice since. I tried turning it on, but nothing. How long should I wait before i go get a new phone?

    I dropped my iphone 5 in the toilet about 3 hours ago, I've had it in a bag of rice since. I tried turning it on, but nothing. How long should I wait before i go get a new phone?

    If water drained out of your phone when you pulled it out of the toilet it is most likelyh dead.  Stop trying to turn it on or plugging it in.  You really need to put it in a bag of rice for 3-4 days and just leave it alone.  It will take that long to get it totally dry to see if it is going to come back to life.
    Good luck, but since you tried to turn it on, and plugged it in while it was probably still wet inside I would not count on it surviving.

  • Should we be concerned about this?

    We were reading about this virus that effects 10.5.6 here.
    Should we be concerned about it? How real is it? Thanks.

    No viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions.
    It is possible, however, to pass on a Windows virus to another Windows user, for example through an email attachment. To prevent this all you need is the free anti-virus utility ClamXav, which you can download from:
    http://www.clamxav.com/
    However, the appearance of Trojans and other malware that can possibly infect a Mac seems to be growing, but is a completely different issue to viruses.
    If you allow a Trojan to be installed, the user's DNS records can be modified, redirecting incoming internet traffic through the attacker's servers, where it can be hijacked and injected with malicious websites and pornographic advertisements. The trojan also installs a watchdog process that ensures the victim's (that's you!) DNS records stay modified on a minute-by-minute basis.
    You can read more about how, for example, the OSX/DNSChanger Trojan works here:
    http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/trojanosxdnschanger.shtml
    SecureMac has introduced a free Trojan Detection Tool for Mac OS X. It's available here:
    http://macscan.securemac.com/
    The DNSChanger Removal Tool detects and removes spyware targeting Mac OS X and allows users to check to see if the trojan has been installed on their computer; if it has, the software helps to identify and remove the offending file. After a system reboot, the users' DNS records will be repaired.
    (Note that a 30 day trial version of MacScan can be downloaded free of charge from:
    http://macscan.securemac.com/buy/
    and this can perform a complete scan of your entire hard disk. After 30 days the cost is $29.99. The full version permits you to scan selected files and folders only, as well as the entire hard disk. It will detect (and delete if you ask it to) all 'tracker cookies' that switch you to web sites you did not want to go to.)
    A white paper has recently been published on the subject of Trojans by SubRosaSoft, available here:
    http://www.macforensicslab.com/ProductsAndServices/index.php?mainpage=document_general_info&cPath=11&productsid=174
    Also, beware of MacSweeper:
    MacSweeper is malware that misleads users by exaggerating reports about spyware, adware or viruses on their computer. It is the first known "rogue" application for the Mac OS X operating system. The software was discovered by F-Secure, a Finland based computer security software company on January 17, 2008
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacSweeper
    On June 23, 2008 this news reached Mac users:
    http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/06/23/mac_trojan/
    More information on Mac security can be found here:
    http://macscan.securemac.com/
    The MacScan application can be downloaded from here:
    http://macscan.securemac.com/buy/
    You can download a 30 day trail copy which enables you to do a full scan of your hard disk. After that it costs $29.95.
    More on Trojans on the Mac here:
    http://www.technewsworld.com/story/63574.html?welcome=1214487119
    This was published on July 25, 2008:
    Attack code that exploits flaws in the net's addressing system are starting to circulate online, say security experts.
    The code could be a boon to phishing gangs who redirect web users to fake bank sites and steal login details.
    In light of the news net firms are being urged to apply a fix for the loop-hole before attacks by hi-tech criminals become widespread.
    Net security groups say there is anecdotal evidence that small scale attacks are already happening.
    Further details here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7525206.stm
    A further development was the Koobface malware that can be picked up from Facebook (already a notorious site for malware, like many other 'social networking' sites), as reported here on December 9, 2008:
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/hi/technology/newsid_7773000/7773340.stm
    You can keep up to date, particularly about malware present in some downloadable pirated software, at the Securemac site:
    http://www.securemac.com/
    There may be other ways of guarding against Trojans, viruses and general malware affecting the Mac, and alternatives will probably appear in the future. In the meantime the advice is: be careful where you go on the web and what you download!
    As to the current 'Conficker furore' affecting Intel-powered computers, MacWorld recently had this to say:
    http://www.macworld.co.uk/news/index.cfm?email&NewsID=25613
    Although any content that you download has the possibility of containing malicious software, practising a bit of care will generally keep you free from the consequences of anything like the DNSChanger trojan.
    1. Avoid going to suspect and untrusted Web sites, especially *********** sites.
    2. Check out what you are downloading. Mac OS X asks you for you administrator password to install applications for a reason! Only download media and applications from well-known and trusted Web sites. If you think you may have downloaded suspicious files, read the installer packages and make sure they are legit. If you cannot determine if the program you downloaded is infected, do a quick Internet search and see if any other users reported issues after installing a particular program.
    3. Use an antivirus program like ClamXav. If you are in the habit of downloading a lot of media and other files, it may be well worth your while to run those files through an AV application.
    4. Use Mac OS X's built-in Firewalls and other security features.
    5. Stop using LimeWire. LimeWire (and other peer-to-peer sharing applications) are hotbeds of potential software issues waiting to happen to your Mac. Everything from changing permissions to downloading trojans and other malicious software can be acquired from using these applications.

  • Should I have concerns about the integrity of Best Buy's Mac sales?

      I bought my iMac OS X, Early 2008 Model from a Best Buy store. I was a naive & pensive 1st time [ever] PC buyer. The sales [kid] led me to an iMac that had been returned, and referred to it as an "open box sale." I was re-assured the Mac had been completely "wiped clean of all..." After setting it up at home, I found out different; and the previous owner had it for 4 months! Earlier at B.Buy the sales kid told me after asking "why was it returned?" His reply, "Because the screen was too big." His answer certainly didn't make sense to me then, or when I discovered [at home] that it took the 1st owner [him] so long to decide it wasn't what he wanted. So I packed up my Mac & returned to the B.Buy store to have everything cleared.
      I knew I had a lot of trial & error lessons on my hands, not being a computer literate person, but evidently I like a good challenge; and that it has been! No complaints; at first I was concerned about 'doing something wrong'. I was re-assured by the Geek Squad, "You can't harm it; just explore your Mac to get to know it." Well, needless to say, not being able to follow instructions in Owner's Manuals, I'm more of a "slowly SHOW me HOW TO, and what's what" type of learner. I had to Google everything pertaining to PC terminology, steps on how to download & install, files, folders, using delete/trash, keeping all in place/order and NOT duplicating [and which one to keep if I did!] Please don't think I'm stupid; my Mac has been properly stored for 6 years, minus 8 months. I was not in the position in my life to have it set up in a secure environment. Since Jan 2014, my Mac & I have spent many hours, equalling weeks & months face-to-[screen] face!
      I've had many problems since installing OS X Mavericks 10.9.4; and was very apprehensive updating due to the many unfavorable Reviews I had been researching. But I couldn't keep ignoring Apple's repeated recommendations of keeping every item updated. So I eventually found my way to all info, ON ONE PAGE! Yipee! I could not believe what I was reading! Even though I was aware my APPLE apps, plug-ins, utilities, etc. were not auto updating [set to do so]. I FINALLY found my Mac's PROBLEM. My main software, Snow Leopard (10.6.8) is GROSSLY OUTDATED! I totally spaced that due to my Mac being packed away for so long. So I'm working on that. I'M SHARING all MY INFO hoping to help other's who are at my technical level. SO all YOU COMPUTER WHIZZES can SCOFF, GIGGLE all YOU WANT . I take no offense, I'm kidding ☀️. 
      BUT!! Since learning how & where to navigate through the system's files & such, and seeing documents, folders and files that strike me as odd, I have a NAGGING ITCH something is there from the ORIGINAL OWNER. He CREATED SOMETHING, a way into my system, CURRENTLY. I've had to Google 'plist names', and with the help of a very longtime good Facebook friend in New York State, I am learning more from his knowledge & advice. ALL my APPLE security settings are set-up, deny's & allows, and I'm not downloading Videos from MeTube , or anywhere else for that matter. I only download SAFE game apps, and I'm the ONLY user. ANY IDEAS or SUGGESTIONS COMP WHIZZES? Besides updating my software; I'm just trying to find out [on that subject] if I have to buy, download/install all Software Programs of past to be able to run the current OS X Mavericks? Which I read already has a 10.9.5 version. I wanted to become a part of the "Preview Program" for Yosemite; but nope, I cannot! 
    REASONS for MY PREVIOUS OWNER Concerns: My system got so bad, while attempting to Chat on fb w/one friend; every letter I typed, the rainbow ball would spin forever, highlight & delete partial words, and would totally crash. I downloaded an anti Virus app for Mac; scanned my system [took forever]; ending w/a report of 55 VIRUSES!! Many files could not be scanned too. My Mac HD Encrypted Logical Partition Drive un-mounted at least two times, and there's one too many files than there should be. But the file name was not shown, only that the count is off. HELP?

    While I am no fan of Best Buy and would not buy a lightbulb from them I doubt you issues have anything to do with your iMac and more to do with your lack of experience and simply getting bad advice. Judging by you post I suspect you have loaded your computer down with a lot of crapware and that  has caused it's problems. For example running antivirus apps on a Mac not only is a waste of time, it's a waste of money, system resources and will eventually create more problems that it solves. Please begin educating yourself on the subject by reading Thomas Reeds articles on the subject, Thomas is a frequent and knowledgeable contributor to these forums. You can find his webpage at http://www.reedcorner.net/tech-guides/
    The good news is here are absolutely no, zero, zippo viruses for OS X. There are other types of malware available (for example trojans) however they differ greatly from viruses in that the use has to download and install them, whereas viruses do not work that way. OS X is not like MS Windows and is extremely secure.
    My suggestion at this point would be to clean your computer of the crapware (including antivirus apps) however before doing so please download and install EtreCheck and post its report. Then we can see how your computer has been configured and begin to give you some advice on the next steps.

    I am concerned about the health of my current computer but have not yet made the commitment to a new one, but:
    1) How can I transfer my iTunes account to a new computer when I get one...
    and
    2) What can I do if my current computer suddenly implodes and I have not yet 'copied/'saved'/otherwise protected my account, as is? -- I have already had my computer crash once and had one of your people help me restore all of the paid for songs (none of the uploaded from my own collection of CD songs, of course, so I had to spend a long time rebuilding that) -- and I believe I was told you could only help me recover that material one or two times altogether, no?
    WithOUT purchasing a Mach or iCloud (I actually think I have one of the later, but rarely have checked it) account, is there anything I can do to responsibly protect my account?
    Thanks for any time taken on this!!!

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • Should I upgrade to Macericks now from 10.6.8 on my i-Mac(mid 2007, core 2 duo?). Will Mavericks be more secure than 10.6.8 ? 10.6.8 has been great, it runs great with all my apps but am concerned about future supportibility?

    Should I upgrade to Mavericks now from 10.6.8 (i-Mac, mid 2007, core 2 duo)? Will Mavericks be more secure than 10.6.8 ?  I have the latest version of 10.6.8 and have upgraded my memory to 4GB. This could be one reason for me to make the move now.
    10.6.8 has been great, it runs great with all my apps but am concerned about lack of support now. I know my PC apps will not work but maybe some apps that work now will "walk away" from 10.6.8 and then there's the security question of above.
    I am also concerned about iPhoto 9 transition to i-Photo 11 and compatibility of my Time Machine WD Passport HD (format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled) based on several questions in applicable forums.
    Thanks for your help in this important decision!

    If I were you I would stick with Snow Leopard. It's much better suited to your old hardware. That said:
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • Concerns about the new EULA.

    Did anyone else notice in the new EULA for appleTV that purchased movies should be 'archived' becuase they may not always be available for download.  One of the reasons I switched to apple TV was to stop having tonnes of DVD cases clutering about.
    Is anyone else concerned about this?  Or did I misread it?

    Apple has always recommended that users backup their content. 
    iCloud is not and has NEVER been touted as a backup for media.  Content is regularly added and removed due to licensing restrictions.
    Why would any user have an issue with backing up their media on their local drives locally?  Certainly a user would not think of not maintaining backups of their pictures and other important documents on their comptuer, so why would media files be any different?

    No one knows if there will be a new model and if so, when that would be. However, there always will be something bigger, better, and newer around the corner, so you'd be waiting forever.
    Buy it when you want or need it.

  • In our program, we are concerned about reducing CPU work; how to wait until a boolean condition changes in a "while loop"?

    Is there a way to wait until a boolean condition changes (instruction is sent) in a "while loop" (because I want the program run until I press exit button)? Now it is consuming a lot of CPU because it is running the loop very fast waiting for instructions unless I stop the program.
    Thank you.

    Use /functions/time and dialog/wait until next millisecond multiple in the

  • Appliances for new home...Should I wait for "Black Friday" price discounts?

    I will be making a big purchase of 3-4 large kitchen appliances for my new home, but I am concerned about the upcoming "Black Friday" price discounts. I need to buy my appliances this weekend, and I cannot wait for anticipated price discounts. If I purchase now, and then the price is discounted later on, will I be eligible for the new discounted price?

    Hello SD-BaLLaH -
    Congratulations on your new home!  While normally you are able to do a thirty day price match guarantee on Appliances, our Thanksgiving weekend sales are exempt from price matching.  This would include trying to obtain a price match on a previous purchase. 
    I hope this offers some clarity!

  • I have just pre-purchased the Iphone 5 and am concerned about the Nano_SIM. I am with Telstra in Australia. How and where do I get a Nano M and how do I get my pre-paid account  onto the new SIM?

    The nano SIM should come with the phone if you set it up with a carrier.
    If you purchased an unlocked phone, you'll have to contact your carrier to get a nano sim card.
