Difference between my old Macpro and the new one?

1.) Would you consider the new Two 3.2GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon (8-core) a minor or major upgrade from what I currently have (I use it for Final Cut Pro):
Mac Pro Dual-Core Intel Xeon 3 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Total Number Of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz
2.) Can I use my old harddrives and RAM in the new Macpro?
Thanks.

The new ones will be substantially faster than yours because it has 8-cores instead of four, a faster Frontside Bus, and faster RAM speed.
You could use the same RAM, but since the new ones can accommodate a faster RAM module you would cause the machine to run slower by using the slower RAM from your old machine.
You can use the same hard drives since both machines support SATA drives.
On the other hand you could just be happy with what you have! It's probably more than you need.

Differences between old JavaFX and the new one: some questions

Hi,
I'm coming back to my JavaFX studies after 2/3 months and I see that some things are different.. Now, I have some questions:
1) I see that javafx.ui was deprecated or rewritten in favor of javafx.ext.swing. Why there are a javafx.application.Frame and a javafx.ext.swing.SwingFrame? Which one should I use?
2) Neither javafx.application.Frame or SwingFrame has the "*undecorated*" attribute that javafx.ui.Frame has. I got this feature only reimplementing createWindow() function like this:
function createWindow(): java.awt.Window {
       //this is a trick, because Frame don't has a undecorated attribute.
       var f: java.awt.Window = super.createWindow();
       (f as javax.swing.JFrame).setUndecorated(true);
       return f;
}Should I report this as a bug/RFE in [http://bugreport.sun.com/bugreport/] ? Where should I report bugs and RFEs to JavaFX?
3) Why frame's opacity don't work in Linux? Is this a Linux restriction or only a "not yet implemented" feature?
My java -version:
java version "1.6.0_10"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_10-b33)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0-b15, mixed mode)
4) Where is that cool feature that permits me to easily animate in JavaFX doing only x = [1..100] dur 1000? Now, I need to use this more advanced (and more complicated) Timeline object.
Timeline {
        keyFrames:Timeline [
                KeyFrame{time : 0s values: x => 0.0},
                KeyFrame{time : 2s values: x =< 180.0 tween Interpolator.LINEAR}
        ]//keyFrames
}//Timeline;Sorry for the amount of questions.
TIA,

What is the difference between 3.6.25 and the latest ones like 9.0.1

I'm not sure I understand the difference between the 3.6 versions and the much newer 9.0.1 version. I have much more trouble with this newer version--in fact had to uninstall it because it kept crashing. I understand that there are more bells and whistles, but what's the advantage of the newer ones over this old reliable version?

OK, that gives me all the propaganda, but why does it crash all the time? I went back to 8.0.1 and have no problems at all. That is a rhetorical question because I don't think they know yet. I love the internet, but these upgrades seem to come out before they really have all the bugs cleaned out.
Thanks for the reply.
BTW: I realized very quickly that you can't go back as far as 3.6 versions!

Why is finder switching between my old username and my new one?

After changing my username finder keep switching between my old one and my new one rapidly. I've tried logging out and back in and rebooting, but other than that, I have no idea how I might fix this. A video of the issue can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oU661gxKtqY

I think you have Fast User Switching switched on, and it's causing your user name to toggle like you were logged into both accounts at the same time.
Try and turn it off, just to see if that cures the problem. Go to System Preferences>Users&Groups>Click on lock to unlock, then on Login Options. Check off Fast User Switching. I have no clue if this is a cure, but let's see.

The new update has a scroll feature on it to make it easier to search for songs on your ipod. It also lets you control the maximum volume your ipod can reach. It has better video quality as well. It lets you play games on your ipod (you have to download them from the Muisc Store)
and thats about it! Have fun with your new ipod!

What is the difference between Firefox 4.0b5 and the new 4.0?

Is the "new" version an update to Firefox 4.0b5 or is it now no longer in a Beta version and I should replace my Firefox 4.0b5 with your new version?
Peter Stuempel

OK. I am now using Firefox 4 but why is it saying "Thank You for Joining the Test Pilot Team!"? I was doing this earlier with Firefox 4.0b5 which you said was an OLD version. How long are these tests going on and is Firefox 4 ("new version") still in Beta?
Thanks

I did re-set my password and when I click on Install for Mavericks, I still get a box for "administrator password" and it still won't accept my new password. Is there a difference between my Apple ID and the administrator password they're asking for?

I downloaded Mavericks and it won't install. I did re-set my password and when I click on Install for Mavericks, I still get a box for "administrator password" and it still won't accept my new password. Is there a difference between my Apple ID and the administrator password they're asking for? I never had an administrator password-- I just hit enter and have never had a problem before with previous installations. I'm on an iMac, from 2007, running Mt. Lion (version 10.8.5). I've been looking for other's posts who may be having the same problem, but haven't found any. Can anyone help?

Ugh. The 'no password, no work' thing is a recent Apple development. I ran into it on my system and ended up having to do a clean install on a partition I fully erased.
I suppose, if you have the ability to, go online and look up how to burn a bootable DVD image. Download the 10.8.4 image then use the Disk Utility to make a boot image of it. You'll need a dual-layer DVD or a USB drive (or memory stick at least 8GB) If you've got an optical drive, burn the disk, if you've a USB device, use that.
Then get a pocket drive and copy your important files off the system or let Time Machine do a full backup.
When the backup is done, insert the disk and hold down the C key until the machine boots off of the DVD. At the point you get to the start window, go to the menu and choose the Disk Utility.
In the Disk Utility, reformat the drive. You go to the actual DRIVE (not the Macintosh HD, but the root above it that is the actual hard drive device)
I always do this and *partition* it into several volumes, the benefit being, you can store all of your music, documents and importans stuff on that secondary storage volume you make - it will have it's own index and then the first volume is where you put the OS and it will have it's own index as well. That way, if the OS throws a wobbler and you need to reinstall, you don't lose your data.
Depending on the size of your hard drive, it is good to give your OS partition at least 60GB and optimally 100GB, and the rest for storage.
Name your volumes, use the little box sliders to manually size them or put that number in the size window, select for the format, Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and hit Apply and then the Disk Utility will quickly create your new partitions.
Once finished, quit the Utility and it will return you to the OS installer. Select the volume you want to install to and it should start up and install.
Once the installation is done, you'll get the new machine startup then you MUST put in a password for the computer. Once you're in, and to the desktop, don't bother with any Mountain Lion updates, go right to the App Store and get the Mavericks update and let it install the app to your Applicaitons folder, then do that install.
On a side note, there MAY be a way to make a disk image from the Mavericks application and avoid the entire Mountain Lion step.. I honestly do not know, but a bit of hitting the search engines may find out if there is. I think that if you looked for "make Mavericks boot disk or boot image' you may find something.
Good luck!

Whats the difference between the 4th gen iPod touch and the new one ?

whats the difference between the 4th gen iPod touch and the new one apart from it being white?

Yeah it sadly appears to be only color, I guess Apple and thier infinate wisdom decided iPod touches dont need to be as fast as the new iPhone. If it had a5 it could do Siri:(

Yes, use a Firewire cable and the FW to Tbolt adaptor.

How do I get the old Apple ID off of my iPhone and the new one installed?

I got a MacBook Pro and decided to create a new Apple ID different from the one I previously had. How do I get the old Apple ID off my iPhone and the new one installed?

When I tried this, my music stayed the same whereas my new iTunes has only about half the music it used to. How can I get all the music to clear out so that it can sync my new music to it. Simply connecting it to the MacBook Pro and pressing Sync has not worked.

I recently brought a new HP laptop and I downloaded the newly updated iTunes on it; however I have an old Aver laptop with iTunes version 10.7 on it or the one before iTunes 11 came out. How can I transfer my movies from the old version to the new one?

I recently brought a new HP laptop and downloaded iTunes 11 on it. My old laptop which is a Acer has iTunes version 10.7, I believe. I wanted to know, How can I transfer 18 movies from the old iTunes onto my new Itunes? It only shows the most recent two movies when I look at the purchases in my account. I had a lot of moves downloaded last year from the old version and would like some assistance on how to get all those movies into my iTunes 11 library. Thank you.

you should starting with copying the iTunes folder from your old laptop to the new one.
the iTunes folder is in your user profile Music folder.
it should go to the same location on the new laptop.
Provided that you have your media, music and movies in the default location, and you sign in to your apple ID and authorize your new computer (all in iTunes)
you should have all intact.
Post if any problems.

I have a mid year 2007 24 inch iMac and will be purchasing a new 27 inch Retina iMac, what is the easiest way to transfer the data and files from my old machine to the new one?

I have a mid year 2007 24 inch iMac and will be purchasing a new 27 inch Retina iMac, what is the easiest way to transfer the data and files from my old machine to the new one?

Following up on this thread,
I have a new iMac on the way and my current is from 2008, never had a problem but I am sure there are internal issues that I would prefer not to transfer.
I have no issues other then the slowness in certain programs and that is the main reason to buy a new one.
Programs like numbers and pages seem to take a longer time to open after I update to Yosemite.
I only use 272GB of 500 GB, my memory is 4GB and I am upgrading to 8Gb and bought the 4.0 processor.
Question:
Is there a way to manually transfer items or would that be a waste of time in that if there are issues they could be anywhere and would transfer anyway?
