Difference between new iMac processors 3.5 GHz Quad i5 vs 4.0 GHz Quad i7
The only major software I use is Aperture and Photo Elements.
I have Bento about 7000 entries.
I am retired, no business app.
I am one of those that believe get the top of the line it will last an extra year or 2 of viable usage .
My current iMac is:
2008, 3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo with 4GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS 512 MB
Any thoughts ?
Thanks
Greg
The Flash drive will provide faster access to data, but does not directly affect the processor.
If you don't need the extra space, then go for the smaller Flash drive to keep data access times at their peek.
As to the difference between an i5 and i7 obviously the processor speed is one. But buffer, and cache and other specs that will aid in performance may be different.
If money is no object go top of the line. Otherwise the i5 should work fine for what you want to do, and will be a marked improvement over what you have now.

If unboxed how could you tell the difference between refurbished imac and new imac?
If unboxed how could you tell the difference between refurbished imac and new imac?
Besides all of that, you can purchase Apple Care which will extend your warranty to 3 years just like you can on a brand new iMac.
If you're considering a "refurbished" iMac, buy it ONLY from Apple. I believe it's your best bet. -
Difference between apparently similar processors?
Is there as noticeable a difference in performance between the following processors as there is in their price?
2nd generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2670QM (2.2 GHz, 6MB L3 Cache) with Turbo Boost up to 3.1 GHz
2nd generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2820QM (2.3 GHz, 8MB L3 Cache) with Turbo Boost up to 3.4 GHz
And what is the difference between the first processor listed above and the dv7t's:
2nd generation Intel(R) Quad Core(TM) i7-2720QM (2.2 GHz, 6MB L3 Cache) w/Turbo Boost up to 3.3 GHz
Specifically:
Is there any difference in speed or amount of lag when gaming or doing regular web surfing?
Is there a difference in heat when using the laptop?

Difference between New G/L Segment and Profitability Segment
Dear friends,
Can somebody explain what is the difference between New G/L segment and Profitability segment.
Thanks, PrakashHi,
Segment in New G/L is puerly for external reporting purpose.A segment is a sub area of a company for which has separate financial data and which has expenses and losses.For this segment we need virtually complete balance sheet for external reporting purpose.
Profitability segment is for analysis of profit within the organisation.A Profitability segment is a combination of different characteristic for which we want to analyse sales revenue and cost.These characteristic can be any thing for example customer, product, sales organisation etc.
For example We want to analyse what is the total sales of product A for customer group B under the sales organisation XYZ. Here profitability segment = Product+customer group +sales organisation -
Difference between New Formula and Formula Variable
Can any body explain what is the difference between New Formula and Formula Variable.
ThanksHi,
Formula:http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/d3/8057f830a911d4b2be0050dadfb23f/frameset.htm
Formula Variable:If you want use variables in the formulas of a form, you need to use formula variables. You can use formula variables only in form reports, and must define them in the form itself. They can be replaced in the same ways as text variables when you execute the report.

Difference between new GL & Classic GL
Hi
I request everyone to help me understand the difference between new GL and Classic GL.
Basically a new GL has following features:-
1. Segmental Reporting
2. Parallel Currencies
3. Generation of Balance Sheets @ Profit Center Level
4. Legal Consolidation
I believe all the above features can also be achieved in Classic GL.
Also what is the difference between Business Area & Segments?
Pls help.
Thanks,
SrikanthHi Srikanth,
One of the the core differnences between New GL and Glassic Gl is online integration of items like PCA,segments,Business area etc with GL.
In classic GL we need to do a lot of periodic closing activities to get restricted Balance sheet at these levels.
with online document split enabled in New gl these periodic activities are gone.
Differnce between business areas and segments:
both can be used to draw financial statements at other than co.code level. But for segmental reporting you need to have PCA as segments can be derived only thru Profit center. (BADI available in other cases)whereas Business areas are cross co.code settings so you can assign them to sales area/plant/divsion combination for derivation which remains the same as classic gl.
Hope this helps.
Pls assign points if it does.
Thanks,
vamsi

Difference between New Archieve and New Patch
Hi,
I am going through import and export topics of LCA files (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/workbenchHelp/help.htm?content=000276.html ). I understood how we can create new Archieves and import it to another environments. But I am not able to understand about patches.
In both the cases, I am doing the same thing. I am creating archieve of the application. I am sure, there would be difference between "new archive" and "Patch" but not able to figure out.
Can anyone let me know if I create new archieve and Patch, then what is the visual differences i can look in both the archieves??????
Regards
Sunilpatching is related to component of LiveCycle.
these are basically jar files updated with new one. For more please look here.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/workbenchHelp/help.htm?content=000960.html
LCA files are simply archive file of the processes/application that you create in workbench. These archive files can be import to other environment at later stage.

Difference between new graphic cards?
can anyone tell me if there is a big difference between the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M and ATI Radeon HD 4670 with 256MB graphics card?
I am about to get an imac for my wife. It will be our home computer but she will be using it for World of Warcraft as well. I play on a new macbook and I was just wondering if there is a huge difference in each card.
Thanks for any helpYes. There is a significant difference between those two options. THe NVIDIA 9400M has good performance for the low-end option, but it does not have dedicated VRAM. It uses 256mb of system RAM for that purpose, often called integrated or shared memory. The ATI Radeon HD 4670 has 256mb of dedicated VRAM. That's not the only difference, but for graphically intensives uses, such as WoW and other similar games, the ATI Radeon HD 4670 would provide better performance.
However, a MacBook (not "Pro") also uses the NVIDIA 9400M. Therefore, if performance is acceptable for doing the same things the iMac will do, then the iMac with NVIDIA 9400M should be fine as well, since it is the same graphics processor paired with a faster CPU. -
What's the difference between new Apple TV and last one
What's the difference between the last Apple TV model and the new one? Do I need to buy the new one or will the sofware update catch me up to the same standard as the new one?
The bottom line is that the new one will output 1080p, this is achieved by an upgraded processor and reportedly additional RAM.
There are no additional features included in the new model that aren't included the older one other than the higher resolution output. -
Best connection between new iMac and firewire MacBook Pro
Hi I'm running a MBP with Firewire, USB (2?) and Ethernet ports. I am soon to take delivery of my shiny new iMac with Thunderbolt, USB 3 and Ethernet ports. What please would be the fastest connection I can establish between the two machines? Thanks, M
Ethernet is your fastest choice - FW800, to be precise.
To transfer from the MBP to the iMac use Target Disk Mode. Boot the MBP into TDM, boot the iMac normally and preferably for the first time. This will put you into the Setup Assistant and let you migrate data from the MBP - Home folder, third-party applications with support files, and system preferences.
If you prefer not to do a migration then you can also simply transfer selected items using drag and drop.
A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
The Knowledgebase article Intel-based Mac: Some migrated applications may need to be updated refers to methods of dealing with migrating from PowerPC chips to Intel with the Migration Assistant safely. The authors of this tip have not had a chance to verify this works in all instances, or that it avoids the 10.6.1 and earlier Guest Account bug that caused account information to get deleted upon use of the Migration/Setup Assistant. However, a well backed up source that includes at least two backups of all the data that are not connected to your machine will help you avoid potential issues, should they arise. In event it does not work, follow the steps below.
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
1. Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
2. Screensavers written for the PowerPC System Preference add-ons
3. All Unsanity Haxies Browser and other plug-ins
4. Contextual Menu Items
5. Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5 Kernel extensions
6. Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior, TechTool Pro , SuperDuper , and Drive Genius work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries. Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.
Additional links that will be helpful to new Intel-Mac users:

2. Apple Guide to Universal Applications
3. MacInTouch List of Compatible Universal Binaries
4. MacInTouch List of Rosetta Compatible Applications
5. MacUpdate List of Intel-Compatible Software
6. Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
7. OS X Lion: How to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac
Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs. The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode. It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
2. Backup your data. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake
or there's some other problem.
3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
4. Startup your old Mac in Transferring files between two computers using FireWire.
5. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and
registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your
desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following:
a. MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (15-inch,
Late 2008) - What to do if migration is unsuccessful;
b. MacBook Air - Migration Tips and Tricks;
c. MacBook Air - Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and
wireless 802.11n networks.
Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
If you want cookies:
/Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist /Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft.
Credit goes to Macjack for this information.
If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.

Difference between new network and extended network
Difference between extended network and new network settings
An "extended" network acts as one large wireless network. Wireless devices can roam anywhere a signal is present and stay on the network without having to make any changes.
A "new" network will require that a wireless device manually "switch" to that network and enter the password for the network to connect whenever you want to use that network. In other words, a "new" network will use a different wireless network name and password, which will require that you manually log on to that network.
The exception would be if you created a "new" wireless network and used the same wireless network name, same wireless security settings and same password as the "main" network and connected the AirPort back to the main router using an Ethernet cable. In that case, you would have an "Ethernet extended wireless" network. -
Hi,
Please clarify me : What is the difference between the instnce creation by using new operator *( new ClassName())* and instance creation using class.forName("fully Qualified Name");
thanks
GauravThe compiler can tell you whether new ClassName() will be valid. For the other, you have to wait until runtime to know for sure.
new ClassName(...) can be invoked with arguments, and you provide them directly and simply. If you want to reflectively create an instance using a constructor that takes arguments, it's a more convoluted process.
Using new, you know which checked exceptions can be thrown and you catch them directly. Using reflection, you have to catch some other exception and unravel its cause.
You can use reflection (Class.forName and its more complicated cousins) when you don't know the classname at compile time.You can't do this with new.
Don't use reflection unless you have to. It's more complex, somewhat less performant, and it denies you certain compile time checks. -
Keychain sync issues between new iMac and older 10.4.11 machine
I am having a tough time since purchasing a new imac - I can get mobileme working reasonably well with few issues if I have keychain syncing disabled on both machines but I would like to get to the bottom of this and be able to sync it automatically.
Here is a description of the issues I am getting in spite of performing the regular advice to set up a new account once the issue starts and move all my stuff into that new account.
After a few syncs I get the advice "please enter the password for "(myname), Aos Powerbook G4 17""
Now the A has a double dot (umlaut ?) above it and the o has a ^ above it - not sure how to get that with this keyboard or I would have done it ...
This box is empty below this dialogue (expecting a passcode) and whatever password you enter (I have tried all of mine repeatedly over several weeks now !) it just doesn't accept it. It is as if someone else in a parallel universe has your mac and has entered a new passcode !
Occasionally I will get 'the keychain on '^&G*)(" has been altered do you wish to merge' (not exact text but something like) and I am no longer able to send emails without entering my email account password first and every so often.
There are other weird symptoms too - but does this trigger anyones grey matter ?
IS there an issue between 105 and 104 syncing ?
Thanks
AndyI should also point out that I have an iphone and this poor puppy has tons of apps and data associated with the apps on it......
Anyone have a clue as to how I back this up with the new pbook user account I have created to sidestep the keychain issue ?
The only option it shows erases the iphone's applications and their assoc data from what I can see ....
Thanks

Any difference between new and old wireless Mighty Mouse?
Hello,
I got an "old" wireless Mighty Mouse (the one with the grey side buttons) from my father. Now I am wondering if there is any difference between this mouse and the new one, besides the color change of the side buttons. I checked my mouse against the tech specs on the Apple Mighty Mouse site, and they seem to be absolutely identical, but still, I would like to hear this from an expert, which I hope to find here . Also, does anyone know where to find the user’s guide for the wireless mouse online? I have been searching the whole Apple site, but found it nowhere.
Thanks in advance for your answers.Hi,

Is there much speed difference between the iMacs?
Just wondering, if there is any noticeable performance difference between the 1.83 - the 2.0 and the 2.16?
I'd be surprised to learn that there was (and also, keenly interested to learn).
My experience is that a dual processor is noticeably more capable than a single processor (regardless of minor increments at the end of the processor number).
Anyone?You are right that it is more about futher differentiating the models than anything else. The speed difference is negligible, but a nice plus is you choose a larger display. Typically you also get a larger standard HD and maybe a better video card and if you add all those things up, the price difference is worth it.
