Does the new white macbook have enough juice for Logic Studio?

Hi
I am planning to buy the new white macbook and Logic Studio. The macbook has 2Ghz processor and 2GB ram. Will that be enough to run Logic effectively or do I need more power? I could afford to upgrade to 4GB ram but can't afford a Mac book pro or the 2.4Ghz processor macbook. I will be using an Edirol UA-20 audio interface.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That should be more than enough, although it of course also depends on what you are going to do with Logic. If you are going to use big sampled instruments, it is a good idea to go for 4 GB RAM.
The processors are powerful enough, about 2.5 times Logics' minimum requirement.

    Does anyone use this on the new white MacBook. I know it will run on a MacBook pro but I can't afford that and I already have 8 gigs of ram that I know will fit n work with new white MacBook. But I want to know how well it works if at all, I primarily will use it for my animation course and transfer files and finish large scale work on my desktop at home when not in class. Any info would be awesome.

    Well, as far as I can recall, it's a first for Apple.
    Whenever a new design model has been released on any of their products, the old design has virtually disappeared overnight (except for old stock still on other retailers shelves).
    I think they were either sold as "reconditioned" or stored and scavenged for repair parts.
    I recall that the iPod battery replacement program essentially entailed getting a new one even if it was a long discontinued model. They had to store "new old stock" somewhere.

  • Does the new ipod touch have the same camera optics as the iphone 4S?

    Does the new iPod Touch have the same camera optics as the iPhone 4S?

    Thank you for your reply. But once again if you can clarify please: Let's say I want to purchase the new white iPod Touch (introduced October 2011), will it have the 8 MP camera and improved optics? I'm wondering because I love to take photos and use photo-sharing apps, and I've read so many great reviews on the outstanding camera of the iPhone 4S - but I can't afford the iPhone just yet (also because of my current phone contract) so I was wondering if the newest iPod Touch camera is the same as iPhone 4S. I have the iPod Touch 4th gen, the one introduced Sept 2010, and as you may know that camera isn't the best. I just want to take better photos to share.
    Thank you.

  • Should I get the new 13" macbook pro or wait for the 15" macbook pro

    I need to upgrade my 2009 13" macbook pro and was debating whether to get the new 13" macbook pro or wait for the 15" rumored this summer? What do you think of the performance difference between the two models?

  • About the new white Macbook...

    Now that the "original" polycarbonate Macbook has also been upgraded with nVidia graphics, I could be persuaded to replace our iBook G4 with one of those new models : it's cheap and most important of all, it's got firewire. I'd really prefer a black one, but they only sell the white one, so I'll have to accept that.
    Anyway, I have some questions.
    The 120Gb hard drive is a bit limited, but I guess it's easy to replace it yourself. Next, memory. I'd like to upgrade to 4Gb. It's DDR2 (unlike the unibody) so relatively cheap. But does this model support DDR3, should I want to put in DDR3 instead of DDR2 ? Would the slower DDR2 not limit the Gefore9400 or the macbook overall performance wise (I'm thinking Snow Leopard and Open CL) ?
    And finally, does the white macbook's shell still suffer from discoloration ? The iBook we have has a palmrest which is in a light grey colour, so the problem doesn't pose itself there.

    You missed my point - anyone who knows anything about Snow Leopard's performance is under an NDA and cannot talk about it. Anyone who is willing to talk about SL's performance is either guessing, talking nonsense, or breaking the NDA. We just don't know.
    In terms of how the older black MB compares to the newer white model, since I haven't had a chance to play with the new one, I can say. But I can say that I switch between an original black MacBook and an early 2008 MBP almost daily and while the MBP on paper is a much faster computer with much better graphics I don't really notice all that big a difference between the two most of the time. Is that any help?

  • Why does the new version not have back-up disc in the library file? And how do I fix it?

    Why does the new version of i-tunes not have back-up to disc in the library file? And how do I fix it?

    Fast backup for iTunes library  (Windows)
    Grab SyncToy  2.1, a free tool from MS. This can be used to copy your entire iTunes library (& other important data folders) onto another hard drive or network share. You can then use SyncToy periodically to synchronise or echo your library to the backup. A preview will show which files need to be updated giving you a chance to spot unexpected changes and during the run only the new or updated files will be copied saving lots of time.
    If your media is all organised below the main iTunes folder then you should also be able to open the backup library on any system running the same version of iTunes, regardless of the drive letter or path it appears on.
    Step-by-step guide to using SyncToy.

  • Does the new mac mini have Hdmi 1.4?

    I'm thinking about buying a Mac mini in combination with a 3D monitor but every where on the Internet they are talking about HDMI 1.4a or something like that... Is it necessary? And does the Mac mini (2012) have it?

    Not certain, but it says here that 1.4 does not support 3-D, that 1.4a is needed...

  • Does the new (2013) macbook air have the same structure and size as the original?

    I just recently purchased the new 2013 13" macbook air and was looking into getting a case. Wanted to know if i need a different case for the 2013 macbook air? Please respond ASAP!!

    Actually... if by "original".... you actually mean "original", the answer would be no.  The original Air was released in 2008 and has a significantly different format than the second generation:

  • Does the new iMac still have these?!?!

    Heyy,
    I was wondering, and I'm quite curious. When I look at the new iMac design I see things that it might not have that the last generation had.
    1) Does it still have a sleep light, if it does, where is it?
    2) Does it still have the magnetic side where the Apple Remote sits?
    Thanks,
    Ramin

    Heyy,
    Thanks for the fast reply. I'm extremely surprised that Apple would do this. I still prefer my iMac (white one), and this pushes me even further away. Even though it's newer, I don't think it's better (except for processors and hard drive), but they can me upgraded(with a lot of hard work!)
    Again, thank you for the information.

  • Does the new time capsule have the same power issues as the old one?

    I loved the idea of having my wi-fi and back-up all in one unit so I slashed out on a 2TB Time Capsule in February 2013.  Over the last three of four months we have been experiencing problems with the wi-fi (keeps dropping).  Took it in to the local Apple Store and was told that it is an issue with the power supply in the unit and that this is not uncommon.  I am reluctant to shell out $400 for a replacement Apple Time Capsule if it has the same issues and will need replacing in two years.  Does anyone know if the new designed Time Capsule has been improved to remedy this problem?  If not, any suggestions for a better designed alternative?
    Thanks.

    If you have applecare or still have possibility of buying applecare on a computer or apple TV then the TC would still be covered.
    The store has jumped to a conclusion but I am not sure the evidence is pointing that way.. the power supplies in Gen4 were pretty ok for the life of the unit.
    However they did have some serious board issues start to show up at around 2year mark.. the board was poorly soldered.. and some have got it working by the oven bake method..
    See https://sites.google.com/site/lapastenague/a-deconstruction-of-routers-and-modem s/apple-time-capsule-repair/gen4-a1409-issues
    IMHO it is better to figure out a way of getting the TC under applecare and getting it replaced by apple. If it really does prove to have wireless issues.
    I would do a full factory reset of the TC.. and redo the setup again.
    And if you run Yosemite.. I would be blaming the computer first.. and only the TC if everything else (with the computer isolated) also has issues. Yosemite itself can trigger issues in other network devices.
    I would also say wireless is a strange beastie.. people next door could have setup a new wireless router designed specifically to overwhelm the issues your router caused them.. router wars..
    Factory reset universal
    Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
    N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
    Setup the TC again.
    Then redo the setup from the computer with Yosemite.
    1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
    eg TCgen5 for basestation and TCwifi wireless name.
    If the issue is wireless use TC24ghz and TC5ghz with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense. But this can be tried in the second round. ie plan on a first and second round of changes to fix this.. hopefully.. I will point out other steps that can be round2. Fixed wireless channels.. try 11, 8, 6 for 2.4ghz and try a low channel like 36 or 40 and then a high channel.. 149, 165. Whatever is available in your area for 5ghz.
    2. Use all passwords that also comply with 1. but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
    3. If the TC is main router you can skip this point. This is only an issue when the TC is bridged.
    Ensure the TC always takes the same IP address.. you will need to do this on the main router using dhcp reservation.. or a bit more complex setup using static IP in the TC. But this is important.. having IP drift all over the place when Yosemite cannot remember its own name for 5 min after a reboot makes for poor networking.
    4. Check your share name on the computer is not changing.. make sure it also complies with the above.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. but this change will mess up your TM backup.. so be prepared to do a new full backup. Sorry.. keep this one for second round if you want to avoid a new backup.
    5. Mount the TC disk in the computer manually.
    In Finder, Go, Connect to server from the top menu,
    Type in SMB://192.168.0.254 (or whatever the TC ip is which you have now made static. As a router by default it is 10.0.1.1 and I encourage people to stick with that unless you know what you are doing).
    You can use name.. SMB://TCgen5.local where you replace TCgen5 with your TC name.. local is the default domain of the TC and doesn't change.
    However names are not so easy as IP address.. nor as reliable. At least not in Yosemite they aren't. The domain can also be an issue if you are not plugged or wireless directly to the TC.
    6. Make sure IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open the network preferences, wireless and advanced / TCP/IP.. and fix the IPv6. to link-local only. Do the same for ethernet if you use it.
    There is a lot more jiggery pokery you can try but the above is a good start.. if you find it still unreliable.. don't be surprised.
    You might need to do some more work on the computer itself. eg Reset the PRAM.. has helped some people. Clean install of the OS is also helpful if you upgrade installed.
    Tell us how you go.
    Someone posted a solution.. See this thread.
    Macbook can't find Time Capsule anymore
    Start from the bottom and work up.. I have a list of good network practice changes but I have avoided Yosemites bug heaven.
    Yosemite has serious DNS bug in the networking application.. here is the lets say more arcane method of fixing it by doing a network transplant from mavericks.

  • LR5 's Adjustment Brush doesn't seem to work-does the New Radial Filter have priority?

    So why in the world would I update Lightroom in the middle of a job.?
    Before I was able to do in and touch up shadowy areas using (K) adjustment brush, but now it doesn;t seem to work. The radial brush does a good job for a defined area but for SPOT touching I have always used the the adjustment brush?
    Is there a setting or am I missing something or is this a bug?

    The presence of the Radial Filter in the tool set should have no effect on the Brush. It continues to work just as it always has. In fact, even if the RF is open (I sometimes hit it by mistake when I really want the Brush) and you click on the Brush icon, the RF closes and the Brush opens. If your Brush is not functioning properly, it is very unlikely that the RF is the reason. The usual first aid for any LR misbehavior is to close LR, remove the Preferences file from its folder and relaunch LR, allowing it to make a new preferences file. Not guaranteed to solve the problem, but worth trying.

  • Is the New White MacBook the same as the old model?

    I want to buy a white Macbook.
    Is the "new" one currently being sold (i.e. on the Apple store website) the same as the "old
    one (previous generation)?
    Many thanks for your help.

    Yes, other than changes in specs (there used to be 2 versions of the previous generation white Macbook and this one is in the middle of the two) it is essentially the same as the old one.
