From 15 inch to 13

I am in need of upgrading from my 15" Powerbook G4 -- I'm considering going to 13 inch to mitigate weight when traveling, just wondering if anyone's gone from a 15 into to a 13 and regretted it...
TIA,
Geoff

depends the scope of activity you use your macbook, whether you need a 15, or if a 13 would do the job. If you're saying you need upgrading, then going down to 13 sounds like downgrading.

  • What is wrong with my Photoshop (CS5)?

    Photoshop did this to me twice this week... during some actions like eyedrop-picking-up-color-then-apply-it-to-a-keyline... the "canvas" rotated itself (both time to some what a cw13°). There is no way to back up... nothing is recorded in "history".
    When it happened the 2nd time, today, I called the support center. After talking to 2 guys I got the third guy who guided me to reset all tools etc. but was not able to bring my screen back to normal.
    The guy insisted that this not a bug because he hasn't heard anybody else complained about anything like this. He simply couldn't give me a reason for why and tried to tell me that it could be anything, tool set up changed, preference changed. I only changed the units set from inch to pixel, no special tool setup at all. It felt like 10 some years ago when the office "IT" guy said that the reason that designers' computers freeze so often was because we typed too fast.
    Anyway, I found myself back to the old days... saving my file every other min.
    Anybody has any idea what this is about?

    Thanks for this post.  I kept on seeing that little red "compas" icon flashing on my screen with my new mac and CS5 photoshop.  I thought I was seeing things, then a wayward finger movement tilted my canvas.  "Can a canvas rotate?!?" I was completely confused and this hint here proved to my kids I am not insane nor have I broken the new mac...
    Very helpful post, much appreciated.

  • Moving clips up/down video tracks.

    Hello
    In Vegas if I wanted to move a clip up or down X# of tracks, I could use the key-pad. #2 moves down and #8 moves it up.
    Isn't there something like this in FCE? Using a keyboard command is much easier to keep the clip from inching sideways.
    Thanks
    Allen

    David and Tom
    Thanks. Tom, even if there's a clip say on the track above and I have my moving clip selected (option + select) wouldn't it go right through the clip on the track above to any empty track I wanted to put it on?
    Reason is many times I'll have a clip on V1 I want to move to V3 and there's a clip on V2 already?

  • HP prime entering simple routines

    Hi,
    I am trying the HP prime and I am somewhat disappointed. A couple of simple things have baffled me:
    First of all I use RPN all the time.
    With my 50G I could enter numbers, store them in variables and those would be available in the VAR menu by simply using the soft buttons. This is available on the prime, but I need to push a while bunch of buttons to get to my variables. Is there a smart way to get these to show in the home screen?
    Also, simple but time saving routines on the 50G, like <25.4 *> then save this under "INCH" and you can enter a number and press this button and it saves a whole lot of presses to just convert from inch to mm. How does one do this with the prime?
    Many thanks,

    User-created variables can be accessed relatively easily by pressing the Vars key.  The vars that you create  in Home are under the Vars / User tab, and the vars you create  in CAS are under the Vars / CAS tab. The permanently built-in vars are under the Vars / Home tab, but those are probably easier to simply type (in ALPHA mode) rather than using the Vars key.
    Example: In RPN mode in Home, type NICK and press Enter.  Prime will ask you, "Do you want to create a variable called NICK".  Tap OK.  Now type 123.456 Enter 'NICK' Sto, to store 123.456 into NICK.  Now accessing NICK only requires three keystrokes: Vars, then the digit in front of "User Variables", then the digit in front of NICK.   Once you get used to it, you can access all your variables very quickly that way.
    No, there is no simple way to assign user variables onto the softkeys (AKA menu buttons), like the 50g can do.  Sorry!  But the Vars key shows them in vertical menus nicely.
    Suggestion: The << 25.4 * >> program on your 50g is perhaps best replaced by a "User Defined Function" on the Prime.  Press Shift Define to start the user-defined function editor.  Type INCH for the name, and 25.4*X as the function.  Now in Home, press Toolbox [User] User Functions to access it.  It even works in RPN mode!
    If you really want keyboard efficiency, you can customize what the keys do (in USER mode), so you can access your favorite variables, functions, and programs, with just one or two keystrokes.  Details can be found in the User Guide, starting at page 516.

  • My PC has blue screened twice in the past week so I force quit it it came back on a few times after that it is now grey screening with inch wide blue lines from top to bottom the apple logo is there and it is trying to boot up but nothing happening

    My Mac has blue screened a couple of times this week it started to work a couple of times after that but now it is grey screening with inch wide blue lines from top to bottom the apple logo is also there it is trying to boot up again but won't. Not sure don't know anything about how to fix things but I suspect the fan has stopped working as I can't hear one. The problem I have I now live in Turkey and I am 1000 km from the nearest apple shop which is in Istanbul I believe and I now live in Didim, Altinkum I don't trust the everyday Turkish shop to take it to as they will tell you they know how to fix it but will probably make it worse, typical in Turkey. Please can someone help as we use it for our business and obviously I need it up and running ASAP I am using IPad and iPhone at moment but can't access my files which are on PC.

    Thanks for that information!
    I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
    In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
    When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
    Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

  • This Question is at least 2.5 years old.  But still an issue.  I have an early 2008 and mid 2010 13 inch macbook pro running iTunes 10.7.  Itunes on both machines doesn't recognize blank cds or allow me to import from a music cd when I insert it.

    iTunes does not use the .xml it uses the .itl
    If you are sure your old library file migrated across (does the file size and modification dates suggest it has?) start iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and guide it to the .itl file to get it to use that one.

  • In my macbook pro retina 15 inch there is installed mavericks but ı want to create recovery disk and ı need to download mavericks from App Store but it doesn't download??

    Hey guys ı really need your help. I bought macbook pro retina 15 inch 2 weeks ago and it came with installed mavericks of course but ı want to create a recovery disk and to do that ı need to download mavericks installer from app store but when i click to download mavericks from appstore purchased part ı get a message says " Your purchasing process couldnt complete.

  • How can I steam from my early 2011 15-inch Mac Book Pro to my 2007 Samsung TV?

    I have an early 2011, 15-inch Mac Book Pro Software  OS X 10.9.5 (13F34). It does not have an HDMI port. I have a Samsung TV I bought in 2007 (Model LN-4061F). How can I stream from laptop to my TV? My laptop does not have an HDMI port. I've read I can buy an adapter, but I'm not sure what to buy.
    -Does Apple make them?
    -Are knockoff adapters "safe" to use with my laptop, and are they reliable/have a good quality connection?
    -How much do they cost (I've seen cheap ones on Amazon)?
    -What kind should I buy?
    -Will my laptop stream in HD? 
    I'm new to the community, so hoping someone can advise me how to do this. We also have a Roku, but I'm looking to stream DVDs and directly from TV network websites. 
    Thanks for your help!

    You will have to use the  minidisplay port to connect to the TV.  Assuming that the TV has an HDMI port, you will need a cable such as this:

    With this, you eliminate the need for an adapter.

  • 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?
