  • What 3rd party monitor works best with Macbook Pro?

    I am trying to find a good inexpensive monitor that will work with my Macbook Pro and my work laptop.  I bought a viewsonic before I found out that they don't support MacOSX with their driver.  The aspect ratio was never correct, it went straight to 4:3, and i couldn't fix it.  Has anyone used an AOS monitor?

    using a mini port adapter to VGA, with the VGA cable supplied by viewsonic.  I haven't tried different cable or adapter yet.  I am trying to use the external monitor with my macbook in clamshell mode (getting old eyes).  When I originally set it up the macbook immediately went to 4:3 on the internal monitor, and detected the VS monitor.  I tweaked the resolution manually and got the aspect ratio to fit into the full monitor screen, but it was stretched and the resolution had to be set way down in order to get full coverage.  With the 1920x1080 res the image was only "active" on the right 3/4 of the monitor, and even after I moved the image to the left it stayed in 4:3 and was offset to the right.  I saw something about a screen spanner doctor (?) fo rthe macbook.  WOuld that help?

  • What camcorders work best with a Mac Pro?

    I have a late 2008 Mac Pro which uses OS X Version 10.6.8. Does anyone know if the Canon Vixia R500, R50, R52, or JVC EVerio Quad-proof would work? Would any of the recent Sony camcorders be compatible with my Mac Pro? Thanks.

    Hi Al. Seems to be that you are the editor I was looking for. I have an Imac itel core 2 duo. 10.5.8 OS (2008) with Leopard and I'm editing with FINAL CUT EXpress 4. Soon I will upgrade because my plan is do some heavy editing in HD and burn Blue Ray. I'm really torn between the Canon Vixia and your Panny HDC SDT 750 (because of 3CCD and 35mm wide) but what I care most it's about the log, transfer and editing . Any bad experience with log, transfer editing,etc with this camera? Do you need special software? Transfer are normal, not long or unstable?. If you have any suggestion for my computer (need to upgrade I guess) will be more than welcome.
    Thanks. Julian

  • Just bought a Macbook Air.  I does not appear to be compatible with my LCD projector.  What LCD projectors work best with MacBook Air?

    My Cannon LCD LV-7210 projector does not recognize my Macbook Air nor does my Macbook Air recognize it is attached to an LCD projector.  Yes, I do have the proper adapter. 
    What LCD projectors work best with Macbook Air?  Does this LCD projector have auto-detect for computer?
    Thanks!

    I've just purchased a *27in (aluminium case) LCD Cinema Display* and am using it with my MacBook Pro, linked by the supplied three-jack cable (Mini DVI display jack).
    The 27" display uses Mini DisplayPort, not Mini DVI.
    But I also have *a white-cased MacBook (purchased in 2008) which has an older type of display socket*, certainly not compatible with the Mini DVI type.
    The early Mac Book uses Mini DVI.
    1. Is there a cable or adaptor available to link my older MacBook to the Cinema Display? Nothing in the online store looks 'right'
    No. Mini DVI is single-link, and does not support the resolution needed for the 27" display.

  • What browsers work best with PowerBook G4 Mac OS X 10.4

    What browsers work best with PowerBook G4 Mac OS X 10.4?

    I still use Firefox 3.6.28  FF 3 is an old version and I get all kinds of warning from Mozilla about it, but I have deactivated those and it still opens web sites perfectly fine.  Others have gone to using TenFourFox but I had a group of plugins for Firefox that would not work with TFF.
    The main thing you will encounter with browsing these days is a modern Flash plugin no longer supporting G-series Macs.  I still use the newest that was available for PPC Macs and have not encountered problems.  If you need help I can post about that too but it's a long post.

    Which iMac model and which Mac OSX version? The pre-2006 iMacs this forum covers are now either poorly supported or complete adandoned by most pritner makers.
    If "About this Mac" (from your Apple menu at the left end f the menubar) shows the word "Intel," please let us klnow and we can get you moved to the forum for newer iMacs; that one gets much more traffic.

  • HT1338 hi what antivirus is best in macbook pro???and may mac pro is go slow?

    hi what antivirus is best in macbook pro???and may mac pro is go slow?

    Forget about viruses, and don't install Sophos, which is worthless.
    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    One possible cause of a slow user interface is a large number of image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons. If you have more than a dozen or so such files, move them to another folder.
    Otherwise, take these steps when you notice the problem.
    Step 1
    Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
    Step 2
    You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out before posting.

  • Will Lion work ok with Logic Pro and 3rd party plugins?

    Will Lion OS work ok with Logic Pro and 3rd party plugins?
    Any help would be much appreciated,
    Regards James

    Well, Sylenth I know... works under Logic Pro 9 and it should be found by left clicking and holding... the Software Insturment Button (The one just below where it says i/o and then scrolling down in the menu that appears to the Instrument section below the Apple Plugins...
    I don't know about Massive 1.01 because i think that one is not Logic 9 compatible because it is so old.... and I have never used Vanguard... but according to it's specs the latest version should be found in the same place as Sylenth...
    Both Sylenth and Vanguard are 32bit plugins...
    ...and.. it probably doesn't help that you are using older/not 'legal' copies of these plugins.... *ahem*

  • Screen stuck on gray, used shift key and my screen appears with MacBook Pro and not the recovery option. Please help

    Screen stuck on gray, used shift key and my screen appears with MacBook Pro and not the recovery option. Please help!

    Hi ..
    Shift key boots into Safe Mode, not Recovery.
    This only works on a Mac running v10.7 Lion or later.
    Startup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to access the built in utilities to repair the startup disk and restore OS X using OS X Recovery
    If you can't boot into Recovery Mode, help here >   Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup

  • Which Digidesign interfaces work best with Logic Pro ?

    Can anyone tell which of these work best with Logic if any at all?
    - Digi-003
    - M-Box Pro
    - M-box2
    - M-Box mini
    - M-Powered

    Thanks for the posts
    After hearing complaints about latency, driver
    issues, horrible quality,incompatibility with there
    plugs in logic as well as no chance to stand against
    performances and sound quality of other hardware half
    there prices i thought to ask.
    Wow. All that??? And then they recommend Migraine-Audio to you??? I don't think those posters know what they are talking about.
    I've been using Logic since it could be used with Digidesign hardware, from version 4.8.1, and it has always worked very well.
    It does pay to research the setting up of a DAW computer, as it is almost never just "plug-n-play" like many people believe. But once it is set up, it can run for years without problems. Most people experience problems because they change the setup, install free plugins, change audio gear, every other day of the week, and of course, that makes for a very unstable situation. No wonder they complain. But it is their tech-ethic they should be complaining about, not the equipment.
    Can anyone verify there set ups and latency?
    Here's one extensive test I did on my Digi 002R:
    http://nicksevilla.com/logicpro-som/LogicTests.html
    The latency is the same as with other comparable FireWire interfaces. Not more, and not less.
    i wont drag this out into a long post i just want a
    round about, all logic users in other forums seem to
    be against Digi hardware, most advised to buy the
    cheapest possible M-Audio interface just to run M
    Powered Pro Tools if i realy need PT at all.
    Really??? All of them???And did they know they are advising you to buy stuff that actually does NOT work properly??? Shame on those posters you read, as Digidesign drivers are a LOT more stable that the Migraine-Audio ones. Digidesign themselves told me to stay away from M-Audio... so you read into that whatever you like. I'll keep that advise from them.
    Cheers

  • Which video camera works best with Premiere Pro CS6

    I'm a beginner in working with PP and need to purchase a video camera which will work seemlessly with Premiere Pro.  I don't want to go through a lot of conversion steps. I want to tape my kids sports, be able to take the raw video right from the camera to PP and begin editing, copying etc. Does the Canon HFM 500 with ABCHD formats provide what I need or do I need something more sophisticated?  Just getting started with the whole video editing thing and want to make the right choices before buying a camera. Thanks for any input.

  • Which OSX version works best with Logic Pro 7.2

    Hello everyone,
    Was hoping i could get some opinions on which osx version works best with logic 7.2
    i currently have OSX 10.4.2 but i would like to update at least to 10.4.3 (that is least required to run logic as stated in install manual)...
    should i go for 10.4.4, 10.4.5 or 10.4.6 ?
    which would run best with logic pro 7.2?
    thanks much everyone
    Quad G5 2.5ghz 3GB RAM   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  
    Quad G5 2.5ghz 3GB RAM   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    10.4.5 was rock solid for me, and three days into heavy Logic use at 10.4.6 is proving to be just as good.
    Get caught up, and go ahead and update to 10.4.6
