That's not a bad setup at all to get started with small projects.
We all have different budgets and patience. You may be OK with what you have. And if it seems too sluggish - your rig would be for me , the following would help Premiere Pro performance:
- increase RAM to 16GB (about $140 per eBay pricing from a seller with high ratings a few minutes ago)
- add another drive; my favorite choice with your laptop would be a Seagate Momentus 750gb drive installed in a NEWmodeUS.com optical bay caddy (slips into your laptop)

Exactly what I have done, and it is great.
You can get the caddy here:

I had this setup for my old HP and have a caddy ready to install for my new Dell Precision as well. You can either get an external house for your DVD drive, or get an external one - they are quite cheap.

  • Can Logic Pro X use a mic on a Duet and USB at the same time?

    Seems that it's either or. When it asks where you are getting your microphone from, it's not a per track basis. It did recognize the USB mic when I plugged it in but changed the setting and the mic off the Duet was gone.
    (Trying to record a podcast in latest Logic Pro X.)

    You have to use apple's audio/midi utility to create an aggregate device from the mike and the duet, and then select that as logic's audio interface

  • Which version of Windows XP (SP1, SP2, SP3?) can I install on Mac Pro 2011 using Boot camp

    I am planning to install Microsoft XP on my Mac Pro 2011 using boot-camp. Since there are multiple versions available (Home, Professional, Pro with SP1, SP2, and SP3's etc…) I am finding hard to decide which one is the tested and best available option?
    Also any other specific features to consider while purchasing this OS.
    Please advise…

    However, I am not clear what you guys wanna say here, I simply want to know Which windows XP can I install on Macbook Pro (Laptop) using boot camp?
    I will repeat what I already said given that you told us that you are running Lion on a newer MacBook Pro.
    You should visit the Boot Camp forum https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp
    And you should read the Boot Camp Help documents http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    XP, regardless of version, is not going to work on a newer computer nor will it work if you are running Lion OS.

  • I wonder how pro photographers use aperture?I shoot raw and my harddrive is alreay full.I'm not able to import new pictures.Is it ok if i create a vault and delete all my projects in the HD.Can I use an external HD use aperture through the vault??

    I wonder how pro photographers use aperture?I shoot raw and my harddrive is alreay full.I'm not able to import new pictures. I don't know what to do. I created a vault. My plan was to create a vault(put all my master files into an external harddrive) and then delete all my projects in my mac pro's harddrive. Is it the correct way to do it ? What should I do if I have thousands of raw files ? How should my workflow be? Can I use an external HD and use aperture through the vault,without keeping the master files on my computer's hard drive?? Or should I shoot raw+jpeg and store raw files in an external backup harddrive and import only jpegs into my aperture library?

    There's a bit to learn.  It will slowly make sense.
    Aperture is an empty field.  You're given a tractor and a whole bunch of attachments. What you grow, how, and where, is entirely up to you.
    Vaults are for back-up and only for back-up.  They have nothing to do with storing your working files.
    When your Library outgrows your system drive (and for good performance, you should leave c. 20% of every drive empty), it's time to convert some of your image's Masters from Managed to Referenced.  ("Managed" and "Referenced" refer to Masters, not to Libraries.)
    There are hundreds of posts in the forum, and several pages in the User Manual on using Masters.
    Many people run Aperture with the Library on their system disk, and most (or all) of their images' Masters on external FW drives.  This is a good set-up.  Note that you will likely have to take steps to back-up the data on your external drives.
    If you do the above, there should be no reason to delete any Projects.
    The choice of RAW or RAW+JPEG or JPEG depends on the kind of work you are doing.  I capture RAW only -- but I don't do any commercial shoots.  Pros on deadlines report that the RAW+JPEG works well for them.  Capture JPEG if it saves you time.  IMHO, there is not a good reason to shoot JPEG to save space (space is cheap; time expensive).
    Short-term solution: buy and use a FW800 external 1 TB drive, formatted "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)", and using Aperture relocate the Masters of all images older than 30 days to that drive.  (Be sure to change your back-up strategy to include this new drive; you may need a second new drive.)
    This general post of mine might help you understand more about Aperture.

  • Yahoo Mail: on Mac Pro (keeps asking for my password and then doesn't work)

    I have used Yahoo Mail through my Mac Pro Mail Account for years and enjoyed fine service.
    For the last few months, the Mac Mail says I have the wrong password, and it won't allow me to access
    mail.
    If I change the password, it will work for a while (days) and the cycle starts all over again.
    Sometimes, I stop using Mac Mail and use Yahoo off the web, and then suddenly Mac Mail will start working
    on its own again.
    I read a thread for earlier in the year and tried every single thing suggested - this still happens
    I have used Yahoo mail for 22 years - but maybe it is time to switch?
    Gmail never has this problem...but I use the Yahoo mail for my business, my friends, and groups.
    Anyone with a working solution?
    PS: My Yahoo email ALWAYS 100% of the time works on my iphone, and ipad...this only happens on my Mac Pro.

    You don't have a Mac Pro (*65lb tower) but a notebook.
    There is a support page and setup wizard to help plus links to support articles and community.
    you may have to rebuild mail index or see if you can export, (re)move the existing mail folder and setup a new one and import old mail. Mail does and can have its issues for sure.

  • Can Mac Pro run AHCI under Windows?  No native command queuing?

    It seems that Mac Pro runs AHCI under OS X.
    Under Windows Vista 32/64 or XP 32/64, some reason AHCI cannot be enabled. It seems to only run legacy IDE mode. Even with modern HD, Mac Pro can not seems to take advantage of AHCI benefits such as hot-plugging and native command queuing. Does Apple thinks that native command queuing is necessary feature under OS X but not under Windows?
    Even with installing AHCI driver using F6 during Windows installation, AHCI mode cannot be obtained.
    Is there a simple way to enable AHCI mode besides modifying the grub bootloader as some suggested in forum? Or is it not possible until Apple modifies BIOS CSM or allows EFI modification? It seems that Apple wont address this issue with firmware update since Intel Mac Pros have been available for years now.
    Any suggestion of enabling AHCI under windows XP / Vista will be welcomed.

    HD Tune wont expect to show any change with or without NCQ.
    NCQ will show advantage in server environment or heavy multi-tasking environment, not on I/O meter. NCQ may even slow some game playing in some instance.
    AHCI adds other stuff like hotswapping or other modern goodies, not just NCQ.
    Mac Pro has Intel chip / controller capable of AHCI and RAID (well pseudo Intel Matrix RAID) only if Apple allows us to enble it in EFI.

  • How many ATI 5770 cards can Mac Pro hold?

    I just bought a Mac Pro 6-core with two 5770 graphics cards and running two 30 inch monitors. Is there enough space left to install one more 5770 card so I can run three 30 displays...or is two the max it will hold because of the the size/thickness of the cards?
    Message was edited by: cameraguy

    There are only enough auxiliary power connectors for two 5770 cards, however you only need one to run three 30" displays. With two cards, you can use six displays.
    Each card has one dual-link DVI port and two Mini DisplayPorts. To connct a 30" to a Mini DisplayPort you need a Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter.

  • How do i engage my 8 core mac pro to use all it's cores when using final cut pro and other applications that need processing power? at the moment they seem to be idle...

    how do i engage my 8 core mac pro to use all it's cores when using final cut pro and other applications that need processing power? at the moment they seem to be idle...

    First, did you use Setup or Migration Assistant? That can happen when coming from a PowerMac or sometimes even from another (Intel) Mac.
    Second, wait for the next version of Final Cut due very soon to ship (may have to wait for the ".1" of course to clean up any early issues.

    There are a few apps that are better.  I think you can run multiple instances of Handbrake for one.

  • Both of my mac pro are using the same messanger phone number

    both of my mac pro are using the same messanger phone number how can i changed

    If they are both using the same iMessage Apple ID, they "belong" to the same person, so it makes sense that they be addressed together. To use different phone numbers, assign them different iMessage Apple IDs associated with different iPhones. Alternatively, set one to "listen" to the phone number and the other to "listen" to an email address.
