Help! Which Gelaskin MacBook category do I need???

I'm trying to figure out which of the following categories to choose for a Gelaskin!:
13" Unibody MacBook(Pro, 1st. Gen Air) or
13" Original MacBook
I have the mid 2010 white MacBook. I know this is silly but I'm old school Mac! Kept using my iBook G4 for a long. long time, & still have it, in beautiful working condition... But, this is my second MacBook, & I'm guessing it's the 2nd category- Original MacBook, yes??? What is this Unibody business, is it the chunkier "cased" ones like this(mine) & the late 2008 13", or is it the newer, thinner, sleeker ones?
Please inform, especially if you're familiar with Gelaskins!
Cheers!

My wife has an iPhone, and I have never noticed any heat from it. I think there are a lot more components that can overheat in a notebook than a phone. Plus the bigger problem is many people like to close the lid of the notebook, and that screen can come on without your noticing, creating an overheating issue.

Which new MacBook Pro matches my needs

Hey all,
I'm in the market for a new laptop. I've owned windows laptops before, but that one crapped out on me in 2011. I bought a dell desktop to replace it, and have had to replace the motherboard and sound card since then. I have always had problems with all my computers, and think its time for a change.
I have always considered a mac, and now am comfortable making the switch to mac from windows. I'm looking for a laptop with enough power under the hood for the following:
Mild gaming, such as WOW (mostly), Diablo 3, Starcraft 2, minecraft, sim city, all on medium settings.
Heavy photoshop CC.
Browsing the interwebs.
Possible podcasts/radio
Heavy programming/cadsoft eagle circuit board design.
Basically I want to know if the $2599 15" MacBook Pro configured with 2.6Ghz is overkill for me, and I should just go for a 13" MacBook Pro with an i7 and 16 gb ram :)
Money is not an issue

I think for gaming the 15" MBP is sutable but for other purpose 15" is a big one. Considering your requirements I recommend you to use the 13" with more features. For more information please go to : http://store.apple.com/us/buy-mac/macbook-pro
Thank you.

Look for cloud solutions such as DropBox, OneDrive, SugarSync or others. They are all cloud based services that sync documents between computers via the cloud. Of course another solution is simply a flash drive formatted in exFat so that Macs and Windows computers can read it.

Help!!!!! I need to get iphoto lib off of hd which is running really slowly, and clicks rather more loudly than usual, how do i do this, im even on my iphone asking this! Computer also runs inly marginally faster in safe boot mode! Could the apple store help?

It certainly sounds like your harddrive is dying. I would Immediately backup your harddrive to an external USB or Firewire harddrive Before doing anything else. It just may save your data in time before you lose it all.
Hope this helps

Hello, I need help with my macbook pro. It looks like I cannot install anything anymore. Everytime I try to install a new software, use the migration assistant or click the lock to make changes, it simply does not react.

Hello, I need help with my macbook pro.
It looks like I cannot install anything anymore. Everytime I try to install a new software, I simply get stuck during the installation type process. I put in my password, it does accept it, but it does not go any further.
I tried to reset the password, put no password, repair the permissions, the disk but nothing will do. I nearly got stuck with the log in screen but finally succeeded in disabling it.
So I thought I might try to create a new account but I cannot click the lock to make changes. It simply refuses to react.
I am now thinking about using the migration assistant to save all my settings, data and so fourth, but again I get stuck when I have to type in my password. It accepts it but nothing happens...
I guess it has something to do with the authorization process, but can't find anything on the internet about it... Can you help me out?
I am running Lion 10.7.3.

(I apologize if any grammatical/structural mistakes were to be found, english is not my mother-tongue. )

You probably won't like this suggestion, but I suggest you reinstall Lion.
First, backup your system. Next, reboot your system, press/hold the COMMAND-R keys to boot into the Recovery HD. Select 'Reinstall Mac OS X'. If you purchased Lion as an upgrade to Snow Leopard, the reinstall process will install Lion 10.7.3. If your system came preinstalled with Lion, you might still get Lion 10.7.2. Both installs are a total install of the OS. None of your apps or data will be impacted. Just the OS.

Can someone please help me... i'm about to buy a new macbook pro and i need some pros and cons of SSD

hi.. i'm about to buy a new macbook pro and i need some pros and cons of SSD.... i'm not sure which is really better, the regular hard drive or the SSD... because if i buy the mac with SSD it would be the 128GB, so i want to know how would that affect the overall performance of the computer...
Thanks!

I would suggest that you purchase the SSD through a third party source. You will save money that way.
Regarding the performance, go to the OWC web site. They have bench tested their SSD vs conventional HDD and have published the results for anyone to see,
The difference between the 128GB and the 256GB drives is capacity, no practical change to performance.
Ciao.

That doesn't work for full version upgrades such as 9.0. It will work to go from 9.0 to 9.2.1.

Need help buying 15inch Macbook

I am an industrial design student and need help configuring a macbook pro. Should I go for the 2.3Ghz model or the 2.6 one? I prefer the 2.3 Ghz one as it is cheaper. Should I get an extra 4gb ram? I do not play games, will be mainly using sofware such as solidworks and indesign on it. I am not considering the retina display models. Also, should I pay $100 to get an antiglare screen? I do have poor eyesight and think this would be a good option.
Thanks

You'll get a lot of advice here, but I feel the most important point when working with InDesign, is to get as much RAM as you can afford. I have the non-glare MBP, and I also have the regular screen iMac. I like them both. I think you should think about where you will be working the most, and how much light will be there.

HT3910 I am selling my Macbook Air 2008 and need to reformat it back to it's factory settings. I've been reading the help but I don't seem to have a re-install drive for the USB port. Is this something post 2008 or can I get one from somewhere?

Hey Stella,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities, and thanks for the question! I'd read through the following article before selling your Mac - it'll include instructions on how to reformat your hard drive:

I have a new macBook Pro 15 and need to purchase best, easiest usb for backup - help please

I have a new MacBook Pro 15" and need to purchase the easiest, cost-effective USB for backup. I have never done a backup and don't know what to buy. Thanks much from an obvious novice.

Look at these two links to OWC products. Note that one is for enclosures only so an appropriate HDD would have to be added. This at least should give you an idea of what is available.

URGENT HELP: Which Redistributable Files do I need...

I've build my app (MS Visual C++ 6.0) using Oracle Objects for OLE v3.9, which OO4O "Redistributable Files" do I need to install along with my app onto a users machine. Do I need to re-register theses dlls?
Cheers

If you cannot guarantee that your end users will have this release of Oracle Objects for OLE installed on their machine, you will need to redistribute specific files along with your OO4O application. The following redistributable files (all 32-bit) are part of Oracle Objects for OLE:
7     oip8.dll
7     oip8.tlb
7     oraansi.dll
These files should be installed in the oracle_base\oracle_home\bin directory.
In addition, the oo4oparm.reg file has been provided to register OO4O configuration information. Please review this file and edit if necessary to reflect the correct oracle_home location on your machine. In order to register oip8.dll and enter the OO4O configuration information in oo4oparm.reg in the registry, please execute the following from a command prompt:
drive:\path\> regsvr32.exe oip8.dll
drive:\path\> oo4oparm.reg
The message file oiplang.msb should also be provided and copied to the oracle_base\oracle_home\oo4o\mesg directory. The message file is specific to a language. For example, oipus.msb would be an English version and oipja.msb would be a Japanese version.
You must also distribute the file(s) from the following list corresponding to the development software you used to build your application:
7     oraclm32.dll (for Microsoft VC++)
7     oradc.ocx
Note that the Oracle Data Control (oradc.ocx) must be registered for it to function. For example, the OCX can be registered by executing the following at a command prompt:
drive:\path\> regsvr32.exe oradc.ocx

HT3503 i have a macbook air and I need to connect my firewire device to it. Where can I find the correct adapter?

I am trying to connect my presonus firebox that uses firewire to my new macbook air, but I need an adapter. If anybody knows of one please help.

@Christoph: Um, no there aren't. The only thing I know of is the Belkin TB hub, which is $300 & way more complicated (& bigger) than just an adaptor.
http://www.hardwarezone.com/tech-news-belkins-new-thunderbolt-express-dock-revea led-ces-unveiled-2012
If anyone knows of something with TB in and simply one or two FW ports out, that would be extremely useful for this audio guy.

Which new MacBook Pro is best for a graphic design student?

Hi there, I was just wondering if anyone could give me some advice on which new MacBook Pro to get. I'm a graphic design student who would like to be able to use Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator at the same time, while also web browsing (I tend to have a million windows open). I won't be using the computer for any video work or heavy gaming.
Here's what I do know: I'd like the retina display, and I need the 8GB of memory (do I need more?). Other than that, I'm not too sure about what specifications I need. I'm not super knowledgeable about all of this, so apologies if these are very elementary questions. Any help would be much, much appreciated. Here are my main questions:
1. Would you recommend getting the quad core i7, or is i5 fine? For i5, do I need to pay attention to the difference between 2.4GHz and 2.6GHz?
2. What exactly is PCle-based flash storage, and would you recommend 256GB or 512GB?
3. What's the difference between Intel Iris Pro and Intel Iris?
Thanks so much!

1) Depending on which software you'll be using most of the times a quad core has more benefits (since it's more future proof). Not all software supports multiple cores (and thus rendering the extra cores of the quad "useless" if it's not supported).
2) PCI-e is what we use in desktops to attach for example a graphic card. Previous hard drives used a cable to connect it with the motherboard (in the old days we used IDE, now recent hardware uses SATA3). Basically because it's directly connected to your motherboard (there's more to it but to keep it simple) this will allow it to read and write faster from and to it. (Double the speeds of your regular SSD)
3) I reckon (haven't checked into it) that the base core speeds are clocked higher on the Iris Pro and probably has more dedicated ram to it.
What a graphical student wants would be most likely a quad core CPU with a dedicated graphics card. The extra is storage is nice if you reckon you'd need it. (I mostly work on cloud but keep my current projects on my drive because then I'd have faster access to it).
