Hi, I want to buy a Macbook Pro, which one is the best for...
Hi, I'm currently studying graphic design... Besides using Adobe collection like Ai, Ps, Dw, Fl, etc., I'm beginning to use After effects, Final Cut, Cinema 4D, basically stuff for audio&video, 3D modelling.. So I'm looking for a Macbook Pro to buy, that allows me to use all those heavy (file size, visual effects) programms.. which do you recommend for me?
High res-anti-glare 15" or 17" with the top end video card, scores 45 points on Cinebench, which is very impressive for a laptop, about half as fast as the fasest current Windows towers.
That most certainly will do the job.
The 17" hight res/anti-glare as the ability to display 1920 x 1080 (1080i HD) on it's 1920 x 1200 pixel screen in actual resolution.
I've got the Early 2011 MPB and I can run a 3D animated screen saver as my desktop all the time, it's a real workstation type machine in a laptop, very very impressive machine.

Nobody in these forums represents Apple or any store. So to find out whether you can buy something, you must contact stores or consult their websites directly yourself. If not available in the online store, try contacting a retail store and see if they can make a special order

Basically starting uni in september.
want to buy a macbook pro as i understand they are awesome? dont want the air as the pro is much better performance i understand.
basically do the prices stay the same and my budget is around the £1.1k mark so im looking at the 13inch 2.8ghz version.
will they release new versions this year and if so do prices usually rise etc?
a little advice is appreciated.
thanksThe MBPs have maintained a price structure for a couple years, with changes occuring at intervals within those prices. That means, the high end 15" has gone through three processor upgrades since last summer and one secondary graphic processor. If you look at the 13" that is at your price point today, more than likely by next summer it will have a faster processor at that same price. And the current processor may no longer be available.
So if you have a fixed amount of money to spend, consider holding off until it is closer to the time you will be going to the university as you will be able to buy more computing power for the money.
No one knows exactly what changes there will be, just the history of these things gives clues as to what will happen qualitatively. -
I want to buy a Macbook pro - but need occasional system 10.6.8. Can the macbook from an external HD to start under 10.6.8?
No. Macs cannot run a system that is older than the hardware. You can however pick up a copy of Snow Leopard Server and run it in a virtual machine using Parallels.

Hello, I have macbook pro, late 2008, OS X 10.5.8 and I want to upgrade to new soft, which one is the proper one for me Snow leopard or Mountain Lion, and what is the differences between those.
What do you recommend at this time for me.
Thanks a lotYou can upgrade to Mountain Lion, but you have to upgrade to Snow Leopard first. Buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Then, make a backup, insert the DVD and upgrade. After upgrading, open Apple menu > Software Update and install the most recent version. Mac OS X 10.6.8 includes the App Store, so open it and purchase Mountain Lion. See if your programmes are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com -

If i buy a macbook pro 2 months before the new operating system comes is released, can i get it for free?
Generally once Apple gives the official release date, then Macs have become available for up to date pricing. As long as just the season has been stated, there is no guarantee that Macs purchased during the season in question will get up to date pricing. So watch http://www.apple.com/osx/uptodate/ or http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate/ the day that the release date is announced. Past performance is no guarantee of future returns. Thankfully since 10.7's release Apple's full fledged releases have only been $20 USD, and updates are free to the full fledged release. I.e. 10.7.1 to 10.7.5 are updates to 10.7.
10.8.1 to 10.8.4 are updates to 10.8. It was only with 10.6 and earlier the distribution for each full release was at least $99 and up to date were around $20 going back to 10.2. 10.6 is though available on the Apple Store for only $20. -
I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro which has been running slow for a while. After looking at responses to similar problems I have downloaded and run EtreCheck. Please can someone help me with what it all means.
Thanks in advance.

Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior. Versions 1.5.1 and later are Intel Mac compatible. An outstanding source of information is OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.)
If you are using a pre-Leopard version of OS X, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. (These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion and should not be installed.)
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. (There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion or later.)
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner.
2. Data Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. SyncTwoFolders
6. Synk Pro
7. Synk Standard
8. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Always have a current backup before performing any system updates or upgrades.

Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity or 20 GBs, whichever is greater, as free space. -
Just Purchased a MacBook Pro. What it the best Adobe product to get to be able to view PDFs?
Just Purchased a MacBook Pro. What it the best Adobe product to get to be able to view PDFs?
Yes, Mountain Lion has a convoluted method to do a "Save as", but try this. Open the applicable PDF, from the "File" menu select "Duplicate". This will create a copy of the PDF file and highlight the name at the top of the page. Here you can type in a new name, and a gain from the "File" menu select "Move To" or "Save" to save the resultant, newly named PDF.
