Hi, planning to buy MD101, I will most be working on photoshop, playing live/audio production, occasionally render videos, mild gaming-prototype.gta4 types..my question is mac or windows? my budget stops at MD101 and no further :/

Hey thanks for the reply
its not like i must...but i do prefer apple for build quality and the way the os uses the hardware..
Priority of the laptop will be:
1- Going live with it, using softwares like ableton like or garageband to trigger samples and ambient patches with MIDI keyboard.
2- Designing on photoshop
3 - Occasional video rendering mostly non hd but good quality like youtube 720p
4 - Gaming when i am bored - I am not at all into gaming but i would surely love to play some
But i want something that will be durable/storngly built and its hardware/processor good enough to run for 3-4 years.
Now if a laptop then which one?
Thank you

I am planning to buy macbook pro,as i am working as a oracle developer,so i want to ask will i be able to install oracle 10G or above versions on my mac...??

i am planning to buy macbook pro,as i am working as a oracle developer,so i want to ask will i be able to install oracle 10G or above versions on my mac...??

did you get a satisfactory response on your question re oracle 10g on os x snow leopard? I am curious as I have been 'struggling' with it for a few days now. To my experience thusfar, the oracle files provided are not up to date with current java versions or os x leopard and require some tweaking. my own answer to your question is that it does appear that you can install and run oracle 10g on mac os x snow leopard, but it seems to be a little hacky to get through it all. Some information here, other information there, haven't yet found a single source that has all the play by play and gotcha fixes documented. I am rsisting nuking my debian install on amd64 just to put fedoracore which does appear to be a supported env for oracle 10 on linux.

I have accessed all the trouble shooting sites and followed the advice given but still cannot get the latest version of Flashplayer to download completely onto my Mac Yosemite. The install stops at 27% and will go no further

I cannot get Flashplayer to continue downloading...it stops at 27% every time despite trying several times now which makes me wonder if it is a bogus site?

Hello,
This morning we resolved a problem that prevented Flash Player installations from completing for some of our Macintosh users.
If you encountered this problem, please delete any previously downloaded Flash Player installer and either:
Download the installer again from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer, OR
Download the stand-alone installer posted at the bottom of the http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.html in the ‘Still having problems’ section.
If the behaviour reproduces, please clear the browser's cache and try downloading again.
Thank you.

I updated to V4 but firefox will no longer open when I click on the icon. I can see that the process has started, but there is no browser display. Stopping the process and trying again does not work. Please advise

Prior to updating to V4, firefox worked perfectly with all my existing applications. After I updated it will not launch a browser page, even though the process is shown to be operable in the Task Manager. The same problem occurs on start-up of my computer, so there are no previous processes running.
I cannot launch the broswer at all so cannot try clearing the cache etc or other suggested troubleshooting solutions.

In the Task Manager, make sure to check both the Applications tab and the Processes tab. On the Processes tab, Firefox may have two different components running: firefox.exe and plugin-container.exe. Well, in 3.5.11, it would be only the first one.

Will most apps work with ipod 2nd or 3rd gen?

hi there
im looking to buy an ipod touch but im going to buy a slightly older version 2nd or 3rd generation but i dont wether most apps (especially games) are gonna work or have a lag and how to avoid that because it seems that the new IOS dont work so well with the older ipod.
thanks!

You'll have to look at the requirements for each App in the app to determine whether or not it will still work with a 2G iPod Touch, which can only be updated to iOS 4.2.1.
Several apps have already been updated to require iOS 5 or later, which can be installed on a 3G iPod Touch.
So in my opinion, it would be much more effective to purchase a 3G iPod Touch instead.

Will most apps work after upgrade?

I am running 10.6.8 on my iMac and it appears that my machine meets the minimum requirements to run Mountain Lion. Will these apps continue to work and are they automatically upgraded to a newer version upon completion of downloading Mountain Lion?
I also understand that and PowerPC apps are incompatible. Do I need to delete them? Anything else?
iTunes: 10.7
iCal: 4.0.4
iPhoto: 7.1.5
Pages: 3.0.3
Numbers: 1.0.3
Mail: 4.6
Garage Band: 4.1.2
Time Machine: 1.1

Those are all Apple apps and will work fine. Most will be upraded.
There's no need to delete the PPC apps, unless you need the space.
Check the application compatibility table here.
EDIT: The problem with meeting the minimum, is that you should should exceed it. Especially, Apple calls for 2GB of RAM. I think that 4GB is a minimum, myself. So, definitely max out your RAM for a smooth experience.

Windows 10 upgrade stopped touchpad single and double tapping

I recently upgraded to the Windows 10 from Windows 7. Now the touchpad single/double tapping not working. I have an HP laptop. If there is no solution to this problem then I will just revert back to Windows 7. Thanks,

I have same problem-I spent about half an hour with microsoft assistant on phone who eventually after several failed attempts to rectify problem,appeared to give up and advised that touchpad was incompatible with windows 10 and finally advised that I needed a driver update from HP the manufacturer of my notebook. However I have tried HP support assistant online and my driver is up to date and after several attemps by HP assistant to solve problem I am no further forward and very disappointed-afterall the touchpad is a pretty basic tool of computers/pc -well for those that do not have touch screens Hope you have better luck than I have had today.

Just switched to MAC from Windows...missing my home and end keys. Is there a MAC equivalent?

I am sure there are combination keystrokes to equate to windows, but haven't found them all yet. What is a good resource for finding this information?

If you get a wireless PC keyboard with Home and End keys, most programs that use that often will support it.
For instance Firefox and the free LibreOffice supports those features.
It's just a lot of Apple programs don't.

Why does apple not care about it's customers? you can't contact itunes when you buy an app that doesn't work or doesn't live up it what is advertised

I'm very frustrated. I bought Text'ndrive2 and it doesn't work but there is no way to contact Itunes. You always have to go throught Apple. There are many apps that do not live up the their adversitment. why doesn't Apple care about their customers?

Apple tests every single app for basic functionality (does it start up?, does it do what the developer says it will do?). Additionally, each and every app is checked to insure that the app doesn't do bad things (no malware) or use private, unpublished APIs. If any of these requirements aren't met, the app gets rejected. That doesn't mean some apps aren't worth paying for but that's up to the marketplace to decide.

Will GarageBand ever be able to play music (audio) through the AV Adapter?

I purchased the Apple AV Adapter to be able to play the Garageband ap through my HDTV and stereo system. When will this issue be fixed??

speculation is against the ToS here, however you should let Apple know what features you want:

Will this card work? - Nvidia Geforce 6800 ULTRA 256MB VRAM AGP Video Card

I posted a question about getting the maximum resolution from an Apple 30 inch Cinema Display and another card, which didn't work.
The replies were fast here in the forum and quite correct.
My next question is regarding the Nvidia Geforce 6800 ULTRA 256MB VRAM AGP Video Card.
I have an AGP card with an ATi Radeon 9600 Pro card that can't power the 30 inch because it's only 64MB and no DVI output.
I'm wondering whether this card will give me the maximum resolution?
Thanks again.

Hi Japamac-
Thanks for the quick reply.
My System Profiler indicates a ATI Radeon 9600 Pro, but it doesn't have the Dual Link since this is an older G5 with only 64MB of VRAM.
The GeForce 6800 is a refurb, but is Mac compatible.
I'm hoping that it will work, but since it won't be returnable, I don't want to spend the money needlessly.
I did order another card that the Apple support suggested should be compatible, but turned out that they sent me the PC version.
I've spoken to Apple as well and get conflicting info.
It boils down to the fact that this is a G5 with a late 2004 date.
It is fast enough for me and my only hang up is that I'm only getting 12980X800 resolution.
I'm not using it for gaming or graphics processing.
HTH.

On a MBP won't play the audio for a Vimeo video. It will play audio for other video sites (YouTube, etc.).

I have Adobe Flash enabled. Everything is up to date. Am I missing a plug in?

I get an HTML5 media player to play the file by default.<br />
If I disable this nedia player then I get a Flash player.
On Mac there is currently no support to play MP4 files via the built-in HTML5 media player, so this might interfere and prevent the Flash player from being used.

I have 2 MacBooks at home that back-up to a Time Capsule. I'd like to buy an external Thunderbolt drive at work to have as an additional back-up. Will Time-Machine support autobackups to 2 different devices?

I have 2 MacBooks (1 Air and 1 Pro) at home that back-up to a Time Capsule. I'd like to buy an external Thunderbolt drive at work to have as an additional back-up (so that were there to be a fire/water damage/etc) I would not lose both the computer and the backup.
Will Time-Machine support autobackups to 2 different devices?
I'd like for it to be able to backup to an external Thunderbolt drive attached to my thunderbolt display when I dock the MacBook Air to it.
Does anyone know if this will occur automatically, or if I will have to manually select backup disk?
thanks

Yes, with Mountain Lion you can do this, but I will leave the explanation to Apple Support Communities contributor Pondini:

I am planning to buy DSLR Camera which one should I go for .

Dear Team,
I am planning to buy DSLR Camera which one should I go for . I have selected three camera models EOS Rebel T4i DSLR , EOS Rebel T5i DSLR or EOS 7D please let know the cons and pros of the three cameras and help in buying .
Regards,
Kalyan

There's not much of a jump from the T4i to the T5i; Canon releases updates to these Rebels so frequently they often lack substance. Looking at the specs I don't see anything that jumps out at me - I'd grab whichever one I could get cheaper.
The 7D is a substantial jump up. Much more sophisticated autofocus. Faster burst rate, shorter shutter lag, weather sealing, better build, better LCD, viewfinder coverage, etc. Keep in mind it's the same old sensor, but there's a lot more to a camera than a sensor. The 7D has been the go to camera of sports enthusiasts for years.
Edit: I didn't mean to sound like I was selling the Rebels short, I think they're a great camera for the price, depending on your needs. There are things that more novice photographers may prefer in a camera over the 7D, like built in flash, or the flip out screen, or in-camera HDR.

Boot Camp will only let you install onto an internal disk. This is largely because of Windows restrictions, not Mac OS restrictions. The beta thread has some supposed approaches to let you do this, using manual steps instead of using Boot Camp Assistant.
