How can I work around this issue when buying a new mac? And what will the difference be in speed?

OK. In a nutshell.
I am getting render times (converting to H.264 for web, 8000kbps, 720x1280) of about 25 minutes with my current Macbook Pro - 4GB ram. Without doing anything else with the machine.
First question - how much can I reasonably expect this time to reduce to with:
A. 21.5-inch: 2.5GHz
2.5GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5
1920 x 1080 resolution
4GB (two 2GB) memory
500GB hard drive1
AMD Radeon HD 6750M with 512MB
- - - OR - - -
B. 15-inch: 2.2 GHz
2.2GHz quad-core
Intel Core i7
4GB 1333MHz
500GB 5400-rpm1
Intel HD Graphics 3000
AMD Radeon HD 6750M with 512MB GDDR5
Built-in battery (7 hours)2
Am I going to buy myself much time?
Secondly I would like to keep my existing MacBook Pro. Installed on this machine I have FCP 6. I regulary edit as I own a produciton company. I cannot upgrade to Lion as it does not support FCP 6.
I could upgrade to FCP 7 (which would cost a fortune and still would only provide one licence) or FCP 10. The later is attractive, but looking at Apple's Specs, I meet all the specs on my MacBook bar the graphics card. I have a GL Graphics Card (GeForce 8600M GT) but for some reason this is excluded from the list of acceptable graphic cards.
So...the possibilities are:
A. Get a iMac. Downgrade it to Snow Leopard. Back up from my Time Machine so FCP is now on both machines. Is this even possible? Since the license will only cover one machine?
B. Get a iMac. Keep as Lion and buy FCP 10. Upgrade MacBook to Lion, but partition the drive with Snow Leopard so I can still have FCP 6. Download FCP 10 to my MacBook and hope it works even though my graphics card is not supported (I hear it might). How do I even get FCP 10 on my MacBook? Will it tell me I cannot install it because it recognises I don't have the right graphics card?
C. Get a MacBook Pro. Do all the above, but if it doesn't work, sell my old MacBook Pro.
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Is this ipod touch 2nd or 3rd Generation, and what is the difference?

Hi,
Could anyone tell me if this ipod touch 2nd or 3rd Generation, and what is the difference?
http://www.johnlewis.com/230690655/Product.aspx
& also would this sleeve fit this ipod model?
http://www.johnlewis.com/230680469/Product.aspx
Thanks.
P.s.
I'm hoping to get this soon so would be really appreciative of
your responses.

There is no hardware difference between what people refer to as a "second-generation" and "third-generation" 8GB iPod touch. The only difference is the version of OS included. Since the site says it's "new" I would presume it's the version with the 3.x version of the OS, but I'd suggest confirming with John Lewis.
As to the case, I don't believe there's any difference in the physical specs between the 2nd-gen and 3rd-gen hardware, so any case that fits one should fit the other.
Regards.

CS5 Print Booklet is not generating a booklet. How can I work around this?

I have updated to CS5 and now when I use "print Booklet" for my 12 page inDesign document, no pdf is produced. In CS3, the pdf appeared with no problem, ready to take to the printer, all spreads ready for saddle stitch printing on ledger paper. I can produce a pdf of the spreads as one reads it, or a pdf of each 8 1/2 x 11 page saparately, just not the booklet. I have read of people using a script to make a booklet in CS5. It seems that Adobe should fix this problem, and in the meanwhile make it clear where to get the script and how to use it.
I'm using Snow Leopard on a Mac, Snow Leopard and CS5 both new to me at the same time. I think CS3 was better, perhaps, but I no longer have it.
All help will be appreciated.

How can I get around this issue? Error Code: U43M1D207

Adobe InDesign CC Update
There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later. Error Code: U43M1D207
I quit all running adobe programs except the Adobe Application Manager and I still get this error. It seems that I am not able to do any application upgrades.
I sure wish Adobe would provided a direct link to an update file.
Why is it that the updates within the CS 6 applications will work but not in the CC versions?

I upgraded my macbookpro hard drive to 1 TB then migrated my files from time machine. I'm now locked out of the computer because the password is not the same as my usual one and one that was years old and not retreivable. How do I work around this?

Whether or not you are able to recover the data off the drive yourself will depend on if the drive suffered any impact damage in the crash. You can buy USB SATA or IDE adapters (Intel and almost all G5 use SATA) that will let you connect your hard drive to a computer (like a flash drive) to see if you can recover the data. If the drive has suffered physical damage if may not mount.
If you know someone who has one of these adapters you could try using theirs, otherwise you could buy one but you take the risk of the data on the drive being non recoverable. Regardless, both are much cheaper than $1699!
(Alternatively, if you know of someone with a Mac Pro or PowerMac G5 they may be able to install the drive in their machine and try to boot from or mount it and copy the data off.)

I bought a used iPhone on ebay. when I try to activate it, I get a message that the owner needs to sign in to the device with their appleID and password. I have no way of knowing who the owner is. How can I get around this?

Check the eBay listing. Did it state the device was Activation Locked? If not, then make a claim as Meg stated and get a refund. You will not be able to activate the phone and no one can help you contact the owner, unless that is the person that sold the device. If they cannot remove the phone from their account because it is not theirs, then refund is your route. Even Apple cannot assist with locating the previous owner.

Flash CS6 cant open play SWF files without importing and destroying them, how can I get around this?

Flash CS6 can't open play SWF files without importing and destroying them, how can I get around this?
I'm just trying to preview an swf file in flash like I have with all previous versions.

What if my SWF loads external content from an online server?
Not only does the current flash player prohibit such activity, it doesn't even pop open an error anymore saying there was an error connecting to an online source.
Normally, I would simply drag the SWF into Flash and all connections would go through. I could see traces, errors, and experience no issues.
Now I can't even do that. So what then? You have crippled a fundamental use of the program, but THANK GOD we have that deco brush that nobody asked for.
And for the record, the nature of my work benefits from not necessarily allowing the Flash Player to connect to online content. The error it pops up? That's simply another method of error checking that I require. Updating the Flash Player options is not an option.
Why would you even remove this key feature from Flash anyways? It's been there for years ... has the ratio of people importing SWFs (a rather useless gesture in an increasing OOP world) really outweighed the people using Flash as a testing environment that much?

If you have an iBook G4, (PPC) you can't do much.
But if that is a MacBook (intel) you may be able to
upgrade the OS X, if the hardware is up to it...
Since there were about nine different build models
of MacBook (not powerpc iBook) to identify what
one you have would be the first step to knowing
what OS X and RAM upgrades it could use.
If the computer is not already at OS X 10.6.8,
it can't go online to get or use OS X 10.7.5. So,
when you more accurately describe the 'Book,
detailed information is available.
When you find the serial number, there is a web
page that can be used to identify by serial no.
http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
That'd be a first step. Or even the Model number
which should be visible on the outer case by hinge.
Good luck & happy computing!

Itunes 11.1.5 will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message? How does one work around this?

Itunes 11.1.5 (MacBook Pro,OS 10.6.8) will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message? How does one work around this?

Just reboot your laptop... While its rebooting try to reboot your phone also by holding the home and power buttonn for 10-15 seconds...When your phone is turned off try to connect it to iTunes and it will recognize your phone in recovery mode.
If you have the .ipsw file for iOS 7.0.6 saved in your desktop then in itunes press shift and click on Restore.
Select the ipsw file and let it restore.
If you dont have it downloaded then simply click on restore.
I hope it works
Cheers !

I was recently blocked from using app Jack'D. Message I receive says "Your device has been blocked". How can I get around this?

I was recently blocked from using app Jack'D. Message I receive says "Your device has been blocked". How can I get around this?

Quoted from their FAQ's:
I got an error message saying my device is blocked. Why did this happen?
There are two reasons this could happen: You have deleted your account or you have been banned due to violation of terms of service.
- You have deleted your account.
When you delete your account, you agree that your device would be blocked for at least one month. This policy is enforced in order to protect users from stalkers. (If the system allowed users to create and delete their accounts any time they wanted, the Block feature would be compromised and wouldn't be able to protect users effectively.) Please understand this is not a punishment but a security measure intended to keep all of our users safe.
- You have been banned due to violation of terms of service.
Users of this mobile application are required to comply with our terms of service and instructions provided by our service team. The most common violations include, but are not limited to: Creating multiple accounts, uploading pictures not complying with our terms, and abusing the Report feature. In most situations, you will get a warning before you are banned from the app. If you receive a warning from our service team, please read it carefully and take it seriously. If anything is not clear, please contact user support for clarification.

This article, from the FAQ list at the top of this forum, is valid for all versions, since it may be a problem for any.

The problem is not so much with Premiere Elements as it is with challenges faces in the operating system registry. Basically, DVD burner programs, like Nero, which are installed on your computer at the factory, refuse to share access to the DVD burner with other programs.
