How does a 1.1 mac pro compare to a new 2.2 ghz macbook pro - for after effects/ 3d type work?
Hi
For my home computer that I also use for some motion graphics tasks outside of work - I have a 1.1 mac pro thats getting a little long in the tooth.
My 2 preferred options at the moment are upgrade the processors to some X5355s or sell this and stump up the extra cash (lots) for a 2.2 macbook pro.
I was wondering if anyone had experience/opinions on the speed comparison between these 2 when it comes to after effects and cinema 4d rendering tasks.
Geekbench shows that I will get slightly better numbers with the macbook but does this translate directly to render speed or are there other considerations such as advantages gained with the larger mac pro architecture?
Any thoughts welcome
Thanks!

Hello! Does anyone knows if its possible to change a US keyboard of a macbook pro for a portuguese keyboard. And how much it is approximatedlly. Thanks
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You will have to return the Mac and order one with a Portuguese keyboard, if you bought it less than 14 days ago.
If not, you will have to buy a new Mac (that's because some keys may not fit onto your MacBook Pro keyboard) or just set up OS X with a Portuguese keyboard but with US keys -

How will having another icloud email benefit me. I have my work email which is all i require, but had to set up a @me account to get email on my Macbook.
I have a Mac computer that i upgraded to Mountain lion, a macbook pro and an iPhone 4s which has the latest software. all i want is simplicity and to have one email account which which will not duplicate everything 4 or 5 times.
My notes are duplicated, i have to delete my emails individually on all devices so whenever i put my phone on, all the emails i have deleted at work re-appear on my phone and again the same thing happens on my Macbook pro. I seem to spend all my time deleting emails 3 times.
Is there something simple in the set up of these that i am missing?

I have a POP Verizon e-mail address on my iMac and use Mac Mail v3.6. I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and would like to sync the e-mail so that they're the same on each machine. I've learned I must switch to IMAP...how is this done? Please dumb it down as best you can. I have this great fear that I'll lose all my e-mails in the process.

How does the iMac DC 1.83 compare...
How does the iMac DC 1.83 compare to the iMac G5 2.1?
In real world speed.
In real world features. ie: video frame rate, etc...
Any REAL hardware problems pop up yet.
Things like that.
I an most likely to get one soon, and would like to know.
Thanks
-Apple //GSThank you for taking the time to reply. I hope that others reply also so we can see how this new computer is next to the two G5 versions it is replacing in a real world way.
I am happy that the DC 1.83 is no sloth when going toe to toe with the G5 version.
Did you port over your software from the older system, and run the programs to see how things ran, or freash install them all?
Again, thanks

How do I upgrade (via Apple) SSD (to 500 GB or 1 TB) on Macbook Pro Retina 13-inch, Late 2012
How do I upgrade (via Apple) SSD (to 500 GB or 1 TB) on Macbook Pro Retina 13-inch, Late 2012.
I want to know how much Apple will charge for this (if they even do this since I don't see it on their website).Apple does not upgrade parts of a machine - they'll have it repaired under warranty, but no upgrades. You can, however, take it to an authorized service provider; no idea how much they would charge.
You can also do this yourself - here is an installation video:
http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/macbookpro_13_retinadisplay_late12_unibo dy_ssd/
I bought one of their SSDs and installed it in my 2012 MBP (not retina) - very easy to do. If you want to go this way, post back for instructions on how to clone your current drive which will make things super easy. -
How can I set up Cinema Display as a main screen and leave my macbook pro as a second screen instead?
I learned that the Dock is positioned at the chosen edge of whatever Display is positioned farthest to that side. E.g. for the Dock to be positioned on the right side of the Cinema Display (instead of the right side of the MacBook), the Cinema Display must be oriented (by dragging) to the right of the MacBook monitor on the "Arrangement" tab of the Displays Preference Panel.

Recently got a new iPod Touch 4th gen; I had previously backed up to iCloud and subscribed to iTunes Match, and then wound up syncing the new iPod to my MacBook Pro; all iCloud tunes were downloaded to Mac but won't all sync to the iPod after multiple attempts, despite all songs showing properly on the Mac and multiple syncs occurring after all songs were properly reflected on the Mac. I updated iTunes Match from the iTunes Store menu as well pre-sync.
I should mention that I had previously had the library on a Dell (which is still running) and shared it on my home network. While all iTunes purchases now show in the Dell, the Mac is the device I use for all syncs.
There appears to be no rhyme or reason to the iCloud physical sync failure - some songs were legacy, some were purchased via the PC, some on the old iPod.
The Mac shows all the songs correctly and none show iCloud status -all have been downloaded, but the downloaded songs that were previously showing up as iCloud based aren't syncing to the iPod.
Is there any way to force all music being seen by my iPod as iCloud to download to so I can listen to them offline? Is there a way to force the sync from iTunes?The "system" performed as designed. All devices syncing to one iCloud account are kept in common sync. The idea is that all such devices belong to one user. Different users should have different iCloud accounts. Once your contacts were edited, all devices were updated as well and subsequent backups (from yours and her device) reflected the changed contacts (and any other data that may have been edited like calendars). Your first task is to change your daughter over to a new account before she makes other changes.
The only way I see for getting back contacts is to restore them from a time machine backup, assuming you also have a Mac included in the account which syncs the contacts. However, I'm not sure whether time machine includes contacts from iCloud along with those that are local, "on my Mac".
Otherwise the deleted contacts are gone. -
