How does a 2007 macbook compare with a 2011 one?

I know the new ones are faster processors and better ram etc but would a 2007 macbook with 2gb of ram be totally slow and obsolete compared to a 2011 model with 4gb?

You speak in extremes, I have two 2007 MB’s with 3 and 4 GB ram, and are up and running Lion. Add memory, they should support 4 GB, and will be a better, especially if you run more apps at the same time or memory-consuming apps. Otherwise, of course newer is more performant, there is no secret in this.

  • How does the print gamut compare with mobile devices?

    I need to design a document for 4 color process printing, using only colors that will reproduce correctly on other platforms, such as computer monitors, smart phones, and tablets.
    I know how the print gamut compares with the RGB gamut of monitors.
    But are the gamuts of phones and tablets the same as monitors?

    There's very little hard evidence, based on a Google search. This Anandtech page, which compares the gamut, contrast, etc. of the iPad with Android tablets is the only one I could find.

  • Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own? If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps? How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two?

    Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own? If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps? How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two? also I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?

    Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own?
    Yes, it is possible. 1 apple ID can be associated with up to 10 devices.
    If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps?
    Yes, all purchases are non-transferable.
    How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two?
    Every device associated with one apple ID through Find my iPhone is tied to that Apple ID; Find my iPhone will work in the same way with up to ten devices associated with one apple ID. You cannot enable Find my iPhone for one device across two apple IDs
    I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?
    If you have authorized a computer with the old apple ID, you can transfer old media purchased through the old to other devices via iTunes. This doesn't mean the media purchases through the old apple ID it transferred to the new account. If you plan to make future purchases and don't wish to share them with others, make your own apple ID.

  • Can I use a 2009 iMac as external display for 2007 macbook pro with DVI port only

    I have a late 2009 imac with minidisplay port and  a 2007 macbook pro with DVI port. I connected a mini diaplay port to DVI cable but all I get on the imac is a blank screen when I press F2. Can I use the imac this way?

    I'm not sure if it works with DVI but your late 2009 must be a 27". Try Command-F2 or Copmmand-Fn-F2

    how can i order macbook bro with arabic keyboard from apple store anybody can help me?

    Nobody in these forums represents Apple or any store.  In order to try to buy something, you must contact the stores directly yourself.
    I have heard that retail stores may be able to place a special order for what you want.

  • How does the newest Iphone work with Ford Sync?

    How does the new Iphone work with Ford Sync? I was thinking of purchasing the 4s but may go elsewhere if there is a better phone for the equipment in my vehicle.

    That would be a NO.. I should have done my homework before I switched to IPhone because the Bluetooth just does not want to sync with my Ford Truck. Its such an inconvience. But I see from other posts that Ford isn't the only car experiencing problems. So Hopefully Apple fixes this problem QUICKLY!

  • Does the newest macbook pro with retina display have an ethernet connection port?

  • How does operator 'less than' work with Rectangle objects?

    Just found in legacy code the following:
    private var firstRect:Rectangle;
    private var secondRect:Rectangle;
    if (firstRect < secondRect)
    // do something
    How does operator 'less than' work with Rectangle objects?
    Doc says that object is converted to number if it is not a String.
    Rectangle is not a String, though has conversion to String.
    Please help.

    IME the best way to know for sure is to experiment. The docs are only one person's best understanding of how things worked on the day, which is seldom 100% accurate. I find that even with code I wrote I can't accurately say 100% of what it does until I've worked with it for a while. Keep in mind that the docs are usually written when the code is written, so  never expect more than a rough idea from the docs.

  • How does the sync functionality work with large libraries on small devices?

    How does the sync functionality work with large libraries?
    Say I sync 100gb of photos with the new Photos app and turn on sync on a 16gb iphone. Will it fill the device up to 16gb? Can I tell it to limit to xgb so I leave room for music and apps? How does this work? Will it slow down my phone if its trying to sync 100gb across smaller devices?

    "Will the Apple TV now read directly from the Time Capsule?" ATV does not 'read' from the TC. It connects to the Mac and itunes library associated with the Mac. Of course the itunes program can 'point' to a library on the TC. You'll still need to have itunes open and the Mac powered on and not sleeping with the TC mounted to the Desktop to use ATV properly. So bottom line the use of TC just adds one more step to view files on the ATV.

    i am picking up my new ipad this morning and turning over my ipa 2 to my wife. how do i get all my info apps, etc to my new ipad and wipe pout all on my existing and then how does she log in register with my old ipad?

    Restore your new iPad from your most recent backup of your iPad2 in iTunes when you set it up, and then set up your wife's iPad2 as new device in iTunes by clicking on 'restore' on the main summary screen.
    Alternatively, you can just go to 'Settings>Reset>Erase all Contents and Settings'.
