How Limiting a switch

I need you guy's input. I actually own a MacBook Pro (15")but am thinking of purchasing (not to say upgrading) to a MacBook Air due to its portability.
I am actually running with 4 Gb of Ram, which is going to be my most limiting feature in the switch. Now would that be somehow compensated for with 1066MHz frontside bus as mine is in the 6 hundreds? The Ghz wont make much of a difference as mine is only 2.16 as opposed to the MBA of 2.13.
I do have a 7200 HD, but the SSD of the MBA will definitely run faster.
Cache is the same on both units, so how much of a slow down would I truly expect (from a PRACTICAL perspective) in the overall performance. Most of my work is not CPU intensive EXCEPT for Music (Logic Express and Lots of Plug ins).
Any input would definitely be appreciated.
If not, would a MBP 13 inch be more adequate? I truly need to downsize.
Thank you.

Everything should work acceptable until you get to working with Music. You are going to suffer with only 2GB of RAM. You may get by if Logic Express is the only app running.
You might put a post in the Logic Express forum to find out more info on using a MacBook or MacBook Air with Logic.

  • How can i switch off 3G in iOS 8

    It seems that this question has not been asked yet, so here it is:
    How do I switch off 3G in iOS 8 but keep the cellular data connection for receiving emails, go on the internet, etc? 3G coverage here is patchy so I expect either poor connectivity and / or quick drain of battery power because of endless searches for 3G signals.

    I Still do not understand what you mean when you ask "how can I make my iPad operate normally again?" That seems to have no relation at all to using the privacy settings.
    However, you do not have to allow any apps to have access to the items in the Privacy Settings. But remember that you may be limiting functionality in those apps if you don't allow access.
    For instance, go to Settings>Privacy>Microphone. See which apps have requested access to the iPad mic. Let's say that Google is tuned on in that setting. You can turn it off but then you will not be able to ask Google questions - you cannot use voice prompts in Google if you turn it off. All of those items work the same way, if you have another calendar app that you want to use along with the built in calendar - if you allow the other calendar app access to the iPad calendar, you can keep both calendars in sync.
    You ou have to decide what you want to allow other apps to have access to on your iPad.

    A switch port running in half duplex is basically the same as any other two hosts running half duplex between them.  When either host transmits, each has a chance to collide with a transmission from the other host.
    As frames between switch ports are buffered, hosts on two different ports, even if they transmit at the same time, won't directly collide.  Again, though, if port is running half duplex, host can collide with switch port retransmitting the other host's traffic.  I.e. two hosts, on two different ports, behave (practically) as if they were directly connected.  The advantage of a switch, however, is another two hosts transmitting to each other won't collide between the two pairs, as they would on a hub.  I.e. on a hub A<>B frames may collide with C<>D frames, but they shouldn't on a switch.
    If host ports are running in full duplex, there should be no collisions at all (which would also be true with a pair of hosts on a full duplex wire between them).
    NB: above is just for unicast when switch "knows" destination MAC's port.

  • How can I switch the region code on MBP w/ DVD drive for the 5th and final time?

    How can I switch the region code on MBP w/ DVD drive for the 5th and final time? It brings up the window with that world map to do it, including the warning that "this is the 5th and final time I can do this", when inserting a DVD and opening "DVD Player", but it never executes my click on the "Change Drive Region" button prompt.
    VLC or Quicktime Player won't play it either, but won't bring up that window to change Region Code anyway....
    Otherwise, I'm not having any other issues with this MBP at all. Peak performance on all counts :-)
    I tried resetting SMC after chatting w/ Apple Support, but it didn't help.
    That was the link they provided. Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac
    Tried zapping PRAM as well.
    Thanks for any clues, Rene

    Region encoding is the mechanism that enables motion picture studios to control the worldwide release of their movies. It is required by the DVD Forum (http://www.dvdforum.org/forum.shtml) in all commercial hardware DVD players. Every DVD-Video disc contains one byte of data representing a region code, which limits where the disc can be played.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2397
    Once you have set the region in DVD Player five times it cannot be changed. However see this also:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA25416?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Instead, use VLC to view videos from different regions:

  • HT201084 My family shares one Apple ID on multiple devices.  How do I switch everyone over to their own Apple ID without having to erase their iphones and ipads?

    My family currently shares one Apple ID on multiple devices and has for quite awhile.  How do I switch everyone over to their own Apple ID and the Family Sharing without having to erase their iphones and ipads?

    Thank you again for your time, GB.
    I set up individual Apple ID's for my children so that they could have their own Apple ID on their individual iPad minis (gifts from grandparents last year).  When I go to iCloud under Settings, I see my Apple ID listed at the top, then my children's listed under Family Sharing.  So the device is still using my Apple ID for iCloud, iTunes, etc., correct?
    To "assign" their own Apple ID to their own iPad mini, I would need to "Sign Out" from my Apple ID.  When I attempt to do so, I receive a warning that all of the Documents and Data will be lost/deleted. 
    So, instead of doing this, I figured out that I could do what you suggested.  Signing in using a child's Apple ID will allow her/him to use Game Center, FaceTime, and Messages just fine.  However, using their Apple ID for iTunes & App Store proved to be a problem:  Purchased Music and Movies appeared in iTunes, but my Purchased Apps did not appear.  Some Apps even disappeared, e.g. Proloquo4Text (a $99 app to help my son speak with his iPad).
    So I reverted to using my Apple ID for iTunes & App Store, and I get everything that I want, EXCEPT for the iCloud storage for each Apple ID.
    So that's when I started wondering how Family Sharing was really benefiting me ~ It was a lot of work (deleting apps to allow space to download iOS 8, etc) without any benefit that I can see.  UNLESS I find a means to allow me to sign in each iPad's iCloud account with a different AppleID, then perhaps restore the Documents and Data from a backup?  Would that work?
    Thanks.

  • How do I switch my apple Id I use in the iTunes store to the one I have on iCloud?

    how do I switch my apple Id I use in the iTunes store to the one I have on iCloud?

    You can simply sign out and sign in with the different ID. However, if you have any protected media - movies, or songs purchased before they stopped protecting them - you will not be able to play them, so in that case you are rather stuck.
    You can't merge accounts or transfer iTunes purchases from one Apple ID to another: but there is no problem about using two IDs. Use your iCloud ID for iCloud for syncing email, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and PhotoStream; use your other Apple ID as before for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match.
    There's no conflict about doing this, and you won't even notice as Keychain will log you in with the correct ID in each case. It's also better security not to have your iTunes login also your email address, given the number of complaints about hacked iTunes accounts.

  • Someone keeps putting my iPhone into lost mode in my other cloud account, and I keep getting out. How do I switch the cloud account to this one, so they won't be able to do it again

    Well, for the last week someones been putting my iPhone constantly in lost mode using my apple account and I keep getting out because I know my own password. I want to change the password but two other people I know use it, (who definetly wouldn't do this), someone else probably got ahold of the account and is spamming the phones into lost mode. I'm not in lost mode currently by the way. This repetition is really a hassle for me because I'm not always connected to the internet to get out of the lost mode, a few days ago, I went on a 12 hour flight and both my apple devices were probably put into the lost mode and I wasn't able to use my iPhone or iPad to do work and entertainment purposes. I was literally sitting there for 12 hours! So now that you sat through my problem, which I thank you for greatly, how do I switch apple/cloud accounts on my devices so this won't happen again? I hope you can give my solution, if there is one out there, and thank you in advance for atleast trying to solve my problem.

    The only way this can happen is with access to your id and password

    I realize that my wife could make her own iTunes account; however, she's been using mine for about 2 years now and this hasn't been an issue.  I guess with the Family Sharing she can have access to all of our music and apps now with her own account. 
    I'll have to see if unchecking our emails resolves this issue.

  • How do you switch from one iTunes account to another on your apple tv?

    How do you switch from one iTunes account to another on your apple tv?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    I assume you do mean a different account and not simply a different iTunes library. Unfortunately, in order to switch accounts, you would need to log out and log in to the second account.

  • How do I switch my iphone 4s from one apple id to another apple id?

    How can I switch my phone from one Apple ID to another Apple ID and keep all my apps/information?
    I want to use the same ID between my ipod and iphone.
    Is this possible?

    I'm assuming each device uses its own icloud account and you want them both to use the same account, but not lose data from the device you will do the switch on.  If this is the case you need to copy the data from the "old" account to the other account ....
    When connected to the account you want to GET data from, Go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. 
    When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone. 
    After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to this new account.
    Note that this only affects the "Apple data" like contacts, calendars, reminders, etc.  Many third party apps also use iCloud to store data files there.  These files may be lost in the process, unless the apps also keep the data locally on the device.
    NOTE:  Photos in the photo stream (if you use it) will not transfer to the new account.  It is advised that you save the photos to a computer before performing the account switch. 

  • How do I switch my main and second iClound accounts?

    Hello all,
    This is not a problem with a @me account (which I don't have), but just I actually have to Apple IDs: one on the French store, associated with a credit card and that I use the most, the other one on the Korean store, with no credit card, and that I use only for the apps I cannot get through the French one.
    After the latest update for Lion on my Mac, it asked me to sign in for iCloud, which I did using my French account. The same thing happened after updating to iOS5 on my iPhone: I chose the French account when prompted with the question.
    But for some reason, I now have 2 accounts in "Mail, Contacts and Calendar" on the iPhone (not on the Mac): the first on the list (and which is considered the main one by the phone) is the Korean one (why??), with all the settings turned of except "Find my iPhone". The second one is the one I just set up with my French ID, and this one has a few options turned on, but is missing Photo Stream, Documents and BackUp, as it says this is only available for my main account.
    How do I switch these two accounts? I tried to click on "delete the account" at the bottom of the page for the one that is considered as the main by the phone (Korean ID), so that I can sign in again with the real main ID (French one), but then it tells me that everything that has been stored on the cloud will be removed from the phone… So I am not too sure about what to do. I guess "deleting" the Korean one won't change much because all the options are turned off. But then what happens with the other account? Will it automatically become the main one and get the options that were missing? Do I have to sign in again on the same page with the proper address?
    Thank you for your help!

    Sarah,
    From what it sounds like, you are pretty new to making websites and managing where the files get put for hosting. All hosts are somewhat different. I use Godaddy for hosting for the most part.
    To be sure you are doing the right thing, you need to ensure the following are in order:
    - Your domain namesneed to point to the right place on your hosting account
    If your domain names are not pointing to your hosting account with the right DNS settings, they will not display properly when you go to your website name in your web browser.
    - Your FTP settings need to be set correctly
    If you have a shared hosting space to host multiple websites, you will need to be sure that you are uploading the files for each website into the right folders. Your folders on your hard drive that contain your websites should pretty much be set up the same way as you are uploading them onto your hosting account.
    For convenience purposes, I have my domain name registration and hosting account through Godaddy. This helps to keep things simple enough that I can call them 24/7 to give me assistance when I need help configuring settings like this.
    I hope this helps. Good luck! Tom
