Macbook Pro 15" i7 not a good gaming computer?

I was told that the MBP 15" i7 wasn't good for gaming..Is this true? I thought that it was pretty good for gaming. I'm not talking about intense gaming. Just maybe some NFS or like a couple of MMORPG's. Any input on this?

The best place to ask that kind of question is over in the MacBook Pro hardware forums:

I am using my sons old computer. i thought he removed everything from it, i downloaded itunes since it was not on there from him. i can log in with my email address and password but i get his playlist. how can i see my playlist?

i am using my sons old computer, as far as i can see he uninstalled itunes, so i downloaded itunes. I can log in under my email and password but i only see his playlist!!! how can i get to my playlist???
I know this should be simple!!! but i am not Itunes smart?
my original playlist/acct was on another computer that we got rid of.
I have been downloading songs on my Ipod for about a year without logging onto a computer.
Maybe i am saying this wrong, i mean my library of songs. i can only see his songs not mine.

Your songs would only be there if you put them there. They do not magically appear in another place.
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
What happens when you try to redownload it ? What you can redownload will show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes - does that album show there ? If music shows there but not that album then is it hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 ?

Gaming Computer - Tower

Getting ready to buy a gaming computer for my son. He wants to play the StarWars Games, Starcraft, etc. Wondering what operating system is the best for gaming...Windows 7 or Windows 8. Also, wondering if Ibuypower and cyberpower are good computers or should I go with Dell? Not wanting to go over $1000.00. Bestbuy.com has some interesting units from $749. - $999. Wondering if we need 1TB or if 500Gig is enough. Also, Intel verse AMD? So many choices....and just when I think I settle into a unit, it goes into the Sold Out status. But, have notice that they come pack into stock....if you wait.
Help,
Thanks,
Barb

When it comes to gaming and multimedia I ALWAYS recommend Intel based processors. AMD are very good but they build their processors for a different market. With Intel processors you have 2 ways your can go. The Intel I7 which is the top tier series and then the Intel I5. The Intel I7 does offer some beneficial abilties but many will not play that big of a roll in gaming. I would save the money and get an I5 and spend a little more money to get a good graphics card. There is a Dell XPS desktop on bby.com (SKU:6877726) that has an Intel I5 processor, 8GB ram (upgradable) and a 1TB hard drive. The hard drive wont make much of a difference in terms of speed, but it will in how many games can be installed and what can be saved. Think movies, music and pictures. You would be hard pressed to find a performance desktop with much less then 1TB of space because the cost of hard drives has come down so much since the past years. Since this desktop computer already has a dedicated graphics card (ATI HD 7570) it should have a good power supply to support a better graphics card but you may need to upgrade the power supply. I cannot see what the wattage of the power supply it comes with. With that said, you can get by with that graphics card that it comes with but like I said before, Save the money with the step down in the processor and get a better graphics card. It will pay off big time in performance. For the graphics card I recomment the Nvidia 660 (sku:7001204) or Nvidia 660TI (sku:6208848). Both are great, the TI version offers some added benefits over none TI card that make a world of difference in the games performance. Plus I have the 660TI and I LOVE it. With what I recommended with the desktop computer and the graphics card you will be able to stay within your budget and get a gaming computer that will play any game out right now with outstanding performance and last for a few years at the least. If you have any more questions feel free to ask.

1GB 1st Generation iPod Nano USB Device Not Recognized on any computer

I just recently received a free 1st generation 1GB iPod nano from a friend because they couldn't get it to work. I figured I'd take a crack at it and hopefully get a working, free iPod out of the deal...
It already had music loaded on it (mostly a bunch of garbage), so like anyone else in my position I proceeded to reformat the little sucker and wipe its slate clean.
Here is what happens when I try to connect the nano to ANY computer:
Here is how the nano shows up in device manager:
This was the original problem I was having with my desktop PC which is running Windows XP Home with SP2 and all the latest Windows updates. It is running iTunes 7.5.0.20, w/ latest iPod updater software version 1.2.3.
Prior to testing the 1st gen. 1GB iPod nano, I had been charging and syncing my 5th generation 60GB iPod classic on my desktop PC using the same exact cable. All of my USB ports are in working, functional condition and order. I even have “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power” unchecked under USB Root Hub Properties.
I tried a couple different USB ports and I used another cable, no luck. So I moved on to my Fujitsu laptop running Windows Media Center Edition, all latest Windows updates, same version of iTunes and iPod software (the difference being that I DO NOT sync any iPods to it, nor do I have any music on it). SAME EXACT PROBLEM, same message bubble, same entry in device manager, and same lack of driver availability.
Thinking maybe it’s just a “PeeCee” thing I dug out my old PowerBook G4 running the ancient Mac OS 10.2. Keep in mind this thing only has a 400 MHz G4 processor, 512MB RAM, 30GB hardrive, and USB 1.1 ports. The iPod nano wouldn’t even give a hint that it existed when I plugged it in.
I have tried every single little Apple trick available. I’ve done the forced restart while connected and while not connected to the computer. I’ve done forced disk mode while connected and while not. I’ve run iTunes diagnostic tests on connected devices. I’ve messed with USB port settings. I’ve tried two different USB 2.0 iPod cables. I tested my dad’s 8GB 2nd generation iPod nano to see if it linked up with my desktop and my laptop IT DOES. I even tried my 60GB 5th gen iPod classic OVER AGAIN to see if it still worked, IT DOES.
Also, this 1st gen iPod nano will not charge when hooked to the computer through USB. When I plug it in, between the time it’s plugged in and when the “USB device recognized” bubble pops up the battery icon shows it is charging, but as soon as that bubble pops up it disappears and discontinues pretending to charge.
On my Fujitsu laptop, I uninstalled everything having to do with Apple. I uninstalled iTunes, Apple Software Update, everything. Restarting after it all of course. Then I installed the old iPod Software Updater from 6-28-2006. I was pretty sure this wouldn’t work because the iPod isn’t even recognized by the computer. In order for the iPod to work in the iPod Software Updater or iTunes it has to first be recognized at the basic Windows level. Which it isn’t…
I have done research all across the net and the only real answer I found was that the iPod Nano’s internal USB controller is dead. I’m 99% sure it has nothing to do with my laptop, desktop, USB cables, software, or drivers. What do you guys think?

Nope I have not figured anything out since I posted this. The closest answer I've found is that it's the internal USB controller which has gone bad. If that's the case than there is really nothing more I can do.
I did find one opening and that was the diagnostic screen. You get to it by holding down the Menu and Center buttons, as soon as the iPod resets hold down the Left and Center buttons, the iPod will beep and then it will go to a diagnostic screen. Maybe somewhere in there you can find the problem I don't know how to use it though.

My iPod Shuffle 4th generation 2GB is not recognized by My Computer in Windows or under Devices in iTunes.

Everyone has the same problems. My iPod has been plugged in properly, I have followed all the support suggestions but nothing works. HELP PLEASE!

I have downloaded that utility but can not use it, as
when I plug the shuffle into the USB port, it is not
recognized by either computer I am using. I can not
reset or restore, because in order to do that the
computer would have to know the shuffle is plugged in
and it doesnt. I have tried this on two different
computers and get the same result, so I dont think
its a computer issue, its an ipod issue. I also used
to be albe to play the shuffle on the Xbox 360 and
now can not.
Just as a check, did you actually follow the THESE directions...EXACTLY?
Using iPod shuffle Reset Utility
1. Quit all running applications on your computer.
2. Open the iPod shuffle Reset Utility.
3. Connect iPod shuffle to a USB port on your computer. Do not connect iPod shuffle to a USB port on your keyboard or other non-powered USB hub.
4. Click the Restore button. If prompted, enter an Admin user name and password.
5. The restore process will start.
6. When it is complete, quit iPod shuffle Reset Utility and open iTunes to sync music to your iPod shuffle.

Ipod shuffle is not recognized by any computer or itunes

I have a first gen. ipod shuffle. It does not show up in Windows or Itunes on two different computers. The original problem was that it would not skip to the next song. I was going to reset or restore it, but I can't because neither computer (dell) that i own recognizes the shuffle. Help anyone?

BT home-hub is HORRIBLE for gaming.

I'm using the home-hub 1.0 on my computer, I was sent the latest one but it turns out it does not even work on my system (upon calling your call centre, apparently I have to go out of my way to update my hard wear from 2007-08 which is unacceptable).
Let me give you an example with one of my games I use called Killing Floor and the program it runs on called Steam;
It is because the router is deciding to disconnect your game 1 minute after getting a server list. There is a rule preset, and hidden, on the router on UDP ports 27010-27011 which has a timeout of 1 minute. When Killing Floor connects to the Steam master server, usually on one of these two ports, this rule is triggered. However, after the initial connection, there is no data passed from the master server, and Killing Floor communicates directly with each server. Exactly one minute after clicking on Internet Games in KF, or clicking refresh, and receiving the initial data from Steam, this rule expires, because no more data has been passed, and it considers the connection closed. This has the effect of messing up the connection to the server, because it now wants to change the port that it is using to transmit or receive data on, and obviously the server wants to keep using this port. Hence you become to all intents and purposes, out of sync with the server.
I've tried port forwarding from the example list, I have even tried manually entering port codes. Nothing works, I still get the same problems and connection drops. I would try to go into the Telnet command prompt to delete this stupid rule the Home-hub uses to stop me playing games, but guess what? The new Home Hubs, to the best of my knowledge, have this feature missing or locked, and it was disabled on the earlier ones through updates. Thanks for that.
I'm not even sure if my hub updates at all and recently, my hub keeps losing connection. This is horrible service I am getting and I am more inclined to rip out this router and use a custom one to actually use the Internet and play games online.

On games that use a Source game directly then I have a few problems. When I first connect to a server I will drop out, second rejoin works fine. This has started to effect other games now when it never used to, like WoW.
I recently installed the latest Hub that I had with success (1.5 I think) but I'm still getting the same problems, so I tried to go to Applications and Sharing in my Hub-manager controls and I selected the device 'Steam Games' and 'World of Warcraft' and clicked add and then apply. So I join WoW and 1 minuet in I still get dropout problems, whats contributing to this? I am starting to believe like others have stated that something has happened to the net speed because it never used to do this with WoW itself. I don't want to risk breaking my hub by trying to manually update the firm-wire etc, so I might try and call BT tomorrow and ask for assistance.
I have tried accessing the Telnet numerous times but I always get the same message "could not open connection to host on Port 23: Connection failed". I am not sure how I can get this port open, anyone know how? Would be appricated. I have not tried the MTU either, guess I could try that.
This any good...wild guess... https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=1452-HCVB-6984

How can i access my sons laptop computer to set up security if i don't know his password'

How can i access my sons laptop computer to set up security if i don't know his password?

If you have your own admin account on his computer, then you don't need to access his account. However, what type of security do you mean? If you mean network security then that is done in the router, not the computer. If you are referring to Parental Controls those need to be configured via an admin account - either his or yours.

Ipod Touch ( 2nd Gen ) Drivers will not install on my computer! HELP!

We are trying to dump my 2nd generation Ipod and reload everything in it so that I can give it to my son to use- But the drivers are NOT installing in my computer, any ideas why?

What do you mean?
See:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

Some film downloads are 'not authorised on this computer' - I need help to resolve this please!

I recently bought Superman and Superman II for my son and went to transfer them to my iPhone and his iTouch, as I normally do. Superman works fine; Superman II is labelled as 'not authorised for this computer' and so I can't put it onto my devices although it plays on the Macbook. CAn someone help me to rectify this situation? Otherwise I have paid for nothing!
Thanks.

make sure all your devices are under singular apple id.
also, connect the device to itunes to add it to your account device list.
or you can go to ipod/iphone itunes store app, log in your apple id.
hope this would make it work.

Gaming computer help

I'm looking into getting a new computer to play newer games. Mine is just so old and out of date, I need to upgrade the entire thing to get a new video card.
Just need one that can run games well and not have to be upgraded for a while.
Seems like every game that comes out needs a better and better card. -.-
Not sure which processor and video card combination would be best.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/CyberPowerPC+-+Gamer+Xtreme+Desktop+-+8GB+Memory+-+1TB+Hard+Drive/689800...
This is the kind I had in mind, but I can't seem to find which ports the computer has. I know it had them before, but I can't seem to find them now.
I need a headset and microphone port.
Kind of a lot of money, so I wanted some opinions before I made a purchase!
Thanks to everyone who decided to read this far. (:

No! That computer will not run most games.
That computer has a NVIDIA GeForce GT620 graphics! The GT620 is not a gaming card.
The only good thing about that computer is the processor.
Gaming performance on a scale 1 - 10, that PC would get about a 2.5.
Just becuase it looks like it can be a gaming computer and is advertise as one, does not make it one...

Gaming Computer advice

Hello, I just want to ask what a good gaming computer(desktop) would be, right now i have this tower in mind http://www.bestbuy.com/site/cyberpowerpc-gamer-ultra-desktop-8gb-memory-2tb-hard-drive/6979369.p?id=... and this monitor in mind http://www.bestbuy.com/site/acer-20-34-led-hd-monitor/8816192.p?id=1218902549934&skuId=8816192
would that be a good setup? Any advice on this would be helpful. Thank you.

Hi Nero,
Always good to meet a fellow gamer.
Other more experienced gamers will no doubt provide you with better insight than I can, but here’s what I’ve learned over the years about customizing rigs to be the ideal setup for my budget:
Build With A Particular Game In Mind. Many of the latest or upcoming games are taking advantage of the newest hardware and software technologies. It’s always a good idea to take a look at some of the games you are interested in buying and get a sense of what their hardware requirements are going to be. Building a rig for a game you bought last year and are still playing will mean you may need to upgrade sooner than you hoped.
Never Buy Integrated Graphics. If you want to see the amazing colors and details of the game you will be buying, make sure you buy a rig with a good to great video card. “Integrated” graphics are the poor man’s choice and while functional, lack the capacity to run games at their optimal settings (or even some games at all).
Dedicated Graphics Memory Is Essential. Most gaming rigs will have dedicated memory set aside just for your graphics card. This leads to faster frame rates when rendering images (among other things). The rig you are currently looking at is 1 GB of dedicated memory. The newer rigs have between 2 – 3 GB as minimums.
Processing Speed Is Important. A 1.2 GHz rig won’t do you many favors in the gaming world. Most serious rigs start at about 2.2 (for laptops) and go from there.
Get The Latest Processor. i3s might be cheap, but i7s are where it’s at.
Hard Drive Speed Matters. Never buy 5400 rpm drives – no matter the storage available to you (do you really need 1TB of storage on your rig? Me thinks not). You want 7200 rpm if you want good gaming performance.
8GB DDR3 SDRAM Is Fine. Unless you are planning on competing with a Grey supercomputer, you don’t need to worry about spending money on solid state drives or getting more than 8 gigs of ram.
Don’t Get Windows 7. I know, I know, Windows 8 is supposed to be the pits, but it’s what we have and Microsoft will eventually reduce support of Windows 7 in order to force consumers to switch. Most future games will be designing with Windows 8 or 8.1 in mind so don’t handcuff yourself by skimping on the operating system now.
Remember You Are Not Rich. Well you might be, but gaming is a hobby and you have a life outside the gaming world (well, I hope you do!). I’ve been tempted to spend $2k on rigs before – but let’s face it, by the time five years have passed, my rig will be outdated and considered a relic (I used to upgrade my tower every three years).
Read Reviews And Research, Research, Research. I can’t emphasize this enough. Some rigs look amazing, but it’s only after we start to encounter problems that we hit the net to find out what’s going on. Oooops. It turns out that the rig I just bought was using some cheap 7200 hard drives from a fly by night company operating out of China. Had I researched in advance, I would have known this. Now I have to return to the manufacturer and wait 6 weeks while they replace my drive. Oh no - 8 weeks have now gone by and computer is still not back – I’d like to call the help desk for an update, but the staff in India keep telling me they are unable to reach the company in the U.S. to get an update. Sadly for me I did not buy from Best Buy and am now having issues with the company that were selling the same rig online for $300 cheaper. OK – so you get my point – look at the components in your rig and do a little research on the brand – a little time now could save you a major headache later on. And sometimes buying from a big box retailer is more in your favor than buying from an online cheapo store that may not be there tomorrow. If they go out of business – good luck getting your money back.
A few dollars in either direction might make all the difference. Check out the following items as some of them have i5 processors which might be better than the AMD series you are looking at (not saying it is, just giving you alternatives to consider when doing your research).
I hope this helps!
