I bought a new 13 macbook pro with 4gb and would like to get aperture 3.4.3.  Will it require too much ram for my computer?  Thanks

I just bought a macbook pro 13" with 4gb and would like to get aperture on it.  Will aperture require too much ram for my computer?  Thanks for any support.

I just bought a macbook pro 13" with 4gb
I have been using Aperture on such a system, and it was o.k. with Snowleopard and moderately sized images. After I upgraded to Lion and started to user larger image files - 30 MB tiffs, I saw the occasional beachball spinning. You should be prepared to quit other applications that will hog the RAM (like Safari), when working with Aperture on Lion or Mt. Lion with only 4 GB. If you can, follow Frank Caggiano's recommendation and upgrade to 8GB. It will make a large difference.

  • I just bought a new apple MacBook Pro with retina and it has froze on me twice today. Anybody know why this is happening?

    I just bought myself a brand new apple MacBook Pro yesterday. Today while using it it has froze on me twice for no apparent reason. Does anyone know why this is happening?

    Or have it replaced.  Unless you've added a bunch of strange stuff, this shouldn't happen to a brand new one.   Let your local Apple Store get you going with a MBP that works perfectly.

    I have a Macbook 2007/08 model and the charger has decided to pack in. I have also recently purchased a Macbook Pro 2013 model and would like to know if there is an adaptor available that I can use on my Macbook Pro charger to charge the Macbook.

    You can get a new third party 60W power adapter on eBay for under $20.

  • Got the new MAcBook Air with Lion, and would like to sell the previous model. How do I delete everything?

    Hi guys.
    I got the all new MacBook Air 11" with Lion yesterday, and would like to sell the previous model (it was with SnowLeopard).
    What do I have to do to delete everything, including my account? Do I need the SuperDrive or is it possibile without one?
    Thanks!

    Erase and Install OSX Snow Leopard http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3910
    And yes, you need the SuperDrive for this.

  • I just got a brand new 13" Macbook pro with Lion and the battery life is terrible. i just got a brand new macbook pro 13in a few weeks ago and everything is fine except the battery life is terrible!

    i have seen many other threads about this, but i just want to know if anyone has found a fix that actually works? or do i just need to wait for apple to send a fix in their next update?

    Suppose you elaborate on what you are doing with the MBP that makes the battery life terrible.

  • I had iweb on my last computer - bought a new 2013 macbook pro a few months ago and it's gone.  I have a webpage I build on it and now I need to get back in to update it.  Help.

    i had iweb on my last computer - bought a new 2013 macbook pro a few months ago and it's gone.  I have a webpage I build on it and now I need to get back in to update it.  Help.

    Well of course you won't have iWeb on a new MacBook from this year.  iWeb has not shipped on new Macs for a long time now and Apple has not sold iLife through its stores or online for over a year and does not support iWeb any longer.
    If you want iWeb now, you will either need to purchase a new copy of iLife or try and find the old install discs from your old Mac and re-install iWeb from that disc.  It also depends on what iWeb version you were using too - iWeb 08 or 09?  If 08, then this is not compatible with Mavericks which will be running on a new Mac, so you'll need iWeb 09 for this.  If you can find your old install discs and they are iWeb 09 then go ahead and use these, but if not, you will have to purchase the iLife 09 or 11 boxed set from Amazon and both of these contain iWeb 09 and you can then install it.
    Also, when you set up your new Mac, did you migrate info over?  If you had built a website on your old Mac, then you need to data file where all iWeb info is stored and that is called your domain.sites file and you need this file to be transferred if you want your website back again.
    Can you get access to thhis file on your old Mac and transfer it?  If you can then fine, you can access your website again, but if not, you are out of luck and you'll have to re-build your website from scratch using iWeb.
    If you don't have iWeb, then now might be a good time to move forward and look at the many alternatives that are out there such as RapidWeaver, Sandvox, and EverWeb which is billed as an iWeb replacement and is very much like iWeb, but with SEO and the ability to create drop down menus built in (check out http://www.everwebapp.com). Other alternatives also include Flux 4, Freeway Pro and Express and WebAcapella 4.
    Have a look and most of these allow you to download free trials so you can try before you buy.

    NicholasLiban -
       When you use the Lion restore as described, it does a fresh install on the hard drive that you can select at the beginning of the process.  This provides a complete install of the very latest version of Lion, including the recovery partition.  The drive that you choose for the installation destination winds up like what you would have on a brand new computer from Apple.

  • I have the new macbook pro with retina and I am trying to back up with wd passport for mac and is telling me it is going to take 7days

    I have the new macbook pro with retina and I am trying to back it up, with wd passport for mac and is telling me it is going to take 7days. Any Ideas? Im afraid that means there is something wrong with my hard drive. I have verified the disk and it says everthing is ok.

    It seems to be a common problem that those drives don't perform well, at least not with Time Machine.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Enter the word "Starting" (without the quotes) in the String Matching text field. You should now see log messages with the words "Starting * backup," where * represents any of the words "automatic," "manual," or "standard." Note the timestamp of the last such message. Clear the text field and scroll back in the log to that time. Post the messages timestamped from then until the end of the backup, or the end of the log if that's not clear.
    Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don't post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
    Some personal information, such as the names of your files, may be included — edit that out, too, but don’t remove the context.
