Have you checked your email's spam folder to make sure an email from Apple has not been put in there?

Trying to weigh ALL costs involved.
Thanks for any advice!!!

Anything you have that is powerpc code only will not run on a new machine. OS X 10.8 has no support for powerpc code (universal binary programs should be fine).
Other than that warning, without knowing exactly what programs you have, and what version you are on, it is hard to say whay will or will not migrate alright.
you might need to do some web searching and check apps at sites like roaringapps or on the programs Company web site.

Retaining iTunes database and ratings when buying new computer

Is it possible to retain the iTunes database of names/ratings if you buy a new computer?
I assume that iTunes keeps the database in the library but I'm not sure whether the ratings will remain in tact by just copying the database. Scared to try it at the moment - don't want to lose all the song details! :'-(
Cheers

Yes. Just use the Migration Assistant application.

You need to copy your iTunes Library from your Old computer, or its Backup, to your new Computer...

Serious & Important question...buying new computer

I am buying a new computer. I already tried the all in one computer, in fact I tried 3 different ones and NONE were a good experience for me. I am planning to buy HP ENVY 700-210 PC ( a tower & monitor set) but my space is VERY limited, which is why I had tried all those all in one computers. What I need to know is can I lay the tower on it's side for space reasons if I make sure there is good circulation of air around it? What damages could ensue if I do lay it on it's side... I am tired of buying a new computer every 18 months. Please advise so I know before I buy if I can or cannot lay it down vs standing upright.
Thanks much
This question was solved.

Hi,
I would not recommend operating this model on one of it's sides.
The tower has vents on both sides that need to be exposed for proper ventilation.

Buying new computer, tranferring iTunes and music files

I plan to buy a new computer in the very near future.
If I download iTunes and then log into it with my user name, will all my library and art work be there? Or do I have to do something else to take all this information from my old computer to my new computer?

*If I download iTunes and then log into it with my user name, will all my library and art work be there?*
No, nothing will be there.
You need to install iTunes onto the new computer, then copy the _iTunes folder_ (My Documents/My music/iTunes) from your old computer to the new computer.

Installing on computer, than buy new computer, pay again?

Hi,
If I install Adobe Acrobat on my current computer, but than buy a new computer in a few months, can I reinstall my Adobe Acrobat on my new computer without having to pay for it again?
Thank you!

Yes.
All you need to do is re-install the software, enter the serial number and you're done.
You can install and activate the software on up to two computers at the same time, although you can only use it on one computer at a time.

The most cost-effective long-term solution, Upgrade or Buy Newer Computer?

I am looking for the most cost-effective long term solution for me as an self-employed interior designer. I need help making a decision: Is it reasonable to upgrade my iBook G4 (RAM, operating system)(+bigger hard drive)(+buy new rechargeable battery)(+buy new portable power adapter)?; or do I need to abandon it and buy a newer apple computer (0-2 years old)?
ABOUT MY MAC:
Hardware Overview:
Machine Model: iBook G4
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (1.1)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 1.2 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 256 MB
Bus Speed: 133 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.8.7f1
I will appreciate your suggestions very much! Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi Cali and Welcome to Apple Discussions,
I think that decision would depend on how you plan to use this laptop. In addition it would depend on your client base and the image you need to project.
I used to be a commercial producer. If I was still doing that today I'd need to project a successful up to date image. My clients at the large agencies were/are attracted to the latest technologies. I would have the hippest iPhone apps and probably a 15" Unibody MacBook Pro.
I have a pro photographer client who wanted to buy an iMac a few years back but I insisted she buy a Mac Pro with at least two of the largest Cinema Monitors she could afford.
She has thanked me multiple times since she says her clients are so impressed with her images when she displays them on those large monitors.
So it would depend on how you're using the laptop and your client base.
The first thing I see with your iBook is that your RAM is pretty minimal. If you update that would be the first thing to do.
This is actually the iBook that I use and for me it's very cost effective. They're both 1.2 GHz machines. I use a 14" around the house and a !2" when we're traveling. It is very cost effective for me as I purchased them broken for under $125 total. I use salvaged drives and RAM. It works for me since my business is repair and the clients are impressed how well my 5 year old iBook works.

Thanks in advance to any responses.

Yes, but as its an upgrade you'll also be asked for the original LR2 serial number.

Taking the big leap: buying new computer, camera, color software (X-Rite), printers...would love some feedback from those who may know about fine art reproduction. I'm opting for Canon camera options, Mac Pro vs iMac, and in printers, the Epson 7600.

Friends of Digital Workflow, especially photographers,
I'm just about to buy all new studio equipment.
I have two threads to my question:
1. Want some input about iMac vs Mac Pro (with a 27' monitor), which monitor system do you prefer?
2. I am Guru level in the Creative Suite but have little knowledge base for working with Aperature. Want some feed back about pros and cons of the workflow.
I'm also investing in X-Rite Color Suite for Print so that cameras, monitors, printers and projectors may be calibrated. I've used Gretag equipment for years and know profiling quite well. This is an important issue for knowledge about how profiles interface with Aperature.
I appreciate any and all comments.
Merci,

PS You are welcome to request my personal email or phone number if you feel a lengthy discussion is an option.

Hi Frederick,
You're spending a lot of money. I will add my 2¢ -- -- but you must, as I assume you know, fully research your options.
Environment:
Start with your workspace (inc. lighting) and your clothes.
Screen:
The iMac screens are lovely, but not, from what I hear, monitor-grade accurate. For critical color work, use NEC or Eizo monitors. I use NEC, with their SpectraView II software and an X-Rite ColorMunki photospectrometer. At the time, this was the least expensive color-calibrated workflow.
Printer:
Epson's are great, imho. I use a 3880 in my studio and rent a 9900 by the hour when needed. I have read of problems (iirc) with one of the printers in the 7000 line, however. The take-home lesson that I filed in my brain was, "If you're going to spend the money on the 7000 line, just get the 9000 line."
Aperture workflow:
Aperture is a fantastic workflow tool. Since you are adept with PS, you should set PS as your external editor. Use Apertures formidable tools for storing and organizing your Images, and its robust editing tools for either all your proofing, or all but your most demanding editing needs. That said, allow a good bit of time to get the feel of Aperture. It is not at all like Bridge. But your important choice is which RAW converter you want to use. There is, imho, no reason to use Aperture if you are going to use Adobe's (or anyone else's) RAW converter.
Good luck!

Buy new computer with Yosemite and downgrade to Mountain Lion?

Is it possible to buy a new machine with Yosemite and instead somehow downgrade/revert to Mountain Lion? There's a program I like to use that is no longer updated by the developer and isn't terribly stable on the latest two releases of OS X...

No, except by running it inside a program such as VirtualBox, Parallels Desktop, or VMware Fusion.

Upgrading or buying new computer

Hello folks,
I need some help.
My current build is: normal PC, i5 3350P, 16GB RAM, GTX660. I have windows 8.1 and mac OS X 10.9.2 (hackintosh) installed on that computer. I installed OS X more for fun and to explore it as viable option to change my working OS.
After some testing I can say that photoshop is about 5-10% faster in OS X, than windows 8.1. I have more RAM available, no wacom tablet bugs and better workflow (I just LOVE mac OS color mixer, where I upgraded functionalities with plugins and is waaay better than in windows). That said, I prefer to work in OS X than windows enviroment.
But that is not my problem, my problem is slow response time of photoshop. I'm digital artist so I use photoshop mainly for drawing. brush, mixer brush, smudge and similar tools are my "main weapons" and all of those seem slow or have significant "lag". I tried many settings os OS itself, photoshop and brush settings, but nothing really improved my work. I currently work on mostly around 1920x1080 resolution with some pieces reaching 4000x4000 or maybe even more. But 4000x4000 picture is a big problem for my system and HD resolution is on edge of frustration. Sometimes I get lost in my work and I'm moving pen over screen pretty fast and photoshop just can't keep up with me, sometimes even with simple brush. I would love to swithc to 4K resolution this year so I can make bigger pictures and much more details.
Now my question is: is it possible to get rid of that lag? I have asked adobe and they haven't give me any good answer on that so I'm mainly asking people with better systems if they experience any lag at all?
I'm thinking about upgrading my system or buying mac pro (which would be currently overkill for me as I'm still learning to draw and use programs but I plan to learn about drawing and animation and some 3D modelling as well, but nothing too fancy). I was looking at 6-core, 16-32GB, 512GB, 2x D300 mac pro system, but it's pricetag is 4300+€ in my country and that is kinda pulling me off about my decision. I would gladly pay out that kind of money if I would be assured that my work would be smooth, but I don't really know if it is that much of an upgrade over my current system or in other words: is it worth buying it if I already have my computer that is not even outdated yet?
Thank you for your help and time reading my wall of text Sorry about english.
Best regards.

I don't think I've ever seen a Photoshop without brush lag, no matter what system it's running under. There's always going to be a brush lag, no matter how small it is. Even on a Wacom Cintiq, when you glide the cursor around the screen without pressing the pen down, the cursor still lags behind your hand ever so slightly - this is the hardware. Also, I haven't seen any mention of what DPI anyone is using for their images - is it 72dpi or , say, 300dpi? Makes a *huge* difference.
I can have a 300dpi, 4000px x 4000px document, and paint with a normal soft brush at 400 pixels with very small lag time - but the lag is definitely there. Not enough to slow things down in a majro way though, I'm used to it and the lag time is very short. If I reduce that image size down to 72dpi, then the lag is even less.
For mixer brush, it will operate much slower if 'sample all layers' is ticked on. If you turn off this option, the brush will speed up dramatically. Also, I have had many instances where for unknown reasons, the mixer brush just slows down to a screeching halt, out of nowhere. And this is with 'sample all layers' turned off. I find that a way to fix it sometimes is click somewhere outside of my document window (click somewhere on the gray empty space in behind the document window) and then for whatever reason it's fixed. A bug maybe, I don't know. Also, your rbush spacing is a major issue as well - if your spacing is set to 1, then the brush is going to be slow. You can bump that up to 10 and maybe a bit higher, and not really see a visual difference in your painting (at least with the mixer brush, and the brush will really speed up (works for both normal brush and mixer brush though).
Anyhow, I think that even with a top of the line system like that, you're still going to get a lag under random circumstances - I'm not sure that investing that sort of $$$ is going to give you exactly what you want, because I don't know if Photoshop is capable of giving the kind of performance you 're looking for at all times. That's a lot of $$$ just to get rid of a brush lag - think about it. If the lag is that bad, I would consider spending a lot more time experimenting to find out what you can do to improve it, instead of dumping that sort of coin into something that's probably not going to solve your problem 100% of the time.
For what it's worth, I'm running a Windows7 64-bit i5 4570, 16GB ram, simple on-board video, and old hard drives... the scratch disk is on an older partitoned sata2 drive... and no problems here working with larger documents (300dpi 4000px x 4000px and even much larger than that. Brush lag is always minimal.
I know there will always be brush lag - it's the basic limitation of USB and CPU processing data from USB. I actually use cintiq which is very good tool and I got used to some little lag. But it is impossible to work when I get more than 2 second lag or even more. I usually do my work at 300dpi or 110dpi, never less and never more and I get some lag already at 100px brush and it's not only normal brush, but mixer and smudge tool as well. I use mixer smudge and normal soft brush a lot at blending and mixing colours.
I'm also trying to avoid using "sample all layers" on some tools, but sometimes some things are on different layers and I just can't merge them up because it would screw up my work. Instead I hide all uneeded layers and work only on 2 or 3 working layers. That seems to help, but when I get 2+ second lag, nothing helps, not even disabling sampling over all layers. I have tried many things, settings, drivers, nothing really really worked. I written to adobe and I got nothing usefull back from them.
Also this investment is not only because of lag brush but also because:
-I would love to buy myself 4K monitor and give back cintiq to my friend who lend it to me. Cintiq is great, don't get me wrong, but still very very limited at resolution and quality of picture isn't really the one of top monitor models.
-I would like to have a real mac instead of "hackintosh", because this just isn't working as it should (some things just doesn't work because it's fitting some software on hardware that is not designed for, no USB 3.0, sleep doesn't work,...). I found mac way better to work with than windows (less work distraction, better support programs, less clutter, not hassle about drivers, viruses and stuff like that anymore,...). I actually use windows now only for gaming when I have some free time.
-I would like to buy myself a good computer that will last me at least 3+ years. Until now I was upgrading my computer every year or two. Sometimes only GFX card, sometimes just some more RAM, sometimes new disk, sometimes whole new matherboard with CPU,... Never I had really really good computer. Every year I spend about 1000€ on computer parts and never I had good system tow work/play with.
As my options at apple computers are very limited I have only 2 actually that are able to run 4K display:
-mac pro - great design and idea. Computer is small enough to put it in backpack and carry it around and performance is good.
-macbook pro - I really don't need mobile computer, well at least not in a notebook format. Here performance suffers on account of mobility. In addition to everything I also don't really need built in monitor, because I will get myself better one.
There is also one more option I could go for:
-change GFX card on my current system that would support 4K monitor, but that would mean I'm still stuck with current CPU which just can't handle stuff I do and also stuck with "hackintosh".
I have read somewhere that 4th generation of intel CPU's are much better than 3rd generation, specifically GPU part. My CPU doesn't have a GPU as I got it cheaper and I bought GTX660 anyway. But that was a little mistake as nvidia only supports openCL 1.1 and AMD cards supprot openCL 1.2 which can be much faster in some circumstances. I can't upgrade to 4th generation without changing my motherboard as well and even that won't be much of an upgrade.
Thing is that with my current system I can barely work on 1920x1080 @300dpi.
I'm thinking a lot about that investment as it is really big even for me. I would just like to be sure if it is big enough upgrade to justify the cost or not. Few weeks ago when mac pro got released I tried it at apple store and played a bit and it is ultra fast. The test I have done wasn't really extensive as only had few mintues because more people were there waiting to try it out.

I cant buy new songs on a new computer.
