I have been wanting to upgrade to MacPro, can anyone please help in decision? i use mostly Creative master suite, editing photos, editing video, etc? what to buy
Hello Mac cummunity. aI have owned a lot of macslaptops to emac, imacs,but I have not yet bought a Mac pro tower.
It is time but there are so many options.
Most of the yearly new imac are good for a year then if you need to upgrade it is limited in doing so.
The Mac Pro seems to have the ability to upgrade and expand along with enough speed to process audio, video, and pictures.
But agian there are many options?
quad core? or 12 core?
What type of drive bays? SSD? or HDD?
how many bays?
How much RAM should i be able to upgrade to 32gb or 64gb? please help
Again for using master creative suite from adobe and other PRO type photo, video, and audio applications, --speed and accuracy with the ability to have multiple applications open at the same time.
flashdrive or solid state drives?
please advise
I am looking for a tower Mac Pro ( do they still come with snow leopard installed or are they all Lion?)
again
please advise
thanks
scott
All of those are discussed for last two years.
6-core 3.4GzHz ~$3000 with stock 6GB RAM - replace with 24-48GB.
You probably don't need 12-core but see what you can configure
You can find a lot if you read through and try to digest (give yourself a day or three)

PCIe SSDs can add fast 1TB storage too
An SSD boot drive and 4 x whatever you want - 4 x 2TB probably minimum, or 4 x 10K WD VR 1TB (the fastest non-SSD).

I have been using GRAB to capture screen displays. It has just stopped working since the last OSX Upgrade. Can anyone, please help restore functionality?
Thanks for that. I did as suggested but when I tried again, it still did not work. Another com.apple.Grab.plist appeared in the Library.
I now have the following files in Library
file://localhost/Users/peterpatel/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Grab.LSSharedFil eList.plist
file://localhost/Users/peterpatel/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Grab.LSSharedFil eList.plist.lockfile
file://localhost/Users/peterpatel/Library/Preferences/
file://localhost/Users/peterpatel/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Grab.plist.lockf ile
What do you suggest I do now? -
Hi friends, I have a Mac Pro OS X 10.5.8, I want to upgrade newer version its possible, please help to get a solution
thanks
MujeebSee options below:
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
terms apply.
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply. -
I upgraded to mountain lion a week ago and now on startup of my macbook pro, microsoft excel and word start up automatically and then crash? very strange can anyone please help? I have checked the login items under users and groups and there is nothing.
Are you using the Office for Mac 2011 version, as you need to do? The Office for Mac 2004 is Not at all compatible with Mountain Lion, and the 2008 version has been noted to have some problems running with ML.

ever since i put a child lock on my Mac its never been the same .. now i cant even open my yahoo mail without it wanting me to reinstall this, can someone please help me work this out
What "child lock" are you talking about?
Do you mean you set up a Managed account (Parental Controls), or some other software?
For Parental Controls, select the account in Users & Groups and uncheck the "Enable parental controls" checkbox. -
Dear all,
Since wednesday morning the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth of my iPhone 4S have not been wirking any more. They appear as "unactive". I restored the system, updated it to 7.0.4., but nothing changed. Can anyone please help me?Last night I wiped the phone and did a complete restore. Lo and behold the wifi was working again after the restore finished. GREAT. 30 minutes later went to look at the phone and no wifi again, great!
So if my wifi chip coincidentally fried itself during the update, I supposed it coincidentally unfried itself during the restore, only to fry itself again later. Clever chips these. -

WHEN I TURN MY IPHONE 3S ON IT ASKS ME TO CONNECT TO ITUNES AND RESTORE. I HAVE DONE THIS 10 TIMES AND STILL GET THE SAME SCREEN. CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP??
Has your phone been jailbroken? If so, you will likely never get it to work again.
You can try placing your phone in DFU mode (search google) and restoring. -

Hi,
I have recently updated my iMac from OS x mountain lion to OS X Mavericks.
After that I can't upload any video and some files to my personal email account.
I have tried to send a small video clip to the sender as attachment. i have done this before
with the same video same and same email account. This problem found just after installed the
OS X Movericks. Can anyone please help me to sort this problem.
Thanks.
RomanPlease follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in earlier versions there is only one.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. -
buy a iphone 5s but I stole it yesterday and wanted to know if you can track please help me, buy a iphone 5s but I stole it yesterday and wanted to know if you can track please help me
Ok.
Did you ever have possession of this phone?
Or did you get lost in the mail?
You're not answering the question I'm asking, so it's really hard to help you.
As already stated by Chris and I you can only track your phone if you had findmyiphone enabled in icloud settings.
Then you can log into icloud.com and use the find my iphone app.
Since you said you don't have internet, then you can't track it. -

Hi everyone, I need some help big time. I was currently running the IOS 6.0.1 on my iphone 4 and I could sync and transfer music to my phone via my iTunes account. But I updated my phone to the new IOS 6.1 and now I can not transfer music onto my iphone, all it does is tries to sync the songs but it doesn't. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes back onto my laptop yet it still does not work. Can anyone please help me.
Everything is Sorted!
The release of iTunes 11.0.2 and iOS 6.1.2 for my iPhone 4, seems to have sorted everything. I can now sync music, films and photos between my MacBook and my phone.
I was dubious about blindly doing the updates but decided they couldn't really mess up any further functionality so I went for it and it's sorted now.

Hi can anyone please help. My I Phone is in recovery mode. I have loads of pics and vids including my little girl counting to ten for the first time.
Can I recover these files or have I lost them? I lost the phone last week and it was returned working but with an update to install I did this and it shut down.
If anyone can please help I would be eternally in your debt I have loads of sentimental pctures in here but cant get to them.Sorry, but if it's in recovery mode, anything on the phone is already gone. If you had PhotoStream turned on, hopefully the photos will still be out there.
You have no choice at this point but to restore from your last backup. -
I am using Mandriva Linux now.
But I am using Firefox 3.6.8, but I cannot install java plugin in it.
Can anyone please help me how to install it?The plugins folder in the Firefox installation folder doesn't exist by default. There is no default plugin in Firefox 4, so that folder would be empty and in thus not included. If you want to use that location then you need to create a plugins folder.
Did you try /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins ?
