I'm getting ready for college, my major is interior architecture and design, is macbook compatible for that?

Is macbook easy to use for that with the special programs ? And if it is which one of the available macbook is better ? Concerning ram, storage, size ...
Please i want a detailed answer to help me chose well.
I know macbook is the best in quality and everything but i hope it won't make things harder on me.
And thanks.

See what the department at the university recommends as a start so you are sure the software will be compatible.
The MacBook Pro is very capable and great for design work, but you do need to be sure the school is not using Windows-only software.  If the Mac is acceptable, then the model is up to you, but the MacBook Pro Retina will give the best screen image, and the 15" is large enough to make the images very legible.  Go for the most memory you can afford at the outset as the Retinas are not upgradable.

  • HT1338 for itunes 10.7 it is saying that my mac need version OS X needs to be version 10.8.6 - how do i get this? There are no current software updtes and i cant use iTunes for my new iphone 5

    For itunes 10.7 it is saying that my mac need version OS X needs to be version 10.8.6 - how do i get this? There are no current software updates and i cant use iTunes for my new iphone 5

    I think you meant 10.6.8, not 10.8.6
    It requires an upgrade, instead of a free update.
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
    http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    It's been pulled from the online store & Apple Stores, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard.
    Buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Call Apple Sales...in the US: 1-800-MY-APPLE. Or Support... 1-800-275-2273

  • ICloud got deleted off my MacBook Pro. Is there any way to get it back? I have an iphone now and actually have a use for it.

    iCloud got deleted off my MacBook Pro. Is there any way to get it back? I have an iphone now and actually have a use for it.

    Your signature says you have 10.6.8 - is this correct? (It it isn't please amend it to prevent confusion).
    Assuming Snow Leopard, iCloud has not been deleted - it was never there. The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.2 (Mountain Lion preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
    You can set Snow Leopard up to access the email on an existing iCloud account which has been set up on a compliant device, and you may be able to sync iCal using an unsupported (and possibly unreliable) hack, but no other facilities will work. You cannot open an iCloud account on Snow Leopard.
    This page outlines the limited use you can make of an existing iCloud account with Snow Leopard:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
    To make full use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mountain Lion, provided it meets the requirements.
    The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
    The requirements for Mountain Lion are listed here:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications). (If you are currently pre-Snow Leopard you will have to upgrade to that to access the Mac App Store: it's available in the online Apple Store.)
    You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

    Have just installed Mavericks and restarted the MacBook Pro. That was 3 hours ago and after logging in, I got my wallpaper and dock, but none of my desktop icons, just the spinning coloured wheel. It's been like that for 2 hours. Is this normal? What should I do, please?
    I tried holding the on/off switch down to make it shut down, but when I turned it back on again, the same thing happened and none of the keys etc makes any difference.
    HELP!!!! Please.

    No, what you're experiencing is not normal.
    Try booting whilst holding down the Shift key - this will allow you to boot into Safe Mode, disabling third-party kernel extensions, etc. Your Mac will be slow to boot and will operate sluggishly. That's normal. If you can get in using Safe Mode then you have some start-up item that doesn't play well with Mavericks.
    Call back,

  • Warning: Action and Event are not compatible for LinktoAction type

    Hi,
       I get a warning message "Action and event are not compatible" for the action associated with the type LinkToAction. The Action method "ShowDetails" has the parameters wdEvent (default) and IWDNodeElement.
       Can anybody please suggest what causes this warning?
    Regards
    Sagar

    Sagar,
    Unfortunately, it is impossible to remove this warning completely. However, you may safely ignore it.
    What you can do is copy text of warning (or part of text), then click "Filter" icon on Tasks view in IDE and set filter to hide these warnings. I do this for annoying "UI element has no lable text"

    How can I buy apple watch  for the space black stainless steel case and the black sport band for one order?

    Unfortunately no. I asked the same question when I went to the local Apple Store for my "try on" and as of now you would have to order the watch with the metal link band and the black sports band separately.

  • Have an Epson workforce 600 worked fine until new router and Lion installed.  Now when I try and scan with the all in one I get a "POWER PC APPLICATIONS ARE NO LONGER SUPPORTED"  and my IMAC does not recognize that the Epson is a multi function printer.

    Installed a new router.  Installed Lion. Have an Epson Workforce 600 multi function printer.  Two problems. 
    1. I cannot get Lion to recognize that the Epson is a multi function printer.  There is no scan option on the "print/Scan" popup window.
    2. When I try and use the epson scan utility I get:  POWER PC APPLICATIONS ARE NOT LONGER SUPPORTED.
    I have tried EPSON support with no real luck as they say it is Apple upgrades that are the problem.
    Apple support was quite rude..said it was not their problem and that I should call epson.  Told the I did but it made no difference just got the same reply.
    Have no idea what to do.....seems I cannot find out which multi-function printers Lion supports.

    Epson Workforce 600 multi function printer
    Not to give you another run around, but you need new printer drivers from Epson for your printer so it works in Lion.
    Now it could be that they are working on it, or that they could have decided not to provide new drivers in order for you to force upgrade.
    The only thing a user can do is decide very carefully BEFORE upgrading to a newer Apple operating system, make sure that all their current hardware and software works and make a decision for themselves.
    Since you upgraded to Lion, you can go back to Snow Leopard and your PPC software will work.
    Do you need instructions?

It started today, and I have had the computer for almost a year.  It is below the power switch and annoying enough that it is hard to even work with the computer.  It sounds as if a hard drive is trying to work.

  • Get ready Verizon , I am telling everyone in my GOVT field to leave you for bad customer service on taking away unlimited or making a fair plan for todays world

    I am leaving Verizon for this.
    Verizon lets me know exactly how they feel about there customers by saying ohh if you buy the phone you can keep your plan, why?
    And what dumb idiot at Verizon decided 2 GIG was acceptable , we live in 2012 , HD NETFLIX , Audio , E-BOOKS, facetalk , etc all this is usually HD quality = megs  per second.  Sorry verizon you lose I am spreading the word to all my friends co-workers in the GOVT sector up for renewal to leave you until you at least make a plan  equal to 2 GIGABYTES being 100 to 200 GIGABYTES
    1 Hour of streaming music in HD quality from you tube and you will have already used a few hundred MEGS, add a nextflix HD movie and boom you are over a GIG
    Don't even argue with me either I hold 14 certs in the I.T field along with CISCO so I know what data rates are

    Are you going to complain about the SAME thing in 100 thread. Go tell your government friends. That won't do anything. If you're leaving what does it matter to you what Verizon does? Oh by the way and tell me where you are going to get 200 GB a month for $30?

  • Uploeaded the latest FF version and very happy with it. When I restart my comp because of other problems..... games and video get slow again. This is the 3rd time and I have to wait for a new update to fix it. What di I do?

    Hi, I have a Mac running 10.4.11. I recently updated my FF and noticed my games ran faster and videos worked better. I had some problems accessing the net today and had to restart my computer. Suddenly my games all went into super slow mode. This is the third time this has happened. It appears that my restart (my computer) does something to override whatever has made my computer faster and better. What can I do, except wait for the next update? I have tried reinstalling it, but no, it doesn't work.

    Well now FF just closes on many applications. Is there a Mac & FF compatibility problem?

    Have you updated iTunes to 11.1.5, because the previous version did appear to have an issue about seeing iPods?
    With iTunes 11.1.5 installed, look in Edit/Preferences/Devices, (or use the ALT key, followed by the E key and then the F key) and make sure that the box named Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically does not have a tick in the box.
    Once you have doen those two things, check to see if the iPod is seen by iTunes.

    OS stands for Operating System. (In computer speak, IO means Input/Output.)
    iOS originally stood for iPhone Operating System, but it now refers to the iPod Touch and iPhone. The iPod Classic, which you have listed in your profile as your iPod, does not use iOS.
    I assume that you have been listening to the Podcast in your iTunes on the computer as you cannot transfer it to your iPod. It's what I'd do.

  • I am leaving firefox for Mac Version 1602 as it freezes and crashes all the time, for Google Chrome which does not. I do this with regret

    I give up. I was ok with version 16.0 and firefox 16.02 was automatically downloaded to y Mac Book Pro Version 10.8.2 Mountain Lion. I would like to go back to Firefox 15.0. How can I do this? If this cannot be done, I will uninstall Firefox 16.02 and only use the Chrome and Safari Browsers. I have been using Firefox for more than 10 years and I leave Firefox with great regret. You simply cannot compete with Google Chrome.
