A Mac is a very expensive for someone your age, not only that you will have to learn Windows to educate yourself and get a job as nearly everyone used Windows at work.
Installing Windows on a Mac is no easy process and it costs money as you have to buy a Windows license, then Apple upgrades the Mac operating system annually which you will have to replace and all your software with newer versions.
Ideally unless your rich, you should get a regular Windows 7 laptop for about $400 or so, because there are some things about computers and how to handle them that having a $3000 Mac is going to be a costly lesson if it's lost, broken or stolen.
Also Mac's last about 3-5 years, so locking all your files into a Mac only will cost you another $2000-$3000 the next time around, instead of a mere $400 with a Windows machine.
Most Mac users also have to run Windows to remain current or work with others, only a small portion of us use OS X exclusively.
If you want to 3D game, a Windows 7 tower is your machine, as you can replace the video card for newer, faster ones as newer/better games come out.
See the chart here, Mac's get blown away when it comes to 3D gaming, also there are more software choices on Windows.

Why do you need a expensive MacBook Pro?
Your attending high school and unless everyone else is rich also your likely going to be a target by the more poorer students for theft or damage to the machine.
You could keep it home, but if you need it for class then your exposed again.
Also at that age your not very careful yet, a MacBook Pro is a expensive and easily damaged machine.
Unless your made of money and so are others at your school, I would recommned a low profile, just does the job cheap Windows PC.
If it dies, gets lost, stolen or damaged because of your inexperince handling senstivie electronics then it's no big deal.
You can buy a Mac later on when your sure you have a need for it, currently there isn't much advantage of owning a Mac compared to a PC, they do just about the same things now, one just looks prettier than the other.
Since 95% of the world uses Windows PC's your going to have to install Windows on the Mac in order to keep your skills up there or be unemployed, so it's a extra headache and expense.
good luck

Want to know largest Single Monitor I can attach to my 17'' macbook pro

Hello,
I have a Macbook Pro, 17'' with 2 GB Ram and 2.16 ghz dual core processor. I day trade the currency market and want to add the single largest monitor I can to my mac. If there is a possibility of running some type of splitter and have two monitors, that would be ideal. I have a laptop stand with some fans built in to help keep things cool as well. If I can't get larger than a 20" screen, I may have to get an entirely new computer and really don't want to.
Thank you,
Jason

I just want to know why I cant directly download music to music app in iphone specially for people outside US whose cant use itune store ??!

I just want to know why I cant directly download music to music app in iphone specially for people outside US whose cant use itunes store ??!
I can do it in my mac why not iphone . This is a really huge mistake compare to android phones

Hi Ferretbite
Thank you for answering me but i dont think you relize what Iam asking for
first itunes store need an American apple ID with an American credit to purchase DIRECTLY from iphone and this all people outside US dont have , so no one outside US and (major countries) can download music directly from thier Iphone
Second , if we assume I can download from itunes , itunes store dont have all the music you need for example Iam in middle east I listen to arabic music and itunes dont have most of the arabic music I listen to and this is a HUGE problem for all costumers in middle east and similiar countries .
Third, mac users can download music from the internet other than itunes store even if it illegal why that ?? and NOT all free websites are illegal like (nogomistars) for arabic music .
I just want to say that I love my iphone and I love apple. But you should give iphone users a free using for their phones like you do with mac users for the reason that i gave it you above .
Sorry for the long reply tc

HT201412 My Ipad quit working - it's 2 years old. I called Apple and they basically told me that it's done. I can pay 249.00 to get a reburbished Ipad 1, or buy a new one. I want to know why it died? They mentione it could be the hard drive.

My Ipad 1 quit working after 2 years. Was never dropped, abused, etc. Just quit the other night. Went to the Apple store, called the support line and they tell me that since the warranty is up I can pay 249.00 for a refurbished Ipad or buy a new one. Not happy at all. I want to know why it quit. The person I talked to at Support says he doesn't know what happened. He says it sounds like my hard drive crashed. ANyone else have this problem? I am so mad.

If the tech you talked to said anything about a "hard drive", he was completely ignorant or misspeaking rather badly. The iPads have no hard drive; the storage is all solid state. You may wish to talk to another technician, or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there's one near you, and confirm the diagnosis of a hardware failure.
If you've confirmed that it is indeed a hardware failure, then you can pay the replacement price, find an independent iPad service shop and see if they can do a repair for less, or buy a new iPad. If it were me I would put the money toward a new, or at least newer, iPad rather than pay the replacement charge. You can get some good deals on refurbished iPad 2 and third-generation iPads from the Apple Store, any of which will run the most current versions of iOS, something which the first-gen iPad will not, and would come with a full warranty (which could be extended to two years with AppleCare).
As to why your iPad failed, it's impossible to say with any certainty. The circuitry could have had a tiny flaw that finally failed, or the iPad could have received a static shock, something quite common in many areas in the winter when the air is dry. Sorry it happend to you, but anything can fail.
Regards.

Hello I wanted to know why am having trouble logging on to craigslist

Hard to say without knowing what you are doing and what happens.

I have an eight GB iPhone 3G, but when on iTunes on my Mac, it says my phone only has 6.9 GB of space total. I just want to know why this is, and if I am able to get a new phone because of malfunction.

You don't have a malfunction. Read this: How Mac OS X and iOS report storage capacity, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2419

i want to know why when i turn on my iPhone the screen turns white

Hello Manjanela,
Article: TS2802 may help you with the white screen.
Display shows a white screen
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
If the iPhone will not turn off, try to reset it.
If that doesn't work, try restoring the device.
Have a nice day,
Mario

Hai.. i want to know, why my debit card have be deducted?

Hai.. i want to know, why payment with my debit card have be deducted?

I'm not entirely sure what you are asking, but if it's a debit card then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts recently about them being declined. Do you have a credit card that you could use instead ?

Where did you purchase this. The US phones do not come with the SIM removal tool anymore. They haven't for some time now. I'm not even sure it comes with any of the devices anymore. You can just straighten out a paper clip and do the same thing.

This is not a technical question, and discussions of Apple's policies are not appropriate here. If you have some sort of problem with your own iTunes Store account, by all means let us know and we may be able to help you, but otherwise this question is not one we can discuss in these forums.

I want to know why display core dump when arch starts!

I want to know why display core dump when arch starts!
2008. 06 iso!
u can see display coredump in starting......

GAH, you silly people!
Now I'm going to have to go off and write a program that selects a random string from a file to show on startup!
(I'll probably fill the file with all the Arch snapshot names)
EDIT: I should mention that you're silly because you managed to get me following a random compulsion.
EDIT AGAIN: Done! I now get a random snapshot name in that spot whenever my system boots. I can post the script if anyone wants it, it's three lines.
EDIT ONE LAST TIME: Oh wait, three lines and a extra file full of snapshot names.

Judging by all the posts on the forum, there seems to be an issue at Apple's end, although they have made no announcement on their status page. Some users have reported that Apple is aware of the issue.

Because Apple has not negotiated an agreement to have that available in Romania. Apple has to negotiate an agreement for each country.
We are just users in the forum, Apple does not respond here, so we do not know why they has not negotiated the agreement.
