Is Quicktime Pro worth the money?

Like my subject says, I am considering purchasing the serial to upgrade to Quicktime Pro 7 and just wondering if it is actually worth the money or if the normal Quicktime is good enough?
thanks

The Pro upgrade allows you to create content (start to finish) using QuickTime.
Things like image sequence imports (think claymation), adding images and audio to video, converting file formats (iPod come to mind) and dozens of other uses.
Nearly all of my "movies" are made using QuickTIme Pro and I've been a user (and buyer since version 3 was the first time they charged extra for it) for many years.
Take a few minutes trying some of my video links:

to learn the power and versatility found in the Pro upgrade.

Is a Macbook Pro worth the money?

Hi, I am going to get a MBP by the end of this year and I want 1 TB but I see for the retina display models there is no option... I have an iMac and would be interested in a Macbook Pro

Correct, the retina display models do not have a HD they have flash storage. Read the specifications http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs-retina/
As to whether or not the Macbook pro is worth the money, I guess only you can decide. I like mine.

Is Macbook Pro 15-inch worth the money?

Is the entry level Macbook Pro 15 inch with specs at the time of this writing worth the money ? I am a student who does the usual school stuff, web surfing, and quite heavy gaming(Like FIFA).I am considering to purchase a Macbook as I was enticed by its design and Mac OS Lion's smooth,fun and enjoyable user interface. Having taken a number of trips to Apple Stores, I actually want to buy the 15" Pro(13" can't run FIFA and 17" is too heavy)) However, one can never know if I he or she does not actually try it out. So, I want to ask all users who use Macbook Pro 15, are Mac OS X and design things that are worth extra money for?

They are to me. Whether they are or not to you, no one but you can say.
Honestly, the question you have asked is impossible for anyone to answer. For those responding who own a MBP, especially people like myslef who have been buying and using Apple laptops since before the iBook, the answer will be yes, they are worth it to us (why else would we keep buying Apple laptops?).
It's purely a personal decision as only you can decide what is "worth it" to you.
I primarily buy Apple hardware because I prefer the OS X operating system over the alternatives (Windows or Linux, while OS X gives me the perfect blend of CLI UNIX and a GUI), and I have been very satisfied with their hardware as well.

Is the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS worth the money for Final Cut Express?

Hi,
I'm considering a new iMac 24, but not sure if the speedier on is worth the money.
Currently I use a MacBook Pro 2.2 for Final Cut Express with a 23" cinema (mostly DV, some HD) and that works okay, but won't play back in real time when I composit video.
Anybody know if the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS will help in that area?
Thanks,
KC

The speedier video card is great for 3D stuff, but it won't matter a wink for Final Cut Express, which barely makes use of the video card.
Keep in mind that Final Cut is using the CPU, not video card, to perform the editing, decoding, and encoding of the video. The only time the video card comes into play is during playback of the video, and any of the video options available for iMacs will handle that just fine.
When you composite video, the hard-disk throughput will start to come into play. The dinky 5400 RPM disk in your laptop will adversely affect the performance of that.

IPad or Mac? which is better worth the money?

iPad or Mac? which one is better worth the money, if mac, which is the cheapest but still gives you all the good apps and qualities? I would use it alot, and i already have an iouch so would the ipad be worth it? im a teenager so i would use these things alot,and i need some features to help with school and just having fun!!

iPad is not a substitute for a Mac. It's more like a companion to a Mac.
In desktops, Mac mini should be sufficient and is the only comparable Mac in terms of price, but you need to add a monitor, keyboard.
In laptops, consider the MacBook Air for its portability, and the MacBook Pro for more options in terms of processing and screen size.
Visit an Apple Store (the physical kind). The staff is very helpful and will assist ou in making a decision.

I've tried the new iWork and feel cheated. I'm gonna stick with my old '09 version. It appears to have lost utility, and is now easily surpassed by Word 07. Is a new version that's worth the money and hype coming?

I've tried the new iWork (on a friend's new MacBook Pro) and feel very disappointed. I'm gonna stick with my old '09 version. It appears to have lost utility, and is now easily surpassed by Word 07. Dear Apple, from a veteran user: In your rush to market, you have dropped the basket on this one! Is a new version that's worth the money and hype coming?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
A lot of users have complained about the lack of features of the new iWork version. However, I'm sure Apple will add features with more updates in the future, like with Final Cut Pro X. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6049?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Until then, you can carry on using iWork '09, or try Microsoft Office 2011 or even LibreOffice, which is free and open-source

Im looking for a MacBook that is worth the money and decent for gaming and editing, any suggestions?

There all so AWESOME!

Then you are best to get a Macbook Pro. Your real aim should be the graphics card.
You won't be doing really good gaming on a discrete graphics card sharing RAM.
Depending of coarse what games you play.
eg. card games / COD games.

My friend is selling her ipod nano for 80$ Is it worth the money?

My friend is selling her ipod nano for 80$ Is it worth the money? What are the pros and cons? Thanks. No scratches

Hello Chibi_usa,
What kind of ipod nano is it and how many GB? Do a search in google or yahoo or ask and see what others are selling for. Do a comparison analysis. You can find your own pros and cons after doing this.
Things that I look for:
1. The model I want
2. If it works
3. If it has warranty
If that iPod fits that criteria, then it may be worth it.
Hope this helps.

Management Information Technology: a framework for the management of information technology. Management issues may include: the strategic use of information technology; information technology architectures; information systems planning; information technology investments; and security and privacy and outsourcing.
Supply Chain and Logistics Management: the concept of supply chain management in the context of movement and storage of components and goods in the spheres of material management, physical distribution and transport and its practical business application.
Organisation Change Management: organisational design; organisational changes processes and organisational development and change; and skills and competencies in the diagnostic processes for assessing the need for change and the development, implementation and evaluation of change strategies at all organisational levels.
Enterprise E-Commerce: the integration of Enterprise Resource Planning Systems with E-Commerce and the issues involved.

These same organisations are now attempting to extend their supply chain via E-Commerce business solutions.
Enterprise Resource Planning Systems Implementation: the basic methodologies, techniques and tools that are used in the implementation of Enterprise Resource Planning Systems using SAP R/3 as an example. Many large organisations are making decisions to implemented Enterprise Resource Planning Systems but the implementation is complex and requires specific project management skills and knowledge.
Strategic Use of Enterprise Resource Planning Systems: the strategic features of ERP systems and how these features can be utilised within an implementation. Many large organisations have implemented Enterprise Resource Planning Systems to integrate their business processes and are now attempting to gain further benefits by utilising the strategic features of these systems such as supply chain optimisation, customer relationship management, and data warehousing.

I did my masters in just computer sciences, but if I had something like this available I would have gone for it. But there are a couple of factors to consider. One is will there be good campus recruitments and what is the rate absorption of candidates for this course. Second question, do I really want to persue this field as my career. ERP is the concept that revolves around the business. So you should have an aptitude for learning how a business operates and functions.
The course curriculum looks good particularly because it includes topics on Supply Chain Management and Business Process Engineering which are relatively new.
Another good aspect of it is that it is giving this course with SAP as an example tool. SAP is the leading ERP software company(and many more products are added to its portifolio now).
Is it worth the money? That you have to decide. You can do a regular masters in computer science, but get a job in a company that trains you in SAP, and learn everything on the job or take some traning from SAP training academies and then start on job. That is one option. But if you want to persue a career in building products in the ERP/SCM areas, then a formal education in that area will be useful. But if you are just interested in implementing existing products then it is not a must.
Hope I gave you some information that is useful. Please don't forget to reward appropriately for helpful answers and close when completely answered.

Is the Mac Book Pro worth the purchase?

Hey there,
I have a G4 Titanium laptop, and the LCD is starting to fritz. I'm going to get it repaired, but I'm also considering just chucking it and buying a new machine. What do you recommend?
Is the Mac Book Pro worth the purchase?
I just went and looked at the 15" mac book pro at CompUsa, and the machine was so hot around the trackpad area I was shocked. That was a bit of a turnoff for me.
Should I just get the smaller Mac Book? (altho, I hate the shiny screen.)
Is it best to just wait until January and hope for some better machines??
Help!!!
Thanks!

I agree with Brody. Rumor sites have been proven wrong, very wrong in teh past, often. What hapepned to that ipod video that was supsoed ot be otu on teh 30th aniversary, abd before that at soemthign else, then at wwdc? OH yea, it didnt show up, at all
Also as for his 'price comparison' thing it is the same with all machines. The Pro has better video (much better.. though could be better), a better display amonth other small features. It is roughly 800$ more. Now, compare a dell nspiron E1705 - code du0 2.0ghz, 100gb, 1gb, integrated intel graphic chipset, 17" priced at $1499 to a XPS M1710 - codeduo 2,.0ghz, 1gb, 100gb, 17uxga+ display and 512 7900gtx at $2915. Non-integrated graphics, and a good chipset though the 7900gtx does destroy the punny junky x1600 (so take off say 400$ to be more fair) the price diffrence is roughly the same when teh better display si thrown in as to apples 12 vs 15 with higher res and better viewing angle. A decent video chipset for laptops are way more then a regular video card when changing it, displays also don't come cheap.
If you need the power of the mbp for say motion or more professional use on the road (try using a 12 for professional graphic dev or other fields it is more then annoying... i used a ibook prior ot my pb and couldnt do it, i returned it wiht in 2 weeks), powering a better diaplay and whatbe it else i'd suggest getting one. if you do not need it and can live with teh 12" get the macbook.
In the end it is yoru choice, but as we've said don't go by rumors of if or when better cpu will come out as technology advances rapidly unfortunatly, espcilly when there is no officialo word as to if they will go to it.
best of luck on yoru choice!

If QuickTime Player 7 isn't in the Utilities folder automatically, you can install it separately. See:

MOVED: HDTV Tuner Cards? Is there one that it is worth the money?

This topic has been moved to Anything Under The Sun.
HDTV Tuner Cards? Is there one that it is worth the money?

All Adobe Trial versions are full versions that allows you do everything with it including you also get updates for it. The only limitation is TIME. you only get 30 days to do whatever you want to do so if you are a photographer then you will need to buy the full version if you want to continue doing what you like doing most. Amazon has the best price/deal I have seen so far.
Good luck.

Is Apple TV worth the Money?

Is Apple TV worth the Money?

That depends entirely on what you want to use it for.
What do you think it does, and what do you want it to do?
I'd say categorically yes - because we use it a lot - someone else might be disappointed if it doesn't provide the features they expect.

Is an external battery worth the money?

I'm looking at about a 20 hour flight to New Zealand. Is an external battery worth the money and does anyone know which one would be the best?

Honestly, from my understanding most international flights have plug in underneath the seats. You may consider asking the airline if this is an available amenity on your flight. It may save you the cost of an additional accessory.
