Is this a good idea for house keeping? (re: render files)

I have half a dozen or so projects that I am all finished with, and want to make some disc space.
I am thinking a good way to make some is to delete all render files for a project, then open i and just re-render all so only actual files used in the timeline take up space.
Is there any reason why this isn't a good idea?
cheers

Not that I can think of.

    ashish35,
    No one from Apple here - we're just users like you. All I can tell you is that electronic fail and with MacBook Pros (and most notebooks) the components are so integrated as to make a repair to the logic board practically impossible, hence the high prices charged for repairs.
    Only you can decide if you want to have your computer repaired or put the money towards the purchase of a new computer. If you do decide to purchase a new unit I would suggest that you also purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan which increases your warranty from one year to three years.
    Sorry and good luck,

  • Where can I find one of those silicone body covers (not hardshell) for the Mac Book Pro? And is this a good idea?

    Where can I find one of those soft silicone body covers (not hardshell) for the Mac Book Pro? And is this a good idea since Apple no longer makes them? I-phones use them now.

    Personally I use the Speck hard case on both of my MacBooks and they are the greates! Look around on Amazon and eBay and you can find them for $30-40. I wouldn't really recomend a silicon case for a macbook, but it's your preference.

  • Please make this a good experiance for my first post on any board.  READ ME

    Hi all. Well first off, let me start by saying that my whole life I've owned PC's. And I'm not hacker Elliet. But I've gotten to know them pretty well. All the way from Windows 3.1 that came out a long time ago (more than 10 years ago)
    So after a while of hearing about MAC's I decided to start small and get an iPod (since they are so popular here in NYC) and see what apple was about. Well I really saw that Apple had a great product and started asking about their computers. And did plenty of research. And before the new Intel Macs came out, I was going to get a powerbook. But I had a feeling a new laptop was coming out and waited a lil while and sure enough. The Macbook Pro came out. So I went out and did all my research (as to this being the first real purchase of a Apple product and knew about the possible implications of a new first gen Intel chip in a apple product litterally making history) I knew I might become a new beta tester.
    So I started looking on these boards and did 2 weeks worth of hard research to see if the Mac Book Pro (MBP) was for me. And after all the problems i saw (ex: The whine, Right speaker distortion, heat coming from it, white line at bottom of screen, etc) I never saw or read anything about AOL connectivity problems. And I know, I know... alot of you are probably going to gripe and complain about AOL sucking and yada yada yada, but please. Cut me some slack. I actually like AOL. I got on it back in 92 when it came out, and really enjoyed it. And have been on it since. I like chatting on there, and so forth. And I hope you help with my problem instead of telling me to go get "a real ISP" I do have a real ISP, but I like my AOL too.
    So now to my problem....
    I have a Sony Viao 1.8ghz PC with 512 ram, 80 gig hard drive, 10/100 ethernet port. Connected to a Belkin Router (more info below on specs of router) connected to Opt Online Broadband Cable internet with VoIP. I use my macbook pro on the wireless network at my home.
    I got a mac book pro 1.83 ghz running 512 ram on Tiger OSX 10.4.6 I thought that I would wait till a connectivity patch (which I thought would have been 10.4.6) fix the airport problems came out till I posted something. But now that I've tried everything, I'm hoping you open this thread and help me and possibly someone else out there as well. I just d/l'd and installed the 10.4.6 update last night and it did'nt help. So here's more info on my specs. I have a belkin router wireless G 2.4 ghz 54mbs router and I have configured the router with it's firewall, wap2 encryption (as it's the only selection the router has that is available that matches what airport comes with in encryption) I hid my network, and have tried to upgrade the firmware on the router.
    Now Here's the real problem. I can connect to AOL on my MBP when I connect the actual ethernet cable to the MBP's Ethernet port (after I have let the cable modem do a hard reset to configure itself to a mac) I can connect to AOL. But when I disconnect the cable and return it to it's normal config, I can't connect to AOL. I can connect to the internet via safari, and firefox, and even AOL's IM on iChat. I can use Itunes all kinds of things. I can even play warcraft 3 wirelessly on battlenet. But connecting to AOL is a pain in the @$$. It's the only proggy I have that won't allow it to connect. I keep getting the error message "Your AOL connection ended because the AOL host was unable to start a new session. Please try to sign on again." Of course All i see for a while is the spinning black and white circle. And it goes through step 1 and 2, goes straight to 6. Then it goes blank, and BAM! That message pops up. And what's so frustrating is that I've tried every possible configuration on AOL, my router and even system preferences, for it to let connect. I even went into system preferences on the mac and went down the the Internet & Network "Sharing" icon and tried 100 possible combinations on that in the services tab, and firewall tab. I've turned them on, off, tried to make exceptions ETC. And no matter how much I play with the personal file sharing and windows sharing advanced settings and sigh every possible combination to make AOL connect via wirelessly. And nothing. I then even tried to fix the connection under AOL in setup. I've gone through and selected TCP Script, Airport Script. Cable Script, And practically every script I can think of. And nothing. I even went on to AOL and downloaded thier alleged fix to wireless accessing AOL. And nothing. I've been searching all over google, AOL's website, and all over these discussion boards and no mention of anyone even having the same problem. But please, someone out there with their infinit knowledge of how Macs run and having more experience than me, Please make this a good experiance for my first post on any board anywhere reguarding a mac. A MBP at that too.
    An update to this, But amazingly enough, I actually got it to connect to AOL wirelessly for the first time yest. But I have no Idea how i did it. I tried for 3 hours to reproduce it and no luck. I was accessing my router at it's website config screen and somehow I clicked on connect to AOL and while it was trying to connect to it, i reset the router and BAM, it connected to AOL. And I was in shock. I thought I solved it. Somewhere while it was reseting the router it connected and stayed connected to AOL till I signed off and tried to sign back on to see if I could now connect, and guess what. The same dumb message keeps popping up "Your AOL connection ended because the AOL host was unable to start a new session. Please try to sign on again." And all I did was sign off to test it, thinking I had fixed the problem. I tried for 3 hours like I stated above, and BAM got it connected to AOL wirelessly again (somehow while the router was resetting). And thinking I fixed it, or figured out the trick to getting it to work, signed off... I kissed aol goodbye again. And have been unable to reproduce the "glitch". SIGH Can someone out there please help me?
    I think I've made this message as detailed as possible, but please, can someone give me some constructive criticism on how to fix my AOL wireless connectivity problems. Do you know if it's my router? My MBP? AOL software? BTW, I got AOL software version 10.3.7 (Rev 4136.310 US) The latest version I D/L'ed from the AOL website. Anyone know If I should turn on or off some things such as personal fire sharing on, or firewall off or on? ANYTHING. Please. I've put alot of time into writing this post and making it as detailed as possible. And been having this problem for the past 3 weeks that I've had my MBP, and have waited long enough to use my AOL. If you need any further information or suggestions on making AOL work, please let me know. Thank you for taking the time to read all of this, and I really appreciate all of you in the time you take in responding back in trying to help me. I'll be monitoring this post almost hourly. So I hope someone out there can help. Thanks so much again. And help me make this transition to Mac a pleasant one knowing that there is a mac community out there willing to help a new mac client. Again, Many thanks

    I FIXED IT!
    FYI for the rest of you that might be having the same problem. DON'T USE A BELKIN ROUTER WITH AOL ON A MBP!!!!! It ***** wirelessly. or even hard connected, it won't connect. I went to best buy today, and got a refund on the belkin. I then went to J&R and got a D-Link router. And now it works perfect. I can now chat on AOL yet again, and I tried all the other web browsers I have and messengers, and warcraft 3 online via battlenet. And it works great. I want to give you guys a special thanks for taking time out to answer back to my post. FYI! Belkin wireless G routers do not connect you to AOL wirelessly on MBP's. No matter how much you mess around on them. I highly recommend a D-Link Router. They are easy to set up as long as you READ ( AND I MEAN IT!!!) read the instructions before you set anything up on it. Use the CD that it comes with, and you'll be good to go. Set it up and it works great Almost no dead zones in the house, and now I can use the MBP with all it's cababilities. Thanks people. I really appreciate it.
    P.S. I called belkin last night when i decided to get a refund on my router for today and when i talked to the tech, after puersuading him to tell me the truth. And stop BS'ing me, he broke down and admited that AOL does not work wirelessly on MBP's. So to make a long story short this time, There you go. And one last note, I'm very happy now with my d-link router. I honestly thought it would suck. Not being a brand name router or anything. But amazingly, it works like a brand name item! Again, many thanks all.

  • Is a time capsule a good idea for a college student living in a dorm?

    Is a time capsule a good idea for a college student living in a dorm?

    Before you buy......you need to check with the school to see if they allow wireless routers in the dorms, or on campus at all.
    Most schools prohibt the use of wireless routers due to interference issues.
    Even if the school might allow this, there is no way to know in advance how well this might work....and frankly this type of setup is difficult, even if you have a friend who "knows computers".
    If it were me, I would purchase a hard drive for backups....just like you do now.... and send an email once or twice a week to the student to remind them to "backup".

  • Reccomend a good IDE for Win95

    I desparately need a good IDE for my old Win95 laptop. I've been trying to do a lot of Java development on this pentium II IBM thinkpad 600 and getting nowhere. Right now I have JBuilder4 foundation installed on it and it's horrible. The code insight doesn't always work. The garbage collector brings all development (typing included) to a halt. Maybe someone can show me how to either fine tune JBuilder4 foundation for Win95 development or reccomend a good free IDE that I could use to replace it. I use Eclipse at work and that's the best but it's too fat for Win95. I just tried to install eclipse on my poor laptop and it won't even get past the splash screen. Help!
    Cliff

    Check out my freeware IDE Gel at http://www.gexperts.com . It is natively compiled for Windows so it is light and fast. It includes most common features such as code assistants (code completion, parameter hints, javadoc identifier, etc) for Java and Jsp, smart project management, integrated source control, etc. You can see screenshots at http://www.gexperts.com/features.html

  • Good IDE for JSP/Servlets Development

    Guys, I was looking for a good IDE for JSP/Sevlets development. I for myself wouldn't need or atleast wouldn't want to have one, but for our production they say they need one. So please can u guys advise one. I have downloaded and tried JDeveloper but it just hangs, dont know but looks like its too memory intensive. Any suggestions??? Thanks in advance

    IBM's Websphere Studio Application Developer (WSAD) is a good one. It can also connect to any CVS servers, which allows you to control the versions. Hope this may help you...

  • I want to use a fantom diamond as an external hard drive for my mac, is this a good idea?

    Using a Macbook pro, with Snow Leopard (I think), and my memory is full so I want to store my stuff on an external hard drive. I found a 2T Fantom Diamond EHD, but I'm now learning that I have to convert to NTFS-3g. I'm not computer savy so I want to know if this is a good idea, or should I look for something different. Also, can I set up the EHD as the default path for itunes?

    This is not the forum for MacBook Pro owners.
    You just need to reformat the drive in Disk Utility and erase the drive and have  Mac HFS.
    If you did need to use NTFS then you would not want -3G but Paragon NTFS for OS X x. 10.0
    Or buy something that isn't pre-formatted to Windows NT file system.
    First though make sure you have backups of your system. TimeMachine being used now?
    http://macperformanceguide.com/Mac-TimeMachine-drive.html
    http://www.apple.com/support/timemachine/
    Maybe cleanout some files you don't need.
    Install a larger notebook hard drive even.
    http://www.macsales.com/firewire has a lot of choice in Mac compatible drives and enclosures so you don't need to worry about Fantom not working at some point.

  • Good ide for gui's

    i am looking for a good easy to use ide for creating gui's. I am having a look at forte at the moment but it seems quite difficult to use. whats jbuilder like? any other good one's???

    the whole point about this post is to find a goodide
    so i dont have to build the gui from
    scratch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I don't think GUI builders are useful unless you know
    and understand how layout managers work, otherwise you
    cannot make manual adjustments.I agree with that. Its not just as simple as drag-and-drop, as java isn't like VB, and you are constrained in certain ways by the language when it comes to graphics.
    You will not be able to get your head around GridBagLayout (the only choice for any GUI More complex than a couple buttons) in the IDE if you don't know what it does to the code.

  • Video player, Is this a good project for Flex.

    I am creating a video player similar to BrightCove player (
    http://www.brightcove.com)
    and also allows viewers to dynamically change the skin with CSS
    files (text file) at runtime. Is Flex a good choice for this
    project?
    Thanks

    Sure, why not. I don't know all of what BrightCove can do,
    but Flash handles video very well.

  • Is this a good desing for PINGROUPS?

    Hi there guys.
    The plan is migrate the uplinks from a fews 6500 to a couple Nexus 7000 using pingroups with no trafic disruption. So i have made a desing but i not sure if this is the best way to accomplish the objective without problems.
    This is the desing:
    There will be two (new) PINGROUPS (All the server use two VNICs) that will be facing to the nexus using the PO 108 and PO 109, is this a good configuration? the nexus are using VPC towards the fabric; the fabric are in EHM.
    We made a couple of test moving the vnic into the pingroup and it work fine, but i want to know is this configuration is good.
    The PINGROUPS see like this:

    This works ok; however, best practise in UCS design is using dynamic pinning, and not static pinning (what you are doing). In your case, dynamic or static pinning will have the same result; however, the managment overhead for static pinning is bigger; for every interface, you have to add the pingroup, and if you forget, it will fall back to dynamic pinning.

  • Looking at using apple TV to assist with photo editing on my MB Pro, is this a good idea?

    I have a mac book pro 13 (2011) I am looking at using the Apple TV to display my MBP to my TV for photo editing, anyone able to let me know if they either have done this before, good or bad, or if you think it would work if you have not tried it yourself. Will also be using it for TV etc not just editing.
    Thank you in advance.
    Currently have Lightroom 5 and PS CC for editing etc.

    So you plan to mirror the MBP's display via the Apple TV to your TV and edit off that image?
    Right off the bat I can see problems with color calibration between the MBP's display and the TV.  I edit in Aperture and while the images when displayed on my TV vi Apple TV look ok they are not exactly the same as they appear on the iMac.
    So I guess it depends on what you plan to do with the images once you have edited them. Is there any printing involved? That brings in another whole layer of complexity.
    For sharing on the web and with family and friends it should be Ok, for anything more professional you'll need to get everything calibrated.

  • Any good IDE for J2ME/MIDI programming ?

    Hi
    I am new to the J2ME world. I have to develope a GUI based application on iPAQ4350. But I am not given any ramp up time with awt programming. So I am wondering whether there is any good IDE ( like VB Editor ) with all standard widget ( like button, textfield etc) which I choose and create my GUI.
    Someone please post.

    You can try Sun One Studio Mobile Edition, but even this does not provide you with visual development of GUI like buttons, drag and drop.....This is J2me World honey, learn to be small....

  • Is this PowerBook Good enough for making music?

    Is this powerbook : PowerBook G4 17Inch
    17-inch TFT widescreen display with 1680x1050 resolution
    1.67GHz PowerPC G4 processor
    2GB memory (DDR2)

    ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 graphics card with 128MB DDR memory
    The Latest or the last model of Powerbooks
    Is it good enough for making music or editing few video clips?
    Will Snow Leopard run on it?
    Can i upgrade more ram in it ?

    Yes, that Powerbook can be used to make music or edit video clips. When it was new, it was required at the North Carolina School of the Arts for their Film program, using Final Cut software. Having a more powerful Intel CPU would speed up the rendering and processing times, however, the 1.67Ghz Powerbook can certainly handle video editing.
    I know people that have used Garageband on it to make music.
    The last operating system you can run on it is OS X 10.5 Leopard, with the last release being 10.5.8.
    It's RAM is maxed out at 2GB. 
    As long as you don't need newer software that requires an Intel processor and aren't going to rely on that as your system to access streaming video's on the internet, it should work for you.
