Logic 8 on a powerbook Pro duo 2.5

I am considering purchasing the new powerbook pro 2.5 duo for use with logic 8. How many instances of EXS/softsynths are people getting before maxing out? I also want to link the New powerbook Pro with my Powerbook G4 to have distributed processing or having it run the vst instruments while I am on the road .
Will this work well?
Thanks

i just thought you should know that node machines seem only able to be G5 or > higher processors. Thats if you plan to use the Logic Node function to share the load anyway.
Check out the following extract from apple's website...
http://www.apple.com/logicstudio/logicpro/specs.html
"Logic Node requires a Mac computer with a PowerPC G5, Intel Core, or Intel Xeon processor and Gigabit Ethernet"
Hope that helps.
Hi,
I regularly use an iBook G4 800 mHz as an extra processor node. It works great!!!
Cheers

Apple MacBook Pro 15" A1286, but i couldn´t find online to buy it where can i get one and if it´s possible if i can have it delivered to my hotel

There are a lot of MacBook Pros with the model # A1286 - which year is your model (e.g., "15-inch Late 2011")?
The only place that I know that you might could score a specific logic board is www.ifixit.com. They may be able to ship to your hotel.

I recently upgraded to Firefox 13.0.1 and I’m operating a Mac Powerbook Pro with OS of 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).
Now I’m having intermittent problems with sending emails where Firefox freezes up. There is often a yellow warning above suggesting 32-bit mode, sometimes I can click to shift it that way, sometimes not.
Anyone having these problems?
Any suggestions?

Professional Calibration for the Powerbook Pro with LED Monitor

This is what I have discovered: The new LED monitor/screen is a better technology for graphics pros because it's brighter, doesn't need to warm up like CRT and LCD, and it's more efficient. I have also discovered that the current Powerbook Pro with LED is not possible to calibrate with a spyder-type device because the computer itself doesn't allow the user to control overall R G and B levels at all...so as to achieve a prcise initial white point setup. Once RGB levels are balanced, only then can a spyder with it's assoc software continue it's recordings with precision. Other problems exist: Apparently the graphics cards in the Powerbook Pro (I have the newest machine, bought Nov 2008, with LED screen) are not able to permit any software (like Monaco Optix) from adjusting the brightness or color levels. As well, to my knowledge, there are not currently any spyders with software which offers LED as an option initially. I tried setting it to LED and LCD with my LED monitor, just to see the difference....and there was a huge one...so it's futile even to use the spyder if the software hasn't been developed with the LED screens in mind.
*What I did was this: I calibrated my LaCie electronBlueIV 22" professional monitor with the sypder...using Monaco Optix and it's XR spyder. Once that was established, I opened a photoshop sample image which has a blue sky, green pine trees, green/yellow grass, a red boat and some white snowcapped peaks. Made a duplicate of it....and placed one copy on the LaCie and the other on my powerbook's monitor just below (I'm running 2 monitors at the same time). Then I went through the "professional" mode of Apple's calibrator. Unfortunately it's not an exact science as one might think. No, you can't work it back and forth until the colors match because of certain ways in which Apple has made their calibrator function. For example, you only set the degrees kelvin at the end...which totally changes all the color levels you have done up until that point....it's complicated to explain, but if you go through it once, you will understand what I'm talking about. Anyhow, so what I did was go through it all the way.....then right before saving the profile....I would go back again (you can go backwards and forwards and it keeps the adjustments you've made already...luckily) and tweak these various adjustments...all the while...*keeping an eye on my 2 images...trying to nudge my powerbook colors/brightness/contrast as close as possible to my calibrated LaCie. Finally, I used the final adjustment (D50/5500/D65 etc....) to put some more warmth into the powerbook's monitor which seems to be much too cold if you only use the calibrator and have no other monitor for reference. I set mine around 5,200......when normally I would be at 5,500 with any other monitor.
It seems I did get my LED monitor pretty close to the values of my calibrated LaCie....as close as I could visually...considering, to my knowledge, there is no current device/software that will calibrate this LED monitor. We're waiting!!
*Just a friendly note to Apple*
Dear Apple,
For years you are aware that it is the creative professionals (photographers, graphic designers, visual artists, printers, architects, etc...) who have been the loyal backbone of your small market share. We have been the ones investing and reinvesting in Apple computers and peripherals since the beginning...before the ipod and the iphone when all of the other yahoos jumped onboard. Also please understand...we love the new generation of powerbooks but we're tired of having to drag around an extra monitor to insure correct colors for printing/color-matching. I'm a professional photographer who is always traveling internationally...and away from my calibrated monitor in my office. Yet, many times I have to retouch on the go and get the images to my clients..and it's just not possible to work on a calibrated monitor at these moments. Yet my work is precise work and the color values are critical to my clients in the world of fashion and beauty.
Realizing this point.....knowing your core clients are concerned with critical color values....why is it that you continue to create portables with absolutely no precise color controls?!!!!!!!! Would it be so difficult to add a utility which allows the user to digitally control RGB levels, contrast, and brightness (withe their associated numeric levels, (for example: brightness=78.3%.) As well, your own calibration assistant..."professional" mode??? HARDLY. Why not build onto this model with another mode...let's call it "super professional" mode (lol) which allows us to access overall RG&B....as well as brightness and even contrast???
That's what I know at this stage. If anyone has any advice which adds to what I have said, or maybe someone can educate me with a more accurate way to calibrate my monitor....I'm all ears...and I'm sure I'm not alone in this quagmire.
S,
Lawrence

I've had the same concerns about the lack of any monitor controls (unless there's something I'm missing), but afraid I don't have any answers myself yet. Just wanted to ask do you mean "Powerbook Pro" or are you talking about a MacbookPro?

The logic board on my MacBook Pro has failed. How do I retrieve all my data from the hard drive?

Remove the drive and put it in an external enclosure. Backup the drive completely. Repartition and format the drive. Replace the drive into the computer. Take the computer in for the logicboard replacement.

Hello,having a problem with Logic 9 on a Mac Pro.Working on a lenghty song and apparently session got corrupted.Doesnt let me export tracks,program crashes.Already tried start brand new session with the tracks imported into it but still wont export.Suggestions?

Thanks, Ian. Yeah, that's how I do it now...or with the controls in the left side pane. Still, I would have liked that quick on-the-spot edit capability...especially while sketching.

Sorry Mark, you are out of luck as it does not do that - it works the same as L8. The way I would achieve that with more accuracy and control would be to route all the tracks you want to fade to a Bus then use volume automation on the bus. To do this you will need to add a standard audio track, then re-assign it using (Control Click on the track header) to the Bus track. You can then automate volume/plugins etc on the Bus track.

Buffalo Linkstation Pro Duo and Time Machine

I am thinking of buying the Buffalo Linkstation Pro Duo 1Tb as a backup for my work based Macs (2 Power Mac G5's). My main machine has 350Gb and a 150Gb drives, while my second one has a 150Gb drive. None of the drives are anywhere near full. For this reason, I think that I could even get away with backing up to 500Gb RAID (the Buffalo has 2x500Gb). Although as a backup drive, it may not be as important to have RAID.
Anyway.....I read a review about the Buffalo that said that it could only handle 128 characters for filenames including the directory structure. Will this matter with Time Machine?
I am also thinking of the same drive as a RAID for my home network to store photos and maybe as Time Machine backups of user folders. Again will a 128 character limitation be a problem if I simply store photos on the drive and do not use Time Machine?
Thanks,
Charlie

Formatting USB Key (MS Pro Duo with IOGEAR USB adapter) for MAC & Windows

Hi,
How do I setup my MS Pro Duo card and IOGEAR USB Adapter to read the entire capacity on both MAC OSX and Windows?
At this moment, I used it on MAC first and then Windows reads the card but the message 'disk full' appears when transferring files onto the card from PC.

Windows doesn't ask to format.
Windows reads the folder and files uploaded on the MACbook. However, it still says that 'disk is full'.
Is it a formatting issue with FAT32 vs NTFS?

I'm using Logic 9 with a Macbook Pro. On one project I'm getting a message ' not enough processor power.' I've tried freezing all tracks but this seems to have no effect. I've also bounced all soft synths to audio.

I'm using Logic 9 with a Macbook Pro. On one project I'm getting a message 'not enough processor power' and the computer stops playing
I've tried freezing all tracks but this has no effect. I've also bounced all soft synth tracks to audio, but to no avail. The computer stops playing
even at the start of the track where there is nothing but a kick drum happening.......

Thank you for the suggestions.
I had previously tried all of the above but the airport/wireless thought. Unfortuneately, none of these things made a difference, including the wireless suggestion.
Currently, I am using my Mac's "cheapo" internal audio hardware (haha). I have a one year old 27-inch iMac, a good pair of bose speakers, and a polk sub. I don't believe it is an issue with my setup, considering I completely disconnected and unplugged it.
I did, however, do a little info hunting on the internal audio situation, since I was curious what is actually included, and I stumbled upon this interesting little tidbit about my model of iMac:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2718054?start=0&tstart=0
I had previously wondered if I was hearing my mouse in my speakers as well (not just in logic). It appears that this model of iMac may have some grounding issues, as someone later in the thread suggested purchasing and using a ground loop isolator, which seemed to fix any extra interference for them.
Ironically though, I have since opened logic, and do not seem to be encountering my previous static issue(yet).
Fingers crossed, hoping that I will not be experiencing it again. Going to purchase a ground loop isolator, and continue to mess around with logic, just to make sure it was not just an internal audio issue with my iMac.

I have installed Thunderbird in new Powerbook Pro & see the old one do not receive emails anymore. Configuration IMAP. I-phone & i-pad stop receiving

Installing Palm OS on my new Mac Powerbook Pro OS 10.6.4

I can't find the Palm OS on the Palm website. I just got a Powerbook Pro with OS 10.6.4. My old laptop is a Powerbook with OS 10.4 with Palm 4.2.1. My phone is a Palm Pre.
Post relates to: Pre Plus p101vzw (Verizon)

Not quite sure what you're asking for... Are you thinking of "Palm Desktop" perhaps?
The Pre is not designed to work with Palm Desktop, but syncs with "the cloud".
Here's a link to Palm Desktop 4.2.1 for Mac:

Accessing Gmail suddenly stopped working on both my Powerbook pro running latest OS and Mail versions and on my iPhone. I can access via the web. I get the error that my password or username is incorrect. I reset my password in Gmail and confirmed it works on gmail, I then changed it on my Iphone and Mac Mail. It still does not work. I deleted the gamil account on mail on my mac and reinstalled it and it still will not work

I too started having my password rejected in MAIL.app for imap.mail.me.com for my icloud email address. Can login to icloud with web browser fine. This has been happening off and on for several days.....if I wait 2-3 hours it will suddenly start working again, but then problem re-asserts itself ;-)

I want to download pictures from a Sony Memory Stick Pro Duo to my iPad 4. There is no cord for the camera and the USB dongle requires too much power through the camera connector kit. Any good solutions?

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
