That depends on what size SSD you get and how many programs and files you store on the internal drive.
Both PS and FC don't take up that much space but the files you will be editing might take up quit a bit of space. I would get the largest SSD, Flash storage, you can afford. You can never have to much hard drive space.

  • I am going to buy either a Mac Air or Mac Pro Retina 8GB RAM and 256GB. And as I have to still run Windows I will install Parallels 9. As the Mac are both 64bit machines does that mean I need to install Windows 7 64bit ? And office pro 2013 64 bit too?

    I am going to buy either a Mac Air or Mac Pro Retina 8GB RAM and 256GB. And as I have to still run Windows programs I will install Parallels 9. As the Mac are both 64bit machines does that mean I need to install Windows 7 64bit or just install 32 bit? (Going with Win7 as I hate Win8). And I will install Office Pro 2013 64 bit too or 32 bit or is that automatically selected by the underlying OS (I use Word, Excel and Access mainly for a membership database of a local club) ? I am not a power user so would appreciate advice on way to go

    Again thank you.  If I only use word, excel and access in the Win environment and Mac OS for email and safari for internet do I need anti virus software . Ie my connection to the world is mac only and I use office pro only to ruin the club, newsletters, membership database etc. and of course anything I do there can drag/drop to the mac environ to email.  That's my understanding anyway.  Next will my existing .pst file copy directly into mac mail or do I have to runs translator  as I recall reading something about that ages ago when I started thinking Mac

  • I have downloaded a movie with subtitle to iMovie. When playing the video, the subtitle does not show up through the entire video. It happens to my Mac Air and Mac Pro.

    I have downloaded a video with subtitle. When playing the edited video, the subtitle does not show up in the entire video. The subtitle comes and goes in the video.I have tried with my Mac Pro and Mac Air, with the same result. I have downloaded movie with subtitle before and never had this problem. Please advise.

    I'm not very knowledgable on this but subtitles are sometimes on a separate track from the main movie.  Try opening the downloaded video in Quicktime Player and saving it - you may be asked if you want to "flatten movie".  Choose to do this.  The resulting movie will probably now work OK.  Others may be able to supply more comprehensive instructions.

  • What are the differences between Mac Air and Mac Pro?

    What are really the main differences between the Macbook Air and the MacBook Pro?
    I am thinking of getting a laptop by mac. I like the prices of the Air but the Pro seems better performance.
    However my needs are internet, email, word processing and some photos, pictures etc.
    would i still be able to do many good applications on the Air vs the Pro?
    suggestions please?
    thanks

    The base model current 2013 Air will perform faster and better in general than the base model 13" non-Retina Macbook Pro.
    Ive got both of them. 
    On the Air:
    Faster wifi (by far) 802ac
    Faster boot and read/ write due to SSD
    Much longer battery life due to Haswell upgrade made in June
    Crisper sharper screen, better to stare at for long periods
    MUCH FEWER parts to go bad,.....also only one moving part, the Fan
    No HD to crash from mechanical failure
    Packing the AIr around is a dream since is nearly the weight of an Ipad.
    Dont get fooled like most do in seeing the super-skinny AIr as less than a full power machine, ....thats always someones first huge mistake when they see one.
    Here is an excellent video comparison between the 11” I5 vs. I7 2013 Macbook Air.

  • Connect mac air to mac computer

    Hi,
    I want to connect my mac Air to my Mac desktop.  How do I do this.  I am logged on using one icloud name but the two machines have different stuff on them. I want them to sync.
    Thanks

    It would probably be easier to get a wireless router. Your ISP might even provide one. If you want to set up an ad hoc network to share your desktop computer's internet, this may help.

  • Buying my first Mac, Air or Pro with retina?

    I am buying my first Mac. Undecided between new Mac Air or Mac Pro with retina? Any help?

    Well if your computer needs are light weight and how light the computer is important for you then get the MBA
    If on the other hand your needs are more heavy weight and the weight of the computer doesn't matter then get the MBA

  • Can't install drivers for C7280 on Mac Air Hp says drivers at Apple who says no drivers, see HP.

    I can't install the drivers for my printer Photsmart C7280 on my Mac Air running Mac OS X 10.7, Lion. The HP center sends me to Apple Updates which says no drivers available, see HP which repeats the circle.

    Lion should include the driver you need but since its not working lets try this:
    Let's uninstall with the 'scrubber option' like this:
    1. Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller and click Continue
    2. Highlight your device on the left pane
    3. Hold the Ctrl, Opt and Cmd keys and click on Uninstall
    4. There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
    5. Click Continue and let it finish
    Now, run a Software Update. This can be done by clicking the Apple in the top left of the screen then clicking Software Updates.
    Next, let's reset the printing system:
    Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
    - Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
    WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
    - Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Default tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
    Finally, download and install the software from here.
    Let me know how this works for you!

  • I'm trying to uninstall Citrix receiver from my MAC Air but the program won't close.  Any ideas?

    I have a MAC Air running MAC OS 10.7.3.  After downloading Citrix server, I have uninstalled the program but the icon remains in the dock and I can't quit the Citrix receiver on my desktop (it appears to be trying to find a webpage for its server).  Trying to reach Citrix for a solution has been unsuccessful.  Has anyone else had problem uninstalling this program?

    Never mind.  I was able to find the solution via an earlier post from West.  Thank you!

  • I have a Mac Air.. with 10.10 and just purchased a HP laserjet pro M201dw  .. I can't get it to print duplex in pages or word.  In pages not highlighted. does in Adobe for pdf.  Help!

    I have a Mac Air with 10.10 .  Just purchased a HP Laserjet Pro M201dw printer.  I can not get the duplex printing to work in Word or Pages.  It does work for PDF files in Acrobat Pro.  It won't for emails.  In Pages I see two- sided but it is dimmed.  I look at setups and it shows two -sided is off but can't find a way to change this setting.  In the printer setting itself, the duplex box is checked.  Need help.  Did notice the driver only goes up to 10.9 but it says on Apple site of supported printers this one is listed.
    Appreciate help in solving this issue.
    Thanks in advance for anyone willing to give me some time and assistance.

    All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

  • Can the mac air print to HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus Wireless e-All-in-One?

    Can the mac air print to HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 plus Wireless e-all-in-one?

    AirPrint is an iOS 5 protocol.  It is not used on the Mac or Lion.  What you *can* do is add the wireless printer to you network and print from the mac using that.
