Mac Book Pro going to keep up with Logic Studio

I am looking at purchasing a mac book pro 17" and would like to know if it is sufficient for Logic Studio use or if I should budget for a Pro Mac tower configuration.

Simon, I think you should fess up that the comparison here is made gainst a G5 running ProToolsLE, which is the same as filling up a Toyota Corolla's boot (trunk, for those in the other world), with concrete and driving it up the biggest hill you can find... with the air conditioner on.
I have Logic running on a G5 2x2 and a MacbookPro 2.2. Both are comparable with the same sessions, though the screen redraws on the MBPro are a fair bit snappier. The video card would adequately account for that, as the G5's card is 64meg and the MBPro is 128meg and a whole lot newer.. I believe Simons is actually 256meg.
The video performance doesn't effect audio performance at all.

Restore from the backup you had prior to installing Mavericks.
However, the upgrade should not have altered your partition scheme. Did your erase and format the drive prior to upgrading?

If you have the exact same problem - take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you. If you have AppleCare call them!

Mac Book Pro from mid 2009 compatability with Apple displays

Is my Mac Book Pro from mid 2009 compatible with the Apple Cinema 23" Displays from circa 2005?

Make sure the pins are correct for it. There is DVI-D as well so you need to double check that you are purchasing the correct one.

Look at the Apple menu's, "About This Mac," and then press "More Info" button, to identify your Mac model beyond just, "MacBook Pro."

You can blank the monitor using those keys, that's likely what you did, it's a feature.

How to get my mac book pro to associate my ID with it?

Hi,
I'm going to try this one more time. I live too far from the Apple store, so I need to do this at home if possible.
I bought a used Mac Book Pro where I work at a Pawn Shop. Of course, the OS was already installed and
when I tried to clear it out, it installed Maveric OS / or upgraded it using the old users Apple ID. I didn't understand
this process at the time coming from the PC world, I thought since I bought it legally, it was mine.
So, I tried to download the upgrades, and it asked for the Apple ID, which I did not have an ID that
was associated with this MacBookPro and it's OS. There for, I was not able to use my Apple ID that
I signed up for and received.
So, I wrote on here about my problem and was advised that I had pirated software and that I needed to
go back online and re-install using the Internet or Recover using the Internet Method. So, today I tried
and I was able to connect, and enter my Apple ID, but I recevied the message that I didn't have an OS
associated with my ID which is correct.
So, I'm in a pickle. I looked at the "About this Mac" and although it has good hareware, there is no serial number
as it seems the board might have been upgraded at one time. So, I can't tell what version of the OS was on this
machine originally and I"m not sure it would help anyway. But, I'd be willing to buy the original version of the OS
and use my Apple ID online to do so if it would help me with this Mac Book Pro?
I'm thinking I could go to the Apple Store online and get a previous version of the OS such as Moutain Lion
which I think sells for 19.95 and in return they send me within one day a code or something to redeem the same.
I'm wanting to know if I do this and I use my current Apple ID, would I THEN BE ABLE TO USE the internet
recovery method and erase the hard drive and start over with the bought versioni of the OS such as Mountain Lion
and then upgrade from there to OS X Maverick and get my upgrades from then on?
If this doesn't work, then I can only take it to the Apple Store I guess and see if they can help, but I'd like to avoid
that solution at all costs if possible just because I'm so busy and live so far away from a Store. I'm in a very small
town in Southern Indiana and there is no close Apple Store.
Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Regards
Tim

If you can still access the machine and haven't wiped the drive, open the Mac App Store, log in to your Apple ID, and try to download Mavericks from there. If it works, make a bootable USB from the
Mavericks installer (google how to do this). Then boot to the USB wipe the drive and install Mavericks clean. And since it shoudl be associated with your Apple ID at that point you shouldn't have any issues.

Turned my mac book pro on and a folder with a question mark just flashes

TTurned my Mac book pro laptop on and all I get is a flashing folder with a question mark on the screen

Have you tried to boot in Safe Mode (keep the Shift key down while booting, until the Apple grey backdrop, spinning gear and progress bar appear)?
If you can boot that way, it means some third-party software is causing problems.
If not, try to boot in Single User mode (press the Command/Apple and S keys on startup), then type "fsck -y" (no quotes), press Enter.
You should get a return such as:
fsck_hfs: Volume is journaled. No checking performed.
fsck_hfs: Use the -f option to force checking
If you do, then your startup volume is accessible. Type "restart" (no quotes...), then press Enter.
If not, you can try the following command:
mount -u/w /
(there's a space between mount and the dash, no space between the dash and u/w, and a space between u/w and the slash sign).
There shouldn't be any visible return on screen after that command, but if you wait a few seconds, you could then enter the following command:
systemstarter
Then press Enter.
That could suffice to boot your system, but still not the graphical user interface.
When the prompt sign (#) returns, type "restart" (again, without the quotes), and press Enter.
Tell us how it went.

Mac Book Pro 13 inch Graphics Issue with Yosemite

I have a major graphics issue with my Mac Book Pro mid 2010 after upgrading to Yosemite. I have a 2.66ghz with 8gb memory and 320M 256 MB NVIDIA graphics card. Since upgrading to Yosemite (after a clean install) I have had the following issue that are driving me crazy;
When I use more than one program my screen displays large blocks of unrecognisable fuzziness. I have two screen working off my Mac Book Pro, one is the Apple 27 inch theatre screen.
My system works slow despite have ample free memory available on my disk (over 150gb)
It is becoming an increasing concern as this issue builds up over the day to the point where I need to reboot to fix, however as soon as I use Photoshop the system almost grinds to a halt. Other issues that are bearable but ned addressing include;
Keyboard often does not work on startup and requires you to pull out the keyboard and reconnect (intermittent).
Lost email when sent (intermittent). I had hoped that this would be fixed in this updated release.
Laggy behaviour in general.
I am hoping someone has an idea to fix these issues or are also sharing my frustration. Can someone suggest fix as this is not a workable situation for Mac book Pro users and 2010 is not that of an old computer. Apple???

So you erased your drive and installed 10.10 and then 10.10.1 and everything else was t hrough Setup Assistant, through reinstalls, or through TimeMachine restore?
A four-year old laptop may be at the point where that small older gpu and processors have more trouble.
you might want to hold off and go back to Mavericks or whatever you had - hopefully you cloned that system before doing clean install, upgrade to 16GB, maybe throw in an SSD... or save and get the next MacBook Pro to come out.
And you checked your apps at http://www.roaringapps.com for compatibility.
Might help just to see what if anything shows up in output from Etrecheck.
Probably thought this was laptop MacBook Pro, it is not, probably best moved to Yosemite forum.
