Mac book Pro or mac pro for pro photgraphy

i need a new mac for photo editing and i need to know if I would be best served  by the most powerful configuration of Mac Book Pro with retina display or by a Mac Pro medium config (maybe it is a little overkill).
For photography on Photoshop, Lightroom and Apperture what is most important?
The processor, the RAM or the Graphics Card?
Thankyou.

All of them and the fast storage as well, though first priority is RAM, I suppose.

  • Mac book AIR or Mac book PRO for Autocad light user

    Mac book air or mac book pro with autocad?
    Hello everyone, i am trying to decide wheter to buy a Mac book AIR 13 inch or the mac book PRO 13 inch. I am an architech switching from office to MAC, and i am a light user of AUTOCAD.
    in AUTOCAD I only use 2d, i dont use any 3d or modeling or rendering in Autocad, i only use simple drawing features of autocad.
    I dont want to buy a 15 " because it is much heavier, i carry my laptop around all (i have a back problem, so the AIR would be amazing, but i dont know if it would run smoothly
    So my 2 choices are:
    1) AIR: 13" 1.7ghz dual core intel i5, 4gb, intel hd graphics 3000, not sure if 128gb or 256gb hard disk
    2) PRO: 13" 2.3 ghz, dual core intel i5, 4gb,  intel hd graphics 3000, 320gb
    Thanks for you help!!

    My preference is the Pro because there are more port options with the MBP.

  • Download windows support software for mac book air running Mac oS Lion.. too slow in bootcamp

    Hi guys,
    Do you know a site which I could download the windows support software for my mac book air running MAC OSX Lion. Using bootcamp takes a very long time and seems to be stuck. Any help is highly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Whart exactly are you having problems with?
    Installing Boot Camp, manually updating the B.C. Drivers, Apple software update updating the drivers, or Windows Software updates?
    You will or have a full Windows install. _ALL_ Microsoft Windows software is through Microsoft or 3rd partys. Apple just supplies the drivers for their hardware to be run in Windows.
    If you want to manually install the Boot Camp drivers then try here?:
    http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    Underneath the hardrive picture is a link for _Downloads_, it shows up as an error in my browser but when i put in "Boot Camp" in the "Search Downloads" bar I got a large list.
    Hope that helps.....

    hi,
    i have mac book 4,1 mac OS X 10.5.8
    when i open iTunes i can't open, it's requied quicktime 7.5.5 so woh can i sort out this

    QuickTime 7.5.5 for Leopard - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL27
    QuickTime 7.7 for Leopard - http://support.apple.com/kb/dl761
    = New version of Quicktime installed but application reports it needs to have that version installed =
    Open Application > Utilities > System Profiler and check the Quicktime version in Frameworks vs. the version in Applications.  One person had re-installed their operating system.  It had kept the newer Player application but had reverted to an earlier version of the underlying support framework files which many applications utilize.  Re-installing Quicktime 7.7 took care of the problem.  Do this manually, not with Software Update.
    Installation get stuck at "configuring installation" - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2592979?threadID=2592979  - uninstall Quicktime before installing.

    Unless you can set the Time Capsule's drive to have it's ownership ignored
    you won't be able to use the library on the same volume as the Time Machine backups.

  • I now have a macbook pro and my iPod was originally sync to a pc that isn't in use any more, how do i set my mac book as the "home computer" for my iPod 4?

    i dont want to lose all my apps and songs
    i just want to make my mac book as the home computer so i can update my ipod

    The only other thing I can think of is to pull the drive out and hook it to another machine with a USB enclosure. Something like this:
    http://www.amazon.com/Vantec-NexStar-2-5-Inch-External-Enclosure/dp/B002JQNXZC/r ef=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1388312417&sr=8-2&keywords=2.5+enclosure
    Then you could read it like an external USB drive. It's easy to open up and get the drive out.

  • What are the exact differences betweern mac book air and mac book pro

    I have not used mac book b4, and now I consider to buy a mac book. I am a college student and majoring in computer science. Can someone tell me what are the exact differences between MBP and MBA? I know the CPU in MBP is better than MBA and what else? Which one would you recommend me to buy? Waiting for your response. Thank you so much!

    This forum is
    Apple Support Communities > Notebooks > MacBook Pro >   Discussions
    So the question is relevant at least to the extent that it is asking for a comparison between a MacBook Pro and a MacBook Air
    MacBookAir definitely favors portability and sports a dual core i5 at 1.5GHz (max RAM is 4GB not user upgradable)
    MacBook Pro  has upto a quad core i7 at 2.4GHz (ships with 4GB and upgradeable to as much as 16GB on some models)

  • Installing Snow Lepard on Mac Book Air using Mac Book Pro

    Hello;
    I have installed SL on my Mac Book Pro using a Family pack (with which I succesfully ugraded our third home Mac...); The issue I have is installing it on Mac Book Air; the remote DVD/CD reader link works fine (I can read the instructions on the CD on the Mac Air), but when I double click on the Install icon, nothing happens....
    Help!

    Hi Marc,
    You can update the OS while booted to it. If you're running the installer from a disc image or mounted volume on your Desktop that's not going to work. When you go to use Remote Disc, did you enable it on your MacBook Pro and make sure both machines were connected to the same network?
    It's a pretty straight forward process, where are you getting hung up on the Remote Installer?

  • I have Logic on my iMac and want to install it on my new mac book but my mac book doesn't have a dvd drive. I tried to download the upgrade but it looks for an older version. How do I get Logic on the Mac book ?

    I would like to install logic on my new mac book but there is no dvd drive. I tried to downlaod the upgrade but that didn't work. How do I download it for the first time?
    Thanks!

    You can only use the App Store version to reinstall on your new Mac if you bought Logic via the App Store in the first place.... and then it will appear under the Purchases tab in the Mac App Store App so long as you are signed in using the same Apple ID you used to purchase Logic via the App store in the first place.
    If you bought the DVD edition of Logic Studio then you must initially install using those original DVDs to begin with and then update to the latest version of your version of Logic via software updates.
    No DVD drive? Buy an external one.. Amazon do a very cheap basic one that works well..
    or...
    Use Remote Disk if you still have your older Mac which has a built in DVD drive...

  • I want to copy my library to my mac book from my mac how do I do that

    I want to copy my library to my mac book how do I do this I tried using my back up but it did not trasfer the library as events?

    Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

  • Online mac books and instore mac books??

    hi i have family in usa who are coming over next week and they have offerd to bring me over a mac book as its cheaper.i was lookin the 2.16ghh, 120gb hard drive and was goin to upgrade the memory to 2gb. they say they can get this instore. is that possible or do you need to order it online to customize it? and also will there be any problems with bringing the note book into the uk?
    mac book 2.16ghz white   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    They can buy the MacBook in store with the 2GB. Ordering it online would require it being shipped to a US address. Alternatively they could buy the base model and you could easily upgrade the RAM yourself to 2GB. It is a user upgradable part, thus it would not violate the Apple warranty, and would be much cheaper. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303721
    In terms of bringing it into the UK, there shouldn't be an issue if they stick it in luggage or even carry on. If they wish to avoid possible customs tax just tell them (customs) the truth; it's a gift. Personally I'd go through the nothing to declare line, unless they have other items that need to be declared.
    Further, Apple Warranty is worldwide, so if you have issues here in the UK the Apple stores or authorised service providers can work on the machine without issue.
    I help this answer is somewhat helpful.
