Macbook pro or mac book
I was wondering if i just bought a macbook and maxxed it out would pro logic 8 run good on it or should i just invest in a macbook pro? I guess my question is what is the difference in the 2 as pertaining to running pro logic studio? I would also be installing battey and the komplete synth line from native instruments as well..just to verify my usage.....thanx
The specs to evaluate the MacBook Pro VS. the MacBook are:
1. bigger display;
2. backlit keyboard;
3. aluminum body;
4. more powerful graphic card;
5. a Firewire 800 port;
6. standard DVI video out;
7. Express Card 34 slot.
If you don't need all these then you will be ok with the MacBook.
cheers

Face time has stoped working on macbook pro and mac book air
Its been a week and Face time has completely stopped working on my Mac Book Air and Mac book pro,
I have I PAD 3, I PAD 2, I phone 5 , I phone 5, MAC Book Air Core I 7, Mac book Pro 13" core I 7, using all of this some of these devices which are in India also I am using some to communicate with my family using Face time,
just a week Ago my wife was trying to call me using face time and she couldn't connect, she tried and when she calls i do get call but as soon as I answer it said failed and call ends, i though some thing may be wrong with connectivity , but then I asked her to use i pad instead mac book air to do faceting and it worked from i pad to i phone, but she couldn't call using Mac Book Air to I Phone. I thought the ID may have some problem in mac and i asked her to log out and re logging, and there you go, she couldn't even sign in back. i was thinking what's wrong and i came home and started my mac book pro to see what's wrong by logging in to her mac book air using team viewer but before doing that i though lets just cal from my mac to her I pad and then i couldn't even call so i tried to log out and log in and its a same issue i cant login either.
now its been a week i cant log in to face time in my mac neither my wife on her mac book air. when we use ID its says check your network connection, where my net is working absolutely fine as i am using face time from on I pad and i phone.
i think Apple may have stopped Face time for MAC users.
so i can confirm the problem is only with MAC BOOK .
if any one has solution for it, or any feedback that when it will start again, please advise as I need Face time to be working in my mac.
Many thanks in Advance for looking in to my topic.Hi jashpal,

Dear All
Using Lion since last week it appears impossibilities to watch my .mov videos despite upgrade of perion, quicktime, flip4mac; divx and all other software for videos. can u-you please help on such subjects ?
RegardsHi...
If you have the divx extension installed in Safari > Preferences - Extensions, click Uninstall.
Quit then relaunch Safari, try a .mov file.
You can always re install the extension if that didn't help. -
insteade of using mac os on macbook pro, i wanted to install windows 8 pro on mac book pro, will that void my warranty
Installing any OS you want on your machine will not void the warranty. Only making hardware changes other than those listed as "user servicable" by Apple, or negligence will void your warranty.
I will warn you that there might be SMC or EFI udates you will want for your Mac hardware that are only available if you are runnign Mac OS. For this reason, you may want to keep a small partition on your drive which still has Mac OS installed, or at the very least, keep an external HD around to be able to boot Mac OS. Additionally, if you are having hardware issues, like a failing DVD writer, you may have a harder time getting Apple to repair it under warranty if you can not reproduce the error under Mac OS. When I had the DVD writer replaced in my first MacBook Pro, I found the problems trying to write discs under Windows 7, but when the tech could reproduce an error under Mac OS, he quickly accepted it was a hardware problem and not software. Without reproducing it under Mac OS, he admitted that he might not be able to get them to replace the drive. -
Which is better mac book pro or Mac book pro with retina display?

If or when upgraded to the max, the Retina is a good value.

Hello everyone I need help! Why i cant Update to Mountain Lion if Im gonna try to update my Macbook Pro with Mac OS X 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5. It always says "Your Software is up to date" which is only Mac Os X ver. 10.7.5
Not sure what exactly you did (or not), but it looks as if you should attempt doing it all again, only this time all right and by the book. Many millions have done so, and sure it'll work for you as well.
If you've indeed purchased ML already, you'll find it exactly there in the App Store: under Purchases. -

Can't Get MacBook Pro and Mac Pro to Network
I have a MacBook Pro (2008 - 2.5 Ghz. Core 2 Duo with 4 Gb of RAM running OS X 10.6.7) that I have been connecting to my Mac Pro (2005 - 2 2.66 Ghz Xeon with 20 Gb of RAM running OS X 10.6.7) through an Ethernet switch on my school's network. This has worked without a hitch for years, but when I upgraded to 10.6.7 recently, the MacBook and Mac Pro fail to network. On the MacBook Pro, the Mac Pro's icon doesn't show in the shared area, and on the Mac Pro, I can see the icon for the MacBook Pro, but when I click on the icon to connect, I get the message that "Connection Failed There was an error connecting to the server (name of my MacBook Pro). Check the server name or IP address, and then try again." I have tried a direct connect using the "Connect to Server" under the Go menu on both machines, using their IP addresses, but no luck. Is there something I need to re-set to get these two to talk again? I have other Macs on the same network that my MacBook and my Mac Pro can see, and both machines can connect to them. They just can't connect to each other.
Thanks in advance for any ideas you might have on how to fix this.I fixed the problem by re-setting the default values for my VirusBarrier X6 anti-virus program.

I have a 3 year old MacBook Pro with MAC OSX 10.6.8, iPhoto ’09 version 8.1.2 and have downloaded two software programs: one is Aperture 3.2 and the other is Photoshop Elements 9 (which I got from a friend who didn’t need it).
I am totally happy with the way iPhoto organizes my photos and how I can work with iMovie to create slide shows with music from iTunes, etc.
I have been shooting mostly high resolution jpegs and I continue to learn more and more about photography, post processing etc. I realize that the small adjustments I can make in iPhoto are good, and are adequate most of the time. However, a have started to experiment with shooting RAW images and would like to go the next step, ie. post processing.I am totally technically challenged and need SIMPLE, INTUITIVE programs and am certainly NOT anywhere ready for Photoshop CS whatever!
After having these programs sit on my computer, I decided to try to see if I could figure them out. When I opened Aperture, this is what first comes up.
“Welcome to Aperture 3.2
Your library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of Aperture. Once upgraded, you will not be able to use this library with previous versions of Aperture.
Upgrading a library from previous versions of Aperture 3 generally takes a few minutes or less, though larger libraries will take longer. After that, Aperture 3.2 will upgrade your library's thumbnails, but you can use the application during that time.
Tip: To open a different library, quit Aperture and hold the Option key down while starting Aperture
Current Library Location:
Jadzia (home) -----Pictures------Aperture Library
QUIT UPGRADE”
I have heard horror stories about moving your entire library to Aperture, ending up with 2 libraries, etc. etc. hence my previous reluctance in attempting Aperture. In addition, many of my photography friends are saying: Go with Lightroom 3.....you’ll love it!
So here is my dilemma. I don’t want to mess around with my iPhoto library. All I want to be able to do, is to isolate a few photos, export them to Aperture, Elements, and work on them there, then bring them back into iPhoto.
Can I do this? Should I forget about Aperture and Elements and look at purchasing yet another program like Lightroom?Export those few photos via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with Kind = Original to the Desktop. Then import them into the Aperture library. That would keep one copy in your iPhoto library and another in your Aperture library to edit, etc.
You can use Photoshop Elements 9 from within iPhoto as your editor of choice. However, if you edit a raw file in iPhoto with PSE9 the resulting edited version must be saved outside the iPhoto Library and imported back in as a new file. For editing jpegs just do a Save (not a Save As) and it all will be kept within iPhoto.
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
