MacBook will it run...

Hello,
Soon I may be buying a MacBook, but what I want to know, will it run Photoshop, Aperture and FCE OK. When I say OK, I mean smoothly...
I would be buying the 2.4 GHz Black or White Model...
Any feedback would be appreciated.

Yes but since the MacBook uses Intel's integrated video, you'll find that FCE stutters a bit. (I always transfer my video to a FireWire drive first before editing and seem to have less stuttering than many other people report.) If you are shooting in RAW you'll find Aperture to be very slow - in fact, I was so amazed at how slow RAW files are on a MacBook that I now recommend the MBP to photographers who do a significant amount of RAW shooting. Photoshop is just fine.

Leopard on my macbook, will it run as well as tiger?

i have a 1.83GHz intel core 2 duo macbook with 512 ram. can anyone tell me if upgrading to leopard when it comes out will make my mac run slower or would it even run faster?
i am most worried i don't have enough ram to really support leopard.

I would say either runs similar or will be slower compare to Tiger.
My macbook is so slow with its standard 512mb using tiger, and I almost decided to go back to eMac G4 with 2 Gb ram using 10.3.9. And with Leopard is more sophisticated and have a lot more feature (some of them are running at the background) it will use more processor and memory resources.
So Troy Enn is right on the money, and it also a good time for you to overhoul your macbook with more memory (2 x 1 GB).
Good Luck.

MacBook will not run PowerPC apps anymore

Recently, I have noticed that none of my PowerPC applications want to start up. I started noticing this after I tried downloading the latest quicktime updater. The updater downloaded, but could not install. Before the updater was installed, I had Quicktime using Flip4Mac by turning on Rosetta for installer, installing Flip4Mac, turning off Rosetta for installer, and then turning on Rosetta for QT. Everything went smooth, WMVs played great, but then QT wouldn't start after I downloaded the QT updater. I had to turn off Rosetta for QT, and since then no PPC apps will work, and QT will not play WMVs. How do I get PPC apps to work again?? Thank you, I appreciate any help!

Thanks for the replies. When I mean PPC apps don't work, I mean, nothing, Google Earth, Limewire, Word, Powerpoint, etc. Only Intel based apps work. Sorry I wasn't so thorough about explaining my problem, it was late and I was frustrated. I also forgot to mention that I have Boot Camp running with XP. This might be a separate issue, but I tried switching to it two nights ago, and XP would not start up. Anyway, I tried Disk Utility, and it did not fix it, but I did not restart either, So, I'll try that. Again thanks for the help and the quick replies!

MacBook will not run without being plugged in.

First off, I've updated everything I can find! I've reset the SMC and read through and did anything that looked like it might help. Here's the problem... I can't turn on my MacBook without the power adapter being plugged in, if it is running and I unplug it turns off. When I press the button on the battery to see if it is fully charged it is missing one dot, yet the plug light is green and not amber. On my screen it shows battery power is at 87% and it has the little plug icon in the battery, so it's not charging my battery. I am scared that when the battery drains my laptop wont work since it is slowly draining (was at 100% when the problem started a few days ago). This really is a big inconvience because I am chained to the power adapter and since it is magnetic I accidentally unplug it when I am not at a desk or table. So if anyone has any ideas please let me know! Help!

Haha i know i was just kidding about the apple joke, its only because i am one of the first purchasers of the iPhone and they only gave us $100 back instead of $200, but o well... this problem is getting even weirder, now my battery isn't recognized in mac os x, and i've tried all the trouble shooting methods. i'm taking this in saturday to the apple store. i'm starting to believe that its a battery issue, which is why i was only able to work off power since the new firmware. luckily its still in warranty and they'll issue me a new battery. who knows, maybe the firmware short circuited my battery?

White Macbook (mid 2006) Runs loud and very hot, battery not charging

I know my Macbook is getting a bit old now, but I don't think the way it is running is very normal.
The battery will say that it is fully charged, but it will only last about half an hour when disconnected from the charger. The light on the charger will not come on either, or it will blink when i attach it, then stay out.
My Macbook will also run very loudly, and hot. I don't ever run too many programs at once, so I know that it's not a strain on the system from what I can tell.
I tried resetting the SMC since it sounded like the problems I am having would be solved by resetting it.
Are there any known problems such as these, or fixes? Thanks.

Battery shows as having charge in System Profiler yet will not run from bat

My MacBook is about a year and half old. My battery just started doing this a few days ago. It shows as not charging. Checking the battery shows that it has 85% power left (this was 86% the day it started). The magsafe connector stays green. The MacBook will not run without the power connected.
I am not sure if this is an issue with the battery, the batteries connector, or with my MacBook. I'm pretty tight fro cash right now and need my MacBook working. I don't have money to throw at parts I don't need. If anyone has experienced this issue before and has any insight please let me know. I'm a starving web programmer and I need to be able to bring my MacBook with me to meet with clients.
Thanks,
Steven

Do you think it is software. It will not even boot when the power is not connected. I was thinking it was a problems with ACPI in the EFI BIOS. The strange thing is just a moment ago the magsafe went orange and the power states calculating. This is the first time I've seen the magsafe orange since this started four days ago. I came back to this thread to update it with this little tidbit and saw your reply.

MACBOOK WON'T RUN OFF BATTERY

My MacBook will not run off the battery.
I replaced the battery. Now when the machine boots the battery icon indicates that it is calculating for a few minutes and then displays an X in the icon.
I click on the icon at get the message that NO BATTERIES AVAILABLE.
The battery is charged and I have reset the SMC.
From all of the disussion groups this appears to be a common problem.
IS THERE A SOLUTION?

Hello leighdk,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You can by all means take some good advise from the people on this board in response to you problem.
But here is the best advise, especially since you're new to Mac.
Call Apple Care or take it back to the store and have them check it out. It is under warranty. You have 14 days from the date of purchase to return the Mac for a completely different or give it back because you do not like it. they may try to charge you a restocking fee but this should not be the case since there is an issue with you machine.
Call Apple, see what they say... Then if you can't get it resolved then post back and maybe we can give you some sound advise.

My MacBook Pro is running very hot after lion install. Are there any hardware changes that will help? What can I do to get it back to normal?

My MacBook Pro is running very hot after lion install. Are there any hardware changes that will help? What can I do to get it back to normal?

I get the impression that most of the users on older hardware experiences similar temperature issues on Lion for a long time now. Awaiting for confirmation from the original poster.
In the meantime I'm just cautious with regards to pushing the machine to such extreme temps, since something tells me such behaviour which includes monitor flickering and the likes is nothing but abnormal for any type of use...
Any clues if 10.7.5 does anything on this? If not I'm afraid i see myself going back to SL for good...

Macbook will not boot up after running Software Update

My MacBook will not boot up after running Software Update (Security update + Java?) earlier today. I have only the gray start up screen + Apple logo + gear wheel constantly rotating. I have tried restarts several times and tried to start up from my original system DVD - this makes no difference.
I called Apple support, tried resetting the power and PRAM - still no difference. He had no knowledge of other problems reported; although I note recent post may have same issue.
I cannot get an appointment at my Apple Store before Monday.
Any suggestions?

Still no success. When I hold down the option key when powering up I get the hard disk icon plus arrowhead (only). When clicking the arrowhead it goes to the gray screen + apple logo+ rotating gearwheel.
This happens both with DVD in slot and without DVD. the DVD image is not coming up on screen. When I start up without DVD the hard disk icon appears promptly. When I start with DVD in the DVD is spinning for a short period before the hard disk icon appears. On clicking the arrowhead to hard disk icon the DVD spins again for a while then stops. Apart from the DVD spinning, both situations result in gray screen + apple logo+ rotating gearwheel.

My MacBook Pro is running on an older version of Mac OS X but will not allow me to upgrade to a newer version

My MacBook Pro is running on a 10.5.8 operating system but has not allowed me to upgrade. It has been fine for the past few years but is now getting to the point where programs are not functioning properly. What operating system should I be trying to upgrade to and what should I do in order for the upgrade to work? I have tried upgrading to Mac OS X Snow Leopard but it says that I need 10.6 in order to upgrade to Snow Leopard. The only upgrade that has begun to work has been a 10.5.6 which is a less updated version of the operating system that I'm already using. Will downloading 10.5.6 allow me to upgrade to a better version? Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a Core Duo Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update.
If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, upgrade it as if it was a Core Duo Mac, and if desired, open the Mac App Store, and try downloading 10.9. If you get told it's incompatible, go to the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004. If you upgrade the OS, back up the computer first.
