Need help choosing a new macbook

I want to buy a small lighter macbook. I have a 15" macbook pro. i do like it despite the MANY times it has been in for repair.
I need the smaller one for travel etc. I don't think I want the Air b/c it doesn't have a burner.
That leaves the 13" Macbook. I am on my computer many hours everyday. I do have too many photos & would like a great way to edit, save, store. I also download lots of music. I have a website and store that all on my desktop b/c my Macbook Pros burner ha not worked more that it has. I have to take it for repair again.
I would spend whatever to have everything I need in it.
Pls help me choose macbook and and things i should have configured on it.
thx!

hello!
the white MBs have always been dependable for me and every at my school. they work great and the new updated graphics card in the white MBs seems to be the thing you need. if you have a ton of stuff on the MB pro, the hard drive may not be big enough on he white MB, but for the price difference of an upgrade to the aluminum one, you can buy a TB of space on an external HD. not bad. the white MB has a SuperDrive. my flute teacher has a silver MB and it has a hard time picking up AirPort signals because of the metal, so the white one is better if you intend to use the AirPort frequently.
hope that helps a bit!

p.s. here's a great case if you intend to carry around your laptop. i have it in pink and i absolutely love it!

I need help choosing a new MBP (previous one was stolen)

Hello everyone, I need help choosing my next macbook pro because my previous one (15" Core i7 high res anitglare screen) was stolen . As you probably tell I spent a lot of money on my previous one and now I am a broke college student that doesn't have $2,400 to drop on a replacement.
So this is where you come in... because of budget reasons I have been looking at the 13 inch macbook pro but I just cannot bring myself to spend $1200 on a laptop with old technology (Core 2 duo processor) not to mention it is only 2.4ghz. I am not really sure what to ask about it I think i just need some good stats or other convincing information to allow me to buy it.
I know about the student discount and the refurb. macs, are there any other reliable ways to get a less expensive MBP?
I am a converted PC user and I LOVE macs, please don't let my budget make me revert back to a PC...

Like you’ve already said refurb is a good option.
I know it’s a bit late now but let me point you in the direction of Prey Project.
Prey Project is an open source program I use on my MacBook Pro, it’s a program that can track your computer and phones if stolen using GPS / Google Maps etc to give you location of it.
It will also take pictures of who is in front of it, log what they are doing etc.
Check it out here http://preyproject.com/ this such an amazing program that is free to use, will work on Apple, Windows, Linux and Android phones.

I need help choosing a new Palm phone.

No device
I'm trying to get a new Palm phone but the HP website has no useful information. I would appreciate anyone's help with choosing a new phone to replace my Palm Centro. I want to continue using the Palm because it sounds like iphones and other smart phones don't have a way to back up their contents and they all require internet.
Here are some of the qualities I'd like to have:
1. No internet requirement but able to use wifi.
2. ptunes or similar mp3 app that syncs with Rhapsody.
Thanks,
Mario

Hello mars_d11, I regret to inform you Palm Inc. ceased to exist years ago.
There are no more PalmOS phones in existence. You do have the option of searching for another Centro on the internet...p

Need help with my new Macbook Pro please!

I recently bought the new Macbook retina and I managed to copy all my email from my old mac to the new one however now whenever I receive an email, it automatically gets sent to junk, and I have to mark it as not junk each time.
It never used to do this on my old mac it was just now recently when I got this new one and I've not been able to solve this problem yet.
Also there is an annoying thing I notcied that every box when quitting any application appears to select one option of two ( I didn't know how to put it in words but hope the attachments explain what I mean )
How can I overcome the email problem as well as the other unknown problem?
Regards

You probably qualify for the up-to-date program and you can get a free copy.

Need help with my new Macbook

Haii there.
Got a brand new MBP some weeks ago, and has caused trouble for a week now
Offen when im just using Itunes or something like that, the music stops, program goes into retard "No responding"-mode and im stuck with the loading curser. Then i've tried to just leave it like that, but doesnt help anything, and at somepoint i have to turn off the power by holding the powerbutton down. Then when I try to start it up again i get stuck in the gray loading screen... Read some posts about this, which to me to start it up from the disc, cant make this work. When its starting and the loading bar starts it runs for a while and then turns off the computer.
I really bought a Mac because I thought the were stable for my school work, so looking for help.
Anyone out there who can help me?

First off your Macbook Pro is under Apple Care and they are obligated to fix it for ya.
If you are skeptical to to boot from Disk and run Disk Utilities then you should call Apple for their assistance.

I need help choosing a new laptop computer

Hello
I currently have a lenovo 16in laptop and it craps out on me--I'm ready for a new comptuer.
I need it to be able to do research, write multiple documents and most importantly it needs to be portable and durable.
I am interested in the google chromebook but very hesistant.
Please help!!

Hey Taryn,
I understand you want a new laptop to do research, write documents, and browse the internet. Thank you for such great info to start out!! I have a couple questions.
Do you have any brands already in mind? What is your idea price range? And when you say portable, are you talking about a netbook or just a small laptop? I'm looking at laptops that Best Buy sells but answering these questions will really help me start to narrow it down for you!
Also, are you going to need your laptop for anything else other than the basic tasks you already listed??
Thanks!

Need Help choosing a new tv and home theater system.

I can never really keep up with all the new stuff coming out but i am not really looking for anything too fancy just simple. I looking for something around 50" and a blue ray home theater system. My budget is roughly around $2000 or so. the less i spend the better hahhahaha. anyways the only thing i will be hooking up to the tv is the new home theater system, cable and Xbox 360. Any suggestions?

All the 50" tvs are plasma, so I would recommend:
Model: PN50C680G5F | SKU: 120138 Model: YHT-493BL | SKU: 987545 Model: 114011-00 | SKU: 9343356 Model: 114011-00 | SKU: 9343356 Model: BD-C5900 | SKU: 1012858
That's a Samsung 50" 3D Plasma, Blu-ray player, Yamaha Home Theater system, and your 2 HDMI cables. You'll need another HDMI cable for Xbox 360 if you don't have one already to connect to the receiver.

Need help choosing a new router (business use)

Here is what I have: Windows XP Pro Workstation (Wired) Server running Windows 2000 Server (Wired) Server running Linux (Wired) Windows XP Pro Laptop (Wireless) Playstation 3 (Wireless) I plan on creating a VPN connection to my network using Microsoft's VPN (Routing and Remote Access component to be specific); however, I currently have a 3 year-old Linksys Wireless-G Router w/Speedbooster (WRT54GS) that does not allow incoming VPN Connections. I have confirmed all the settings are correct on my end and the router will not cooperate. I would like to get a new router that will allow incoming VPN Connections and provide wireless to my wireless equipment. I DO NOT want to use 3rd party VPN software. Your recommendations are much appreciated.

It is unclear to me what kind of VPN connection you want to make exactly. Do you want to have a VPN connection from a computer in the internet using Microsoft's VPN client (i.e. PPTP or L2TP) to a server inside your LAN which is running the VPN server? What protocol do you want to use?
This should work through the WRT you have already. What hardware version do you have? Check the label underneath the router. Check for firmware upgrades for your router on the linksys technical support pages.
What port forwardings did you configure for the VPN tunnel?
Some people reported that the pass-through settings in the router were reversed: not setting the pass-through option actually allow traffic.
I don't think that a new router will necessarily solve your problems.
If you still want to upgrade, I would not necessarily look for a full replacement of the WRT. The WRTs (older and newer) bundle many functions inside a single box which make it versatile to use but on the other hand also has it downsides when one function influences some other for instance.
You can easily turn your old WRT into an access point for your LAN. If you want to buy a new router I would rather look into a wired router maybe even considering one with a VPN server built-in. Then you can establish the tunnel to the VPN router instead of a server inside your LAN. But you have to check the VPN routers carefully if they really support the client you want to use for the connection. Some are limited.

Need help choosing a new all in one printer. Help!!!

I'm so sick my hp d135
It has given me nothing but pain.multiple users never worked
ink cartriges never lasted.
And I've had a scanner failure for the past two years.
shame on me I kept it this long.

MacFormat magazine (http://www.macformat.co.uk/) has a Buyer's Guide section at the back of each issue of the magazine where they recommend the best hardware and software for your Mac. Under printers they highly rate the Canon PIXMA MG8150 and the Canon PIXMA MG6150 (bear in mind that these are UK model numbers and the same printers may have different model numbers in your country!).

Need help choosing a new motherboard for my k430!

Hello, last christmas I got a k430 desktop, then this christmas got a Nvidia GTX 780, and a 750w PSU from Corsair. But was extremely dissapointed when I realised that my £1000 desktop could not support a higher GPU than a 560.
So after a lot of searching around I found the parts list in the user manual. The only two motherboards that are supported by my case are these two:
ECS H61 MATX 1.0 95W MB @RTL8111F_A662(R)
MSI Z75 MATX MB MP MB@RTL8111E_ALC892®
My main question is wil a Asus Z75 run a gtx 780 (and is it the same thing that is listed above).
Thank you for your time.

Did you try putting your 780 in? I"ve currently got a 660ti in mine K430 and it worked no problem.

I need help to decide which macbook pro is best for photo editing, editing movies and doing all the rest too like excel, word etc. 13"

I need help to decide which macbook pro is best for photo editing, editing movies and doing all the rest too like microsoft office products ...excel, word etc. I am new to the apple world and have liked the idea of the MAC Book Pro 13" but really dont know if this is good enough or if the computer will soon crash?
13-inch: 2.6GHz
with Retina display
Specifications
2.6GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz
8GB 1600MHz memory
512GB PCIe-based flash storage1
Intel Iris Graphics
Built-in battery (9 hours)2

That's a fine machine and, with 8GB of RAM and 512GB flash storage should serve you well for light video/photo editing as well as for 'normal' usage. And it should last you for years to come.
Good luck in making your decision!!
Clinton

I backed up my old macbook onto a hard drive through time machine. now need to restore to new macbook air. HOw??

I backed up my old macbook onto a hard drive through time machine. now need to restore to new macbook air. HOw??

If you've not started the new computer yet, after you've started it you'll answer a few questions and then be asked whether you want to restore the computer. If you answer yes you'll be asked the source. Choose hard drive - make sure the TimeMachine drive is plugged in. Choose the TM drive from the list and let it go. It will take a while.
If you've already started the computer look for Migration Assistant in the Utilities folder. You'll be asked the same question about the source. Follow the instructions above.
