New MacBook USB Question

Hi Guys,
I'm building a new portable studio.
I'm used to firewire gear.
I want to get a new MacBook (not Pro)
and use a Tascam US 1641 with a Presonus D8 to have 16 ins.
Since the new MacBook's don't have Firewire, I will need an external USB 2.0 HD for recording.
My question is this.
Can I record 16 tracks in at 24 bit 48 to the USB external Drive?
Tascam plugged into one port, HD plugged into another.
What is the track count for a USB 2.0 7200 RPM drive?
What limitations can I expect?
Thanks so much.

Ok,
So after running some tests myself, both of you guys were right.
The USB bus can't handle both the External HD and the Tascam.
Bummer.
However, what about the MacBook internal drive?
If I were to replace it with a 7200RPM could it handle 60 tracks at 24/48?
You will have to find someone with personal experience to answer that one. A Laptops bus system isn't as robust as a desktop and that's a lot of tracks. The other problem is heat, a faster drive runs hotter, the new Macbooks are small and can get pretty warm from just the nvidea graphics processor.
Have you been over to the Alu Macbook forum?
Also, the new MacBooks have the GeForce 9400M in them.
Do you think that Snow Leopard will take advantage of that card and help with > running Logic?
Very doubtful.
Not trying to be negative here but I think you will have a difficult time trying to get what you need (reliably) from one of the new Macbooks.

    What plug adapter do I use to connect the new Macbook USB-C port to a cinema display?

    If you intend to connect your 2008 display to the new macbook then you will need a USB-C VGA Multiport Adapter ($79) as well as a mini display port to VGA port adapter ($29) and also a VGA-VGA Standard 15-Pin VGA Male to VGA Male Cable ($5).
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MJ1L2AM/A/usb-c-vga-multiport-adapter

    http://www.amazon.com/VGA-VGA-Standard-15-Pin-Male-Cable/dp/B0002AHT0M
    The 2008 old cinema analogue Apple Cinema Displays were mostly pre-quipped with a mini display port rather than a  VGA or HDMI port. So you will have to connect the mini display port to VGA port adapter to your 2008 ACD and the USB-C VGA Multiport Adapter to your new macbook and connect the two female VGA ports with a VGA-VGA Standard 15-Pin VGA Male to VGA Male Cable.
    But I can't guarantee though that the above setup will work for your new macbook and your 2008 Apple Cinema Display. You should double check with Apple support regarding my suggestion. Just let me know.......

  • New MacBook Air: questions about how to network (AirPlay, Time Capsule, Apple TV, etc)

    Hi guys,
    I am the new owner of a MacBook Air 13" and I've decided to upgrade my home network. Can one of you please help me identify the additional products I need to purchase in order to achieve my desired goals?
    Here is what I want to do:
    * I want to have a large, local, networked hard disk where I can store thousands of photos (iPhoto library) - looks like time capsule or possibly Airport Extreme would be good here
    * I want to access this iPhoto library from my MBA, MBP, and iPad 2. The photos will not be stored locally on any of these devices. Is this possible, and would I experience significant slowness due to this setup? Basically i want a local cloud with massive storage.
    * I could also be tempted to store my iPhoto library in Dropbox but I wonder if the laptops etc would support this? Also this much storage could get pricey.
    * I would like to stream music from services like Pandora and Spotify to my home theater system, which has all kinds of optical / coponent connections (Denon receiver). Ideally I'd like to do this from any of my devices including iPad and even iPhone. I do not use iTunes.
    * I would like to stream content from my devices to my TV including photos and videos, as well as basic mirroring functionality. Given I currently stream Netflix etc through Xbox this is the least important of all my desires. My tv has things like hdmi connections.
    So guys do you think I can do this? Particularly the iPhoto part. Im really looking for a seamless experience in accessing my photos from any laptop.
    Any tips on exactly what products I need to buy would be greatly appreciated.

    "Now my confusion comes from reading about setting the TC in bridge mode."
    "The TC is only a foot or two way from the AEBS"
    Last item first....if the TC is this close, it might make more sense to connect the two devices together with an ethernet cable. (Always use ethernet connections when possible for faster speeds and more reliable connections.) You would connect one end of the ethernet cable to one of the LAN ports on the Extreme and the other to the WAN port on the Time Capsule.
    Bridge Mode....You only want one router doing DHCP and NAT and that is being done by the Extreme according to your post. Since the Time Capsule is also a router, you would want to configure it in Bridge Mode so that you will avoid IP conflicts and double NAT errors on your network. Do this as follows:
    Open Airport Utility and click on Manual Setup for the Time Capsule.
    Click on the Internet icon at the top of the pane.
    Now look for the "Connection Sharing" setting near the bottom of the pane. Select "Off (Bridge Mode)
    Click Update to save your new settings.

  • Can the apple cinema display hook up to a new MacBook (i.e. is there an appropriate adaptor)?

    Is there an appropriate adaptor to hook the new MacBook (USB-C port) to the Cinema Display?

    The Apple HDMI adapter allows the Macbook to be charged while it is using an external display (via HDMI)
    Even if an Apple Thunderbolt display was compatible with the Macbook video output  you would not have all of the other docking features of the TB display available to the Macbook (extra USB ports, charging etc).
    BTW - there is another discussion about TB displays:

  • Got a New MacBook!! (And a few questions)

    Hello everyone...
    I've finally switched to Mac! Well... I'm halfway in the process. Right now I'm typing this on my PC. I'm completely new to the world of Mac, and if you could help me with some questions I have, I'd really appreciate it!
    1. How fast is the file transfer from a PC to a Mac (by a direct Ethernet Connection)? Is it like USB 2.0, or a little slower?
    2. My MacBook came with the MagSafe Power Adapter, and another cable that the MacBook Tech Specs page calls "AC Wall Plug & Power Cord". What is this one for? Isn't the MagSafe the one I should use with my computer?
    3. I'm concerned about battery lifespan, I want my battery to last as much as possible. The thing is, I'm not going to college until September (next year), and I probably won't need the battery power until then (right now, I don't need portability that much).
    What's the best I can do to keep my battery condition like new? The supports articles I've read say that Li-Polymer batteries should go through at least one charge cycle per month. Is this the way I can maximize my battery lifespan? Or should I make it go through 2 charge cycles per month? Is there a better alternative?
    Also, I've read that it's good to calibrate the battery (perform a full charge, then a full discharge) every 30 charge cycles or so. Has anyone here done it? How were your experiences?
    4. Last but not least, I've read that the MacBook comes with a lot of programs already installed in the hard drive, and some people are saying that re-installing Mac OS X with the CDs provided in the box will give you disk space back for programs that you don't use. I've also read a little about this program: http://www.id-design.com/software/whatsize/ (I think it's freeware) that lets you do the same thing: claim hard disk space you're not using at all. How good is it? What's the best choice?
    Also, can I uninstall demo programs included with my MacBook once they expire (like iWork '06 and Office 2004)? Can I use iWork '06 after the demo expires, or are there any limitations?
    Well, thanks A LOT for reading this large thread. I hope you can help me out with my questions...
    Black MacBook (1 GB RAM)   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   Got my new MacBook!

    Hi and welcome to the Mac
    1. It depends on the ethernet port of your PC. The Macbook has a gigabit capable port than can transfer as much as 100MB per second. If your PC also has one, then this is probably the fastest option.
    Probably, your PC has only 100Mbit ethernet port, which allows you to transfer data at up to 10MB per second. In that case USB 2 will be a bit faster (even though you have to copy your data two times - once from the PC to the USB drive and once from the USB drive to you Mac).
    2. The power cord can be used as an extension if you can't connect the power adapter directly. Just slide off the wall plug on the adapter and connect the cable. You can not connect it to the Macbook directly.
    3. Not sure about that one. You should leave the battery installed though, because if it is removed the Macbook doesn't work correctly anymore (at least that's what I have heard, havn't tested it myself). The power connection to the battery is cut off as soon as it is charged, so it shouldn't be damaged, if you just leave it as it is. I have calibrated my battery when I got my Macbook (this made the capacity go up a bit) and should probably do so again soon. Maybe someone else can give you more tips.
    4. It is true that you can save space by doing a clean insall, just because you can deselect those applications that you don't need. iDVD for example comes with a Gigabyte (or even more) Templates. GarageBand and all its loops and instruments take several Gigabytes. I don't know that particular program WhatSize, looks quite useful though. You can remove the demos (Microsoft Office, iWork, something else?) by just dragging their directories (in the Applications folder to the trash (and emptying it). Unless you buy a full license of the Demos, they stop working after a certain period of time. You won't be able to open them anymore. If you delete an application and later realize that you need it, you can always re-install it from the included CD/DVDs.
    hope that helps

  • Thunderbolt / USB3 questions about external backup drives for my new MacBook Pro

    I have a new MacBook Pro retina 13". It has two USB3 and two Thunderbolt2 ports.
    Until now on my iMac I've kept two backups on two WD USB2 drives. I have never had any problems with any of my WD Passport drives. One for Time Machine and one for CCC (a complete bootable clone incrementally created at 3:30 am every day).
    I'd like to get new portable drives for my MBP for these backups going forward and have a few very basic questions, since this is the first time to have a device with a USB3 port, and the first time I even heard about Thunderbolt.
    If I get a USB3 drive and need to use it to restore things on my older iMac, which just has USB2, will it generally connect and run with USB2 at a slower speed? Or would I have to get a drive with both USB2 and USB3 ports?
    Is Thunderbolt just an Apple thing? Or is it a new standard widely used by peripherals now? I just never heard of it before. Is it faster than USB3?
    Is it common for drives to have both Thunderbolt and USB2 connections?
    Are there "hubs" for Thunderbolt like there are for USB? Considering the limited number of ports, I'm wondering the best way to connect 2 external drives. My iMac has 4 USB2 ports on the back, and I connect one drive separate to each of those ports, rather than going through a hub.
    Is USB3 like USB2 in that if you have even 1 USB2 device (e.g. my Logitech headset) connected to a USB3 hub it will slow down everything on that hub to USB2?
    Any recommendations for good, portable backup drives?
    Thanks,
    Doug

    Hi Doug,
    Lets see if we can address some of these:
    If I get a USB3 drive and need to use it to restore things on my older iMac, which just has USB2, will it generally connect and run with USB2 at a slower speed? Or would I have to get a drive with both USB2 and USB3 ports?
    USB3 is "backwards compatible" with USB2 so plugging a USB3 drive into a USB2 port should work, but at USB2 speeds.
    Is it common for drives to have both Thunderbolt and USB2 connections?
    Drives sold as Thunderbolt often (not always) have USB as well, drives sold as USB never (in my experience) have Thunderbolt connections.
    Are there "hubs" for Thunderbolt like there are for USB? Considering the limited number of ports, I'm wondering the best way to connect 2 external drives. My iMac has 4 USB2 ports on the back, and I connect one drive separate to each of those ports, rather than going through a hub.
    Yes there are (but don't expect them to be comparable in price to a USB hub) e.g. see here: http://www.belkin.com/uk/p/P-F4U055/
    Is Thunderbolt just an Apple thing? Or is it a new standard widely used by peripherals now? I just never heard of it before. Is it faster than USB3?
    I'ts an Apple technology (like firewire) and is far from widely used on peripherals.  There ARE Thunderbolt drives etc by companies such as LaCie, WD etc but they are still very expensive (3 or 4x the price of an equivalent sized USB drive).  For some this was a worthwhile expense since Thunderbolt is many times faster than USB2.  But the arrival of USB3 has, in my opinion, changed the landscape.  Yes, Thunderbolt is theoretically faster than USB3 (up to twice as fast) but benchmark tests have shown that in real world situations, the speed difference varies from no difference to Thunderbolt being 25 or 30% faster.  When you take into account that USB3 drives are more common than Thunderbolt and are only a little more expensive than USB2 drives at present, then it's a "no brainer" as far as I am concerned.
    Hope this helps.

  • Data migration to new macbook via external usb?

    So I have a macbook pro right now and am looking at getting a macbook. I want to use the data migration assistant during the macbook setup to keep all my files, applications and things from the mbp.
    The question is can I use a external usb drive to do this or does it have to be firewire? I wouldn't actually have both computers at the same time, so I would create a restore on the external usb and just plug that intot he new macbook. Would that do?
    If not and I need firewire, would a simple usb to firewire adapter work?
    Thanks

    Patience sir. People who have an answer will post. If no one does, it's probably too esoteric for most. See "A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs" at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=580146. That should get you started.

  • Getting a new MacBook Pro: HDD or SSD question

    Hey everyone!
    I'm about to get a new MacBook Pro, and there'sone problem I need a little help solving.
    I could either get a 500gb 7200rpm HDD at noextra charge, OR I could get a 128gb SSD for an additional $90. I'm slightlyleaning towards the SSD for the general reasons you've all probably heard aboutby now.
    Now let me just explain my reasoning here a bit. Ishould say beforehand that I already plan on getting a 1TB external USB drive,regardless of which internal drive I get. So space isn't really the issue.
    From what I understand, if I were to buy the MBPwith the 500gb HDD and just buy an SSD separately, that would total me around$220 (the price of a 128gb SSD nowadays). However, if I were to buy the laptopwith the SSD and then buy a 500 gb HDD at 7200 rpm, it would cost me $90 + $70= $160. So I'd be saving money by buying the SSD with the MBP it seems, noteven counting the fact that I could sell the SSD for a higher price than what Iactually bought it for!
    I know it sounds like I might already have myanswers, but I basically have three questions:
    1) Does that argument make sense to you? As in,is there anything I'm missing or not considering?
    2) Does anyone know what brand of SSD Apple shipsin MBP nowadays?
    3) I was planning on using my SSD for theOS/applications, and using the 1TB HDD for files/music/movies etc. Is that anideal setup or is there something I'm missing about that as well?
    I'd appreciate any helpful answers. Thanks!

    1 - Everyone has their own way of looking at it...
    2 - Toshiba but it can always change...
    3 - seems ok, iTunes might not really like to have all the files in an external drive but it seems ok...
    P.s.- 1TB will not be enough... LOL... try something bigger like a 3TB drive (think future friendly)

  • Question about migrating data from mac pro to new macbook

    Hello all,
    I ordered a new macbook today and i'm very excited. It will be the first time i've had two apple machines simultaneously. My question is in regards to getting my new macbook all stocked up with the files and apps currently residing on my mac pro.
    1. I don't know if by using migration assistant if the data is removed from the old machine and added to the new. I don't want that. I want everything currently on my mac pro to remain, unchanged.
    2. I'd normally use target disk mode, but no firewire on the macbook, so, no dice there.
    3. My startup disk and apps and such reside on one HDD in my mac pro, while my home folder, or user files, or whatever, reside on a separate HDD. will this cause a problem.
    Your input is much appreciated.

    It can be done with USB, but it is slower and less reliable.
    Ethernet works great, IF you have two FUNCTIONAL machines. The great thing about Firewire Target Disk mode was that if the HD/OS was corrupted, or the computer was for some reason unbootable you could still get data off of it quickly, without tools or special equipment. Firewire Target disk mode has saved my rear several times on every machine I have owned.
    The hard drive is fairly easy to remove on the aluminum Macbook. I would remove it and install it in an external Firewire enclosure temporarily to transfer your files quickly and reliably, then put the drive back in the Macbook.
    Firewire allows two operating modes. One is asynchronous, like USB which suffers from latency, bus contention and collisions.
    The other is isochronous mode, and it lets a device carve out a certain dedicated amount of bandwidth that other devices can't touch. It gets a certain number of time slices each second all its own. The advantages for audio/video should be obvious: that stream of data can just keep on flowing, and as long as there isn't more bandwidth demand than the wire can handle, nothing will interfere with it. No collisions, no glitches.

  • USB-C  Hub/Dongle issues with new MacBook early 2015

    With the new MacBook that has the single USB-C port I find these results and would appreciate any comments:
    I purchased an Apple dongle that has 3 ports:  USB-3, HTMI and USB-C.  I also got a new Belkin 'USB-# / USB-C" 32 gb Flash Drive.
    With this dongle (hub?) I can utilize a USB flash drive or USB 500 gb HD via the USB port while charging the MB
    I can use the new Belkin USB-C/USB-3 flash drive in the USB port while charging, too
    BUT if I remove the charger and just plug-in the Belkin Flash Drive on the USB-C side to the USB-C port on the Apple Hub -- NOTHING  NOTE:  The Belkin 2-size Flash drive works fine in USB-C mode if DIRECTLY connected to the MB
    I also purchased a Belkin USB-3  3-port hub with 1 more port - an Ethernet port.  (Note:  This is an UNpowered hub - no transformer, power comes from the Mac)
    This works great if all 1, 2 or 3 USB ports are being used with Flash drives of 500 mb to 64 gb in size.
    But if I plug-in a SLIM 500 gb USB-3 HD (not an SSD) - then if there are any flash drives in the other ports, they immediately lose power and are "ejected" - and I get a warning message.  So it seems to use a true HD with a USB Hub it will have to be a powered hub.  (I returned the other for full credit and have not yet purchased a powered hub because frankly, I want something portable - so don't plan to do that experiment myself)
    So would this hub have worked with a MacBook Pro or iMac?  Is it just that the new MB-2015 model doesn't supply enough power?  (Maybe, I think - but not so sure).
    Same result with a 4-port Targus USB-2 hub I use on my MBP-2010.  I'll test that on the MBP with the 500 gb HD tonight.
    OK so just wondering if there is anyone out there with similar experience(s) using either the new MBP or in general with HD's and Flash Drives utilizing powered and unpowered USB Hubs.  And the first question about why the Belkin Flash works from the USB-3 side but not the USB-C WHEN UTILIZING THE APPLE HUB/Dongle.  (The Belkin 2-size Flash drive works fine in USB-C mode if DIRECTLY connected to the MB).
    Thanks very much.

    To add. The following note appears on the Apple store site pertaining to T-tech's mobile USB Disk: "Note: The G-Tech G-DRIVE mobile USB 3.0 Hard Drive is not compatible with the Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter or USB-C VGA Multiport Adapter."

    You can direct connect your MBA to the LaCie via USB 2 cable.  If you have an Apple Airport Router you can USB connect the LaCie drive to the router and then use Airport Utility to configure it.  Time Machine can access it either way.

  • New MacBook Pro retina 13" arrived - first impressions and questions!

    My new MacBook Pro retina 13" arrived today, two weeks earlier than the promised delivery date. My version is the 2.6 GHz i5, 512 GB SSD and I maxed the RAM out to 16 GB, since there is no upgrade later. I also customized the keyboard, since I live in Japan but prefer the US keyboard.
    I posted unpacking photos and initial comments to my blog: http://lerner.net/new-macbook-pro-arrived/
    I want to talk about some of those points, and ask some more detailed questions here. I hope others find the questions useful.
    1. The keyboard is extremely nice. I like it better than the Bluetooth keyboard I have for my iMac right now. It has a nice feel to it.
    2. No dead pixels! As some of you might now from old messages, I get really paranoid about new Apple notebook computers. If I find even one dead pixel it gnaws at me and I call Apple and complain until they exchange it for a perfect screen. Well I’m happy to report that I went through thorough pixel tests in white, black, red, blue and green and all the pixels seem 100% perfect. Yay!
    4. The speaker seems quite nice. I played some music, and it sounded very beautiful to me, with good volume. I know some reviews of the MacBook Pro criticize the speaker quality, but it sounds as good or better than any of the speakers I currently have. I was quite pleased with that.
    5. The retina display is very beautiful of course. I don’t need to have it turned up anywhere near the maximum brightness. There is a very good illumination range.
    6. Because of the SSD drive, start up is very quick. Also it makes no noise at all. And it’s very light.  I’m glad I went for the 13 inch pro model. It was just a little bit more expensive, and just 200 g heavier. I can see this  replacing my iMac with the external monitor I bought.
    Some questions:
    Q1. Do I need protection pads for the hand rest to prevent discoloration over time? My old MBP 17" would get black-blotchey after a while. Eventually I got the top case replaced under AppleCare and protected it with pads. That was the late 2006 model. Is the construction material the same? Will my nice metal body lose its metallic finish and show dark blotches over time without protection?
    Q2. What are the best practices for battery use and sleep? My iMac is on all the time and only the display sleeps. I hear it's not best for the lifetime of the MacBook Pro to leave it connected all the time. Yet I need to run my daily CCC (Carbon Copy Clone) complete bootable backup, which runs at 3:30 am every day. So it seems I need to keep it plugged in all the time. Any suggestions here, regarding both battery charging and also turning it off vs putting it to sleep vs power nap vs leaving it running all the time like I do with my iMac?
    Q3. Is the "put hard disk to sleep when possible" meaningful at all for SSD?
    Q4. Is there a sleep indicator when the lid is closed? I didn't notice any.
    Q5. I notice I can view my iMac's music and TV library and everything plays instantly. That’s just wireless right? Because I have sharing turned on on my iMac I suppose. It seems as fast as if it were on my MacBook Pro though.
    Q6. A strategy question: I wonder if I should migrate from Time Machine and carry along years of garbage and wasted disk space, or just install and move things as needed. I'm tempted to do the latter and start afresh. Especially since a lot of stuff is in the cloud already: Evernote, Dropbox, etc. Initial installation of some apps, like Parallels Desktop and Office might take some time, but I bet I would save a huge amount of disk  space.  Yet the Migration tool which uses Time Machine is supposed to be good.
    I guess that's it for now.
    Thanks,
    Doug

    Q6 (Migrate using Time Machine?)
    If you don't want to automatically bring over everything, I would use CCC to clone the old system drive and then use that clone to drag the wanted files onto the new machine.  I would treat that CCC clone as a read-only archive until you were sure there are no additional files you want to migrate.
    I use a combination of CCC and Time Machine to backup my Mac.  CCC provides the reliability of simplicity and quick booting should the internal drive fail.  Time Machine's incremental backups have saved my bacon several times when a file "disapeared" or I saved a modificaton that I needed to reverse.  However the complexity of Time Machine during full restores can be a problem.  I have had Time Machine full restores fail at which time I was very happy I had a second backup to fall back on.   It is prudent to maintain more than one backup.
    I agree completely about using the combination of CCC and Time Machine and it sounds like you and I use it the exact same way, and for the exact same reason. I hae also had Time Machine full restores fail (particularly with Apple Mail) and was very glad to also have the CCC backup.
    The only thing I'm concerned about is making sure I grab everything I need for particular applications. For example, I'm not quite sure what all needs to be copied over from CCC to the new computer for Office 2008, which I am still running. It might be easier in that case to re-install certain software.
    Thanks,
    Doug
