Not sure yet

I plan on getting a mac book or a mac book pro and not sure what to get. I mainly want it to keep info and keep my music on iTunes for my new iPhone and get on the internet whenever i have wi-fi so could anyone give me some advice that would be great.
thanks,
Blake

You're welcome. If you were doing lots of heavy graphic work then I'd suggest the Pro. But I'm sure you'll be more than happy with the standard Macbook.

    Slow Preformance on HyperV VM's with IIS. Not sure what to change. Doesnt apear to be a Disc I/O issue. Seams to really on happen on VM's that are hosting a mostly static Intranet page. Also same thing happens on another VM that hosts an Apache site. both
    are not very large and VM's run on a Local storage space seperate from the OS and good I/O speed. Host Server gets good network speeds. I have the Host and the VM fully updated.
    Host Server is Windows 2012 and Hosts are Windows 2008r2
    I've gone thur the Hyper V Preformace Blogs and tried to apply all the hot fixes. but most I downloaded said it did not apply to our machine. So Not sure what the issue is.

    Hi Bizquick,
    >> I did that and Step 4 if thats the case just a few minutes ago on one of the Host's I think I started to see an improvement. But not sure yet. Going to need more testing.
    Has the problem has been solved by disable offloads ?

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • Not sure if i should get one

    I want a macbook,i really do. But its getting closer and closer to the time that im planning on buying one, and im not sure if i should get one yet. Im a sophmore in highschool, and i need a computer for highschool. I know im going to end up getting some bias answers but--Should i get a macbook now, or should i get some other computer? The computer that im going to get is going to have to last from now till--hopefully--the end of collage. So is there another computer that i should get, and get a mac sometime in the future? maybe even before collage and just have some cheap thing for highschool. I just want your opinions, im not trying to starts some kind of mac v. not mac arguement. I just didnt know where a good place to ask would be so i decided to ask here. Thanks Alot.

    I used both Mac and PCs during college.
    As a recent graduate, it was very important that I paid attention to my major and class requirements. Several classes I had required Internet Explorer, MS Project, and Visio.
    At the time the best choice for me was a PC. However, as a owner of a MacBook, I now dual boot and have the best of both worlds. However, dual booting does require a Windows XP Pro "SP2" disc.
    *Getting Windows XP*
    Around college you should not have a problem getting this. A single XP license actually allows you to install the OS on (1) PC and (1) Notebook. Finding another copy shouldn't be that difficult. And if worse comes to worse, you just call Microsoft (some place in India) and activate the copy over the phone. Just tell them the copy is on one PC to make it a quick phone call, they can't understand much more let alone any explanation of the license and if it was uninstalled off another computer.
    *Word Processor*
    I use Word 2004 for Mac. It functions well, but I feel Word 2003 is still better.
    *School Software*
    I would also check with your school and see what software you get with your tuition. Some schools just give out AntiVirus crap, others provide entire Office Suites. So if you are going for broke, keeping software cost in your plan is a good idea.
    *Final Opinion*
    If it were me, I would go with the MacBook. Because I know how to hunt for software, I don't figure it paying for any. The MacBook is actually a very competitive price. Since Apple provides the option to run Windows, why not get a MacBook to take advantage of both OS X and Windows environments.

  • Not sure if this is the right place...Recovery or Finding missing files

    Hi,
    Again, not sure if this is the right place to ask, but its worth a shot.
    so i've been transcribing video all day using microsoft office for mac, and was saving the project (i thought) to an external hard drive. at one point the HD came unplugged, and i plugged it back in. no big deal. i continued to save, to type, save, type, etc until finished. so when i finished and saved the project, seemed okay. when i closed word, it kept asking me if i wanted to save changes...i said yes, and it would just ask me again, did this a few times. i assumed it was asking me to save it to a new location, which i didn't think i needed so finally said no.
    i then find out that somehow when the HD was unplugged it erased Words ability to save to said location. so my last save was really before the HD was removed, which is odd, because i kept saving and never was prompted the path was interrupted or anything.
    so my question is two part...
    1. where would i find in the depths of the computer the saved files? if i was saving, they had to have gone somewhere, but i dont know how to find them.
    2. also, assuming it wasnt saving, my word prefs say it autosaves every 5 minutes, so those files must exist somewhere also, yet can't find them...
    does this make sense, can anyone help me?
    thanks

    Hi there,
    In Finder, select Go menu>Go to Folder, and go to "/volumes".
    Volumes is where an alias to your hard drive ("/" at boot) is placed at startup, and where all the "mount points" for auxiliary drives are created for you to access them. This folder is normally hidden from view.
    Drives with an extra 1 on the end have a side-effect of mounting a drive with the same name as the system already think exists.
    See if it may be in one of those with a 1 or 2 added to it.

  • Thinking of using Home Sharing. Not sure if I can or should.

    Hi. A few weeks back iTunes started asking me if I wanted to enable Home Sharing. I was curious but since I was unsure I haven't done it yet. Here's my deal, we have 2 Macs in the house and my stepdaughter synchs her iPod on our MacBook and she's fine with that. No one else does. On my PowerMac G4, however, I have profiles enabled and 3 of us synching our iPods on that. I've copied most of my library into my wife's and almost all of mine into my son's. So, if I'm not mistaken, if the size of my library is 10GB, we're using 30GB between us which seems very inefficient. My G4 has an 80GB HDD and I have a seperate, internal 250GB HDD. I'm not sure if this is what Home Sharing does but what I would, ideally, LIKE to do is locate my library on the 250GB drive, which I believe is possible, then enable home sharing so that me, my wife and my son all use the same library. If this is not what home sharing is for or not possible I apologize. I've done some searching and I don't see this particular issue addressed. Thanks.

    Hey guys,
    I'm interested in Arch Linux. So I want to throw it on a disc and give it a shot. If I like it, and it's lightweight and fast enough(I'm currently using Lubuntu, and I'm wanting to see if Arch is even lighter/faster), then I'll install it. But I was just reading the Wiki, and under the Pre-Installation part this is mentioned:
    Arch Linux is optimized for i686 and x86_64 processors and therefore will not run on any lower or incompatible generations of x86 CPUs (i386, i486 or i586). A Pentium Pro, Pentium II or AMD Athlon (K7) processor or higher is required.
    I have a seven year old computer, and I really don't know much about processors. So I'm not sure if I can run Arch. It looks like I have an AMD Athlon XP 2700+ processor. So going by this, am I able to use Arch? I've always download and used the i386 version of distros. And according to the wiki Arch is incompatible with this. So I'm guessing I can't run it, but I thought I would ask just to be sure.
    Thanks for any help.
    That processor is newer than the  Athlon K7 series. It is i686, and thus installling a i686 OS like Arch Linux will/should give you a faster computing experience.

  • Printer is not connected, yet the cord connects the printer to the computer

    printer is not connected, yet the cord connects the printer to the computer, HP Office jet 6700, computer Mac OSX 10.9.4

    Hello jbsarts,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with a connection error.
    First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    I have also located a document that deals with A 'No Computer Detected' or 'Connection Error' Message Displays during Scanning.  The document may have "Scanning" in the Title, but it will troubleshoot the issue just the same.
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
    Thanks for your time.

  • Not sure if Mavericks is worth the effort of downloading and I prefer mountain lion.  How do you make a file in Finder.

    I am not sure if Mavericks is much better than Mountain Lion as an OS.  The maps part was okay but I could not view the map as shown on the apple website, there was no 3D.  How do you create a file in Finder on the MacBook Pro.?

    Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude!!!!!!!!!!!!  YOU DID IT!  I cannot believe it!
    I changed "Move To Trash" to "Move to Trash" and selected a file.  I had lost all hope, so I took a minute to prepare myself for yet another moment of deep frustration.  Then I pressed F10, and bang! the file was trashed!!!  It took me a couple minutes to actually believe what just happened.  Thank you so much!  If I could, I would "like" you as many times as I can physically hit the "Liked" button!
    PS: what the heck is wrong with Apple though???  Wrong instructions, incorrect help instructions on their own site.  The chances of figuring this out before having a nervous breakdown were like one in a million (approximately, I did not actually do the math).  Last week, the keyboard and the trackpad stopped responding on my brand new macbook pro for a couple hours. I was not the only one with this problem.  Apparently, this was from a design flaw, which means it could happen again at any time.  iMovie doesn't work.  TextEdit keeps crashing all the time.  Emptying the trash can take hours. 
    Since 2000, I bought a PMac G4 Quicksilver, a used PMac G3 Blue, a used iBook G4, a used Pismo PBook G3, a used Graphite iMac G4, a used iMac G3 (green, 233MHz I think) and I already had more problems with this brand new macbook pro than will all the other macs combined...  For such an expensive machine, with 16GB of RAM, that's a little dissapointing, especially from Apple.  Maybe I'm just not lucky.
    Anyways, thanks again!  Best moment of 2014!

    I understand that there's something wrong with the TOC file (.ncx), but I have tried everything and nothing seems to work. Every section of the TOC is labeled, so not sure why the navLabel issue is happenening.
    Any help is GREATLY appreciated! Thank you.

    Similar issues looks like. Are you using a template other than those in iBooks Author? That's what I did, and that was definitely part of the issue.
    After digging through .ibooks code for hours and still not seeing the problem, I decided to reach out to one of the Apple epub conversion affiliates in iTunes Connect. They said they could repair the file without a problem, started working on it, only to come back a week later and say they couldn't work on .ibooks or .iba files yet.
    So, in complete frustration, I decided to transfer my content page by page from the blank template I downloaded from a vendor online to one of the "textbook" templates in IBA. This was a long process as I had to unlock and clear out the formatting of the template. But, once that was done and content was transferred over, all was good. I submitted/delivered the same content and preview book within the new template and it went right through the first time (all metadata was exactly the same as well).
    Now, the iBookstore approval waiting process begins!
    Good luck!

  • I'm not sure how to fix this problem?

    I made my original Apple ID a long time ago, and basically, the e-mail account I had used it with was deleted.  I've made a new Apple ID since.  My i-pod is still connected to the old ID, and I'm not sure how to change it.  I also don't remember the information I had used for the original ID.  My i-pod won't transfer all of my music unless I "authorize the computer" and I can't do that with my new ID becuause it "hasn't been used with the computer" yet.  I have no idea what to do now.  Please help?

  • Macbook purchased in June acting possessed, not sure what else I can do.

    SPECS:  MacBook Pro, 2.5GHz Intel Core i5  4gb 1600MHx DDR3 RAM, 500gb HDD running OS X 10.9.4
    Okay, so my family purchased me a new MacBook back in June, after my other one died after nearly 5 years. Right out of the box I had problems with it. When I first booted it up, it froze and crashed. After I finally was able to reboot it and get it up and running, it was extremely slow and would constantly freeze. I immediately contacted Apple Support. Unfortunately, I was stuck home after knee surgery and couldn't get it to the store, so they remotely checked my computer out and deemed it was "fine". Okay. They informed me about the warranty, yadda yadda.
    So the problems continued, I re-contacted them and they instructed me to take it in for service as soon as I could. I had to wait a bit for my knee to heal up before I could get myself over to the mall. I went, they ran some tests and also declared everything was fine. By this point, my computer was routinely crashing, failing to start up properly, and started just doing.. strange things. They recommended I back all my photos up to an external HD (which I did), bring it back another time and have them completely wipe and reset it. Did that about 3-4 weeks ago.
    I've essentially left everything alone besides putting some of my photos back on from the external HD. Not long after they reset it, it's back to doing all sorts of crazy things. I haven't even been able to use this thing besides being a thousand dollar Facebook and email machine.... try and do anything else and it crashes or freezes. I can't even use iPhoto to edit photos because it immediately locks up and I sit there for 5 minutes per photo watching the dang pinwheel go round and round. Now the computer overheats and the mousepad has become possessed. I've started recording some of the bizarre things it does, and showed them at the Apple store and just get a "hmmm..." from them... I can be sitting here watching Netflix and besides barely loading half the time, the mouse just spazzes out and goes all over the screen clicking on things. Trying to type this out is already a nightmare because the mouse just shoots all over the place, clicks on things, highlights things, erases things and goes over to the other dashboard screen... so I'm constantly having to sit here clicking ESC to come back to where I was. The brightness will change from time to time too, and the plugging in/unpluging the power adapter instantly sends the computer into a frenzy (yes, I am using the charger that came with the computer, and it is plugged into a surge protector). When I try to regain control of the mouse, it still shoots all over the place and clicks on things.
    I don't know what to do. I've deleted everything, reset everything, put on a firewall, etc. I tried to boot in Safe Mode and it won't work. The computer has a mind of its own. I think there has got to be some sort of problem with the logic board, I don't know what else it could be. I find myself having to hold down the power button to shut it down because it absolutely refuses to shut down if I click on the shut down option on screen.. it pretty much just tells me NOPE.
    Please help. The Apple Store/Support said there is nothing more they can do for me because my family apparently purchased it through Best Buy, so they said they don't cover things bought through 3rd party. I wasn't aware of it and not sure if I should try going through Best Buy? I am on the other side of the state from my family now, and none of them are particularly gifted with computers, so not sure if how I would get the receipt from them if that's what I need for Besy Buy, or do I just go there ? I've never dealt with Besy Buy before, but can only imagine how awful that's going to be....
    Thanks so much.

    Thank you for your reply. I figured I had the one year Apple care warranty regardless, but when I expressed wanting the laptop to be replaced since it seemed defective out of the box, they told me it was pretty much my problem to go deal with Best Buy and do an exchange through them. My last MacBook really had no major issues until it died after 5 years.. very disappointed in how Apple has been handling it this time around. I have another Genius Bar appointment for this Thursday, I guess I will try yet again to see if they can make this right.

  • My Airport wireless is working for my two MacBook Pros and my daughter's iPod, but our iPad, Iphone and other iPod all say they need to set up an Airport Base Station but do not have the proper software.  I'm not sure what to do to remedy this situation.

    My Airport wireless is working for my two MacBook Pros and my daughter's iPod, but our iPad, Iphone and other iPod all say they need to set up an Airport Base Station but do not have the proper software.  I'm not sure what to do to remedy this situation.

    This might sound like a silly question, but are you sure the iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch etc.) are still trying to connect to the same network from your own Airport router, as the MacBook Pros are? If you tap Settings on them, is the network name next to where it says Wi-Fi, the right one?
    I've got a weird feeling that either in the past couple of days, a neighbour got an Airport device and hasn't set it up yet (causing your iOS devices to try to help), or that perhaps there's an issue with your Airport router and they're noticing it and trying to help out, while for whatever reason, Airport Utility isn't opening itself on the MacBook Pros like it normally should if there's a problem.
    If you open Airport Utility on one of the MacBook Pros, does it report any problems with your Airport device, and can you view/edit the settings on it?

  • LCM - 11.1.2.3 - Not sure if bug or not

    Hi,
    We perform all LCM exports of an entire application that is Classic not EPMA.    On the target server we create a data source with same name as source.  We perform all the imports and there are no errors in any step.  We validate the various artifacts to make sure they migrated.  We start comparing the outlines and in the source outline the YearTotal member is Dynamic Calc.  After migrating the target outline is 'Store Data' for YearTotal.   I checked the source in Manage Dimensions to make sure it was Dynamic Calc and nobody modified the .otl directly.
    Does anyone know if this is a know issue with LCM or should we be logging yet another ticket?
    Thanks.  I have no access to try and look this up.

    The LCM export .csv file shows 'dynamic calc'.   I manually changed it to 'Label Only', refreshed.  I then re-imported the same export that clearly shows 'dynamic calc' and it didn't change it.  Hmm....  Has to be a bug I think.  But not sure if it's already on Oracle's radar.
