Pc to mac change and what a mess
I've had my iPod for quite some time and have purchased thousands of dollars of music from itunes. I bought an iMac on Friday and when I went thru the set up it gave me a .mac address and said it would change my itunes to that. That made me nervous but I tried to go back and was not able too.
Now I just signed into iTunes and when I sign in with the new .mac name it shows I have NO PURCHASED music, tv shows or movies.
When I go back and use my old sign in name that I used with my PC that shows NOTHING either, no music, tv shows, movies, podcasts.
Again I had thousands of dollars worth of music. Can I get it back some how? I still have it on my iPod but I can't plug it into iTunes now because it will erase it all!!
Help!
Susan
i'm the person who wrote the above post. We have more problems.....
My daughter has her own iPod and she went to iTunes on her PC and her iTunes account is totally blank too. Not a single song in it. Now our accounts are not related in any way accept for the credit card number! (and there is nothing wrong with that either, all this music was purchased over the course of a few years at least. I have no idea why this happened however her account was last used 3 2 days ago and it was fine but that was prior to me buying and registering this new iMac.
What a mess, I got my old iPod which has some music on it and plugged it into my Mac to see if I could transfer the music on it to my blank iTunes some how but I can't do that either as it says it was formatted by a PC and I can't update it on a Mac.
So many problems, but really I just want my music back.

What is the best way to run windows on my Mac? What are the pitfalls/
If you need Windows as your main operating system you would be better off buying a Real Windows PC.
Running windows on a Mac is always a compromise. Whether in a Boot Camp partition or in a Virtual Machine.
In boot camp you can't easily Re-Partition and or Re-Size the drive it is installed on. You can't use both graphics cards as Apple has limited Windows to use the discrete graphics only, that is if your mac has 2 graphics cards (15" MBPs), which will shorten the battery run time in Windows.
The trackpad only has limited functions in Windows, less then is available on the Mac side and a real Windows PC. -

Hello, I bought a used mac pro from a guy that said it was a 3.1. It runs great and when I go to "About this Mac" and then to "More info" and look at the hardware info, it says that it is indeed a 3,1. However, the serial number sticker on the back says it's a 2.8! Any insights into that? I'm very new to Mac Pro desktops and I just want to make sure I didn't get ripped off.
My second question. The machine came with the standard X2 quad 2.88 GHz processor, 8gb of Ram, and a Radeon 2200 graphics card. I bought an ATI Radeon HD 4870 from a guy on craigslist but he didn't have the power cables for it. He said it wasn't a big deal and after I did some research it looks like I need some PCIE power connectors. The card takes two, 6 pin power cables. My question is where do I plug them in on the logic board? Should it be a 6 pin plug in also meaning I want a 6pin to 6pin cable like this (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812200975&nm_mc=KNC-Google Adwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-Internal+Power+Cables-_-N82E16812200975 &gclid=CMW8u4Po5LUCFcdDMgodx2AAyA).
So yeah, the simplest answer I'm looking for is what cables do i need to power my ATI Radeon 4870 in my Mac Pro? Another way to answer that I guess would be to explain to me the way my power supply works in my mac pro.
Thanks!
MickeyThat is an 8-pin. And I just posted Amazon link to 6-pin in another graphic card upgrade thread minutes ago.
And it had a ATI 2600XT. good thing you replaced it.
10.6.8 tends to run best but try - andkeep 10.8.x and see how it goes. Also more options later in graphic cards.
Call Apple and have them check the serial number and they can provide for small $20?fee the OEM DVDs it shipped with (10.5.x) and Apple Hardware Test. They can also sell 10.6.3 DVD
I would have looked for the ATI 5770, better support, the 4870 lacks some ML (Mountain Lion) support for OpenCL.

What happened to CS6 upgrade for Mac? and what think of subscription?
It was usually $200 or so on Amazon and now it's gone.
What do people think of this subscription thing? It seems just like a way for Adobe to extract more money out of us. Am I wrong?kevin4545 wrote:

You download and install the software on your computer, same as you've always done. The software runs on your computer, same as it's always done.

please help
Install MS Windows as a Virtual Machine guest operating system on your Mac. You will want a minimum of 8GB memory. Popular VM are VirtualBox, Parallels, and VMware. Once this is done, you can download the Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 development environment into WIndows 7 in the VM, and use it there.

OK. In a nutshell.
I am getting render times (converting to H.264 for web, 8000kbps, 720x1280) of about 25 minutes with my current Macbook Pro - 4GB ram. Without doing anything else with the machine.

Am I going to buy myself much time?
Secondly I would like to keep my existing MacBook Pro. Installed on this machine I have FCP 6. I regulary edit as I own a produciton company. I cannot upgrade to Lion as it does not support FCP 6.
I could upgrade to FCP 7 (which would cost a fortune and still would only provide one licence) or FCP 10. The later is attractive, but looking at Apple's Specs, I meet all the specs on my MacBook bar the graphics card. I have a GL Graphics Card (GeForce 8600M GT) but for some reason this is excluded from the list of acceptable graphic cards.
So...the possibilities are:
A. Get a iMac. Downgrade it to Snow Leopard. Back up from my Time Machine so FCP is now on both machines. Is this even possible? Since the license will only cover one machine?
B. Get a iMac. Keep as Lion and buy FCP 10. Upgrade MacBook to Lion, but partition the drive with Snow Leopard so I can still have FCP 6. Download FCP 10 to my MacBook and hope it works even though my graphics card is not supported (I hear it might). How do I even get FCP 10 on my MacBook? Will it tell me I cannot install it because it recognises I don't have the right graphics card?
C. Get a MacBook Pro. Do all the above, but if it doesn't work, sell my old MacBook Pro.
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.The warranty will be valid within one year from the original date of purchase. this is the date that the device was purchased either from apple or an apple authorized reseller.
you are able to purchace the applecare protection plan within one year of the original date of purchase as well, provinding there is no accidental damage to the device.

Hi all.
I updated my Arc S to 4.0.4 from 4.0.3 and i would like to share the issues and new features and would love to see you all share your view as well.
Issues i had with 4.0.3
HD video rec was choppy and was skipping frames
LED Notification not working fro missed call but was working fine for everything else.
Dailer was taking long (3-5 sec) to load.
Issues fixed in 4.0.4 update
NONE
HD video recording is a bit better than 4.0.3 but nowhere close to the smoothness on 2.3.4
LED notification now works for missed call but not working for everything else.
Dailer still takes long to load.
New issues in 4.0.4
The Home launcher has issues when resizing widgets. The widgets just dissappears and only the outline stays and when you try resizing you can see widget comes and goes in an ugly way. I am using a custom launcher (Apex Launcher) but i would like sony to fix this.
Otherthan all these they might have been some porformance improvent and minor bug fixes in Android OS which i hardly notice.
This is my review, i would like to know how other who updated from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 feel about the update.
Thanksi feel a huge difference in performance in 4.0.4. It is running as fast as 2.3.4. My contact opens faster than GB.
only drawback the video recording is choppy but it goes by turning image stabiliser off.

New Mac Pro and LED cinema display
Sorry if this has been asked before, I tried searching for it but none of the topics answered my question specifically enough.
I have a 24" Apple LED Cinema Display purchased less than a year ago. Will it connect to a new Mac Pro and what happens to the power cable that's attached to the LED display?I have a 24" Apple LED Cinema Display purchased less than a year ago. Will it connect to a new Mac Pro
Yes. All the standard cards that come in the Mac Pro have one Mini DisplayPort. The 24"LED display will plug into that.
and what happens to the power cable that's attached to the LED display?
It is not used if you don't have a MacBook. -
I want to clone an internal windows 7 disk to a larger disk in my G5 Pro (2009) 2.93. Would I have to do it from the Windows side or can I do it from the mac side, and what software works for cloning if anyone knows.
thorpugWe don't mix names G5 (IBM, PowerMac) and Mac Pro (Intel)
Depends what you actually are doing.
Do both Mac and Windows reside on same or separate drives?
For running a Mac utility, then WinClone 4 $39
Review was on http://www.macwindows.com two weeks ago
For Windows on its own drive and disk to disk, then Paragon HDM 12 is best.
You should visit Paragon, for imaging and cloning Windows as well as HFS+ drivers.

What do I have to do in creating a Keynote presentation on my MAC so that when I send it to my iPad, I don't have to re-do the presentation all over again as the fonts have changed, sizing has changed and everything is basically a mess?
I have downloaded many of my previous Keynote presentation into my new ipad mini and not ONE has opened properly
Rather defeats the purpose of icloud, synching, Keynote on IOS etc doesn't it?
Any tips anyone?
Cheers
PhilipThanks for this Gary. Much appreciated. Will help with future ones.
Still a bit like using keynote in 'safe mode' and very limiting.
If anyone produces an 'auto convert' app that will save me the work of fixing existing presentations slide by slide, I'm buying it :-)
Thanks again -

Listing order and dates of my photos have all changed and now it is a mess in my photo library! I tried to list them again by date, but it didn't fix the problem. What to do?
If your preferences keep getting messed up try this: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
