Photoshop & iPhoto 6 Users.../Initial response to Dual Core
Helpful hint...Go to your preferences in iPhoto and I think under the "general" preference tab, you can tell iPhoto which application you want to edit photos in.
I selected Photoshop, since we merely use iPhoto to store pictures somewhere. iPhoto 6 disabled the "old" method of dragging the thumbnail from iphoto onto the desktop or photoshop icon on the dock. However, this new method allows you to doubleclick the image in the iphoto screen and it will automatically launch Photoshop. No dragging or dropping necessary. It took us a good 15 mins to figure out though.
We just purchased this machine last night...we are still testing at this point; we 're going to be using Rosetta a fair amount, mostly for photoshop and illustrator (possibly freehand...don't ask). I won't even bother trying video editing on the machine until Final Cut Studio is released in binary mode. A few speed chokes when launching photoshop and the FrontRow did respond slowly, but in either case it's still going faster than the eMac 1GB/1.0 ghz machine we had in its place. Just can't wait till most the design applications come up to speed with the Universal thing.

I'm sorry to hear of your grief with the printer, and I'm afraid I have no fix for it. However, you might consider trying Portraits and Prints as a workaround.
It's a handy app with more printing options than iPhoto, including placing more than one pic ona page etc., and it may not have the problems that iPhoto does with the Printer.
You can drag and drop photos from iPhoto to P&P (where it will make copies, you can trash the copies after if you wish) so it might make that part easier.
You can download an copy of P&P from here

Finally, if you find no luck here, you could try post your issue on http://www.macintouch.com

I would like to buy a Macbook Pro and it would be my first Mac device. I have selected this model MGX82HN/A MB PRO DUAL CORE i5 2.6GHZ/8 GB RAM/256 GB SSD/ Iris Graphics device. Please advice whether it would suffice a normal user who works in a management consulting industry with project presentation related software in work ? Thanks.

Not only would it be safe but less expensive as well. The tray loaders are deemed to be the most reliable. Apple does not support Blueray so avoid that.

Dual-core or Quad-core for Premiere, After Effects, and Photoshop CS4?
We are planning to purchase around 25 computers for a computer lab for working with CS4 Production Premium at the high school level. Mainly Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Photoshop. Our budget is, unfortunately, a mere $550-$625 per machine (just the tower though, we have monitors). I've already established that a 64-bit operating system makes a significant difference in the performance, even though Photoshop is the only 64-bit application, and I'm now hung up on whether or not it's worth the cost of a quad-core processor over a dual-core.
I'm discovering the different hardware needs for each application, so I'm trying to find an economic balance that will give me the best performance per buck. It seems that Premiere benefits significantly from more cores (we're editing 1440x1080 AVCHD), and this article over at Tom's Hardware has convinced me that I don't want to compromise with a hyperthreaded dual-core for After Effects.
I'm also struggling with what part the graphics card plays in the mix. Which applications lean on the graphics card, and will it make much difference as long as I meet the requirements (OpenGL 2.0, Shader Model 3.0, Direct3D 10, and 256 Mb Ram)?
I understand I will need to settle for less-than-awesome with my budget, but I'm already making sacrifices to get the number to $625. I would like to make sure that those sacrifices will be worth it for a quad-core system.I think I may have answered my own question by looking at these charts over at Tom's Hardware:
http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/2009-desktop-cpu-charts-update-1/Adobe-Premiere-Pro-CS4 ,1404.html
http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/2009-desktop-cpu-charts-update-1/Adobe-Photoshop-CS-4,1 387.html
http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/desktop-cpu-charts-2010/Video-Editing-Adobe-After-Effec ts-CS5,2427.html
I think that the jump to the quad core in Premiere Pro is worth it, even if I don't see as large of an improvement in Photoshop or After Effects. I am still interested in the role of the graphics card in the mix if anyone can shed some light on that. Will an integrated graphics card (like an Intel GMA x4500 or Radeon HD4200) suffice or will I need an actual graphics card to realize the benefits?

My Mac has Operative System MAC OS X Version 10.6.8,processor 2x2.66Ghz Dual core Intel Xeon. Is this compatible with Photoshop 5.5 or 5 and how can I get it in Bogotá, Colombia or can I download it ?
CS5 and CS5.5 are no longer sold. You can either buy CS6 or the subscription to CC. System requirements | Photoshop

Dual Core, but just one recognized [SOLVED]
In the last days I had problems with my computer just going off randomly after some time... As I found out the CPU fan was too loose... Now I somehow fastened it so it seems to work normally now.
Today I noticed (I'm not sure whether it's now the first time or I just didn't see it) that on booting I see just one Arch logo, although I have a Dual Core processor and normally there are 2 logos... I checked whether GRUB has the option nosmp set which was not the case. cat /proc/cpuinfo gave me just one core.. Then I tried to boot the arch live cd (the 2008.06) and cpuinfo had both there!
The BIOS says that there are still 2 as well... so my first idea, that one core is broken because of overheating seems to be wrong, it's impossible that just one core breaks, doesn't it?
So my question is - how do I get my core to be recognized again? I have the new 2.6.29 kernel.. could this be the problem?
My second question is - the information about launching daemons on booting appears AFTER showing the login prompt (I login via tty) [EDIT: This had to do with the OpenNTPD daemon...]

Best method to go from iMac G4 to iMac G5 dual core
I'm struggling on how best to migrate from my old iMac G4 to a new iMac G5 dual core. I'd happily use the transfer data function at initial set up but wonder if I will be transferring "problems" from the old machine to the new. Is a clean install of all applications, preferences, data, etc. the best way to go? I have CDs for most of my applications, but not some of my shareware stuff. Are there any downsides to the transfer data route? Can I move applications for which I don't have a CD any other way?
iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)I would use the Migration Assistant and let it go at that for all my personal files. In the case of applications I would install them directly from the CD's rather than try and copy them. If I was using any applications that I had downloaded, I would just re download them.
Now, some things to make sure of.
1. Make sure that the software you install is compatible. Even if you just upgrading from a G-4 to a G-5 there are some applications which may need updating. If it is an Intel dual core then you need to check to see if a universal version is available or if it is something that will run under rosetta, if that solution works for you.
2. Make a complete backup of all your personal files and of course any itunes you have, anything in iPhoto that you have or anything else that cannot be replaced. Things can go wrong!! It may not be a big deal to lose a song you ripped from one of your CD's but it can be an issue if it was a song you purchased from iTunes Music Store so make a backup. If you use Quicken by all means back up your data files. If you use Entourage for mail make sure to back up its database.
If you have applications that you don't have the CD for you can try to copy them from one to the other but sometimes that does not work. There may be files installed for that application that you don't know about. All you can do is try.
Good Luck and I hope you enjoy your new Mac!! -
Does dual-core iPad 2 mean the next update will make iPad 1 too slow?
Having rendered my old iPhone 3G useless by updating it to iOS4, I'm really wondering if one of the next few updates to iOS will render my iPad 1 too slow to use.
One of the most appealing things about the iPad is how quick and snappy it is to respond. If that slows down it will ruin the user experience.
Spending $499 on a new iPad every April is also not sustainable -- and will not happen.
I encourage Apple to make dam sure the iPad is not obsolete in the wake of two A5 processors on iPad 2."There is more RAM and developers will take advantage of that, but that will just make their apps run faster on the iPad 2, but not any slower on ours."
That will make existing apps run faster on iPad 2. But those apps get updated, become more complex to take advantage of the extra ram and cpu, and then you have an updated app that runs about half as fast as it used to before you just upgraded it.
I know, you can't stop progress. But geez, I finally bought a case for this one in December!
Also, FWIW, the iPhone 4 has 512MB ram whereas iPad1 has only 256. I'm betting in two months if you don't have 512MBs RAM on whatever device you're using, it's gonna be slower than you were used to.
I guess it makes sense... At this point speed is becoming irrelevant on PCs. They're all fast enough. So the speed race moves to the mobile market to keep us buying every year. My 1.6GHz Core2Duo Dell laptop is plenty fast and it's about 5 years old. Same with the 2Ghz Core2Duo iMac. Now, the dual-core G5 I'm typing this on is having major speed issues -- for the same reason I'm discussing the iPad. When my G5 came out we were on Adobe CS2. Now it's CS5, and I'm only on CS4 -- but it's designed for the latest greatest hardware. My computer's not any slower, but my Photoshop sure as heck is. And same with everything else that's been updated over the last 5 years. And I can't even run the latest Safari. Dam IT dept! Give me a new Mac! -
G5 Dual Core 10.4 - Finally a PCIe eSATA card that works!
Happy Holidays!
I recently posted a few queries/complaints about FirmTek's PCIe cards used in an older Dual Core 2.0. Unfortunately my personal experience has not been a good one. Poor communication and initial refusal of RMA; the list is lengthy. After months of tedious thorough testing, I can only conclude the drivers on their web site, are incompatible with 10.4.11. But thanx to OWC, and DAT Optic, I finally found a PCIe eSATA card that works. In fact I'm using a DAT Optic 2 port card and 4 port card in total harmony with each other.
In my opinion, the SeriTek 2ME4-E-4 design emphasis was probably geared more toward use in a Mac Pro with 10.5 and above. After two system formats, and the failure of two different FirmTek PCIe cards, that was enough for me.
Final success came with; http://eshop.macsales.com/item/DAT+Optic/ESATAPCIE21B/ (and) http://eshop.macsales.com/item/DAT%20Optic/ESATAPCIE8/
One BIG advantage with DAT Optic are the numerous readily available drivers directly from the Silicon Image web site. And their tech support is first class.
All of this is good news for users of older Power Mac G5's.
Enjoy!
MikeHi Chris
Whatever the situation was with 10.4.10, or 10.4.11, I had to conclude that FirmTek's drivers were not doing the job for 10.4.11 - The condescending technician was basically ignoring my remark that this card just doesn't work with my set up. Neither could their 2 port card work.
I had to argue my point repeatedly, (shouldn't have to do that).
In any event, I'm rolling pretty good with these 2 bay OWC clearance eSATA enclosures, (got 4 of them). No bridge, just good ole eSATA connections. Sure took long enough to get to this place.
Happy Holidays

I5 vs i7, dual-core vs quad, GHz, GHz, GHz -- what does it all mean?
I'm looking at the mac mini configurations, and comparing with iMac configurations. I'm trying to argue we should go the mini route. I want this to be true for a couple of reasons:
The users are doing page layout or are artists. It's really nice for them to have a BIG screen, but it would be nice to be able to get nice screens and then not replace them as frequently as we replace cpus.
Machines get "handed down" from users who need lots of cpu and memory to users who don't need that so much. Those users might not need all that screen real estate, either, so in the computer "musical chairs" it would make more sense for people to keep the monitor that fits their work needs.
Eventually machines end up running serverish tasks back here in the computer room. (We have a collection of junk back here and it's awesome how well it works. We just retired our last G3 tower a few weeks ago, and we've got lots of old G4s and G5s, too.) Cast-off minis are great for us -- just stack them up and plug them into a kvm switch. Towers are fine, too. But a bunch of 20" or 21.5" iMacs? Yikes!
But looking at the minis, they appear to be underpowered next to the iMacs. The mid-price mini can be ordered with an i7 but it's only dual core not quad. The GHz on the cpus is lower. Is there something I'm missing here? (Like stuffing memory into the machine is more important than the cpu, or that the extra cores aren't going to do any good for my users running InDesign...)
So, help me out here -- how do I justify the mini? It just doesn't seem to have quite the same horsepower as what should be an "equivalent" iMac, at least on paper.The bottom line depends on what your most intensive
application is. For instance, Photoshop will actually
perform better on a 2.7 dualcore that a 2.0 quad core.
Most of it's operations a singlethreaded (only doing one
thing at a time). But as an example, Hanbrake, which is
a video conversion application, will run 2 to 4 times faster
on a 2.0 quad core vs. 2.7 dual core.
The 2011 Macbook Pro line uses similar processors and
there are many benchmark reports for them.
The other item is graphics rendering. If you have graphics
intensive applications that are graphics chip dependent,
then you will want to opt for the Mini with the discrete
graphics option vs. the integrated Intel option. -
Mac mini Dual core vs. G4 500MHz Dual tower w/ non native applications
I have a Power Mac G4, Dual 500MHz. I wanted to upgrade to the G5 tower, but am getting concerned that I will be buying an obsolete computer as Apple migrates to Intel. I use Microsoft Office and Adobe's Creative Suite 2 (CS2) primarily on my G4 and am really tired of the slow performance. I was thinking of buying the new Mac mini dual core and add an additional 7200 RPM external Hard Drive to improve the drive performance until the new Intel towers come out. I know that the applications I use are not written for the Intel processor. Does anyone know how well these applications perform on the Intel mini vs. my old old G4?
In a year or so, there will probably still be more PPC Mac users than Intel ones, and I doubt that any smart company will end support for PPC Macs that early. Apple provided developers with a way to create Universal Binaires for two reasons : to avoid the confusion introduced by two versions (PPC & Intel) of the same app, and to force (i.e. strongly encourage) developers to support both platforms for quite some time.
There's no doubt that a PowerMac G5 will run Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5), and probably the following version too. CS3 will be Universal, and will thus run at full speed on both PowerPC and Intel-based macs, and there's a chance that CS4 could be Universal too. If you buy a PowerMac now, it probably won't be outdated before three years or more.
While the Intel Core Duo is much faster than a G4 and quite a bit faster than a single G5, I think that a Dual G5 could be about as fast as they are (maybe a bit slower "per-gigahertz", but Core Duos don't reach 2.3/2.5 Ghz yet anyway) ...
Regarding the fact that Office runs well under Rosetta but not CS2, that's because CS2 is a much more demanding suite of applications, which probably features a lot of AltiVec code (software sepcifically optimized for the G4/G5's Velocity Engine - which wasn't originally supported by Rosetta and now is, but translating PPC code into Intel x86 isn't fast, so translating code that's supposed to run very close to the processor itself must cause an even grater performance loss). Even though Photoshop probably won't run slower than on your dual 500 Mhz, it probably won't run much faster, so if you don't want to get a PPC Mac, then I suggest that you keep your G4 for now and wait until Apple releases the next generation of PowerMacs.
On the other hand, one of the reasons why your G4 is slow with Photoshop could be because you don't have enough RAM. Most people who have used the latest version consider that 512 MB is a minimum, and 1 or 2 GB are recommended. If you only have 256 MB or so in your Mac, why don't you just add some memory and wait until the next PowerMacs ? -
I have downloaded 10.5.8 combo several times and cannot get it to install because the disc won't mount or the installation gets hung up after restart. My current os is 10.5.1, and I am trying to upgrade to snow leopard. This is on a dual core macbook pro.
You don't need to update to Leopard 10.5.8 unless you want to keep Leopard. Upgrading to Snow Leopard requires that your purchase the retail install disk.
The following covers Leopard:
Some general advice on updating:
It is worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first to an external hard disk. Ideally you should always have a bootable clone of your system that enables you to revert to the previous pre-update state.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site.
The Combo updater of Leopard 10.5.8 can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
Full details about the 10.5.8 update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3606
More information on using Software Updater here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.5.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications and turn off energy saving and screensaver.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious! In fact a second restart can be recommended.
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a week or two while you regularly check their websites for updates.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
[b]If you are updating Safari (or just have):[/b]
Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very [i]first[/i] thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari.
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party add-on.
Additional tips on software installation here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
/Library/InputManagers
~/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

I am looking at buying a MacBook Air over the Pro mainly for the 12 hour battery. Just wondering if battery is compromised by upgrading to 8mb and upgrading to I7 Intel dual core. I am not very tech savvy so apologies if dumb question
If both computers were configured identically, then they would both lose the same amount of battery life with respect to the same starting configuration - comparing apple to apples. I don't know how much the added RAM, etc. would reduce battery life, but it would be less for both models.
Battery life is a tricky subject because most mfgr.s like to suggest as long a life as possible, but often do so under a set of conditions that are not common to most users. Apple is no different. Their computers do have good battery life, however. But not likely as long as what is in the ads for the typical user. -
Error while runing diadem asynchronous script from labview on dual core processor
Urgent need of some help / advice here!
Single core runs fine... dual core produces error: Error in <XYaxis.vbs> (line: 17, column: 1): Error while opening object. The object currently open has no subobjects. Forgotten ObjClose?
The main software built in labview used for daq and analysis generates a PDF report on completion of a test, utilising diadem. For this I use the diadem express vi in labview to generate a multi page report, whereby I use for loop to iterate an array of channels for each page. This for loop has a shift register too. After each page I run a script to adjust a few parameters like linear/log, begin/end and line thickness using the diadem connectivity tookit. See script below:
Call GraphObjOpen("2D-Axis1")
Call GraphObjOpen("2DXAxis8_1")
D2AxisXDivMode = "linear"
D2AxisXScaleType = "begin/end manual"
D2AxisXBegin = 20
D2AxisXEnd = 20000
Call GraphObjClose("2DXAxis8_1")
Call GraphObjOpen("2DYAxis8_1")
D2AxisYDivMode = "linear"
D2AxisYScaleType = "complete automatic"
D2AxisYBegin = 0
D2AxisYEnd = 0
Call GraphObjClose("2DYAxis8_1")
FOR c = 1 TO CurveNoMax
If D2CurveObj(c) = "" Then Exit For ' c
Call GraphObjOpen(D2CurveObj(c))
D2CurveLineWidth = 0.75
Call GraphObjClose(D2CurveObj(c))
NEXT ' c
Call GraphObjClose("2D-Axis1")
There is also a screenshot of the vi: (script file is generated by the Dscript vi and saved to disk. then path is passed to the diadem script vi.)
What I find is, after the first report page is complete in diadem the second page ALWAYS shows the error as shown at the top. However, on my P4 laptop with single core (no hyperthreading) its runs FINE EVERY TIME with any given number of channels/pages in the report.
My current chain of thought is that the superfast dual core is doing something in parallel therefore not waiting for the previous page to complete or finish closing its object!? however, in my for loop I use a shift register as named before, surely this kind of loop cannot be divided over more cores/parallel threads? as it has to wait for the response of the previous.!?!? Im running LV 8.6 on WinXP for this project and I didnt even think multicore processing for for loops is included in this version.
The other thing is... this script used to run fine on the dual core until I added the last part that uses a for loop to get every line of the graph to be the thinkness I need. Is this for loop the culprit? Can I stop it from executing over multiple cores/threads? I read a post saying that from diadem 8 there was multi core support. this triggered my doubt
As always any comments are most appreciated
AL
:. LV2010 SP1 ... W7 .:
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hi Al,
I have a theory, but only you can test it. In your VI screenshot, you have the boolean input for the DIAdem Execute Script.vi set to asynchronous=TRUE. My theory says that if you change that boolean (and all others like it) to asynchrous=FALSE that the error will not occur on the multicore computer. The other thing you could try would be to consolidate all REPORT commands that pertain to one REPORT page into a single ActiveX call to DIAdem. In the screenshot below you have at least 2 separate VIs calling DIAdem, so that's at least 2 separate ActiveX calls for one REPORT sheet.
Here's what I think is going on. On a multicore computer there is the potential for different ActiveX commands from LV to DIAdem to execute on different cores, which may result in a timing problem on the DIAdem side. DIAdem 11.x and earlier runs exclusively on 1 CPU, so the incoming ActiveX commands should be sequenced correctly by DIAdem's ActiveX to-do list. Theoretically DIAdem should serialize all the incoming ActiveX commands (regardless of which CPU processed them) in the order that they arrived at the DIAdem ActiveX server(s). On the sending side, LabVIEW's dataflow execution should theoretically guarantee that all the ActiveX requests are being sent in the correct order. But it is theoretically possible that the operating system's ActiveX processing queue might not send all the ActiveX commands to DIAdem in the order that it receives them from LabVIEW-- IF YOU'VE SELECTED ASYNCHRONOUS PROCESSING.
See if these clues help,

4GB memory on new MacBook Pro Retina 13 with 2.4GHz dual core i5 processor &128GB flash storage
Hello,
I'm completely new to the mac world but I'm fed up with pc's and all the insanity with processor problems, viruses, etc. I'm seriously looking at replacing my HP laptop with the new MacBook Pro Retina 13 with 2.4GHz dual core i5 processor, 4GB memory (RAM) & 128GB flash storage, OS X Mavericks (not sure which version). My concern is whether this will be reliably & consistantly fast & smooth both in desktop apps & internet use. I don't need it to do somersaults or anything too advanced. I would mostly be using Pages & spreadsheet apps & internet. It would double as my daughter's computer for cyber school so it's crucial that it runs quickly & efficiently. If she can't complete everything on time or log in to her online sessions because of a computer issue we'll be up a creek without a paddle since this particular cyber school's tech department is still working off of pc's running Windows XP. My father, thus far a pc user, thought I should consider moving up to 8GB memory but I was hoping that with flash storage being faster, I would be able to avoid the extra $100 for the upgrade to 8GB. My biggest fear is finding myself as frustrated & angry as I am now with all of my pc's, ready to take a sledge hammer to them because they take forever to boot, launch apps, internet or do just about anything (that is if they're even fuctioning at all- not joking). Does anyone have any advice or input? Thanks!!
P.s. On Apple's site I found a refurbished late 2013 model of the MacBook Pro Retina 13 with all of the same specs as listed above (4GB, not 8GB), running OS X (doesn't say which one) but for a bit less than a brand new one. Is this the same model as what they're currently selling new in their store or did they just upgrade everything to match what is being offered in the current "new" model? I realize this may be a dumb question but I can't seem to find anything online indicated that Apple has released a model newer than what was released late last year (October 2013, I believe), except that the model released then came with SSD storage instead of flash.No computer is fault free but Apple MBPs have a good track record. In those cases where problems do arise, Apple has the best support in the industry.
A MBP with 4 GB RAM with the SSD storage should be adequate for your needs.

The latest MBP models came out in October 2013, so it will be the same, with the same warranty and telephone support. The difference will be that the price will be less and it will be delivered in a plain white box.
I have purchased three MBPs from the refurbished section. I have never been able to detect any cosmetic differences and will go that route again.
Ciao.
