Place LR on MacBook Pro & Win XP PC?

I just purchased a new MacBook Pro and would like to place my copy of Light Room on it as well as on the XP PC. Any suggestions - I see in my list of registered products it is a "multiple" platform product.
Would like to update as well, thanks, Tommy

If you already have Lightroom 3 then go ahead and install it on your MacBook Pro (in addition to your existing Win XP install).
You're entitled to install it on a maximum of 2 computers which can be any mix of Mac or Windows: Mac/Mac or Win/Win or Mac/Win.
If you're thinking of updating to Lightroom 4 then bear in mind that LR4 does not support or run on Windows XP - an Adobe design decision (LR3 is OK on Win XP).

Is your MacBook Pro a Retina model? If so, my understanding is that Lightroom 4 is not yet optimised for HiDPI displays such as Retina.

Macbook Pro Win 7 x64

Hi, I have recently bought a MacBook Pro 2009 from a mate who sold it as faulty. The Apple store said it was a faulty Logic Board but couldn't say for certain what the problem was. Having experience with PCs I tried putting an old HDD in to test if it
would work and it did. So I bought an SSD and installed Win 7 via Bootcamp.
Last night I upgraded OSX to 10.9.4 Mavericks which installed okay, then I installed the upgrade to 10.9.5 and left it running when I went to work. When I got home I found the Mac had frozen at the login screen with a spinning multi-coloured wheel in the
top left corner but the machine was unresponsive so I had to hold the power button down for 4 seconds to turn it off. After I restarted the update installed (again) successfully.
In Win 7 here is the hardware specs of my Mac:
System Manufacturer Apple Inc.
System Model MacBookPro5,5
System Type x64-based PC
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     P7550 @ 2.26GHz, 2261 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 2 Logical Processor(s)
BIOS Version/Date Apple Inc. MBP55.88Z.00AC.B03.0906151708, 15/06/2009
Having heard OSX was rock solid I booted into Win 7 x64 and looked through the event logs and found these 2 errors which seem to be hardware related:

could somebody point me in the right direction as to how to resolve these issues? My Machine has been upgraded to 8gb ddr3 1333mhz and a 240gb Kingston SSD 6Gbps. I think this version of the Mac only supports 1.5Gbps sata bus, I have downloaded a driver
from apple to upgrade the EFI to install faster storage to the 3.0Gbps but they do not support it so I am unsure if installing it will be a good idea.
Thanks for reading.

Hi,
According to the Event Log:
Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) error related. Generally speaking, this probably caused by Hardware problem. It would be better to contact Apple Service Center for further assitance.

CS5.5 on Macbook Pro (Win or Mac)

I'm a PC user due for major upgrade. Thinking about maybe switching to Mac. Macbook Pro or iMac.
If I switch to Mac I could run Mac version of PPro OR Windows version on Windows with Parallels Desktop.
Any comments/suggestions?
Thanks.

I was pondering this same issue.
Harm's reply is somewhat what I perceive Macs as well....with the exception that I've never thought of any computer as "sexy"... but hey, to each their own.
Pro's -
- You can have Mac and Windows OS's running on one machine. Bootcamp is far better than any other "virtual / emulation" software running Windows.
- Thunderbolt; the speed is impressive...at least on paper. (Eventually, it will make it's way to the Windows world)
Con's -
- No HARDWARE acceleration for MPE in PPro
- iMac HDD has to be replaced with a specific HDD from Apple. You may want to read this: http://blog.macsales.com/10146-apple-further-restricts-upgrade-options-on-new-imacs
- Thunderbolt; it's a first gen technology so use beware!! Connecting external monitors can be a nightmare. Another tidbit of info: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2774718
If your looking for a laptop solution, you may want to have a look at the Sager laptops. Though designed for the hardcore mobile gamer in mind, their specs may suit your editing needs. http://www.sagernotebook.com/
Whatever you decide, have fun with it.

Trackpad macbook pro win xp, trackpad macbook pro win xp

has anyone ever got the trackpad ( magicpad) to work as right click, two fingers. under win xp pro???? If so any help would be appreicated

MDMason, thanks for the response. I don't use Parallels but I will have to try this XP sleep thing when running on batteries.
Last night, I rebooted back into XP and it reported that it had "recovered" from a serious error. I could surf the net with no problems so it appeared XP was working fine (good thing I imaged the Windows partition with Disk Utilities). I closed the MBP lid and let it go to sleep, waited a minute and opened it back up and XP was waiting for me. Then, I closed the lid again and went out to a valentine's dinner with my wife and let it sit for a few hours.
When we got back, I opened the MBP and again, XP was there. I'm not sure what happened but I can't seem to duplicate it.
I'll play some more over the next few days and see what happens.
Thank you,
Gerry

MacBook Pro, Win XP and Sleep

Hey,
I'm not sure if this is the proper topic for my question, but if it's not I will move it.
Anyway, I have a MBP with Core 2 Duo with absolutely NO problems. It works fine and lasts a long time. I also have XP Pro installed via Bootcamp with, again, no problems.
Yesterday morning, I booted into the WinXP partition and did what I needed but then I had to go to work (got to pay for this baby!). So, instead of rebooting into OSX and putting the MBP to sleep from there (which works fine), I thought, humm, let's see if my MBP will sleep booted into XP.
I closed the screen and after a few moments, I got the LED in the latch doing it's standard varying breathing brightness thing so I left for work. BTW, the MBP was connected to external AC power.
Last night, I opened the lid and the MBP was booting into OSX! The login screen popped right up so it finished when I opened it up. Booting into OSX is the default startup but I expected WinXP to be there not OSX starting up.
What's the deal? Does anyone know what a MBP will do when you close the lid booted into WinXP? This is not something I normally do but it sure was unexpected. If anyone has some insight, I would appreciate it.
In the meantime, I will experiment with my computer and see if I can get more details.
Thanks,
Gerry

Data Recovery - Failed HD on 2010 MacBook Pro

Hello, I have had a HD failure, or at least what I believe to be one on my 2010 MacBook Pro. I updated to Mavericks from Snow Leopard in October and everything appeared to run smoothly. 2 days ago I was watching a video in Itunes I my entire system froze, however the mouse was still moveable as was the dock. Rather stupidly, i tried to load a couple of applications, they did eventually load, but were not function able. The pinwheel kept spinning, and trying to move the page windows only resulted in lag. The system then crashed completely, and I had to restart. It would not go past the grey screen with the apple logo.
For the past day I`ve tried on and off everything that I know how to do. PRAM and SMC resets, Apple Hardware disk (which resulted in an issue with one of my memory sticks. I switched them out, ran the test again, and the system simply crashed part way through), and Disk utility. After running Verify and Repair permissions/disk permission in Disk Utility, I received the message relating to an "uncorrectable error" and "This disk cannot be repaired."
I`ve had issue with this machine on and off for nearly the past two years. Disk utility has appeared resolve the issues, but sometime later something else would crop up. Kernal issues have become more and more frequent as have crashes, and I`ve suspected the HD is to blame. Back in Aug 2012 I had the logic board replaced under warranty, due to graphic issues and problems display games/video or other media and lag. This fixed the issue for a few months, then the kernal problems started and I have frequently (every few days) needed to restart and gotten error messages. The machine will no longer start up, and though most of my date is backed up, some of it is not, and I really would like to get it back. The apple logo will appear on screen for 30sec-1min then crash and automatically restarts.
System Info: 15' 2010 MacBook Pro
2.66GHZ i7
5400rpm HD
etc.
Also, I have tried booting up with the "Shift" key held and the following message has appeared multiple times on the grey/apple logo screen:
panic(cpu 2 caller 0xfffff80189cd7d4): "Process 1 exec of /sbn/launched falled, errno 2"0/SourceCache/xnu/xnu-24422.1.72/bsd/kern/kern_exec.c:3836

My primary concern is Data Recovery if possible, then dealing with whatever the issue may be. If the HD is in fact to blame, I can replace it, but I`d really like to get the remain date that is on the drive if possible. Looking through the forums I see that others have had similar issues. I appreciate any help or suggestions that anyone can offer. . Thank you to anyone in advance!

Appfan42,
you’ve now discovered where the value lies in making regular backups — to avoid data loss due to a “single point of failure”. If the data that’s currently only on your hard drive is irretrievable through ordinary means, there is still the possibility of hiring the services of a data recovery company, but their services are typically quite expensive. Should it be necessary for you to purchase a replacement hard drive (or SSD), I’d highly recommend that you also purchase an external hard drive for use as a Time Machine backup destination, so that you can make regular backups, and thus avoid a similar situation at some future date.
That being stated, there is a chance that the problem is due to a faulty internal SATA cable rather than a faulty hard drive. The way to check that would be to purchase either a SATA-to-USB or SATA-to-FireWire adapter or an external disk enclosure, and move your hard disk outside of its usual place within your MacBook Pro. After that, boot into Recovery mode and run Disk Utility from there to verify/repair your drive while it’s external, and see if it will boot normally afterwards. If it behaves itself externally, then that could point to the problem lying with your internal SATA cable; that would also be the right time to perform data recovery and start making regular Time Machine backups.

MacBook Pro vs MacBook Air

I'm going to be getting a Macbook, and its going to be either the air or the pro, and I need some help from people that understand computer peripherals better than me.
Here are the details. They are based on student pricing, with the original price in parentheses.
MacBook Pro * price: $999 (normally $1200)
2.5GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz
4GB 1600MHz memory
500GB 5400-rpm hard drive1
Intel HD Graphics 4000
1280 x 800 pixels
MacBook Air (normally $1100) * 1.3GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor
Turbo Boost up to 2.6GHz
Intel HD Graphics 5000
4GB memory
128GB flash storage
1440 x 900 pixels
MacBook Air advantages
Better graphics (Intel HD graphics 5000 instead of 4000 on the pro)
Flash storage
better screen resolution
MacBook Pro advantages
Faster processer
I'm just not sure how much each of these plays into the speed of the laptop. Do the Intel HD 5000, flash storage, and screen resolution make up for the slower processor or not? The only thing the MacBook Pro wins in is the processor. I'm hoping for an answer from someone who understands the factors well.

I'm a write and I use the MBA. I had a MBP for years that was solid and dependable. But I use my computer primarily for writing books, so I generally use MS Word, Safari, iTunes, Mail, Skype occasionally, and other small programs. I also we web design so I sometimes use Dreamweaver and Photoshop. I've found that the MBA handles everything I need it to brilliantly.
People will tell you that the MBP is faster and that the MBA internals are old tech (specifically the processor), and technically they're right. However, the MBA is optimized for speed. The solid state drive is so much faster than the HDD that comes standard in a MBP at opening programs and loading documents. Unless you're doing video editing or photo editing or any other processor intensive tasks, you more than likely simply will not benefit from the faster processor in a MBP.
Like the other poster said, spend some time at the Apple store playing with both. I got the maxed out 11" with the 128SSD, 4gb RAM and the 1.6GHz processor. There are tricks to keeping your disk space, such as using IMAP for your email if your mail server supports it. That way none of my email resides on my computer, and keeping my video on an external hard drive. My music takes up the lion's share of my disk space (60gb) but after I installed all my programs (keeping my documents on a cloud service and backed up on an HDD) I still have 35gb left.
I spent a couple of months going to the Apple store to play with the machine. I did everything I would conceivably do with it and it performed admirably. In the end, for me, the trade off in portability versus computing power, portability won out.
Good luck.

Best deal for Non-Retina Macbook Pro?

I'm looking to buy a new Macbook Pro (Non-Retina) in the next month or two, and I've narrowed it down to these three options.
http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MacBook-MD101LL-13-3-Inch-VERSION/dp/B0074703CM/ref= zg_bs_16368311_1
http://store.apple.com/us_edu_307542/cart
http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals/mac/macbook_pro/13
Which one of these pages offers me the best bang for my buck? I currently am using a Sony that's about a year old. It has 8 GB of RAM, an I5 2410M at 2.30 GHz, and Intel HD Graphics 3000, It's a 14.4 inch screen. I use it for gaming, watching and streaming movies, word processing and productivity, and internet browsing. I'd prefer to have 8GB of RAM in the new computer.
Looking to keep cost below $1300-$1400

Honestly, I have some money to spend, and I might like to get a new laptop to play with. I've never had a Mac either. Just looking around.
OK. It was just that the one you had seemed like a decent machine already.
The prices seem so close that I would be inclined to go with the refurb i7 / 8GB RAM / 750GB storage model. But all the models have more CPU and disk space than you need for the tasks you listed, except maybe gaming where Macs are usually weak because of the graphics card. But I guess since you had an Intel 3000 graphics card the 4000 isn't a step back.
You can also save money by getting one of the 4GB RAM models and putting in a cheap non-Apple RAM upgrade yourself, ordering it from a place like OWC:
MacBook Pro 2012 upgrades
One note about Apple. I wouldn't buy refurbs from most companies, but the Apple refurb program is top-notch. They are like new, and come with a full warranty. I've had Apple refurbs that were 100% reliable, and "new" models I paid full price for that needed warranty service.

Upgrading late 2010 MacBook Pro

I have a late 2010 MacBook Pro and was wondering if it was possible to take it to an Apple retail store and possibly have it upgraded. I am aware it's a few years old, but I am also aware that they can upgrade new ones in the store, so I was wondering it it was possible to upgrade mine. Is it?

Matrix X2,
based on your initial post, you have a 15-inch Mid 2010 MacBook Pro; there were no Late 2010 MacBook Pro models. Among the Mid 2010 MacBook Pros, only the 2.4 GHz 13-inch model can support 16 GB of RAM, and then only if it runs OS X 10.7.5 or later. Both the RAM and the SSDs can be non-Apple, as long as they meet the requirements* of your MacBook Pro, and both are easily self-installable. Note that you’ll need a T6 Torx screwdriver to take the four T6 Torx screws out of your current HD (which keep it in place within your MacBook Pro) and put them into your SSD.
* — Look at Chapter 3 of the little white User Guide that came with your MacBook Pro, or just look for compatibility with your model of MacBook Pro when shopping around.

I have an Epson printer on a Wifi network. Windows 7 desktop is running the network, and my wife's HP Win 7 laptop prints to it just fine. My MacBook Pro running Yosemite won't detect it, and I do have the latest driver installed. I didn't have a problem when I had a Canon Pixma on the network, but when I replaced it with the Epson nothing seems to work. I go to add a printer to the queue and only the FAX function of the printer shows up - not the WS-4530 print function. Does anyone out there have any suggestions? Please??? :-)

Hi Kelly,
As someone who has to print from my Mac to a networked printer at home all the time, I can certainly understand how frustrating it must be to have that fail to perform as expected. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
OS X Yosemite: Printing troubleshooting
Start with the section titled Check the network.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

I am about to buy a 13" MacBook Pro with 256 GB SSD. I want a Windows partition set up. What size should it be, and can I load Win XP Pro or does it need to be Win 7 or 8?

You can use XP but it has to be in a Virtual Machine and OS X as the host instead of as a dual boot system with XP in its own partition. That is how I run Windows on my Mac, in a Virtual Machine.
Take a look at VritualBox from Oracle. It's free and works very well.

MacBook Pro 8,1 – Intel Core i5 – 2.23 GHz (early 2011) New with OSX 10.6 – current on all updates.
I successfully installed rEFit. I used Boot Camp to install Win 7. All was great.
Then installed debian 6. Somehow after the debian install and restart (I know this sounds crazy) but I am now reduced to Win 7 only. rEFit is not present when rebooting nor is OSX or debian. Further, I am unable to force the install DVD to launch when rebooting, by holding C, D or F8. The Option key brings me to the grey screen with a padlock. I have attempted the root and local pw- no go. Restart holding D takes me to the windows boot manager. I have attempted several options within the Advanced Options; including – Repair Your computer, safe mode and “last known good config,” All of which did nothing.
I can see all my OSX files within win7. I tried to install the OSX within windows. Ya right, that did nothing..
I only desire to get back to OSX...
What are my options??

Yes, you royally hosed up your machine.
You should first try to get your files off, any way you can to a external drive.
Your going to need to hold c and boot from the disk that came with your computer and a couple of screens in under the menu is a option for Disk Utility.
Select your drive and Erase with Security Option Zero, format the drive HFS+ Journaled and when that's finished (about a hour or so) then quit and install OS X from the installer.
I hope this works, but I suspect it won't. Others have hosed their machines trying to use a Linux disk without proper partition formatting too.
Another option might be to use another Mac to c boot off the Snow Leopard disk and install OS X onto a external drive, take that to the problem Mac and try holding option and booting off of it to erase your internal drive.
You could replace the drive.

Is this holding option while booting?
There was someone else around here who hosed their Mac with a Linux disk too. Try to find it.

How do I download Adobe Flash Player on my MacBook Pro? It says that I have to disable my antivirus software but I never installed one. Does it come with the Mac in the first place?

How do I download Adobe Flash Player on my MacBook Pro? It says that I have to disable my antivirus software but I never installed one. Does it come with the Mac in the first place? If so, how can I disable it or get Adobe Flash Player?

That message is just a standard one issued, mainly for Windows users, you can disregard it if you didn't install any anti-virus. (OS X has one installed by Apple that doesn't interfere)
It's just some forms of anti-malware are really paranoid and lock the entire machine down. (like Norton)
