Possibly moving from a Lenovo y50 to a gs60 pro but have a question.

Hello everyone.
I have a Lenovo y50 touch that is about to be past its return date friday, I love the laptop but sadly there are 2 things wrong with it that are bad enough to make me want another computer.
The first thing is the screen, I have adjusted the color as well as I can and it is still mediocre at best.
Second thing is, you can not use the HDMI out with the gtx 860m, it will only use the Intel graphics. Thus making the idea of the laptop a desktop replacement impossible, that and the terrible screen ruin the laptop.
My main question is if you hook HDMI cable (or the display link) to a monitor will the laptop allow you to use the graphics card for display?
If I go into my nVidia display settings when I have HDMI connected it will not show the external monitor, only the intel software shows it.
I have a week till Friday to fill for an RMA and I would like to get both laptops to compare beforehand. But if the gs60 pro will not be able to function as a true desktop replacement then there is no point in spending the extra cash.
Here is the model I am looking at.

Also what do you guys love/hate the most of the gs60 line?
Thank you!

You can't change the design of external display port.
For GS60, the HDMI port is connected with the Intel Graphics, thus you can only adjust the display settings by using Intel Graphics Properties.

I think that you need to get a new one. I got mine at http://www.prizerebel.com/index.php?r=1552886

They maybe corrupt, try transferring again from the g4. If iTunes is giving you an error then you need to authorize your computer with the same iTunes account as previously. Also, you could try exporting your iTunes library via iTunes on the g4.

Moving from Dual 2.7 G5 to Mac Pro 2.8 GHZ

Can I remove the second hard-drive in the Dual 2.7 G5 and place it into one of the bays in a new Mac Pro 2.8?
I currently have all of my software, documents, graphics files, etc. on this drive, and transferring it this way would be simplest and put the hard-drive to good use.
I plan on reinstalling all of the software on the pre-installed Mac Pro hard-drive and use the hard-drive from the G5 for documents, graphics files, etc.
Am I approaching this correctly?
Thanks!

It will move over just fine. As you know you cannot boot from a PowerPC operating system in the MacPro, but the drives will cross over mount and operate just fine. Your plan is just right.

I cannot repair the HD even from the installation cd of a macbook pro (i have macbbook with Snow Leopard). Even more, i cannot reboot from the HD to export the cd etc... Can you please help?

History:
Started with stucking. No sesponse to any attempt than force quit.
When i checked the disc, replied: nod fail, repair with installation cd. Sth like that.
I borrowed the installation disc of a macbook pro (i have macbook). I run the utilities to repair the disc 2 times. Failed. After i didn't know how to take out the cd. I had to force quit.
Then, at start, it takes 10-15 minutes with the Apple sign and a small silver bar, until it switch of by itself. I repeated the procedure 10 times totaly, the same!
Sime times, when i start from the installation cd ( i hold "c" at the start), it does'n "see" the hard drive to start up with.
Important detail: When i run the disc repair operation from the Disc Utility of the Installation cd, on the column of the volumes, the "HD Macintosh" characters are grey, whether others are normaly black.
Budget detail: i don't have money to buy products etc, so i count on your advises!!! I prepare a performance though, soon, and i can add the trademark of the sponsor, if somebody is interested... All the data in the computer are about this work, so i cannot risk to lose them.
Thank you in advance!

It sounds as if your MacBook's hard drive is dead, or possibly dying. Replacement drives are fairly inexpensive. You'll need an install DVD like the one that came with the MacBook. Contact Apple via expresslane.apple.com to order a new set. Once you have the machine up and running, restore your data from your backups. If you don't have backups, contact a data recovery outfit to see what they can get off of your old hard drive.
Backups are important!
Best of luck.

HT1386 I copied my my iTunes music from an old computer to a Macbook Pro, but it did not copy the playlists on my nano. How can I transfer the playlists and their content from the nano to the Macbook

I copied my iTunes music from an old computer to a new Macbook pro but it did not copy the playlists that are on my Nano. How can I copy the playlists and their content on the nano to the Macbook? If I automatically sync the nano from the Macbook, will it scrub the content and existing playlists on the nano?

You need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

Best practices for moving from my iMac to my new MacBook Pro without carrying along a lot of junk?

Some suggestions are welcome!
I have been using an iMac late 2009 21.5" for the last few years. Recently I received a new MacBook Pro. The MacBook Pro has better specs (better cpu, more RAM, SSD drive) and is overall faster. I got an external 27" IPS monitor to hook up to the HDMI port and going forward I would like to use the new MBP with external monitor as my main desktop computer and keep my iMac as a backup machine if the MBP ever needs repairs.
Anyway, I have two backups of my iMac: (1) Time Machine, which does its usual incremental backup, but excludes some things, like Parallels VMs and (2) A CCC bootable clone that runs every night at 3:30 am while I'm asleep. And as I'm writing this I'm updating that clone copy.
The thing is, I don't want to move everything over to my new MBP. Over the years I've accumulated a lot of junk, and currently am using about 450 GB of the 512 GB disk space. My new MBP also has 512 GB of space, but I figure why not just bring over what I think is necessary and later on, if I'm missing something, I can get it from the CCC backup or the Time Machine backup. (I will get new backup drives for the MBP). My guess is I don't really need even half of what I've currently got on my iMac HD.
So I don't think I want to use the Time Machine migration assistant. And I don't want to restore the new computer from the CCC clone. But I do want to add in enough applications and documents and settings so I can continue running much like I am running on my iMac. I'd like my installed software (BBEdit, Office, Parallels, CCC, etc.) to be licensed and avoid a new install of each app if possible. I'd like the apps with open documents to remember which docs were open, and when I start them again have things open up like they did on my iMac.
Are there some strategies people can recommend for this? Like for each application, copy over the application, and related preference files from ~/Library? Or are there some applications which just plain have to be re-installed to work right?
If what I'm thinking of doing is too complicated, the alternative would be to do a complete restore to the MBP and then try an extensive hash-and-slash and attempt to delete old, unneeded things.
But I have old preference files going back years and I figure why not start afresh, since everything is so incredibly speedy on my new MBP.
What do people here usually do when they get a new computer that will replace the old one?
Thanks,
Doug

Well, I've been trying this for a while. By my calculations, at this rate, installing all the applications one by one and trying to restore all the data manually will take me about six years. I would finished just in time for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
The main problem is, I don't know where all the bodies are buried. Just one example, I'm using Cornerstone for an svn client. I have working copies of multiple repositories on my computer. I really don't want to set them all up again, and I can't figure out where the Cornerstone preferences and all settings are stored. I couldn't find them in the Library anywhere.
And that's just one case.
I haven't done much with my MacBook Pro yet, I think in retrospect the easiest course of action is to reinstall OS X as though it were new MacBook Pro, start from scratch, and use my Time Machine backup with the migration assistant and go from there.
And that's what I'm doing right now. I'm in the middle of reinstalling OS X.
Afterwords I'll use a clean app uninstaller application to get rid of all the applications that I'm not using. And I'll just hack away at directories that I know I haven't looked at for years, with the confidence that I have a backup both in Time Machine and in CCC and also on my iMac. That's three backups.
I would rather start out "light", but I can see it's just going to take forever and a day to get it done. Anyway, fortunately nothing is carved in stone, and I can always try again if I want to. But dealing with all the documents and all the applications one by one separately was just obviously going to take too much time.
I'll report back on my results. And I appreciate your suggestion.
Doug

Moving from Windows Lap Top to Mac Book Pro, i gotta do it ......

My missus dragged me into an Apple Store yesterday, she is itching to get an iPad2, the rest of the store was full of Mac computers, they are so LOVELY and so easy to use, beautifull in every way, so for £1500 + i can get a MacBookPro, but how much of my Windows Software and Hardware would i have to throw away ?.
Will my External USB Hard drives still work ? and what about my Fave Windows software, like MS Office, and how about Torrent files that i have been downloading with free software like Bit Torrent, can i still do that ?.
It looks as if the Mac uses APP's not programs, i do hope they are a lot cheaper to buy than the Windows 7 OS and/or MS Office etc.
I can be very tempted to be converted, but i would prefer it if i didnt splash out loads more money on hardware/software.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
And it will be easier for a Mac to talk to my wifes iPad2 when she gets it, hopefully before christmas !!.

Your external drive will work, either formatted as native HFS+ (Apple's file system) or FAT32. You can even use NTFS but will not be able to write to it, just read from it. Most of your peripherals should work fine, unless they are really, really, old in which case there may not be drivers for the most recent OS X version (old printers, scanners, for example).
Windows executable programs will not run in OS X. You can however, run windows, either from a dual-boot setup, or from a virtual machine (e.g.e with VMWare Fusion or Parallels). So, if you need OS X native MS Office, you would have to buy that new, and it's just as expensive from MS as it is for windows. You can also use OpenOffice (free) or Apple's own iWorks.
Bit Torrent works on Apple machines, but if you have downloaded applications, then again they won't run natively on OS X (an Apple app is just an OS X compiled executable program - analogous to an *.exe file in windows). Cost of commercial apps is going to be much the same - photoshop for OS X is no cheaper than photoshop for windows and that will be true for most commerial applications available for both platforms.

Why is moving from FiOS so hard? And why do I have a two-year agreement?

To begin, Verizon FiOS service is great! It only went out once, due to a failed battery in the sytem and was corrected ASAP. The local technicians are personable and quick. Now, my fiance and I are moving to a location that doesn't have the FiOS service, so we're forced to give up our service for what's available in the new location. The 50/50 Mbps has been fantastic. So we chat in twice and called and on all three occassions we were met with disconnected, detached and difficult representatives, which doesn't match the service that's been given thus far.
We ran into an issue where we were told, as we're moving in May 2015 and had moved in our current location in May 2014, that we would be subject to an ETF of our contract. My fiance and I are startled as we made a conscious decision to go with the month to month plan throughout our stay. How do we know this? There was an offer for a $250 gift card if we signed up for the contract option and truly considered it as we were wanting some free-flowing cash at the outset of our new residence (start-up costs for household items). We decided against it, as we weren't sure how long we would be here and guess what? A 2-year contract was applied! We've never been late, missed a payment or any such thing. So my question is if we were placed on such a contract, why weren't we given the promotional at that time?
Also, we requested some packaging to send the equipment back as the last day of service will be 05/07, yet haven't received that yet either. Can we take it to a local Verizon store around the corner?
Not sure why this process has been made difficult, as we aren't leaving the service because we want to, but because FiOS isn't applicable to ZIP 28203.
Looking for answers and assitance, please.

Welcome to the forums. You're talking to other customers here.
My understanding is you can take your equipment to any UPS store and they will pack and ship it to Verizon. Be sure to keep copies of all serial numbers and tracking numbers. Pictures are a good idea. I've seen many reports of lost shipments that end up in collections on these boards, so it is wise to keep accurate records.
As to your contract status, you'll have to continue to discuss that with Verizon. We other users can't help you with that issue.
Good Luck.

I just moved from a G5 PowerMac to a Mac Pro with one drive running Yosemite and one running Snow Leopard, Do I need Lion to be able to upgrade iPhotos

How can I see my iPhotos from a G5 PowerMac on a MacPro running Yosemite and Snow Leopard? Is Lion a more advance system that Snow Leopard?

The last iPhoto version you can run with Snow Leopard is iPhoto 9.2.4, and Yosemite needs iPhoto 9.6.
Move your photos to your Yosemite partition, if you want to use iPhoto with Photo Streams and other iCloud features.
As you are asking about Lion, you can run iPhoto iPhoto 9.2.3 or iPhoto 9.2.4 both with Lion and SnowLeopard, but there is no iPhoto version, that runs both on Yosemite and Snow Leopard, or Lion and Yosemite.
