Purchase of macbook pro 15.
Hey.
I need an advice because I'm going to buy a macbook pro 15,3 during the summer and I'd like to get good setting.
So question is maybe I should wait for the new version with better setting such GeForce 860m+.
I'm going to use it for everything from the video games to spend much time using Logic pro and movies, music, etc.
So I need enough storage for everything.
Right now we can get 1tb and that's enough.
However in a future perhaps can be extra HHD drive over 2TB which saves about 500$.
Thank you!
P.s. Right now I'm using macbook 13. It's the best device I've ever used but his power is not enough for everything.
Ooohhh! Yes, 2TB hard drives in a notebook form factor are not far away (there's one that's very close, but too tall for a MacBook Pro). There's already the HGST Travelstar 7K1500, at 1.5TB... but there's going to be some point where you just can't put enough data on one platter but that will be easily overcome in the next 6 months, probably.
The only problem with today's MacBook Pros (save for the non-Retina 13" model) is that there's no room at all for a spinning drive - only enough room for PCIe based flash storage. Now for heavy-duty graphics (and heavy machines) you can fit all sorts of things in some Windows PC notebooks - up to two hard drive (read SSD) bays and two mSATA ports (and including a Blu-ray recorder). I don't know how closed Macs can get - I know that, now, you violate your warranty by simply removing the backing screws!
Sorry, I got off on a tangent... all I really meant to say is that you won't be able to incorporate a 2TB HHD in any Retina MacBook Pro...

I have a wireless network at home. I run my iphone and ipad on it with no problems. Just purchased a MacBook Pro, and now my wi-fi keeps disconnecting and i get an error message saying another device is using the same IP address. What does all this mean?

Good Evening, I have just purchased a Macbook Pro, and have downloaded two SD cards of a trip to USA and Canada last September. One via Lightrooom 4 and the other via iPhoto. I tried to import the SD card via iPhoto into Lightroom 4 but could not find it. I tried to find this "folder"? via other means with no success. however when I open iPhoto, there it is, so it must be on the Hard Drive somwhere??? I am new to Apple having decided to jump ship from Windows. Would be grateful for any help.
iPhoto is a - like Lightroom - Photo Manager. It's a database. Like any db to get data out you have to export it.
File -> Export
and in this case set the Kind to Original.
iPhoto is a $15 app, LR is somewhat more expensive. As they both want to manage the photos there's no good usage scenario where you use both. Pick one horse and ride, essentially.
This User Tip

has details of the options in the Export dialogue. -
I have been using my husband's apple id in my old PC (ID A). When I purchased a MacBook Pro, I created my own Apple ID (ID B) and started using my laptop and updating the S/W with this ID.
Because I wanted to have access to my old purchases, I changed my Apple ID's e-mail to another e-mail that my husband uses (ID B->ID C).
Then I changed my husband's original Apple ID's e-mail address to my own e-mail address (ID A->ID B).
Now I can't update any s/w through the Apple Store and I get the message that "Sign in to **********@hotmail.com to update applications for that account.". The e-mail address is ID C. How can I associate my laptop in the AppStore with ID B which is the one that have all my purchased applications and contains my own e-mail address?
I would appreciate your reply.
DimitraYou are trying to find a loophole to circumvent a basic rule that prohibits the transfer of purchased content from one Apple ID to another.
Content tied to an Apple ID are bound to that Apple ID forever. You can not merge or trade accounts. Well, not (officially) anyway... -

Looking to purchase a macbook pro, and i've got a few questions
Hi Guys,
I know some of these questions have been asked before, but i'm just trying to get all that information together...
I really don't want to purchase a macbook pro - only for a new one to be announced a week later - the few people i've talked to say this is unlikely due to space and heat constraints within a case any smaller than it is currently... what do you guys think?
The display issue... i work in graphic design, using quark, photoshop etc and i am unusre as to wether the glossy is better than the matte? if anyone works in the same type of feild and can give me their opinions on what they have, wether they are happy with it etc?
Battery... a lot of the time i will be using the laptop plugged into a second monitor, i was always taught to use run the battery down and then plug it in to charge to avoid damaging the battery life, is this an issue anymore? i'd really like to use it plugged in in this situation, and only unplug it when i need to be mobile, will i then find the battery is rubbish because i've used it plugged in all the time? what do you guys do?
thanks!! i think that is it for now!!
Nif you want an idea of if an update is possibly on the horizon, macrumors.com has a buyer's guide. of course it's based on nothing more than speculation, but what they do is calculate if an update is likely to be coming, and when, which is worked out from the history of how often a particular model has been updated in the past. I've never used it myself, but it looks like it might be useful at least as a guide.
at any rate, if you need a machine now, or soon, there's not a lot to be gained by waiting. looking at intel's roadmap for what's next in terms of notebook CPUs, the 'santa rosa' chip is due to be released in about a month I think. it is obviously going to be a step forward, as usual, with probably lower power consumption and less heat, no surprises there. also from what I've read, it will top out at 2.4Ghz which is not a great deal more than the 2.33Ghz max of the core 2 duo available now. I also read that it will have double the cache size of the current chips, which will have a positive impact on performance. and it's also possible, though I haven't read it, that machines using this CPU may be able to have more than 3GB of RAM. if any of this is life-changing for you, then I suppose you could wait. how long a wait it will be, no one can say.
as for the display.. I would go for matte. traditionally that's what visual pros opt for, so it's probably the safer bet. but check them out and see what you like.. bearing in mind that glossy is far more susceptible to ambient light changes, so your experience of working may vary a great deal in different light conditions.
as for battery cycling.. you can stay on power the whole time you work. just make sure to do a power cycle about once a month to ensure a healthy battery. there are detailed instructions for this at apple support, it's not the same technique as for powerbooks. -
As already stated, I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro with Retina display. It will arrive in 4-5 weeks so I don't assume it will arrive in less than 30 days. I would like to know wheather I will still be entitled to a free softwere update to the Mountain Lion. The laptop will ofcourse be completely new and recently purchased, so it would be very disappointing if I am not entitled to this update. Please let me know if you know anything about this or have any assuptions. Thank you
You can call apple if you need reassurance, but they will not turn you down on the free upgrade just because you have not received your computer by day 30.

I have a POP Verizon e-mail address on my iMac and use Mac Mail v3.6. I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and would like to sync the e-mail so that they're the same on each machine. I've learned I must switch to IMAP...how is this done? Please dumb it down as best you can. I have this great fear that I'll lose all my e-mails in the process.

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro with Retina. Which adapter do I purchase to connect it to a Samsung TV for the best quality? Thanks.
Doesn't matter. All HDMI cables should work, some are considered better than others, I had a $5 ebay cable work just as good as a $20 monster HDMI cable.

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro. I would like to transfer Aperture from my Mac Mini to my new MP. How can I do this?
Thanks, Sig. I think I should've been a little clearer. I've attempted to do the updates on my Mac, but I get a warning that it will erase everything except calenders, email, etc from the iPad. I've syned the iPad with the Mac with no problem, but get scary messages when I try to do the latest update.
