Quad G5 vs. Dual Intel Speed and Transfering all apps to disk

Hi,
I have a G5 Quad and I am very happy with it. However, I need to load the new FCP Studio and CS4 Pro Apps and they need an Intel processor. I can get a Dual Intel G5 for cheap. Does anyone know if the processing speeds are close or what?
Also, how can I transfer all my programs to the new computer's main hard drive?
Thanks!

Intel Mac Pro dropped "G5" G-anything equates to PowerPC.
You are slim on the specs of what you were looking at, but the lowest end was the dual 2.0GHz which came out 3 yrs ago and sells for around $1,000 and is equal to Quad G5.

I'd look for 2008 Mac Pro or later, and preferably this year's Nehalem though they can cost more. Something that can fully utilizes Snow Leopard

Hi, I've just downloaded Aperture 3.2 and transfered all my iPhoto Library but now when I use the Aperture program it runs at the slowest speed possible and is almost impossible to work with. It is constantly processing why is this?

Hi, I've just downloaded Aperture 3.2 and transfered all my iPhoto Library but now when I use the Aperture program it runs at the slowest speed possible and is almost impossible to work with. It is constantly processing why is this?

You can click on the text that says 'processing' in the main windows and it will open (toggle) the Activity Window, (can also be accessed via the Window menu -> Show Activity.
It will tell you what Aperture is doing with more precision and perhaps even how many photos it still needs to process. It is generally best to wait until all that processing is done before you start working with the photos (well it is best to first turn of options what you dont want to use, perhaps Faces or Previews and then let it process the new photos).

I got a new Macbook pro in March and transferred all of my old files into the new macbook from my old one. But ever since then, my iPhoto just does not open up. It says 'error' every time I try to open it, but I am still able to attach the iPhotos saved

I got a new Macbook pro in March and transferred all of my old files into the new macbook from my old one. But ever since then, my iPhoto just does not open up. It says 'error' every time I try to open it, but I am still able to attach the iPhotos saved to emails. Help! How do I get my iPhoto back?

Thanks, Sig.
The old computer is a 2.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
The new one is a 2.3 GHz intel core i7
In going over this, thanks to "tallking it out" with you, I did discover the Text Edit problem. Because I've still been unable to get the new computer text size (fonts or whatever) to match the old computer, I did not notice that the curser is now different--the line midway down the curser has to be placed on the line I am working upon, otherwise the edits go elsewhere on the page. Now, with a bit of difficulty, I am able to get Text Edit to work correctly.
If you have any ideas as to why my menu bar and Text Edit type are still so slow, I'd love to have them.
(I went through the process you suggested earlier, re my Trackpad preferences, and found no improvement.)

I just installed iTunes on my new computer and transferred all my files, but now every song has a duplicate

Hi everyone. CAn someone help me wiht this problem? I recently bought a new Windows 8 machine and transferred all my music onto the new computer. When I installed iTunes and loaded all of my music, every song title has been duplicated. When you click on the first title, iTunes tells you it can't find the file. The second title will play. Is there some easy way to fix this problem without manually deleting all of the duplicate titles?

First and foremost, learn punctuation and capitalization so we can read what you're writing properly.

I have seen similar discussions before... transferring does not work, you must install

Hi All, I recently bought a Mac Book Pro and transferred all my photos from my hard drive onto the Mac. I realised that there were some folders which didn't have the camera information embedded in the files and these files refuse to open on iPhoto. HELP!!

Hi All, I recently bought a Mac Book Pro and transferred all my photos from my hard drive onto the Mac. I realised that there were some folders which didn't have the camera information embedded in the files and these files refuse to open on iPhoto. I know that the folders that have the problem were not transferred to the hard drive via a photo transfer application (I have a Canon camera) but I simply copied them out of the photo card and onto my old PC.
Is there some way I can open these pictures on my Mac? They work fine on a PC.

Thanks for your reply.
The files don't open in preview either. In preview I get the error message 'The file "xxxx_xxx.jpg" could not be opened. It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognize'. The folders with these un-openable pictures do not even get imported into iPhoto. When I try to import them I get an error message about the files being unreadable.
The color profile information on the un-openable files is not visible but I see that all the other files from my old drive are RGB.

I recently purchased an iMac and transferred all of my documents etc. from my Macbook Pro, but now it seems as if some of my photos are distorted and squished. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

How did you move your iPhoto Library from the old Mac to your new one?
Do the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

I successfully unlocked my iPhone 4S (AT&T, iOS 7.0.2) and many apps are missing. Went to app store and updated all apps. If I manually update a single app it will show up. Solution to get all apps back in place?

Iphone froze and deleted all apps!!

My iphone was in the process of upgrading 4 apps. It froze while I was playing a game and after 10 mins, finally got it to turn off and on. When it came back on, all apps were gone except for the few that were upgrading. I tried turning it back off and on and still all apps are gone. My email and pics are still there but everything else is gone. Help!!!

Same here and it is ******* me off. I was in the middle of playing we farm and then it crashed and when it showed me my home screen I noticed all my apps were gone. Here I am trying to figure out what the **** happened so I rebooted and turned the phone off but nothing.
I then synced it iTunes and only one app was reinstalled but the rest remained "hidden."
As you mentioned, I also see that I have 4.1GB of other data on my phone and know that it is the missing apps. Problem is how do I get it all back?
Using phoneDisk, I went into the iphone's root folders and tried to locate these apps. I found them and notice that all but one was marked with a censored image or an error image. Tried to open them but my mac could not, it opened the native and one app just fine (using xcode and iPhone dev kit) but rest were treated as foreign extensions.
I have many backups since I like to have at least monthly backups but I am still concerned with the "other space." If I were to use an old back up to restore my phone would the space taken by other still remain?
This is a first in my 2 iphones I ever owned, lost lots of data and I don't know what directly caused it.

I updated my ipod touch(4G) and now all apps wont work

i updated my ipod touch 32gigs (4G) and now all apps exept the defult apps wont work

thanks Joseph but it didnt work it is still doing the same thing should i mention that only the aps i have downloaded dont work. the defult apps stilll work like settings ect.
sorry but my computer wont let me reply

Out of curiosity.
You downloaded one new app and that fixed all the rest of your apps?
Resetting your iPod Touch will not lose any data.
Only restoring may cause you to loose data.

Glad you got it fixed in the long run.

HT1918 Is it possible to start a new iTunes account and transfere all purchase data from an existing iTunes account then keep both accounts active but separate from that point onwards?

We have a family iTunes account but we are now wanting to separate into 2accounts for financial reasons. Is it possible to transfere all purchased material into a new iTunes account then continue to have the 2seperate accounts with separate billing information going forward.

All content from iTunes is tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded it, and it's not currently possible to copy or transfer content to a different account. You can create a new account for new purchases, and as long as the current account is authorised on the computers iTunes that you use then you should be able to continue using that content.
Note that if you use iTunes match, turn on automatic downloads or re-download past purchases for an account then you risk tying that computer to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
