Skype slowing down quad core Mac with 16GB RAM?!

Are you serious? This software is lagging out my Mac. It's the only software on here that does this. I can run Logic Pro X, Final Cut Pro, and Facebook at the same time, but I can't do that with Skype. Your software is a peice of **bleep**. It's getting worse day by day. Get your act together and get it working!!!

    Just purchased a new mac mini 3GHz Intel Core i7, with 16GB ram version 10.10.1. With it i purchased a new wireless keyboard. All of a sudden I was not able to use the #1 key. I thought I had a defected newly purchased keyboard. I pulled out my older wireless keyboard, and the same thing happened. It must not be the keyboard if it happened to two different keyboards. I have a habit of restarting my computer, when things don't work, I find it helps, and sure enough, everything works. Today, it happened again. Does anyone know what is causing this to happen?

  • 13'' dual-core with 16gb ram vs 15'' quad-core 8gb ram -- ram vs cores?

    Hello.  I am at a point between choosing a 13'' dual-core i5 with 16gb ram vs the 15'' quad-core with 8gb ram - both retinas.
    I will be using photoshop and illustrator while uploading/downloading large files constantly.  After much headscratching I almost decided on the 13'' i5 because from my experience, RAM limitations is where I usually run into problems, and don't see the extra price of i7 worth it when it is still a dual-core.  For the same price I can get a 15'' quad, but will be stuck with 8gb ram.
    I don't care about the screen size, I have good eyes and the weigth trade-off makes this a non-issue.
    I'm thinking about down the road, as either of these I'm sure will be fine solutions.  I'm just wondering where does the edge really come in this case?  Ram or processor / cores?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for your reply tjk, of course with 16gb on the 15'' for $200 more  I'd have easier time, but in this case I am comparing a refurbished - the lowest 15'' 16gb I could find would cost $500 more, I just can't do it. 
    I should make clear that this particular comparison between 13''w/16 and 15''w/8, they are the same price (the 13 being new) - which is why I'm stuck.
    To rephrase - for the same price - which will I regret less in 4 years?
    As a side note, I can't believe I'm even thinking about paying this much money for something that is not upgradeable, but that's another discussion entirely.

    What do I need to do differently?

    The late, great Pondini was investigating that issue before he passed away.
    See here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5125969
    I think there might be information there on how to reset Time Machine to do a full backup. I think you basically have to reset it and start over.

  • New Quad-Core Computer with Vista64, 8gb ram ; Should I install CS3 or CS4?

    Hello Friends,
    I have been reading the forum trying to gain foresight before I spend very limited cash for hardware and software.
    On Black Friday eve, I spent the night waiting at Best Buy to get the door-buster-deal on an HP desktop with AMD 9500 quad-core, 8gb ddr2 800MHz ram, Windows Vista 64 Home Premium, 760gb hard drive (7200rpm, ESATA 3.0gb transfer), second internal capture drive 500gb(7200rpm ESATA 3.0gb transfer), 1 TB external storage. This machine is only for my photography and video editing. I do wedding photography.
    I have photoshop CS3 full version, so I can upgrade to CS4 Creative Suite for $1,100.00. I can also buy a full version copy of CS3 Creative Suite for $500.00 new in the box with all manuals.
    With all the complaints about CS4, would I be better off buying CS3? Is CS4 worth $600 more? Have all the bugs been worked out of CS3?
    I can upgrade 3 months after they release CS 5 for the $600 and skip some of the heart ache?
    Please tell me what you think?
    Jeffrey

    Any option (CS3, CS4 or waiting for CS5 in 16-18 months) are all logical options for various reasons.
    For you though, you might get the best mileage out of CS4, as there are certain advantages when running on Vista 64 (versus CS3, for which very little was done to take advantage of the extra features of Vista 64). In particular, Photoshop will run a 64-bit app on Vista 64. Premiere Pro also has some additional functionality on Vista 64.
    CS5 should probably bring more full-fledged 64-bit apps, and better features in general (or at least one would hope). but it's not likely to be released or announced even until Q1 2010.

  • Would VMWare ESX(i) run on on a W510 (i7 920 with 16gb ram)?

    Hi all,
    A tough question perhaps though perhaps something useful to know for quite some users:
    Would VMWare ESX(i) run on on a W510 (i7 920 with 16gb ram)?
    All thoughts and comments more than welcome!
    Jochen

    I see no clue why it wouldn't. I used to have ESXi installed on VMware Workstation on my W510 i7-920 with 16GB RAM. I have yet to find a spare hard drive to install ESXi on bare metal.

  • RealVNC with Quad Core Mac Mini "Refresh Issues"

    Upgraded my Mac Mini server from a dual core to Quad Core machine.  Headless machine, hence used RealVNC to administrator it.  So when I utilised RealVNC, connecting via an ipad and the quad core machine had "Refresh Issues"!!  Went back to the Dual Core machine and you can view everything in real-time!  Can't explain it and the RealVNC people can't understand it either, yet!!!???

    It has a wired ethernet connection, the wireless is on but more for "location" services.  And no USB 2.0 or 3.0 devices attached, in fact it's headless, and only the power and ethernet connection attached.  But interesting to learn of the wireless issues on the new mini's.  Thanks!
