Somebody Please Reccomend a laptop for me?

i'm a new user to the mac world.
I'm an experienced film editor and i want a top of the line laptop that won't freeze or crash and have enough room for me to edit video.
which laptop can handle final cut pro?
which laptop is affordable and will give me more bang for less money?
please help?

...new user to the mac...film editor...
I was in the same situaton last September.
I am enjoying my 17" MacBookPRO, matte screen, faster hard drive option, 2GB memory. Go ahead and purchase Apple's memory at the time of purchase.
...top of the line laptop that won't freeze or crash and have enough room for me to edit video...
External hard drives for storage of your projects are very affordable. Tae advatage of your MacBookPRO's Firewire capabilities with one!
...which laptop is affordable and will give me more bang for less money?
Do you scrimp on, say, your lenses? Or recording media? Of course not. ou - and your clients - deserve a quality product. Don't have "regrets" later - get the best NOW, and start enjoying it!

    Can somebody please delete this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18023979#18023979
    It contains personal information I do not want others viewing. If possible, can you also delete this threat afterwards?

    I will ask a forum moderator to have it deleted, but I have no control over whether or not they do get deleted. Also, I'd give it a day or so, it won't be instant.  I'm not sure what their hours are.

  • I am unable to update, uninstall, or reinstall iTunes on my laptop.  Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bits.  Error code is 2330.  Can somebody please help me?

    I am unable to update, uninstall, or reinstall iTunes on my laptop.  Everything was working fine until recently when there was an update available for iTunes, and when I tried to update this, I got the message, "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package.  This may indicate a problem with this package. Error code is 2330."  Can somebody please help me?
    System configuration:
    Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bits.
    Version:  6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601
    System Directory:  C:\Windows\system32
    RAM:  1.00 GB.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • When i open iphoto i see my photo's for 1 second and then they are gone .The photo's are still there but i can see them only on the bottom or top of my screen when i try to open them i get a sign that it is not possible.Can somebody please  help me?

    Have you upgraded to iPhoto 9.6 for compatibility with Yosemite? If not, try that first.
    It looks like iPhoto has lost the connection between the thumbnails and the original image files.
    This can be caused by a corrupted iPhoto library, or the originals have been deleted or moved.
    Try first to rebuild your iPhoto Library:
    If you do not have a current backup of the iPhoto library, make a copy of the library, but do not overwrite any previous backup.
    Launch iPhoto with the ⌥⌘-key combination (option-command) held down.
    Select "rebuild" from the first aid panel.  This may take a while for a large library.
    Can you now see your photos again?
    If not, rebuild the library with iPhoto Library manager as described by Old Toad:            Re: iphoto crashed

  • Unable to charge my Ipad 4 with my Laptop (HP 7010tx) USB . I am Getting error message as "Not Charging" . Please give a solution for this ...???

    Unable to charge my Ipad 4 with my Laptop (HP 7010tx) USB . I am Getting error message as "Not Charging" . Please give a solution for this ...???

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • I recently purchased a book from itunes on my ipad 2 but when i open the book in ibooks i get (incorrectly formatted or not formatted for ibooks) somebody please help

    I am currently deployed over seas.. I recently purchased a book that im pretty stoked about. but when i open it in ibooks i get ( incorrectly formatted or not formatted for ibooks to recognize) the file is an .epub so i dont see how it could be a format issue.. I tried emailing apple but because of the situation they want me to call. I have very limited telecomminications at my location .. somebody please help

    The Report a Problem link can also be found in iTunes/Store/View Account/Purchase History.
    Before asking for a refund, also try deleting the book and redownloading it.
    If you find that the iBookstore is does not meet your needs, you can try one of the others like Kindle, Nook, Kobo, Googlebooks, or Sony.

    Clifton I must disagree with you on the above statement. It is my opinion and experience that you should never connect the camera directly to any computer, Mac Windows Whatever.
    It is always best to Remove the memory card from the camera and put it in a card reader, whether an external reader or one built into the computer, to copy images from the card.
    Hi Shootist. I would be interested in hearing some reasoning on this. I almost always use a USB cable to connect my camera to the MBP for transferring pictures, and have moved about 30,000 this way over the last 6 years since my photography went digital. Recently, on the rare occassions when I have only a few to transfer and I was too lazy to go for the cable, I have used the card reader; about half those times I have difficulty getting the MBP to recognise the card. I find I have to press the card very hard into the slot for it to be recognised.
    My rationale is quite possibly wrong, but I feel that the USB connectors are more robust and hard-wearing than the flimsy connectors on an SD card. Also, I haven't measured it, but I think the data transfer is faster with the cable. (I just came across this test, which reports noticeably faster transfer for cable than built-in card reader, but the computer was a PC)
    Chiara, sorry for hijacking your thread.

  • Somebody please help me for sorting arrays!!

    Hello.
    I have a problem like this. (http://www.sfusd.edu/schwww/sch697/depts/math/simon/ICTJAVA/WebLessons/APCSL27/APCSL27-1-7.html)
    public class Item implements Comparable
    private int myId;
    private int myInv;
    public Item(int id, int inv)
    myId = id;
    myInv = inv;
    public int getId(){ )
    public int getInv(){ }
    public int compareTo(Object otherObject){ }
    public boolean equals(Object otherObject){ }
    public String toString(){ }
    public class Store
    private Item[] myStore;
    public Store(String fileName) { }
    public void displayStore()
    public String toString(){ }
    public void doSort() { }
    private void quickSort(Item[] list, int first, int last)
    private void loadFile(String inFileName)
    The first line of file50.txt contains the number of id/inventory integer pairs listed on subsequent lines. The idea behind the data type item is the simulation of an item in a store, nearly all of which use a bar code for identification purposes. For every item in a store we keep track of an id value and an inventory amount. So file50.txt looks like this:
    50
    3679 87
    196 60
    17914 12
    18618 64
    2370 65
    etc. (for 45 more lines)
    Each id value in file50.txt will be unique.
    Assignment:
    Write a program that solves the following sequential events:
    loads the data file, file50.txt, as a collection of Item types maintained in a Store object
    sorts the data using quickSort
    prints the data , now in increasing order based on the id field of an Item object
    The printing should add a blank line after every 10 items in the output. Include a line number in the output. For example:
    Id Inv
    1 184 14
    2 196 60
    3 206 31
    4 584 85
    5 768 85
    6 2370 65
    7 3433 5
    8 3679 87
    9 4329 64
    10 5529 11
    11 6265 58
    12 6835 94
    13 6992 76
    14 7282 73
    15 8303 90
    16 9267 68
    etc.
    You will need to complete the getId(), getItem(), compareTo(), equals() and toString() methods for the Item class.
    You will need to complete the Store() constructor, displayStore(), loadFile(), quickSort() and toString() methods for the Store class.
    That's the assigned project.
    this is a side story. I'm a highschooler, and my teacher always hangs out on the internet, teaching nothing. and like this, he just print some problems from the internet and give it to the students. is there a handout about lesson? no. is this always been like this? yeah...
    I have no idea how to right a method called getId(), getInv(), etc...
    would anybody please... please help me?
    p.s.
    the file50.txt is
    on http://www.sfusd.edu/schwww/sch697/depts/math/simon/ICTJAVA/WebLessons/APCSL27/file50.txt
    quicksort is in
    http://www.sum-it.nl/QuickSort.java here.
    somebody please... help me out...

    well you're really going to have to at least do a quick skim of:
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/getStarted/index.html
    And also how to use a browser and browse the API Docs
    especially for: Comparable
    You'll also get flamed for just posting a Homework assignment with no evidence of your own attempts to solve it, OR for not formatting the code with
    [ c o d e ] [ / c o d e ]
    I suppose you get some points if you answer some of the questions?
    Try the easy parts first:
    Complete the methods of the class Item
    Ignore the deliberate Typos in the assignment
    see how you have the class members defined already like:
    private int myId;                         // The guy couldn't be bothered to document his code
    private int myInv;                       // So you will have to.......document itlook at this:
    public int getId() {}As it is the compiler will just say : Missing method body, or declare abstract...
    Your job is to guess what it should do from the 'signature'
    It must return an int and that should be related to Id neh?
    So try things like:
         @return the value of the myId field.
    public int getId()
              return       this.myId;      // return myId would do as well
         Sets the value of myId field
         @param  newId   the new Id to set.
      public void setId( int newId )
           this.myId = newId;             // the old value is replaced with the new
      }do the rest of the simple obvious methods.
    You will get some marks and improve your confidence with simple Java
    Read The API doc on Comparable Interface:
    Decide Carefully how you want to "Order" Objects of type Item.
    In this case this will probably depend first on myId and then subsequently on myInv
    The Comparable interface helps Sorting methods decide qhich object comes first when sorting.
    you will need ssomething like this.
         Implements Comparable - Read the API
    public int compareTo( Object o ) throws ClassCastException, NullPointerException
        if( o == null )
             throw new NullPointerException("Blah blah blah");
       if( !( o instanceof Item ) )
              throw new ClassCastException("Apples and Oranges!");
      Item  item = ( Item ) o;  // Cast o to an Item so it can be checked
      if( this.getId()  < item.getId() )
             return -1;                         // Signal that "this"is less than o
      if ( this.getId() > item.getId() )
            return 1;
      // here both items have the same  myId field
    if( this.getInv() < item .getInv() )
             return -1;
    if( this.getInv() > item.getInv() )
           return 1;
      return 0;                     // they are at the same sort order
    }You use that method like:
      Item a;
      Item b;
      if( a.compareTo( b ) < 0 )
          //blah blah
      }To write the equals method read the API it is similar to compareTo()
    To Read The file : Search on this forum for reading a file line by line.
    Check the API.
    ALso if you have installed Java:
    There are many examples of how to do this in the demo directory
    Even one on QuickSort ---
    So plug away..................

    Yep, that's the only message that popped out. Nothing else. Yes, it's running on the latest ios and I still can't restore it. I called apple and they told me it's probably something wrong with their servers. Anyway thanks for the advice.

  • Hello iv recently transferred my photos to my iphone from my laptop 3600 photos but when i go to upload a photo to facebook it will only access my camera roll photos not the 3600 ones.. can somebody please help.

    Hello iv just recently transferred 3600 photos to my phone from my laptop. But when i go to upload a picture to facebook it only seems to go to my camera roll to choose a picture not my 3600 pictures.
    can somebody please help :-(

    I am having same issue! After May 14 FB update, I can't choose ANY photos from my photo library to upload to FB mobile. It's ONLY allowing me to select from Camera Roll.  It works from ipad and ipod, just not iphone 5? I used to get choices from all of my photos in Photo Library. And it has nothing to do with the privacy settings, etc that users experienced with update to IOS6. Everything is enabled and WAS working prior to may14 FB app update.  Funny thing is, on the May 13 update that FB had it worked fine.  When they did May 14 update, that was it.  I've sent and posted notices on those discussion boards too. Hopefully they will fix soon.
