Speed diff btw my PB 12" & new MBP using Pshop CS3?

very specific question obviously...
I work as a photographer with digital image files ranging from 60-900 MB.
I use a G5 dual 2.0 Ghz w/ 4 GB ram at my studio. but when I am on location I use my three and a half year old Powerbook 12" 1,25 Ghz w/ 1.15 Gb ram (max).
It is so painfully slow.....
what would be the speed difference (gain) using Photoshop CS3 if I get the new MBP 15" 2.4 GHz?
thanks!
alexander

I haven't used Photoshop, but the speed difference should be massive, especially since you're opening such huge files.
You're talking about four times more RAM, massively faster CPUs, and of course everything else in the system is faster too. It should be faster than the G5 desktop, unless the new version of Photoshop isn't coded as well.

  • Whats is the diff. btw classic badi and new badi

    Hi guy,
    I just found out that there is classic and new badi implementation in SE19, I would like to check out with u guys on what is the diff btw the two?
    thanks.

    <b>Differences Between Classic and New BAdIs</b>
    Classic and new BAdIs differ in a number of features that are important for migration:
    1. BAdI object
    a.      With classic BAdIs, a BAdI object is created by calling a factory method, and referenced via a reference variable of the type of the BAdI interface.
    b.      With new BAdIs, a BAdI object is created via the ABAP statement GET BADIas a handle for the calls of BAdI methods, and referenced via a reference variable of the type of the BAdI. A BAdI object is an instance of an internal BAdI class, which otherwise is invisible to the outside.
    2. Passing comparison values for the filter
    a.      With the classical BAdIs, the filter values are stored in a structure and passed with the call of the BAdI methods.
    b.      With the new BAdIs, the comparison values for the filters used to search for implementations are passed when the BAdI object is created with the GET BADIstatement.
    There is no way of migrating the call of the factory method one-to-one into the ABAP statement, because GET BADI can also return an existing BAdI object, which is not possible with the factory method.
    3. Calling BAdI methods
    Passing comparison values for the filter
    a.      A classic BAdI can be called only once and the call positions are registered centrally.
    b.      With new BAdIs, multiple calls are possible and the call positions are not registered centrally.
    For the above reasons, an automatic call migration is not possible.
    Have a look at below link.

  • Can't migrate date from old mbp to new mbp using maverick

    Hi have a new MBP 15 and 1 old one 12 maths old bothe running maverick. Have been trying to migrate data from older MBP but they keep disconnecting as soon as the transfer is about to start.

    Use the Setup Assistant during your initial setup of the new computer. You will need to connect your old computer to the new computer to do this. You can do this using a current Time Machine backup of the old computer if you can connect the backup drive to the new computer. See Target Disk Mode and About Windows Migration Assistant.

  • New MBP release around CS3 release?

    I read somewhere online that apple is planning on releasing all new MBPs to go with the newest release of CS3. im planning on upgrading to a new MBP, but id wait if i knew if there is any truth in this. can anyone verify?

    No one here knows when an updated MBP will arrive. No one would know if it's truth, and no one can verify.

  • How do I install CS3 on a new computer using my CS3 install disk?

    The installation process for CS# says my Page Maker 6.5 serial number is incorrect even though the product lists it.

    You’ll need to call Adobe for this. Nobody here can help with that type of issue.

  • New MBP mini Display Port out to TV (HDMI) not working

    Sorry, I just realized I put this in the Original Folder not the Late 2008 folder.
    I bought a new MBP 2.4 GHz, 4 GBs RAM machine in January of this year, 2009. Model Identifier 5,1. I wanted to connect it to my TV's HDMI port. Only interested in getting video to TV since I run sound through a sound system. I have been using my MacBook Air's DVI adapter to a DVi - HDMI cable. I have a Sony Bravia 40 HD tv. Video works just fine from my MBAir, can change resolutions to anything and video works perfectly (audio has a little problem though - high frequency hum out of the MBAir's audio port). That's why I want to change to my MB Pro - audio from the New MBP is good.
    With my new MBP, using it's Mini out- DVi connector and using the Same Video (HDMI) cable that I used with my MBAir - it doesn't work. The Display Preference does not detect the TV ever. I just get a black screen on the TV. Not even a flash on the TV like it's trying to connect - nothing.
    I can pull the cable out of my MBP 2.4 and swap the DVi connector to the MBAir's cable and put it in the MBAir and it works just fine. Swap it back to the new MBP and nothing.
    I have tried two different MBP Mini DVI out connectors, thinking one was bad. I even took the connector I use with the MBAir with me to the Apple Store to have them match the connectors, so I would be assured that I got the correct one. Oh by the way, my MBAir is the original one, not the newest one.
    I have read a lot of links on the website where people are having trouble with Monitors using the new MBP Mini DVI video out but could not find any thread that matched my TV problem.
    Any suggestions or explanations would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Hi Jim,
    Just to clarify, you state that you have a MacBookPro5,1, which is the late 2008 model. The video output on that model is a mini-DisplayPort, not a mini-DVI (like the pre-unibody MacBooks) or a micro-DVI (like your 1st gen MBA). DisplayPort is a different type of port. (Note - I requested an edit of the title of your post to clarify that).
    When you connect the TV, in what sequence are you connecting? The 'proper' sequence is to connect the DVI-HDMI cable to the mini-DisplayPort to DVI adapter, have the HDMI end connected to the TV, have the TV set to Line-In, looking for a signal, then connect to the MBP last.
    What happens when you connect it like that? Have you tried System Preferences > Displays > Detect Displays?

  • Even on my new MBP Safari just hangs. And on the 2 MacBooks too

    Wow. So I've bought myself a MacBook Pro. 2ghz. Up from a 1.67ghz AL PowerBook.
    I had posted before with my PB on how Safari just hangs at loading pages. The blue URL bar just hangs at 3/4 of the way. And sits thre for minutes or forever.
    My only solution has always been to just do Apple Key and letter R as part of each page I go to in Safari. And this loads the page and it comes up instantly. So it's the initial going to a new page that chokes Safari.
    So I upgrade to a 2ghz MacBook Pro and two 2ghz Macbooks.
    And wouldn't you know it, Safari does EXACTLY the same thing. Hangs. Chokes. Beach Ball of death too now. ***
    And I also had previously posted on visiting the Apple Store and Safari hung up on their machines too.
    I keep my Safari cache folder read only. And the Favicon folder also read only. I have an honest 30Mbps cable connection. And the kicker, like before-
    Firefox flies and loads pages instantly! With Safari hanging and choking, I'll open Firefox and go to the page Safari is hangin and choking and, BAM. Page loads right up in Firefox. WOW
    What is it with Safari Apple? I can't imagine one PC user switching to Mac if on testing the web in an Apple Store and the web "seems so slow" to them. It's the dog Safari.
    So as I type this on my new MBP using Firefox, does anyone think Apple will ever address this issue? Others have posted saying they get the exact same thing with their copy of Safari.
    Can any imagine Steve in his office using Safari thinking this is the way a browser is supposed to work? He must be using Firefox too.
    MacBook Pro 2.0ghz Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2gig of Ram

    No it's Safari.
    Here are screen shots of the hang:

    http://s78.photobucket.com/albums/j100/thewizardknowsall/?action=view&current=Pi cture1.png&refPage=&imgAnch=imgAnch3
    I have three people here that this happens too. At different locations. 2 MacBooks and one MacBook Pro. We all updated from 2 iBooks and 1 PowerBook.
    And Safari does this. This is how Safari works. If we go to the exact smae sites in Firefox, the sites load instantly. Insantly!!
    I think Apple needs to ddress this issue. As I've found here in the discussions, this IS how Safari works many many thousands of users.

  • New MBP... won't accept CD-RW (high speed 24x)

    Can anyone advise why my new MBP won't accept Memorex high speed CD-RWs... (24x) in fact, it's not the high speed issue bcuz I've tried a regular 4x CD-RW and it won't accept it either...
    The error message is simply, your drive can not red this disk - then offers options to ignore or eject...
    Any help is appreciated... Thanks in advance

    Have you tried using other brands of CD-RW media besides Memorex? That would be a good first step to take if you haven't already done so.
    Does the disc drive make any funny noises after you insert the disc or does it sound normal? If the drive sounds normal and reads every other type of media correctly, you may want to repair disk permissions and reboot, via the Disk Utility application. If that has no effect, reboot the computer and reset the SMC if you have to....its an easy process, as shown in this link:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319
    In addition, make sure that you have the latest version of the SMC and EFI firmware, directly available from the downloads page here on Apple's support site.
    If nothing else works, you could try backing up your files and reinstalling OS X, but I would get on the phone with Apple Support first. Since your computer is new, it shouldn't cost you anything. 90 days of complimentary telephone support come with every new Macintosh.
    Good Luck.

  • New mbp - 2,4 or 2,6 mhz - is the higher speed that price worth?

    hy,
    i order today a new mbp 17" .
    and i think about getting the faster cpu. but are the 0,2 more speed the higher price worth? i am not going to render 3d/video. more photoshop/print.
    thanks claus

    My take is that generally every additional ounce of speed is worth it. Whether it is worth $250 is a question only you and your budget can answer.
    What I generally find happens to me if I don't go for the max speed is that suddenly, like now, when my MBP 2.16 ghz I feel very left behind. But in this world of computer advances trying to stay up at the top would take either a Bill Gates or Steve Jobs budget which I don't have.
    I've been waiting to see what happens too and I'm hoping there is a slight price decrease in prep for Christmas sales.
    Regardless I have authorization from my boss to go with: MBP 17 hi-res, 250gb disk, 2gb RAM, APP. I'll buy the 4gb of RAM from Crucial for MUCH less than Apple sells it.

  • New MBP vs. my "old" MBP

    I have a late '07 2.4ghz 15" MBP, 4GBs RAM. After retiring my 'ol G5 tower 6 mos. ago, this MBP has been my only machine, handling things surprisingly well(I do pro audio work, from sound design to composing/production using Logic and some pretty hungry 3rd party pluggies). It's performed admirably I'd say.
    Well, I'm jonesin' for a new machine, and while I know a MacPro makes obvious sense, I've become really hooked on being laptop-based for various reasons.
    I'm just wondering, would a new MBP 3.0ghz, 8GBs RAM really kick booty on my current machine---would it be a significant increase in speed/power? I'll be finally leaving 'ol Tiger behind when I do make the switch, BTW, if that makes a difference . . .
    All 2 cents appreciated!

    Short answer(bcs the iphone keypad)
    No you won't see any real difference. Of course the 3ghz rig would do tasks 3-5 seconds faster. Try Google for real life benchmarks, then you would have an idea

  • UPS lost my new MBP

    Yesterday, I finally received my new 17" HiDef 4G 250G HD Mac Book Pro after UPS lost it for 24 hours. They delivered it to another address and then insisted that they delivered it to my home! The next day it showed up with no explanation of where it had been.
    I've run the machine for the past 24 hours with absolutely no problems. The transition is the easiest I've ever had, going all the way back to the Apple IIE. I opened it up and it immediately logged on to my wireless system.
    Observations:
    I got it from MacMall this time to save state sales tax. Also MacMall offered an installation package of bootcamp and XP Pro for less than I could buy the XP Pro by itself. Additionally, they sell a warranty extention for about the same price as Apple Care that does everything Apple Care does AND includes damage protection. In the past, I've had Apple Care and almost never had to use it. The one time I tried to use it when paint boiled off the bezel on my Titanium Power Book from heat, they refused to do anything because it was "cosmetic".
    The Hi Def non-glare display is absolutely stunning. It is so bright that it makes the display on my aluminum G4 Powerbook look dirty grey. The large format does do some funky things to some web sites, such as the opening pages here on Apple's discussion page. Even though the window is wide, the displayed page is narrow and forces some of the text to be displayed in columns.
    The battery is HUGE, but the mag safe connection is brilliant.
    The lighted key board is just right as opposed to the Powerbook where it was useless.
    I bought a Targus back pack this time around instead of the brief case I have been using for ten years.
    Despite the many compaints here of the new MBP running hot, it had been cooler than my Powerbook. I am going to install a fan utility on the Powerbook to make sure they are working right.
    Using the migration utility, I was up and running within 15 minutes. The included software is very extensive. The only thing I added was an upgrade to the newest Photoshop from my existing one. I already had MS Office and removed the demo. iWorks is impressive and I will probably buy it. The only thing that took time after that was figuring out how to transfer bookmarks, my address book, and songs from iTunes.
    After closely monitoring some of the problems people have had with the MBP, I have had a tremendous feeling of relief and elation at such a flawless transition.

    Nice to hear that you’re happy with your new MacBook Pro. BTW: Unless you really need it, you may want to hold off on iWorks since it’s been awhile since the last upgrade. As you may know, Apple doesn’t offer any discounts on iWorks upgrades and based on history, I would expect to see another revision in the not so distant future.
    ...Boy, can you imagine what UPS would have to pay if they had truly lost it?!

  • New MBP -- Wireless Connectivity Inconsistent (Despite MBP's Claims)

    Have a new MBP, running 10.5.6 straight out of the box. All essential system updates have been downloaded and installed (one FCE update remains undownloaded). The Airport connection is tenuous -- it will stay connected to the internet for hours at a time, and then go out repeatedly. Every time it goes out, diagnostics claim it is connected, as does the Network dialogue in System Preferences, even when it is impossible to load any web page (or complete system update downloads!).
    A few things:
    1. At no point does the MBP indicate that it has lost a connection to the wireless network.
    2. While internet connection is lost on MBP, I am still able to connect wirelessly with my Powerbook, implying that internet connection/router/ISP is not to blame.
    3. I tried entering IP information manually, but to no avail. On a lark, I switched the IP address of the MBP with the PB, but PB continued to be able to connect to internet while MBP struggled.
    4. While internet connection via my secure wireless network is lost on MBP, I am able to connect MBP to a nearby unsecured wireless network (presumably a neighbor's). I have purposely not maintained connection to this wireless network for long stretches (though I'm using it now to compose this query), so I don't know that the connectivity issues are absent when connected to it, but I have not experienced any inconsistency when connected to it, even in phases when I am experiencing inconsistency with my secure network.
    5. My network is secured by way of a WEP 128-bit hexadecimal password. However, the settings under Network in System Preferences insist on calling it a WEP password, no matter how many times I change it to WEP 128 hex.
    6. On a couple of occasions, when experiencing proper connectivity on my secure network, I have tried locking the Network settings in System Preferences. Paradoxically, doing this seems to immediately disconnect me from the internet.
    That's all I can think of for now. This problem seems not unrelated to some other problems described in messageboards across the web, but I didn't see anyone outline the problem in the exact way that I've experienced it (nor have I seen a sure-fire solution posted to the problems I have read about).

    Folks: *there may be a power/signal issue going on here.* I had a similar problem of my network connection dragging to practically nothing when hooking up my LaCie external drive to the USB port. Please see my post below (link and text)
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9914924#9914924
    Folks:
    Apple needs to get on this issue fast; after turning off my N mode on my WRT160N Linksys Router, I got my packet speed back up to where it should be... HOWEVER I noticed another problem.
    When I hooked up my LaCie external drive (connected via USB), my packets on PING practically stall to nothing. I then eject the external USB drive and re-ping and I get acceptable packet speeds; I re-connect the LaCie external drive to the USB port and my PING crawls to nothing.
    There is CLEARLY a correlation between the network speed crawling to nothing while hooking up an external drive; possibly a power sink and/or signal interference on the Airport when hooking up a USB device? (or perhaps even Firewire 800 too?)
    I sure hope Apple is reading this one, because this could be a MAJOR issue that needs to be fixed ASAP.

  • Config. a New MBP and Wanting Some Advice.

    (I apologize for the spelling errors ahead of time, but I need to hit the sack. However, I wanted to get this out since I do need to make a final decision on the new MBP early am. Getting feedback, other people's experiences, pointing out my crazy way of thinking, etc. all help me.)
    Hello-
    I am configuring a new 17" MBP. I have a ton of questions mostly because I stopped updating the OS at Tiger 10.4.11. Due to being accepted into a grad.school of architecture, panning, and preservation earlier than I thought, I will not be able to do what I was planning. that was learning Leopard on a friend's computer while taking what I thought was my last upper division course and having the basics of that OS, and having SL on the new 17" MPB for school. which I am now starting 4 months before I thought.
    I stopped at the Tiger version because Macs were real hard for me to learn and I am still probably way behind what most kids can do. (Oh, just out of the blue, what does it mean when Apple uses OS X a lot? (Are all of the Operating Systems OS X or how does that work?)
    Any feeling on skipping over Leopard and getting a Mac with SL installed, if indeed that is what they are now doing.
    I could go of on some more technical questions but I am going to not make this too long and ask m last question about the iPods. When they fist came out, I tried one and I broke it. it told me to install this software on the Pod but it already had it installed on it and I could not get it to work after that. The second time, I was exercising with it and I guess the jogging on the treadmill was too hard on the hard drive and it was out flat and cold as ice.
    So, I just switched t my old FM Sony and used that but I would like to get an iPod with the new Mac and hopefully use it with iTunes to download the thousands of songs I have purchased o iTunes onto the iPod. Any suggestions on how to learn using it? I am sure it is simple for most of you and you guys are laughing at me, but am serious, there has got to be another person out there, who did not grasp how to use it like the rest of the world.
    Also, I have never understood why Apple does not come with a practical Owner's Manual? Every time I look up something it is not there or has such little written about that are, it does me no good. I have heard about the Missing manuals and that they have one coming out for th iPods.
    any recommendation on an iPod for a beginner? Not something too large but comfortable, holds up to a clumsy big person, like I hope my MacBook Pro will. What is the name of the one you recommend and anything else as far as ear plugs or security straps that will help me keep it intact for awhile? Any resources that yo know of that is a good resource? Any on here in a section some people have sent me to but I cannot seem to find the Article section in the Apple Support area but I know there are a lot of good articles on how to do a lot of stuff somewhere. maybe it is not as organized as I assumed it was. it seems so good, I wold even like to have it on hard copy here at my desk, but probably copyright problems there.
    thanks for any recommendations and accessories for the iPod. I do not really have thousands and thousands of music I would like to download into m iPod.
    I'll sneak one last one in here, are the Macs with 2 graphics architecture really something that is needed, or maybe I do not understand how the 2 that are used-NVIDIA GeForce 9400M integrated and NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT discrete graphics processors used all the time when needed (which is determined by the software like games, architecture apps, etc.? I know in my are I will need this for sure but I just do not understand it like I should. I will read up on it but if anybody has any "bits and pieces" that could help me understand why the average "Joe" would get a notebook with this intense graphic ability, I just do not understand.
    I also understand that you can turn them on and off or use one or two, but is this something the user can do or the notebook does? I was also wondering if these intense graphic cards draw from their own dedicated power or what? Is this e of the reasons why the new MBP give one the ability to put up to 8 GB of pretty intense RAM in this machine.
    the 13 MBP does not have both graphic cards, right? But it will take up to 8 GB of RAM. I am not getting something or my technology skills need to be worked on.
    The mini display port which seems like most notebooks are installing now, allows for pure digital connection to external displays. Can somebody give me a few examples of what this would be? Are they talking about larger displays that work off of the notebook but sit o your desk or can be used to watch a movie? I am not familiar with the term "pure digital.
    OK, thanks a ton. Sorry again if it is not clear but I need to it the sack. I really appreciate being able to come to a place like this and get some pro help.
    BTW, if anybody has come across some rude or strange posts using this Profile Name, I have been having trouble with my 2 sons doing this stuff. I have a rule that all computers are open to anybody as long as they ask if they can use it and do not snoop around looking for personal stuff. One of them found this site and ...well, long story but I am trying to deal with it like my family deals with problems like this--not the typical way most families will deal with this, but I know it will stop now.

    You can't edit a post after anyone else has responded to it, and you can't ever completely delete it — but during the short time it's available for editing (30 minutes or so, if no one has responded), you can delete all the text from it.
    Maybe you could try prioritizing your questions, so folks here will know which ones are most important to you and focus on those first?

  • New MBP and Airport - reeeaaaal slow

    Just got a new MBP (this could probably be posted in the MBP forum, too). For whatever reason, I'm getting very poor speeds with it. It's not my internet service or modem, because the iBook I just replaced got screaming speeds.
    I'm also getting the slow speeds when copying files from one computer on the network to this one.
    Anyone have an idea? I'm on 10.4.7, and all my software is up to date.

    I'm now experiencing the same thing. I've had my MBP for about a month now. For the last 3 and a half weeks it's been fine. It's only been the last couple of days that it's been super slow. It must be due to an update I've done. I'm running 10.4.7 as well. When I boot into XP the internet is fast which rules out that it may be my router / modem. This is very strange and frustrating. Anybody????????

  • Wireless on My New MBP super slow

    Hi everyone, I just bought a shiny new 15" Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard 10.6.2, love it except my wireless is super slow when using it on my home network. I know I'm not the first to complain of this and that there are plenty of other threads about it, but I've tried some of the solutions on those thread to no avail. So I'm starting my own, can someone please help, I'm dangerously close to doing something irrational to my MBP. Ok here's a breakdown of my problem:
    -I'm using a Belkin pre N1 router.
    -I pay for 10mbs but I'm getting .5mbs using Airport but if I plug in the ethernet I achieve around 9mbs
    -Airport shows a full signal
    -My old IMac runs like a stallion on my network using Airport, so does my roommates Vista machine both getting around 8.5mbs
    -I've made sure my IMac's and Macbook Pro settings are the same
    -I've tried using an open dns, didn't work
    -I've change my router from using a WEP to using a WPA, didn't work
    -I've tried changing the broadcast signal from 11N/G to just 11N to 11N/G/B to 11G/B to 11B back to 11N/G, when I broadcasted just N wireless speed jump all the way up to 8mbs hooraay!!! until I quit safari and opened it again wireless speed went back to .5mps
    -I've tried using every wireless channel 1-11 plus Auto, Again wireless speed jump all the way up to 8mbs hooraay!!! until I quit safari and opened it again wireless speed went back to .5mps
    -I've tried doing a special little dance in front of it, didn't work except to make me ready to drop it like its hot this Saturday!!!
    Nothing seems to work. I'm making a Apple genus appointment tomorrow but I have a sneaky feeling that it will be fine on their network and they'll tell me it's belkins problem. Which could be the case but why would my IMac and Vista computers work flawless and not my new MacBook. Please, please, please help. Theres plenty of praise for whomever can solve my problem and I can praise like no other. Thanks
    -Jerry-

    yup, same here. Brand new, Core i7 Macbook Pro, and my 13" White Core Duo (not even C2D) Macbook kicks its a** on Airport. What's up with that????
    I've tried all the previous "fixes" I could find -- wipe and re-install, delete and replace AirPort entry in Network panel, new Location in Network panel, and so on. This is pretty bad... I haven't tried different DNS yet, but I don't see why the DNS should make any difference when my Mac Pro and the old Macbook seem fine with the servers from my ISP.
