Starter Mac computer for starter apple developer

I never develope any apple app but want to start. what type of computer do I need to invest for developing ipad app, AppleAir, or MacPro? will 128GB space is enough?

the cheapest is good enough for just "developing". All Models support the animation/core image/3D functions to make apps that shine.. Of course the more you invest, the faster the machine . But they all are very capable. There is no "bad Mac" that you can buy now.
However with XCode 4.1.x you can only target Snowleopard and Lion and the current iOS for iphone & co. No old OS or old Mac ( PowerPC ) will run your apps that you make.

Part 2
Thanks for the feedback Skhorchid. Glad it worked for you too.
A bit later I discovered that Photo Stream was not working on my Windows 7 PC either. If I opened the iCloud control panel and put a check in the box to turn on Photo Stream, and then closed and reopened the control panel, the check mark was gone again. Also, nothing happened when I clicked on the options button beside the Photo Stream check box. I already had version 2 of the iCloud control panel so I could not upgrade further.
I ended up uninstalling the iCloud control panel, rebooting, downloading a fresh copy from Apple, and reinstalling it. This worked and I now have photo stream working on my Windows 7 system as well.

I currently use an iPhone, an iPad, and a Mac computer for business. The three devices have Contacts Managers that sync with each other through both Google and through Mobile Me. Currently, this has created a mess of duplicate contacts. Please advise me on the steps necessary for removing these duplicates and establishing a syncing solution that doesn't regenerate the duplicates. There are several applications available that remove duplicates, but I am not sure which ones work or don't work. I want information on this, but most importantly I want to understand how to fix this problem permanently. Also, I read somewhere that Mac's new operating system, Lion, can help deal with duplicates. I don't have Lion, but I would be willing to get it, if this would fix the problem.

Had the same problem with 4 devices (two computers, an iPhone and an iPod). The solution is simple: open the Address Book application in your mac, ask it to locate duplicate entries (under one of the top menu items, "edit" I think), and then ask it to consolidate them: it took me all of three seconds after I figured it out: worked like a charm! PS: if you have more than one mac with unconected Address Books, repeating the operation in the second one may be a good idea.

I have enrolled for the apple developer program but apparently have the same account name in iBooks. I need to change the iBooks account but don't know how. Do I change my apple id? Will this cause me problems with iTunes etc etc?

I have enrolled for the apple developer program but apparently already have an account with iBooks, cant have this it seems.how do I change my iBooks account, is this the apple id for my iPad and if I change this will it cause problems accessing iTunes etc?

I guess nobody knows if the crash that occured was legitimate or not? Apple phone support could do nothing for me, so I guess I am left to drive 45 minutes to the nearest store.

Sure, but I meant he/she could sign up, and then see who is asking questions in the right sort of market area and potentially make contact that way ?

If you rented it on a computer, use the Transfer Purchases function in iTunes.
If you rented it on the iPad, no.

Installing BootCamp Driver on a non mac computer for debugging purpose

Hello, is it possible to install BootCamp Driver on a non mac computer in order to debug a software that is very slow on a Windows XP/BootCamp with MacBook Pro (I can't use the Mac computer for a long time, then I must test on my computer : a PC, not a Mac) : is it possible ? I tried to install Bootcamp 2.1 on a Windows XP SP2 on a PC, but the software quit after a while without any message.
Thanks for help, Patrice.

Hi Patrice and welcome to Discussions,
I admit I never in 20+ years tried to do what you try to accomplish but I would assume that a Windows driver would only install if the appropriate hardware device is present.
So, I don't think you can do this.

Best Mac Computer for Movies and Music

Hi, I am about to go into college as a music major and I am interested in buying a mac! I was wondering what would be the best Mac computer to buy to have the best music listening, creating, and mixing experience I could have. I am also interested in film. Is there a Mac that focuses just on certain creating aspects?

Hi Superman,
If you are going to college, you should check to see if your school has a computer deal with Apple. Some times you can get a pretty decent discount. If I were you, I'd lean towards the new MacBook Pro. Most up to date computer in the Apple laptop line, and as powerful as the G5 towers, just not as "upgradeable" (memory maxs out at 2 gigs I think). Garageband is a great program, but Logic Pro is 1000 times better (and has the learning curve to prove it). iMovie is a great video editing app for trters, but Final Cut Pro is the way to go on that end. External hard drives (at least 72900rpms) can improve your performance using any of these apps. In short, newest computer, maxed out RAM, external FW drive, and the best apps you can afford.
Have fun Superman!

Do I get discounts on a Mac, if I'm Apple Developer?

Hello!
I have a short Question:
If I sign up as an Apple Developer for the iOS Developer Program and pay the $ 100,
can I get discounts on the purchase of a Mac Mini?

Per previous discussions. Apple dropped such discounts years ago.

Help with registering for the apple developer prgram

I am interested to join the apple developer program for indiviual. I do not own a credit card so can i use a credit card on another name and get the account in my name as i will be the one using the program and creating applications. I will use a friends credit card with his consent to get the developer progrm from apple.. My question is is this possible to do?????

You can do this two ways.
First, you make use of the Java Native Interface. Write a native library for Windows that uses the .NET class, FileSystemWatcher.
This next one isn't the greatest approach. It's more a brute force way, but it still works. Write your own FileSystemListener class that gets a list of files, and checks the timestamp of it's last modification and compares the two.

I have been downloading Mountain Lion for MAC for over 4 hrs. and it seems to be stuck about 2/3 of the way through. I have a I mac that is only 2 yrs old has 8 GB memory and I updated all software, checked utilitie for any disc repairs andbacked up everything before I started this process. Can someone tell me what to do Right now the version is OSX 10.6.8.

Let it go... these DL's take forever, depending on the spped of your connection and the traffic on the servers.
If by morning it is still sitting there restart and the DL should pick up from where it left off.

HT1529 i want to watch my dvds on the television by playing them on my mac computer and using apple tv. hpw do i window share, or how do i import the movie to my iTunes?

I just got an apple tv and need helpin learning how to do the window sharing from my computer to the television. mirroring i think it is called. Additionally, how do i get dvds that i own into the itunes movie location so they will be 'selectable' on the tv? thanks for your feedback.

Ripping DVD's is not something that can be discussed here due to the legal rammifications.
If the Mac support AirPlay mirroring, simply play the DVD on the Mac and then use AirPlay to mirror the content to the ATV.
Honestly, a DVD player connected to the tv would be a simpler solution.

Best Mac Laptop for X Code Development

Hi,
I'm trying to make some ios Apps from the X Code. So what is the best Mac Laptop to use this for..
I'm expecting your kind response from yours.
Thank you,
Iranga.

Anyone should do the job.
However, when writing software, the larger the screen the better, as often times you have multiple windows open for different aspects of your development project (code, debugging, simulator, documentation, UI builder, etc...).
Of course if most of your development time will be done at a desk were you can setup an external monitor (an inexpensive 24" 1080p), then again any laptop would do. The asumetion being that you want the portability of the laptop so you can travel or surf the web while relaxing in a comfy chair (not actually working on your code).
Whatever you get, just get lots of RAM and sufficient disk space for your needs. Also make sure you have regular backups, as loosing a coding project is extremely painful, and the code you write to replace it never seems to live up to what you lost (first hand experience talking here). Also using a source code control system is useful. Checkin your changes on a regular basis, as sometimes coding changes do not work out the way you expected, and being able to go back to an older version is extremely helpful (also first hand experience).

Can i use 2 time capsule for the back of the same Mac computer, for improve the security of the data store

I will save my data in 2 time capsule at the same time for improve data security

Mountain Lion added this ability.. it doesn't do two backups at the same time but each time it backs up it uses the alternative location.
Under Lion you can manually set it to use a different target.. this isn't difficult but you must do it.
