Switching to Mac: MBPr Questions!

Hey all,
So I've been a Windows user my whole life, but I've finally decided to switch to Mac after witnessing the beauty and grace of the 13" mac book pro retina that my friend just bought. It's astonishing. Plus, there's no better time to switch than when you have a 3 year old HP laptop and are in university.
Since switching to Apple is bloody expensive (nearly double the budget of what I usually spend on laptops), I want to carefully calculate my decision.
I know that the most recent MBP to be released was in October 2013, and it updated to Intel Haswell processors. BUT I also happen to know that Intel Broadwell processors are coming out within the next couple of months, and are said to be around 30% more efficient. Do any of you know if Apple has the tendency to regularly update their MBPs?
The reason I ask is because if there won't be an update to the MBP until October 2014, then I might as well invest in one now, but if there is a chance that a newer model will be released in the coming months, I'll definitely hold out until then!
Also, another couple of questions:
Without tweaking the MBP (by adding extra ram, processing power, etc...), how well will it run software like Ableton Live, as well as various games such as call of duty?
Thanks a bunch everyone,
Hopefully I'll also be part of the Mac family soon!

There will always be some kind of upgrade to the macbook pros every year. You shouldn't stress about trying to keep up with technology I have a 13" retina late 2013 and am very happy with it.
I did do some research and found out that Apple will not release the Broadwell processors until late 2014.

A $300 PS3 can run Call of Duty so of course a $1,000 +Mac will run it just fine. Ableton Live will run great.
If you are going to have lots of apps open, then the 4GB ram on the base model of the 13 inch might not be enough and I would recommend upgrading to 8GB ram or get the mid model 13 inch as it has more storage anyway.
I do not recommend getting the 15 inch as it would cost you over $2,000!

PC switching to Mac - software question.

I am switching from a PC to MacBook Pro...
I am not sure of the best newsgroup to put this in, but I will start with this one.
I have installed Parelles to run a particular Windows app; most others that I use have a mac version.
I have a considerable investment in Win software (i.e. adobe software, Office 2007 etc.). To get the mac version, do I just have to buy it and loose my investment in win software? Will software key numbers from windows work while installing a comparable mac version? My question is about mac software, not win software running under Parallels.
Please advise.
Bob

To get the mac version, do I just have to buy it and loose* my investment in win software?
No, you can either:
1. Ask if a crossgrade is available from the software vendor.
2. If none is available, sell the license for your PC software and buy a Mac software equivalent.
Will software key numbers from windows work while installing a comparable mac version?
That varies by software title. Some allow you to change licenses. Check with the software vendor.
There are some almost free and free equivalent software titles to Windows software available for the Mac**:
http://www.macmaps.com/crossplatform.html
- * Just for your information, the word is lose, not loose. It is an easy mistake to make, which I have in the past when I wasn't as familiar with English spellings and meanings.

Questions before I SWITCH to Mac...

Few questions before I switch to Mac (hoepfully when Leopard comes out)....
Currently I have a Dell XPS Media Center PC and a Vista laptop.
1. TV/DVR CAPABILITIES: I love using my PC as a tv tuner & DVR. Does mac have this capability? If I run Vista on the Mac will my Media Center, TV tuner, etc... run the same?
2. PDA SYNC: Will the Mac sync calendar & contat items with my Windows based PDA?
3. WEB DEVELOPMENT: I am a ASP.NET developer. Can I do this on a mac easily? If I have to use Windows on the mac to do this, can anyone speak on the performace?
4. SHARING FILES BETWEEN OS & COMPUTERS: Can I share files with other XP or Vista pcs I have in the house? Can I share files between the Mac and Vista OS on the SAME machine?
5. DUAL MONITORS: Does the MacBook Pro or iMac support DUAL monitors?
6. CS3 QUESTIONS: I'm thinking about purchasing Photoshop CS3, Flash CS3, etc... Can I install them onto the Mac side and the Vista side of the same machine?
Thanks! I was a PC lover, but now I'm turning into a MAC LOVER!!!!
Thanks everyone!!!

1. No way to tell. You'd have to install the card and the drivers too see if they work.
2. http://www.markspace.com/missingsync_windowsmobile.php
3. You'd have to install Windows if you want to develop for .Net
4. Yes and yes
5. Yes
6. You'd need to buy both Mac an PC versions of CS3

Switching to Mac

I am switching to Mac :-D and now I have a few questions that someone can help me out with a few iPod/iTune questions.
1) Will I need to restore my iPod so that it will be able to talk to the Mac. I believe I will but I want to make sure.
2) I have saved/export my library. However, I am left wondering will I be able to still use that library? Since it's going to have reference to a P:\ drive and following path?
Would it be possible to edit the XML file to reflect the new path? If this is the case I will have a follow up question.
3) Is there any thing else I should know?
Thank you

*1) Will I need to restore my iPod so that it will be able to talk to the Mac. I believe I will but I want to make sure.*
Macs can read Windows formatting so you should have no problem connecting your iPod to your Mac. One proviso is that up until now Apple has only fully supported using the iPod shuffle in FAT32 format on Mac (unless the range has been expanded to include the iPhone and the iPod Touch which I've no experience of). What this means effectively is that if you need to apply a firmware update for your iPod and you wanted to maintain the Windows format you would have to do it on a PC. If you were to try and update a Windows based iPod on a Mac it would be restored and reformatted to the Mac file system and have the Mac firmware installed.
*2) I have saved/export my library. However, I am left wondering will I be able to still use that library? Since it's going to have reference to a P:\ drive and following path?*

Word 2011 for Mac: Advanced question regarding the navigation pane--aka sidebar

Hi everyone--
I'm a new Mac owner, with a Macbook Pro 13" 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, with 8GB RAM, 256GB storage. I'm operating on the latest OS (Maverick), freshly purchased from the Apple store today (July 5, 2014).
Can you help me figure out if there is some way, in Word 2011 for Mac, to use the navigation pane (aka Sidebar) to click and drag entire sections of the document to a new location? This was basic (advanced, but fundamental) functionality in every version of Word I've used in recent years on Windows machines, and it is the critical reason I purchased Word instead of using one of a dozen free options. My job involves managing and editing large documents--from 2500 to 90,000 words--and the navigation pane/sidebar is crucial to my sanity.
Previously, I would open the navigation pane and it would show me the structure of my document based on the Heading types. I could click on a heading (say, a chapter title), inside the navigation pane, and drag it to a new location elsewhere in the document. So simple to rearrange the structure of large documents this way. Now, in the Word 2011 for Mac, I can call up the navigation pane (now called the "sidebar") and view the structure of the doc, but I can't actually click and drag anything in the navigation pane.
Other than this, so far my switch to Mac has gone swimmingly. I love the machine, and am amazed at how much cleaner and easier it is to set up than Windows machines. I'm so frustrated that I even have to interface with Microsoft any more, but this one piece of functionality is critical to me.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
Heather

Dear Heather,
I don't know the specific answer to your question.
But as a new Mac owner, you should make sure that you are using the very latest version of Word 2011 for Mac.
My recommendation, if you haven't already done this, is to open Word and do Help > Check for Updates from Word's menu, and install any updates Microsoft has released.
They typically issue updates once or twice a month.
Enjoy your Mac!

Switching to mac with CUBASE should I ?

Hi every one !
simple question :I'm a cubase lover but might want to switch to mac power book g4 latest ...
Is cubase run as good on mac , It's seems not too popular.
should I run cubase on a super tweeked audio pc ?
thank you all, mac lovers.
m.

I used Cubase for years, older VST/24 v.4.1r and was happy with it. I use Logic Pro 7.1 and am happy with it. I do notice a few little things I miss about Cubase (remember it was an older version): I can't open more than one Matrix Edit wndow in Logic (or haven't been able to discover how it can be done, if it can) and I really appreciated being able to work simultaneously in two Edit windows in Cubase; in Cubase, dble. clicking on a region where the progress marker was opened the region to that place, whereas in Logic it opens it to the beginning or some other place, but nevver where I want it to (Maybe there is a way, yet to be discovered.); in logic, if I accidentally dble. click on a midi note in the Matrix winow, the window is suddenly populated with data from what appears to be another midi region, possibly drums, or a mixture of crap not belonging in the window (fortunately, closing and reopening the window resolves the problem). I also really miss the poor tech. assistance I used to (try) to get from Cubase folk (though this may change now that they have changed hands through a buy-out). But I don't see how you could have a lot to complain about regarding either application. They both offer more than the average Joe can probably ever take full advantage of. Pick one, befriend it, and you'll be able to make plenty of hit music. Just be sure to have plenty of RAM and the latest updates.

Switching to MAC from Windows: How to open files in Office 2007 VMFusion?

Dear all,
Intro:
I switched to MAC and now cannot find the solution to a simple problem.
First: I need an Office 2007 PowerPoint FULLY compatible solution.
What did not work: IWork, NeoOffice, Office 2008 (this is not fully compatible with Office 2007 Files)
I also had problems with: Parallels (not stable, too many hangups), codeweaver crossover (office files do not even open sometimes, good idea but not suitable for serious office jobs)
Now I have VMWare Fusion with WinXP and Office 2007 as this seems to be the only truly stable and best solution to run Office 2007 on Mac
Question:
How to open files in Office 2007 on MAC VMWare Fusion easily?
It would be nice to spotlight the file and click and it opens in powerpoint or excel or word 2007 in Virtual Machine.
The only known solution to me is to use the Windows explorer to navigate to the file and then open it from Fusion WinXP. This is very cumbersome and honestly makes me think of getting back to a windows machine as I work with office frequently.
Thank you for your help.

Thank you for the quick reply.
Yes, I have Office 2007 installed. The problem is that to open files in Fusion virtual machine I have to use the windows explorer and navigate to the file to open it. Now that I have the mac I want to use the good feature of spotlight. So when I search and find the file I want to open I cannot click on it on the mac (or in finder) but I have to switch back to the virtual machine, locate the file again and open it from windows.
You might think - ok, why not skip the first step of using spotlight, and look up the file in windows explorer before anything else?
Correct, but I know from parallels that there is a file association possible to directly access the file in office 2007.
This does not seem possible in Fusion - So the question is whether there is a possibility on the mac to associate the file and to click on it in finder/spotlight and the office 2007 application in fusion opens the file. So far I could not find anything.
Thanks

Switching from mac to pc and syncing iphone

I am preparing to move from a macbook pro to a pc laptop. I have a first generation iphone that is synced over the air with exchange for calendars, email, and contacts. I currently sync with my mac for music through itunes.
I plan to install itunes on the pc, copy over the itunes library from the mac to the PC, and authorize my itunes account on the new pc and deauthorize itunes on the mac. After I do all this and plug my iphone into the new pc I am thinking that the iphone will be re-formated to work with the pc but that all my settings should be the same. Am I missing anything? I hope to keep all my settings the same on the phone and keep all my music.

Yeah, that's the first time I've heard that one (switching from Mac to PC). I know this doesn't pertain to your question, but why are you switching? I'm running Vista and my next comp will definitely be a Mac. In addition to AV, Antisypware, and a firewall, be sure to get a Registry cleaner and defragmenting program (unless you want to use the crappy one that comes with Windows). I'm looking forward to not having to spend so much time keeping Windows working right and money securing it.

Switching from mac to PC and using iTunes + iPod

I recently switched from PC to a Mac Mini. It's great, but I don't know how to move my music library from PC to Mac.
After that, what is the handling to do for using my iPod (previously used with PC) with my Mac now.
Thank you

Considering switching to Mac

Hello everyone, i have been a PC/Windows user all of my life, and am now very seriously considering switching over to mac. However, i have some questions first that i cant seem to find a direct answer to, and apologize in advance for asking things that might seem like a stupid question... so, here goes:
1. If i were to switch over to the mac version of Microsoft Office, could i swap documents i created in Word with PC's and vice versa(all of the rest of my families computers are PCs as are my schools)without any problems? Would whatever that answer is be the same for any other Office apps like PowerPoint?
2. Am I correct that Safari is an internet browser?
3. Does iChat come with the Macs, or is it a seperate program you have to buy?
4. In iChat, can i still instant message all of my friends who use AIM on a PC and still use my old screen-name if i wanted to? What if i wanted to create a new AIM screen-name? do i just go to AIM.com, make a new one, and use it in iChat without actually downloading the AIM program?
5. I currently have AOL on my PC but, of course, it *****, and i hear it is even worse on a Mac, so i would just use Safari, but can i still keep my old @aol.com e-mail address and access my e-mail through aol.com? and if i wanted to, could i create a new @aol.com e-mail address using this same method?
6. Will i still be able to watch all the online videos that run using quicktime/real player/windows media player, on my mac?
7. Am i right in assuming that i can network my new mac and my old PC in order to move my iTunes library (in AAC format)
from the PC to the Mac? Just for the record, none of the music that i purchased from the iTunes store is "Protected" anymore because i burnt it to a cd and re-imported it, however the videos and tv shows that i bought from them im assuming are still protected, so how could i move THOSE to a my new mac?
Once again, i apologize that I have so many questions that probably seem pretty stupid, but i havent been able to find direct answers to these specific questions
I also want to say thank you in advance for any help anyone can give me, sorry im such a clueless PC user, but, hopefully, with these questions answered, i will be able to happily switch to mac.

Hello,
switching over to mac. However, i have some
questions first that i cant seem to find a direct
I'll answer them as we go below:
1. If i were to switch over to the mac version of
Microsoft Office, could i swap documents i created in
Word with PC's and vice versa(all of the rest of my
families computers are PCs as are my schools)without
any problems? Would whatever that answer is be the
same for any other Office apps like PowerPoint?
Yes, all the documents will open and exchange between Microsoft Office for the Mac and Microsoft Office for the PC without trouble.
You can send and exchange them in either direction, and it will work fine.
My wife does just that with her computer. She uses Office for Windows at work and Office for Mac at home.
Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents move either direction without any trouble.
There is no Mac version of Access though.
Personally, I use the free NeoOffice program on my system:
http://www.neooffice.org/
It is also compatible with Microsoft Office. Everything exchanges back and forth in either direction without trouble.
I've exchanged a lot of documents with Office users who have PC's, and they've never had any trouble opening anything I've sent them, and I've never had any problems with anything they've sent me.
NeoOffice can also work with PowerPoint files as well. They've played just fine for me.
It exchanges / works with Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files.
2. Am I correct that Safari is an internet browser?
Yes. It is the standard browser on the Mac. I personally prefer it. And, it works with every page I've tried it with. I use it full-time.
But, there are also versions of Opera, FireFox, Netscape, and many others, for the Mac if you want to use something different.
3. Does iChat come with the Macs, or is it a seperate
program you have to buy?
It comes standard on all Macs. It's part of OS X.
4. In iChat, can i still instant message all of my
friends who use AIM on a PC and still use my old
screen-name if i wanted to?
Yes. You just enter your AIM screen-name when you setup iChat. And, it works as expected from there.
iChat has been designed to work just fine with AIM accounts, and will allow you to talk to other AIM users without any hassle.
What if i wanted to
create a new AIM screen-name? do i just go to
AIM.com, make a new one, and use it in iChat without
actually downloading the AIM program?
Yes. Just do it at their website. That's how I did it.
5. I currently have AOL on my PC but, of course, it
*****, and i hear it is even worse on a Mac, so i
would just use Safari, but can i still keep my old
@aol.com e-mail address and access my e-mail through
aol.com? and if i wanted to, could i create a new
@aol.com e-mail address using this same method?
If you're talking about using Safari to go to the AOL site and use their webmail interface to check your e-mail, then yes that should work just fine.
6. Will i still be able to watch all the online
videos that run using quicktime/real player/windows
media player, on my mac?
Yes.
There are Mac versions of all of those programs. Quicktime comes with all Macs. But, you can download the others.
Windows Media Player has been discontinued, but it still works and can be downloaded from Microsoft's website.
There is also a plug-in to play Windows Media Players in Apple's Quicktime Player.
7. Am i right in assuming that i can network my new
mac and my old PC in order to move my iTunes library
(in AAC format)
from the PC to the Mac? Just for the record, none of
the music that i purchased from the iTunes store is
"Protected" anymore because i burnt it to a cd and
re-imported it, however the videos and tv shows that
i bought from them im assuming are still protected,
so how could i move THOSE to a my new mac?
You should be able to find all you need on that here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173
Those directions explain how to move them using your iPod. But, you could use the same basic method to move them over the network. Just substitute copying through the network for the part that addresses copying them into and from the iPod.
The rest should be about the same.
I also want to say thank you in advance for any help
anyone can give me,
You're quite welcome. Glad to help

Might be switching to mac...help!

hello everyone, i just joined the discussions...i gotta say its awesome to see theres a big community of mac users that help each other...my congratulations for that, seriously.
i joined mainly because ive made up my mind in a 90% to buy an Mac Mini CoreSolo,80GB,512RAM,SuperDrive next week, that would be my first mac ever, after lots of years using pc's.
But i do have certain doubts about using a mini for some tasks, even though i already know multiple formats are compatible(phew!)
im not exactly an expert in computers, sorry if i ask silly stuff(or too many questions):
-does mac support torrent using/downloading?
-are there any mac-compatible p2p programs for downloading movies and music(such as eMule, morpheus, etc)?
-is mac compatible with any pc or emulated games? (winning eleven 9 is the one that im interested in)
-are there any mac based video players that support subtitles? if so, do they support .srt and .sub files?
-if i transfer my .doc files and .ppt files, will i be able to see them just like they were on windows? no strange symbols?
those are my questions... an answer for them would complete my decision of switching to MAC.
thanks everyone

Does mac support torrent using/downloading?
Yes, of course. There are a few bit torrent clients for apple
Are there any mac-compatible p2p programs for downloading movies and music(such as eMule, morpheus, etc)?
Yup again, There is limewire and others.
Is mac compatible with any pc or emulated games? (winning eleven 9 is the one that im interested in)
Many games have mac version (World of warcraft, Doom 3, Quake 4 etc. although i'm not sure about winning eleven 9). But get this (Drumrolls...):
With the new technology "Bootcamp" (A beta program for mac) you can run Windows XP (Without any restrictions) on a intel mac (Such as the solo)! At very fast speeds too!
Check it out here:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/
Bootcamp allows you to create a Windows Partition so you can run windows XP exactly as you would on a PC without any set backs or speed decreases. All it takes is holding one key (once xp is installed) to boot of the windows section of your mac.
Are there any mac based video players that support subtitles? if so, do they support .srt and .sub files?
I'm not 100% about this one, but you can download realplayer, quicktime, divx player and windows media player all for mac. I'm nearly 100% sure you can find a mac program to open those file types. Plus, if you can't find any media players for OSX you can use bootcamp and run the files in XP.
If i transfer my .doc files and .ppt files, will i be able to see them just like they were on windows? no strange symbols?
Once again, I'm not sure about this one (I don't even own a mac yet-Used to have a G3 (old mac), planning to also get a solo and did all the research you can possibly do about them, and my freind has one- Why i know so much).
With that being said there is Windows Office for Mac which i'm pretty sure lets you open .doc files and .ppt files without any restrictions or weird symbols. In fact, the office version on a mac is much better then the one on PC (Freind has it).
Once again if there is a restriction (Which i'm pretty sure there isn't), you can always bootup in XP and open the files there.
With that being said Applworks and iWork (The mac versions of office) are soooo much better so i don't think you'll be using office much once you get a customed to them anyways.
Hope that helps,
Great to here your making the switch,
I have yet to hear someone be dissapointed by switching to mac,
Good luck- keep asking questions i had a bunch before- now i'm helping answer other's questions,

Thinking about switching to Mac from Windows, Good Idea?

I've always had a PC and I've never really used or work with a Mac. I'm a little questionable about buying one. What all do I need to know about Macs? I plan on using it for college and personal reasons. I hardly do anything outside of my house with my laptop. I've got an iPad and an iPhone which is what lead me to buying a Mac. I've done some research myself, but I don't know whether the Macbook Air or the Macbook Pro would be better for my uses. Is it better to go for the 512GB flash storage or should the 256GB work out fine? I've got a lot of questions, so sorry in advance.
Thanks for the help!

Storage size depends on use. If you store a huge photo and video library, go with the 256GB.

Link aggregated between NAS and a switch: the Mac as a very slow access...

Hello,
in my Office we're working with Macs and PCs and all the data is on a NAS.
Here is our configuration:
NAS <-link1->Switch<-Link2->Macs or PC.
Macs are connected with AFP protocol (because SMB is very slow).
We want to use Link Aggregation between the NAS and the switch (with 802.3ad procotol) but when we do that all the Macs have a very slow access to the NAS. But all is OK with the PCs.
What can we do? Is there a problem with macOS X and link aggregation?
Thank you for your help.
Nicolas

Sorry, not sure what the question is exactly.
You must have an Xserve, or Ethernet cards capable of Jumbo Frames for one, I assume the Switch & NAS are capable?
Possible clues...

PC user switching to Mac. getting MBP tomorrow. What I need to know?

Hi everybody. I am switching to Mac finally after doing research on Mac. I am a PC user switching to Mac! Pretty excited to get my MBP 13' entry level tomorrow. What do I need to know as far as:
MBP 13', 2.4ghz, 4gb ddr3, 250gb hdd
Battery life - how long does it usually last until I have to replace the battery? Do I leave it plugged in all the time or only charge it when need to? I have an iphone 4 and I only charge it when it need to be charge. Never over charge. is it the same for MBP? Does apple offer any battery replacement plan after the 1year limited warranty? if so how much?
Memory - it comes with 4gb memory, would you recommend upgrading to 8gb or stay with 4gb for now?
Case- do you guys have any invisible shield clear protection on it, or what protection methods do you have, if any?
Thanks for taking the time to read and hopefully answer those questions. I just want to make sure I am doing the right thing as a first time Mac user and get the most out of my MBP..other advice and help are greatly appreciated. THank you for your time!

Depends on how you use it. Yes/no. You can't overcharge an iPhone. Can't overcharge an MBP. No replacement. Not sure how much it will cost.
Memory - it comes with 4gb memory, would you recommend upgrading to 8gb or stay with 4gb for now?
I recommend 8GB if you're doing anything heavy duty like photo editing. BUT, don't buy Apple's $400 version (and you can't get it at an Apple Store). For $100-150 you can do it yourself.
Case- do you guys have any invisible shield clear protection on it, or what protection methods do you have, if any?
Wouldn't waste your money.
