To buy a Macbook? Help me decide, please.

Hi Guys,
My 12" PowerBook G4 is getting a little long in the tooth, so I'm in the market for an upgrade. My choices are either the 15" MBP or the high-end white Macbook. The deciding factor is the dedicated video card in the MBP.
My question is about the performance of the Macbook with a 23" Apple Cinema Display. You see, I have a friend with a first-generation Macbook with 1GB of RAM and she recently hooked it up to my display in order to watch a quicktime movie. It was a horrible experience. The movie played fine, but if you tried to drag the window around or tried to interact with the OS, everything lagged. In short, the integrated graphics were inept. Way too underpowered to use with the external display.
I realize that the new Macbooks have updated graphics. Those of you that have new MBs and external displays, how is the performance? I routinely have 3 Creative Suite apps up at once along with safari, pages, mail, etc. I need to be able to use all these apps at once, switching between them flawlessly on a 23" display. I will not tolerate any lag or hesitation. (Dragging CS3 windows around must be smooth, expose must be instant and smooth, etc).
If I buy the Macbook, it will have 4GB of RAM, so I'm especially interested in the experience of those who have maxed out their memory. Thanks very much!

Yea, that's the same conclusion I've reached. The only downside is that I'm currently doing a massive publishing project that I could really use the power of a new MBP for. But with Montevina coming out in five months, it's just dumb to spend $3,000 at the moment.
Santa Rosa is not bad and the current MBPs are no slouches, but the new Montevina chipset with Penryn Core 2 Duos will really up the ante. Plus, Montevina brings built-in support for DisplayPort and it will be roughly 20% smaller, which means we might see a redesigned MBP at WWDC in June.
So the wait continues! Thanks for you help, guys.

Without knowing your current scores if they're close to your July scores then you risk a denial with the recent collection. Even if you're approved now your limit would be very low. Take the 6 months and let your scores rise some and try to get that collection removed. Your chances of approval will be much higher and result in bigger limits

Please help in deciding what to buy :S

Hey everybody, i really need an answer for a dillema. I'm currently plannig to sell my desktop and get a macbook pro/air laptop, but the thing is, with money i have i will be able to get a 2009 macbook pro model 15, 2.66 core 2 duo, 500 GB, 4 GB RAM and dual nvidia graphic cards 9400 and 9600 at best. I currently also have an iPhone 4S and the iPad 4 (for less than a month), and i'm thinking selling it as well and get one of the newest 13 inch macbook airs, because as much as i love the iPad, i think the new air is light enough to be used in similiar manner, while adding functionality. I primarily use my iPad for reading, web surfing, games, e-mails, some minor document editing as the touch keyboard can't really be used for long typing etc. I need your help in deciding as i've never used any Apple laptops and therefore i don't know how fast each model is. I don't plan to use it as a gamer laptop, though i might play games like DOTA 2, nothing more intensive. So, the main question comes down to, should i sell my PC and get a 2009 mac pro and keep the iPad, or sell both PC and the iPad and get a new air, to fuse both worlds (also, is the new macbook air really fast enough to substitute my 3.0 GHz dual core, ati radeon hd 5670 old PC, disregarding gaming?). Thanks .

OK, those are three very different computers, all very capable. The 17" is a very large, heavy machine so if one goal is to replace the iPad you would have a much less convenient machine to carry around. While it is still portable, you may find yourself not wanting to carry the weight around and end up looking at another iPad.
The 15" is a very nice machine, lots of expansion options. You can add more memory to take it to 16 GB if you need to do so. The info says it has SSD so you have excellent speed, but may want more storage space than that one offers. An external hard drive, which is hard to take with you, is a great option when at your home or someplace for a period of time. And external hard drives are relatively inexpensive. Take a look at those offered by OWC, I have three of their 2 TB Mercury Elite Pro drives.
Which brings us to the MBA...that is a very nice machine, Intel i7 processor is very good, enough ram to work well, and the 512 GB SSD gives a good amount of storage space. And it is fast storage. Some quote numbers of 5 to 7 times faster than a standard hard drive. And, of course, you could use an external hard drive as with the MBP if the Air is one of the models with a USB or FireWire port...you might want to check on that.
So, my view is the choice is between the Air and the 15" MBP...one can be expanded, the other is light and easy to carry. Both would meet your needs very well. The Air would be a closer in size and weight replacement for the iPad.

Should I buy a MacBook now? Please help!

My old Notebook just messed up, so I definitely need a new one quite soon.
I had a look at some MacBooks at the store and really liked them.
I would order it online at the Apple Store and choose a bigger harddrive (80gb), so it would definitely be a new built one.
But my main concern is: if I order a MacBook now at the Apple Store, will it eventually suffer all these symptomes that are mentioned here, especially the Random Shutdown?
Or can I assume that these things have been finally fixed by Apple, and newer models (mine would be week 40 or later) wont experience these symptomes?
I really need a new notebook, and as the estimated shipping time is up to 2 weeks, I should order asap.
But I dont want to get one of the last MacBooks that has The RSS.

I would buy it. I've had mine for 3 1/2 months and I think I just had my first random shutdown (don't worry, mine's week 21, an early build). I'm a little apprehensive about finding a place to fix it quickly in Europe, but this is by far and away the best notebook I've ever had, and that doesn't even say enough about it. I trust Apple to fix it, I know they stand behind the quality of their products, and the macbook has been so superior to anything I've ever used...
You should also remember that long-time Apple owners are used to quality approaching perfection, and they can be very demanding - not that there's anything wrong with that! But my previous two VAIOs made a habit of freezing, had loud, constantly-running fans, had letter keys that popped off at random, and the last one - which I used for 4 1/2 years before buying the macbook - had a nasty habit of giving my hands little electric shocks when I touched the palmrests! Even when it was brand new, I had to type with a towel between my hands and the palmrests to avoid pain! And I just accepted ALL of this, didn't even TRY to have it fixed, only sent it in for repairs when the hard-drive crashed, and when it came back from repairs with a crooked hinge, I didn't say anything but was simply glad they had given me the new drive without a problem.
I really think a week 40 is likely to be perfect, but if it isn't, I expect that Apple will work on it until any problem it has is fixed. I wish people would remember that PCs also crash and burn - far more commonly than macs - and when they do, you are generally on your own!

Lots of questions before buying a macbook pro..help please!!

So I am about to buy a macbook pro in the next couple of days with these specifications:
MacBook Pro, 15-inch
Part Number: Z0EZ
Backlit Keyboard/Mac OS - U.S. English
Accessory Kit
2GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM - 2x1GB
MacBook Pro 15-inch Widescreen Display
200GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200 rpm
2.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
SuperDrive 8X (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
After I get the computer I am going to upgrade to 4 GB myself (cheaper). This computer will primarily be used for video editing (I'm off to film school). Here come the questions!!
1. This is probably a really stupid question, but the 15 inch macbook pro has an isight right?
2. I am in need of an external hard drive (or two). I was thinking of getting 1 TB primarily for my video projects, and then another 250 GB hard drive for time machine. Are two external hard drives going to be too much for the computer to handle? What hard drive(s) do you recommend? Right now I am thinking a G-Tech 1.0TB Quad-interface hard drive and a 250 GB G-Tech hard drive (for time machine). Which leads to my next question.
3. I would love to use eSATA with my TB hard drive...but there aren't eSATA ports included on the macbook pro (I think). So i researched and found the 2-Port NitroAV eSATA II 3Gb/s Professional Express Card (34mm). This would work with the computer right? Is eSATA necessary or should I just stick with firewire? I'm attracted to it because I will be editing video with the computer and I would love the increased speeds but I'm afraid it will overwhelm the computer.
Okay I think that's it! Any input will be greatly appreciated! Thanks

1-yes
2-look at macsales.com, click on harddrives then all things fire wire. they have a lot of different drives ranging all the way up to a 2 tb setup (its 2 separate stripped raid set ups that are then mirrored against each other). they also sell some esata dives, not sure what size they go to but they hae them
fire wire 400 has some crazy top limit of drives you can chain together of like 40some odd so 2 will be fine, i have 2 running right now and no issues. i would suggest if you get the drives form OWC (macsales) you use the softraid program that comes with it.
3- you can get a pci card for the card slot which macsales also sells if you go though them so you dont have to go more than one place

Biggest screen out of the 4, not so great i3 processor (don't know if it makes much of a difference), plus risk of shipping from US and the product potentially having probems working in Australia in terms of compatabiliy, or for whatever reason..

If you want peace of mind I vote against imported C560. I am not sure C560 has worldwide warranty as first. It seems Idea and value AiO are not sold in Australia, so spare parts availability might be an issue in any case.
It looks nice, but overall engineering, cooling and (mechanical) parts quality is way behind ThinkCentre (M and E series).
If you are student, you can buy E73z at educational pricing directly from lenovo - the first option costs 863 or so then, not 899. If you will use it just for "normal" work, then i3 might be just fine (it is 100$ cheaper). Any M92z is also good choice (just CPUs are one generation old)
The M92z is now on sale on ebay for the next three days for $539. That is a heck of a deal assuming it is not refurbished. The only negative as Toruk mentioned is the processor is one generation old. But I have an i5 processor in an M90z and I use it for the exact same things mentioned in the original post in this thread. I don't have any issues.
The E73z is on sale on the Australian Lenovo website right now for $799. It comes with everything probably neede including an i3 processor.

Scared of buying a new Macbook - help!

Scared of buying a new Macbook!
I really need to buy a laptop due to a book I'm about to start writing, but after reading all the negative things on here about the new Macbook and Macbook Pro with overheating and this funny heat gel that Apple are dunking on the intel chips to try and stop them from overheating, I'm a little worried about spending my money on a new one and am more inclined to buy an older used iBook; perhaps a 6 month old one.
Okay, questions to put my mind at rest. I would rather have a more future-proof intel laptop, and I do like the widescreen resolution of the new Macbook as I can play back native 720x1280 progressive HD footage.
So, this dollop of heat gel, is it on the Macbook chip from the factory from new, or do Apple engineers just dollop this stuff on there when they get a overheating one returned to try and rectify the problem. If the latter is the case, surely this will only work until the gel dries up and stops having any cooling effect?
Will future Macbooks be sorted, if so, should I wait 3 months and by a revised rev-B type Macbook.
I've also read that the fans can rev loud.
I'm only asking as I bought one of the first iMac G5's and it was an overheating over revving disaster; so much so that I had to sell it on eBay after just 3 months as I could not stand it. I bought another one a year later that is fine; after Apple sorted the design problems out. I don't want to make the same mistake again.
Advice please.
Oh, I love Macs, I have 3 in the house, iMac G5, intel Mac Mini and Dual 2 gig G5 tower. So I don't need convincing. I have been using Macs long enough to know that Apple tend to have teething problems with new gear, but when they sort it, it is simply the best.
Thanks.

Hello, I can't answer all your questions, but just so you understand,ALL cpu chips (even the previous apple g4's and g5's), some video chips, etc. use the silicon grease as a way to carry the heat away from the chips to the metal heat sinks. Every computer ever made (well maybe not the original tube ones have this type of heat transfer technology in place so the chips don't melt down.
The comments about heat grease are mostly about how much was applied (with the belief that too much grease may not transfer the heat effectively), not whether or not it is needed. Recent articles on other web sites indicate that in some tests where the factory heat grease is cleaned and removed, then replaced with what some consider to be top notch grease, has only reduced the temperature of the case by 2 degrees. To be clear, this was for the macbook pros, where there seems to be even more concern by some about temperature.
By the way, this heat grease is designed to last longer than the computer it is running in. It does not typically dry out during the lifetime of the computer.
Should you buy the Macbook? Only you can decide if this makes sense. But there are a lot of other people on other forums (popular mac magazines, and rumor sites) who are quite pleased with the machine so far.
Personally, I would not buy a previous generation at this point.

Need help on deciding which Mac I should buy

Alright, so I have a very important decision I need to make and I really need help making it.
My two choices:
Choice 1: My first choice is that I have $1378 dollars to buy a MacBook. My choice is the MacBook air 13" with 128 GB hard drive, 8 GB Memory, and 1.7 GHz processor.
Choice 2: My Dad does not want his MacBook Air 11" base model from 2012. He is willing to give it to me. In return, I will give him the $1378 and he will buy himself a $400 laptop from that. Then he will buy me a 500 GB Thunderbolt hard drive and a thunderbolt to hdmi adaptor for the MacBook Air. The remaining money will then go to me.
Either choice I take, I need a computer fast enought to do serious video editing with Final Cut Pro and Multi-tasking. Also, it needs to last 3 years. Which choice should I take. I have one week to decide. Either way, my dad will pay for my Mac OS X Mavericks Update.

The processors in the new MacBook Airs are not that much more powerful than the 2012 models, the real difference is in the battery life. When you say your dad has the base model, I'm assuming that is the 4 GB RAM/64 GB SSD version. You would be cutting it close on storage space, but the external Thunderbolt drive would make up for that. 4 GB RAM is also cutting it close, especially for video editing, but I hear the flash storage on the MacBook Airs helps compensate for that.
If it were me, I would go with option 2, considering you should have a pretty good chunk of change left over once your dad buys his laptop and your Thunderbolt accessories.

Step 4: Install the Boot Camp Drivers for Windows
After installing Windows, install Mac-specific drivers and other software for Windows using your Mac OS X installation disc. The Mac OS X disc installs drivers to support Mac components, including AirPort,built-in iSight camera, the Apple Remote, the trackpad on a portable Mac, and thefunction keys on an Apple keyboard.
The Mac OS X disc also installs the Boot Camp control panel for Windows and theApple Boot Camp system tray item.
To install the Boot Camp drivers:
1 Eject the Windows installation disc.
2 Insert the Mac OS X disc. If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
3 Follow the onscreen instructions.
If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.
Windows that appear only briefly during the installation don’t require your input.
If nothing appears to be happening, there may be a hidden window that you mustrespond to. Check the taskbar and look behind open windows.
Important: Do not click the Cancel button in any of the installer dialogs.
4 After your computer restarts, follow the instructions in the Found New Hardware Wizard to update your software drivers (Windows XP only).
5 Follow the instructions for any other wizards that appear.
6 Check for updated Boot Camp drivers by using Apple Software Update or going to www.apple.com/support/bootcamp.
If You Have Problems Installing the Device Drivers
If it appears that the Boot Camp drivers weren’t successfully installed, try repairing them.
To repair Boot Camp drivers:
1 Start up your computer in Windows.
2 Insert your Mac OS X installation disc.
3 If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
4 Click Repair and follow the onscreen instructions.
If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.
If you need to reinstall specific drivers, you can install one driver at a time. For example,if your built-in iSight camera isn’t working, you can reinstall just the iSight driver.
Individual drivers are in the Drivers folder on the Mac OS X installation disc.

Please help me! My MacBook was stolen along with an external hard drive that had all my photos of my children on them. I hadn't backed to iCloud or backed anywhere else. I am distraught. No find my mac either...help...please... Some programmes are still running like drop of and Skype... Is it all over?!?

Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

Not only would it be safe but less expensive as well. The tray loaders are deemed to be the most reliable. Apple does not support Blueray so avoid that.

Since I d/loaded iCloud I can't sync my MacBook to my iPhone,,,,please help.

Since I d/loaded iCloud I can't sync my MacBook to my iPhone,,,,please help.

Video podcasts have to be in SD format, not HD. Make sure you select the proper version for your touch. If you still have problems, you can click on the podcast in iTunes and select Advanced > Create an iPod or iPhone Version. That should convert the video into something that can be played.
As far as syncing audio podcasts (I do this for video as well), I use the simple is better approach. I set iTunes to sync all unplayed podcasts and I set each podcast in iTunes to automatically delete played podcasts. The iPod is clean; iTunes is clean.

That's a fine machine and, with 8GB of RAM and 512GB flash storage should serve you well for light video/photo editing as well as for 'normal' usage. And it should last you for years to come.
Good luck in making your decision!!

My Macbook Air broke. Please help me, Russian Apple Customer Support don't want help me. I'm in despair.
Hi, I bought my MacBook Air in your store. In the summer of 2012. My mac is included in the program MacBook Air Flash Storage Drive Replacement Program. I live in Russia. I called the Russian support Apple. They told me to bring mac to an authorized service center. An authorized service center I was told to wait 45 days of the new flash storage drive. It's very long for me. I can `t wait long. I work on a Mac. I do not have another computer. Russian support Аpple does not want to help me. Can you help me? Serial number my MacBook Air : c0*******rvc

Leaving you without a computer for 45 days isn't acceptable. Call Apple and ask for a loaner or replacement. Some people have been receiving them.
If you still have no luck, then consider getting a USB 3.0 HDD and installing and running OS X on it until the replacement part is in.

To buy a Macbook? Help me decide, please.
