Upgrade advice (8core to be or not to be)

Will a new 8-core Mac Pro with 6GB RAM / Leopard / Logic 8 Studio with 3 internal drives ((1) boot & apps (2) scratch (3) samples) be a major quality of life upgrade for me?
I do film and commercial music, generally pretty time sensitive and mission critical, which is why I'm waiting for a real sign. i've taken to doing most on my laptop (specs below), but I definitely need to edit and mix on a more powerful machine... sudden quits galore.
I generally start sketches in GB and then edit and mix in Logic Pro 7.
I am amazed at how quickly I get error messages and hiccups with > 8 instrument tracks and > 2 audio tracks. I rely on GB, Philharmonik, Wallander and Synful instruments. I rarely use any FX plugs other than the standard reverb and echo that default with any GB project.
Thoughts, especially from any proud Mac Pro / Leopard owners appreciated.

You broke it, so no.
You could send it here though...

  • TS1398 After upgrade to iOS 6 i am not able to use wifi.

    Connected, but no wifi traffic (at home).
    After upgrade to iOS 6 i am not able to use wifi. I am connected to my home wifi but no trafic is coming through (safari, skype, twitter, app store). I have even tried recovery of my iPhone 4S using iTunes as well as using iPhone. But without effect.
    Can not connect at all (at work).
    Thank you for helpfull advice.
    Vladimir
    Please do not give me advice like:
    switch proxy to auto
    turn the flight mode on and off
    turn the iphone on and off
    release the ip
    recovery the network settings
    recovery firmware
    I have tried all these, but did not work.
    PS to apple:
    I really did not expect this kind of trouble. If I would want to waste my time "repairing my device", I would buy an android phone!!!!!!

    This helped me solve the problem:
    I have changed the security from TKIP to AES and now my wifi works fine /sofar/.

  • ICS Issues after upgrade-This Ice Cream Sandwich is not very tasty

    Background: I received the  ICS upgrade last night and right away started having issues:.
    Issues:
    1 The downloading lasted several hours. I finally had to pull the battery and forced a reboot.
    2-Once I got on and started selecting different apps I noticed that Gallery or pic apps  and Music apps are having problems loading any of my files.  It constantly produces forced close statement.
    3-My battery is having difficulty getting to full charge. For the record, I didn't have any issues with my battery or apps prior to the upgrade install.
    Comments: I'm not too happy with the update. I didn't request this upgrade and  was happy with my phone just the way it was. In short; I had zero issues prior to this upgrade. .
    Questions:
    1-Am I the only one having these problems?
    2-Is Verizon aware and will they be providing a fix for all these issues?
    3-Is there somewhere I can get help with these issues?
    Venting statement: Would you guys please thoroughly test the upgrades before you send them out to the masses?
    Thank you for letting me vent. Now can someone please give me a workable solution?
    Signed: Not finding this Ice Cream Sandwich very tasty

    Well my first advice to you would be, when it asked you if you wanted to upgrade you could have said no.
    The update OTA I had found is or was just too many people trying to update or did not follow the update guidelines. Must have at least 40% battery on the device. Better yet it should have been plugged into the wall electric. No turning the phone off.
    I must say on my own update it was downloading slowly and taking over an hour just to reach 20% and then crapping out with a network error while downloading message.
    you can and should just use Verizons Upgrade Assistant to get your update. I went that route and it took 7 minutes to get the needed files on my computer, and another 9 minutes to have it auto install the update on my phone.
    please note do not turn your phone off even after the download finishes. Just keep it connected and on and it will scan your media card for photos, apps, music and make things work faster and better. you will note the phone will restart on its own when fully updated.

  • Upgrade Advice on an P7N Diamond

    Hey guys, I need some upgrade advice for the system in my specs.
    With the new generations of video cards, Dx11 is going to become ever more common in games. Within the next year I either need to upgrade my current system, or build a new one within the next 2 years.
    If I were going to upgrade my current system, I would raid0 my 3 250gb WD's, buy a 2tb internal storage drive, and purchase a NVidia GTX580 or ATI Radeon 6870.
    My questions are these:
    Does anyone see any problems raid0'ing 1 WD2500AAKS with 2 WD2500YS to decrease my boot times and load times.
    If there are no problems raid0'ing those drives, would the raid function built into my MB be able to handle those speeds without a bottleneck?
    Would my CPU as it is currently OC'ed be able to run a top of the line, next gen video cards without bottlenecking? That would be the major decision point in upgrading or building a new system.
    Will the proposed upgraded set-up be able to continued to run games in High and Max settings at 1680x1050 resolution without bottlenecking due to lack of CPU power and/or cores?
    What I do not want to do is buy a QX/Q9650 or equivalent because by the time I bought a new processor I might as well have just saved for a new system.
    Lastly, does anyone have any other suggestions?
    Thx Guys!

    Too early to ask questions which can only be known 2 years later. Your current setup is already very powerful and there's no need to go with the trend to get the latest stuffs.
    When time comes for you to upgrade, all hardware will naturally be made compatible with each other. 

  • HT204266 Why is it that after upgrading to IOS 6, I could not retreive my full list of my purchased applications & ganes list in the app store now !!!!

    Why is it that after upgrading to IOS 6, I could not retreive my full list of my purchased applications & ganes list in the app store now !!!!
    Whenever I try to tab my purchased in the update feature of app store; not only does the long list of my previous purchases do not showed up like in IOS 5 do but after a while it just prompt out to the main home page. I tried this for both my 3GS and 4GS too and both have the same problem. APPLE INC please rectify this serious problem as soon as possible.

    Did you read your other posted question, that has been answered.

  • After upgrading to Lion Image Capture does not work, even though it is intel software.  Gives error 9931.  What gives?

    After upgrading to Lion, Image Capture does not work, even though it is intel software.  Gives error 9931.  What gives?

    Ouch, if it is indeed damaged, then sadly you need to restore the whole danged huge OS!
    Didn't used to be this way before Lion/10.7.
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

    how can i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading to ios6? it could not activate....

    If your phone was previously hacked to unlock it, when you updated the hack was removed and it's re-locked to the original carrier.  The phone will now activate and operate only with that original carrier.

  • After upgrading to Mavericks my iMac does not see Sony camcorder in iMovie anymore. It still works on MacBook, so nothing wrong with camera or connections.

    After upgrading to Mavericks my iMac does not see my Sony camcorder anymore. I tried the new iMovie as well as the old version 9.0.9, which is still in Applications. I checked the camcorder and connections in iMovie on my MacBook (not upgraded) and that still functions properly, so the problem does not seem to be in iMovie, old or new, or in camcorder and connection.
    Anybody with the same problem or a solution?
    Thanks mbkom

  • After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading.

    After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading. I have no special software like numbers or anything else installed on either device. Just using the default viewer provided by apple for viewing email.

    The attachment is an .xls excel 97-2003 spreadsheet. I viewed the file in the email and did not edit it with any software. I can forward the file to anyone that is may want to check it out to see if they can help me. I was wondering if there was some way of forcing another ios6 install on my phone and maybe that would solve it.
    Is there anyone out there that is viewing .xls files in email using ios6 w/o any other software installed like numbers or any other add ons? I am not upgrading my ipad from ios5 to ios6 so I can still continue to view the emails on my ipad. Is there an email viewer .xls plug-in that will be availablle in the next ios6 update?

    Tried to upgrade os4 to os7 but could not due to "find my iphone" still turned on. 
    Could not turn it off at that stage so set up as new iphone.  Now icloud will only accept past id email address and password which i no longer have,
    but itunes on my phone has my correct current id and password.  I need to restore my back up from itunes, i did not use icloud.
    Any help please. 
    I did try yesterday but did not realise at that time that itunes had correct apple id.  Hopefully this is a good thing!

    Thank you for your prompt reply.
    I have looked at icloud.com/find numerous times and my iPad is not showing at all (see picture below). As I said I did turn off 'Find My iPhone' on my iPad and then erase all settings and data before taking it to the repair centre.
    The gentleman at the repair centre said that the device won't restore because "Apple thinks that 'Find My iPhone' is still turned on" (I'm repeating what he said).
