Upgrading my Pro

I bought a late 2008 Mac Pro (its the fully aluminum kind) and it came with 2 GB of memory, 2.4 GHz and 150 GB capacity. While I have an external hard drive, I'm always having to pull stuff off my laptop onto there. I was pursuing the Apple website and came upon this 1TB SATA Hard Disk Drive Kit for Mac Pro. However, it says its for early 2009 models. Does anyone know if that is compatible? If not, any suggestions on what I should (or can) do to add more space?
I also plan on upgrading to 4 GB of memory.
Thanks in advance!

I would suggest doing some research on various brands and models before purchasing. You will find reviews and benchmarks at Bare Feats, Storage Review, and Tom's Hardware Review. Also visit the manufacturers' web sites to look at their specs for their notebook drives.
The main manufacturers are Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, and Fujitsu. Since there are literally dozens of drives or different sizes and speeds you will need to decide exactly what size and speed you want. Notebook SATA drives are available in sizes up to 500 GBs, and have rotational speeds of 5400 or 7200 RPM (the latter is faster.)
A couple of places to purchase drives are:
MacSales.com
NewEgg.com
Buy.com
Best Buy
And there are many other online vendors. I would definitely shop for the best price once you have decided what make and model drive you want.

Upgraded to pro X and having issues with form created in pro 9

I created a form in LiveCyle using Pro 9, the form was created for an employer who had to buy Pro X so I was upgraded to Pro X. Here are the issues I am having, This form was the first time I have ever created a form and I have never used Java Script so there is no scripting involved.
1) With Pro 9, if I opend the form with adobe instead of LiveCycle I could delete pages. Now with Pro X I can not however I can delete pages in PDF's that I did not use LiveCycle on. How do I enable exert, delete, insert, etc....
2) I was told that with Pro X it was possible to set the form so that when it's emailed back to the employer after being filled out, it could be secure. I have not been able to figure out how to set that up. The employer needs to receive the completed PDF as a PDF with the information that was input secure (socials, etc... ). If I set up an email button the employer receives a list for information and that does not work for them.
3) The employer would like to have a few fields that they input in the form then secure them or make them read only so the employee can not modify. I know how to do it design mode but it prevents them from being able to input the information they want (employee number for example).
Java Script is totally foreign to me as I am not an IT person I am a novice computer user that is self taught. If I am going to have to learn this, can anyone suggest a website or book for beginners?
Thank you for any help you can provide....
Heather

Hi Heather,
There are a few things going on.
Firstly, forms that are created in LC Designer are fundementally different to native PDF documents. LC Designer forms are known as XFA Forms and are placed in a PDF wrapper, so that they can be opened in Acrobat/Reader. However a lot of the normally editing options (like deleting pages) that you can perform on a native PDF, you cannot do on an XFA Form.
You can set up the form to be emailed back and there are a number of options. The example here (http://assure.ly/dYQFb4 and http://assure.ly/hM2A5y) looks at the standard Submot by Email button down to custom buttons, depending on the functionality you need/want.
One of the things you need to bear in mind is that for users with Reader to be ble to submit the form back as a PDF, it first needs to be Reader Enabled. This is something you can do in Acrobat before you send out the form, but there are license restrictions. See here . http://assure.ly/etkFNU.
You can set up a solution that locks the fields in the form, prior to submission, but you are getting into scripting. There is an example here: http://assure.ly/yDtfsM.
When it comes to resources... see my recommendations here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4186925#4186925.
I hope that helps,

I thought I upgraded to Pro, but my account shows both Basic and Pro. How can I upgrade to Pro and cancel Basic without losing my forms?

You need MS Office 2011 if you've installed Lion. Previous versions of Office don't work with Lion.

I use Pro Logic 9 and see that to upgrade to Pro Logic X I need to buy the full package again. Does apple offer special conditions for their Apple clients ? Are users of apple care protection plan better served ?

Old saying applies here most of the time......
"If it ain't broken, don't fix it"
I choose to use LP9 with Snow Leopard myself (10.6.8 and 9.1.6) for most of my commercial work simply because I find that combo very stable and provides the best overall performance for my setups here... but I am also using LPX with Mavericks as part of my client support and that works fine too although with a drop in performance due to the heavier demands made on the hardware by the newer OS X and LPX graphic routines for example..

I have had this problem for close to a year. I have an Extreme base station, two Airport Express's and multiple G4 Mac's with up to date software. I have spent a huge amount of time trouble shooting, resetting, reapplying software and finally calling Applecare without any help. It would be great to get this problem solved.

Can i upgrade premier pro CS3 to work on win 8.1

Can I upgrade premier pro cs 3 to work on win 8,1....
Terry

There are no updates for CS3 to work with Windows 8.1. Having said that, I'd expect it to just work anyway. Unlike Mac OS, the Windows OS is extremely compatible with older software. It's a very rare occurrence when an older program just won't run.
This may actually be one of the biggest flaws with Windows. It's so ubiquitous that complete overhauls under the hood would break too many programs, and so we never get a truly revolutionary upgrade (like the complete removal of the registry, one of the worst ideas ever implemented in an OS).

Want to upgrade to Pro from Standard.

I have Acrobat XI Standard and want to upgrade to Pro. I can't find any info on their website as to how to buy this upgrade. Help?

It's only some 13" 2010 models that can handle 16GB... for the 15"+ only 8GB.
Be certain to purchase the correct RAM for your machine. Crucial and OWC are the brands that most of us rely on.
Good luck,

Do Apple Stores stock upgraded MB Pro's?

Hey I was wondering of anyone knows about an Apple Store which stocks an upgraded MacBook Pro.
I'm after the 15" i7 with the 7200 rpm HDD and Hi Res glossy display upgrade.
But a friend of mine ordered the exact same spec online yesterday and the estimated shipping date is 20th Sept and delivery date of 27th.
I know they have to build it first then ship it from China, but that's way too long.
So does anyone know if any Apple Store stock upgraded models at all or offer a hard drive upgrade in store?

They stock basic configurations of each model. They do not stock models that require online modification. Those are called CTO - Configured To Order - orders. Those must be ordered online.

After upgrading macbook pro from mountain lion to mavericks computer performance slowdown

Fixing a Mavericks Installation Problem
How to manage a failed OS X Mavericks installation | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews.
Try these in order:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
     after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
     Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Windows 8.1 on Envy 17 upgraded to pro.. refresh / reset no longer works

hi peeps
i was testing out the refresh and reset options when i first got the laptop they worked like normal.. then i upgraded to pro via control panel/add features to windows
the refresh and reset options no longer work.. how can i edit those functions to point to recovery partition

Hi @icp_wolverine
I understand that after you upgraded to a Windows Pro version and you are no longer able to do a system refresh or Microsoft restore.
If you did not overwrite the recovery partition when you did the upgrade you should be able to do a system recovery using the recovery manager.
Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 8)
If you did overwrite the recovery manager and you created recovery CDs then you can use them to recover your system.
If you are unable to do any of the above suggestions, please contact HP support and inquire about obtaining a recovery kit for your notebook.

Is there a Standard free trial? If not, and I buy Standard but it's not enough, can I upgrade to Pro without paying full price?

Is there a free trial for Standard?
I tried the Pro trial but don't want to buy it if the cheaper Standard does what I need.
The comparison chart doesn't answer my question about the specific functionality I'm looking for.
If a trial isn't available, and I buy Standard but it's not enough, can I upgrade to Pro without paying full price?

Hi Barry ,
Unfortunately there is no free trial for Acrobat Standard.
You can purchase the Standard version ,and if it does not suit your requirements ,you can return that back to us and opt for the Pro version.There is a 30 day return policy .
The reason being there is a price difference between the Standard and Pro version for Acrobat .

Since installing Premiere Pro CC 2014 upgrade, Mac Pro jumpy video and freezes constantly

Since installing Premiere Pro CC 2014 upgrade, Mac Pro jumpy video and freezes constantly. Worked perfectly before. Anyone else finding these issues? I'm running a quad core Mac Pro, so it's definitely not the hardware.

I've maxed out the memory assignment, but this isn't a memory problem per se.
It looks like certain Premiere Pro conditions are associated with a huge increase in kernel_task memory, zeroing out any available free memory. In my case it seems to be associated with effects applied to titles or jpgs or imported psd (Photoshop) files.
Program restart pulls kernel memory back to the 1.3gb normal size.
Here's where I am at startup:
