  • What MacBook Pro do you all recommend me to buy? 13 inch or 15 inch?

    I'm a college student who is majoring in criminal justice and would soon like to switch over to Mac for the first time. I'm the type of person to rather pay more money in one shot then buying a new Mac every year. For example let's say if I buy the $1,999.00 MacBook Pro model with retina display, its understandable that the price is a bit high but like I mentioned before I'm the type to pay a lot in a one time payment then buying a new Mac every year. Mainly I will be writting papers, editing, reading; etc. No graphics, music, producing, remixing, video; etc. Just school and personal work. Please help me out here if its worth the investment of $1,999.00.
    Thank you!

    Go to a computer store and try both the 13" and 15". Both will do your tasks so the decision is left to which one you like working on more. Will the tiny display bother you when writing papers or will the 15" not be portable enough for you?
    Another consideration when buying an Apple computer, are you sure the papers you write will be 100% compatible with your professors' tools and will you be 100% compatible with other students for collaboratively working on projects? You don't want to spend a lot of time converting documents between Office versions and you want to make sure your professors can open your documents without loosing formatting.

  • As a second browser, what do you all recommend?

    Firefox?
    Camino?
    Opera?
    other?
    What do you all suggest as a second browser in addition to my faithful Safari for use with Tiger?
    Thanks,
    Mrs H

    I've recently switched over to Firefox from Safari, which I'm using pretty exclusively now, only because you can run an add on from there called NoScript. NoScript prevents many potential web based exploits and keeps ad and data tracking services like doubleclick and others out. And as a default, which can easily be changed per site, it also keeps out Flash (and annoying Flash ads). NoScript can be a bit of a pain to get used to at first. But It learns your preferences as you visit sites, and after a while pretty much gets out of the way. It can still be a little annoying, but it's worth it.
    http://noscript.net/
    The other add on I run with FF is called WOT or Web of Trust which rates sites according to several different criteria. It gives you some idea what you might be getting into so you can be forewarned. It will even show ratings for sites resulting from a Google search.
    http://www.mywot.com/
    There's also available an add on called AdBlock Plus, maybe not quite as important as the other two, but I also run it.
    Many are also of the opinion that Firefox is just a safer browser than Safari and that Apple is slow to implement fixes for known or potential exploits.
    If only these, or something like them were available for Safari, which I still basically prefer. Safari does seem to run a little faster than Firefox for me. It all seems to depend on the particular configuration which browser will run faster. But I've decided that safety trumps speed.
    It's a little inconvenient, but it doesn't take that long to move passwords over from Safari manually. Just open up Keychain and look at them there. You can also, automatically, import all your Safari bookmarks.

    CrashPlanPROe, the enterprise version, is $60 per year per client, not $50 per month, so it may be worth looking into. It's what we run and it's been working very well for us, though you need a central server to run the software. That server can be Windows, Mac OS X, Linux or Solaris, any of which will work with any of the supported clients:

  • N8-00 What the hell are you all complaining ...

    I got my phone for 12 days now and is a very happy customer.
    Most of my mates have Htc Desire or Samsung Galaxy or i-phone. Not one of them have a truly perfect phone to do everything. In fact everyone has some gripes and frozen application at one time or another. None of them are using a true multi tasking processor like the current intel chips or amds in current pcs.
    So I accept my phone with the current limitations of mobile phone technology.
    Indeed I am perhaps lucky?
    My phone have not crash since I reinstall using the ovi sync software. Everyone compliments on how good the phone connection is! The web surfing is so easy and attentive to asking which server it should be connected when I am at other unfamiliar places.
    Sure, my N8-00 is never going to impress the kids with imaginative and eye catching animations available only from the i-phone but what the N8-00 does for practicality is truly great. Next time for those with barrages of complaints (real or fakes quite likely from competitors I believe), try competing brand phones in real life situations and places, not just at the shop!  The Nokia is genuinely a very dependable smartphone.
    The only other person I know who also has a Nokia N8-00 is so contended with his phone after getting used to it. Cheers Nokia! 
    Sydney, NSW

    I'm am genuinely really glad to hear that there are in fact happy N8 owners. 
    When my currently dead N8 gets replaced I hope to join you in your words of praise! Until then all I have to go on is my experiences so far & they ain't good. I don't work for any other phone manufacturer & up until now have had no interest in owning either a HTC or iPhone, let s see how i get on with the new unit once it comes off of backorder. If it's good I'll sing it's praises also, if it's bad i'm off else where.
    Hope your experiences continue to be good ones.

  • What guitar distortion do you guys recommend if I want to get a Jimmy Eat World sound in Logic Pro?

    I am looking for a nice Alternative Rock sound comparable to the likes of Jimmy Eat World, saosin, etc... Looking for this sound in Logic pro and just need help. Any answers?

    You are better off getting a dedicated gaming box for gaming than using a Mac for heavy gaming.
    Unless you go with a top of the line iMac with just about all of the optional components, Macs do not make great heavy gaming machines. Plus, a gaming box is sooo much cheaper than a Mac for gaming.
    For using Logic, I would just go for the 21 inch screen iMac and get it with the optional  full 16 GBs of RAM and optional i7 CPU and, if you can afford all of the options, get this iMac with the optional Fusion drive, too!
    The combination SSD and hard drive in the fusion drive will help make up for the slower 5400 RPM drives that they are putting into only the 21 inch screen models.
    With this configuration, this iMac would last you, at least, 5 years.

    I use the same unit as Nolanscott.
    The menus that FCP X has are pretty basic but the quality is good.
    If you want to play back Bluray on your Mac you will also need Bluray Player software.
    I use this and it works fine:

  • What flash version are you all using? (RE:Browsing and Performance)

    Curious if anyone is having any luck sticking to older versions of Flash or earlier versions of firefox/safari/camino?
    My Powerbook is mainly a browsing/reading machine now, but even the odd embedded clip will take ages to load, and playing simple games on youplay will push the cpu usage pretty high...

    My Firefox uses Flash V10.0 r12 and works fine.

    Does the regular Firefox 8 release version work or does the version crash as well?
    *Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • What system utilities do you recommend?

    Hi,
    I am a new switcher to Mac.
    Can you please recommend what system utilities I should purchase and which brand I should purchase.
    The ones I want are :
    1) I need an anti-virus program (I know there are no real problems on the Mac with virus's, but it is better to be safe than sorry!)
    2) A firewall. (Is the one that comes with Mac OS X good enough or should I use a commerical one?
    3) A Backup program
    4) A Disk utility program
    5) A general system utility program for system maintenance
    I would be really grateful if you experienced Mac users could give me advice on this matter.
    Thank you for your help. I look forward to your responses.

    Hi, Lucky Luxy.
    Here are my recommendations, in order corresponding to your list:
    1. re: Anti-virus: See my "Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware" FAQ for my recommendations as well as a list of some recent Mac OS X security threats that have emerged, including Trojans, rootkits, and spyware. The FAQ also addresses some of the usual arguments against installing an anti-virus solution on a Mac that often arise in discussions of this topic.
    While some believe that anti-virus solutions are not required on a Mac, I feel that's ignoring the fact that threats are emerging and that security exposures continue to be found, albeit eventually closed, in Mac OS X, as in any other operating system. Even Apple now recommends that one should "check for viruses."
    2. The firewall included with Mac OS X is "industrial strength." No need for a third-party firewall product.
    3. A comprehensive Backup and Recovery solution is essential. Computing without a comprehensive Backup and Recovery solution is like driving without auto insurance. If you don't have a Backup and Recovery solution that you're using regularly, you're essentially accepting the risk that at some point all of your data may be lost. For advice on the backup and recovery solution I employ, see my "Backup and Recovery" FAQ.
    4. re: Disk Utility. I recommend having both Alsoft DiskWarrior 4.x+ (DW4) and Micromat TechTool Pro version 4.x+ (TTP4).
    While both can build a new, optimized directory for a disk, I have found there are some disks that only DW4 can repair. DW4 is a "specialist" in disk directories.
    Likewise, TTP4 brings a host of useful hardware testing routines that are neither in DW4 nor the Apple Hardware Test. TTP4 also includes an excellent disk defragmenter. Defragmenting is generally not required under Mac OS X 10.3 or later unless you perform an extensive amount of video editing or your disk is nearing full, in which case it may be useful. See Mac OS X: About Disk Optimization. TTP4's Surface Scan is also useful in determining if a disk has developed bad sectors.
    If one owns neither utility today, the initial investment may seem like a good deal of money, but compared to your data and your time, the cost of these utilities is insignificant in the the long run. I've found their upgrades to be reasonably priced for what they do.
    Neither utility is a substitute for a comprehensive Backup and Recovery solution. But I've seen DW4 save more than one person's bacon and the suite of hardware tests and additional functions TTP4 bring to the table make both a worthwhile investment.
    If one could only purchase one now, I'd recommend they purchase DW4, then later add TTP4 when funds permit.
    Better to have the tools and not need them, than to need them and not have them.
    A good mechanic has more than one kind of wrench in their toolbox.
    5. re: General Maintenance: See my "Maintaining Mac OS X" FAQ. It covers my advice on "regular maintenance" and dispels some common "maintenance myths."
    Finally, since you are new to Mac OS X, you may benefit from some of the educational resources I recommend in my "Learning About Mac OS X" FAQ.
    Good luck!

  • What Mac specs would you recommend for a CS major (GHz, Flash Memory, etc)?

    So, I'm starting college in the fall as a computer science major. I have decided to choose a Macbook Pro with Retina Display as my weapon of choice. The only remaining questions I have before I order pertain specifically to GHz and Flash Memory. I saw that for about $250, you could upgrade your processor from 2.7 GHz to 2.8 GHz, and for $400 extra you could upgrade your flash memory. To be honest, and this is an embarrassing confession for a CS student to make, but I really have no clue what either of those things do to the computer, and what impact they have. Before I ask you what you'd recommend, let me give a little more information.
    Because I'm a CS major, the kind of work I would most likely be using the computer for involves creating iPhone apps, building websites, and building desktop apps using Cocoa or Qt. Now, I'm not sure how big these project files usually are on Macs, but I have done some programming before on Windows and know that they do have the ability to get rather large. My previous programming environments have included a Windows 7 Lenovo desktop PC with 1 TB of internal memory, and a Dell laptop running Linux Ubuntu with 2GB of internal memory and a  2.26 Intel Core Duo processor (runs much slower..).
    So, I guess my ultimate question is, is the extra $250 or $400 really worth it? Would I be able to get by without spending all the extra cash?
    Oh, and as for screen resolution, I was thinking 15 inch, due to the fact that this will most likely be my primary computer at college. Is that a good call as well?

    The CPU upgrade is only worth it for applications where the CPU is specifically the bottleneck. These days, not many are. The amount of RAM, the GPU, and the speed of storage often play into overall application speed.
    You might want to check with upperclassmen in your program, though, because it is possible that some programming environments might benefit from it when compiling or something.
    But for most people, $250 for another 0.1 GHz is a bad deal. On the 15-inch it is paying 9% more to boost CPU by just 4%.
    If the storage starts at 512MB, that is a lot of space for most people. The $400 is for SSD storage which is expensive (compared to traditional spinning hard disks) so you'd better need it. The two questions to ask yourself are, do you need to carry everything around all the time, or can you keep some on an external drive? Because $400 would buy you a 4TB external drive with money left over. The second question is does that storage need to be SSD fast? If yes, then maybe the upgrade is good. If no, then you'd paying a lot more for much faster storage than you need.

    15 inch is a screen size, not a screen resolution. One way to think about it is, do you expect to be using one screen-filling window at a time, or seeing lots of app windows at a time? The 13-inch is a better size for single window work, but the 15-inch is better for spreading out your workspace with multiple windows and panels.

  • What version of windows would you most recommend using?

    what version of windows would you most recommend using?
    XP Home, XP Professional, Vista Home, Vista Business?
    I see that XP takes up 1.5GB versus Vista's 20GB. XP uses 128MB Ram versus vista 512MB.
    It would seem like XP would run faster and take up less space... but is it the best choice? Thanks for the suggestions.
