What I do on my iMac is:
Gaming, Maya, After Effects, Nuke, Photoshop, Boujou, Realflow, 3DS Max (soon)
Most of the time working with heavy 3D and Videos.
I wanted to buy other 4GB Ram, and a Quadro 4000 (but its for Mac pro).
My idea was (or still is) to buy a Mac Pro and expand my iMac capacity (processors, Ram, etc, but no one has answered me if i can do that), or else I was thinking if I can buy the Mac Pro and transfer my iMac stuff to it, then use the iMac monitor as a display of the Mac pro just while the iMac sells and then just buy a monitor (but again, no one has answered me if I can do that too)
Please solve my questions

    Original Apple TV had a hard-drive, and has been discontinued for quite some time.
    ATV2 is a streaming only device, smaller, and use less power. It is also now discontinued
    The current model, ATV 3, has a better chip allowing for 1080P playback.

  • Extend the distance between Mac Pro and display

    I'd like to know how to extend the distance between my Mac Pro and its Cinema Display. The Mac is early 2008 as is its display I think. I need a distance of about 5metres.

    yes-get a DVI Dual Link Extension cable M/F or M/M. I think you can get 'em around 25 feet max. then you'd need a gender changer, maybe......
    depends what you want to pay, though.*cough* monoprice*cough*
    just my opinion

  • What is the diffrence between K7T266 Pro and Pro2?

    What is the diffrence between the pro and the pro 2, besides the pro2 being red and having the link lights. Upto what CPU and what type can the pro 1.0 handle? Also, can it be moded to fit a better cpu? Anyone know?
    -Nick

    Pro has the KT266 chipset
    Pro2 has the KT266A chipset
    KT266A has improvements that increase performance, and the Pro2 can be modified to fit Thoroughbred CPUs.
    The Pro (KT266) can only accept up to the Athlon 2000+ palomino.  Also, overclocking the FSB disables USB; this was fixed with the KT266A.

  • Bridging the gap between Mac Mini and iMac

    Does anyone agree that Apple needs to add another model between the Mac Mini and the iMac? I think they need something like a Mac Mini Plus. Two models, one with the 1.83GHz Core Duo and one with the 2.0GHz Core Duo. The unit itself would be slightly larger than the standard Mini and include a PCI Express slot with several video card options and a faster (7200RPM) hard drive. Personally, I hesitate to buy an iMac because of the built in monitor. I would prefer to buy a separate LCD flat panel monitor that I could keep for years and use with different Mac models as I upgrade. As for the current Mac Mini, it's video and processor options are on the low end, albeit perfect for the casual user, but for someone that wants to do some gaming or video editing, they don't quite cut it.
    Don't get me wrong here, I love the elegant design of the iMac, but I think Apple needs to offer something that allows us to have the iMac equivalent computing power without the built in monitor and without having spend a thousand more on a PowerMac.
    Athlon XP 1800+   Windows XP Pro  

    Yes, I'd love something in the form of a Mac Mini that was closer in spec to the iMac.
    Honestly, the only reason I won't buy an iMac CoreDuo is the built-in monitor.
    And, the only reason I won't buy a new Mac Mini is that they are underpowered.
    I have owned two iMac G5 systems, and both had serious faults with their built-in LCD panel.
    The first would permanently etch in anything on the screen for every hour of intensive use.
    It wouldn't etch it in in normal use. But, if I did any of my audio work, it would heat up the system so hot that the image on the screen would literally cook into the LCD panels plastic surface.
    It literally looked like you took a razor blade, and precisely carved the exact image into the surface of the screen. Pretty nasty looking. Nothing would get rid of it, and it would happen every time I did my audio editing / processing work for an hour.
    Naturally, the more work I did, the worse it got. I only got two editing sessions out of an LCD panel before having it replaced.
    After going through that for a while, I sold the system after having a fresh panel installed under warranty.
    I got tired of damaging the screen after every hour of work.
    The second iMac G5 was purchased a year later. That one also suffered permanent damage to it's LCD panel. But, not quite as noticeable.
    I know that there are a bunch of people getting ready to hit me with the "Image Persistence" explanation. But, trust me, I know about Image Persistence, and this wasn't it.
    I was seeing actual permanent screen burn-in (which is not supposed to happen on LCD panels).
    The service tech was absolutely amazed at the appearance of my screen. And, yes we verified it was the actual panel that was damaged. He wouldn't replace it without verifying that it was the panel itself.
    Anyway, I called to arrange service on the second system again, and before I could get it in there, the backlight started flickering. And, I had already had tons of other stuff fixed on the machine. So, I sold it and bailed-out.
    Now, after all the problems I've had with the built-in screens on the iMac G5 systems, I don't want another Apple product with a built-in screen. I want to use my own LCD panel.
    I have an LCD panel that I'm using now. It's about 3 years old, and only cost me $200. And, it doesn't have even the slightest indication of image burn-in or image persistence. I use it every day, and use it just like I did the iMacs.
    So, what I want now, is a machine comparable to the iMac CoreDuo, but without the built-in screen.
    The current Mac Mini's cost way too much for their very low specifications.
    I already have a Mac Mini G4. It's underpowered as well. But, no worse-off than the current Mac Minis.
    Now, if Apple produced a Mac Mini with identical specs to the iMac, I'd gladly buy it.
    Even better for them, I'd pay the same price as the current iMac to get it without the built-in monitor.
    Yes, that's right, I'd pay the full price of the iMac to get a Mac Mini without a monitor if it was of the same specifications otherwise.
    The current Mac Mini is obviously stripped-down to prevent competition with the iMac. But, I think they'd find that they would simply expand their user base if they offered a better Mini.
    With their product line as it is, the current Mac Mini is not a compelling machine, and the iMac is not an option because of it's built-in monitor.
    Get me a high-end Mac Mini and you've got a sale.

  • What are the differences between Mac Air and Mac Pro?

    What are really the main differences between the Macbook Air and the MacBook Pro?
    I am thinking of getting a laptop by mac. I like the prices of the Air but the Pro seems better performance.
    However my needs are internet, email, word processing and some photos, pictures etc.
    would i still be able to do many good applications on the Air vs the Pro?
    suggestions please?
    thanks

    The base model current 2013 Air will perform faster and better in general than the base model 13" non-Retina Macbook Pro.
    Ive got both of them. 
    On the Air:
    Faster wifi (by far) 802ac
    Faster boot and read/ write due to SSD
    Much longer battery life due to Haswell upgrade made in June
    Crisper sharper screen, better to stare at for long periods
    MUCH FEWER parts to go bad,.....also only one moving part, the Fan
    No HD to crash from mechanical failure
    Packing the AIr around is a dream since is nearly the weight of an Ipad.
    Dont get fooled like most do in seeing the super-skinny AIr as less than a full power machine, ....thats always someones first huge mistake when they see one.
    Here is an excellent video comparison between the 11” I5 vs. I7 2013 Macbook Air.

  • File sharing between Mac Mini and iMac "breaks" after reboot of either device, and won't restore.  Why?  Running Maverick 10.9.1 on both.  File sharing is setup on both.  Help.

    I'm a new user - recent convert from longtime Windows to Apple.  Thought having desktops and computing aligned with phones and tablets would help.  Not so far.
    I have a MacMini running Mavericks 10.9.1, and an iMac running Mavericks 10.9.1.  File Sharing is set up on both.  If either device is rebooted for any reason, file sharing from the Mac Mini to the iMac "breaks" and will not easily restart.  Various things eventually brings the connection back - usually having to do with checking and unchecking File Sharing, the AFP button, and/or the SMB button on the iMac - but never the same procedure twice in a row.  File Sharing from the iMac to the Mac Mini is never disrupted - always comes back up without a problem.  Screen Sharing also works between both without fail, and comes up after reboot of either.  No problem there.  Only difficulty is from Mac Mini to the iMac. 
    Why?  Any ideas? 

    Should also clarify - usually takes multiple hours of checking/unchecking file sharing settings in order to restore the share between Mac Mini and iMac.  NEVER happens automatically.
    This is disruptive because I've got the Mac Mini pointing to several file locations on the iMac for various things - photos, music, etc. - and they all hang up unless the share is restored.  Real bummer.

  • What's the difference between flash storage and solid state drive in MacBook Pro?

    What's the difference between MacBook Pro with flash storage and MacBook Pro with solid state drive?

    A SSD is packaged like any other notebook drive. Flash storage uses a different design and layout that connects directly to the motherboard using PCIe. It is faster than a normal SSD.

    Thanks.

    The panel is the UI part of the VI. It can be divided into several panes which are simply different parts of the same panel, which can have seperate scrollbars, etc.

    This, Whats's the difference between MacBook Pro 13 and 13.3 ?

    Firstly, you are not in MacBook Pro forum, so you need to get your bearings.
    2nd check the specs page
    http://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro
    Then Bing/Google for reviews, Ars is always good but dozens have done one.
    2011 brings Intel Sandy Bridge processor boards, Thunderbolt, SATA3 (6G) along with options for SSD and much more RAM (can save buying RAM and doing the upgrade yourself)

    No difference other than one is for the Russian market. Specs on both are the same, standard Apple Store issue versions.
    Of course the screen choice of anti-glare, glossy, high res or low res is not included.
    The default is likely the cheap glossy and low res.

    The first model was originally sold in the UK or Ireland, while the second came from a different country, probably one in the Middle East. They're operationally identical.

  • What is the difference between MacBook pro 2011 and 2012

    What is the difference between MacBook pro 2011 and 2012

    understanding that at the time of the question, there has not been any Macbook Pro 2012, now it is later and there is.
    The difference is:
    -CPU being used (2011 models: Sandy Bridge, 2012 models: Ivy Bridge)
    -Graphics (2011: intel 3000 + on 15"/17" ATI, 2012: intel 4000 + on 5"/17" nvidia Geforce 650M)
    -USB (2011: USB2.0 only, 2012: USB3.0)
    -Bluetooth (2011. 2.1 + EDR, 2012: 4.0)
    Ivy Bridge CPUs are smaller and are a little bit more energy-efficient.
    Other than that, currently the devices are not much different in respect to performance (Apple's graphics driver performance is known to increase during upgrades, though, so the performance gap may widen up)

  • What is the difference between Macs Voice Over and the text to talk feature

    what is the difference between Macs Voice Over and the text to talk feature

    Voice Over doesn't need someone to type in the text first. Voice Over works with specific screen displayed information so that a blind person can know where his/her cursor is or what is being displayed. Although it is an application of text to talk it's more than the text to talk feature.
