What SSD Should I Get And What Size

Looking to get an SSD to boot and store applications on, Late 2011 Macbook Pro 15" quad core i7 2.2Ghz.
Currently looking at: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/SSDEX6G060/
Tell me what you think.

I got a 120gb SSD for $120 and after a $20 rebate it came to $100. It makes my origional factory HDD look like a snail. http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=ocz+vertex&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=1 0963169686259943136&sa=X&ei=e81bT6v6L6OJsQLx6fS3DQ&ved=0CHQQ8wIwBQ

Drives like the Samsung don't make a good main drive replacment yuo will see noticable pauses in applicatipon web browsing is one place where the pause is very noticable but people blame internet transfer instead of their hdd pausing while doing a file update.

Building a custom laptop for PE11, what size SSD should I get?

This will be a two drive laptop so one will be the SSD with the OS and the other a 750 gig drive. Any reason to go bigger than 128 gig on the SSD?
Thanks,
Tom

I don't use SSD, but my "platter" boot drive currently has 70Gig used... for Win7 64bit Pro and CS5 Master Collection and MS Office Pro and various small utility programs and all non-video files
I have my Windows swap/paging file directed to another drive, as well as Premiere temp files and all video files

What should the resolution and design size be for an 8' Wide by 2' Tall sign graphic?

I am creating a graphic for an acrylic sign, and the dimensions are 8' wide by 2' tall. What size should my design be to work within Photoshop CS6? Pixels or inches? Resolution? I don't want to lose resolution between design and actual print. Please help. Thank you.

If you intend to have it printed by a commercial shop, I would ask them what they would recommend.

What kind of SSD should I use and will it benefit my laptop?

My Macbook Pro (either early or late 2008, not sure) is in dire need of an upgrade. I'm thinking about upgrading it to a 128 GB SSD-drive and was wondering if anybody has experience with the performance-gains (especially in Adobe Photoshop) and what kind of drives anyone would recommended? It's quite difficult to find recent info on this online so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Michiel

Ah, this opens up new perspectives. Could you shed some light on the RAM-subject? How can I find out what model I have and what kind of RAM I need? I mean, logic dictates I need the same RAM I have now, but I'm sure there has been some development on those voodoo-sticks that should make them faster etc.
Also, any info on the SSD-thing is still greatly appreciated. Upgrading RAM ánd HD is ofcourse better then just switching to an SSD..

What replacement SSD should I get for iMac Model A1225

With a failed hard disk in my iMac, What is the best and most suitable replacement available.
Disk space isn't really a factor, >120GB will suffice, my primary concern is getting the right make/model to fit my imac.

I want to buy an unlocked iPhone 5c in USA, find a no contract SIM card for USA, and also be able to use it on trips to UK, possibly changing the sim card there. What model should I get and is this possible?

I cannot use T-Mobile, no reception in my house.

Hey samfromshrewsbury,
Thanks for the question. The following purchase page may have the information you are looking for:
iPhone 5c - Buy iPhone 5c in white, pink, yellow, blue, or green - Apple Store (U.S.)
http://store.apple.com/us/buy-iphone/iphone5c
If you buy a SIM-free iPhone, you will need to purchase a GSM-compatible nano-SIM card separately. In the United States, you can purchase such a SIM from AT&T or T-Mobile. When you travel internationally, you can use a nano-SIM card for iPhone 5c from a local GSM carrier. The unlocked iPhone 5c model is A1532 (GSM).
Thanks,
Matt M.

Deep down he knows I'm right....
The issue is that he doesn't know if he will use the memory or not. To be sure, he should go BIG! The differences in cost between the small and large versions are not that much anyway.

What size should my movies be to not get cut off?

I am making a tutorial DVD. I used Snapz Pro to record a bunch of screen capture movies and then edited them together in FCP and exported them as 1024x768 animation movies and they look great. Now I want to burn them to DVD. When I take them as they are and put them on a DVD the top and bottom of the screen get cut off. Can I just resize the movies in QT pro to a different size so they won't cut off? If so what size? Is there a better way?

Scott,
A mix of this QuickTime Pro: How to Make Picture-in-Picture at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42633 and the following procedure I put together a couple of years ago to use the small movies produced by still digital cameras in iMovie/iDVD:
1. Create a 640 x 480 black mask with a slightly lighter black 320 x 240 center in Photoshop. Save it as a JPG file.
2. Open your DiMage X movie in QuickTime Pro. Open the saved mask in another QuickTime Pro player (at 15 fps).
3. Select the mask clip and edit->select all and then edit->copy
4. Select the DiMage X clip and then edit -> add scaled the mask
5. Next, select movie -> get movie properties
6. Select video 2 on the left box and layers on the right box. Set the layers to 1 (that moves the mask to the back).
7. Select video one on the left box and size on the right box. Click on adjust. Red hack marks appear around the video. Click on the picture (not the mark) and center the video on the lightened 320 x 240 box.
8. The video may not completely cover the lighter box, but the hack marks should line up. When you view the movie, if you used a "slightly lighter" black for the center area, you won't a notice a lighter area when played in iDVD.
9. Export it as a DV stream. Bring it into iDVD.
will give you an idea on how to proceed. Obviously, you will need to come up with your own mask and cut-out size - 640x480 ISN'T what YOU want.

Well i am going to get a macbook pro non-retina should i get 4gb or 8gb i asked because i have lots of files and i play and record games what gb should i do?

i have to get a new computer i want to get a macbook pro non retina but i use my computer alot with school i have lots of files and picture but what should i get 4gb or 8gb

You need storage space for your files. You need RAM in order to run programs. They are not the same.
1. Get 8 GBs of RAM.
2. Get a large hard drive or SSD to store your files. The bigger, the better.

I put in my memory card to the left side of the computer, but I cannot find the file of pictures anywhere. Its not even on my desktop. What should I do and how can I get it to show up on my desktop?

If your Mac is new-ish and has one of the Lions as its OS, the drives, cards, USB sticks no longer show up, even though they're there. Go to Finder's Preferences and tick the corresponding items in the General and Sidebar tabs.

I am trying to make a pdf of a file and I need to get the file size to be no bigger than 10MB. What is the best way to do this

I am trying to make a pdf of a file and I need to get the file size to be no bigger than 10MB. Even when I save it, the image quality at minimum the file size is 10.9 MB. What is the best way to do this

@Barbara – What purpose is that PDF for? Print? Web?
If web purpose, you could convert CMYK images to sRGB. That would reduce the file size as well.
A final resort to bring down file size is:
1. Print to PostScript
2. Distill to PDF
That would bring file size down even more. About 20%, depending on the images and other contents you are using, compared with the Acrobat Pro method. If you like you could send me a personal message, so we could exchange mail addresses. I could test for you. Just provide the highres PDF without any downsampling and transparency intact. Best provide a PDF/X-4.
I will place the PDF in InDesign, print to PostScript, distill to PDF.

I want to move my music and photos to an external hard drive from my iMac. What external hard drive should I get?

I want to move my music and photos to an external hard drive from my iMac. What kind of hard drive should I get? Will it remove it from iMac and only be on external hard drive?

How to correctly move your media:
iTunes: How to move the library to an EHD
iPhoto: How to move the Library to an EHD
It is important that the External Hard Drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled).
And also make sure that all is working to your Satisfaction before Deleting anything Off your Mac.

Virtually any DVD burner that can connect to your Mac will work. They start at $40 on Amazon.
