  • IMac - what graphic card best suited for Aperture???

    Hi, I'm considering buying the 24" iMac to use with Aperture 2.1.2, however it comes with the option
    of two graphics cards:
    ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO w/256MB GDDR3
    NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS w/512MB GDDR3
    I don't play any games, so what I want is the best card for use with Aperture (and I guess core image?).
    From what I can see at barefeats.com its not necessarily the biggest card which is the best, since they are often optimized for games and not so much 2d graphics.
    Right now I use Aperture on my 2.2Ghz MacBook Pro with 128Mb Nvidia card, and its not the fastest combo at all.
    What is your opinion?
    Best,
    Peter

    AFAIK the Barefeats commentary <http://barefeats.com/imp01.html> seems accurate and suggests that the 2600 card is best value.
    If one is buying a new desktop box, iMacs are much more limiting to Aperture performance than Mac Pros, even a 2006 MP. So the only reason to consider an iMac is price. Once we acknowledge that the setup build is about accepting lesser Aperture performance to achieve lower price, the significance of the $150 extra for the 8800 card becomes more apparent. IMO if one is price-constrained to buying an iMac then the $150 that might have gone to an 8800 card is better spent on adding the necessary maximum RAM and FW800 external hard drive(s).

  • What Apps are best suited for my Specific Purpose?

    I am in need of some advice. I am very close to pulling the trigger on an IPad, I would like to use it as a one on sales presentation tool in a retail environment to my clients. Here is my question.
    My company uses documents that are to be used doing the sales presentation; I would like to draw / sketch and make notes on the documents that are saved on the IPad to be used over and over. I like the idea of using innovative technology to do what I want to do.
    This would be a put of pocket expense for me until I can prove to the company that it is a worthwhile investment. What simple apps are available that allow me bring up the documents and make my side notes, sketches, drawings and any other comments that I may want to use during the sales presentation.
    I eagerly wait for your answer,

  • What is the best Adobe program for creating animated UI concepts for compositing?

    I'm starting work on a concept of what an OS using the Oculus Rift might be like, mostly for fun. But I'm not sure what program would best suit my needs for that sort of work. I currently have the Photography CC pack, and I have Premiere CC as well. Would photoshop's animation systems work best, or is there something else I would have a better time with? I would need something that could output plain jane image frames with alpha channels.
    I have a fair amount of experience with photoshop, but the few times I've used it's animations features I've had a hell of a time figuring things out and doing certain things. Should I just learn that, or is there something that would work significantly better?

    For help with Photoshop, go to Photoshop General Discussion
    Otherwise, I have no idea

  • What Macbook would be perfect for me? What would best suit my activity/needs?

    I currently have a Toshiba L650 Satellite.
    I'm an 18 year old female, and I want to buy my very first macbook.
    As Macbooks are expensive, I want to get the perfect one for me.
    I use my laptop for:
    -Photoshop (I edit a lot of pictures/gifs/etc)
    -Photo's (lots of photos I take on my camera I store on my computer, this also means I want an SD card slot)
    -USB plug ins.
    -Music (So I want to be able to put discs in my computer)
    -Storing videos. (Average amount, not lots, just average amount of videos)
    -Word documents I use often.
    -Internet (I spend A LOT of time on the internet - facebook, youtube, social networking, browsing, etc. My laptops main use is the internet and photos)
    -I watch some TV shows on it, like Vampire Diaries, etc sometimes.
    -I'm not really a gamer. I do, however, play the sims 3 ocassionally and I'm thinking about buying Skyrim, but don't know about this one, maybe not.
    -I webcam a lot too. Via Facebook generally. But sometimes Skype too.
    & I think that's about it.
    What would be the better Macbook for me?
    I was looking at either the Macbook pro 13" or the Macbook air 13" - but don't know which one or if neither of these would suit me.
    I like my computers to run fast and I like as much memory as possible. However, on my current laptop I've only used 83gb I think. It says total space is 583gb and there's 500gb remaining so I think that means I used 83gb?
    On my new laptop, I want to store a bit more stuff than that though. So what is best for me?? What MAC is best for me??
    I don't know a lot about computers so you may need to explain thoroughly for me to understand better.

    Most of your list could be supported by either MacBook you listed. I think if you are a heavy user of Photoshop that you will find the MacBook Pro to be the better solution.
    You version of Photoshop that you have on your Toshiba will not run  on the Mac and will have to be replaced with the Mac version. Adobe may make you a deal on the Mac version. Call an ask their sales staff what they can do for you if you want to stay with PS.
    Seeing as how you are planning on switching platform, you may want to check out two applications from Apple before you switch which are iPhoto and Aperture.
    The first iPhoto will come with you Mac and is a way of storing photos and doing simple editing on them. It is very well integrated with the rest of the software on the Mac.
    The other is Aperture. This is an extra cost item that is for the more serious user. It is capable of much more powerful edits on your photos.

  • What are the best Color "Display Settings" for both my Macbook Pro Retina and Thunderbolt Display??

    I have recently purchased a Thunderbolt Display for my MBPr (early 2013) and was wondering what were the best settings for both to obtain an equal color and graphic appearance. I want to have them identical for working on graphics and illustrations.
    Thanks

    I have the same laptop. There's nothing you really need to do to optimise the system. Perhaps just install the cuda drivers.
    It runs premiere like a dream.

  • What printers work best with the iMac thunderbolt?

    What printers work best with the new 21.5" iMac Thunderbolt?

    Which iMac model and which Mac OSX version? The pre-2006 iMacs this forum covers are now either poorly supported or complete adandoned by most pritner makers.
    If "About this Mac" (from your Apple menu at the left end f the menubar) shows the word "Intel," please let us klnow and we can get you moved to the forum for newer iMacs; that one gets much more traffic.

  • What is the best way to make a HDMI connection?

    I have a 13" Macbook Pro, bought in late 2011, therefore I have the Thunderbolt port. I do not think it has a mini DVI port. Therefore my question is what is the best way to connect this great Mac to a HDTV using an HDMI port on the TV?

    To connect MBP to HDMI monitor or TV via Thunderbolt port, use mini DisplayPort-to-HDMI adapter and HDMI cable. Thunderbolt port is mini-DisplayPort compatible. If you get the adaptor that supports video and audio signal, both will be forwarded to your monitor or TV. Search the Apple store.

  • What is the best sequence of upgrading: SSD, OSX Mavericks, iPhoto Library?

    Working on breathing new life into / upgrading my wife's mid-2009 MacBook Pro (Macbook Pro 5,5 - Core 2 Duo, 2.26 GHz, 13"). Currently running OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.
    So far: I have upgraded the RAM to 8 GB from 2 GB, and replaced the battery which recently reached the end of its life.
    Next up: SSD upgrade and possibly OSX upgrade to Mavericks.
    My questions:
    (a) What is my best upgrade path (order/sequence), given the few things I want to with this machine still?
    (b) Are my plans and reasoning below sound?
    1.Upgrade the 120 GB hard disk to a 240 GB SSD. I have a SanDisk Extreme II 240 GB (although I know this MBP won't fully utilize the SATA III, I got a good deal on it and plan to use it as an add-on drive somewhere when/if this MBP logic board fails eventually), and a USB to SATA adapter for prep work.
    Plan: Attach the SSD via USB adaptor, initialize and partition with Disk Utility (Journaled, GUID Partition Map so it's bootable), clone existing hard disk using Super Duper or CCC (recommendations welcome--I'm on a budget ). Set TRIM enabler, and other recommendations per Upgrading Your MacBook Pro with a Solid State Drive
    Reasoning: Doing this SSD upgrade first will give me more free space for updates/changes I plan under #2 and #3 below. (For example, current drive has 11 GB free, which is not much room to try and upgrade to Mavericks now before swapping out for SSD.) Additionally, Mavericks will perform much better on the SSD, per other threads I've read with similar MBPs.
    2. Upgrade OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard to Mavericks.
    This is where some of my Mac knowledge is lacking: Is it best to upgrade here (what I've read so far indicates it's pretty seamless), or to install Mavericks freshly on the SSD and then use Migration Assistant to import from the old hard disk? I hesitate to do the latter, since this Mac still has some messes from a previous migration (see #3).
    Coming from a Windows background, I have my biases, but I don't know if the jury's still out on performance differences between fresh Mavericks installs versus upgrades--any light to be shed here?
    3. Fix iPhoto '09 Library and Consider Upgrading to iPhoto '11. Through reading on the great forums here I have concluded that my wife's photo collection currently exists in a weird place - 68 GB under /Previous Systems/<date of MBP upgrade from Macbook>/Users/<username>/Pictures/iPhoto Library. This seems to be left over from when she copied her iPhoto Library from her old Macbook, before this MBP. (Before I sat down to write this post, I had noticed there was an iPhoto Library (much smaller size, just a few GBs) in the normal place, under /Users/<username>/Pictures/iPhoto Library/ -- but now I don't see it, so maybe I goofed up and either lost that or imported it into the above library. Either way, that was going to be one of my questions!)
    Should I move this "Previous Systems" iPhoto Library to a more normal place?
    If I do again find extraneous photos or libraries outside of it, how best should I bring them back into one -- or a better question might be, how do I ensure THIS becomes the primary iPhoto Library going forward? (links to threads also appreciated -- I have come up short)
    If this machine is now on Mavericks, is it a best practice to also purchase iPhoto '11? Eventually, our next Mac will come with it so it may be worthwhile eventually upgrading (I don't know if it is urgent, though).
    Overall, does this process make sense? Any glaring gaps? Thank you for your time and wisdom!
    Ryan

    Thanks Melophage. I've been looking into my options, together with the advice you gave. It seems like I can salvage quite a bit of data after a fresh install if I follow the steps here - OS X: Manually migrating data from another Mac. However, applications are my (only) concern -- for my iLife suite apps (which as I mentioned, are old -- '09 editions) how can I restore those after installing Mavericks fresh? Can I just plug in the original Snow Leopard disc that says applications on it, to install? Or would they show up in Mac App Store (I think not since they are so old and I haven't purchased '11 with this account yet).
    My wife's computer also has some third party apps which would be a pain to reinstall but not end of the world, I suppose. Another route of migrating and keeping these (but still doing a fresh OS install) might possibly be according to OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mavericks, which is really designed for multiple computer copying. But with the SSD external, could I install Mavericks and then take a Time Machine backup of my internal (original) HDD, including those apps, and then follow these steps to import them into the Mavericks install on the SSD, once I booted into it? Does that make sense?
    After some further reading on the subject, I found a lot of difference of opinion (especially on some MacRumor threads) about whether to install fresh OS X or upgrade, but I guess if the install ends up cleaner it could be worth it to install a fresh copy.
    Any comments on the above approaches, or thoughts from others here? Thanks again for your help.

  • What is the Best Android Smartphone? (All Opinions Welcome)

    I currently have a HTC thunderbolt that i have used for the last two years. It is getting to where it needs replaced. What is the current new phone best suited for business use. Phone, text, multiple email accts, contacts, calendar, etc? I don't use for games or music, videos, either.

    Hard question to answer. One person's honey is another person's vinegar. My personal choice is the Galaxy Note II. Now to some people, the phone is too big. Some people think the s-pen is a waste. I do not find the phone too big, and I find myself continuously using the s-pen to write notes to myself (saves paper). If you can wait, the Galaxy Note III will be coming out soon and it's really better than the II. My opinion.

  • I am a new mac user and I switch to mac due to the graphics that it brings. I do website in pc and I heard iweb is the best.NOW i heard that iweb will be discontinue. so what is the best application there for website using MAC OSX lion?

    I am a new mac user and I switch to mac due to the graphics that it brings. I do website in pc and I heard iweb is the best.NOW i heard that iweb will be discontinue. so what is the best application there for website using MAC OSX lion?

    It is now confirmed  that iWeb, and iDVD, has been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
    On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. However, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ MobileMe Gallery
    All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken.  If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    It now appears that the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.
    Personally, if I didn't already have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.
    This might be of some interest to you at this time: Life After MobileMe.

  • What's the best way to set up new imac for logic etc?

    In brief:
    Getting new imac (27", 3.4 i7, 8-16GB ram, 1TB HD). Will be using it mainly to run Logic Studio (loads of plugins) and Final Cut Express. I also have 2 external Hard drives one 500G one 1TB.
    The last imac I bought was my first and just went ahead and threw everything at it not really knowing where things should go. This time I want to set things up correctly.
    Basically, with what I've got, what is the best way to set things up. I.e where do I put logic files, samples, BFD2, Amplitube etc. Where do I put videos for use in FCE. Storing projects and backups for use with Time Machine.
    Also noticed the new imac will only have 1 firewire port. I will need to plug in the Hard drives (daisy chained), camera and RME Fireface 800. Was thinking of getting a Thunderbolt Hard drive but they are expensive and hard to find.
    Would really appreciate any help before I get the new machine and start messing things up again.
    Thanks.

    Adding to babowa, enable the system firewall in System Preferences>Security>Firewall tab. Click Advanced and check Stealth Mode.
    Lion is a pretty steady and secure operating system, and as there really aren't MANY Mac viruses, there ARE viruses out there still. OS X is pretty good about letting you know if you do accidently download a virus, and it will help you throw it away if it detects one, such as the MACDefender virus. OS X has built in security features such as sandboxing that doesn't allow viruses in as easily as a Windows PC. As for hackers, as long as you have the firewall enabled and a secure password (for your computer and email accounts), then you should be fine.
    It's the user that lets the virus in, not the computer (unless there's some untold serious vulnerability in OS X, which is highly unlikely). Keep your apps up to date, don't download pirated software, and be street smart on the internet. Don't download things or visit websites that you don't think are real. Safari includes a Phishing feature that automatically detects known phishing sites, protecting you from that big problem. Keep your passwords secure and you should be fine.
    There are antivirus solutions out there, one notable one available in the AppStore is Intego's VirusBarrier (free and plus versions), if you feel you still need one.
    I wouldn't worry about it. Windows users who switch to Mac are always asking these questions.
    Here's some good reading as well

  • What is the best way to have access from two separate computers on a network to a large group of data files and be able to modify the dat from each system?

    Have three systems: MacBook Air, iMac 27, running current software and an older iMac 24 running earlier version of OS-X.  All connected using Airport through a Linksys router.  Have a large number of folders (2800 equal to 1.5 TB) and need to be able to update from both MB Air and the 27 as well as have some sort of at least weekly backup.  What is the best approach to accomplishing this? This is a small home network used to store audio books for the blind.

    I would recommend a proper NAS.. Synology or QNAP are top brands.
    OR, getting another lightweight computer as a server. eg newest Mac Mini or second hand one with large storage, USB3 or thunderbolt.
    Apple routers could be pressed into service but are not designed for this task.. they will be slow, and without ability to backup.

  • What's the best storage solution for a large iLife? RAID? NAS?

    I'm looking for an affordable RAID storage solution for my Time Machine, iTunes Library, iMovie videos, and iPhoto Library. To this point I've been doing a hodgepodge of external hard drives without the saftey of redundancy and I've finaly been bitten with HD failures. So I'm trying to determine what would be the best recommendation for my scenario. Small Home Office for my wife's business (just her), and me with all our media. I currentlty have a mid-2010 Mac Mini (no Thunderbolt), she has an aging 2007 iMac and 2006 MacBook Pro (funny that they're all about the same benchmark speed). We have an AppleTV (original), iPad2 and two iPhone 4S's.
    1st Question: Is it better to get a RAID and connect it to my Airport Extreme Base Station USB port as a shared disk? OR to connect it directly to my Mac Mini and share through Home Sharing? OR Should I go with a NAS RAID?
    2nd Question: Simple is Better. Should I go with a Mac Mini Server and connect drives to it? (convert my Mac Mini into a server) or Should I just get one of those nice all-in-one 4-bay RAID drive solutions that I can expand with?
    Requirements:
    1. Expandable and Upgradeable. I don't want something limited to 2TB drives, but as drives get bigger and cheaper I want to easily throw one in w/o concerns.
    2. Simple integration with Time Machine and my iLife: iTunes, iMovie, iPhoto. If iTune's Home Sharing feature is currently the best way of using my media across multiple devices then why mess with it? I see "DLNA certified" storage on some devices and wonder if that would just add another layer of complexity I don't need. One more piece to make compatible.
    3. Inexpensive. I totally believe in the "You Get What You Pay For" concept. But I also realize sometimes I'm buying marketing, not product. I imagine that to start, I'm going to want a diskless system (because of $$$) to throw all my drives into, and then upgrade bigger drives as my data and funds grow.
    4. Security. I don't know if its practical, but I like the idea of being able to pop two drives out and put them in my safe and then pop them back in once a week for the backup/mirroring. I like this idea because I'm concerned that onsite backup is not always the safest. Unfortunately those cloud based services aren't designed for Terabytes of raw family video, or an entire media library that isn't wholey from the iTunes Store. I can't be the only one facing this challenge. Surely there's an affordable way to keep a safe backup for the average Joe. But what is it?
    5. Not WD. I've had bad experiences with Western Digital drives, and I loathe their consumer packaged backup software that comes preloaded on their external drives. They are what I meant when I say you get what you pay for. Prettily packed garbage.
    6. Relatively Fast. I have put all my media on an external drive before (back when it fit on one drive) and there's noticeable spool-up hang time. Thunderbolt's nice and all, but so new that its not easily available across devices, nor is it cheap. eSata is not really an option. I love Firewire but I'm getting the feeling that Apple has made it the red-headed step-child of connections. USB 3.0 looks decent, but like eSata, Apple doesn't recognize it exists. Where does that leave us? Considering this dilemma I really liked Seagate's GoFlex external drives because it meant I could always buy a new base and still be compatible. But that only works with single drives. And as impressive as Seagate is, we can't expect them to consistently double drive sizes every two years like they have been -cool as that may be.
    So help me out without getting too technical. What's the best setup? Is it Drobo? Thecus? ReadyNAS? Seagate's BlackArmor? Or something else entirely?
    All comments are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    I am currently using WD 2TB Thunderbolt hard drive for my iTunes, which i love and is works great.  i am connected directly to my Mac Book Pro. I am running low on Memory and thinking of buying a bigger Hard drive.  My question is should I buy 6TB thunderbolt HD or 6TB NAS drive to work solely for iTunes.  I have home sharing enabled for my Apple TV 
    I also have my time capsule connected just as back up only.
