What type of mac do i need for home use to watch and edit videos

What type / power of MAC do i need for home use to watch and edit vedeos as well as basic computer work?

Any of the new Macs for home - iMac or MacBook Pro are even fine. You don't need a 65lb workstation tower. If you want a tower for how well and long they hold up, and can be upgraded, that is another matter and fine and might be overkill at first.
Even the base Mac Pro will get you there.

  • What kind of mac would I need for Nexflix, basic search and email? Also, sounds silly, but can I connect an HDMI from Mac to tv?

    What kind of mac would I need for Nexflix, basic search and email? Also, sounds silly, but can I connect an HDMI from Mac to tv?

    Just an FYI.  The Macs named PowerMac date from early 2006 and before.  Use this tip to discover where to post once you get your Mac:

    The cheapest Mac available new is a Mac Mini.   It is no bigger than many an external hard drive.  But the screen and keyboard and mouse must be purchased separately.  They support USB and Bluetooth keyboards and mice, and pretty much any DVI, HDMI, or displayport display.   Although the iMac is certainly an attractive option if all you want to deal with is deciding on a printer.   I still recommend getting an Apple USB keyboard for the occasional times you may need to troubleshoot startup issues.  Normally not a problem, but as it gets older some issues can be fixed at startup or diagnosed at startup.

  • What type of modem do i need for time capsule. I can't get it to pick up the net

    what type of modem do i need for time capsule. I can't get it to pick up the net

    Simply bridge the TC..
    With DSL you need to either bridge the modem and use PPPoE client which can be difficult to setup.. especially as some modems do not bridge readily..
    Or bridge the TC which is simple.. go to the airport utility and select internet page, on v5 utility or network page on v6 utility and select off-bridged mode for the mode of connection.

  • HT1424 Is VPN really needed for home use?

    Is VPN really needed for home use on the iPad 2?

    I don't have one. The only times I've seen a need for a VPN is when we've had employees that need to access the work network from home, so need to have a connection that meets the work's security to be granted access to the network (our network is inaccessible outside the building without a VPN)

  • What type of Mac do I need please?

    Hi ,
    I would like some advice on the type of Mac and Spec I need please for my business. I am unsure about whether I should get a macbook pro, imac or desktop mac pro. Most computer jargon goes straight over my head so please if you answer use small non technical words!!!
    This is what I need the computer for:
    1. Top quality Video Editing - Final Cut Pro. I will be using the computer for a lot of Video Editing. I need a computer that is capable of rendering video at fast speeds without compromising the performance too much.
    2. Multi-tasking - I want to be able to be working on photoshop, whilst encoding or compressing video, downloading something from the web and running a few programmes at the same time such as InDesign etc
    3. Disk Space - I will have a lot of video content (raw footage and edited that I need to store) but having said that, I'm guessing a slight upgrade to a 2TB hard drive would do.
    4. My business works with the latest Online Games such as World of Warcraft and so the Graphics Cards / Memory / Processor Speeds needs to be able to run these online MMORPGs at the optimal speeds, frame rates etc
    That is pretty much it. I am unsure about what type of Mac computer to get. My budget is tops £5k including VAT but I'd prefer not to spend that if I don't need to.....I just want a computer (27 inch screen) that can do all the above comfortably.
    Thanks very much for any help that is offered, much appreciated,

    MHz and GHz matter.
    Also, dual processor has overhead.
    6-core single processor is the equal or better and optimized even to an 8-core (which would be 2.93GHz and BTO$)
    Blame Apple for "hiding" the 6-core.
    Poor web site design: have a page for single processor configurations, not "Quad-core models" where there is BTO 3.33GHz for $1200 extra. Buy your own 2.8 and buy W3680 $600, then sell the 2.8, and you walk away with $900 saved.
    Buy the Special (not avail in UK) 2.8 for US$2119 and upgrade processor in under hour.
    Refurbished Mac Pro 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon - Apple Store (U.S.)
    Offer a dual processor 12-core @ 3.33GHz for the high end most demanding (and US$7.5K or more?)
    That is what MPG and OWC Mac Pro Turnkey Program can do. And MPG does sell custom configs configured and tested.
    I would never recommend 8-core at this point. You spend $6200 for 2.93GHz x 8, ($2500 more than 6-core and still 400MHz slower per core);  2.4GHz is a joke, and even the 2.66 US$5000 is not even close! Nope.
    Build a workstation, that's another matter and gets interesting if your primary apps and OS run on Windows.

  • CS6 for "Home use" or "small and medium business"?

    Hello,
      I'm interested in purchasing Photoshop CS6. I'm self-employed and I need an installation only for one machine, but for commercial use. Do I need to buy Photoshop for "small and medium business" or will "Home use" be sufficient license-wise?
    Thanks,
    Alicja

    There are no such options.
    There's a standard commercial license or an Educational license.
    Your only decision is whether to buy Photoshop CS6 Standard or Photshop CS6 Extended (3D and few other features).
    You will be fine with a commercial version of Photoshop CS6 Standard.
    All licenses allow you to install and activate the software on up to 2 computers.

  • Can I use iMovie to create a video for youtube using an MP3  and a video?

    I have some music I've recorded on Logic Pro that I'd like to post on youtube and am trying to figure the easiest way to link it with either still photos or a video so it'd be OK for youtube. What's the best way to go about this please?

    just drag 'n drop your jpg and your mp3 into the timeline of your Project - done.
    Depending on what version of iM you're using, you can directly upload from within iMovie, or you have to export first, then use YT's upload web interface ...
    in case you own a licence of Quicktime Pro,  open a jpg with it, open in a 2nd window your mp3, select all, copy, paste to picture - done .. no 'fullsize editor' needed.

  • What is the type of cable do i need for a macbook white to connect to a hdmi cable?

    what is the type of cable do i need for a macbook white to connect to a hdmi cable? This is quite a problem since macbook white is not in production anymore.

    First we need to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion). When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
    The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 model 6,1 and Mid 2010 model 7,1 White Unibody have a Mini DisplayPort. The Early 2006 model 1,1 through Early 2008 model 4,1s plus the Early and Mid 2009 model 5,2s have Mini-DVI ports. Each would take a different adapter to connect with the TV.

  • What kind of wireless card I need for my Power Mac G5 (late 2005) Dual 2 GH

    hi there,
    I have for sometime now a "Power Mac G5 (late 2005) Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5", and recently I have been thinking to get an Airport extreme wireless card with a bluetooth on it, which could work on my machine.
    I have already try to deal with apple representatives and Apple sales people to give me a hand on the matter and so far is been a nightmare to approach this guys, tired of wasting time and effort, so that is way I am posting a topic on this section to see if you guys could give a hand on the matter.
    All what I would like to know is what kind of wireless card I need for my Power Mac G5 (late 2005) Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5 (version 10.4.11) and where I could buy one on line to install myself.
    This is the mac unit I have.
    Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5.
    Hardware Overview:
    Machine Name: Power Mac G5
    Machine Model: PowerMac11,2
    CPU Type: PowerPC G5 (1.1)
    Number Of CPUs: 2
    CPU Speed: 2 GHz
    L2 Cache (per CPU): 1 MB
    Memory: 4.5 GB
    Bus Speed: 1 GHz
    Boot ROM Version: 5.2.7f1
    Thanks for you time.
    regards

    You're welcome. Funny how Apple works isn't it? If it's any consolation, that Airport/Bluetooth card doesn't show up on the Apple U.S. store either. I don't think they ever intended it to be a user installable part, so perhaps that's why they don't offer it for sale. Do you have any Apple Authorized Service providers in your area? I'd think they'd be able to order the card as a replacement part.
    Can you give a little more detail or a link to the gadget you're referring to? It sounds like a USB dongle to enable Wi-Fi, but that must be a third party solution, since I don't believe Apple ever offered something like that.

  • For the new airport extreme what type of cable do I need to connect to my cable modem. Is Cat5 OK or will that bottle neck things?

    For the new airport extreme what type of cable do I need to connect to my cable modem. Is Cat5 OK or will that bottle neck things?

    Assuming that your cable modem has Gigabit Ethernet ports (possible, but it probably does not) Cat 5e or Cct 6 would do the job that you need.
    If the cable modem is using a 10/100 Mbps port, then Cat5 will be OK.
