This is what I do and my needs: I have an online beads store (I'm not very big for now but working on it when my computer cooperate ;) ) so that means I take my own pictures so that means lots of pictures to edit, download etc... I keep in touch with my clients via social network... When my clients wants something I have to respond fast... When my clients wants the product now, they want it now... When it take me forever to download my product for sell well I loose clients and business ... I tried evrything with my computers getting 2 exterior stockage so that I don't overload my computers trying to keep the speed but it doesn't work... So that's why I'm thinking going with apple product because I heard and had lots of good reviews on their product... (I have iPhone and iPad and for real I can see the difference the ipad2 works better and faster then my laptop and desktop lol) I know it will be a big investment for me to buy iMac or Mac Pro ...
Like I said I need speed for downloading my photos, products online, editing thousands so pictures ... Please help me I'm not a nerdy in computers I'm the kind of women that drives the car not repaired it lol so I need a reliable product that won't crush and bug every time but will help me enjoy my work and not curse :) evrytime I need the computer....
Tks you for your help and sorry for too much blabla

Rock and hard place - lets say there is a perfect storm - and you have been though too many OS "1.0" versions to know that new hardware + new OS and the "787Dreamliner" shake-down cruise.
A Mac Pro 2010 as a backup machine yes, backup machine, for $1800 that runs 10.6.8 and up, as I would never rely on or have just one computer for my business. And still get the next model when / if etc.
Even a new MacBook Pro Retina is quite a lot packed in - and portable - as a 2nd system.
Ideas for systems and performance upgrades:
http://www.macperformanceguide.com
Mac Pro: 4x4TB storage, SSD system, 48GB RAM, 6-core 3.33GHz processor - even though "old" is still solid mature and "known entity." Cutting edge is not ideal for a professional business. And custom 12-core 3.33GHz if money is not a burden.
iMac lets you outgrow but offers those Thunderbolt storage. But a Mac Pro can use large SAS storage arrays off ATTO PCIe controller. So it is only when sharing a TB box, which are still at this point more propritary and really if it doesn't support mini-SAS/SATA along with TB...

I am going to buy a macbook pro for grade 12, and I need to know wheather I should get a macbook pro or a macbook pro retina. If someone could tell me (in a very simple way) which one is,better for me and why, I would be ever so apprreciative.

Why do you need a expensive MacBook Pro?
Your attending high school and unless everyone else is rich also your likely going to be a target by the more poorer students for theft or damage to the machine.
You could keep it home, but if you need it for class then your exposed again.
Also at that age your not very careful yet, a MacBook Pro is a expensive and easily damaged machine.
Unless your made of money and so are others at your school, I would recommned a low profile, just does the job cheap Windows PC.
If it dies, gets lost, stolen or damaged because of your inexperince handling senstivie electronics then it's no big deal.
You can buy a Mac later on when your sure you have a need for it, currently there isn't much advantage of owning a Mac compared to a PC, they do just about the same things now, one just looks prettier than the other.
Since 95% of the world uses Windows PC's your going to have to install Windows on the Mac in order to keep your skills up there or be unemployed, so it's a extra headache and expense.
good luck

Hi. I am preparing for CA Bar Exam. I am considering buying MacBook Pro for exam writing. One is 13 inch 1499 dollar 2.5 GHz 8GB, the other is 15 inch MacBook Pro 2.7 GHz 2799 dollar 16 GB. Both are retina. Which one is better for me?

I will use Barclays Card for 18 month free interest.
I wil ask Apple clerk to avoid LG monitor.
I will buy those in Apple store.
Which one will you recommend?

Tha's something you need to decide for yourself.
Do you think you need 16GB of memory or 8 will be enough?
Do you need to carry your macbook around with you more often? if so just get the 13" it's easier to carry.
Or maybe you enjoy watching media on a bigger screen?
As for word processing it shouldn't be a problem on both notebooks.
Also can you afford buying the 15"?
And what about the hard drive capacity?
So my advice is to consider these aspects, make a list of pros and cons and see what you come up with

How do I find out which battery is right for my mac pro 13 inch Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 late 2011 model

how do I find out which battery is right for my mac pro 13 inch Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 late 2011 model

You could try ringing apple and seeing if they will give you a model number for the battery and then find one on google. Or you may even be able to order one from apple themselves.
They have support numbers for all over the world, in case you don't have the number you need, this is the support number website with all the numbers all over the world:

The 4.1 version for 3 gs is the best one .
as far as 5.1 its considerably slows the 3gs and 4.3.3 has known issues like wifi signal dropping and battery drain. so you must stay on ios 4.1 for your 3gs.

Better for gaming: Mac Pro or 24-inch iMac?

Well, I was already considering a Mac Pro since after I got my G5 iMac I started playing games like WoW and Sims 2 that really push the graphics card to its limit (especially the Sims).
Considering that the iMac setup I want (2.33 GHz, 2GB RAM, 7600GT card) would cost me $2500 before tax, and that I would still have to buy a separate monitor for the Mac Pro, which is the better deal? Is the 7600GT better enough than my current FX5200 that I won't feel the need to upgrade the graphics card in six months?
I'm not one of those that always gets the latest and greatest, but I've been mulling over an Intel Mac purchase for a while now, and I need some help with this decision.

Hello,
I'm sorry, but I believe that an Intel Core 2 Duo is
much faster than the MacPro's processors. Having 4
processors does not mean that the machine will be
faster.
Also, please note that the MacPro and iMac both have
different processors from a different family. Tha
MacPro's processors are designed for servers and
multi-tasking. Playing games is not multi-tasking.
Also, most high-end Windows XP machines have Intel
Core 2 Duo processors in them rather than the
processors that the Mac Pro has.
Sure, the MacPro can be upgraded but there is only a
limited number of hardware that can be put into a
Mac. With Apple, you probably won't need to
upgrade... atleast for 4 or 5 years, depending on
one's usage.
Please consider this,
Robert
I'm sorry, but you are very mistaken. The processors in the iMac are low-power (i.e. laptop) version of those found in the Mac Pro's. The Mac Pro's processors are even faster than the iMac, and not because there is more cores. The Mac Pro is powered by Core 2 Extreme processors, while the iMac is powered by a Core 2 Duo. Intel even quotes the Core 2 Extreme to be "the world's best gaming processor". So the Mac Pro is no doubt more powerful, but since we talking games here, the 2nd processor (3rd and 4th cores) won't get used. A wast of money to get them IMHO. So my recommendation is get the iMac with a 7600GT and 2GB of RAM (or more).

Which one is better for playback/performance - iMac or Mac Pro?

I'm getting a new mac and I don't care that much about the render time as I do about being able to play back my effects in real time. I know that both the $1500 iMac and the Mac Pro would work with Premiere and I'm pretty sure I won't have any problems with the Mac Pro but obviously I'm on a budget so my question is - will the iMac be able to handle effects in real time without the need for me to render first?

It makes no difference whatsoever.

Which MBP is better for Final Cut Pro?

Hi Everyone,
I'm looking to replace my 2010 MacBook Pro 13" on a budget. I'd like to get a retina 13" macbook pro, either the refurb 2012 with 8GB ram and the i5, or the refurb 2013 with 4GB ram, i5 and the new Intel Iris graphics card. Which is better for medium to intense final cut pro, photoshop, and dreamweaver work? Does the Intel Iris card make a big difference or should I be getting more RAM?
Thanks

First, check the Model Identifier in your Mac's Apple Menu > 'About this Mac' > 'More info' > 'System Report' > 'Hardware Overview'
Next, check OWC to find out exactly how much RAM your proposed MBPs can take. Apple gives correct specs at time of development. Later, larger RAM is developed that will work with some Mac models.
For video, FCPX will use as many processor cores as are available. It will use all 12 cores of the latest Mac Pro. This makes FXPX run very fast. Most other programs don't use multiple cores at all and a few only use a couple of cores. With more cores comes slower clock speed, which is needed by programs that dont use multiple cores.
Eventually, all high-end programs will use multiple cores, so, if you have the option, get as many cores as you can with your current purchase. This will especially benefit FCPX immediatly, it will help higher-end programs later, and the slower clock speed won't really affect the more run-of-the-mill programs (like word processing) because clock speeds are pretty reasonable these days (for a laugh, read this in fifty years time).
Get the minimum RAM available because you can upgrade later and will probably have to sacrifice the RAM you have. Third party RAM (again, you can check OWC) is cheaper than buying it with your computer pruchase. Make sure it's designed for your Mac.
You can use Activity Monitor to check if FCPX (or any program) is paging. You don't want this. It means it is writing to disk—effectively virtual memory—that should be handled in RAM. This is very slow and inefficient. It only does that when it needs more RAM than is available. That's when you upgrade your RAM (which could be immediatly after you buy).
The single most effective thing you can do to get FCPX to perform better on an existing computer (or any comuter) is to swap your hard drive for an SSD. SSDs read and write so fast compared to even the fastest hard drive that you can do multicam edits in real time without dropping frames. Rendering is a lot faster becuse it writes the render to disk, and so is launching and exporting (or, as Apple insists, 'Sharing'), which also writes to disk. SSDs may seem expensive (they are coming down in price), but the productivity gains are absolutly worth it.

Which New Graphic Card For 2008 Mac Pro?

I'm going to buy Final Cut X, so I'll need a new graphic card for my 2008 MacPro. My current card is an ATI Radeon HD 2600.
I asked AppleCare and they sent me a link to a lot of compatible cards (copied below).
But it turns out that most of these cards need Windows - at least according to specs - and the rest don't have the (2) DVI-D connections I need - so which card should I buy?
The card has to work with my 2 Acer P243W 24" screens at 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz.
Here's Apple's list:
•    NVIDIA
o    GeForce 320M
o    GeForce GT 330M
o    GeForce 9400M
o    GeForce 9600M GT
o    GeForce 8600M GT Note: OpenCL compatible, but does not meet system requirements for Final Cut Pro X, Motion 5 and Compressor.
o    GeForce GT 120
o    GeForce GT 130
o    GeForce GTX 285
o    GeForce 8800 GT
o    GeForce 8800 GS
o    Quadro FX 4800
o    Quadro FX5600
•    ATI
o    Radeon HD 4670
o    Radeon HD 4850
o    Radeon HD 4870
o    Radeon HD 5670
o    Radeon HD 5750
o    Radeon HD 5770

Once you look at what is sold, limits the list. None of those listed require Windows though. What specs? I don't see any specs. And of course nothing listed are Windows, that would be strange. Why you pasted notebook and iMac graphic adapters... unless Apple is selling FCPX for Windows.
Forget the GT120 though some use it with FCPX and are okay with it, save a little though I think 5770 has more processing, bandwidth and of course 1GB DDR5.
support for 6870 PC card is looking like a possible option now, too.
It is more mainly just 5770 vs 5870. Or Quadro 4000.
Amazon has PNY Mac Pro edition $790 vs Apple's $1195 for same card
PNY Quadro 4000 2 GB DDR5 Mac Pro
When FCX came out we had a couple threads on same topic.
Apple Graphics Cards

Radeon 6870 3DMark 30% gain on 5870
Flashed PC Radeon HD5870 Mac Pro 2008

I include the above for same reason why when the 4870 came out, PC card was 1/2 price and $450 for 5870? really? when XFX and Saffire are under $199.

Which internal Hard Drive for a Mac Pro

Hi there
anyone got any preferences or heard anything negative about,Seagate, Hitachi and Western 500GB Hard Drives to fit in a Mac Pro ? Or is there another make I should be looking at ?
Just about to upgrade and Apple prices are silly.
Thanks

Western Digital strongly recommends not using the RE2 for non-RAID desktops for a reason. It's not that you can't use it for a non-RAID, but only if your data safety isn't a major concern to you.
This is one of their warnings in their own words:
"It is important to realize TLER-capable hard drives should not be used in non-RAID environments."
Digging a little deeper into WDC's website they give the reason:
"Western Digital manufactures desktop edition hard drives and RAID Edition hard drives. Each type of hard drive is designed to work specifically in either a desktop computer environment or on RAID controller...
"When an error is found on a desktop edition hard drive, the drive will enter into a deep recovery cycle to attempt to repair the error, recover the data from the problematic area, and then reallocate a dedicated area to replace the problematic area. This process can take up to 2 minutes depending on the severity of the issue. Most RAID controllers allow a very short amount of time for a hard drive to recover from an error. If a hard drive takes too long to complete this process, the drive will be dropped from the RAID array. Most RAID controllers allow from 7 to 15 seconds for error recovery before dropping a hard drive from an array. Western Digital does not recommend installing desktop edition hard drives in an enterprise environment (on a RAID controller).
"Western Digital RAID edition hard drives have a feature called TLER (Time Limited Error Recovery) which stops the hard drive from entering into a deep recovery cycle. The hard drive will only spend 7 seconds to attempt to recover. This means that the hard drive will not be dropped from a RAID array.
"If you install a RAID edition hard drive in a desktop computer, the computer system may report more errors than a normal desktop hard drive (due to the TLER feature). Western Digital does not recommend installing RAID edition hard drives into a desktop computer environment."
Of course when they are speaking of desktop hard drives here, they mean it in the context of non-RAID. Elsewhere on their site they recommend the RE2 for desktops but only in the context of a RAID system.

Which E-SATA card for new Mac Pro??

I have the new Mac Pro 8-core 2.26GHz (Nehalem) and need to connect my two Western Digital drives via their E-SATA ports for video editing.
I bought a Sonnet Tempo card, having being led to believe this was one of the better cards, but sadly when I installed it, it didn't work. Careful reading of the small print on the Sonnet website informed me it wasn't actually compatible with the new MacPro.
Could someone recommend a E-SATA card (2 ports) for use with my system. I'm struggling to find one.
Cheers
Keith.

Hi,
Unfortunately, the WD MyBook is not ideal for video editing. The enclosures use a bridge board that splits the connection between USB/FireWire/eSATA. This type of connection usually slows eSATA performance and is not compatible with all eSATA controllers. As a result, starting with the WD MyBook puts eSATA users at a disadvantage.
I agree with hatter that you would be better off with the Sonnet Tempo E4P and the FirmTek SeriTek/5PM. You could still use the WD MyBook as a backup device.
http://www.amug.org/amug-web/html/amug/reviews/articles/sonnet/mac-pro/
http://www.amug.org/amug-web/html/amug/reviews/articles/firmtek/5pm/
http://firmtek.stores.yahoo.net/sata5pm.html
FirmTek sells a 2-port card with the SeriTek/5PM, but as it is Silicon Image SiI3132 based, performance will be limited to approx. 135MB/sec. with a single cable. If a dual bay direct connect enclosure like the SeriTek/2EN2 is used the RAID 0 performance will be approximately 150MB/sec. when the volume is empty.
Moving up to the Sonnet Tempo E4P can provide 210MB/sec. write and 250MB/sec. read performance with the SeriTek/5PM and a multi-drive RAID 0 configuration.
Most users interested in video editing are looking for high performance. However, if you don't need a high performance RAID, a 2-port card like the SeriTek/2SE2-E will do the job.

Which one is better for uploading data LSMW or ECATT ?

I am going to implement my product in customer place.which tool I can use for uploading data.ECATT or LSMW whch one is better to upload master data and transaction data ,which one is user friendly?kindly guide me on this.

Hello TJK,
LSMW and eCATT has different functionalitites and different advantages, but common thing is they are used for data upload.
eCATT is mainly used as a testing tool for follow-on transactions i.e. Purchase Requisition, Purchase order, Goods Receipt etc.
Where as LSMW is used for Master data (Materials, Customer, Vendor, BOM, Inforecord etc) and some of the transactions data (Purchase order, purchase requisition)
There are many standard objects are available in LSMW so most of the consultants use LSMW, but again depends on the requirement.
This will help to understand the basics of eCATT.

and here it is for LSMW

WHICH ONE IS BETTER FOR YEAR 6 STUDENT, MACBOOK PRO 13.3" i5 WITH RETINA VS i7?

My son is a year 6 boy. He needs a macbook for his study (of cause he wants it for leisure). He choose from his school purchase program:
Macbook Pro 13.3" - intel Dual-core 2.9Ghz Core i7/8 GB DDR3 RAM/750GB HDD/SDXC/Intel HD Graphics 4000/Super Drive/Bluetooth 4.0/802.11n wireless/Facetime HD camera/Aluminium (HKD$14013)
vs
Macbook Pro13.3" with retina display - Intel Dual-core 2.6GHz Core i5/8GB DDR3 RAM/256GB SSD Intel HD Graphics 4000/Bluetooth/Airport/Facetime HD camera/Alumium (HKD$15288)
Both with same Protection and Adobe CS6 Design package for teaching.
Looking for your opinion
Thanks

6 year old boy?
Don't you mean a 16 year old?
A 6 year old can barely lift a MacBook Pro and certainly can't use complicated CS6.
I wouldn't trust a 16 year old with a $2000-$3000 computer + $2000 in software unless they did some thing to earn it, a 6 year old will likely take it outside in the yard and smear mud all over it.
Most parents who get they kids a computer usually get a iMac as it's stationary and not prone to being lost, tossed or stolen.
Show me where this 6 year old is with a $2000 laptop and I'll show you a army of thugs waiting to take it from him.
