Which should I use to import my photos in tho my MacBook Pro - iPhoto '11 or Lightroom 4 ? And, why, please ?
I have two questions, please.
1. Which should I use to import, edit and manage my photos - iPhoto 11 or Lightroom 4, and why?
2. How do I save my edited photos as albums and export them to be stored in my Apple Time Capsule for members of my family to import and add to their Apple devices.
Thank you.
This is an impossible question for anyone to answer for you. Only you know what you're shooting - Raw or Jpeg? Are you a Pro or an Amateur? If you're an Amateur are you a serious hobbyist or just a guy who snaps pics at the kid's birthday parties to send to Grandma.
You can compare the feature sets of the two apps. In a nutshell:
iPhoto is a $15 app. It's designed with the family snapper in mind. For that you get a lot: Lossless processing, complete management, lightweight editing, integration throughout the entire OS.
LIghtroom is about $150 these days. It's designed for a professional setting. For that you get lossless processing - but a lot more fine control, less management, powerful editing, no integration with the OS.
From a photography point of view, if you're a pro or a serious hobbyist then there's no discussion. If you're not, then LR might well be a sledgehammer to crack a monkey nut.
If you want all the convenience of iPhoto with the power of Lightroom, check out Aperture.
As to your Q2: depends on your answer to Q1. But that's not an intended use of a Time Capsule.

Which interface to use to run 2 extra screens with a macbook pro 13"
Hi All
Just bought MBP 13" (non retina) and would like to hear about some external monitor solutions in particular which interfaces are used.
Is the USB3 slot best to use with DisplayLink kit or the Thunderbolt and DisplayPort stuff.
My need is to run LogicPro 9 over 3 windows as this will improve my productivity, had been used to just MB White Screen and 1 external VGA Monitor.
Any suggestions would be most welcome...
In anticipation

Should I Use An External Burner For Better Quality With Macbook Pro?
Hey I have a macbook pro and used IDVD to burn a movie but near the end it freezes and kinda skips a bit and I was wondering cause it takes two to three hours to burn will using an external burner be better quality?
will using an external burner be better quality?
Ext. Burners tolerate burning multiple copies with fewer read / write errors better than the stock internal S-Drive that come built into many mac laptops. Stock drives heat up faster than external burners do for the most part. So the answer is, it's very possible you will get slightly better results with an external burner as opposed to an internal laptop S-Drive when burning back to back copies.
I recommend using Verbatim Dvd-r media and burning from a disc image at 4x or slower for best results. -

What program should i use to archive my photos ?
what program should i use to archive my photos ? i have tried aperture and the mage browsing program that comes with canon, but i just cant find the right program to be fast and efficent ! any suggestions ?
" work for a news paper so i have a large amount of photos coming and going in my system, so i need a program that is faster and more efficient that aperture"
I believe you are looking for a lightweight image browser/viewer that supports basic editing. I highly recommend Lyn and believe it is the exact program for your purposes. It is $20, but you are offered a free 30$ trial.

Extended vs joined network - which should I use
I have a Time Capsule connected to my iMac and in the living room I have an airport express that I stream music to. Which should I use. Extended or joined netowrk. I find that if it is extended my MacBook Air, iPad and iPhone run a lot slower than if it is a joined network. If it is an extended network all my portable devices are sitting on the Airport Express. If it is a joined network they are sitting on the time capsule where I get the better performance.
In terms of the streaming of my music though it doesn't matter whether it's joined or extended.I have a Time Capsule connected to my iMac and in the living room I have an airport express that I stream music to. Which should I use. Extended or joined netowrk.
For the purpose of streaming only, you will want to configure the AirPort Express to "join" the wireless network provided by the Time Capsule. The Express will, in turn, perform simply as another wireless client on the network and not introduce the bandwidth overhead of an extended network.

That is correct. -
Two installers downloaded with Shockwave: 1) Installer_full, 2) Uninstaller. Nothing describes differences. Which should I use?
Aren't the names quite clear:
Uninstaller is, well, the uninstaller
Installer_full is the installer
depending of what you want to do, use one or the other. -
I imported a photo from my email to my iphoto. I am on a Mac OSX version 10.6.8. But now my HP printer 7510 is printing my documents with the photo cartridge rather than the regular black cartridge. How do I correct this.
Seems like an odd question for an iPhoto forum and more one for an HP forum.

i have just bought a macbook pro and i want to use an ext hard drive with it which i previously used on a windows computer, but when i plug it in it doesn't show up on my macbook pro, I've wiped it and just need to format it but don't know how, any help would be much appreciated
Try the other USB port. If it still doesn't show up in Disk Utility then there may be something wrong with your Mac. Try something else in each USB port and see if it is seen. If the other thing, like a USB thumb drive, does show up in disk utiltiy then the USB ports are fine.
Power down the system and restart with the drive connected, go to DU and see it it is seen. -
I am running a MacBook Pro with 10.7.5 and I downloaded the OS X 10.10.2 Update Combo.
When I try and open the package after accepting the lincence-agreement and upon choosing the install-volume the error message appears: "This volume is used for TimeMachine-backups".
Which is not true. I´m using a timecapsule for backups.
How can I proceed?I am using a MacBook Pro (2010) with 2.53 GHz Intel Core i5, 4GB, 1067 MHz, DDR3, Startvolume Macintosh HD.
After downloading the package and starting upgrading it asks acceptance of the license-agreement. After that it asks for the volume were to install. And when I click on the Startvolume Macintosh HD (which is the only available on the machine) it says: "The volume is already being used for Time Machine-Backups".
It doesn´t offer to skip that point or to reconfigure the Time Machine settings.
The point is that my Time machine is not and has never used the Mac HD for Backups. In the past I have used an external drive and since 05/2014 I am using a Time Capsule which is appropriately addressed in the Time Machine settings.
