Which WiFi is best for Macbook running 10.5.8 in Los Angeles?

I HATE ATT and I hate paying for their DSL line into my office. I run a non-profit therapy center in Los Angeles for Alzheimers and ATT charges me as a business so I pay through the nose. Therefore I'm looking into dropping the ATT DSL line and going instead with a Wifi card into my laptop to get an internet connection from the cyber heavens.
Which company (not ATT please) do you think is best to provide a reliable service in West LA with speeds at least equal to DSL and how much do you think it will cost?
Thanks

Oh yes, Skype alone uses a significant amount of data before adding your video conference usage. Skype uses a peer to peer (P2P) network design to handle it's calls, so your computer and connection are helping the network by passing calls on. This means even when you are not making a call (audio only, instant messaging, or video conference) you are still using your bandwidth. For most cable and DSL users with effectively if not actually unlimited usage, this is trivial. For a cellular based user, this has a huge impact.
What do you call 'expensive' in terms of just your internet connection? DSL is usually the more affordable connection type in terms of raw cost. Cable usually delivers more total speed per dollar, but normally requires a higher minimum service cost. You may have more than one DSL and/or cable provider available in your area, so shopping around is a good idea.

    Which browser is best for macbook pro.
    I have used Safari for a couple of years but have been told recently that I would be better switching to Chrome

    The best browser for you depends on your specific needs; as you can install multiple browsers without them interfering with each other, download Firefox, Chrome, and any others you'd like to try out, and pick the one which works best for you.

  • Which Mac is best for music purposes?  I want to mix music recorded from MIDI and live sound, and also want to use Sibelius to play music in.  I'm looking at MacBook Pros; any tips?  13" or 15"?

    Which Mac is best for music purposes?  I want to mix music recorded from MIDI and live sound, and also want to use Sibelius to play music in.  I'm looking at MacBook Pros; any tips?  13" or 15"?

    I would think a 15" with the i7 CPU. You can get a 13" with the i7 CPU but the 15" has a dedicated graphic chip along with the intergrated one.
    You will also need to upgrade the hard drive to a faster 7200RPM model instead of the standard 5400RPM model that comes with all MBPs. The Sibelius website recommends the 7200RPM or a SSD. You will also be better off installing 8GBs of RAM.
    Both of those upgrades can be made after you buy a MBP for much less then Apple charges for the same upgrades and you get to keep the original RAM and hard drive.

  • Which SSD is the best for Macbook pro 17''

    I want to upgrade my HDD in my mac (i have the 750Gb 5400rpm from the factory) with a new SSD.
    I ask if someone knows which ssd is best for my mac (17'' early 2011 2.3ghz).
    I also read in many forums that they has problems about write-erase etc. And something about TRIM (i really dont know what it is...)
    I only use my mac for my job ( i am a tv-film director and i use it to edit)
    Will i see any diferents (i work with FinalCut-Premiere-AfterEffect) if i install ssd for what i do or it will be a waste of money?
    Thanks a lot!

  • What office program is best for macbook air 2013

    what office program is best for macbook air 2013

    To create some sanity here:
    If you are going to share files with family, friends, and coworkers Microsoft Office is the obvious and easy (though expensive) choice.
    If you are trying to save money and still remain compatible with friends LibreOffice is free and can read/write Microsoft Office files nearly perfectly.
    Another free choice is Apple's iWork suite (you'll have to download it from the App store because it isn't pre-installed) Numbers, Pages, and Keynote. These programs read Microsoft documents mostly accurately but not quite as well as LibreOffice and export to Office compatible documents. But neither LibreOffice nor iWork saves in Microsoft formats by default which means you must remember to export them. That can be a problem.
    In terms of ease of use I give iWork a slight edge over the other two. In terms of doing annoying things I don't expect, Office is the hands down winner.

  • Which book is best for learning Lightroom 5 for a complete beginner?

    I'm an Aperture user and as everyone has heard the news, a lot of us are considering switching over. I went through the Apple pro-training aperture, logic, and FCP books and loved the format of those. I've been reviewing my options for LR5 books on Amazon and I see a couple, Kelby, Evening, and The Adobe Classroom in a book. I kind of like the classroom in a book format as it resembles the Apple book's format. Which book is best for learning LR5, from a complete beginner's perspective?

    I would avoid Kelby like the plague. I didn't like his book, I felt his chapters on the Library module were effectively useless and off the mark.
    I would start with the free e-book Lightroom 5 - Free Quick Start Guide PDF eBook | The Lightroom Queen
    I would also watch some videos at Products | Lightroom | Adobe TV

    Kindly go through Creative Cloud pricing and membership plans | Adobe Creative Cloud
    If you need it for 2-3 months please check of month-to-months plan as the Annual membership comes with a contact and there would be an early termination fee attached to it. which is 50% of the remaining months.

  • Which headset work best for iPad Air

    Which headset work best for iPad Air

    This can be highly subjective. I would pick a few models that you think you'd like, then read the reviews at the Apple Store link that Diavonex directed you to. Also read the reviews on Amazon.com as well to get a feel for a few models and what kind of sound they can produce.
    Back to the "subjective" aspect I mentioned...when the Apple Ear Pods were released (they now come standard with all new iPhones), I had an iPhone 4 at the time and had the older headphones (the new Ear Pods were introduced/released with the iPhone 5). I heard great things about them and almost purchased a set when they went on sale as a stand-alone item but I decided not to. When I upgraded my phone to an iPhone 5, I got them included with the new phone. Great, I thought...well, after trying them, I hated them and I still do. They produce way too much bass for my personal taste and sound boomy. I much prefer the older model. It's just personal preference.
    Read the reviews and see if they describe how the headphones sound...boomy, tinny, clear, muddy, etc and try to match that to what your preference may be.

    you really have only one choice, Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium but you can save by buying the System Builder edition.

  • Which imac is best for my daughter? 2.7 or 2.9 ghz

    MY daughter is going to study A level moving image at college, before going onto university. My wife and I are computer novices, so would like some advice. We are looking at the 21.5 imac either 2.7 or 2.9ghz, is there much difference between the two in terms of speed.
    Also the options we are looking at are 16gb memory and 256gb flash drive (over the 1tb fusion dr). We will be getting preinstalled Final cut pro x and aperture. Will this set up be enough to comfortably run the programs?, or should i get a 8gb memory and 512gb flash drive. The mac would be used for photo and video editing, internet, college work etc.
    THe only other difference between the two (2.7 or 2.9ghz models) is the 2.9 comes with a NVIDIA Geforce GT780m with 1GB video memory, which i presume is a graphics card, is this worth having if not into gaming?, would it be useful when running Final cut and video editing?
    Any advice  would be most grateful, as its quite a financial outlay, and we know next to nothing about imacs or computers

    For graphic arts and film editing I’d recommend the 27” iMac with 16GB or 32GB of RAM. The 27” display makes editing much more enjoyable than the smaller display and the RAM can be upgraded at a later date. The 21.5” iMac cannot be upgraded at all. For film and graphic editing 16GB should be plenty now. I don’t recommend less than 16GB. A 256GB SSD should be sufficient for school work, projects, some music etc. I also recommend a 1TB USB 3 hard drive for backing up the computer using TimeMachine.
    Further, at some point your daughter will probably begin creating larger projects and her raw footage and extra files won’t fit on the internal drive and/or the rendered project won’t fit. This isn’t likely to happen in the first year (but might). At that point you’ll want to add a 1-3GB ThunderBolt hard drive. ThunderBolt drives send and accept data differently than USB drives which make them better for movie and sound recording projects. USB 3 is perfectly fine for backing up.
    The increased speed of the i7 processor and video card are real but really not as important as RAM and hard drive.
