Why RAM Preview 2x faster on Macbook Pro vs Desktop PC?
Hello everyone,
I RAM Previewed a few seconds of an AE CS6 project on a Desktop PC I recently had custom-built, and was distraught to discover it was twice as slow as previewing the exact clip on my Macbook Pro. The project involves simple 3D camera movements. Why might this be so, and can I tweak my PC settings to get more out of it?? I will greatly appreciate any feedback I can get...I'm still new to the Adobe world, and even newer to computer configuration. Thank you!
Desktop PC
16 GB RAM DDR3
Intel Core i7-4770K Haswell 3.5GHz

Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
Macbook Pro (August 2012)
8 GB RAM DDR3
2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 512 MB
OS X 10.9.1

Thank you!!
No SSD Drive on the Mac, just 1 TB HDD
The CPU's Processor is: Intel Core i7-4770K Haswell 3.5GHz
and the Mac's is: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
I don't know what differences between these may apply to this dilemma.
Here are a few screenshots of the project:
Text objects with Turbulent Noise effect, floating in space, with a .eps image as the ground, with a 3D one-node camera using depth of field, and 3D lights.
I hope this helps!
Thank you all again.

Why is it that the new Macbook Pro processor upgrade option only offers up to 2.8 Ghz boosting to 3.3 Ghz with Intel Dual Core i7, when back in Sep 12 I bought a 2.9 Ghz boosting to 3.6 Ghz Intel Dual Core i7 Macbook, is the new one tuned somehow to go much faster anyway, or will the new one be slower in fact? Or does the solid state drive compensate for the lack of increased processor capacity?
The CPU's come from different Intel 'families'. The older ones are 'Ivy Bridge' and the newer ones are 'Haswell'. Numbers alone will not determine the efficiency of CPU.

How do I test RAM on a mid 2010 MacBook Pro
Yesterday I upgraded my RAM from 4gb to 8gb.
I want to do a hardware test to check all is working fine behind the scenes. I trawled yesterday for answers, have tried to perform the AHT with Option D etc but think due the age of my Mac this capability isn't valid on my Macbook pro?
Can someone recommend the best way to test my RAM. I am using MacBook Pro - Mid 2010 cycle, 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, OS X 10.9.3
Would appreciate some advice.Download from Kelley Computing REMBER. Run it overnight in order to execute sufficient loops.

This is more thorough than the Apple Hardware Test.

1333Mhz Ram showing up as 1600Mhz MacBook Pro 15 Late 2011
Hi All,
I have a weird problem here.
I have a late 2011 15inch Macbook Pro. I recently upgraded it to 1333MHZ 8GB (4X2) transcend RAM - (Transcend RAM Model JM1333KSH-4G)
Now the problem is that the transcend RAM specifications show that these are 4GB 1333MHZ RAM but on installing in my Macbook Pro, it shows the frequency as 1600MHZ under "About Mac" menu. I have tried this with 4 different transcend RAMs to make sure that RAMs are ok. All the 4 RAMs show 1600 MHZ in my mac. Can this be a problem with my laptop?
Apple support team suggested to reinstall the OS so that it updates with the correct information. I reinstalled the OS (not clean install, just reinstall), but still it shows 1600MHZ.
Can somebody explain the problem to me? Is this normal ?
Thanks in advance.
VikramHi Dominic,
Thanks for the reply.I really appreciate.
This is one of the safest solution.I can return it but in our region Transcend is a trusted brand with acceptable service and repair. So, there are not too many reasons from moving away from the brand !!
Further, i have tried with 4 different RAMs.All resulted in the same problem. My guess is that either the RAM model or my laptop is having problem.
It would be great if some of our friends who have done a similar RAM upgrade with Late 2011 Macbook pro can share their experiences.
Hopefully, i am not the only one to fall for transcend
Thanks,

I loaded a lot of music from my CDs on to my iMac at home. All my music is stored on the cloud. So why is the music on my MacBook Pro different. The CDs are missing from this list. The iTunes account details I use on both computers is the same.
Hi Chris,
Thanks for the reply.
I think you ave sorted my problem with your question. I thought that as my iTunes account was on their server (Cloud) and I had previously added CDs which showed up, that all my music was "on the cloud". I used to use Match but when I turned it off lost all my music that I had previously loaded onto my computer.
So I guess I have to use the cloud again to access my songs. This is frustrating as I fly a lot and can not use the music (Cloud based) when the phone is in flight mode as there is no internet.
So how then do I retrieve all my music to my iMac and have my laptop synced so they are the same?
I am totally confused now. -
Why cant i upgrade my 17in macbook pro (s/w 10.6.8)to mavericks
why cant i upgrade my 17in macbook pro (s/w 10.6.8)to mavericks? I do not know what month it was built. I bought it as a refurbished by Apple a few months ago.
Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks/Yosemite.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) model number 2,1 or higher
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Xserve (Early 2009) model number 3,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
8 GB or more of available space
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.
Application Compatibility
Applications Compatibility (2)
Do a backup before installing.
Your iMovie and iPhoto data should be good, but you will have to upgrade the applications.
If you decide the upgrade isn't worth it, you can share Mail, Calendars, and Contacts running Snow Leopard. Based on my experience, I don’t recommend syncing Contacts - created a lot of problems with duplicates. If you have 2 step verification enabled on your Apple ID, you will need to generate an application specific password for Mail, iCal, and Address Book. Apple ID - Manage
Snow Leopard iCloud - Address and iCal

Why there no more upgrade for MacBook Pro 17in ?
Why there no more upgrade for MacBook Pro 17in ?
The story I heard was that there wasn't enough volume of sales for Apple to expend the resources to develop the line further. When the 17" MBP line only accounted for 2-3% of the sales, it wasn't enough to offset the expense to engineer it, stock it, support it, etc. What they chose to do was to offer the retina display 15" MBP that supports the same resolution (and possibly higher) and at the same time reduce the number of models they have to support.

Sorry for the confusion here & Thanks. -
I set up homesharing between macbook pro and desktop pc. I have attempted to sync songs on my mac and pc, but the ipod will not sync the full library. why not?
Hey harold WD!
You will want to consolidate your entire library onto one computer using Home Sharing in order to sync all of these items onto your iPod. Use the following article to help you accomplish this:

MacBook Pro with 4GB of memory and a 2.3 GHz Intel. No other program running other than Preview.
1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) on the advice of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
Paste into the window of another application.
Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Can you upgrade the RAM on a Retina Display Macbook Pro?
So I've been looking around for information on whether the RAM on a Retina Macbook Pro can be upgraded and the mixed messages have left me confused. If I take my Macbook Pro (Retina Display) to an Apple store for a RAM upgrade and offer to pay them for the RAM and installation, would they do it for me?
Thanks and if you can't, please explain why.
I am aware that the RAM is soldered into the motherboard making it very difficult to perform the upgrade, but will some stores actually do it for you?The MacBook Pro with Retina display is soldered onto the logic board, so RAM can't be added without replacing the logic board.
I know there are shops that may try to add more RAM without replacing the logic board, but they aren't official resellers and if something happens, the warranty will be voided. Apple won't do it.
If you want, you can sell your MacBook Pro and get another one with more RAM. It's the best way to do it, because I don't think you want to spend a lot of money replacing the logic board or you want to take it to a non-official technical support, putting the Mac in risk
