Will the new 13 MBP 2.4 Ghz be fast enough to properly run Aperture 3?

I'm in the market for purchasing a macbook pro (currently have an 07' model macbook), and my question is will the 13 inch 2.4 Ghz be able to properly run aperture 3? My current macbook is able to run it, but quickly overheats and becomes alot slower, and while the 15 inch mbp does sound great, the size is just too big for me (also on a tight budget).
Thanks for the help.

Depends on your definition of properly and, more specifically, what types of images you usually work with in Aperture. JPEGS would be no problem. Smaller RAW files should be fine as well. If, however you're working with RAW files from a newer DLSR (15-24 megapixels each), then you're going to find Aperture sluggish. This isn't only because of the processor, which is still decent, but also because of the slower integrated graphics rather than the higher performance discrete graphics found in the larger MacBook Pros.
You'll also have a relatively slow 5400 RPM hard drive unless you're going for an SSD (which I doubt given your budget). All these factors add up to limit performance in one of the most performance intensive apps around.
FWIW, if Aperture is your primary app (it's mine and I love it), I'd go with a 15". Besides performance, the screen size on a 13" is pretty small for working with apps like Aperture and Photoshop and hi-res photos. If you really can't swing the 15", you might want to take a look at Lightroom. Although I don't like it as much as Aperture, particularly when it comes to organizing my images, it does perform much better on slower hardware.

  • Will the new MBP's run Leopard (10.5)?

    I was trying to boot my i5 MacBook Pro with an external HD that has Leopard. I was able to select that HD for start-up. However, after the chime, it gets stuck at the apple logo and the computer gets very hot.
    I'm thinking that the new MBP's don't like Leopard.

  • Will the new mac mini run FCP X well?

    I currently use a mid 2009 17 inch Unibody MacBook Pro (3.06 Ghz intel core 2 duo, 8GB Ram, and upgraded 1TB SSD hardrive) and have experienced some lag when rendering projects while editing in FCP X.  The SSD harddrive upgrade has proved increase of overall performance tremendously.  However, I want more power.
    My question is:  Will the new high end mac mini, which was just announced

    You'll get less problems if you move your Events and Projects off of the system drive and on to a secondary drive, to start with.  Get a FW800 drive (I've been happy with on-the-go drives from Other World Computing for years), move all Events and Proejcts to it.
    Mac Mini?  Only if you get it with 16GB RAM and the Fussion Drive (which no one has really tested for video editing yet, so I'd be cautious.  Better would be the SSD drive internally and a T'bolt drive for your Events and Projects.
    But, I've not seen an reliable, verifiable reports about how it holds up to real world editing.  I personally won't touch anything until I see real world benchmarks for video editing specifically.

  • Are the new MacBook's 2.0 GHz faster than PowerPC G4 1.33GHz?

    I have a 15" PowerPC G4 1.33 GHz, and looking to upgrade to Intel, but was wondering if it's worth it. Are the new MacBook Intel Mac's that much faster and better than the PowerPC 1.33 GHz G4's?
    Thanks
    -Dean

    To elaborate on what JoeyR said,
    Yes, the new Intel machines will feel a fair amount faster both because of the architecture (a core solo was a little slower than a G5), and the fact that it is dual core.
    The caveat is: You have to ask yourself which programs you use a lot, and whether they are Universal Binary (able to be run on both PPC and Intel processors). PPC only programs will be run under Rosetta which emulates the PPC environment. Obviously this may make some programs feel sluggish, especially when you start the programs.
    But, I love my Macbook.
    Best,

  • HT3406 If I choose "restore from iTunes backup" to move everything from old phone.  Will I still be able to use the old phone for music and apps?  Can the old phone be docked up to the computer?  Or will the new and old phone overwrite each other in some

    If I choose "restore from iTunes backup" to move everything from old iphone to a new one, will I still be able to use the old phone for music and apps?  Can the old phone be docked up to that same computer every now and then?  Or will the new and old phone overwrite each other in some way?  In other words, are the two phones treated as different devices when the "restore" option is used to set up the new phone?   Thanks in advance.

    Yes, you can use the old iPhone as an iPod touch.

  • Have iTunes version 10 .3 but do not understand cloud in iTunes 11.03 can someone explain it and also how do you find duplicates in new version and will the new version sync with my iPod Classic which I have had for 4 years

    I have iTunes version 10.03 which I love but my iPad Apple mini has iOS 7 but I don't understand the new iTunes what is the cloud shown next to the music and how can I find duplicates can anyone help me navigate the new iTunes and will the new version sync with my iPod Classic which is 4 years old

    The main differences between iTunes 11 and earlier versions are the loss of coverflow and ability to have multiple windows open.
    In Windows, you can restore much of the look & feel of iTunes 10.7 with these shortcuts:
    ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
    CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
    CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
    CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
    Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
    Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
    If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album (Grid) view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
    With iTunes 11.0.3 and later you can enable artwork in the Songs view from View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) making it more like the old Album List view
    View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) also contains options to change the sorting of grid based views
    The cloud icons give you access to stream or download any qualifying past purchases that you don't currently have downloaded to the library.
    Regarding duplicates, things haven't really changed. Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)
    Yes, iTunes 11 will support your iPod classic.

  • Will the new 10.6.8 update fix SATA3 issues related with 2011 MacBook Pros?

    Will the new 10.6.8 update fix SATA3 issues related with 2011 MacBook Pros?

    It is against TOU to speculate on these message board.  Suggest you post your question on the Mac Rumors site.
    As I already stated, there is no 10.6.8 update.  If there was, it would be listed in Software Update.

  • Will the new lightning to 30-pin adapter support.... ?

    Will the new lightning to 30-pin adapter support a cord at which the 30 pin goes and splits into a RCA cable for audio output and USB for charging, this is what is used in my car currently to feed my former iphone 4 into the cars stereo while also charging?  My question is there is no video output only audio and charging, will it work?

    doubt it as it would be as easy for the old charger to do that as the new ligthing
    when a feature is removed then it would not make much sense to remove it and then reinterduce it later on with no benefit to the producer of the product

  • Will the new iPad open password protected PDF files?

    I attend college online, and have always had a problem viewing password protected PDF files on my iPad. Will the new iPad allow opening these files?
    Thank you!

    You can install the same iOS version running the new iPad onto your iPad.
    Download the free Adobe Reader app from the App Store. It opens password protected PDFs just like thee desktop version.

  • If you change the image mode of this image from 8-bit RGB image to Grayscale mode while in PSCS – what will the new Pixel Count be?

    If you change the image mode of this image from 8-bit RGB image to Grayscale
    mode while in PSCS – what will the new Pixel Count be?

    If you mean by Pixel count the number of pixels, this will not change. The image will have the same size thus the same number of pixels.

  • Will the new time capsule back up Windows on an iMac running Parallels Desktop?

    Will the new time capsule back up Windows on an iMac running Parallels Desktop?

    Windows home version MSBackup, cannot backup to network drives.
    That was a little bonus from Bill for those who didn't fork out for Pro or Ultimate.
    Like people with home versions would never need to backup to network drives.. oh no.. never!!
    You need to mount the hard disk in windows for it to work.
    It will help a lot if you load the airport utility for windows into your windows OS.

    Open windows explorer and type the network address of the TC.
    \\TCname.local (where TCname is the correct network name of the TC).
    The TC should have all names that are windows compatible.. ie
    Fred Blog's Airport Time Capsule is just wrong. It is too long, it has spaces and it has apostrophe which is illegal.
    A good name for the TC is TC
    The default hard disk share name of data is fine. It should not be Time Capsule or anything again that is over long .. has spaces or is otherwise incompatible with windows.
    A good name for the TC wifi is TCwifi
    Then you can mount it \\TC
    typing that directly into the address bar of windows explorer.
    There are still issues with windows naturally and running in parallels I have no idea what other issues might come up.
    Tell me if you have issues.. but you will need most likely to check the network.
    Open a command window and ping the TC by name and by IP address. If IP address works just mount by IP.
    \\10.0.1.1 for example .. and that is the default TC IP address when in router mode.
    If you still cannot access the TC my recommendation is to use a USB drive and use that.. it is 10x easier and more reliable than mixing Mac and windows backups on the TC.

  • Will the new final cut pro x work with my Final cut pro version 6.0.6 data

    will the new final cut pro x work with my Final cut pro version 6.0.6 data

    Thanks Tom.
    So I will need  upgrade to FCP 7 first, then convert to an XML file in 6.0.6, then convert to another file that FCP X can read? I have a lot of half done projects that need finishing. Is this process very complex and time consuming?
    Maybe I should be approaching this from a different angle. The reason I am asking is that I now need to upgrade to a new Mac book pro and have been told that I cant run final cut pro 6.0.6 on the new models using maverick. Is this true?

  • Will the New iTunes 11 for Windows work on Windows 98???

    Will the New iTunes 11 for Windows work on Windows 98???
    A. True.
    B. False.

    My opinion is no. Apple has no plans updating version 11 to meet the needs of Windows 98 being that #1 - Windows is pushing forward with their Windows 8 operating system launching in a week and iTunes 11 would have needed to be re-written from scratch to accomodate the Windows 7 and Windows 8 systems. It is a known issue that iTunes is bloated and most Windows users will use other media players to manage their music rather than iTunes. #2, Windows 98 is so old that even Windows does not recommend anyone using anything past XP as you are exposing your PC to viruses or anything that no longer can be patched. I highly recommend upgrading to atleast to Windows 7 and this is of course if your PC matches the bare minimum of hardware to use iTunes 10.7 and 11. You are actually doing more harm than good by using an outdated OS.
