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 MBP still run Snow Leopard?

I am considering buying a new MBP, but I need to know if it will run SL? Does anybody know?

The Early 2011 MacBook Pro being sold can still run Snow Leopard, I have such a machine here.
There is no hardware/driver difference as yet, perhaps not for long. Apple is keeping it's downgrade options open for now.
Just c boot off the 10.6.3 Snow Leopard install disk, use Disk Utility to erase and reformat the whole drive (deletes the Lion Recovery Partition) and install.
Make sure to make bootable copies of the Snow Leopard install disk
http://www.walterjessen.com/make-a-bootable-backup-snow-leopard-install-disc/
As you know, the Retail Disks of OS X don't contain the free iLife that comes with new Mac's (in the past on the grey disks or now on MAS)
I don't care much for Lion, less than stellar GUI's can be had for a lot less in hardware costs.

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.

Do the new MBPs still run hot?

I have a first generation MBP. It runs really, really hot. Are the new ones just announced any better?

Well so far, I haven't heard nothing about running hot I actually heard from a friend that they run cooler than previous versions, I'm waiting for mine to be shipped from apple, but your best bet would be to do a search around the boards, and see what you come up with.

Will the new Fire Fox run so well as the actua in my pc? I have an Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.40 GHz 736 MB RAM and Windows XP Version 2002 Service Pack 2 and Fire Fox 3.6.24 or it will take my pc more ressources than currently?

Pay attention to what rkaufmann87 is saying, because I agree.
Chrome is very resource intensive.
It is possible you are running other memory intensive apps.
You have a lot of 3rd party additions loaded at boot time. Do you really need all of them? Even after you get rid of MacCleaner (as suggested by rkaufmann87).
Do you really need the seagate and WD drive software? The Mac is fairly good at accessing disks without 3rd party intervention.
Any of the 3rd party additions listed by EtreCheck that you do not need, you should consider uninstalling.
That fact that you have
171.19 GB Page-ins
in just about 4 days, says you have about 0.5megabytes per second. That is a huge load on your disk drive.
Either cut back on the RAM intensive apps, or get more RAM. At least 8GB, but if your Mac supports it, 16GB. Crucial.com and MacSales.com (OWC) are well respected by the long term forum contributes.

Will my new MBP 17" run okay on a 1080 tv ?

I'd been advised to get a 1920x1200 monitor (LG) but I'd prefer one with a TV tuner, and they are all 1080. Assuming I get the correct cables, would this display run okay - ie, I would get get full screen HD and no black edging ?
Thanks in advance

yes, just set the resolution to 1920 x 1080 and your good to go.

Will the new Lion software run turbo tax?

With Lion not supportng things like Quicken 2007 or Word, will it support Turbo Tax?

Yes, TT is Universal, not PowerPC:
Also, Lion supports Word 2008 and 2011, it's Microsoft that does not Support it's 7 year-old product, Word 2004, on Lion

Can the new MBP support three monitors?

Will the new MBP's support a three monitor setup? If I plugged one into the HDMI port and two through thunderbolt-to-DVI adapters, would the laptop recognize them all?
Thanks!

You would need an adapter like this one:

Will my new MBP have the same IP address if I use Migration Assistant?

In a couple of weeks I'll have my new MacBook Pro-13". I want to transfer all files from my current Intel MacBook via Migration Assistant. I'll have both Macs running 10.6.3 Snow Leopard or latest OS when I do this.
OK but now I still want to use the old MacBook -but won't the IP Address (looks like this: 192.168.0.###) be the same on both Macs after using Migration Assistant? If so, then how do I avoid that? Do I set-up my NEW MacBook Pro first and then use Migration Assistant? Or ???
Thanks for any advise as I will only have a couple of days to set-up my new MBP as I am giving the old MB to my daughter and then she's leaving to fly home! If no volcano of course!
Thanks,
Steve

Hi
+"are you saying that when I first start-up the new MBP my home wired and wireless internet setup will assign an IP number to the MBP that will be different from the existing MB?"+
Yes. Most 'ad-hoc' home networks will have 'something' handing out IP addresses. Typically this will be a Router or possibly Router/Modem combination depending which kind of DSL Service you have. In an environment like this the Router/Gateway will be the DHCP Server. If you're not manually assigning IP address this would be the case. No DHCP Server AFAIK hands out the same IP addresses to two or more separate devices connecting to the same network. If you are manually assigning IP Addresses you still would not do this. Even if you did a warning message would appear telling you the IP address was in use. This is typical of the sort of basic networking most home environments have.
+"Further I should then use Migration Assistant but I should NOT ENABLE the option to transfer network settings?"+
As already mentioned whenever I've tried this they never transfer anyway. In which case don't bother selecting the option. If you're using firewire cables you don't have to have them connected to any network at all.
It's always a good idea to turn on anything new and test it. It's not impossible for there to be a hardware problem. It's rare but it does happen.
HTH?

If i have Time Machine backed up on an external hard drive, do i just plug the drive into another macbook pro and all my stuff is in the new computer? also, does it matter if the new computer is running Lion when the backed up info came from Snow Leopard

If i have Time Machine backed up on an external hard drive, do i just plug the drive into another macbook pro and all my stuff is in the new computer? Also, does it matter if the new computer is running Lion when the backed up info came from Snow Leopard 10.6.8?

No and Yes
Don't use TM for this purpose, clone your drive to an external, plug the external into another MBP and reboot from it. Please note that booting a machine that came with Lion may not be possible from a drive with Snow Leopard.

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.
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1547
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.

HT5568 Will the new update uninstall any Java applications I am currently running?

Will the new update uninstall any Java applications I am currently running?

Safari? Removing your existing Java applications? No. That won't happen.
What will happen is the Java run-time and the Java plug-ins that were part of Safari. You will be using the Oracle web site, and you'll be downloading and configuring and operating and managing the Java environment and the Java plug-ins for Safari and other browsers more directly, and usually with downloads from Oracle.
Apple deprecated Java a while back, and they're now finishing the work and the transition of support over to the folks at Oracle, and of securing OS X from attacks against stale versions of Java.

Does the new MBP run hot?

I'm looking to buy the new MBP 15". Does anyone know if it runs hot? My current white polycarbonate first generation Intel Macbook always runs ridiculously hot.
Thanks!

Picked up a new 15" very recently. Subjective heat evaluation:
9400M: Very cool during general use (web browsing/email/etc...) Warm during gaming (WoW).
9600M GT: Warm during general use. Hot during gaming. VERY hot in Windows, gaming or not.
Of note, Windows only sees the 9600M GT, and gets uncomfortably hot (to the point I'm not only uncomfortable using it on my lap, but feel like I ought to be pointing a fan at the bottom-left (where the GPU is located).
The laptop was never uncomfortable on the 9400M, even while running WoW with the laptop directly on my lap. Just pleasantly warm. Same circumstances with the 9600M GT enabled I needed to throw a lapdesk under it, but it didn't get nearly as hot as under Windows.

Will an app that was developed for the new iPad resolution run on prior iPads?

Will an app that was developed for the new iPad resolution run on prior iPads?
What happens if we develop an app at 2048 x 1536 and try running it on iPad 2?

Yes.
It will run, but won't have the same resolution as New iPad.

Only having 4 hr on the new MBP 13inch I bought yesterday...

I am really concerned...I bought the new MBP 13 inch yesterday and saw terrible battery life. I thought I would give it a day, but today, after charging it fully, it only showed 4 hour left after I unplugged for 10 minutes, and now 3:48 left after unplugging it for 20 minutes.
I went to support.apple.com to schedule a support call, but the ridiculous interface asked me to pick what type of problem is this related to, but ONLY GIVING ME TWO CHOICES: 1. iTune 8 or 2. iTune 9. *** is wrong w/ their support site? Also it didn't know I have my laptop, so I had to type in serial number manually. After choosing my laptop, yeah it told me I could only pick iTune 8 or iTune 9 as my problem. This is inside MacBook Pro support age!! WTFFF???
Then, once I filled up the drop down list (I had to choose some ridiculous category unrelated to my problem), it told me I can schedule a call back at a later time. It wouldn't even call me back! But it had the decency to tell me "you can always schedule a call back..." ***??? Is this because I am behind a corproate firewall? I got stuck in some crazy loop too on developer.apple.com yesterday, but I doubt today's problem is related to VPN.
Lastly, no I am not running my PC crazily. Not playing any media or using any hardware or connected to any device. Only have wifi on, browsing the web, and brightness at 50%.
I prob shall bring this in but I am flying out tonight I really don't want to spend an hour driving to the store and back...HELP!

Hi lyziwyg,
Charge life varies immensely depending on what you are doing with your computer. THings like screen brightness, the use of bluetooth, external USB devices etc etc also have a substantial impact. A computer that will run for eight hours running a word processor and email software, may only manage two or three if you are watching lots of vids, connected to blue tooth, using the iSight Camera, running DVDs or CDs etc etc.
Have a look at Neuroanatomist's excellent FAQ on batteries at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1764220 for some good advice on looking after the battery in your new computer, and read Apple's own advice at http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html too.
While you should calibrate your battery when it is new, and then every couple of months thereafter, it is actually best NOT to run Lithium batteries right down from full charge too often. You will find that regular light usage is what they thrive on - use them every day when convenient for an hour or so, but try to avoid the "charge it up overnight and then run it flat every day" approach that some people use. That approach used to work well with the old "NiCad" batteries, but it is really very bad for Lithium ones.
Cheers
Rod
