Will the single or dual quad be right?

Does some have experience to advise me, which model, the single or dual quad "new" Mac Pro will deliver better results for editing images in Photoshop, Lightroom, Capture NX etc. And how much ram is a minimum for same with the new DDR3 type? Also, I do part time video editing (Final Cut Express). Thanks.

The cpu is smarter than that, and smarter than we are. A lot of things are going on below the surface, and in less than a nono-second is even a stretch in time, and changes. A core doesn't shutdown.
I suggest you actually dig into the technical papers and articles on Nehalem if you want to understand it more thoroughly. I've read that ARS article three times and still get something new with each read. And there are other articles. I feel like 2008 was just waiting and researching the sucessor to Penryn class (Harpertown).
The specials are just that, and they get 'hand tuned' and physically booted before they go out the door and usually have above the base spec listed.
I am not in favor of bleeding edge. Not until there has been one firmware update and one OS patch and time for 3-4 months minimum to flush out problems that surface. Some are still hoping the next OS update fixes issues with Nvidia 8800GT a year after it came out (and yes, drivers take a year of tweaking, Vista has had two years and apps/games and drivers are an ongoing experiment).

Will the optional i7 dual-core do 4-core "hyperthreading"?

Will the i7 dual-core -- that's available as an option on the 2011 Mini -- utilize "hyperthreading" and look like a 4-core CPU to OS X ? That's one of the big advantages of a latest-edition i7 over an i5, and for some software it can mean quite a speedup, and well worth the extra bucks, if it works on the new Mini

John, thanks for your helpful insight. For reasons of portability (and ports!!!), I need to use the Mini for some heavy-duty but not cutting-edge things -- like running FCPro (7, eventually X when they get it together acceptably), Quark, PShop, etc. The need for speed is important, but portability is the big factor here, since this Mac will get moved to new locations at least once each day and must to be up and running quickly and reliably.
The Mini plus a big screen (27" Samsung) and everything else it needs to roar will fit into a slim, surprisingly light case. The Mini needs a nearby AC plug since it doesn't have a battery, but even that can be dealt with in rare circumstances. I have two good friends who are happily running Snow Leopard on their 2011 Minis with no problems, so I know that OS X 10.6 is a "go."
My main need is to get reasonable results out of Final Cut Pro and good results out of Photoshop. The 2011 Mini's small form factor, very high portability, its (optional) acceptably capable CPU and GPU, combined with the ability to run sizeable display screens and the easier (and fuller) port choices including Firewire and ThunderBolt external drives and access to my audio and video peripherals -- vs. the MacBook Pro's more limited choice of ports (the 17" Pro is not an option because size is a constraint, here) makes the Mini look interesting, even attractive!
Also, the built-in screen for the MacBook Pro is not much of an advantage for me; I would seldom use it.
This all leaves me thinking a heretical thought: the new 2011 Mini, with Snow Leopard installed and 8 Gigs or (soon) 16 Gigs of RAM, looks like it could let me slip through the keyhole and have a howler if not a screamer -- if I accept a few compromises! I'd love to have the 4-core i7 and the Radeon graphics, but, as you know, that combo isn't an available option in the Build-to-Order options for the Mini. The full-size Pro desktop box is totally unmanageable because of bulk and weight.
So, I said all of that to ask you: can you add any thoughts or hot hints regarding what I just said -- downsides, upsides, etc.?? Anyone else?

Will the single developer edition of DPS ever allow publishing to Kindle Fire?

hi,
does anyone know if adobe plans to allow the single developer edition to ever publish to android/kindle fire? its disappointing that as a single developer i am forced to only sell on iPads.

Publishing single folios for Android/Amazon is on the roadmap. Significant engineering work needs to be to allow the installation of large apps on Android devices.

Will the 30" cinema dual dvi card work in an intel and g5 Machine

I don't want to have to buy this card twice as I currently use a dual G5 machine and plan to upgrade later to a Mac Pro desktop. Please advise!!!

The same graphics card will not work in both machines. But you won't need to upgrade the video card in a Mac Pro, unless you want to. Every Mac Pro graphics card supports dual displays and at least one 30-inch display.

T440/T540: Will the trackpad have dedicated left and right buttons?

I'm wondering if anyone knows if Lenovo is going to ship the upcoming Haswell T440/T540 line of notebooks with a trackpad that has dedicated left/right buttons, or, if they're going to go with a non-buttoned approach?
I've got a couple people waiting on these but they're the type that will do far better with actual physical buttons than just a flat trackpad they have to click "somewhere" on in just the right manner.
Really hoping Lenovo is sticking with what works rather than getting needlessly fancy (or cheap)...
Chuck
Solved!
Go to Solution.

X240s and T440s are already out, and they don't have any physical buttons for trackpad. I think you can safely assume all of the 40-series ThinkPads will have the same keyboard/trackpad.
Per the marketing page:
... a larger, smooth trackpad with 5-point click integration — indicated by subtle bumps and stripes — can be configured multiple ways through Settings...

I recently purchased, from the APP store, Lion for use on my MacBook Pro. I wish to upgrade my IMac to Lion also. Do I need to make a 2nd purchase or will the single purchase suffice? If the single purchase will suffice, how do I facilitate ?

I recently purchased, from the APP store, Lion for use on my MacBook Pro. To upgrade my IMac to Lion, need I make an additional purchase? If not, how do I facilitate the IMac upgrade?

No, you do not need to re purchase Lion. You can re download Lion on all your authorized Macs using the same Apple ID.
How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.

Will the $200 gift card be available right away if I take my old iPhone in to a store to trade it in?

...Opposed to waiting 2 weeks if I do the trade in online?

You bet, jcb71542!
If you trade in your device at the store it will be applied there.
Thanks for the question.

Will the old 23" ACD work with the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapte

Will the old 23" ACD work with the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter and the new MacBook Pro?
Apple Store says it is for the 30" only.
Thanks ... Ken

I'm not so sure about that. I'd say the jury's still out until someone gets one and tries to use it single-link.

When will the dual core x100e be available on Lenovo's website?

When will the dual core x100e be available on Lenovo's website?
I LOVE this laptop but 1.6ghz single core can not serve my needs. (I know is not meant to be very powerful but dual core is a must for me) I would like to wait if it will be available soon.
Also, can a SSD be swaped in instead of the 5400rpm dives they come with? I have a spare 64GB drive I purchased for my T60 and it would be nice to swap it into the x100e
Let me know how soon the dual cores will be available please. Really excited to purchase and customize with solid state drive.
Also some of the review videos online show the battery sticking out the back and others don't. Which is it?
Thanks.

I odered it on 01/20/10 and still waiting for it to arrive. Arrrg have to start a thread about this they have screwed by business trip big time

How do I delete duplicate songs, but keep a link in their original albums to the single copy of the song left, so it will play in each album in sequence as if it were still there?

Greetings!
After importing my 300 or so CDs into iTunes, I found I have tons of duplicate songs.
Example: I have a song that came in a original album, then in again in a "Greatest Hits" album, then again in a "Hits of the 80's" album, and again in a soundtrack album. I have now have 4 copies of the exact same song.
How do I delete duplicate songs, but keep a link in their original albums back to the single copy of the song left, so it will play in each album in sequence as if it were still there?
I don't think this currently exists, but as my library keeps growing the duplicates keep growing. It would be nice if Apple sees this and adds a way to link songs to multiple albums.
I don't want to create a custom playlist for every album that has a duplicate song or two (I'd have dozens of playlists) - thought about fixing it that way but not really practical.

To my knowledge, there is no way of doing what you want. The only workaround is to create playlists for the other albums containing the track, but that isn't practical for most people.
You could provide Apple with feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

Since updating last time Firefox will not open new tabs unless I right click on a link. It won't open them via file or the tab at the top of the brwoser. Anyone know how to fix this?

Since updating last time Firefox will not open new tabs unless I right click on a link. It won't open them via file or the tab at the top of the brwoser or usinf ctrl + t. Anyone know how to fix this?

I can press ctrl for a new tab but otherwise a new tab does not open. I actually need help regarding this new Synch which apparently will be in Firefox automatically in an upcoming version so I am asking how that will synch with people who use LastPass-of course because I use this very successfully and really am not eager to change the set up that I have in place at this time.
I have read through endless FAQ trying to find anyone else who has this question or concern but have found nothing. Can you please tell me how that service will get along with LastPass which does basically the same thing as Synch-it is probably spelled wrong as it looks wrong to me but if I click back to where this issue began, I will lose all of this question so please respond for the upcoming service synch.

HT1491 If I purchase one song from an albumn in iTunes, but later want to purchase the entire albumn, does iTunes give credit for the single song purchased, or will I be charged once for the single song, and then the regular full price for the albumn?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You'll purchase the rest of the album, so you'll pay the same as the cost of the album but without the cost of the previously purchased song
