Windows 10: Is now the time to replace your aging PC?

Windows 10 is a pretty big deal right now. You can bet that by now, millions of PC users will have downloaded Microsoft’s new operating system and will be playing with the new features like Cortana. But what if your computer is showing its age? Now might be the time to replace it. Upgrade to a new PC and you can be sure your hardware can take full advantage of Windows 10’s new features and if your existing PC is running an older version of Windows, you’ll save a chunk of cash by not having to pay for the upgrade.

Paragraphs 2 to 6
A new Mac will solve all those problems.
Paragraph 7
It is time to get a new MacBook Pro for better experience.
No. Apple does not have a trade-in policy.
No possibility of a virus causing these problems.
Best.

  • Opinion - MacBook Pro  -is now the time to buy?

    I am looking to replace a 2006 MacBook Core Duo 2 Ghz wi 2 GB RAM and a 500 GB drive with either a 15 or 17 MB Pro with Matte screen (4 GB and 500 GB drive). They have the high end 15 and 17 in stock with matte screens at my local Apple Store.
    Is now the time to buy?
    Three things give me pause so I am looking for some advice.
    1. Hard drive related beach balls - especially on 7200 rpm drives.
    2. Is the 15 or 17 any more or less prone to these troubles? Is the 5400 rpm 500 GB drive a surer bet?
    3. Potential speed bumps to coincide with new cheaper MacBook releases.
    Those who have bought recently - is the hard drive beach ball, 30 - 40 second hang issue resolved?
    Just generally, would you wait to see if there are any changes to the MacBook Pro specs (a la speed bump) with the impending Mini, iMac, MacBook announcements?

    For the 15" the time to buy, for me, was before they jettisoned the express card slot My ideal would be a 13" with an express card and the dual graphics chips - oh well I'm not holding my breath for that one. I'm glad I got my 15" while they were still offering express card although I might have been willing to trade that for the smaller footprint of the 13" if it would have been available at the time. I love my 15", but it is big (esp. coming from a 12" PB G4).
    As for beach ball speed issues - I think all the shipping MacBook Pro's (at least the 15" and 17") can take 8 gigs of RAM - I would get the base memory from Apple and then upgrade after the fact. I bumped my late 2008 MBP (typing on it now) to it's max of six Gigs RAM and it made a noticeable difference.
    And as far as performance, even 7200 rpm notebook drives are slugs compared to their desktop cousins; and compared to the speed increases in every other component in personal computers, mechanical hard drives are glacially slow slugs.
    If you really want maximum performance, you need to do what I am getting ready to. Skip the 7200 RPM drive and replace your primary drive with a solid state drive (but do your research - not all SSD's are created equal and some may be slower then a traditional hard drive!). Since I'm not about to pay more for an SSD then the purchase price of my computer, I'm going to get a smaller one (corsair makes a 160GB that looks nice), and remove my optical drive (hardly every use it anyway). In the optical drives place I will put a 500GB drive with one of several kits out there that provide a mounting bracket for the second drive. Best of all worlds - OS and applications on the ultra fast SSD, bulk of my data on the more spacious traditional drive.
    CPU and Video are pretty darn fast across the board, even with the base configurations. These days the hard drive is THE speed bottle neck in computers...

  • Mail Activity Window - Nothing showing most the time??

    I am fairly new to Mail. I've used Entourage for years and switched over when i got my new imac. Sort of liking it. There are many more functions in Entourage that Mail doesn't have. For one...I could hit Command > Period to stop sending an email while it was in the process of sending. How do I do that now in Mail? I see there is a Mail Activity window but most of the time it doesn't show any status down there..? Why? Sometimes it does but not very often. There's no rhyme or reason...Just when it wants to it seems. When it DOES show the status of a sending email i see that there is an "X" to cancel. But that is only when it shows. Command > Period doesn't work here.
    Thanks in advance.

    I have found an acceptable solution to this until the real thing comes along...
    Under Window in the task bar, select Activity. This moves a small box onto the desktop. Make it as small as you can and drag it to somewhere on your desktop where it's out of the way.
    Press Get Mail as you used to and all the activity is shown in the - ahem - activity panel.

  • HT1461 Win 7 set up and running OK,but after go back from OSX the wireless net work stuck at identification cause the window working without Internet.Can we fix it or I must use Windows off line all the time? I already contact Microsoft 2 times for activa

    Win 7 set up and running OK,but after go back from OSX the wireless net work stuck at identification cause the window working without Internet.Can we fix it or I must use Windows off line all the time?
    I already contact Microsoft 2 times for activations.Hope I can fix from Apple instead.

    Ok....Got "Problem 2 and 4" solved....still trying to figure out this pop up everytime I click something...it's crazy how fast the pop up blinks...maybe once or 3 blinks then nothing till you close the window, then pop up then disappears...then click something
    else and pop up then gone....never seen this before...ive seen it when you tried to get online which turned out to be a virus on a customers cpu I worked on some years ago, I think it has something to do with the deleted files that I spoke of on last
    post...I notice it does it on start up as well.....think something is trying to install but not sure. Need to figure out where the appdata or start up folder and see whats in there....maybe it's in there.......so I might wait to see how it acts in the next
    couple days for "Problem 1"...but other than that it's running like a champ...so right now I just want to get the pop up windows to stop........thx again for everyone's help on this.

  • I partitioned a small drive for a windows program, and now the computer only wants to boot to Windows.  How do I get back to Mac so I can have a choice of drives?

      I partitioned a small drive for a windows program, and now the computer only wants to boot to Windows.  How do I get back to Mac so I can have a choice of drives?

    That doesn't sound good. It sounds like the power outage might have corrupted the partition for OS X. I would suggest booting from the Install DVD that came with your Mac while holding down the C key. Once you have selected the language start up Disk Utility from the pull down menu and repair the disk. Once you have done that then repair permissions also.

  • I have been using time machine to back up my Mac Book Pro 3.1 to my Time Capsule. Now the Time machine hangs up on "calculating time remaining".

    I have been using time machine to back up my Mac Book Pro 3.1 to my Time Capsule. Now the Time machine hangs up on "calculating time remaining".
    Mac Book Pro - 3.1-15-inch  2.4/2.2GHz), Processor 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Operating system : OS X 10.10.1
    Time Machine Version 1.3, Copyright 2007-2014 Apple Inc., Modified Tuesday, September 9, 2014 at 6:03 PM
    Time Capsule: 500 GB C 2007
    This Time Machine software worked satisfactory until Monday Nov, 10 2014 and I have backups until that time. For several years, the software deleted the oldest back up to save the latest one. This is acceptable to me as I have off site storage that is updated every 3 months. How do I get Time machine working again?

    I have spent a couple of days trying to respond to Linc Davis. Finally I figured it out . The following is a copy of data from my console from the initiation of a time machine backup until it gets stuck trying to calculate the time remaining. There is no indication that anything starts saving.  I copied about 3 minutes of data. This is probably way too much data, but I do not know what is relevant.
    Thanks for the help,

    you can install a program such as coconut battery

  • Is now the time to get an iPod?

    Hello everyone, So I've been avoiding getting an ipod for several years due to a number of reasons. But now I'm finally giving some serious thought into it, with the release of the ipod Classic.
    While researching I ran into this forum, and am shocked at all the problems people are experiencing with it. Now I know its a common thing for more people to come online with complaints and problems then there are for people who come online with praises and good news. Creating the illusion that every 4 out of 5 people have problems. Its like that with all product forums. But just to make sure, are there any people here who haven't not experienced any problems at all with thier ipod Classics?
    I also would like to explain how I would use my ipod if I had one, and if you can tell me what type of experience/performance I'd get from my ipod in return.
    First off I'm a Windows XP user, with a large collection of fully tagged MP3s, in the 200vbr-320cbr bit rates by entire albums. About 50 GBs worth so far.
    All my music is primarily movie soundtracks such as Star Wars, Conan, Batman and some Spoken Word stuff.
    I plan on listening with a pair of $100 Super.fi Studio 3 IEMs Becuase sound quality is very important to me. And I plan to also have some sort of EQ enabled preferable customed.
    Photos (other than album artwork), and videos are not important to me at all.
    And I'd also expect to put heavy usage in to the ipod, skipping through tracks and seeking through songs alot.
    Now with this type of usage what can I expect as far is performance, battery life, sound quality and usability?

    it's really difficult to say ... if I were you I would wait until firmware 1.0.3 releases and then have a look at what it's fixing.
    Your story sounds a bit like mine. Didn't want an iPod for several years and bought a classic now So I just list what I find positive and negative, you have to decide for yourself in the end. First the positive stuff:
    • The iPod uses very good hardware. Long battery lifetime, very good display, fast harddrive.
    • Very easy-to-use interface. Very intuative. You don't really need a manual for 90% of the stuff you can do with it since it's so easy to use
    • Always found the click-wheel a little strange, but after one day or so it's really quick and nice to go through menus like that.
    • Nicely designed (in my opinion)
    • With iTunes you got a flawless connection to your PC: All the ratings and playcounts and skipcounts and stuff are transfered to iTunes and vice versa. So the play/skipcounts are real, not ONLY what you listened to on your iPod or ONLY what you listened to on your iTunes. You can even send the stuff you listened to on your iPod to last.fm (if you know/use that site)
    • If your songs are probably tagged that's good, because the iPod uses ID3-Tags only and no kind of folder structure, so this is very important.
    • If you listen and skip a lot that can enhance your music-listening-behaviour. You can create "smart playlist" which select songs depending on a rating you gave the song (1 to 5 stars, you can rate in iTunes and on-the-go using your iPod), how much you played a song and how often you skipped it.
    • Heavy usage is absolutly no problem. The iPod handles that just fine and because of the long battery life (30-40 hours) this should be no problem at all.
    So, there are still some downsides. I hope that with a future firmware most - if not all - of that issues are fixed, but some of them are serious:
    • There seem to be faulty products in the stores. Some people buy a new iPod and it does not work correctly. They get a new one from the store which works perfectly fine. This seems to happen to a lot of people.
    • If you play games on your iPod the ratings/playcounts/skipcounts since your last sync with iTunes will not transfer correctly when you sync. This will probably be fixed in the new firmware
    • Both clickwheel and menus are a little slow sometimes. It was much slower with firmware 1.0.0 and got a lot better with the new firmware 1.0.2, but the clickwheel is still a little jumpy and the menus sometimes (not always) need like 1-2 seconds to load. It's nothing too serious, I can work with my iTunes perfectly fine that way, but it can be annoying from time to time.
    • Of course the thing people seem to be afraid of the most: The battery-draining issue. Yeah, it happens. BUT! It happens only very very rarely and you can notice it when it happens, since the hard drive of your iPod is still spinning when you turn it off and you can just hear that. If the hard drive is spinning over 2-3 seconds after you turned off the ipod, just turn it on, wait a second, turn it off. the hard drive should most likely stop to spin and your battery will not drain. I'm pretty sure this also will be fixed soon.
    • The thing I, personally, am most concerned about: Bad sound quality. Well, it's not really a BAD sound quality. But it's not as good as one would expect from a $250 product I think. With the right equalizer settings it gets a lot better, but still ... . There are rumors it's hardware-related, which would really suck because it can't be fixed then. I have to say the sound quality is good, it's very harmonic but it lacks deepth if you ask me. Since sound quality seems to be very important to you, that's probably the thing you should have an eye on. There are some threads in this forum about it, there even is a really nice "study" on the classics sound compared to the iPod video. You maybe want to check this out. But in the end I have to say: It's a good sound quality, but it may not be enough for someone with $100 earphones. Best thing would be to go to an apple store and test-listen to a classic to find out.
    • The back (which is very nice actually) gets scratched very easily, and so does the screen (I was told). So you really need to buy a protection case. On apples website it costs $40 (or $100 if you prefer the italian leather thingy ;-)), but you can get a good one for $25 if you look around a little (the 5G cases work for the classic either)
    • No custom EQ. I really hope it will be added in the future. But there are a lot of presets which should satisfy most people. Still, custom EQ should be standard for such a high-class product in my opinion.
    • You are forced to use iTunes. Maybe that's a downside for you, maybe it isn't
    That's all I can think of right now. Hope it helps. And sorry if the english may not be that good, I'm actually from germany
    hope you find the right thing to do. I, personally, would wait until FW 1.0.3 is released and see what it does.

  • Is now the time?

    Hey everyone, I am currently running Windows, but I made the decision to switch for when I go away to college. I already made the choice on the Macbook, but the question I pose to everyone is this. Is now the right time to buy a Macbook? I know that Apple recently updated the chip architecture, but I am afraid that 2 weeks after I receive my mac the next generation will come out at Macworld. Anyone have any suggestions?

    The simple answer is if you want/need macbook now, get it. If you keep worrying about whether a new macbook will come soon, you will never get one. If you want it now, get it. They are very fast now and if a new one came out, it ma be 10% faster. Any of the new MacBooks are just fine and will last you for at least 4-5 years.

  • Saving to SharePoint works only half the time for Windows 7 Users--all the time for Windows XP users

    We have a SharePoint 2010 Environment with hardware load balancing, 2 WFEs, 2 Apps Servers and 1 SQL Server. This was built in October 2013. Office Integration and Saving back to SharePoint works all of the time for users on XP. It works sporadically for
    users on Windows 7. When Windows 7 users do the following:
    Opening an Office Document from computer and saving it to SharePoint
    Within a Document Library, using Save As from an opened document
    When selecting in a Document Library from the Document Tab> “New” and then the desired content type
    Send> Save to SharePoint from within Office Document
    They may either be brought to the SharePoint library (correct) or to My Documents (incorrect).
    In the case of number 1 (Opening an Office Document from computer and saving it to SharePoint)--using Save and Send will sometimes open the SharePoint library and sometimes open My Documents.
    Our URL is https://CompanyName.domainname.com/Sites/SiteCollectionName
    The intermediary "Sites" is actually a blank path.
    When My Documents is opened I've noted with Fiddler (a web debugger) that we get a 404 on sites:
    Could this be the issue?

    Some things to double check:
    Ensure that you have sticky sessions enabled on your load balancer
    Check that your WebDav calls are making it to the server
    Ensure that you have a root site collection in all your web apps
    Just out of curiosity, what is the http request look like for the 404 error?

  • Customer wants to able to have his Windows VM  accessable all the time.

    How can I make a user's windows VM stay available all the time on their Sun Ray without it checking back into the pool?
    Thanks
    Jeff Holland

    You missed to mention which VDI version you are using. This is important because the capabilities and terminology slightly differs between Sun VDI 2 and Sun VDI 3.
    Sun VDI 3 distinguishes between *"personal"* and *"flexible"* desktop assignments.
    A personal desktop is owned by the assigned user (similar to a PC under his desk) and is never made available for other users.
    A flexible desktop is only temporary owned by the user and once the user logs out the desktop is recycled and becomes available for the next user.
    If you select and assign a specific desktop to a user, Sun VDI 3 will automatically use a "personal" assignment here. If you assign a pool to a user, then a specific desktop is picked up from the pool and assigned to this user on demand (when the user requests a desktop for the first time). You can specify for each pool the default assignment type that should be used then - either "flexible" or "personal". At any time you can explicitly change an existing desktop assignment from flexible to personal if needed.
    Sun VDI 2 uses a slightly different terminology: A *"static"* desktop is owned by a user (similar to personal in Sun VDI 3). A *"dynamic" or "temporary"* desktop is only temporary owned by the user (similar to flexible in Sun VDI 3). All desktops that are part of a pool are per default dynamic. Static desktops are not part of any pool. Sun VDI 2 does not offer to configure the default assignment type per pool. However, you can set the recycling interval for a pool to infinite meaning that the desktops will never by recycled - this simulates the personal assignment type available in Sun VDI 3.

  • Is now the time to buy? (The CREATIVE ZEN 8

    I want to know if now is the time to buy, people on these forums don't seem happy although I have read reviews on amazon/play etc. and they are good on the whole
    In a slightly off-topic way: I hear that video playback is limited in resolution. I have x-vid videos with width 624 and height 352 pixels. Normally I convert them to MP4 with PSP Video 9. Will the x-vids work on the Zen or will even the converted .mp4 work
    Many thankz for help.

    everything is great on the zen. Appearance, video converter is great and even crops widecreen videos to 4:3 without stretching, sound quality is great and has a bass boost which is a v nice extra . The only thing which lets it down is the battery life, can perform well straight after a charge ( ran a whole 2h30mins film losing under half life) but tends to drain when not being used a fair bit. Having said that it is however a lithium ion battery (like in a laptop) so cant be overcharged unless u leave it long enough to overheat and damage, and also can be topped up all the time.
    Neway i say get it it's the best media player out atm i reakon

  • I have changed the name and password for my Time Capsule and now the Time Machine will not connect

    Mac Book Pro
    1TB Time Capsule.
    Yesterday I changed the name and password on my time capsule and also the name and password of the wifi network as I was having problems with the speed of the internet when using Safari on any of my devices (1 Macbook pro, 1 macbook air, 27" iMac, iPhone and iPad) all other internet services were working fine (email etc.) This seems to have solved the problem.
    However, since then, my time machine back ups will not reconnect and there is no option for me to reconnect to the existing back up for my macbook pro.
    When I enter the time machine preferences it shows as below that there are no back ups.
    Then, when I go to select a drive to use which should be the MacBook under the Backup disks the only option is for me to Remove Disk...
    So, my question is, how do I reconnect to an existing Time Machine back up for my MacBook pro as I really do not want to erase and start all over again.
    Warning - In my naiveté, I did click on the MacBook in 'Available Disks' but I got the impression that it was about to start a whole new back up and not work with the existing one.
    (And does anybody have an inkling as to why there was a problem with Safari on all my devices? I downloaded Google Chrome and that worked fine).

    Simply reset the Time Machine.
    See A4 here http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    You can then mount the TC disk in finder after you reboot the computer.
    You should be able to reselect the TC disk and then it will say it is going to start a new backup.
    Ignore this.. when the TM actually loads the TC disk it will discover the existing backup and continue the backup.. but it will give no hint until it actually starts that it won't start a new backup. you just have to believe it won't.. and mostly it works..
    Please also install the widget A1 so you have some idea what TM is doing.

  • Awesome: Windows remain present all the time after libpng update

    Hi there,
    After the libpng update this week, my awesome behvaes strange.
    As awesome depends on cairo-xcb, I‘ve downloaded the tarball from this page, extracted it and ran makepkg -s followed by sudo pacman -U. Seemed to work, so I repeated these steps both for awesome and vicious-git and finally ran sudo pacman -Syu. During the last few days, I repeated some of theses steps (eg. I rebuilt cairo-xcb again)
    So I was able to launch Awesome again, but some strange issues occured: After closing (or even killing) windows or switching tags, windows remain present. The awesome context menu behaves as these windows: It does not vanish. In fact, if I open more than one window, awesome becomes practically unuseable.
    I moved my awesome config file (~/.config/awesome/rc.lua) and therefore awesome loaded the default config file, but the error occured again.
    So, after googling and asking in the IRC (nice to know that most awesome guys do not have problems with this update…), I finally use the forum
    Thanks for helping me out here, Keba.
    PS: Obviously, the “awesome“ in the title refers to the window manager not to the awesomeness of this error.
    //Edit: If I move windows, they leave some lines behind them, so awesome seems to have problems redrawing the screen correctly…

    Yes, and disabling that helps, thanks a lot
    For some reason I use the non-git-version, so I built the git version and installed it. Even after rebuilding cairo-xcb again, I get the same problem again So, how to use xcompmgr?
    Thanks, Keba.
