Would the retina 15 inch be a good laptop for 3D animation and design?

Being a student, a laptop is the best for me being as I'm never at my apartment to use a desktop. It would be maxed out with ram. I want a laptop that can run 3DS Max and Photoshop at the same time and not feel sluggish. If its not possible with this machine please let me know and any advice on what to get is much appriciated.

If your prime purpose is a computer for "new game development programs and graphic rendering programs ...", a notebook, be it an Apple or a Windows machine, should not be considered. A high performance desktop for the same amount of money will outperform any notebook.
I do not play games, but logic leads me to believe that you should equip yourself with hardware that is similar to what the high end game aficionados use. Only that way you can develop game applications and determine if they will meet the users needs.
A notebook/laptop by its very nature compromises performance for size and portability. If there are other reasons that you find compelling to buy an Apple that's fine. I have bought two MBPs and my next notebook will also be a MBP. I endorse Apple MBPs and appreciate thier virtues, but I also recognize their shortcomings.
Ciao.

Exporting photos for UHDTV or Native 4K TV, what are the best settings ? (File: Quality File: Color Space, Image Sizing and resolution) Or in other words; How can I get the smallest files but keep good quality for display on new UHDTV

Exporting photos for UHDTV or Native 4K TV, what are the best settings ? (File: Quality File: Color Space, Image Sizing and resolution) Or in other words; How can I get the smallest files but keep good quality for display on new UHDTV

You're welcome, and thank you for the reply.
2) Yesterday I made the subclips with the In-Out Points and Command-U, the benefit is that I've seen the clip before naming it. Now I'm using markers, it's benefit is that I can write comment and (the later) clip name at once, the drawback is that I have to view to the next shot's beginning before knowing what the shot contains.
But now I found out that I can reconnect my clips independently to the format I converted the master clip to. I reconnected the media to the original AVI file and it worked, too! The more I work with, the more I'm sold on it... - although it doesn't seem to be able to read and use the date information within the DV AVI.
1) Ok, I tried something similar within FCE. Just worked, but the file size still remains. Which codec settings should I use? Is the export to DV in MOV with a quality of 75% acceptable for both file size and quality? Or would be encoding as H.264 with best quality an option for archiving, knowing that I have to convert it back to DV if I (maybe) wan't to use it for editing later? Or anything else?
Thank's in advance again,
André

I have an iPod Classic. I think it is a 5th generation. I would like to know if I can download games from the App store that say they are for iPads, iPhones, and iPod Touch. Will these work on my iPod Classic?

Im completely new to Mac. Im swapping my windows laptop for macbook pro and looking for network storage solution which the Time Capsule seems to do. Is it possible to use this as NAS for my desktop Windows PC - windows 7

Im completely new to Mac. Im swapping my windows laptop for macbook pro and looking for network storage solution which the Time Capsule seems to do. Is it possible to use this as NAS for my desktop Windows PC - windows 7

Broadly speaking I want some sort of network storage( wireless or through my existing wifi router) that I can access files for both my windows PC and Macbook and also to access files to my iPad/ iPhone. Some sort of backup and sychronisation so that I can access certain files remotely.
Buy a real NAS.. synology or QNAP are the standard... although companies like Netgear and Western Digital and Seagate make them as well.
There is no problem sharing between Mac and PC now.. you do not even need a NAS to do that.. you simply share the hard disk directly. Mac talk SMB.. everything talks SMB nowadays.. so it is easy.
ipad and iphone are not designed to use NAS.. they are designed to backup only to the cloud or itunes.. but you can load an app like file browser if you want.

Remote access to the Apple TC is somewhere between difficult, to impossible from a PC.. Apple use BTMM and iCloud but the service is not offered to PC.
A real NAS will offer HTTPS or SFTP or several other methods.. that both Mac and PC can use.
You simply plug it into the current wireless router.. it is a network device and assessable over the network. It is not necessary to buy another router.. in fact that is a waste.

All necessary drivers are included in the iTunes install package.

Laptop for adobe illustrator and photoshop

We are getting a new laptop for my daughter and a subscription to the Adobe Creative Cloud. She is interested in graphic design and mostly uses photoshop and illustrator. She has already sold several ebook covers and some other design projects. We are looking at laptops with an i7 processor and a SATA drive. We are unsure where to put our money - faster processor, more RAM, SATA vs optical drive, dedicated graphics card - for optimum performance. What do we really need? dedicated graphics cards seem to cost about $200-300 more. My IT friend says the SATA drive will make the biggest difference in speed....
HELP!!!
Here is two we are looking at . Would these perform well for creative cloud and last several years? Which would be better? Thanks for your advice.
Dell Inspiron 15 5000 Series Touchscreen Laptop | Intel Core i7 | Backlit Keyboard
8GB DDR3L 1600MHz RA
Intel Core i7-4510U Processor at 2.0GHz
8GB DDR3L 1600MHz RA
1TB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
Microsoft® Windows 8.1 (64-bit)
15.6" Touchscreen Truelife HD LED Backlit (1366 x 768) Display
Integrated Graphics
HP ENVY 15t Touchscreen Laptop | Intel Core i7
4th generation Intel® Core™ i7-4710HQ Processor (2.5GHz)
16GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm)
1TB 5400 rpm Hard Drive
SuperMulti DVD Burner
Microsoft® Windows 8.1 (64-bit)
802.11b/g/n WLAN
HP TrueVision HD Webcam with Integrated Digital Microphone
15.6-inch diagonal Touchscreen HD LED-backlit Display (1366x768)
Intel HD Graphics 4600

What is you actual budget?
If you are wanting a machine that is going to run well for a number of years and keep up with the ever developing Adobe Creative Cloud then I would suggest investing in something that has a good amount of RAM (8GB RAM recommended), a good graphics card (1GB VRAM recommended), a good processor and plenty of hard disk space.
Here is the specifications for Photoshop and Illustrator:
System requirements | Photoshop
System requirements | Illustrator
My suggestion would be something like this Dell Precision M3800 — 15" Mobile Workstation | Dell UK
Good luck.

I hope to help me with my poblome and fix it please !!??
And i hope to take my suggusts and make me happy becouse apple it is cooler from samsung
Apple the best

The iPad 1 can't run the newer operating systems. It'd be like trying to play a bluray disc in your 6 year old dvd player....it simply lacks the hardware to make the software run.
No suggestion about the camera, but given that Apple's attitude seems to be to focus more on the more mobile devices for photography (the iPhone and Touch cameras got features, the iPad and mini didn't), that is highly unlikely. You can tell Apple what you want, but you'd probably be money ahead to get a digital camera.
as to the photos, anything put on via iTunes has to come off via iTunes.Your main alternative would be to look for photo apps that offer file exchange that may give you more functionality.

I've got movies on my computer on itunes, however my parents wish that i use my laptop for itunes stuff, and i cant figure out how to get those movies to be able to sync with my ipod again, it wont recognize that I have them. Suggestions?

While you're in itunes, with the leftside window open, click on Apps. Then, look across the top middle of your itunes screen. You will see several choices: All, Iphone/iPad Touch, Ipad, Ipod Games, List, and Updates.
Clicking on each of these gives you a different view.
When you select ALL you will see all of your apps. When you select Updates you sill see only the apps that need to be updated. When you are in Updates you will see the Update button in the lower right corner.
Hope this helps.

What are the tools to create a digital magazine for ipad version and how can be place it in newsstand?

Hello..
"what are the tools to create a digital magazine for ipad version and how can be place it in newsstand?"
I am very tired after done a week of R&D on this issue..
But i doesn't get any fair solution for this one..
I hope this is best option to place my issue here to get quick solution..
Thanks and Regards..

We are all users here.
There is no one here from Apple.
In order for you to develop and distribute content for the iPad, you need to become an apps developer.
Not sure where you sign up for this or who you have to call.
There should be a place on Apple's site that refers to a section of the site if you want to be an Apple iOS content developer.
It cost, I believe $99 U.S. to become an Apple apps developer. You'll agree to Apple's Non-disclosure rules. You'll receive Apple's app/software developers kit,and access to Apple's app developer site.
No one here is going to be able to help you.
Good Luck.

Does anyone now a good mirror for pacam current and extra?

does anyone now a good mirror for pacam current and extra?
i live in sweden so does someone now a good nmirror how is fast to download from?

Hi. I live in Poland. I'm currently using ftp.archlinux.de. It's quite fast and up to date. I was using ftp.tu-chemnitz.de before. Also archlinux.creativa.cl works (or at least worked last time I checked) very fast for me.
The perl script above uses netselect package so If you don't like letting some script messing with your pacman.conf You can use It directly :-). You can try mtr too (it has both gui and cli and more or less combines traceroute with ping).

When my 6 year old daughter plays the free games that I have downloaded for her IPAD and IPOD, I am now getting upgrade charges on these free games to my AMEX Card. WHy is this happening and how do I get my AMEX card off of the IPAD and IPOD?

She is making in app purchases. Probably not knowing what that means to your monthly credit card bill. Use the Settings app to enable restrictions and turn on restrictions for iTunes, App Store and in app purchases, mabe some others too. The restrictions will be set with a passcode to prevent your daughter from changing them.
Settings > General > Restrictions

The App Store says I have updates for I-Photo and Garage Band. When I try to update I get the following message: You have updates available for other accounts To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it." Both apps came with my computer and as far as I know I only have one Apple account. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Thanks for you reply. I'm 99% positive that I'm using the user id and password that I used to set up my computer. That's why I'm stumped. I read the solution someone else suggested (type your user name without @gmail and create a new password. When I tried it, I was asked for my birthday. It didn't recognize it. I know I got my birthday correct. Oh well...
