15 - inch MacBook Pro or iMac?
Hi, I bought a new MacBook Pro a few months back for use with logic, I also bought a 27 "Thunderbolt display.
Now I'm worried if I should have opted for the maxed on high spec iMac 27 with 32 GB of RAM?
I will have no problem, but I recorded only 2 or 3 titles on the projects, I'll again start projects in the next few months, about 50 titles + plugins.
My MBP is going to be good enough? or should I get the iMac maxed out?
My MBP is
15 "retina
2.8 GHz Quad - core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 4.0 GHz
- 16 GB 1600 MHz SDRAM DDR3L
- 512 flash storage
The iMac has bus data faster and better GPU, so it will be better than the MBP. Also, you want to get a USB 3.0 external drive to keep all your media and project files, don't run them from the system drive. The external drive must be also 7200 RPM, not slower. If you do a lot of major projects, consider a RAID Thunderbolt (4 drives, 7200 RPM). Desktop always surpass laptops.

I would add the 3D button or touchpad of my mid-2012 13-inch Macbook Pro. I know that you can upgrade from things such as the hard drive and ram. But I can do the same thing with the trackpad?
No, but the new version of the external trackpad is designed for ElCapitan, it can be used. New version of the external wireless keyboard works also with ElCapitan.
Just, don't wait these external devices to work at lowest ElCapitan.

Bootcamp on end 2011 17-inch MacBook Pro
Hi all
I have a 17-inch, late 2011 Macbook Pro and tried to install Windows (8.1 or 10) but the video and audio drivers (Bootcamp 5.1.5621) do not work. I had to disable the driver Intel HD 3000 completely and the remaining Rageon of AMD HD 6770 m doesn't seem to work properly (Device Manager has marked with an exclamation point). The sound card drivers (Realtek, I think) will not work. What I don't understand is why there should be any problems if you use the drivers supplied officially by Apple, because they have been there for a while now.
Anyone with similar problems? Solutions?
You use BC Assistant and physics DVD installation without manual interruption to run?

13-inch or 15-inch Macbook Pro?
Hello, I am currently in high school and I'm looking for a laptop to use for the class as well as in college. I'm in a film class where I edit videos quite frequently and plan to study film at the College as well. I would especially use it publishing, web and maybe some light games here and there. Low intensity after effects rendering, etc., but I can do some in the future. I am deciding between the top model 13 inch with 16 GB of ram upgrade, or the base model 15 inch. I know the 15-inch is more powerful, but the RAM would improve in the 13-inch enough to compensate for? I love the small 13-inch form factor and fear that the 15 inches may be too big to use at school and in public places. Which would be best for me? Thank you!

I can access iCloud of both devices (1 x macbook pro & 1 x IMAC, the two OS X El Capitan)-work on the macbook pro is stored in iCloud, but I can't access it from the IMAC. There is no symbol of cloud dotted next to folders - why can I not access at work?
What kind of work and how you went about saving the document to iCloud.

Hi there I am looking to buy an iMac or a MacBook Pro with an outer screen for use home. I work mainly with architecture such as Revit and Autocad software. I also Lumion or 3dsmax. I use Photoshop and indesign to establish all my presentations also. I'll sometimes have to rhino as well.
My big problem is the speed of the machine. I know I need at least 16 GB of RAM and the in 27 iMac is attractive because I can always increase the RAM myself. I know I need dedicated GPU and separate the CPU for my renderings as well which I am sure that both the imac and the Macbook pro have. What I like is the portability of the MacBook Pro, but I fear that he will not be able to handle the amount of rendering, I need. But the SSD is attractive, although the car of fusion, of everything I read, is very similar in functional terms and offers plenty of space, which means that I would not necessarily need an external hard drive.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Anything would be helpful. To which model to get specs, all are welcome.
If you need any portability the MacBook Pro is your choice. Make sure you get the max RAM and storage.

One or more are at the origin of the crash. Start by removing Sophos. Since the graphics family is one of the problems, don't forget to remove anything you have installed which would be new for your use of the GPU.
Be sure to use any uninstaller provided with the software. Something that comes with an uninstaller uninstall not manually.

Try to get a new battery for A1189 for a 17 inch MacBook Pro 2008
Need a new battery for my MacBook 2008 Pr A1189, cannot find them on the Apple Store and not those who are genuine available elsewhere that I can find it, a lot of one on Amazon etc, but they are safe and reliable?
Apple stopped making batteries for these years. There are many piles of counterfeit around, showing most on auction sites, but I've seen a few reports here of them bought on Amazon.
I trust Other World Computing and they have this:

These SSD options would be compatible with my Early 2011 13 inch Macbook pro?
Hello
My mac I'm really slow so I decided to buy an SSD, but I can't be sure if it is compatible with my mac. SSDS are super expensive in my country, I just have to be sure before buying.
TECHNICAL DATA:
Processor: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5
RAM: 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics card: Intel HD Graphics 3000
13-inch, early 2011
My SSD options:
MX300 crucial 250 GB
Samsung 750 EVO 250 GB
Samsung 750 EVO 120 GB
Thank you.
If you want a definitive answer, contact the technical support from the manufacturer. The general rule is, if the SSD is identical to a HARD SATA 2.5 form factor ", it will work in your MBP.
Ciao.
