Buying a new macbook pro - RAM is more important? What is Core i5 processor?
I plan to buy a new macbook and can't know if I should get 13 inches 2.66 GHz dual core with an upgrade to 8 GB of ram, or rather to get Core i5 15 inch 2.4 GHz and 4 GB of ram. I move from a PC. Only use VMWare Fusion mainly for MSoffice (MS Word/Excel) and Outlook. Messages I've read seem to collide on the RAM, many say its more important for VMWare, others say max 1 GB allocated and that too allocated at startup of Windows actually degrades performance. Any guidance appreciated!
Hi Jossol. Personally, I would say that still more RAM the better when it comes to a desktop based vm environment. I run a Core2Duo 2 GHz with only 2 GB of RAM on a test machine and the CPU is barely affected. It's the same in our environment ESX, RAM is being consumed at a rate much higher than CPU, especially if just using a virtual machine with office etc.
However, to be honest, it sounds as if the two options will do what you want with very little trouble. As a processor is generally much more expensive upgrade RAM (generally less expensive and more convenient to buy a new laptop) it might be the best option to go with the i5 Core option now and then upgrade of RAM when the next version of Windows arrives and is linked to more memory to run the application.

Apple doesn't sell spare parts for consumers (there is a supply chain for the Apple authorized service providers)
BUT - if I read carefully, you can ask where to buy a MacbookPro specific instead of JUST the "hard drive"?

I bought the box of the product Adobe Photoshop CS4 in 2009 and installed in my iMac. I plan to buy a new Macbook Pro and I am curious to know if I can still install my Photoshop bought in my Macbook?
Yes, your single-user license allows up to two simultaneous installations, activations.
to install and activate a third you would need to disable (help > deactivate) on one of the other two.

Currently, I run the design and the Web Premium CS6 on a first generation MacBook Air and want to buy a new MacBook Pro. How will I know if I can install my programs on the new Adobe computer? Because I know that there is some sort of limit.
Also, I had to install the software twice on my computer before because I had to restart the computer. I don't know if this affects the limit.
You are allowed to have two facilities activated, so it shouldn't be a problem with facilities to work on both machines. If by chance you somehow tied up two activations for a machine you can have Adobe support help solve this cat thrue.

I have Photoshop CC and will buy the new Mac Pro. CC of Photoshop supports 12 cores?
I have Photoshop CC and will buy the new Mac Pro. CC of Photoshop supports 12 cores?
Actually, I disagree with respect. Photoshop makes good use of a large multi-core system.
I use a desktop PC top of range 12 core for more than a year. Hyperthreading gives me 24 logical processors.
A lot of Photoshop uses all of the logical processors whenever possible. Which means that the system is available for your use as much more quickly.
How long can you complete the radial blur on the next page reference (it's just a Radial blur the simple of a medium sized image)? My system it ends well less than 10 seconds.
Here is my result:
Based on my knowledge of Intel processors, I think that the new Mac Pro with the latest Xeons top range will run this test in an unprecedented 5 to 6 seconds. If your system takes more time, it's a person with a powerful multi-core system may be doing things in Photoshop while you wait for seconds.
In addition, large systems - especially those with ultra-high throughput of e/s (like the Mac Pro will) - multitasking VERY well. The new Mac Pro provides a disk subsystem gargantuan high-speed flash memory. I had to build a matrix RAID of SSD to achieve this performance.
Virtually nobody has seen yet Photoshop run as well as he is going to run on this new platform.

Could not copy a file at the location requested. Mac OS 10, Version 10.10 [1].
I JUST bought this new macbook pro and Lightroom installed, imported 2 lots of pictures, but all of a sudden he kept denying my imports with "could not read the file" or "couldn't copy file at the location requested. Help, please!
Your use of the word "files" (in the plural) still makes me believe that you have not checked the permissions on the folder that is appropriate (in the singular).
You must determine the Destination of the Lightroom Import dialog window Panel and see which folder Lightroom is really tr6ing to copy photos in (which may have been accidentally changed and is not what you may have used in the past) and change the permissions to write to this folder.

I am looking to buy a new MacBook Pro - can I use my current CS6 software?
I installed on my current MacBook to CS6 - I am looking to buy a new MacBook and I was wondering if it is possible to use the same CS6 software for the new?
As I don't use the current MacBook when I get a new one, should I uninstall CS6 on the current and just install it on the new? Which will work?
I have the drive, the serial number and the product code.
Sarahk6971268, we invite you to install the software on your new MacBook. I recommend you to disable the software on the computer you're considering is no longer on the use. You can find more details about the activation with the help of Activation & deactivationprocess.

New MacBook Pro GPU compatible for playback in Premiere Pro CS6 Mercury engine?
I am considering buying a new MacBook Pro (15 in., processor 2.8 GHz quad-core Intel Core i7, 16 MB of RAM) to mainly video edditing with Premiere Pro, I have the CS6 vertion. I wonder if its Mercury playback engine support GPU?
The laptop I think uses this two graphics cards:
- Intel Pro Iris graphics card
- AMD Radeon R9 M370X with 2 GB of GDDR5 memory
In the list of system requirements for first Pro CS 6; Premiere Pro system requirements for Mac OS and Windows is said "AMD over-pants" recommended for Mac and AMD Radeon GPU Acceleration (as the Mac comes with) is listed under Windows. This makes me wonder if the new Mac support the maximum speed for the Mercury playback engine?
In any case, I would appreciate your views as oppon whitch GPU card you guys recommend for a MacBook Pro work best with Adobe Premiere Pro CS6?
Hello
Only these cards are supported for CS6
- AMD Radeon HD 6750 M (only on some MacBook Pro computers running Mac OS X Lion (10.7.x) with a minimum of 1 GB of VRAM)
- AMD Radeon HD 6770 M (only on some MacBook Pro computers running Mac OS X Lion (10.7.x) with a minimum of 1 GB of VRAM)
Premiere Pro system requirements for Mac OS and Windows

Can I install a former CS5 on a new MacBook Pro?
I have an older version of Adobe Photoshop CS5 with remaining download. I'll buy a new MacBook Pro with El Capitan. Can I install CS5? I then have to get caught up on the updates to CS5 in the modern era... and no, I'm not interested in the cloud. Thank you, Ellen
CS6 and previous programs have not been tested and will not be updated to run on Mac El Capitan
-which means you are trying to use CS6 and earlier at YOUR risk of having problems
-You can get CS6 and previous programs to install and run, or you can not (some do, some don't)
-Java https://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/dreamweaver-java-se-6-runtime.html can help
Install CS5 on Mac 10.11 https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2003455 can help (also for others than CS5)
-also a TEMPORARY security change https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2039319

Migration without CD: old Macbook Pro for the new Macbook Pro
I'm about to buy a new MacBook Pro and have AA Xl Pro on my 'old' Macbook but no CD and can't find my purchase info. Yikes! How can I do this? Thank you...
You are allowed to have two machines with facilities enabled, then you can leave the original as a backup if you wish. You don't want to think about the migration/transfer anything between machines for Adobe products... they must be installed using installation files. You can download the files at the link below.

You will need your serial number. If you have registered the software when you initially installed then you might find that available in your account Adobe online.

I'm buying a new MacBook to replace my mid-2010 MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel core 2 duo, 4 GB of memory, which always runs, but becomes slow. I don't think I need retina display (if I have a lot of photos and films on the subject), but I was told that the MacBook Pro without screen retina was an old system that Apple could not support much longer. Is this true?
Barbara cfrompa says:

Apple only can answer such a question, and the terms of use for these forums discourage us discuss what Apple plans to do.
I too have a MBP 2010. I installed an SSD and that increased performance. Consider that as an option.
You may experience other problems that slows down your MBP. Before commit you the important cash for a new MBP, examine the potential software problems that may be responsible for the poor performance. With the SSD, my 2010 works better than the day he came out of the box.
Ciao.
