    AFAIK, the versions in box elements (Photoshop and first) programs have two versions... If you purchased via download, only one version, so you will have to buy again to get the other version... and P.Elements 14 is now updated

  • Should I buy a Macbook Pro now or wait?

    Well Hello

    Although not a technical support question, I just wanted to ask the community on my decision to come. Quick note, I work in it and have already decided on the Macbook Pro because of the needs of its use and don't need no recommendation based on form, thank you!

    So, I put aside enough money to buy the Macbook Pro I've wanted for awhile now, I need a smaller but still powerful computer. Currently I have a 17 ""notebook"made for the game and it's a monstrosity away truly mobile heavy." This is beyond powerful with 32 GB of RAM, an i & - 4870HQ, one of the fastest SSD m2 on this side of the industry and it rips a GTX 980 M with 4 GB of video memory dedicated. What I'm basically is that I really don't need another PC, I need something that is both powerful and lightweight and I can't comfortable wear everywhere where I need to.

    The next factor is the fact that I'll be moving to Indonesia in October. I need a cell phone smaller, lighter for the work that I can run a virtual machine with Windows to on it for work, whether through VirtualBox or Parallels. Believe it or not, concurrent computer virtual running independent of the OS can be very demanding! Also Apple products are a status symbol there. However, rumors, which I know that no one can confirm officially, pointing to a late summer or early fall release of the new Macbook Pro, but since WWDC is around the corner I think I'll wait and see if Apple chooses to surprise us. After that WWDC is when I will make my final decision, and that the decision is whether I should buy a Macbook Pro now or wait until the new is revealed. I love the promotion they have going now where you the beats certainly of high quality solo2 helmet and education, discount that I can use since I started back to school to get an MBA.

    Yes, sorry to be long-winded and irrelevant, once or twice but I really appreciate all the comments. I expect many many time to make this purchase. I used to dislike apple products until I realized how beautifully, they are built and the high quality of the materials and the intuitive user interface. Already, I have an iPhone 6, an Apple Watch, an iPad Pro with the pencil of the Apple and the keyboard, and even this types on a keyboard of magic. I can't replace my PC awesome game, but I need something not quite as powerful, but a lot more portable.

    TL; DR: Should I wait until the new Macbook Pro is out or take advantage of the current promotion and get a current model, and yes I am aware that the current model is more than a year.

    Yes, thoughts? And thank you for your time!

    You are the only person who can answer this question. All I can tell you is that I have a MBP 2014 and it's always great. I think you'll be happy no matter which you get.

  • Should I buy a MacBook Pro now or wait for the WWDC

    Hello

    Well, I want to buy a MacBook Pro (my first one ever). However, I have read on some sites there is a new version of the MacBook Pro this year (at WWDC).

    Now I'm totally confused. I want to use a MacBook Pro 15 "(8 Go de RAM et 552 Go SSD) to work on large data / Business Intelligence technologies and programming."

    But I don't know if I have to wait for these new features or go ahead and buy this one now. And if these new features will be most useful for what I want to do.

    Thanks in advance.

    Apple has specifically discourages discussions on these forums about what and when the new products will be introduced and what changes there may be.

    The best advice is, what your needs are and this current model meets the.  If so, buy it, if not, don't buy it.   My observation of past changes in the introduction of new models is that the changes are incremental, not radical.  My primary MBP is a 2011 model (with 16 GB of RAM and an SSD hard drive) and I still do not feel outclassed by the current culture.

    Ciao.

    To burn iTunes:

    GO to iTunes > help > using iTunes and search for burn and go to burn CDs and DVDs

    Try to publish the iDVD forum to burn old iDVD projects since Apple dropped to iDVD a couple of Mac OS x versions there are.

  • I'm considering buying a MacBook Pro 15 inch. I use programs such as Stata, for big calculations. What is my best option?

    I'm considering buying a MacBook Pro 15 inch. I use programs such as Stata, for big calculations. What is my best option?

    Either of the 15 "MBPr come with 16 GB of RAM and because it appears that RAM is paramount for Stata then one of them should be able to manage it.

    Is the portability of paramount importance for you? If this isn't the case, you might consider an iMac. You get more for your money from a laptop to a desktop computer. In addition, the RAM on the iMac can be improved if need more later. From what I've read on Stata resembling an important consideration.

  • Should I buy a MacBook Pro to the Japan?

    I am traveling to Japan in February and I was thinking of buying a MacBook (I don't know if I have to buy the macbook Air or MacBook Pro yet) I'm from South America, and I don't know if I should buy one to Japan, because of the keyboard and it loads in South America

    Load the auto-commutateur blocks 120-240.  The wall-end-power cable changes of country.  Adaptation and new kits "end-track only cords can be purchased.

    I suspect that Japanese stores have Japanese keyboards only and mapping of key with key-labels would be difficult.  But I suspect that it is a problem.

    Maybe some import duty when you return home and rights to export when you leave... maybe.

  • Try to buy a Macbook pro for first. But running into problems

    OK long story short, I'm a student at Ithaca College edition. I need to buy a mac book pro, so I can edit from home, rather than rely on the school computer labs.

    I'm looking on the apple site. The macbook 13 inch pro without screen retina can be customized and updated (which I intend to do) to include:

    2.9GHz dual - core Intel Core i7

    8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 SDRAM

    128 GB Solid State Drive (I will also buy an external hard drive that is capable of love at first sight)

    The problem is that the 13 inches comes with a graphics card Intel HD Graphics 4000 and it cannot be upgraded.

    I don't want to move to the other macbook pro that come with the Intel Graphics Iris because I need an external drive and it's a pain to carry to school every day.

    All the other posts I think this subject are language tech it's way over my head. Will be this intel hd 4000 graphics card work with all video effects in first pro or not?

    Mac technical support will tell me what I want to hear for me to buy, support chat adobe does not help and phone support is non-existent with adobe. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    -Sean



    While I am not currently on a MacBook, I'm running the Intel Graphics 4000. I say yes, they will do what you need first, it works very well for me. But do not expect something amazing out of them, they are not nearly as powerful as the cradle of Iris personally, I would say go to a bigger MacBook Pro, if you're going to carry an external SSD, then you would probably go to a larger storage and exchange the realization of the disc to a hard drive.

  • I buy refurbished macbook pro without knowing?

    Hello

    I bought a new macbook pro 13 "2015 with the apple retina display"premium reseller"in Singapore, I stayed here for 2 days only for business trip.

    After to return home (Israel), due to the relatively quiet environment, I noticed noises weird fan (sounds enough) low-end (around 1300 ~ 1400), the noise sounds like there is something touching the blade fans and often happens when Im holding the macbook in different angels.

    A week later I noticed "click on" sounds when the tilt of the laptop, after some research (by browsing the web), I found that there is a plate inside the screen that turns freely after the display heating somewhat.

    My default source entry shortcut is (Ctrl + space), but when I compared the shortcut MacBook with my colleagues, I found that their shortcut (cmd + space). I do not remember to set\change the shortcut since the purchase of the macbook, and nobody messed with it once I got it of course. When U tried to restore the default shortcut for the preference, he remained the same as it is by default, however, as far as I know the supposed default shortcut be cmd + space.

    My battery life is low compared to my colleagues MacBooks (the same models, and one of them even got high 2.9 GHZ model). I don't use chrome and I have no other applications running in the background. IM checking the activity monitor often and I'm not saying any application that drains my battery though the time I usually get my battery gives me 4 hours to 75%. The battery status shows normal. I charge my battery by following the instructions and parameters are defined to save the battery (bluetooth off, half the brightness value, bright keyboard is off etc.)

    I went to the apple in Israel dealer to repair the fan noise and now I'm waiting for them to give me a computer for which mine will be under contract (up to 10 business days).

    I would like to know what you think of my case.

    Thank you

    Your command-space shortcut is good by default. Their setting is not the default.

  • MacBook Pro 2008 does not start. WHY? (Fix included)

    I have an old soldier, a Macbook Pro in early 2008. Like many others with MacBook as old as mine, I had the problem of my Mac, no start, showing only a black screen when I lit. He came to the point that I roll the die, each time that I chose to shut down the computer, I was wondering if it would ever start again. After taking in to get fixed twice and he'd end up and die after a few weeks, I tried a quick (and free-_-) fix I could do at home. (Note this isn't my question again, because I want to help some people who have the same problem, I had). I found a (I hope I remember where) online and I still thank the poster that has name up to this day.

    The idea is the laptop overheating, refresh, then cross your fingers and hope that it starts. Here are the steps I followed:

    1. Remove the battery (if you can) and connect your Macbook.
    2. Find two pillows for "sandwich" of your Macbook with.
    3. Turn on the Macbook and put it on one of the UPSIDE-DOWN cushions. (This is critical!)
    4. Ask the second pillow placed on the computer (always upside down) and leave for an hour and a half, running. (It may help to cover pillows with more effective coverage trap heat).
    5. After that he did heating, place it in a room different upside DOWN and leave it for at least 8 hours. (Night works too).
    6. Turn UPSIDE down and pray that it starts. Repeat the operation if not... But if this is the case, you CAN use the computer right up. Just leave the upside when you have finished using it.

    WARNING! This Act of overheating probably detrimental to the health of your computer. My computer is running stronger and a little bit slower than before, but if it does not, what really does anyway? My point is, there is a risk that is innate to this process, although I've never had any real problems with it.

    Now for my question: WHY? Why the computer have this problem in the first place? Even if I found a solution, I would know exactly what I'm fixing. I was curious and were all that I could never find solutions, but no real explanations. If you have any ideas or knowledge in the field, I would greatly appreciate a response.

    In addition, if you have any questions about the fix, please file an issue. This post is also a way to help you guys as well.

    This particular type of MacBook frequently has graphic problems. This can be corrected (more or less) by "cooking" the logic board. What you are essentially a type of cooking with a mild detergent. And it has been done before!
