Mac recommendation please

I am looking for a replacement facility for my parents in their late 60s. they previously shared a very old macbook pro (15 ", I think), who conked a few weeks ago.

my mother uses it mainly for browsing the web, candy crush, email, view photos, watch streaming of Korean dramas. My father use it for navigation, excel and word.

I thought I had them the low-end imac 21 "(1, 6GHz, 1 to), but the comments I read slow performance make me reconsider." anyone with a similar use of the imac would say about its performance please? they do need a better machine, but I don't want them to be confronted with the spinning beach ball more often than necessary, especially on a new computer.

I am also considering a macbook or macbook air or even the mac mini (but as I won't be there to help with all upwards, something that they can just plug and play may be more convenient.)

Nothing wrong with the new iMacs. I have heard a lot about slow Mac here. But you can't judge what you read here. It's like a Hospital ER, for most of the people with problems to come here.

They will use the aircraft mainly at home or on the road? I ask because for what you say they use for an iPad would probably be enough, and if they have a wi - fi connection, you could buy one without a cell phone.

    In the code, you have TWO spaces between your classes 'e-mail address' and

  • Scanning both sides of the Mac procedure please

    Hello, I bought a MFP HP LaserJet PRO M477fdw.

    Scanning on one side is OK but the printer is supposed to be able to do duplex scanning. I is not this function in the system preference--> printer & Scanner. In HP Easy Scan, there is a duplex option, but even I've chosen, hit the scan button on the side as a single scanned computer. Someone knows how to scan both sides at the same time?

    Please try scanning with HP Easy Scan by doing the following:

    Open HP Easy Scan and then open the menu Presets in the presets menu, define the type of Document and the source as document feeder, then check the box to scan both sides.

    Kind regards

  • Recommendations please

    Hi all.  I'm not new to VMware, I have been using the Server version free for years as a tool for self-training to run different operating systems.  But now I find myself with a new situation in the work that I need to try to understand.

    They want to buy a Mac Book Pro, which will be used as a machine of field, not connected to the corporate network.  They want to run a machine virtual windows on the Mac Book Pro, which will be only a company controlled HE machine and will need access to the network.  Is it possible to allow network access windows machine without going through the Mac interact on the network?

    We can now lock the ethernet port is only used for the virtual machine?  Or should I have the virtual machine to connect to the network through the wireless card and disable the connection Wireless for the Mac Book Pro?

    Thank you for all comments.

    It's very simple to have the virtual machine connected to the network, while refusing to host.

    The Network Adapter to the Virtual Machine bridged value.

    On the Mac put his network card for "Use of DHCP with a manual address" and set the IP address to an address of 169.254.xxx.zzz.  This will allow the Virtual Machine to receive an IP address from the DHCP server on the physical LAN or configure manually on the host's physical LAN while rejecting the other connectivity to the host to interact.

  • A recommendation, please

    I am an old user of PS, dating back to 2.5 v, but I'm new to video. My intention is to film sequences, correct it in first and use it in the shows of my creation using Proshow Producer on the Web, combined with the stills. I think it's called Fusion and I like the idea a lot.

    I don't understand the terminology of specifications for the videos, especially the dimensions. For example, in the first, can we successfully combine images whose resolution is 640 x 480 pixels with images with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels?  If the answer is no, which is preferable, large or small numbers, and if it is necessary that all clips are the same, is there a non-destructive conversion mode?  The same question applies to the frames per second (fps).

    If there is a good book for novices autour, let me know, pretty please.

    Thank you

    Karla

    -----------

    For example, in the first, can we successfully combine images whose resolution is 640 x 480 pixels with images with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels?

    -------------

    You mentioned shooting images 1920 x 1080. combining with stills etc in a show using dreamweaver with fusion?... .quelquechose like that?

    First set you up a project! The project has specifications (predefined settings or you set your own custom settings).

    Say you shoot 1920 x 1080 progressive at 24 fps. You project would (normally) 1920 x 1080 24 p.  Your images fit into this space very well. If you put images 640 x 480 in this chronology, they look tiny.  This is why I suggested that you use photoshop to make a new file at 1920 x 1080 and paste a 640 x 480 image in it... only then you would see what it would look like.  I don't know if that's what you thought, it was funny?

    Keep in mind also, 1920 x 1080 is 640 x 480, 16:9 format is not.  Yet once again, looking at the sample file in photoshop, you can see.

    Now you can do a number of things to handle what you want to do with your show, depending on what you want to do and your assets.  For example, you can do your progressive project 640 x 480 24 fps for your images (they will fill the editing frame... your screen). Then when you put images 1920 x 1080 in project calendar that they look very BIG and you'll notice that it's cropped.  If you are a photoshop file is 640 x 480 and stick a file 1920 x 1080, you will see how much is cropped.  You can use the effect/motion/scale on the fooage from 1920 x 1080 to scale down and adapt to the screen... but because of the aspect ratio, you won't see the image unless you create black bars. In photoshop if you use ' transform what "on the big picture glued to reduce under 640 x 480, you have created... you will see what I mean.

    I know not what your other programs made to your files to make a picture to display and my suspicion is that if you do what I suggest in what precedes, 'create photoshop files to see what I mean'... .you will get a better idea at the outset what you deal with in first... so you can plan ahead and do something close to what you watched pre... what you really want.

    Good luck

  • Upgrade recommendations please

    Aloha,

    Currently I have a cluster four host sitting at ESX 3.5U4. Earlier in the year, I was about to upgrade to ESX4.0U1. Another project came and he had to wait. Now we fast forward until today and I can see the upgrade happening in the future near semi. But my, how things have changed! I now have a multitude of directions, I can go. I can go ESX 4.0U2, ESX 4.1 or ESXi 4.1.

    I have very limited to the 4.x and ESXi times. No matter what I do, going to 4.x will be a big change. The question I have is the size of a leap to make? Y at - there a big difference between ESX 4.0U2 and ESX 4.1? It of time to bite the bullet ESXi - or would it be?

    Mahalo,

    Bill

    Honestly, just talk about operation and reliability, there is no real differences between ESX 4.0U2 (or just ESX 4.0) and ESX 4.1.

    If you use ESX 3.5, is perhaps best to upgrade your 4.1 ESX host directly.  As you say, if you can upgrade to ESX 4.1, upgrading to ESX 4.0U2 would be an unnecessary step.

    In fact, I have some ESX/ESXi hosts on 4.0U1 version and I don't plan to upgrade to version 4.1 in the short term.  Not worth for me.

    However, I have a few ESXi 3.5, and my intention is to upgrade to ESXi 4.1 directly.

    Best wishes / Saludos

  • The antivirus that is recommended for Mac?

    As I noticed that the forum alert alert does not install MacKeeper, may I know which antivirus is recommended for my Mac Pro, please?

    None are required or recommended beyond what is installed with OS X. If you have an adware:

    Remove the browser pop up problems

    Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.0.1.7

    Adblock Plus 1.8.9, GlimmerBlockeror AdBlock

    Remove the adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac

    How to remove adware FlashMall of OS X

    Useful links about Malware problems

    "If you have an immediate problem with ads popping up see the Mac without danger" Adware Removal Guide, remove the advertising software that shows ads advertising and graphics on your Macand MalwareBytes for Mac. If you need antivirus protection Thomas Reed recommends to use ClamXAV. (Thanks to Thomas Reed to this recommendation.) You might consider adding this Safari extensions: Adblock Plus 1.8.9.

    Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click the Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If it stops your problem, then re-enable one by one until the problem returns. Now remove this extension as it is the origin of the problem.

    The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.

    Difficulty of pop-ups in browser that support Safari.

    Common pop - ups include a message saying that the Government has taken over your computer and you pay release (often called "Moneypak"), or a false message saying that your computer has been infected and you need to call a number of tech support (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it to be resolved. First of all, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and that your computer has not been assigned. This "hack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so don't pay not money, call number, or provide personal information. This article will give an overview of the solution to remove the pop-up window.

    Quit Safari

    Usually, these pop-ups will not go by clicking 'OK' or 'Cancel '. In addition, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in grey, including the option to leave Safari. You'll probably force quit Safari. To do this, press command + option + ESC, select Safari, press on force quit.

    Relaunch Safari

    If you restart Safari, the page will reopen. To avoid this, hold the "Shift" key when opening Safari. This will prevent windows since the last time that Safari was running since the reopening.

    It will not work in all cases. The SHIFT key must be maintained at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window is displayed again. In these circumstances, after force quit Safari, turn off Wi - Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then restart Safari normally. He'll try to reload the malicious Web page, but without a connection, it will not be able to. Leave this page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com and try to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet and the page that you entered is displayed rather than the malicious.
