Updated the MBP 13 "or low-end MBP 15"?

I'm finally replace my MBP 2010 13 "and now I'm agonizing the choice of a new laptop. I reduced options available in two - or 13 ", upgraded to the processor dual-core i7, 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage or the preset lower of 15'. As you can probably, I keep my machines for a while, so longevity is certainly a matter of concern. I do a lot of graphic design and photo retouching on Photoshop, and I have also recently get in (self-produced short films) video editing. While I've used iMovie to date, I think to switch to Final Cut Pro. I know that the quad core in the model 15 "would be much more powerful in this regard. However, I'm not a professional, while the speed of editing/video additional formatting would be nice, I'm not sure about totally. Right now, I think I'm leaning toward the 13 ", because I tend to feel it's a better investment to get a smaller screen as the largest screen high-end low end I love also the portability of the 13" - However, I have not a desktop computer, and after a trip to the Apple Store I must admit that the largest screen is tempting.

With all that in mind, I guess my main question is - it - even the low end 15 "would be a computer much more powerful/better together than every 13" Mbps? Or is there merit to get a high level of range 13 "? Thoughts and opinions greatly appreciated!

If your course 13 "MBP is satisfying your requirements, a new model will do the same and more.  Not be carried away by the quad CPU.  It is superiority comes into play only when a given application is written to take advantage of parallel processing it provides.  The model 15 "has a larger screen which should be considered as the deciding factor.  If the 13 "screen is satisfactory, opt for it.

Ciao.

  • Unable to update the dates of start/end with updateUser API

    Hi all

    I'm trying to update the dates of beginning and end using the updateUser API, but the dates are not defined. I know the updateUser call works because I tested it by changing the user's first name and it worked fine (checked by the IOM web app). Here is the code I use to update as well as the values of the sample that I use. No exception is thrown either. I have no idea what can be the problem. Also, one of my customer request must also display the time when these values where it is updated (via a custom web application that I am building). Is - is this posible? Before I received the time where the call to userUpdate was made and adding that the values would lie in the hash table, but started using 0 for the time since that's what I read on a thread on this forum (Re: (IOM) Timestamp format must be yyyy-mm-dd... )

    /*
    Examples of values
    startDate = 2010-11-08
    endDate = 2010-12-09
    */


    String startDateStr = startDate.toString () + "00:00:00.000";
    String endDateStr = endDate.toString () + "00:00:00.000";

    /*

    startDateStr = 00:00:00.000 2010-11-08

    */

    AttrValues Hashtable < String, String > = new Hashtable < String, String > ();
    attrValues.put ("Users.Start", activateDateStr);
    attrValues.put ("Users.End", inactivateDateStr);
    usrOps.updateUser (rsUser, attrValues);


    Please help me out I was stuck on this problem too long.

    It works fine for me.

    Map strDate = new HashMap();
    strDate.put ("Date of Users.Start", "' * 12:01:56.000000000 2009-06-24 * '");
    moUserUtility.updateUser (userResultSet, strDate);

    It will show you in DB as * 24 June 09 *. I don't understand what you are asking for more in your thread.

    But updateUser API works with this format. If you found the time to some application, convert to this format and run.

    If you need help, let me know.

  • I have a MBP of 2009 end. I updated the material to 8 GB of ram with an SSD of 240gig. I want to run the new OSX, but is not on the list approved for the update. Anyone know why?

    I have a MBP of 2009 end. I updated the material to 8 GB of ram with an SSD of 240gig. I want to run the new OSX, but is not on the list approved for the update. Anyone know why?

    It is a decision that was made by Apple.  El Capitan is the newest OSX that will support a 2009 MBP.

    This is not uncommon.  My 2006 MBP came with Tiger, but is limited to OSX Snow Leopard.

    Old hardware ends up by becoming obsolete with newer technology.

  • Need an SSD to replace my HARD drive in 15 "model end of 2011 of the MBP

    I use the original disc of hard - 750 GB - provided with the MBP (late 2011 model), but its very slow and I want out parts of the HARD drive before it dies. (I also have a Quad Core i7 processor - another reason I want to keep this MBP, rather than having to buy a new for $3 k).

    I watched the SanDisk SSD. Later those go up to 960 GB of storage, but they are SATA III models and my MBP has only capacity SATA II with a link speed negotiated 3. GBs WHEREAS the SATA III new models (SanDisk/Samsung) can handle up to 6 GBs. SanDisk Tech Support told me I could use their latest models SATA III , but the speed would be actually slower that my current set up.

    Thus, all other options for me? for one SSD that is compatible with my MBP and increase the speed?

    Thank you! Appreciate any help!

  • The MBP 13 "with an SSD upgrade

    I want to upgrade my Macbook Pro 13 "(fin 2011)." I want to remove the optical drive and replace it with the SSD. The problem is that my hard drive is almost 400 GB occupied out of 500 GB. The budget SSD will be the 250 GB. How should I proceed in this case, I want the OS can be completely copied into the SSD and the rest of the things in the hard drive. Have I not clone entire hard drive SSD or copy only the operating system work? Applications work if they are in the hard drive and operating system is in SSD.

    Usually in the facilities of double disc such as you plan, the DSS should have the OSX installed on it and find where the current HARD drive.  The HARD drive is then placed in the location of the DVD player.  But the final choice is always yours.

    Back up your data on an external HARD drive.

    Because the SSD will not have the capacity to hold all of your data, I recommend that you format the SSD drive, install the OSX and install it in the MBP.

    Then you have some decisions to make.  What data do you want on the SSD and what data to remain on the HARD disk in the location of DVD?  From inside connectivity is much faster than USB (unless you have a connection available Thunderbolt), I would setup the backup disk in the DVD drive and data location 'drag & drop' for the SSD.

    Depending on the capacity/performance of the HARD drive and HARD drive backup, you can keep them where they are or trade.  If keep you them where they are, clear the outboard/back up in the car and the two internal drives to backup.  If change you disks, clone the drive that now is outboard to the internal HARD drive (it has all of your data and the top OSX) and then erase the drive HARD outside and safeguarding the two internal drives for it.

    Life would be simpler if you can afford a 500 GB SSD.

  • My hard drive of the MBP is dead?

    The hard drive on my computer stopped booting upward.

    Apple MacBook Pro MacBook Pro 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 with 500 GB HDD (spinning type)

    OS X 10.11.2

    I can't think of anything that might have caused to stop abruptly. My suspicion is that the drive is a disposable, I have two question.

    According to the following steps, do you think it's dead?

    When I turn on the MBP, I get the OS X Utilities menu with four options:

    1 Time Machine backup restore

    When I choose that option, my Time Machine backup is not found, even if it is connected.

    2 reinstall OS X

    The drive internal and attached external drives aren't options I am shown as available to reinstall OS X.

    3. get help online

    4. disk utility

    When I choose this option, all disks and partition are gray.

    I can't select the hard disk of the MBP to select repair or erase the internal drive.

    After that I did a SMC reset, disk utility not load disks I could see in #1 above.

    I also tried an OS X Recovery

    In this case recovery disk gives only one option for the installation of OS X Capitan and it's available HD (650 MB total, 121,9) recovery

    As mentioned above, I tried to reset the system management controller (SMC)

    The result was that I was once again see the OS X Utilities screen with four options

    Assuming that he died, would be the WD500LPCX of Western Digital 500 GB blue 7mm, SATA 6 GB/S 16 MB, I bought as a suitable replacement?

    I was able to get a disk utility to perform first aid, the results are in the attachment. Looks like I'm able to erase as well. So it might not be dead after all. No idea how to do this?

  • How can I change lightroom 5 previews smart on the book of mac pro (mbp) when lightroom master image files 5 are on my external hard drive is disconnected from the mbp

    How can I change lightroom 5 previews smart on the book of mac pro (mbp) when lightroom master image files 5 are on my external hard drive is disconnected from the mbp? So far when I try to disconnect the external hard drive the mbp, I get the pop following window: "external hard drive A" disc could not be ejected because it uses 'Lightroom '. Exit this application and try out this disc again. When I do that and restart Lightroom 5, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom - screen select catalog appears, but does not list my external hard drive A as a choice.

    I've been reviewing Adobe's Lightroom Help | Smart web page Previews Lightroom 5 and still have not been able to understand what I am doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

    HI Thomas,

    Thank you very much for your suggestions! They finally gave me the direction I go solve the problems I had. Basically, the Mac Book Pro based Lightroom irdata files still had thumbnails. Once I removed the and redirected Lightroom external hard disk, smart previews of the external drive work when the player is well off the MBP. Much obliged.

    I was wondering if you have any suggestions on how to backup all the files content and related data of Lightroom that exists on the external hard drive to another external hard drive as a backup? Ideally, it would be great if I could be able to launch security HD since the Mac Book Pro and do the work of Lightroom with the backup image files and intelligent previews correctly. Thanks again. Your help has been invaluable.
