Would I be able to get in 2016 with that?

I started studying computer science and I digress Windows to Mac as it has a Unix based OS, and I heard it is a wiser choice to learn. I've never owned a Mac before, so this will be a whole new experience for me. I'm very excited.

I found a Mac Pro for sale for $500. I think that it is a very good deal, but I'm not sure I do know much about Mac.

The guy sent me some pictures of the machine, and here's a bit of a description of the plug on the photos:

It also comes with the mouse and keyboard.

It would be a good buy in 2016? I have program, record music, design in PS, and use the internet in general. I have to write a lot of papers on it also.

I'm looking for a startup time Super fast (like 60 seconds), no lag and fast rendering.

To play a video game would be cool too.

Would I be able to update a more recent operating system too?

If someone could give me some info on what this machine is capable of, and if it is still relevant in 2016. in terms of functionality I would appreciate it a lot!

Thank you

Hello..

"Mac OS X Ver.10.6.3.

You may be able to upgrade to 10.6 Snow Leopard (Apple no longer provides updates of security for such archaic system) to El Capitan v10.11 > update of OS X El Capitan - Apple Support

No matter which OS X is installed on a Mac in 2009, it shouldn't take a minute to start, but it is not as fast as a new Mac either.

Minimum of Photoshop is v10.9 (Mavericks) or later version, so it should work on El Capitan 10.11.

With v10.11 as el Capitan installed, you can buy the Pages app for writing documents. It is available on the App Store for $19.99.

  • How would I be able to implement a loop with this idea to my friends?

    -Very well, so I have a program which consists of a string and boolean operators, but also a number of structures of the case. In this program, I ask well enough the user various questions to identify what kind of manga they would like to. I added 5 genera, 5 manga and a synopsis for each of these manga. However, I still have to set up a loop in this program. I thought it was maybe I would start with a structure case asking what kind the reader prefers, then continue by creating a loop and inputing several manga for the user to read, but in a random order each time they run the program. Unfortuanetly, I'm not knowledgeable enough on the loops For to perform this task. Can someone give me advice on how to achieve this goal of mine?

    File with string and Boolean operators, and structures of the case is attached so that you have a Visual geometric what I was talking about at the beginning.

    No, it's not scalable. Imagine that you need to extend it to 100 question later. All of a sudden you have a pyramid of structure the size of the Egypt.

    Use a simple state machine and an array of issues. You can randomize the order by using established algorithms. (e.g.: use riffle to generate an array of indices and then rearrange the table accordingly using a small loop FOR.)

  • Buy an iPod, reset it and knew I had to turn off find my iPhone. I have no way to get in touch with the owner login Apple ID account their child to do such, both parties assumed reseting it would be all that was necessary.

    As said, I recently bought a used iPod from the original owner, they had gotten their child a new iPhone and is more used to the iPod. When asked, they told everything what I need to do is to reset the iPod when I got home. Got home and went about resetting it, but when you attempt to set it upward and connect to iTunes, it says that I need their last ID. Apple I'm not able to get in touch with the original owner, I didn't to get any contact since I wasn't worried for their need (had taken as them all I would need to do is to put) to nine).

    Is it possible to fix this? I realized this is cause I have to disable find it my iPhone thing, I did not know was even a thing or would have done so before resetting the iPhone.

  • Why you're not able to get the new June 20th, 2016 updates on your creative cloud, if you are running Windows 7.

    Why you're not able to get the new June 20th, 2016 updates on your creative cloud, if you are running Windows 7.

    So I spent all day on this because Adobe did not anywhere that I could find it. But I'm hoping some of you to save a lot of time wasted... you can't upgrade to the latest version of the application if you have not all updates to Windows 7.


    If you're like me and do not want anything to do with the Windows updates... you may encounter the same problem. Summer/don't I am not at all interested in Windows 10 (who they are sneaking into regular updates) so I don't usually have enabled updates. If you don't... you cannot upgrade your program to the latest version. Creative cloud not even give the option.


    I think it's the Microsoft Visual C++ or something like that who needs update to run the latest version of the software... If you do not have it on your system, you do not install the new updates properly, but be careful not to download sneaky windows 10 "update." Know how it's called blindly here before update you.

    I hope that helps some of you save a whole day unnecessarily.

  • Is it possible to embed a slide show in a slideshow? I use the lightbox slideshow and one of my samples is an e-brochure that I would like the Viewer to be able to get away.

    Is it possible to embed a slide show in a slideshow? I use the lightbox slideshow and one of my samples is an e-brochure that I would like the Viewer to be able to get away.

    As slideshow in Muse Widgets can contain images, it is not possible to place another slide show within a slide show.

    However, you can achieve the desired effect by placing a slideshow inside a widget of composition. The widget of composition also offers lightbox, as well as the possibility of placing any content within their target containers (similar to the hero of the slideshow Image).

    Hope that helps.

  • Portege R830: don't seem to be able to get the fingerprint reader to work

    HI - need help.

    I have a Toshiba R830 I got "downgrade" to Windows 7 32 bit version pre-installed 64-bit. Long story - but it's the software compatibility.

    Despite the download and the installation of what I think is all the relvant 32 drivers - I don't seem to be able to get the fingerprint reader to work.

    I downloaded and installed the software fp-sw-201103311304 Tosh - chilled out and tried to install it.

    It's actually hard to know if it is installed! I get a window telling me it will extract the file in a directory C:\temp and tells me at the same time that 'tinstallwb.exe' will start once the extraction is complete.

    It seems to extract - but I do not see that the installation is happening.

    Subsequently it is has that nothing listed in the title of the programs - and nothing "launches."

    In Device Manager - I can't see anything that is listed as "fingerprint reader" under security features - the list is TPM 1.2. Not actually sure that is nothing to do with the fingerprint reader - well I've enabled and then disabled via the BIOS.

    Am I missing something?
    Could the reader [which I have not used since the new - even if it's only 8 weeks] have stopped working?

    Would be very grateful for pointers.

    Try to start the installation manually. On the desktop create a folder unpack and after doing the beginning downloaded exe. Extract the files to the folder unpack and disable command run after extraction.

    When files are checked almost open and Toshiba archive extracted file extractor. You will find setup.exe.
    Try please to start it manually.

  • Issues with Dell desktop computer wireless and D-Link wireless network card. Only able to get wireless access by checking "Use Windows to configure my wireless network". This kind of file sharing impossible.

    original title: can't see the computer on wireless internet!

    I hope that's not too much detail, but I would like that the sequence of events to be clear...

    I have a Dell desktop computer that's probably six or seven years now.  It did not come with a wireless card, so I bought a DLink router and combo card wireless, install both with the DLink software.  It works beautifully.

    Later, we through my rep AT & T DSL, I got a Motorola modem/router with wireless capabilities.  I had plugged directly on my computer Dell desktop and moved to a Dell laptop DLink wireless receiver.  No problems.

    The Dell laptop is dead and the DLink receiver has not been used for a long time.  Family of my daughter moved to our place, and I have connected his desktop computers and laptop to wireless internet, using the Windows Connection Wizard.  Still no problem.

    I got a new ASUS laptop, I also linked using the Windows Wizard.  STILL no problem.

    Now, here's the problem comes.  I moved the Dell desktop computer, connected the DLink wireless receiver to it and I am able to get wireless access ONLY when I go into the properties of PC, click the wireless networks tab and check the "use Windows to configure my wireless network" box.  Then I can connect correctly, but I don't see this computer on my wireless network.  Bad luck... because I want to be able to access share files.  When I try to connect using different assistants of Windows, I get a message to the effect that, if I used another software to connect to the program, I can't use the Windows Wizard.

    So, what can I do to remove the original configuration of DLink completely and to connect to my wireless network using the wizards in Windows?  I uninstalled the software of DLink, but it seems to have no effect at all.

    BTW, Dell desktop computer is running XP, office computer of my daughter is running VISTA, and two laptops are equipped with Windows 7.  I can see all the computers on the network with the exception of the original Dell desktop computer wireless.

    Any help would be appreciated!

  • I'll always be able to get security patches, etc. for Windows Vista SP2 now that support has ended?

    I tried to look in a few different places for a clear answer... I use Windows Vista Home Premium (x 64) with Service Pack 2, and I noticed that "mainstream support" for Vista seems to have ended in April 2012. Does this mean that I no longer able to get the security updates, etc., through Windows Update? I'm a user at home and as far I can tell that Vista has "extended support" until 2017, but I don't think that this applies to individuals.

    I actually really like Vista and want to continue to use it for several years yet.
    Any help would be appreciated, I already looked upwards (must be almost all) Microsoft sites but can't find a simple answer.

    Hi Gordonaumick,

    I apologize for the inconvenience. I appreciate if you could help me with more information.

    1. What is the exact problem you face on Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE)?

    2. you receive an error message/code when using MSE?

    3. what equipment you are unable to recognize on Windows 7?

    Check that you have removed all other anti-malware real-time products that were already installed on your PC, including free products / trial that were installed when the PC was purchased (Norton, McAfee, TM, AVG, OneCare, Malware bytes (paid), etc.).

    Note: If you use more than one antivirus or antispyware program at the same time, your PC may know a decrease in performance, become unstable, or restart unexpectedly. Before you install Microsoft Security Essentials, or if you want to solve problems with Microsoft Security Essentials, including the update of issues, you must first completely remove your PC Internet security programs.

    You may have to uninstall/reinstall MSE. You should be able to remove MSE of the Control Panel. Uninstall problems see: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/protect/forum/protect_start/uninstalling-mse/a63b8c4b-58ed-437e-8086-fa08d80725a4

  • Would I be able to edit RAW (DNG) iPhone in CS6?

    Hello

    I had a fast delivery and the results are very disappointing. Very grainy in bright outdoor photos. Somehow a universal thing, I would have thought the DNG would work fine, but I saw that the last camera raw update lists support for iPhones. I need to this update and upgrade to CC? Would I be able to use the DNG Converter to convert the output files to the iPhone in a format that CS6 can understand?

    Thank you!

    Phil

    DNG Converter should work fine.  I suggest to watch these two videos to get the idea:

    First, you will need to download and install the DNG Converter from this link:

    Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter: for Windows >

    Then you must watch this video if you are not familiar with DNG formats:

    Camera Raw: how to use Adobe DNG Converter - YouTube >

    The latest version of the DNG Converter is 9.7, and that's what you need.

    It is another official video from Adobe:

    The benefits of the DNG - YouTube File Format >

    I hope this helps.
