Mac Pro :: UPS - Good Investment For Expensive Machine
Apr 26, 2010
I am planning on getting a 2010 Mac Pro right when they come out and have been doing a lot of research on all the different things people use with theirs. I started looking at UPS's and think that it may be a good investment for such an expensive machine. I am currently looking at an APC 1500 and am wondering if anyone has this and likes it or dislikes it. The one thing I noticed is that there is no software/firmware for this for Mac, only PC.

iPods have been out for years now. Shouldn't they have come down in price some? I realize the iPods of today are better than the iPods of 2 or 3 years ago. But I'd be happy to have an unused old one for $50... or $80 even.

I currently have a 500gb in my 2008 pre-unibody HD bay, and another 500gb drive in the optibay. I would like to purchase the 1tb 2.5 drive after hearing that it will fit in the pre-unibody's optibay. I search on Newegg below, and I am confused on why a cased 1tb WD drive is cheaper than the WD 1tb Scorpio Blue bare drive?

I am from Pakistan and studying masters in korea, I am thinking to purchase a macbook pro. but when i visited the macbook store website i got a shocking difference in price! Macbook pro 13-inch: 2.4ghz core i5 price on apple store is mentioned as $1,199.00.But for the same model with exactly same specs on apple stores' website of korea the price is 155000Won (aprox. $1357.8).why is this price difference in purchasing macbook from korea and other countries? is this because of only korean keyboard prints? So i am not a korean, and i don't need korean keyboard then is it possible to get the macbook from korea in same price as it is mentioned on website $11909!?

I recently had my MBP replaced due to screen flickering. The new hardware is exactly the same as the previous hardware (3.06, 4GB, 7200RPM 500GB). My question is - is it ok just to swap the hard drive from the old machine and put it into the new machine? I'm not sure how things like color profiles, permissions will be affected. I know it will work, but not sure if it is recommended... Thoughts?

Does he have a point?

I am upgrading my MBP first gen unibody to an SSD drive. I just read that we should not clone an existing HDD to a SSD. The author did not give a reason why. So, my question is: will cloning my current HDD to a new SSD (using Super Duper) adversely affect the SSD performance? My initial plan for upgrading before reading this article was to clone my HDD to a new SSD in an enclosure (using Super Duper), then install the SSD. I thought this would save me a lot of effort restoring everything from scratch.

Hi, so I've been using Blender off and on for about a year and a half and I was thinking about buying a different program. I'd like to keep it under $200 but if its a little over that fine. I was thinking about Silo but I don't really like not having the ability to extrude single vertices and subdivide objects like in Blender. Also if their are any products that have a student discount or something like that for someone in high school that would help too.

I am starting to wonder if Apple will ever 'fix' or upgrade the screen(s) in Rev B to the same level as rev A or if this screen is something we have to accept when we buy a MBA?
Cant make up my mind whether to buy the Rev B or not due to the screen. a last gen MBP glossy has a better screen as far as I have seen.

It appears that the MacBook Air may have a hinge problem.
Mine sure does, exactly as described, see [URL].
Not sure if a lawsuit will fix mine, but if it gets noticed maybe Apple will respond. Anyone else having this problem?

I've been using the official Last.fm scrobbler for Mac, but it's soooo slow.
It freezes quite a lot when I click it in the menu bar to 'love' a track, so I'm looking for another one.
The things I want it to do are:
- scrobble my music (duh)
- let me 'love' a track
- iPod integration

Installed a few software up dates in Parallels/Windows XP and saw the processor hit 176 degrees. Can anyone recommend a decent fan/cooling mat that will fit the AIR? I have one for my MacBook Pro that's unfortunately a little too large.

Well, recently my MacBook MagSafe screwed up, so I do not use my computer since 2 months ago (I know I know, its sad ) but anyway. I saw on eBay some "genuine" MagSafe chargers, well, I think are some sort of refurbished devices but I'm not so shure about it. Here's the link. Have anyone tried this MagSafes? I mean, they're not fake or something like that?
But there's another option called DealExtreme. They sell all kind of gadgets and electronic curiosities, mostly accesories, some of them "from" Apple. I say "from" because they sell this things in a very low price, close the 70% or more off. I heard that they got this amazing prices because they made their products from the same Apple factory in China, but without quality control, packaging, import taxes, Apple logo... etc.

Been using NewsRack on my iPhone and iPad and really would like to find one for my MacBook Pro. I want something that works well and looks decent, but my main request is one that supports google reader syncing. MacUpdate search is down or i'd just go hunting for one myself.

I have read a few posts of new i7 users posting various stats on their machine. I am specificaly interested in the gpu performence (without OC). I am a traditional tower pc guy, but i have slowly but surely been able to convince myself of the relative merits of going loaded imac i7 over low end MP (the least of which is the horrible value and waiting 500+ days for no real improvments other than having the base now include a few bto upgrades to save you a few hundred bucks...but dont get me started).
Anyway, back on message, NAS solves my concerns about extra HD's, the cpu is certanly fast enough, mem not an issue...so my only concern is gpu.
Just looking at it from a price perspective, i am not sure how comfortable i am that a $130 graphics card will keep me fat and happy for 3 years (tech refresh assumption). I don't need a $600 cards, but when i have typicaly built pc's, the last few years, a $300 or so card has kept me happy. With the imac, it appears that switching gpu's is not easy or something i will probably do during its warranty covered life cycle....
So how good is the card (sorry it took so long to get there). I am a somewhat power home user...not professional, but i probably fall under the label i saw floaing around on another post as someone using 500 bucks of sw to load up raw images of their cat...or in this case kids and a golden retriever. I love games, but to be fair, my xbox has replaced most of my need for quick fps. 27in is a big screen. Can i play most games at full frame/speed extra? I assume photo shop cs5, et will work fine.
i really am on the fence on which one to get, i guess next week hopefully i can really price compare them, but the MP just seems to be such a god awefull value that its hard for me to jusitfy buying the low end model...my legacy prejudiceness against all in ones is taking a bit to get over...the imac seems to be the obvious choice.

I have a new Bamboo Capture Wacom tablet. I also have a Macbook Pro 13". What I want to do is find an app to take notes in. I know there are apps that change handwriting to editible text, I don't want that. I just want to be able to write and be able to save my notes (in my handwriting). I repeat, I DO NOT want to use a handwriting recognition software.
