MacBook Pro :: Best Way To Optimize Battery Life
May 31, 2012so since my late 2010 Macbook Pro died I just got a new one this weekend. I was wondering what the best way to optimize the battery life on it would be as I'm noticing the battery life seems shorter on it than the new one. Is it true that if you use your Macbook more often on the AC charger than just on the battery itself it will make the battery life better in the long run?

PowerPC :: How To Optimize G4 FW800
Sep 11, 2008I've take home an unused, unloved Power Mac G4 FW800 from work and would love to hear any anyone may have to get it running @ its optimum without forking out for a new Processor. I wont be doing any gaming on it, plan using it for Media and Design like Final Cut Express4, Photoshop and Illustator and for music and movies.
Its has a Dual 1.25Ghz Processor, 167Mhz Bus, ive installed a new ATI 9600PRO Graphic Card and bumped the RAM up to its 2GB max and have an external 500GB 7200RPM Iomega FireWire HDD. I also got a Philips 19in Wide LCD 1440x900 for cheap.
Mac Mini :: Optimize It For 8 Gigs Of Ram?
Jun 27, 2012I have a Mini (mid July 2010) that has worked flawlessly, yet I decided to install 8gigs of ram. At times I can have lots of things going on and with the original 4 gigs it seemed to bog down. Thinking more ram is the answer, of which it's apparently not, the Mini still can bog down even with the 8 gigs.
When checking Utilities and system memory it always has at least 3.5 gigs in a FREE status. No matter if I open almost everything. The system does recognize all 8 gigs it just does not use it all.
Is there some settings I need to tweak? All updates are installed. I'm not sure what to do to get the Mini to utilize all of its available ram. Or am I applying PC logic here?

Mac Pro :: Optimize System For Video Editing?
Mar 13, 2012I'm working with large video projects using FCPX and want to optimize the performance and reliability of my Mac Pro.
I'm told that the system files should be separate to my working files i.e. on a separate hard drive.
I have two internal hard drives so can I move the User Folder onto the 2nd hard drive or does the User Folder have to live on the same hard drive as the system files? Do I need to just move the video files to the 2nd HD? I also do 3D animation and would like those files to live on the 2nd HD.

Hardware :: Optimize Airport Express - Get Best Signals?
Oct 4, 2009The building already has a wireless network in place, which is in place solely for those renting out the extra space, like her. However, since the offices that she is renting are so far back in the corner, her signal is less than perfect, and nonexistent in two of the rooms. I offered to bring in my Airport Express (previously purchased just to stream music) to connect to the network and extend the range, thus offering them complete coverage, but a little reading on the subject tells me that this will effectively cut their transmission speed by roughly half. Is there a way to optimize the Airport Express in a way to get the best signal to her offices without such a harsh penalty of loss of speed? I know this sounds impossible, but I figured if anyone knew a way to do it it would be you guys. I'm down to try anything, whether its software based or something as extreme as wrapping tinfoil around the Express. One thing I can't do is spend money to amend this problem, so I can't purchase a new Express, install a new network, etc. The Facts:
1. Older Airport Express (b/g, not n)
2. Router in the office is (I believe) a fairly newish Airport Extreme (with n)
3. The computers in the offices are the last model Powerbook G4 (g), a late 2008 Macbook (n), and a couple of year old Dell (probably g).
4. No active wired connection through the walls.
OS X V10.7 Lion :: How To Optimize It For Use On A Slow Internet Connection
Apr 2, 2012I recently upgraded to Lion OS X v 10.7.3, and i like iMail 5.2 when I work from my office or home.BUT, when I am working in the field I often have access to only glacially slow internet via an internet modem, and iMail takes FOREVER to download my messages. Way longer than my pre Lion version of iMail.Is there a way to optimize iMail 5.2 in order to optimize for slow internet connections? For instance, to partially retrieve large messages? Or to somehow deactivate all the synchronizing and other Activity that goes on in the background?

Final Cut Pro X :: Waveform Tool Not Working To Optimize Saturation Of Videos
Aug 28, 2014I am using Final Cut Pro and I want to use the waveform tool to optimise the saturation of my videos (2 feeds from different camera angles that are not balanced yet).
The Histogram works fine, but the vectorscope and the waveform view just display a bunch of junk. It does not look anything like what I see in the instruction manual. I attach a screenshot so you can see what I currently see.

I'm looking at the 11.6/1.4/4gb of ram. Most of the time I'm only running 2 Virtual machines, just want to know if it can handle them.
I've seen some people have got win7 to run which is cool but the second os running is critical in this scenario.

Nov 21, 2009Hey so I just got a MacBook in September and I want to keep it fast, clean, and working smooth for the years to come.I want to do all the things possible regularly (maybe once every 2 or 3 weeks, maybe more often) that will help optimize the performance, speed, and everything else on my MBP and keep it clean and working smooth... If I download Onyx, I don't know what "processes" to do and something might happen or get deleted if I check off something for Onyx to do. So could you tell me specifically what to do to just make my MBP faster, cleaner and all that like I said before.

MacBook Pro :: Getting The Best Performance From Thunderbolt?
Apr 15, 2012Copying 1.3 TB of data from one USB2 drive to another, using the port on the TB display and a port on the MBP it was going to take three days plus, moving the drives so both coming off the MBP the data copies in about 12 hours, about what you would expect, and what I experienced on my Mac Pro. I have not noticed this in the past but have only ever moved small amounts via USB. (maybe I also need to run a speed test on the TB RAID.) All software up to date?

MacBook Pro :: How To Improve Overall Performance
Apr 17, 2012I am starting to do more and more projects recently everything from illustrations, 3d motion graphics, video work, compositing etc... The laptop seems to be doing okay but I know there is room for improvement. I'm definitely going to max out my ram to 8gb. I'm thinking of doing this option bay thing here [URL].
And putting in a ssd as the main drive and keeping the 750 gb for storage purposes. That or possibly just upgrading the ram and the hard drive to something higher than 5400rpm. Should I just start with ram upgrade, should I just upgrade the hard drive to something with higher rpd or go solid state. Also what brands do you recommend?
