My 15" 2.66 matte MBP should arrive tomorrow to replace a last-gen powerbook g4.
Are there any tests I should run or things I should look out for?
I plan on installing FCP, Adobe CS4, and Aperture for work purposes and some basics:
Firefox, VLC, Onyx, XLD, Unarchiver, MacPar, Toast, etc.
Anything else I should know about?
I want to connect a wireless Epson XP 510 printer. Installed drivers from the Epson website but they do not appear to be compatible according to the drop down list in the apple menu for adding a printer.

I was reviewing audio books on my wish list and the list just became empty. I have stopped and restarted iTunes and I have manually re-logged into my apple account but the list keeps coming up empty. I have tried both the shortcut on the top right and from the drop down on the top left but nothing. Is this a temporary issue with Apple..I'm on a Mac running OS10.9.4 and iTunes 11.3.1

Mac Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am about to purchase my first mac ever (black macbook) and while i've extensively done my research on the hardware specs, i'm not that familiar with the types of programs to use for certain things. With that being said, i was wondering if you well-informed bunch would be able to steer me in the direction of the best programs in the following fields.
*Best Bit torrent client (i had Bit comet on my PC and was pretty good)
*Best music-listening program (had Winamp)
*Best Chat client (had trillian)
*Best program to transfer music to ipod (also just got my first ipod ever and hate iTunes -- i had a Creative ZEN and am a big fan of the 'Drag-and-Drop' method
*Best web browser (Firefox or safari?)
Thats all i can think of right now. Again, if anybody can give me a heads up, i'd greatly appreciate it.
When I select a picture to save, it brings up the 'save' box, but takes a short time to allow me to do anything while it compiles a list of files under the 'places' tab on the left. I wouldn't normally mind this, but it takes about 30 seconds or so, and as far as I can see (through searching in the finder), all of these files were deleted a long time ago. Is there any way I can clear this list, or if they are still on my Macbook, how can I find them!

Is there a list of all the different ways to boot/start up a macbook air? I know the option key allows you to boot from different partitions or drives, and command-R takes you straight to recovery. I've heard of booting directly into single user mode, but can't find the key combination to press, and are there any others?

I recently decided to sync my Safari reading list between devices, using iCloud.
When I altered the iCloud settings on my Macbook so that Safari was synced, what happened was not synchronization.
What happened was, my up-to-date Macbook Safari reading list (Date X) was replaced with my dated iCloud Safari reading list (Date X minus say 100 days), and the intervening items apparently lost.
I need to retrieve the items lost in this synchronization failure.

My contacts list is transferred from a PC/Microsoft and is in random order. Alphabetizing via first and last names. I need to organize! I tried dragging and dropping but where to drop? Not on another card--don't want to merge them. Disappeared when I tried dropping on letter at top.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Macbook Pro 2009 with Mavericks.I will be working happily on the internet then suddenly the wifi stops working. When I click the wifi icon, the list of wifi networks has disappeared.
The only fix I've found is reboot, then the list reappears, but only for a while then the wifi networks disappear again.
Could this be the Airport card needs replacing or something else? I'm guessing it is, but need to know if it could be something else first. Would a new airport card fix it?
I have a brand new macbook pro which doesn't experience this problem and works perfectly, so I guess it's not the router or Airport Extreme that I use.
Bought a HP Laserjet Pro 8500 A909g. I have installed software but driver never appears in list so there is an option to manually select it. Sometimes the printer then appears and other times it doesn't. Message then appears: If your device is not listed it is not supported by this installer. Downloaded installer again from HP but still no good. Printer is wireless but was given USB cable to connect to Macbook Pro as don't have internet at home and was told it would be no problem. Message now appearing saying if USB port on printer is at front (mine is) do not connect to USB on Macbook. However, it doesn't bother to tell me how to connect it any other way. Nothing in manual. Running out of patience. Just starting working for myself and have clients waiting for designs which I can't even print off.

Nothing I did would change the greyed out button to make it functional.
