Mac Pro :: HDTV Monitor - What Specs Should Be Considered
Nov 20, 2010I am looking for a hdtv, in 32 to 40 inch range, to buy this black friday and was wondering what kind of specs I should consider when choosing one. My primary use will be in logic sessions and sibelius (scoring) I understand that 1080p is a must for reading text (music note heads) and that 720 is crap. I was looking at the Westinghouse 40inch 60hz 1080p hdtv from target. Would this suffice.

MacBook Pro :: Lightroom With ONE WHOLE Shoot Cataloged Be Considered "intensive" For A Computer?
Apr 25, 2012I've been experiencing an incredibly frustrating issue with my MacBook Pro. Essentially, until the fan kicks on, it is performing as a computer with its specs should run. At the moment the fan kicks on, it becomes virtually useless. Really, truly glacial.
I have a first-generation unibody model (you know, the ones with the detachable battery). It has repectable specs–2.53 GHz Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT 512 MB. I have also completely re-installed the newest version of Lion from scratch, as well as fresh installs of Adobe Creative Suite + Lightroom. Everything is totally fresh. No funky drivers from God-knows-when eating up my CPUs. So here is what happens: On a regular day (I'm a photographer), I'll open up Lightroom, Photoshop, and Spotify. The computer operates at a very decent clip, nice and snappy. Without modifying ANYTHING, my fans will kick on, and I'll have about 25% of the performance I had, literally, 10 seconds earlier. I have been exhaustive in diagnosis. I'll explain. Checked Activity Monitor, and everything looks completely normal. The programs and processes that I anticipated would be eating CPUs, indeed, are the only ones that are listed doing so. Nothing funky. I have installed Fan Control to monitor the speed of the fans as well as temp of the computer. Everything looks normal there, too. Along with reinstalling my operating systems, I decided to re-build my Lightroom albums. As of right now, there is only one shoot in the entire program. No gigantic libraries being indexed. I also make sure to build all of my thumbnails in advance so when I'm working in Photoshop, Lightroom isn't doing that in the background. About every hour or so, I'll close down Photoshop and Lightroom, and re-open them to clear caches. Only the fan affects the performance. And yes, I have broken open the back of the machine and gave the fans a cleaning. ****, they weren't even that dirty. It's also important to note that, yes, the fans kick on very quickly after opening up intensive programs. Even if I am just starting up a completely cool computer, and the programs have only been open and idle for a matter of minutes. Now should Lightroom with ONE WHOLE shoot cataloged be considered "intensive" for a computer with my specs? I don't even know anymore.

Oct 16, 2009I have a Black MacBook (Early 2008). I think that I still have the factory standard RAM sticks (I bought the Mac used from a friend). I noticed today that I am running on only one gig of RAM even though I have two gigs of memory.

Aug 26, 2010I have a iMac DV G3/500 (Special Edition) from summer 2000. Anyway, I am using Mac OS 10.2.8. Recently, my start up disk's memory has gone done from 1.2 GB available free space to 668MB (currently). I haven't saved anything on this disk so I can not understand why this memory has dissappeared. I have also had icons on the start up menu disappear. Could someone please tell me how I can restore the missing memory?
OS X :: Adding Memory And Then Running The Memory Utility Application?
Mar 21, 2009I just bought a early 2009 MAC Pro and it came with 3GB of RAM, I ordered 3 2GB sticks of memory to replace the 3 1GB sticks that I had in there from Kingston. I turned off the unit, I popped the little levers and pulled the memory out of slot 1, 2, 3 and then replaced the memory with the new Kingston in slot 1, 2, 3
One of the sticks in is not working at all and I get the RED LED light no matter what slot I move that chip to. So I am running on 2 of the new Kingston memory chips.
Can I mix the memory and add the 1GB into slot 3 and 4 with slot 1 and 2 full of 2GB chips?
Also how to I run the memory utility again? I went to /system/Library/CoreServices/ and then I see the program Memory Slot Utility.app
How do I run this? I'm used to no spaces and I type ./then program name

Apr 14, 2010I'm new to mac and I've noticed that I can have 2 gigs of memory one day and the next I'm down to 24 or something!I've noticed that if I open a file in Itunes and then change the info that there are now 2 files in the finder, one with the old info and the new with the new metadata. Why does OS-X do that?!
Also, if I have 1 gig of memory left (out of 180 or so) why does it disappear to 0 if I open photoshop? I'm used to a PC running virtual memory and CPU but why does the Mac actually take away my available memory?I'm at my wits end here, it's been driving me up the wall for weeks!
MacBook Air :: Does SSD Really Need 4GB Of Memory
Jul 8, 2009I am considering upgrading from my ~2 year old MBP to a 2.13 MBA Rev. C and have a question re: RAM performance: how does your MBA w/SSD perform once you have maxed out the 2GB of internal RAM and started swapping to the SSD?
The reason why I ask is that my current MBP had 2GB of RAM which would max out under my regular daily use (typically open is Mail, Entourage, Skype, Adium, iTunes, Keynote, Activity Monitor, and Safari with 10+ tabs open... don't ask). As you might expect, everything grinded to a halt once the MBP blew through the physical RAM and it started swapping to the HDD. A few months ago I upgraded to 4GB of RAM and everything ran smoother.
MacBook Pro :: Memory Hog - Gets Really Low
Apr 23, 2010I've noticed in the past that after a few days of use, the free memory on my 2009 MBP gets really low. I notice this because when I get bored I snoop around the activity monitor - I actually don't notice any type of sluggishness. I'm simply inquiring about this. What I've done in the past is simply just reboot my system. This seems to work, but I just restarted my system last night, left it overnight and now according to activity monitor my free memory is at 12 mb! During the screenshot, I have Firefox with two tabs opened, iChat and iTunes.

Now it says it is compatible with the 2009 but is it also compatible with the 2010 models?
