MacBook Pro :: Difference Between Normal And TFT Screen?
Jan 16, 2010I have myself a unibody macbook 13'' and was searching for a unibody macbook pro 13" because of the longer battery life. On an auction site I've found a company that sells a unibody macbook pro 13" with a TFT screen and a resolution of 1280 x 800.
Now I have searched on the internet, but I couldn't find anything about a TFT screen on a 13" unibody. My question is: what is the difference between a normal LED-screen and a TFT-screen. Should I go for it of is the quality much worse?
Mac Mini :: Is There Noticeable Difference Between 2 And 4 GB On The Mini Base Model
Mar 10, 2009I'm sitting here thinking I made a mistake by being cheap and just upgrading the base model to 2 GB when virtually everyone else is going for 4 GB... I do realize that this is mainly because most people choose to upgrade themselves, and then there's no point in not installing 4 GB. The thing is that I don't think I would benefit at all from having 4 instead of 2 GB of memory, since I won't be doing any "heavy" work on it whatsoever.
I might use Photoshop now and then, but that's about it, and that works just fine on my current MacBook with 2 GB ram (white 2006 model). Also, my memory usage most often shows that I have 1,2 GB of free memory, which isn't even close to "maxing" it. I've been looking for benchmarks comparing these two configurations, but I couldn't find any. I know that it's quite easy to upgrade it yourself later, but I'd rather avoid it...

Mac Mini :: Best Printer For Macs / WinPCs
Apr 10, 2012I'm new to Macs, but have used iPad & iPhone for years now.Recently I got a new Macbook Air for myself, and a Mac Mini for my kids.I have a great Canon Multifunction printer (MF4150 I think), but it is USB only (No Wireless / No Ethernet) and is wired directly to my WinPC's USB port.So, I'm in the market for a COMPLETELY wireless printer.It does NOT need to be a multifunction device.I've perfectly happy with laser only, or with a printer that is economical with the black ink.It must be easy to setup on the Mac, my Windows PC, and my iOS devices.I'm not a novice with techie stuff, but am still very new to Macs.I can take some complexity, but whatever I buy I want to have good instructions, or very easy setup.Needs are fairly basic: Primarily document printing in B&W.If I get a color printer, it would only be used for color occasionally.

Jan 6, 2011first time posting. Got a mac mini from March 09, got snow leopard on it and been running football manager 2011 on it without too many problems. However running the game on high graphic settings produces a lag/choppy gameplay, only playing it on medium gives smooth gameplay. But i've experienced poorer graphic capability installing games like EMpire at War in OS, but not in windows with bootcamp where the games can be played on the highest graphic settings without problems. Any reason for this? To try and sort it i thought i'd try and update my Nvidia drivers on the mac side of things, in the about mac pop up it says my card is a GeForce 9400 so when i try and install a driver from Nvidia with GeForce 9400m it wont install saying i dont have the hardware to support the drivers. But i cant find any info online to suggest there is two Nvidia cards with just an m difference? Even on wikipedia?

Sep 12, 2010I have an Early 2009 Mac Mini with Mini DVI and Mini DisplayPort. And I have two 1080p HDTVs. The Mac Mini is capable of dual display, and I've gotten it to work before, so the issue is not the TV or Mac. And I have tried both Mirroring and No Mirroring.
I got a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter (#5311) and a Mini-DVI to HDMI Adapter (#4852) both from MonoPrice. And for some reason I can't get the Mac Mini to dual display, it's only one or the other.
Before I had a Mini Displayport Male and USB Male AUDIO to HDMI Female Converting Adapter (#5969) and I got video on both HDTVs, but not audio at the same time b/c one was USB and one was TOSLINK.
I'm not sure why I can't get video on both monitors. Any help?
Mac Mini :: How To Conncet HDTV Using Mini Display Port Or Mini Dvi?
Apr 6, 2009I need to connect my 09' Mac Mini to my Yamaha RX-V2700 receiver which outputs to my Sony XBR HDTV. I know the mini has both mini-dvi to dvi and mini-dp to dvi or hdmi available via adapters. I was thinking to go with option 1 however I was wondering what is your opinions? Is mini-display port better over mini-dvi or are they the same? Audio will be carried over optical toslink.
Option 1:
Using mini-dvi adapter to dvi: Connect Dvi-Hdmi cable to receiver and output audio with toslink adapter.
Option 2:
Using mini-dp adapter to dvi or hdmi: Connect Dvi-Hdmi cable to receiver and output audio with toslink adapter.

View 13 Replies View RelatedOS X :: Difference Between Mac And PC?
Aug 17, 2006I am one of the many folks who use a PC and have been considering a Mac. I have read many posts on the subject of Macs vs PCs, that the Mac OS is more stable, doesn't get infected with viruses or spyware (I would assume virus/spyware writers go for the biggest target, Windows), and is ''easier'' to use.
Can someone please explain in plain english how a Mac is easier to use? I assume there are similarities like the use of file architecture and ''windows'', but why is Mac's way of running say Photoshop Elements better? Why, specifically, is the Mac OS better than Windows if you take out the virus/spyware issue? BTW, maybe I'm lucky, but in the 3 months I've been running XP, I haven't had a single crash, blue screen, or virus. Of course I'm knocking on wood!
OS X :: Mac HD Vs PC HD (Any Difference)
Feb 9, 2009I have a 12.1" ibook G4 [A1054] with a broken 2.5" IDE hard drive. I have an old IDE hard drive that was in a Gateway laptop. Is there any reason that I would not be able to install this drive in the ibook? Is there anything fundamentally different between hard drives in macs and hard drives in windows based machines?
The hard drive that was in the ibook is a 30GB and the Gateway one is a 60GB. I'm not sure if that would matter either.
If compatibility is not an issue, am I going to have any problems formatting the old Gateway HD or installing software on it?
Also, can anyone recommend a site that would be a good place to buy a 2.5" IDE hard drive in case I want to use a different one?

Jan 7, 2009Is this normal? I'm pretty sure it's not, at least the iTunes bit. I am using cover flo and I know that's supposed to increase the RAM usage but I don't even have the window open (it's in another space.) I've been seeing this high amount of RAM usage lately so I ran techtool deluxe and there was an error with the volume structure. I repaired permissions from the OS X install disk and since then the volume structure test passes but I'm still getting the unusually high numbers.
