I just wanted to let others know that running XP in the Mac is a cake walk. I ran the BootCamp, through in my XP CD and within 30 mins. had it running on the MacBook Pro. Now I can run some of my windows apps when I really need them. I still favor OSX but at least I have the option of XP...

I can't get my new Mac Book Pro to sleep. I choose sleep from the Apple menu and it goes to sleep. Seconds later it wakes right back up. It is a pain to shut it down completly. I have 10.4.7 and a 20" studio display, 2 firewire drives and external mouse/keyboard connected. I tried...

I don't know what random and sequential writes are but these are descent I/O speeds for video work right?

Photoshops (PPC) Aperature (universal) Final Cut 4.5 (PPC) Even the latest Final Cut Studio 5 is (PPC) explains why the rendering times are no quicker

Thanks Mikuro I will try that. I knew there must be an easy way like that.

Here are the programs I am running. They don't seem that fast on this new Mac Book Pro. Photoshop 7, CS, CS2 Aperature Fincal Cut HD 4.5 Do I need to wait for the new releases down the road for them to speed up?

Good info thanks fryke

I have a MBPro with two external firewire drives. Records DV footage fine but I am getting dropped frames when outputing back to the deck. Any way in OSX to test the HD speeds to see if that is the cause? Is there something built-in to OSX or a program to download? thanks

What do you know. I come back later today and it reached 100 % after several days of being plugged in. I guess it is possible but takes a really really long time. How do you recondition a battery?

Ah yes that was the trick. Works great now.

Buy a line-in adapter which will allow you to adjust the volume of the signal to match the other soruces of your car. Best Buy, Audio Express, they should have them.

"Long time reader, first time caller" no really I have read a lot of the post on Unix but can't say I understand much at all of what you guys are talking about. I have been a Mac user for 15 years. Utilizing it for video editing mostly. Coding and programming intrique me but I know nothing...

thanks will do

4 drives? wow Ya I agree they seem to fill up fast. I have about 740 gb total. I have 3 other drives out of the enclosures that I use to back those up incase they fail. The problem is a shoot too many photos and have little time to edit out the bad ones so I just save them all. You never know...

Decided to get two of CompUsa's firewire enclosures for $60 a piece and a 500 gb maxtor drive for one of them. Works well for the Mac Book pro so far. Allows you to capture DV firewire video while connected and daisy chain them together.

My new Mac Book Pro doesn't ever reach 100%. The battery is stuck at 95%. I think it hit 100 a few times the first day I got it. It has been a week now and I have it plugged in constantly. But I never see it reach 100 anymore. Is this somthing that foreshadows a battery problem? Does the...

thanks bobw for the link

My older final cut pro 3.0 no longer works on my new Intel computer. So I bought the new one (FC HD version 4.5). After installin it, it says I am missing and AGP graphics card? Does that mean it won't work on my Mac Book Pro? Anyway to make it work? I can't figure out the graphics requirements...

I need to buy 3 hard drive enclosures to link to my Mac Book Pro. What options, features, stats, should I look for? Are there any that are more quiet than others. Willing to spend about $50 a piece. Thanks

I took out the RAM, and processor and put them back in but it does the same thing. I found this article that sounds like my problem but I don't know where to find Jumper block J25? http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=95054
