Guest lustfortravel Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I plan to buy a mac computer in the future. aside from surfing and chatting. ano pa bang magagawa sa mac alam ko ung desktop publishing at photoshop maganda sa mac. Pero hindi pang gaming. BTW, May nakita ako sa bestbuy na apple computer na windows vista ang naka install na software hehehe. why would you want to use windows vista on a mac? the leopard is a great o/s. i'm not sure about the gaming abilities of the mac but the photo and video editing capabilities are really awesome. just my two cents.

djrs Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Photoshop sheds 32-bit husk Advantage: Windows By Paul Taylor: Thursday, 03 April 2008, 5:18 PM FOR ALL ITS professional pedigree, Photoshop hasn’t overcome one of its main limitations: the 32-bit RAM limit. Current Photoshop (and any 32-bit applications in general) can only address 4GB of RAM in Windows (and it doesn’t matter if you’ve got 64-bit Vista/XP), and amazingly, a lowly 2GB in OS X. Yes. OS X limits RAM use on a single application to 2GB. Pixel-picking on hi-res images can become quite slow when you’re working gigapixel art and run out of physical RAM, and then Photoshop automatically starts pumping out data to the hard-drive virtual memory. Now what is assuredly one of the most important hardware features in this particular line of business is set to arrive. Adobe has announced it’ll finally launch their 64-bit version of Photoshop. However, right now this will be solely for the Windows Vista platform, although the company confesses it should run on XP 64. The reason for letting Mac OS X fall behind is even more crow-flavoured: Apple hasn’t provided the 64-bit tools to allow Adobe to develop their Carbon-based app. By prioritising 64-bit development tools for Cocoa over Carbon, Apple must’ve been aware it would affect the Adobe crowd. Considering you can buy DDR2 RAM at the price of bubble gum, filling up Windoze machines with 8GB (or more, depending on the mobo) should be worth every cent on Photoshop. This will send Mac-ite masses reeling as their dreams of a high-def world digitally retouched on Apple Macs goes down the drain. Not to mention the Adobe development team that’s waiting for Apple to pull their thumbs out of their artwork. Quote Link to comment

j.r. Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Im running Leopard on my Thinkpad T60. (Dual boot with Vista) Except for the LAN, all the devices are working (WLAN, Firewire, USB, CDDrive) I'm getting minor mouse tearing with CI/QE enabled. So I just disabled it. This is a good start before getting the real one. Quote Link to comment
withoutu Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Hello MTC! Anyone having a problem with Macromedia Fireworks MX while on Leopard? The problem is, after about 5 minutes or less of creating or editing a new file, Fireworks freezes (hangs) and I have to force quit in order to stop the program. I have an iBook G4 1.33 / 512 RamOS X Leopard (10.5.2) (original version from Mac)Fireworks MX (Ver 6.0.0.273) (original version but shared serial #) Anyone else have this problem as well? ;-) Quote Link to comment

Kyle_Rayner Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Need some help here from the experts around here. I'm using a MacBook with MAC OS 10.5. I'm unable to send a file from my Nokia 3650 to the notebook via bluetooth. However, I can send pics from the notebook to my phone. They can detect each other but when I try to send a pic from my phone, it says "unable to connect." I paired the devices and I'm unable to browse the contents of the phone, the "Get" button is grayed out. I went to system preferences and enabled file sharing but it's the same thing. I've read somewhere that MAC OS has some issues with Symbian, I don't know if that's true or if they already have a resolution for it. I'm new with this notebook and OS, hope someone can help me out. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
koopahl Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 not all BT-enabled cellphones can be synced with Mac machines (apparently older versions have issues on compatibility compared to newer models) pairing through BT can be a hit-and-miss affair, but this does not seem to be a problem with the N-series nokias...
