Some apps cannot be projected from an iPad. I am very happy with my Macbook Air, but I have not owned the Macbook Pro. I bought mine last year and got the extra RAM and larger hard drive in the smaller model. So it runs Lion just fine. If you can afford it, it is usually good to get a little

Having shlepped my MacBook to work for many years I found that it wasn't that big a deal in a nice backpack. I used to use those computer bags with a shoulder strap but it started bothering my shoulder. I finally picked up one for cheap from Megamacs and have really liked it. Very comfortable a

While not quite the same setup my MacBook Pro charger works just fine in my wife's old little MacBook and vice versa. Main thing is that her power supply is not quite as big (physically and wattage) so it takes longer to charge up my laptop if I'm using her power supply. I would assume similar

I never used that feature but the help for iTunes says to use Time Machine to make backups of your library. I guess they decided to not reinvent the wheel and just use the backup system they already wrote elsewhere. CB On 8/15/11 1:44 AM, ezzie bueno wrote: Hello list, I hope you all had a

Hi Frank, I've only played with the trial version of Radium, but if you are using TrackPad Commander, you can navigate to the Radium icon in the Dock and double tap on the TrackPad to bring up the menu. You'll be in the search field, and can type in the station you want, and flick to the menu

Ah OK I have found that if you COMMAND TAB to Radium and open the Windows menu and down arrow to Radium you can type in a station to search for. Is there a shortcut key combo that can get me there as well? Frank -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionari

Routing input from multiple sounds cards on a Mac mini

Hello all, I would like to know if there is a means or a piece of software to take input from several USb sound cards attached to a Mac and route it to another audio device (probably another USB sound card) for output? For example if I had three USB sound cards attached, each with an audio input is

Hi Joanne, I thought about that. But when I teach I hook my MBP up to the monitor in my classroom, and use it to display material for my students. an iPad would be a lot slower when I need to type information during class. My thinking was that by the time I paired the iPad with a Bluetooth K

Hi Donna, There is a noticeable difference in sound from a macbook air to a macbook pro. But this is to be expected on a smaller machine. Sound is so poor in my opinion, headphones will come in handy a lot. Especially in noisy public environments. As far as performance, I don't think you wi
