Living with only 128 GB…

By imac abuser I just got the new MacBook Pro 13″ Retina w/ 128GB. I love the MacBook however what is up with the 128GB how are you supposed to live with that and not be 75% full…
I do have the new 27″ iMac 5K with 3TB fusion drive, 32 GB of ram and 4gb of video and Quad-Core i7 4.0 ghz. That thing is a beast.
I wanted to get the new MacBook but decided besides the design it sucks so I went MacBook Pro because it has connections and things.
I thought hmmm I can get a 256GB SDXC class 10 card and slip in there for more memory. However I get the card and the slot only takes the card half way. That’s not going to work… So I’m going to send that back.
I feel like I have this great laptop that’s limited by a ***** small HD. How do we survive with a nice budget laptop that isn’t a fancy netbook???

Does this look normal?

By shenfrey
My MacBook Air mid 2011 just feels a bit sluggish when going into expose and performing other tasks. Maybe there’s something going on in the backend or maybe it’s just showing its age? I am running Mavericks by the way, Yosemite was on it but just felt too slow on my MacBook.

Recommend a good video format coverter for mac ?

By EricaV I’m running OSX 10.9.5 on my mbp and need a reliable program to convert incompatible video files (such a .mod and others) to a mac compatible format.
I mostly just need to be able to play videos, but anything that could covert to imovie would be awesome.
Please help ! I feel like it’s a crap shoot trying these random programs online- trial version doesn’t work, nickel and diming you etc. etc.
Any, all help appreciated 😀

Anyone else playing Runeblade?

By Phisherman81 I’ve was jumping in and out of Runeblade for a few days, and now I’ve gotten pretty far.
Anyone else playing? Mine is now in full cruise control and seems to be killing foes nonstop since yesterday afternoon. I’m approaching half a million coins at the moment.

Intous Small

By anrmenchaca47 Hi, I am wondering…I am interested in purchasing a small Intuos tablet for my iMac but have been reading that smaller tablets pose a greater challenge when drawing. I have a 21″ mac and want to know if the 5.8×3.6 Intuos will work fine on this size mac. Please advise. Thanks

It’s Her!

By roland.g It feels like a real life version of Her. Like Joaquin Phoenix, so many early adopters have fallen in love with their Apple Watch. Do you talk to your watch? Do you feel that connection when your watch pulses on your wrist? Does your watch know just what to tell you? Are you a little less connected to reality because you are in this new relationship with your watch?

How to physically clean my iMac?

By sultanoflondon Hi all,
I have an iMac 27″, Late 2012 version, which I haven’t cleaned properly since I bought it.
As a result, it has become very dusty, externally, on the stand, near USB ports, the lock mount and especially where the air inlet grille is, behind the screen.
On old tower PCs in the past, I have opened it up and cleaned out the dust which has accumulated in the fans, near the motherboard, etc.
I won’t open up my iMac because it is a much more complicated procedure and not with simple screwdrivers, nuts and bolts.
Also, my iMac has started to show signs of ageing in terms of lag and responsiveness, so I think that cleaning it physically would help to reduce this effect.
How do I clean my computer effectively?
Thank you!
