    4k Video Editing, What Do You Suggest?

    Hi guys. I just moved up from 1080p to editing 4k video and my setup is suffering. I can't playback the native files on quicktime without severe choppiness. Once they are imported into Premier Pro CC it is better but not great. I have a feeling it is the hard drive speed? What do I need to do...

    How can you read and process long web forum post

    Here is an interesting one for you: I need to read through 200-300 page web forums to gather info on a topic. It is slow and confusing to click page by page. Is there a faster way? Is there a way to put all 200 web pages into a PDF quickly? For example what if you needed to read...

    Maybe you guys can solve this wifi question?

    It's huge compared to any other wifi unit I've owned. But I usually hide it in the cabinet anyway. Now, I have to figure out how to use this USB network drive feature and time machine :)

    Maybe you guys can solve this wifi question?

    Yes, PROBLEM RESOLVED. Thanks for everyone's input. The KEY was upgrading to a "true" 5 MHZ wifi device/router. All that talk of N features is useless unless it is broadcasting at 5mhz. I am now seeing 54mbps consistantly on my IMac and 42mbps on my IPhone5. So don't trust whatever Mbps...

    Maybe you guys can solve this wifi question?

    Yep, two different NetGear wireless routers. Both MacBook, and IMac have slow wifi speeds. So, it's not the computers. Only one other person on channel 7, with a very weak signal. So, can't imagine it's congestion. If you know if a better wireless router to try, I happy to give it a shot...

    Maybe you guys can solve this wifi question?

    Grrrr..ok. I thought it was a true 5mhz N router. I can return it. Do you have an N router that you would suggest for less then $100? I like the usb network drive option. OK, I will scan for a less used channel and try that meanwhile. And compare the results. Yes, I'm sure that is my network...

    Maybe you guys can solve this wifi question?

    Ok DeltaMac and Satcomer, I read your suggestions over and over. My IMac is only 20 feet away, through one thin wall in a wood cabinet. Even when I put my IPhone5 right next to the wireless, I still get the same 10-15mbps. So, I bought a new NetGear N (WNR3500L N300 Gigabit Wireless Router)...

    Maybe you guys can solve this wifi question?

    Hey guys, trying to troubleshoot my wifi internet speed. I upgraded to a DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem to increase speed. Via ethernet it went from 10 mbps > 53 mbps instantly. Unfortunately the wifi speed is still is the same. I don't have access to cable by my computer otherwise I would just run...

    Anything I can do about this?

    Thanks guys for your advice. I really do appreciate it. I have called tons of tech support people and the apple store and no one has explained it to me this way. But it all makes sense. I will upgrade all my devices to the highest possible encryption. Sounds like that will fix the majority of...

    Anything I can do about this?

    Thanks DeltaMac for the info. I didn't know these electronic devices fail over time. I figured there were no moving parts to fail. I will update the firmware right now. The reason I haven't tried the more secure connections is because I tried one time and had a heck of a time getting all...

    Anything I can do about this?

    I keep loosing my connection to my wireless router after a few days. I come home and my MBP isn't connected to the router via airport. When I re-select the network on the airport icon it tries, then says "connection timed out". I unplug the Netgear WGT624v4 wireless router for 10 secs...

    Move OSX from Failing HD possible?

    Hi friends. I have a brand new MBPro15. The SMART status says I have a failing 7,200 RPM HD. Apple sent me a DIY for replacement. I am unable to run time machine for a backup. It receives and error each time. Most likely due to the failing HD. I was able to get all my important files backup...

    IWEB web address forwarding??

    I currently have my website www.SFBayCam.com linked to my IWEB site (http://web.me.com/airtahoe/San_Francisco_Bay_Camera/SanFranciscoBayCamera.html) It is more of a forwarding setup if that makes sense. But how do I make it say SFBayCam in the URL at all times as user click through my...

    How to Clean MacBook Pro Mouse Button?

    I accidentaly spilled a small amount of orange juice on my track pad. Just a tiny bit and it dripped into the main mouse button. Now each time I click the button I get an annoying stick out of it on just one side. It doesn't interfere with the operation of it, but just makes a really weird and...

    MacBook Pro RAM

    Thanks nigeek. You are right, a lot of my apps are the older versions and not universal (Photoshop CS, FCP, Microsoft word, etc.) I wish I had the cash to buy all the newest apps but that is a lot of cash :) I guess I will just live with it for now.
