I'd say the $1999 model with the i7 3.4GHz upgrade is enough. Purchase RAM from a third party like OWC (http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/iMac/2011/DDR3_21.5_27), $50 for 2x2GB, $100 for 2x4GB. You could do the latter and end up with 12GB in your system and that should be plenty. I don't think you'll in anyway need 2GB of VRAM.
(I'm assuming Pro Tools has no problem with hyper-threading in the i7)
I'll have to check into Pro Tools, including whether I can transfer my Windows license to Mac, which I doubt - so I may end up going with Logic.
Excellent suggestion on the RAM - that must mean it has 4 slots, need to install in pairs and I don't waste what ships with the machine? And the i7 sounds like a good choice too.
Thanks for the advice!

I was experiencing the same message ("None of the items in this playlist can be burned to disc", even while trying to burn a regular audio CD.
The message appeared when I had the playlist selected on the left, then pressed burn.
I tried checking all the check boxes next to the songs in the list. This allowed me burn the disc.
It seems like a bug -- why wouldn't itunes just alert me that "no items were selected to burn"?

I love the white/plastic studio displays, just got a 20" about a week ago :D
but personally I think $450 is a little high for a 17"

my current ipod has a bunch of song on it that I ripped from cds (okay, and a few illegal downloads). However, that was two computers ago, so I'd have to re-rip the music, provided I still have it.
I can't seem to add the ripped stuff to my itunes on my current computer. I think it has something to do with copy rights, but it could also be b/c I don't know enough about macs.
Is there some way I can transfer those songs to my iTunes? I've heard that some people (like really smart fanboys) know how to do it.
What file type are the songs? If you were able to get the songs onto a CD, im sure you could put them into itunes.
1. Put the CD in
2. Select the CD on the sidebar in iTunes.
3. Select "import from CD"

BTW, You dont have to be a "fanboy" to google. Don't label us.

From the chart, I'd say that this statement applies to people who owned a Kindle and got the iPad as a 2nd device. Or people who got the iPad and got the cheaper 3rd gen Kindle became available, etc.
I don't think Android tablets are common enough at this time for such a significant number of people already owning more than one.

Keep it and upgrade the RAM yourself. It's much cheaper.
Do this. Check out OWC or Newegg.

I have a wall in my room that is slowly beginning to be covered by AOL CD's (and other similar junk CD's).
I just tape them up with two-sided foam tape. Makes a nice wallpaper.

LABOR has been swept away by strong swings in NSW and Queensland, leaving Australia facing a hung Parliament with both houses to be controlled by independents and a surging Greens party.
Labor and the Coalition each fell short last night of winning the majority 76 seats needed to govern in their own right and last night both sides immediately started wooing the four independents and one Green who secured seats in the House of Representatives

Could be days before we find out whats going to go down!

Hi,
so I am going to be working from home, and so will be typing away at my keyboard from 9 to 5 everyday. My current keyboard is the Apple pro but my enter key is not as smooth as I wish it to be, it seems to get stuck halfway and I will need to exert more strength to press it. Also I do not feel good typing on it. Therefore I was looking for an enjoyable keyboard. I like the feel of my powerbook keyboard, I can type fast although with errors as sometimes I press to lightly as I kind of underestimate the strength needed. I am a touch typist so I type pretty fast. I also found out about the Matias tactile pro, although I have never tried one of those mechanical keyboards, I will imagine it to be a real pleasure, especially the sound when you type fast. It will be like making music while you code. However I am worried that over long hours the tactile pro will cause my finger to ache as they seem to imply that I need more strength to type. On the other hand, the icekey should reduce aches when you type long hours as you need to use less strength.
I do know that they are both extreme ends of the range of keyboards, shallow vs deep, soft vs loud. But I can't get my hands on any of them in the shops here in the uk, and so have to rely on your kind souls who have experience with them to advise me as to which one I should go with.
Thank you very much. Sorry for my long long post. :p

just to clarify, i'm not asking for advice in if I should invest. I understand concerns that apple has hit an all time high, but I strongly believe it will only increase in the next year.
If anyone has any advice as to how I can do this that would be great.
Call your local discount broker's office- TD Ameritrade, eTrade and ask them if it's possible.

I liked the hockey puck mouse and still use one on my G4 tower.
I thought the original Pro Mouse with the adjustment on the bottom was very good, the mouse with the scroll ball on top was just awful with how quickly it would gum up.
Now I'm happy with the Magic Mouse, happy after a bought a charger and a few sets of batteries to have on hand...

Thanks for responding so quickly. No, no chance of a different document. It is a very unique magazine. I have been working on this mag since last Monday - and have opened and closed it countless times. This is really STRANGE.
I'm not using backup software. I just use the 2nd hard drive to "double back up" in case. I do this at least once a day - or if I have done major changes to a job
With the permissions thing - I did a "file info" in another totally different job folder and went to details and changed the "group" access to "read and write" (cause it wasn't letting me save things in that folder even though me being the owner it said "read and write).
I am not on a network or anything - just a stand-alone osx 10.3.3
Have done a check and it doesn't seem to have affected anything elseFiles don't just suddenly revert to previous versions. It would appear that you last edited the file in your "double back up," that your back up file replaced your working file, or that you did not save your latest work.

Winclone usually works fine if you use uncompressed DMG.
i used uncompressed DMG, but i got errors when trying to restore the partition...i don't trust Winclone anymore :-)

The decimal numbering system is the base 10 numbering system. In a decimal number, the rightmost place value is 1. Ten will be the place-value of the next place to the left. The place-value of the third place to the left will be 100, and so forth. In any numbering, the current place-value will be the base * the previous place-value. The first place is always the rightmost place, and its place-value is always 1.
An octal 213 = 3 + 8 + 128. That's a decimal 139.

That hat is one of the geekiest looking things i have ever seen.
My mom found that picture and sent it to me and laughed at me. Gotta love it.
Well, I still got the pic of Sinbad :p
but i will say... it did work as advertised. Made the picture seem much larger than it was. If you can get over the stigma, it is a great concept. And remember it won't be quite as gnarly when they have it ready for mass production.
