![]() I could consider a recent Macbook Air or Macbook (if they were capable of excelling with the load usage outlined). I'd seriously consider it if it was clearly the best option though. My situation is that I could stretch myself to get the new lowest spec Macbook Pro 13/14 when it is released (or really stretch myself for higher spec), but it's not the ideal option in the current environment (I am reluctant to go for lowest spec as well). Finally, I intend connecting to large external monitor at times (charts, music). I have to type a lot with study, so reluctant to use the questionable keyboards. ![]() I also study online, so have to listen/watch lectures online, while using other programs to take notes etc. I also use it for various programs with study - Word, PowerPoint, MindNode, OneNote et al, and will often have them all open at the same time. The iPad Pro is ok for the music, but feel more comfortable using a Mac for files etc. ![]() iPad Pro can do most of what I need for photography, but I have a Squarespace website that I need to use the Mac for which involves a lot of photos being downloaded, shifted around etc. ![]() I use it for some photography as well, and it slows down. With VirtualDJ, it was suffering in the same way. I would like to use it for music recording but it was unable to handle my Scarlett Solo Audio Interface - when using the audio interface, the audio would sound like a CD skipping (when playing my guitar with different effects, playback etc). I have a platform with live stock charts that are continuously running (~5 charts) and it's quite important that these are not lagging. When browsing (Chrome), I often have 35+ tabs open (plus Safari for University studies). Touch pad still malfunctions (moves sideways without touch), but I prefer an external mouse anyway, so not a big deal. ![]() At the same time, I replaced the battery and the touch pad. I upgraded some components a couple of years ago so I currently have a 256GB SSD with 4GB Ram, running High Sierra 10.13.6. Bear with with me, as I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to tech/computers (my model is good for the 16gb upgrade). I'm considering upgrading my mid-2010 MacBook Pro from 4gb RAM to 16gb RAM. ![]()

Pro tip: CrossOver will create a “bottle” where it will install Steam, its components and future games. You just need to accept whenever a dialog box appears.

Unfortunately my XBMC4Xbox "skin" folder contains about 1.5GB of skins and what this meant was that the FTP Client refuses to display any of the XBMC4Xbox folders/files in its file manager and although FTPing is possible and only the individual files copy and the folders alphabetically before "skins" folder transfer. ![]() ![]() Once I'd gone through the business of identifying all of them and adding the extensions manually they copied and FTPed perfectly.īut then I came across another problem the FTP Client apparently doesn't like copying or even displaying individual folders containing more than, I'm guessing, 1GB of data. UnleashX refused to copy them and that was the problem with the FTP Client failing the transfers too. Licence, Readme, Changelog etc were all missing their extensions ie. The cause: a significant number of plugins, scripts and even one skin some, not all, text files (not XMLs) ie. But in this case I kept on getting Error 183 again and again when I tried to copy XBMC4XBox out of Apps. In the past I've discovered this is usually caused by exceeding the sub-folder or file name limits so I usually resolve it by simply copying the folder to the root of the F:\drive rather than from within Apps folder. I kept on getting failed FTP transfers and half transfers ie. A lot of those came in zip or rar packs which I'd extracted them from on the Xbox/UnleashX dash File Manager. I was trying to copy over my main XBMC4Xbox folder to another Xbox as I've been customising it recently adding lots of skins, scripts and plugins. Probably an UnleashX config XML issue but the fact is the FTP menu options are all available but the only one that does anything on my Xbox and all UnleashX dash versions I've tried is "Reset the Network".īTW with the UnleashX/FTP Client App I found two 'quirk' new to me today. Can you explain how to enable the UnleashX built in FTP client because in the versions I've tried it does not seem to work. ![]() |
