IPhone 4: Mac -> PC help?

Currently I have my iPhone synced to my family's Mac ( OS X 10.6.4), but I'm going off to college, and I just bought the HP ENVY 14 (windows 7 home premium). I want to sync it to the HP ENVY, but I dont want to lose all my contacts, app, songs, ect. Is there a way for me to make the switch without losing everything?



Also, I wont have my PC until I am actually at college, so iTunes Home Sharing won't workIPhone 4: Mac -%26gt; PC help?
the only way to do it is going to be impossible. you would have to transfer them to your mac and then transfer them to your winpc via thumb drive or fat32 hard drive.

Which 13-14inch laptop with i-series is best out there?

First of all, my initial budget is just around the area of a Dell Inspiron 1464 (which is about 800 usd).



I'm prioritizing with one that is very good for multitasking, one that doesn't crash or lag as much, and one that has long battery life



bonuses are:



Good for editing and storing videos

Nice audio and video quality

and stylish and handy



I'm planning to buy next week and I've spent the past weeks jumping from one laptop to another. I'm really stuck with a delimma here, maybe you guys can help.



Laptops I've considered:



Macbook Pro 13" --- too pricey

HP envy 14 --- I've heard that the quality isn't that good? And also a bit pricey

Dell Inspiron 1464 --- I've heard bad stuff about Dell products

Lenovo G460 ---- so far what I'm considering because its affordable and everything I'm looking for is there. But I'm really uneducated with Lenovo products, and I'm afraid that it being a bit too affordable may have a catch on such a good selling...



Help anyone? Thanks in advance.Which 13-14inch laptop with i-series is best out there?

Need a good high performance laptop for multimedia and video editing?

I know about the tons of people asking this very thing, but I could really use some help. Im not a complete noob when it comes to computer stuff, but am one when it comes to buying a laptop. This will be my first laptop and I'm the type who wants her stuff to last aslong as possible. So would like a laptop that can last me a good couple of years.



Ok, so about the requirements. The stuff I know people would ask me first would be brand, budget, screen size and what I need to do on it



I dont have a confirmed budget now so any prices are ok. Brand: I have a thing for hp but I guess any brand is ok, no apple mac stuff though. The system better not be vista, dont think I needed to say that but anyway, no vista!

What I want it for is multimedia and video editing purposes. I dont think it necessary to mention it being all hd, considering its turning into a norm now. I know people recommend a larger screen for this but Im ok with a small screen, infact i'd prefer it because of the portability. I plan to plug it in to an external screen if i need a large screen, with wireless keyboard and mouse (I hate the touchpad thing on laptops, mouse all the way!). I would probably also do some gaming on it. Wouldnt mind any of that 3d stuff, totally want a blu ray drive tho. Would really love a quad core processor, altho if any of ya know a better option, im all ears.



I was almost about to consider the hp tm2t but the gaming dsnt seem good on it. Also checked out the ENVY 14 beats edition (which sounds real good for its size and with the 3d enabled stuff), but many complaints (too good to be true? lol). If any of ya own it do tell about it, and any better options, from tm2t ya can guess how small a screen im happy with, and the tablet thing being an advantage for the student life.



i have been chacking out a number of things, but like a said, noob. Also I think it better to get advice from people who are customers and can tell about the laptops they own and why they good. Is hp a good idea? and if you have better options maybe ya could send a link with the configs and anythng else?



I think I've written all I need to, incase anything missing, lemme know I'll definitely update the question based on anything missing.



Will apreciate any help ya can give me. ^_^Need a good high performance laptop for multimedia and video editing?

DO NOT get a Mac computer. I don't even know if this is relevant to your question, but I'm telling you they're WAY overrated. Everyone thinks they're sooooo cool and all that and blah blah blah but I'm telling you they really are AWFUL. All they really have is a good screen. Everything else sucks

Sony VAIO SA review...?

Hi I was wondering if anyone used this laptop:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as鈥?/a>



since I am considering buying it because it is portable, powerful and has a matte screen.

Then only bad thing I've heard so far is that the hinge feels alittle weak.



Other laptops that I have considered include Envy 14 2020NR and HP Elitebook 14", they're all under $1000-900



Thanks in advance.

    HP envy has the better screen, and included features (photoshop, elemtns, bluetooth, and mini display port, etc. The battery should also have a better running time being an 8 cell.

    The Lenovo has the better brute force though, a much better processor and more Ram (although 8gb is overkill, 4gb is sufficient for today), which is the foundation for a computer.

    personally they are both good. I prefer HP's computers and Laptops as all mine have lasted. Lenovo I don't know much about. The Lenovo in this case is more future proof however with the better processor. If you could upgrade to a good quad core for the HP I would go with the HP bar none.

    Also be sure the HP has 64 bit Windows 7, as 32 bit begining to phase out today in time.Which laptop is the better deal for the money?
    Lenovo Ideapad Y470 For sure... don't get the 32-bit computer, because they are becoming out of date, and eventually some programs won't work on them, and they will become really slow...

    Should I get a Macbook Pro?

    Hi. I've been debating getting a new laptop for a while now, and I've narrowed it down to two options: the new Macbook Pro 13" or the HP Envy 14. I'm not so worried about getting a new PC, but I'm having doubts about switching to Apple after being a long-time PC-user. If I do get a Macbook it'll mainly be used for documents, Power Point presentations, photography, and everyday web browsing, e-mailing etc. I'm probably going to take this laptop with me to college, so keep that in mind. One question I would like to have answered is: are programs such as Picasa able to be installed on a Macbook? Explain to me literally almost everything about these laptops coming from an actual user. Am I going to have problems configuring documents to be able to be shown on PC's, are there any major changes that I'm going to have to get used to, etc. Also list the pros and cons of switching. Thank you so much.Should I get a Macbook Pro?
    Personally, I find the Mac operating system much more user-friendly and simplistic. However, it's very powerful. Pretty much anything you can do with a PC, you can do with a Mac. Yes, Picasa is available for the Mac (just go to picasa.google.com). You will have Firefox (no Internet Explorer, IE is for Windows/Microsoft only) or Safari or Chrome available, you will have iTunes, iChat (AIM, Yahoo Messenger, Google, etc. client built-into one), as well as being able to buy Microsoft Office for Mac (2011). With this, your files will be saved as .docx or .pptx or .xlsx, which can be opened using Microsoft Office for Windows. Essentially, the Macintosh operating system has slowly become mainstream, so you won't have much trouble with compatibility. Best way to see if you like it or not is to go to an Apple Retail store or local Best Buy or Media Center and check it out.

    Just as a side note, you can install both Windows 7 (or Vista or XP) AND Mac OS X Lion (10.7) side by side using Bootcamp. There is also software such as OpenBox (free) or VmWare Fusion or Parallels Desktop that can run a virtual copy of Windows (or essentially any other operating system). For the $999 you spend on the Envy, add $400 more and you will get the ability to run two OS's on one computer. Plus, the computer is good for an overall user (casual video editing, web browsing, music, etc).
    Yup, I'd go Mac. It's really easy to set up, and you can get used to it quickly! Programs are easily compatible and Apple's support is wonderful! On a side note, if you do get a Mac, choose to get the AppleCare before your one year warranty is over. It'll pay for itself if something goes wrong.

    What is the difference between a dual core i5 and a dual core i7 processor?

    I am looking for a good light weight laptop for college next year and i have my eyes set on the Sony VAIO S series (or the ENVY 14 if it ever gets sandybridge). My question is about what kind of performance I could expect from the S series, mainly its new i7 and AMD 6630m graphics.What is the difference between a dual core i5 and a dual core i7 processor?
    No such thing as a dual-core i7. Only quad-core i7's. Did you mean i5 quad VS. i7 quad? If you meant that, then cache size and hyperthreading is the primary difference between the two.

    EDIT: Ahh ok, makes sense then. I'm honestly not that familiar with the new mobile Sandy Bridge i7's, just the desktop ones. But according to the link, it features hyperthreading (virtual cores). And i5's don't support hyperthreading by default. So I'm going to guess that that's the difference... still.What is the difference between a dual core i5 and a dual core i7 processor?
    I7 is faster then i5 Processor
