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?

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
I have a few that I would recommend and they have great price tags:
HP 17-1181NR 17-Inch Envy Notebook PC
*Intel Core i7-720QM Processor, 1.60GHz
*ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5850 Graphics with 1GB Dedicated Video Memory
*750GB (5200RPM) Hard Drive

How to fix a DVD drive that ejects all media?
I have a new HP envy 14 with Beats Audio. The DVD drive won't read any disks, after about 30 seconds it ejects it back out. The cursor on screen shows it's trying to read a disk. I've updated the drivers, tried different types of media, tried the last one that worked, nothing. It's a slot loading drive so I cant even see into it. Under properties it says it's a HP DVDRAM GS20N and under that it says SAMSUNG HM640JJ. Any ideas? I'd rather not take it back to Staples, who knows when I'll see it again, lol. Ty for any advise.How to fix a DVD drive that ejects all media?
device manager %26gt; dvd drive %26gt; uninstall everything and then reboot your computer and let windows reload the drivers
You don't fix it, you have them fix it for you. Even if you could repair it yourself you would void the warranty, and be stuck with the problem or a $$$ repair bill. The hassle of being without the laptop for a while is nothing compared with having one with a defective drive.How to fix a DVD drive that ejects all media?

Which laptop is better.....?
Ive been wanting to get a laptop but i dont want something crappythat breaks down all the time. Also, faster is better(:
I found two that i find good so far:
~ hp envy 14
%26amp;
~ dell xps 15
are these good? i havent found any reveiws on them
If you guys know any bwtter ones please let
me know. My budget is around 1000
also preferably no other dells. I dont really have good experiences with rhose because they tend to break down.
Thanks!!:DWhich laptop is better.....?
Find something that has a lot reviews... Also... with that budget look for an alienware on ebay...
Neither of those meet your criteria: " i dont want something crappythat breaks down all the time". They both have very poor quality reputations.
A computer is more than just some components shoved in a case. There is build quality, stability, and user experience which are more important then the marketing speed shown.

Dell xps 15. I hate hp. I had 2 computers (1 laptop, 1 desktop) both broke down many times. and with the first one, i called hp and the guy said Oww just a lemon. wont happen again. sure enough it does. I would say Dell for reliability and practicality.
XPS 15 is actually a good laptop, I had the late 2010 model and it was good but I sold it, and I'm waiting to receive the new 2011 model! JBL speaker is awesome!!

I found two that i find good so far:
~ hp envy 14
%26amp;
~ dell xps 15
are these good? i havent found any reveiws on them
If you guys know any bwtter ones please let
me know. My budget is around 1000
also preferably no other dells. I dont really have good experiences with rhose because they tend to break down.
Thanks!!:DWhich laptop is better.....?
Find something that has a lot reviews... Also... with that budget look for an alienware on ebay...
Neither of those meet your criteria: " i dont want something crappythat breaks down all the time". They both have very poor quality reputations.
A computer is more than just some components shoved in a case. There is build quality, stability, and user experience which are more important then the marketing speed shown.

Computer Gaming Help?
I just got Assassin's Creed Revelations last week for PC and it has worked fine on my computer with all the graphics settings maxed out. However I started it up today and it is glitching too much. I can't play it as it is. I checked my current processes and they were all normal and i had no open programs in the background. Just for experimentation, I turned all the graphics settings as low as they could go and it made no difference. I have even cleaned my HDD with CCleaner and restarted my computer. Please help!

About my computer's memory...?
About a year ago I bought an HP ENVY 14 1095, with:
4GB of DDR3@1066Mhz,
an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 with 1GB,
and an Intell i5 m520@2.4GHz.
Now, when I checked the specs it says the amount of usable RAM is 3.8GB, what I need to know is what is using the other 256MB?
Second, I want to know the EXACT amount of "Graphics" Memory and "Video" Memory I've got installed... I doubted because it says on the device specs: "Resolution: 1600x900, Total arox. Memory: 2705MB %26lt;-- What's this???
Thank you for your help, I'm a HUGE noob, please don't kill me.About my computer's memory...?
Its because most laptops that come with a dedicated graphics card, also have an integrated graphics chipset (used for power saving). And that integrated chip dedicated itself 256mb of your ram to be its video memory. Im sure you can change it in the bios to ONLY use the dedicated card, and that should release your ram.
s for the second question, i would guess its the max memory total between both graphics combined.
1600something mb for the integrated chip, and 1024mb from the card. As most integrated chips can use up to 1600 something mb of ram, which would be completely pointless though lol.
(im just giving a guess, im not exactly sure).
If you are getting 3.8 GB of usable ram from 4GB that is really good. You usually get less than that. I have 4 GB and it shows i am getting 3.78 GB of usable ram. It's just like I have a 1 TB HDD and it shows the usable amount
is 931 GB out of the total 1000 GB. The formatting etc.. uses the rest.About my computer's memory...?
The 'missing' 256MB is exactly the amount of the graphics memory. The integrated graphics controller does not have its own, it uses the system memory.
This is usually down to either memory being shared against a graphics card or a motherboard limitation that prevents 4GB of memory being accessible.
If you are running a 32bit operating system, eg standard Windows 7 or Vista then it can only see just over 3.5GB of RAM.
Run DXDIAG to see details about your graphics card memory.
i got 4 gb ram with only 3.2 usable...big deal...usable ram is always a lil less

Why does it take so long to start up my computer?
I have a fairly powerful computer (HP Envy 14) and it used to start up quite fast but now it takes 4 minutes and 25 seconds to be fully booted up. I used the software Soluto to turn off a lot of applications and delay others that would start up at boot. At that point it would take 2 minutes and 40 seconds. The next time I restarted, it took 4 minutes :S And some of that time isn't even used booting any applications (even system.exe) so I don't know why its taking so long. Any ideas on how to shorten my boot time?Why does it take so long to start up my computer?
Make sure that your system is set to NOT search for network devices and connections prior to booting, this can take an annoying amount of time depending on your system setup and network requirements. Second, download Microsofts "Autoruns". This tool will show every possible application or process that is being spawned at startup and where it is being spawned from (registry, startup folder etc). Give these two things a try first along with checking your running processes under Task Manager immediately after booting up.

Laptops Similar to XPS 15 (L502X)?
I went through several iterations of searching: mobile, medium sized and gaming laptops.
I crossed out gaming laptops as they were too heavy with their giant PSU's.
I looked at Thinkpad X1 which is very expensive for its hardware, then Thinkpad X220, a little cheaper but is kinda too small for me. Both of those options can't handle graphics really well, aka 3D modelling.
I then checked out the Thinkpads T420s/T520s, I was willing to sacrifice graphics for their durability and good given history, however at their full discount the base model, with mediocre specs, can't even compare to the next laptop I looked at.
Then I looked into medium sized, and saw Dell's XPS 15 models. Their base price is $700 which is very good considering it comes with Nvidia GT 525M which should be able to do a decent amount of 3D processing (not gaming tho), also comes with good amount of ram, HD, and i5 CPU.
The thing with XPS is, it's kinda large to carry to classes, imo. I would like to be able to carry it to classes, program and do all that kind of stuff. (I'd also like to upgrade it to a 1080p screen and possibly get a custom lid)
I currently own a bulky old Dell Inspiron 1501, and that's pretty much the borderline of size, even then it's a little heavy to carry it in my backpack.
Are there any laptops that can compete with pricing of XPS 15 given its performance and stuff?
Btw, HP Envy 14 starts at $1000 price point with similar specs, so that's kinda expensive for me.
I am willing to pay $750 - 900.
Thanks in advance!Laptops Similar to XPS 15 (L502X)?
The Asus N53SV-XE1 is a solid computer, especially for the price. I was surprised at how much a difference the new i7 made in performance compared to my old laptop's Core 2 Duo. When it overclocks, prepare to be surprised at how much this baby can do. The graphics card has handled everything I have thrown at it so far. Battery life is reasonable, I got three and a half hours when I put it in battery saving mode. Even with the processor underclocked in these settings, it is still extremely fast and can handle virus scans, email, and web surfing in short order. The screen makes HD videos and games look awesome, too.

Which HP laptop is better out of these three?
Between the DM4t Pavilion Series with an i5 intel core, the DV6t Select Edition with an i7 intel core, and the ENVY 14 Beats Edition with an i5 intel core, which is best? I tend to be online a lot, have several documents and a couple programs open at once, edit videos, and listen to music/watch movies on iTunes. Which do you think I would like better? I'm not looking for other suggestions, just which of these is the best. Thanks for the help, I appreciate it :)Which HP laptop is better out of these three?
for all that, just get the one with the most RAM (4, 6 or 8gb would be good)Which HP laptop is better out of these three?
For what you do on the computer you may like the ENVY beats audio edition. You would not for what you do know the true difference between the i5 processor and the i7 processor.

What do I need to drive 2 or 3 monitors from my laptop?
I have a shiny new HP envy 14 1050ea. I'd like to use it to drive 2/3 external monitors to create a larger single visible workspace. I *understand* that the combo of graphics card and Windows 7 should enable me to do this. The laptop has 1 HDMI port and 1 MiniDisplay Port.
The monitors are probably going to be Samsung P2450H 24-inch -ers .
Q. 1 - What adapters/leads/connectors/extra kit do I need?
Q. 2 - Is it generally considered more productive to have two larger monitors or three relatively smaller ones
Thanks for your helpWhat do I need to drive 2 or 3 monitors from my laptop?
The adapters you need depend on the monitors you get. Depending on the laptop it may or may not let you drive both the HDMI and Mini Display ports at the same time. Beware when getting monitors as well that MOST monitors don't have MiniDisplayPort connectors so you'll need a MiniDisplayPort to HDMI converter to connect using that port. Also you have to specifically shop for HDMI capable monitors if you want that, which are generally a tad bit higher priced than ones without, but not too bad.
Two larger monitors is the preferred method at my place,

Mac or Pc for college?
I'm getting a laptop for the next 4-6 years of college
Ill use it to write paper, play games like wow and shooters edit music, video and photos
Do macs come with software to edit? I wantedthe macbook pro 13 with 4 gb ram or the hp envy 14 with 6 gb ram any advice?Mac or Pc for college?
That's going to depend on your major. Some will recommend a Mac, some will recommend Windows. Talk to the department.
DrDave, very, very wrong. Kahless is actually closer to the truth than you are, Mr uber experience. Apple sells a disproportionately large number of Macs to college students. Look it up.
I use a Macbook Pro i5 to run WoW, it works great, even flawless I would say, but gets pretty warm. I heard in general it is bad on laptops to run heavy games like that, best to use desktops since they have better cooling. Unless you have to run a Windows program that isn't available for Mac I really don't see any reason to not at least consider a Mac.Mac or Pc for college?
Over 50% of all laptops sold for college use are Macs. I's suggest the 13" MacBook Pro. All MacBooks come with all the software installed: Mac OS X, iPhoto, iMovie, iDvd, iChat, Text Edit, Photo Booth, Garage Band, iTunes, and more. The MacBook line is rated higher than all Windows laptops for reliability, tech support, and customer satisfaction.
i own a hp dv6 and iMac.
Both of which I love to use but the iMac is a desktop and ALL MACS come with iLife 11 which has iMovie iTunes iPhoto stuff like they and they are a dream to edit on while on the Windows side you got windows live which is meh.
I would go to a Apple store because it is such a cool experience and try one out for yourself. Don't go to Best Buy to buy a Mac.
Good luck at college I hope my iMac can get me through college I just got in Sept.
I could write a book but I'll make it simple with my 30 plus years using computers. You want a valuable tool, get a PC. You want a toy, get a Mac.
EDIT: I don't know where clueless gets his data but 50% of the computers sold to college students are NOT Macs! Not even close. More like 8% are Macs.
i would go with mac. there is so much you can do with it. excel, powerpoint, and word. automatic dictionary with it as well. great laptop!
PC. More customizable and better for games.

Personally i want to use my laptop to replace my Custom rig but which one has the best performance? i built my custom rig under budget so now soo good :) and 3 core processor is KINDA weird. :) ThanksWhich one better. Custom Desktop or Laptop?
I have a 3 core processor. Its fantastic, because you get great performance but dont have to spend so much. Your current rig is fine rly. As for the laptop...fantastic processor, yeah, good ram, 5650 is descent card for sure. Desktops are better because they are much more upgradeable and come with less problems. Laptops are good for those on the go. Honestly, if I were you I would just upgrade my desktop a bit. Get a 5850, leave the ram, and upgrade that processor to an AMD quad core or (if your mobo supports it) a AMD six core %26lt;--------------------AMAZING processor apparently!
Performance wise, your laptop might have a slight edge, but they are pretty similar. Mobile processors don't perform as well as their desktop counterparts, and same can be said for the graphics cards.
your laptop beats your desktop by a landslide.
but as laptop is relatively delicate it's purpose varies on your use
If you are hard core gamer i recommend desktop

Get the one at amazon it has a way better graphics card which is the best thing to get for a laptop since you can upgrade ram, and hard drive if you wanted. If you get the best buy one, it wont be worth it cause games wont run as good as they would on the other from amazon.
