So I bought the Macbook Pro primarily to use with Pro Tools 8, since I've never heard anything bad about running PT with Mac. However, I'm deployed with the US military and don't have the installation disc for the Mbox 2 so I've had to find other things to do with the Mac. When I got here I had a cheap Toshiba that did just fine for what i used it for (internet pretty much). now they have a free internet service which is really slow and one thats a little faster (Watinaya) that you have to pay for. both networks show up, however I CANNOT connect to the Watinaya that I paid for. It says I have connected but when I upload Safari, it says I have no internet. I've done everything I can through Help and other suggestions over the internet and still cannot figure out how I'm having this problem with a 1700$ computer when my other 600$ computer managed fine without a question.
Another thing I've noticed is that it won't play my video files at all. They're mostly .mpg files which Mac says it can play just fine in the Help section, but claims it's not a video file when i try to open it. once again the Toshiba can play these files without a problem. Do i have to convert everything i have on my external hard drive just to work them? It also seems to take awhile to show any files when i click on the external hard drive.
I'm really trying to like the Mac Book Pro, but so far haven't been loving it. any suggestions? thanks
