  • So I've been trying to pre-order for in store pickup all day and I think it may have finally gone through. After the Eligibility check I was taken to the screen where you click on the retail store that you want to pick up at. However, I had an…
  • I didn't mean to sound like I thought it was a replacement for the iPhone just hints at where the design and technology will likely lead for the next iPad. Quote: Originally Posted by stevegmu Not really sure how an iPhone can replace iPad, th…
  • Your battery and indicator probably needs to be calibrated. There is info on the apple support site but basically, you let it completely die, then you let it sit for at least 2 hours, then you plug it in again and let it charge completely. I think…
  • I just returned my magic mouse. I tried it out in the store before buying and didn't have any trouble with it, very intuitive and performed just as expected. However, after a few days of using it my hand really started to cramp up. I have average…
  • Since you are looking for a desktop replacement system, will you be using an external monitor and how frequently will you be using the battery? I think you got all the differences between the 15 and 17. Only thing I can add is the 17'' has bet…
  • I'm loving the 17'' Anti-Glare. My wife has a 15'' MBP so I've had a lot of real world usage with both. Yes the 17'' is bigger but for a 17'' laptop the difference is so small you don't even realize it after the first day using the 17''. The bat…
  • Well Said Dave! I must say its refreshing to see this reasoned perspective on things. I agree with you also that Apple does tend to take a prudent approach to what hardware they adopt. Prudence is a trait I wish our current administration would…
  • Just adding my 2 cents in. I installed the Seagate 7200.4 drive without the motion sensor in my 2.53 GHz MBP and have had none of these problems. The only issue I have had is during the initial boot sequence. It takes longer for the Apple logo …
  • For what its worth here are my XBench Disk Results that I just ran on my 2.53 unibody Macbook Pro with the 500 GB Momentus. Maybe you can find some of the 320 GB results somewhere for comparison: Results\t56.29\t \tSystem Info\t\t \t\tXbench V…
  • All you have to do is share the printer from the System Preferences. As long as your macbook is on the same wireless network as your iMac you should be able to add the shared printer to your macbook. Whenever your iMac is turned on you'll be a…
  • Glad it worked out! I can't believe that Apple Support didn't tell you how to select a start-up partition.
  • I think the EFI doesn't know where your OS X partition is. I would boot from your OS X Install disc by holding down the Option Button during boot up and then from the Tools Menu (I might be mistaken about the name) open the Start Up Disk Applicat…
  • Try running Disk Utility from the OS X installation disc. Your keyboard should work there.
  • Anyone notice that the Anti-Glare 17'' MBP doesn't have the black border? http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/features-17inch.html Click the enlarged image under graphics in full force Awesome!

  • Kevzaz, I'll be sure to post any negative or positive experience I have with it. I do not see this slipping off the display. I had to reset a portion of the film since I had some air bubbles and it was not easy to peel the film from the corner of…
  • Marvin, your right the glossy vs matte debate really boils down to personal preference. The glossy looks outstanding in the right lighting conditions (i.e. no lighting!). The vast majority of the time I use the computer in lit rooms so the anti-gl…
  • I'm disappointed that the podcast download doesn't just sync the podcasts you are subscribed to in itunes. There is a podcast I regularly listen to that is not on itunes but I still subscribe to the RSS feed through itunes to make updates just as e…
  • Do you happen to have any MS Office apps running? I have Office 2004 on my new macbook pro and found that excel and word sometimes hangs. One time I closed the lid, it took a minute or two for it to go to sleep. Finally it did, I put the computer…
