View 4 Replies View RelatedMacBook :: Disks Will Not Play
Apr 22, 2012The only disk my MacBook will play is the Snow Leopard start-up / restore disk. I've gone through all options I can think of to bring the thing back to life (from full software restore and SMC) but to no avail - even tried playing disks with the mac turned upside down. It takes the disk, churns away, spits it back out - whether it's a CD or DVD. Is my last and only resort a trip to the repair centre or is there another option?
Info:
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8), iPhone4
OS X :: System Re-installation Via Install Disks / Install Disks Not Present?
Nov 27, 2010I have a Macbook Pro Intel Core Duo (first generation of MacBook Pro released). I run OSX 10.6.5. My disk utility has detected a problem and says I need the install disks that came with the computer. Called apple and they said I could reboot from snow leopard or the upgrade.** Problem is that I don't have any disks with me except those that came with my brand new iMac. Can I use those to reinstall the system? Is there any other way?
**They also said that after 2007, the install disks that come with computers are keyed to that specific computer so I "might" not be able to use the disk to repair.
Additionally, and I don't know if this makes a difference but I have the airport/time capsule which backs up my computer for easy restore.

View 3 Replies View RelatedMacBook Pro :: Next Generation Of MacBooks?
Oct 23, 2010I know that there are topics asking what is going to be in the next Mac upgrade all the time, but what I wanted to ask you is more about Steve's "The next generation of MacBooks" quote.
It seems that the Back to the Mac philosophy will not apply just to the Air but will go further on the other laptops series.
I definetely see the HDD disappear from the next gen of MacBooks to give space to the SSD cards.
So far all the MacBook can get up to 500GB HDD and the Pros have also the option up to 512GB SDD.
However even if this is quite predictable I would like to know your opinion on another matter: DVDs.
Will Apple gamble on removing the DVD drive or this could be too early?
Mac :: Aluminum MacBooks And ILife
Jan 14, 2009It's been one year now that I am saving money for a MacBook. Yesterday was my birthday and I finally got enough money to buy myself a brand new Aluminum MacBook 2.4 Ghz (stock configuration) for school/home.I am REALLY excited. I just can't wait to order it online with the student discount !!!But before buying, I was just wondering : when will iLife '09 be preinstalled on the Aluminum MacBooks when you buy it online ? Is it the day they release iLife '09 a.k.a. at the end of January ? I know that you can buy iLife '09 for about 10 bucks after buying a new Mac right now, but I think I can wait until it is preinstalled on new Macs, so I wanted to know if any of you knew when it's gonna happen.

Jun 5, 2009My old man and I bought 2.4 ghz alu macbooks at the same time. We both have 2gb of ram and would both like to upgrade to 4.
Would it be possible to purchase one set of crucial sticks and then simply take the 2gb original ram from his unit and replace it into mine, utilizing both matched crucial sticks in his computer? Giving us both 4gb.
The MB's were both purchased on the same date and are identical in spec.
OS X :: Will Macbooks The 13 Inch Aluminum One Ever Be Able To Run In 64-bit?
Sep 6, 2009i bought my macbook 13 inch 2.0 core 2 duo one's about 4 month before they refreshed the line and expanded the ram and slapped pro behind it. now am hearing about the whole snow leopard not running in 64 bit at boot up on the macbooks. i know that the chip is design for 64 bit os'es and i know that the hack with 6 and the 4 key won't work on my computer. but am wondering if the macbook line will ever be able to run mac os x in 64 bit. i mean isn't 4 gb or ram the minimum you need . i know that's how it was on window 7 to run it in 64 bit. i was just thinking now i know why they upgraded the macbook line right before snow leopard. one thing i have noticed is that all the apps that are wrote for 64 bit load much quicker then 32 bit apps.so that got me thinking if apple will ever let snow leopard or above run in 64-bit on the non pro macbook? and if it could be done though an upgrade though software update or though the operating system ? what are you guys/girls thoughts on it?
View 22 Replies View RelatedOS X :: Dropping Macbooks And The Consequences?
Feb 1, 2010So we've all read people's stories about dropping macbooks and the consequences, hrrible or otherwise. None of those stories have covered what happened to me, though, so I'm looking for help here.
I dropped my macbook from a height of around six feet. Impressive, especially since there's no physical damage- at least externally. However, whenever I turn it on or wake it up, it makes a sort of choking mechanical sound, like the normal one only louder and more stuttering. It's also the exact same noise every time. This hasn't affected anything except the disc drive, which I can no longer get discs into without them getting hideously scratched. Any ideas on what might have happened/what I can do about it/how mch repairs would be?

Feb 17, 2009Do the current MacBooks, both the white polycarbonate w/NVIDIA GeForce 9400M and the aluminum (Unibody) use the same or different LCD panels?I know that the white MacBook has fluorescent back lights for the display, whereas the aluminum MacBook has LED back lights. I also know that the white MacBook has a glossy LCD display, whereas the aluminum MacBook has an even glossier glass panel over the LCD display.I understand that both MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models use better LCD display panels, but I'm not in the market for either so that's a moot point. Since I've read conflicting reports as to whether one MacBook display is better or worse than the other what I'd like to know is if the physical LCD panel used in both varieties of MacBook is the same or different?
