Anyone know if the hard drive is as easy to change as the previous unibody?
I believe they remove the doors for access to the area, but I haven't seen shots of the back of the 13" MBP yet.
It's a new 2.26 8 core.

I have seen some 20" Aluminium iMac colour profiles but like 95% of them are for 96CA panel not 96CB (which I have). Does anybody have good colour calibration profiles for the 9C6B panel?

I've corrupted the preference panel for .Mac in my 10.4 installation. Does anyone know where I can get the .prefs app to reinstall for it so I can get that page in Preferences up again? I don't want to reinstall the whole thing!
View 1 Replies View RelatedFor anyone wanting to use their Mini Display port connector on their 4870 with a panel that has the standard size display port connector, I've found a source for a cable that works perfectly. It has the mini display port on one end and a full size display port on the other. Cost $19 bucks shipped and works like a champ. The cable is nice and compact, thinner and more flexible than my DVI cable. I'm quite pleased! ( it's the little things.... )
Here is the cable I picked up: Mini Display Port to Display Port cable
When the unibody Macbook Pros came out, I remember hearing people make a big deal about the non user-serviceable battery, or whatever. But I was using an early 2009 15" model, and I noticed that the battery was quite easy to remove- just push a button on the bottom, pop out a panel, and there it is- not screwed in or anything.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a few removable media devices such as cameras and would like to change the icon when it appears on the desktop as a drive. I figured out how to change the name so each time it comes up it has the unique name but the icon would be awesome. I tried "Get Info" but no help. I guess a follow up would be is there a place to get some slick looking icons also?

I purchased an album off of iTunes and it double-loaded the songs on my iPhone. This is annoying enough, but the doubles are faulty, with no artwork, cutting out randomly, and even crashing iTunes on my phone. I removed the songs from my library (thinking I would just re-sync and reload them after) but the faulty doubles stayed on my phone. How do I get rid of them? They're not even in my library, and they don't show on my phone when I check it in iTunes, but they're still on the phone.

I use an external, removable hard drive both as my Time Machine and for "extra storage." I would like to back up my external removable hard drive using an online storage company like Mozy or Carbonite, but am not having much luck in finding one who will backup this type of drive. Does anyone use a backup service for something like this?
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhether it is possible have a harddisk installed with Windows (say, Windows 7 or XP) and use it to boot directly on a Mac? That means, a single external removable harddisk installed with Windows which can be booted on both PC and a Mac. Is it possible to simply take a Windows installed harddrive and boot it on the Mac? And after using it on the Mac, the same Windows harddrive can be booted on a PC again?
I do understand that Parallels has Transporter, but what I do know is that it is some sort of "migration". Once "migrated", the Windows cannot be booted on a PC again. Am I right? (So, this solution won't work.) My scenario is that I use a Mac at home, but I need to boot into Windows to do some office work (of course, using my Mac). This Windows on an external harddrive must also be bootable on a PC whenever I bring to work in my office.
I am looking for clear protective skins for my 2010 Macbook Pro that I just bought.
I want the skins to be removable, not require moistening/spray solvent and not void my warranty.
Does anyone know of any?
What is the water or solvent used for anyway?
Can anyone assist me in find the promotional video that Apple did when it went to non-removable batteries? I would like to find it in a high quality format. I need it for a school presentation. I've found it on YouTube, but the quality is not that great.

I had to reconfigure iTunes, Firefox and Camino both fail to start and not to mention other applications not being able to find my/their stuff. This started happening after I updated via the Software Update app a day or two ago.

Every time I try to trash my old itunes file and access the removable HD, I cant find it from iTunes. the only thing I can get it to do is to reload (duplicate) the entire 30gb library on the HD I want it off of. Now I have 2 duplicate versions of my library, but still can't get it to keep the files on the HD.

As you can see from the info at the bottom of the post, I own the 2008 model. Now, with my hardware slowly becoming obsolete and the wear starting to show its effects, I would have to get a new laptop in the near future. However, as I discovered, all new models have batteries that cannot be removed. After 2 years of service my battery swelled and had to be replaced. That's 2 years. With a new battery, my laptop's life has been prolonged.
How long will a new laptop last? Will I really have to buy a brand new expensive computer every two years just because of a design flaw?

I remove the boot camp partition by using the disk utility. Removing the partition resulted in a gray space, that couldn't be used by the Macintosh HD partition. I tried to merge them together, but after working a while the disk utility keeps giving me an error message. I'm not very good at explaining, so take a look at the pictures below. First off i start up the disk utility: Then i rezise the Macintosh HD partition: And then i try to partionate, and after about 5 min an error message pops up: I have no clue how to solve this one.
