I'll be visting a friend in USA for sometime. I was thinking of buying a Macbook Pro 15' from my companies allowances for a workstation, from US. I wanted to know if it's possible that I can get the bill in my local currency also.( Problem is that my company only refunds for bills in Rs <Indian Currency>. And Macs in India are priced way more than in US.) I know it's a long shot.
Info:
MacBook Pro
I'm about to receive a new Macbook and wanted to know how to setup the machine using the English (UK) language settings while maintaining US dates and currency settings.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am having a whole series of software disasters. Now it is with the Mac Calculator.app.I accidentally clicked 'Update rates' while Calcu;lator was doing a conversion. It jammed up and would not close. Now it works perfectly well in all its modes, and it converts lengths, weights & masses, etc., but if I enter a figure and choose Convert/Currency, nothing at all happens.
I have tried deleting all .plist files associated with Calculator. In [my name]/Library/Application Support/Calculator, there are two files: FinancialRates.plist (which I tried deleting) and FinancialRates.xml. I tried double-clicking on the second of these. Safari opened, but showed a message saying something like 'Bad request'. I suspect that this is where the problem lies.
Ok so according to my unit converter ?10 sterling is $665.579 US$ . Which would be wonderful! But its highly irritating. After playing round with it I have discovered that the problem is the lists are in a different order the left list starts with A$ and the right list starts with US$. I can get around this by selecting the currency underneath the required on on the left hand list (EG if i want sterling (?) on the left hand side I select Brunei Dollar instead) This is annoying though. So does anybody know ow to help me?
I apologise for how complicated this post may seem but its hard to put it any simpler.
Anyone uses Convert on the Dashboard? The Currency convert has been not-working on my computer for a while. I'm not sure if any others noticed the problem. Basically, it doesn't convert to the right number... It even gives me different values when I put in the same currency on both sides of the equal sign.

It's just $0.28 left and there is really nothing I can buy. My american visa is terminated so I can't buy anything with greater value that the credit I have left.

After reviewing suggestions online for removing my credit card from itunes billing the overall suggestion was to check "none " on the credit card panel in my itunes account. There is no "NONE" option.What else can I do to remove this card?

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy country (Ukraine) is not listed in Locations list. So I can't fill billing information to buy Abbyy Lingvo Dictionaries (and any other things, that I would like to buy) for my iPad2. I wrote to Apple about this issue some monthes ago, but everything stayed the same. What should I do? Throw iPad away, buy Android device and use it (and never buy Apple products anymore)? Or some other way exists?

I received billing for LION but program is locked as LOADING for almost 1 hour. No indicator to show loading progress or has loading stopped

when I try to update my billing information the software adds additional digits to my zip code. This is all fine and dandy, it matches to where I live. But my bank only uses the standard five digits and when it adds the additional digits they will not match up correctly despite the first five being matched. This causes an endless and stupidly frustrating cycle that I cannot solve. I tried to find a phone number to call and sort this out but of course that doesn't exist.

I am also a newbie to the MAC world and I am loving it. But I do have a question. At my workplace I access the internet via AirPort. I need to access files on other PC's in the office and I cannot seen to find a way. I know on my HP Laptop I was able to access other computers by clicking on network icon. As a side note I never used ethernet port on HP either.

OK, so I am completely new to mac. The last time I used a mac computer was when my family had one around 1994/1995. So, I don't know how to do completely basic things like this.
I got my macbook on Saturday, less than a week ago. Last night I bought the Sims 2 at the apple store and I asked the guy if it would run good on it. He went through all of the requirements and said that my computer surpassed all of them.
So I go to run it and it won't run and says I need to free up local disk space. Basically I'm wicked pissed right now and am worrying that something is wrong with my computer or he was lying and I can't return it. How do I free this up? Is it a big deal that I need to do this after having the computer for less than 5 days? This is the only big program I've installed so far. I've only installed basic stuff like office and my printer so I don't know how it could be out of space already.
I would like to ask about the macbook pro late 2008. I am willing to own a network local sharing server in my University so, students can upload their multimedia files and movies etc to my mac using the local network of the university connection. Student will use torrents apps to download files from the server so they log to the website which I will create and they download the tracking file then they open it and use it to download the file from the server via torrent apps. My Macbook pro is 2.4 with 4g ram and with 380G HDD I own a new macbook pro late 2009 so I will not use the old one and I will keep it online 24/7. But I don't know if I can use it or not for this purpose.
View 2 Replies View Related(I think) but here we have a NAS (Network Access Storage) that everyone can access. Anyways, on a PC you go to network under my computer (or just computer or 7 now) and in there it is listed along with the other computers on the network. That's all good. On the Mac side you can see it as well, and that's all good. Here is what I am trying to figure out; on a pc in the computer navigation bar you can type addresses. For example the drive was not popping up earlier under the "network", so I just type "//DriveName" into the bar and it opened it up as if I had clicked it.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI've created a few PHP websites on my mac mini before uploading them. I placed the website files in the 'Sites' folder of my user account and turned on 'Personal Web Sharing' in the Sharing preferences and could access them fine. All of a sudden, I can no longer access the sites through my web browser - I'm given the message that my browser cannot connect to the server. Any ideas why this might have suddenly started happening? I installed MySQL last week - would that affect it in any way?!

I've read Pondini's articles on this but I still can't work out why Time Machine isn't creating local snapshots of my machine. I have 72GB of 500GB free on my HDD which is definitely over the 10% threshold needed for local snapshots to work (I think) so I don't know why it isn't working.
