MacBook Pro :: Can Get A 15" MBP With A 256gig SSD Direct From Apple?
Nov 23, 2010
I'm considering getting a 15" MBP with a 256gig SSD direct from Apple. I've seen a lot of the postings on the forum about the speed boost from SSD, but it seems like many posters install the drives after purchase. It also seems that many of the third-party drives are faster.I live overseas and want to get the computer while back in the U.S. for the holidays. I also want AppleCare to cover it should things go wrong. I know it's pricey, am I crazy for getting the drive directly from Apple?

Linux gets Direct X 10 and 11 support. There is also Trim support for SSD in Linux, so what is Apple doing these days I wonder.

So does anyone have some good pros & cons for purchasing the new iMac at Club Mac instead of Apple Direct?Most importantly, are there buyers out there who have had a good experience with a Club Mac purchase?

Apple has hinted at the prospect for direct printing from the iPad in its support documents for iWork apps, suggesting the feature may appear as part of iPhone OS 4.0.
Support pages for iPad's Pages, Keynote, and Numbers apps each note that "printing directly from iPad is not currently available," rather than simply stating that the apps do not print. For now, Apple directs users to send their documents to a desktop computer that can print them, either via email or using iPad's new File Sharing feature in iTunes.The ability to print via Bluetooth or WiFi may likely be part of Apple's iPhone 4.0 announcement on Thursday. Apple could avoid the need to include the massive amounts of (often buggy) printer drivers used by Windows or Mac OS X by simply supporting a limited subset of printing options.
Other details related to iPad's new hardware, its new Human Interface Guidelines, and its new feature tweaks (and curious feature omissions) will be considered in tomorrow's "In-depth review of iPad and iPhone OS 3.2."

I tried searching on macrumors and google and found mixed info on how to do this. My gf recently got a new white macbook and is needing to get her files from her pc transferred over to the macbook. There will probably be over 50 gigs of info. Could someone link me to a guide in doing this step by step in precise detail?

I have an ethernet cable. i have an alu macbook. i have an iMac. i need to transfer files between the two. tried connecting the ethernet cables. on the macbook it says "ethernet cable not plugged in"
on the iMac it says "ethernet cable not plugged in".
i know the ethernet cable works because i brought my macbook up to my router and used the ethernet cable to connect to the internet. it is Cat5 or whatever. i've tried everything static IP addresses. restarting. replugging. over and over and over. no luck. the macs just pretend there is no ethernet cable plugged in. tried DHCP. tried manually. but it works when i connect my macbook to my modem.
i've tried everything. i've googled, i've mroogled. nothing works. i spend two hours trying to work this out myself before coming here. every single webpage online just says "oh just turn on file sharing LOL then it works" not for me it doesn't. i've tried that. i've tried it over and over and over again. it doesn't work for me. still won't recognize.
i'd use wireless connection to transfer but that'd take like 20+ hours to send 60GB+ of data. too long (iMac is not at my house) are ethernet cables just fail? this is a BRAND NEW 20 inch imac and a aluminum macbook from 2008.

I created an access point from a router. My question is if I can get a faster connection to devices near to the access point with the direct connection or will a direct connection not work with an access point?
Info:
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

So I was wondering if there was a place where I could purchase and then directly download mac games, specifically Civilization IV. The only place I know of to purchase these games is the apple store, which is about 40 minutes away from me and I really don't feel like driving out there.

I'm running 10.6, and I would like to make my computer such that a friend (not on my local network) can directly download a large file from my computer. I would like to set this up in such a way that my friend will only be able to access a single directory (the Shared folder, for instance). Essentially, I want her to be able to download a file from my computer without giving her access to anything else, and without having to give out any sensitive information. I attempted to search, but as I'm not facile with the terminology, I didn't find an answer.

Direct TV On Demand requires an access point for streaming video. The simplest fix is an ethernet cable between my DSL modem and the DVR. This is not practical, as the DSL modem has only one ethernet port, and it is going into my Airport Express. (and it is several rooms away) Direct TV recommends a Cisco WET610n ethernet bridge. My problem is that the Cisco techs say there appears to be compatibility problems between the two. The Apple tech said flat out that the WET610n cannot connect downstream from the Airport Express. He said he did not know if the WET610n could connect to the Airport Extreme, which does have extra ethernet ports. I can return the WET610n. I MAY be able to return the Airport Express and upgrade to the Airport Extreme. Does any know for sure wether or not the WET610n will operate wirelessly with the Airport Extreme, which boasts true 5 ghz 802.11n capability? Does anyone have a known solution? Direct TV has given me some Geek telephone numbers, but I haven't contacted them yet.

As title - when I press shift-apple-3 I want the capture to go to a folder. Not desktop. Probably simple. But I don't know how to.

I've installed win 7 twice now, and I'm finding that when I first get it going everything works as I would expect it to. However when I load back into it my direct x 9 drivers don't seem to work. I'm not sure how to fix this. By the way have tried downloading drivers again but it doesn't work.

I've been making a website on web. I have uploaded it using cyber duck as my ftp client, and hit a problem! The website does not load under the address it should do: [URL]. But instead it will only load on: [URL]. I have spoken to my hosting company and apparently it is an issue with the html script and I should insert a HTML code redirection script.

i am using dreamweaver 8 and am making a website. On the website i have a page where people can view/download pdf directions. I have it set up so you can view the PDF directions in the browser but i want to add another button where they can directly download the PDF straight off of the site without having to right click anything or open anything.. To make it short i want to be able for the user to click text that says "Click Here" and for a PDF to automatically download to their computer.

when I get a picture in Ichat and i go to save it, it auto saves into a weird folder with a name like:
26a786fb-a3cd-4b64-8894-4ed1c716e03c
it's a different name each time i save a new pic, however, none of these folders are available in finder, and there's no directory information. Where are these hidden folders hanging out on my mac? How do I get my old pics?

I just picked up a Synology DS211 NAS and have been using my roomates' wireless router to connect to my 15" MBP unibody (OSX 10.6.5) and it's been working just fine but I need a faster connection to the NAS for the work that I do. I succesfully got the NAS to connect directly to the MBP through ethernet but I lost my wireless connection to the router.

I was running Bootcamp with Windows Vista smoothly until I decided to install Parallels 4.0 on my Mac 10.5.8. After installing Parallels, it loaded my Bootcamp installation which sort of freaked me out and so I closed Parallels without doing too much. When I booted Vista today, I tried running games that requried Direct X or enhanced graphics and they are not working! These games used to work fine before I had installed Parallels! I even tried fixing the Bootcamp installation by repairing the drivers through the installation cd that came with Leopard, but I still get the same problem!

New here and came across your wonderful site... I've googled to death this question...
I have a Jazz performance that I just filmed and put to DVD. The client wants 20 or so DVDs and I would like suggestions for a printer, software and DVD media that allows me to print directly to DVD (no sticky labels) from my 1st generation (intel chip) iMac running OS 10.4.

Firstly, everything on my Mac is updated and in good order. Other websites work fine.
What happens is that when I'm viewing my Facebook news feed and start scrolling down the page (it then automatically loads new posts) my news feed "jumps". In other words, in doesnt keep in order and it jumbles me up back to stuff I've read.
In other words, somehow, loading the new posts causes my Safari to forget where I am on the page and take me somewhere else. Has anyone else experienced this?
