MacBook :: Free Trial For Stuff Bak Included With Documentation - Missing Sticker?
Jan 7, 2009
I ordered something from RadTech for my MB and when it came, there was a free trial for Stuff Bak included with the documentation. It has a sticker that I'm supposed to place on my MB (or any device I want protected), register at their website for free [URL], and when my MB goes missing the sticker will provide whoever finds it a way to return it to me (plus $20 reward and any additional reward I might offer). Two questions: Has anybody tried this and does this service actually work? I'm kind of curious, but I'm also thinking that the reward might not be enough to deter them from just scraping the sticker off and keeping the MB...
i plan on upgrading my macbook pro 13" to a scorpio black. Should i get the version with or without the freefall sensor. I heard the sensor conflicts with the sensor built into the macbook pro and causes kernel panics.
I bought a new Macbook Pro. I wanted Pages so I downloaded a free tiral onto my laptop. The trial was soon over and so using App Store, I bought Pages. It said Pages was installed so I restarted my laptop and opened Pages. When I went to save a document, Pages said that I needed to buy Pages and that my trial was over, then it gave me an oppurtunity to put in an activation code. The App Store never gave me an activation code and still says that the new Pages has been installed.
I need to make a powerpoint presentation but don't have any Microsoft office programs whatsoever on my mac. Everywhere I have looked on the internet has Microsoft Office UPDATES available but I need the raw product.
my computer recently broke down and now i'm using my sister's boyfriend's laptop. all my school projects are in my computer and the question is that is it possible to download the 30 days free trial app on my sister's boyfriend's laptop even though i already downloaded it on my computer in the same internet connection? will it work regardless of these two computers are in the same network?
Rather than listing Office for Mac on the Mac App Store, Microsoft is offering a new 30 day free trial for the suite, something that can't be done through Apple's App Store. In contrast to smaller developers such as Pixelmator, which have embraced the new Mac App Store enthusiastically, Microsoft (along with Adobe) hasn't released any titles through the Mac App Store yet.
It has released Windows Live Messenger and Bing search apps in the iOS App Store, in addition to the new iPhone OneNote, a note taking component of Office for Windows that hasn't ever been ported to the Mac. Were Microsoft to release Office for Mac through the App Store, it would likely become a top selling title, much as iWork has on the iPad and Mac App Stores. There are some modifications Microsoft would need to make however, including not being able to install background processes, needing to be self contained, and being unable to use undocumented, private APIs....................
I have tried and it has me download Akamai Downloader Manager. Then When I open that it says that there is a Disk l/O error, I have over 80 GB of disk space, why is this happening? The other problem I had was the same thing but Network connection Error, when I had full internet
Not sure, but for some reason my mac hard drive has got to be 95% full. I know where all the things I put on my laptop are and have added them up and they do not equal up to 132 GB of space. I have deleted the Previous Systems folder which was taking up a lot of space. Where are there more mysterious locations that are taking up space that are not needed and safe to delete?
Microsoft's Mac Business Unit this week is making available to Mac users a "fully functional, no strings attached" free trial of Office 2008 so that prospective buyers and users of previous versions can 'kick the tires' on new suite before plunking down the cash for a permanent copy. The 545 megabyte download is available after a quick registration over at the Redmond-based company's MacTopia website. The registration is required to generate an trial product key that will expire 30 days thereafter. Although Office 2008 for Mac made its debut over a year ago, this is the first time Microsoft has offered customers the option of trying the software before they buy it. The trial copy will run side-by-side with earlier versions of Office and includes a year's worth of maintenance and security improvements.
"The MacBU is aware that a number of customers have wanted to try Office 2008 for Mac before purchasing, and they have been working to make this available in tandem with updates to 2008," a representative for the software giant told AppleInsider.*"Today customers can now check out Office 2008 with the fixes and performance enhancements that have been made since launch." Once the 30-day product key expires, users will have the choice to either purchase a copy of the suite from an Apple authorized reseller or buy a product key from Mactopia online and be up and running without reinstalling. Of course, Microsoft fragments the office suite into various versions like it does its Windows operating system. A "Home and Student Edition" costs $149.95, the standard version is priced at $399.95, and the Special Media Edition fetches 499.95. However, Amazon.com has these same editions listed for $111.99, $240.00, and $224.95, respectively. For a breakdown of what's included in each edition, see this article. Meanwhile, readers interested in familiarizing themselves with Office 2008 and the history of Office without downloading the software may want to check out AppleInsider's six-part series: Road to Mac Office 2008.[ View this article at AppleInsider.com ]
My OS version is 10.6.(something) (I think snow leopard).I'm reinstalling the Operating System and wondering what apps are included with the DVD (I think under ilife)?Â
I was wondering if there is such a thing as a sticker to make the white glowing Apple, black. I want the Apple to match my iMac's. I don't want it to be completely black without the glowing light though.
For many of the applications I have (including Apple applications such as Aperture, iWork, etc), I have PDFs of the User Manuals that I've downloaded from Apple or other support websites. Would there be any harm in me dropping my user manual PDFs into the package at the top level (outside the >Contents folder)? I absolutely know to be cautious about messing with items within the >Contents folder, but wondering whether there is any harm in dropping in user guides or other related reference information into the package, outside the Contents or other key program folders within the folder.
Ultimately, I'm just looking for a way to keep my documentation organized and with whatever program it corresponds to. I've found that too many times, I download program manuals and tip sheets, and then I can't find where I put them on my hard drive. Also trying to avoid having duplicates of folders (i.e., a "Photoshop" folder in my /Applications and a "Photoshop" folder in my /Documents).
I work at a University with a very "by the book" IT director. He is under the assumption that installing third-party parts (e.g. RAM, hard drives, etc) in an Apple product (such as a Mac Pro or MacBook) "voids the warranty" because this apparently is the case with some PC brands. I know this is not the case and that Apple characterizes RAM as a user-upgradable part -- as long as you don't break anything while installing it, it does NOT void your warranty (case in point: Apple even gives detailed instructions on how to upgrade).Â
However, being the stickler that he is, my IT director will not take my word for it -- he needs proof from Apple that it's okay for us to upgrade these machines ourselves. Can anyone provide a link on an Apple (or similarly reputable) site clearly stating that this is the case? Does such documentation exist?
I want to create some tutorials for my software class. I remember seeing some software for the mac that is excellent for the job. I can't remember what the name of the software is.
The software is as follows:

it was suggested to me to download 30 day iworks trial. I have done this last night but to activate it is stating: iwork installer cannot continue while the keuynote, pages or numbers application is open. Quit these applications and then open the installer again.I purchased my applepro and Pages four weeks ago. I am not sure it this means I will lose my purchased Pages.
My Final Cut Pro x trial version keeps 'unexpectedly closing' when I try to edit an effect on a clip.I just bought this macboo pro last week.. I left PCs for similar reasons..2.4 GHz Intel Core i7, 4 GB Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 .The FCP X trial was working fine.. I have 23 days left, and today it started closing unexpectadly..
I recently bought Macbook Pros for my 2 daughters and we took the 30 day iWork trial. At the end of the trial we downloaded a purchased version on to one of the Macbooks and the second one seemed to be able to download it without buying it again which was fine. However, we now have a problem in that both machines have two versions of iWork and we can't work out how to remove the trial version. This would be OK except that we are then having problems printing and saving as it keeps telling us that the trial version has expired and trying to get us to buy it again.
I clicked the little jellybean thing on the top right, and it only makes the menubar appear and disappear, but the sidebar is still gone.i don't have a little dot on the left hand side so i have nothing to drag. i checked my finder preferences and the folders are still checked.but even after all that... still no side bar.
I just experienced my first kernel panic (very scary). Fortunately I could restart the MacBook without any problems. It happened while I was watching a video online. I'm running Mac OS X version 10.6.2 and I had 5 opened apps: Safari, Firefox, Mail, iTunes and iChat (all the latest versions) I would really appreciate if somebody can interpret the log so I know if my computer has a serious problem.

Macbook Pro won't boot. Symptoms preceding failure included failure to open Firefox. When trying to cold boot I can get as far as the start-up sound, the Apple logo, and the spinning whieel (spins for a bit but not for very long) and then major failure. Not running Liom.
Info: imac 10.1, Mac OS X (10.6.2), also have macbook pro running os 10.5
So, I have just upgraded my RAM to 2GB x2 (4GB) [genuine kingston] in my 2.4 unibody MacBook, before couple days. It worked well in the first few hours, but now, applications crash for no reason at all and it won't wake up after sleep, if i turn it off then on, I get a crash report massage for the OS, here is one that I just got :

The problem is that when all I have is safari windows open, expose keeps lining them side by side instead of spreading them out. In the first pic you'll see what I mean. If I open something else along with the safari windows though, it will spread them like normal, second pic for example. I think it probably happened after one of the last updates.
Does anyone know of a Mac compatible webcam that also works well in Windows (Boot Camp), that has an adjustable zoom angle through a manual zoom ring on the lens, or included software?
I had recently purchased, then returned, a Logitech Quickcam Vision Pro for my Mac Pro. I returned it because the picture in iChat was almost pitch black (but was fine in Photo Booth), but more importantly, the zoom angle was way too wide.
