I am going to college in the fall and they have a strict no P2P policy. I was thinking I could get around this by installing LogMeIn on my Mac at school and download torrents from there. Then I would log into my computer at home, which is on Verizon FiOS and has no limitations/bans. Would this work and if not are there any other ideas? I have an iPhone 3G so I could tether if worst comes to worst.
View 23 RepliesI was just wondering if any of you have had experience with getting a replacement from Apple.
I have a few questions about it.
I'm pretty sure I'm eligible for a replacement, since my Unibody Macbook Pro has had multiple issues and has had the logic board replaced a couple of time.
All within the same year. I do have AppleCare on it, and I'm going to request a replacement from them since going back and fourth and having nothing get fixed is not productive.
So, my questions are.
1.) Is it better to talk to them over the phone? That way I would be able to get to a higher up directly, right? Opposed to the AppleStore.
2.) Since the update is coming shortly, apparently maybe. Would apple replace/upgrade my laptop to one of the newer ones? I assume that would depend on how long they've been out, if yes.
And if so, how long after release would I need to wait to receive one of those?
3.) When doing a replacement, do they replace only the laptop itself? Or would I give them everything of mine (old box, cords, etc.) and they just give me a brand new boxed one and that's it?
Does anyone know the replacement policy if you get your MBP replaced through Applecare, is it done by price or "performance"
I have a SR 2.4 MBP 15, does anyone know whether it would be replaced by the 2.53 or 2.66 MBPs, as I am worried that the 9400M will be worse for gaming.
I just bought a 13" MBP which I know has some clever battery technology built in. I also know that the overall life of some rechargeable batteries is lengthened by ensuring they are regularly fully discharged and recharged instead of keeping them charged to a maximum at all times. Does anyone know whether the overall life of the MCP's innovative battery is maximized by adopting the same policy?

Can he use the same license (iWork came with 3 licenses) or does he loose 1? In other words, if you uninstall iWork con you install it again with the same license.

I want to upgrade to the 15 or 17 inch Macbook pros, so I was wondering if Apple has an exchange policy that can exchange my (Like-new condition, with original box) Macbook Pro and upgrade to a bigger one, of course paying some sort of fee and the difference between laptops.

I want to set up my Mac OS X Server to allow network authentication from windows clients, but I also want the users to have policies to restrict what they can do (like the workgroup manager for mac os x clients). I know that in Windows server 2003 you can set the group policy settings somewhere, but is it possible on a Mac OS X Server?

so my iMac running leopard on my college campus was forced to install this application called "Policy Key.app" This program allows me to connect to the internet for my campus, yet, as I dug through the permissions of this app, I see that there is system access, admin access, myself with access, and then...."Unknown" with read and write capabilities. Is this normal? I assume the write part must be to deactivate my internet if I am doing something illegal obviously but I must say I feel uncomfortable knowing that there is the "Unknown" user that can read and write my internet access levels.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a OD domain that I've been adding systems too, and I've just about got it dialed in. Now I'd like to enable a global password policy, and I'm curious what actually happens when I flip the switch in Server Admin > Open Directory > Settings > Policies > Passwords? If I set a "reset every 90 days" option, is that from the time the policy is enabled, or from the time the user account was created? If I set a "must have one letter" or "numeric character", etc...and the user doesn't currently have a password that matches this criteria, will they be forced to set a new password immediately, or the next time one is initiated? Basically what I'm trying to figure out is how many support tickets I'm going to have, and (almost more importantly) when.

After my macbook hard drive kindly failed on me, I ordered a new Seagate Momentus 5400.5, 320gb hard drive. I popped that sucker in this afternoon and began to start up my macbook with the OS X disc 1. Everything was going smoothly, except that it can't find the hard drive. It is recognized under my disk utility, but when I click to partition it, select options, select GUID, click 'OK', I can neither Name it 'Macintosh HD' or do anything else.
I can't proceed with anything because when it asks me to select a HD, the HD does not show up. Again, everything works except that the hard drive is not found. I pulled the hard drive out. Made sure the screws were alright. Made sure everything was all snuggly, and yet it still won't work.
I have a brand new MBP. I have a 1tb external drive with 250gb's of music. I have it attached to my mac via USB. I CANNOT GET ITUNES TO CREATE A NEW LIBRARY ON THE EXTERNAL DRIVE. I CANNOT DRAG AND DROP OR ADD FILE/FOLDER.
But get this, I hook it up to my old Dell and I can do whatever I want. I am friggin pissed that I spent all this money on Mac equip and can't get it going. You may have seen my other post where I posed my issue of: 1tb ethernet drive hooked to airport extreme. Above mentioned 1tb hooked up to back of it via usb. I am completely unable to copy, move, or add files using my mac. But guess what. my pc handles it easily and quickly.
Restored my HD this AM from a TM backup and am experiencing a lot of problems which include (1) Safari and iPhoto crash upon launch, (2) Mail launches but crashes when I attempt to access an email, (3) I have several "offline images" in my Aperture Library and any attempt to access metadata results in a crash.

I am having an issue with an iMac G4 12� laptop. Mac operating system will not load properly, and a whirring and clicking noise occurs internally. Upon turning the computer on, after a pause, the screen indicating the Mac logo appears along with the pinwheel icon- this is then interrupted and the screen turns blue-grey and remains blank, with the pinwheel icon occasionally becoming visible before disappearing again. Internal clicking and whirring occurs throughout this sequence. Operating system never loads and the desktop never appears. This is not due to any handling mishap, i.e. dropping, slamming shut or any other contact damage. Any info or advice would be really helpful.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am unable to access the "802.1X" tab in "Network Preferences". When I click on it, the tab turns grey, but no menu pops up. I tried doing a Safe Boot and changing settings there, but when I tried to save settings, the "Network Preferences" shuts down abruptly.
I did not have this problem until I tried to connect to a University Network, which has WPA2 Enterprise security and the need to create a new user profile in this "802.1X" tab to access the internet (ridiculous, isn't it?).
There appears to be a problem with my NAT? I am not sure of the problem exactly, as I never had it with the less complicated modem/router. Essentially it slows down the network considerably meaning that I can not use airtunes as the music keeps stopping and starting and nor can I connect to the internet with the xbox.
View 4 Replies View RelatedThis is my first post with my new Macbook PRO I just recently received, the reason I am posting this is because the new Macbook PROs are pretty tough I believe.
Every since I got my Macbook I tried my hardest to keep it nice but last night about made me cry when I sat my Macbook PRO on the edge of my bed then my girlfriend 'who is isn't light' came down and sat right on it...
After I saw it under her I went and grabbed it, turn it on, and surprisingly everything still works and operates properly.
I have a MacBook Pro OSX 10.6.5, and I have a problem with the slot sd card.
It always worked properly, but now it doesn't work anymore.
The card doesn't mount on desktop! I don't know why! I also tried another sd card but it doesn't work as well.
I got a powerbook .
1 I was told that it worked but had pixel damage and that when it ran on the battery the screen flickered a bit
2 When I went to pick it up today the guy said that he tried to turn it on to reformatt the HD before I took it but it wouldn't turn on at all.
So what I got is
Powerbook G4 512mb + ?? mb I know there is 2 in there just specs on a sticker on one that I can see
60gb HD
15'' screen
What could the prob be?
What can I do? I tried the reset and PRAM thing ... nothing not sure I did it right though
Logic board
CMOS battery
Ive heard conflicing statments that the raid is software/hardware. anyone know for sure what it is (Im not talking about that card you can buy).
If it is software raid does this take a toll on the processors? is it serious or does it not matter at all.
IF it does matter. should I buy a exteran raid card? is there a mac compatible one. I just need basic raid0.
I just bought 2 samsung spinpoint F1 750s in anticipation of my new mac. But just want to make sure that raid is a wise decision.
for those who are thinking about replying about the dangers of raid. I know. I have time machine. if the raid goes down then so be it. such is life. I will have backups.
My DSL speed hasn't changed in the 1 min it took to download, install, and restart. Safari 3 seems twice as fast as the older version on my MP.

The PC has no trouble ever seeing the Mac.

The problem is the same even when i change the workgroup name in osx under the wins tab in the network settings.
So on my boot drive, there is no option to uncheck the Ignore ownership on this volume because, well, it's not there. I'm running the latest version of OS X. How do I fix this? I've searched around and found similar threads dating back to the Tiger days but nothing that fixed anything for me.
