Am I stupid: spent 1050 AUS getting an antiglare display on my MacBook Pro

I couldnt stand the glare anymore. I called my local apple repairer and spent 1050 AUS for the apple original antiglare display(the silver frame one). I have to say the difference is massive as I no longer see any glares and personally I think the silver frame makes the laptop look more professional. The reason I did it is because I am planning on using my macbook for 4-5 years or even longer. So what do you guys think? good deal or purely wasted or money?

As far as I'm aware, the MyBook drives are not bus-powered and require AC power. If you want a bus-powered drive you'll have to look at heir Passport series.

    No.  ThunderBolt is a direct connection to your systems PCI Express bus.  There is no way for your existing ports to do this with any sort of external adapter.

  • How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

    How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPad but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPad with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
    also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

  • I just purchased a MacBookPro after having a MacBook.  I have ILife, IWorks and Office for Mac.  How do I get those programs on to my MacBook Pro?  I will still use my MacBook at work so I need those programs to remain on it as well.

    I just purchased a MacBookPro after having a MacBook.  I have ILife, IWorks and Office for Mac.  How do I get those programs on to my MacBook Pro?  I will still use my MacBook at work so I need those programs to remain on it as well.

    You need a Firewire cable to run between the two Macs.  Using Utility>Migration Assistant running on your new MacBook Pro, transfer what you want (with all the preferences and such) from your MacBook to your MBP.  Here's more info from Apple.
    You might have an issue with the Serial number for Office, but hopefully you have that around.
    Hope this helps.

  • Documents created on my iPhone or iPad go into iCloud with no problem.  Why can't I get the documents created on my MacBook Pro to go into iCloud?

    Documents created on my iPhone or iPad go into iCloud with no problem and I can then access those documents from any of my "toys".  However, documents created on my MacBook Pro do not go into iCloud, and as such, they are not accessable from my iPhone or iPad.  How can I get the documents created on my MacBook Pro to go into the cloud?

    Reset iCloud sync state
    On Mac:
    Close open applications
    Open a Finder window
    Choose “Go to Folder…” from the “Go” menu
    Enter “~/Library/Application Support/”
    Find the folder named “Ubiquity” and move it to the Trash
    Restart your computer

    HI how do i get the GBP sign on my macbook pro ?
    Thanks

    You hold down the Option key and type a 3 on a US standard keyboard.
    Or you open System Preferences / Keyboard, tick the Show Keyboard & Character viewers option. That will pop up a menulet in the menu bar from which you can choose the Keyboard Viewer item. In turn, that pops up a mini-floater on the screen, mimicking your keyboard and showing what characters are produced as you press any of the keys.

  • How do I get rid of viruses on my MAcBook Pro

    How do I get rid of viruses on my MAcBook Pro

    It may not be malware, a Web scam that only affects your browser, and only temporarily. There are several ways to recover.
    1. Some of those scam pages can be dismissed very easily. Press the key combination command-W to close the tab or window. A huge box will pop up. Press the return key and both the box and the page will close. If that doesn't happen, continue.
    2. Press and hold command-W. You may hear repeating alert sounds. While holding the keys, click the OK button in the popup. A different popup may appear, which you can cancel out of as usual.
    3. From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and uncheck the box marked Enable JavaScript. Leave the preferences dialog open.
    Close the malicious window or tab.
    Re-enable JavaScript and close the preferences dialog.
    4. If the Preferences menu item is grayed out, quit Safari. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. None of the windows and tabs will reopen.
    After closing the malicious page, from the menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server. Open your Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.

    If the above step doesn't solve the problem, you may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • How do I get visual basic 2010 on my macbook pro?

    How do I get visual basic 2010 on my macbook pro?

    The Mac version is called Real Studio
    That is not the same as Visual Basic.  It is similar, but not the same.  Unless something has changed in the last few years, it will not execute or create Visual Basic code.  That may or may not be important to the OP, depending on whether he actually needs VB or just a product that is similar, but is an important point he needs to be aware of.

  • Where can I get Window's software for my Macbook Pro? I'm trying to run ARCview. However, it requires Windows. I'm trying Bootcamp. but, it isn't recognising the disk that I currently have.

    Where can I get Window's software for my Macbook Pro? I'm trying to run ARCview. However, it requires Windows. I'm trying Bootcamp. but, it isn't recognising the disk that I currently have.

    Maybe because it's not a 'genuine' retail version? Many OEM versions just don't work - and I've no idea which flavor of Win7 your friend downloaded. Obviously one that Boot Camp doesn't recognize. Best to just pony up the cash for a full retail version, of some flavor - and use it. You COULD, of course, download the 14-day trial version of Parallels Desktop and see if you can install Win7 as a virtual machine... it might or might not work. Boot Camp just isn't finding the resources it needs on the copy you have - try Parallels and if that doesn't work just purchase a retail (or student discounted) version.

  • How good is macbook pro compared to 13" macbook pro retina and is the macbook pro has haswell processor and  will I get further updates if I buy macbook pro without retina

    .

    will I get further updates if I buy macbook pro without retina
    I do not know what you mean by that. Any currently produced Mac is likely to be supported for as long as every other Apple product that has ever been produced. Most Apple products are relegated to "vintage" status approximately six years after which they are discontinued by Apple, meaning that the non-Retina MBP is likely to be supported through 2020.
