10.5.2 update different for MacBook and iMac?

I am sure that, when I downloaded the 10.5.2 update for my MacBook, it was only 180Mb but the download for my iMac was 343Mb. Anyone else notice the smaller file for the MacBook?

It depended on the model, my MacBook was the larger file.

Why is the Amber update different for ATT and Chin...

Why is the Amber update different for ATT and China? For Lumia 520, it could tap to unlock but, in china, this function is disappeared disappear. Could you give an expain as the matching hardware, otherwise I think it's a definately discriminatory to Chinese.

Double tap to unlock is not available for any 520, anywhere in the world. See link below. You should always check first before making allegations.

Lion designed for MacBooks and iMacs, not Mac Pros?

Seems to me that most of the major features of Lion only benefit folks using trackpads, which means mainly MacBook and iMac users. If you're a mouse-user all that built-in swiping and tapping is useless. To some degree, the same is true with Air Drop,great if you're mobile, but not so necessary otherwise. So, since I do 95% of my serious computer work on a Mac Pro, I see no benefit in upgrading to Lion. The only features that seem relevant are some of the lesser touted features like auto-save and maybe Mission Control, although that seems a bit meh to me.
Anyone care to tell me why I should invest $29 in this alleged upgrade?

I upgraded, had a look and then decided to go back to Snow Leopard. Lion was a bit buggy for a start, but like you I have a Mac Pro, and do a lot of design type work, not as a profession though. Auto save worries me, as I want full control over when I save when designing stuff. To have to go back through lots of saved versions to get to the one I want to keep would seem to me to just be creating more work for me. As I understand it, it only works in apps that are adapted to use it, so my old CS3 would not do it, but that direction worries me if I don't have control over it.
A lot of the new features can be switched off if you don't like them, which is what I did, so why upgrade? The new iCal and Address Book are horrendous looking too!!! Gaudy is the term that comes to mind. So is the full screen version of Photo Booth. Those types of apps look OK on the iPhone, but look horribly out of place on a Mac, where they have already taken all the colour out of the program window borders to leave a pale grey. I couldn't bear to look at them, and had to replace those bits of the apps with graphics of my own.
My advice is not to do anything for at least a while. It seems that an awful lot of posts in this forum are people wanting to know how to alter Apple's defaults and to switch things off. I am hoping Apple is watching and taking notice.
It seems to me that Apple has taken the success of the iPhone and iPad as its inspiration to change the Mac. I have an iPhone and I find the apps like address book that reopen where you closed them a pain. Usually I don't want that same person again, and I have to navigate back to my groups, then out again to get to the right person. It would be much simpler to always start at groups. I cannot imagine doing serious design work with my finger on an iPad. The two should remain separate entities.
This is the first upgrade that I have reverted from in 18 years as a Mac user, and the first time I am really getting worried that Apple is going off in the wrong direction - and the first time that Steve Jobs is not at the helm. I don't have a good feeling for the future.

Mail behaves differently on MacBook and iMac (both 10.5.8)

This barely rises to the level of "annoyance," but I thought I'd ask about it. Mail seems to be slightly different on my MacBook and my iMac, both running 10.5.8. When my iMac starts up, mail connects to my server and all is well. But when my MacBook restarts, mail gives me a message that it "Can't verify the identity of cedant2.abac.com" (which is my mail provider). All I have to do is click "Connect" and it works just fine. But I never even get that dialog box on my iMac.
Plus, the showing of that dialog box seems to precipitate the creation of multiple nested (empty) sub-InBoxes in my account. Again, I can delete those pretty easily, but it's so odd...
Anyone have thoughts or suggestions?

in the identity dialog expand the trust settings and there will be an option to set it to always trust that certificate. then it will never ask again.

Do I need 2 keyboards for macbook and iMac in clamshell mode?

Hi Experts, do I need 2 wireless keyboards to work with macbook pro connected to iMac in clamshell mode? or can the keyboard be switched from iMac to MacBook 'on the fly' (after activating TDM mode)?
Problem is that when I activate TDM to display the MacBook screen on the iMac (used as the display only), the wireless keyboard is still connected to the iMac and can not be found by the macbook. So in clamshell mode, i.e. with a 'closed' macbook', I do not have a keyboard...
Thanks and best regards, Chris

Hello christoph128,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To get a wireless keyboard to work with multiple computers in any situation, you would first need to unpair the keyboard with the iMac, and then pair it with the MacBook Pro. Since that's the case, it might be easier to either use a second wireless keyboard paired only with the MacBook Pro, or have a USB keyboard.

I bought my MacBook Pro in 2010. This is the first Mac I have owned and recently it is having some difficulty loading we pages, often timing out. This Mac environment is entirely different for me and I am not sure where to begin troubleshooting/clean-up.

I bought my MacBook Pro in 2010. This is the first Mac I have owned and recently it is having some difficulty loading we pages, often timing out. This Mac environment is entirely different for me and I am not sure where to begin troubleshooting and/ or clean-up. I have moderate computer skills and try not to download or access questionable material, however recently I visited the Ap Store and purchased a couple of different aps to use in record keeping and for making a flyer. I am not even sure how to remove these programs to see if it helps.
Any tips or tricks are appreciated.
Thank you!

Time to see about the PRAM battery.
By the way iOS and OS X are different systems.
iOS is the operating system for iPads, iPhones, and iPod touch.
Mac OS X is the operating system for Mac labelled computers.

Apple MagSafe Airline Adapter for MacBook and MacBook Pro

Does the Apple MagSafe Airline Adapter for MacBook and MacBook Pro work in cars to in the cigerete lighter and how does it work on a airoplane cause in airoplanes there is only a mike connection thats about it ?

This is an alternative solution that works great for me. I always carry a small and lightweight DC to AC converter with me in my case when I'm on the road. It's a Wagan Tech Smart AC 100 USB that I picked up at Costco for under 20 bucks. 100 watt capability and allows me to use all my electronics and chargers on the road. I can use it to charge the cellphone, laptop, ipod, etc.
Even includes a USB port on the side for charging USB based products and also includes the aircraft adaptor (and of course a cigarette lighter adaptor) and everything fits into a small cloth bag (included).
http://www.wagan.com/htmls/detail-2382.html
The link is for the newer 120 watt version but it looks identical otherwise. If you don't have access to Costco then check the link provided for either direct purchase or the availability of other resellers. There's a "where to buy" tab at the top of the screen. Cheers!
P.S. I just noticed that you are from the U.K. I'm sure this will still work as your MacBook charger should autoswitch down to 110v input, you'll just need to make sure you have the North American plug installed. If not, I'm sure there are similiar DC to AC adaptors available in the U.K. Hope that helps!

USB sync cable different for CDMA and GSM version phones?

I recently ordered a USB sync cable for Iphone 4S from ebay. I want to know whether the USB sync cable for Iphone 4S is different for CDMA and GSM version phones? And if they are then what are the likely consequences if they are interchanged and used inadvertantly.

All recent iDevices use the same type of connector/cable.

Power adapters for MacBook and MacBook Pro

Are Apple power adapter universal for MacBooks and MacBook Pro's manufactured over the past few years. I would like order a spare power adapter and I own three laptops all which have been purchased in the past three years. I have two MacBooks and one MacBook Pro.

Not sure what you are asking. The AC adaptors for MBs and MBPs are not the same. The former is rated at 65 watts and the latte is rated at 85 watts. The latter could be used with a MB or a MBP, but the former could not be used with a MBP. Both adaptors have the same MagSafe connector. They would work on any appropriate Intel model since 2006.

I have both a macbook and iMac. Will Ineed to purchase Lion twice for these computers?

I actually just found out another kewel thing. If you bought a mac and get the free upgrade, it lets you install it on all your macs!!!!!
Come to think of it, if FORCES you to install it on all your macs! You can't buy it again on the App Store.

That depends on what kind of "files" you're talking about and what your employer's policy is on using cloud storage.
I found dropbox and/or OneDrive work very well for keeping documents in sync between multiple machines.
