Any reason to not use MBP's SSD?

Is there any reason to not go with the SSD that comes with a MBP? Seems there isn't much in savings and performance over equivalent (after market) drives. I'm just wondering if it is really worth it...given Apple won't support it.

I have the more expensive variety of MacBook Air, with the small SSD drive. I have to say, I sold my previous MacBook Pro because it was too bulky to carry around all day and use in planes/trains, but I wasn't ready for the tremendous increase in startup speed I got in an otherwise weaker machine! The MBP was from last June, the 17", 2.8 GHz, 4 GB of RAM, and NVIDIA 9600M of VRAM.
Well, the allegedly weaker MacBook Air beats that MBP hands down for read times, i.e. at startup and firing up apps. All of this because of the SSD (vs. the pathetic stock 5,400 RPM HDD in the MBP).
This was a revelation, and I will, from now on, shell out the money to never again use a spin-drive in a laptop. No more sluggishness.

Any way around not using Desktop mamager?

Hi guys is there any way around not using the desktop manager?, I find it way too bloated for my slow computer, all I wanna do is transfer some mp3's to my phone.
Thanks.

Hello,
Yup -- if you've installed the Desktop Software and enabled Mass Storage Mode, then your BB should appear as another drive letter in Windows...and you can treat it just like any other USB drive.

Is there any way to not use the plugin container for firefox?

Is there any way to not use the plugin container for firefox? Ever since I updated, my firefox browser has been crashing almost every day and it always says that the plugin container crashed, but the rest of firefox freezes up as well, so I am forced to end the process itself.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins
You can set the prefs dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.* to false on the about:config page to disable the plugin-container process.
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled (currently false by default in Firefox 3.6.6)
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll (Flash)
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npctrl.dll (Silverlight)
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npqtplugin.dll (QuickTime)

Clone computers. Any reason why not?

Hi
I have an Intel Mini and I am going to buy a MacBook for travelling. Is there any reason why I could not just copy my Mini onto the MacBooks drive? Would it still be possible to use them together on a local network, given that their names etc would be identical?
Cheers!
Inte Mini, Core 2 Duo 2.16, 7200 HD Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Copying the whole drive is a bit like sandblasting a cracker. Obliterating the macbook harddrive like that will take ages, and presumably copying data back would involve copying the macbook back to the mac mini? This would mean that you could never use them at the same time because you would have you manually fudge the changes. Sounds like a recipe for disaster to me. So, no technical reason it can't be done, but lots of practical ones.
A much better way would be to get some synchronisation software (Deja Vu, Chronosync, rsyncX, or whatever) and have a 'shared' section on each drive that you can sync back and forth. Another option (and one I have implemented) is to use a Subversion repository. Check out the repository to the mini and the macbook, and you can easily resolve conflicts and take it on the move.

Technical Reason for Not Using Glass Cleaner on a Mid-2007 iMac

I have tired to use the microfiber cloth shipped with the iMac and it just does not clean the surface of the glass display. I have tried it both damp and dry. The face of the iMac is crying to be cleaned with a light glass spray and cotton cloth
I would appreciate the technical reason Apple recommends only the microfiber (or whatever) cloth that came with the iMac.
Also, how do you clean the small cloth that came with the iMac.

Use a screen cleaner with throw away micro fiber clothes. Any one of these will work.

Any reasons for not upgrading to AP2.0

Does anyone have any real complaints or reasons not to upgrade to AP2.0 from AP1.5.6?
Apart from the fact that here in the UK the upgrade isn't available until March!!
Many thanks
Mark

If you're using any kind of network storage, don't upgrade until you find another way to work. You will lose access to your libraries. AP 2.0 has the ability to identify network storage and block access to your library through error messages. It only allows the library to be on local drives.

Any way to NOT use the Windows theme?

The reason I downloaded Safari on my PC was because I loved the way it looked, and how it worked, plus the smooth text, but not it looks like Google Chrome or IE.
Is there any way to change it to the Mac look?

Yea the new changes are hard to digest for those that liked the Mac look. But I have some advice though, that made me feel more comfortable with it.
Safari Preferences > Appearance > Font Smoothing = Medium
That should make the fonts look like they did before. Also if you use Vista and think the Title bar is difficult to read, try:
Control Panel > Customize Colors > Choose Frost
(if you have a dark desktop background, this makes the tabs much more readable and Mac like :))

Is iMessage to iMessage free to any device thats not using wifi?

Is iMessage to iMessage free to any device not over wifi?
Eg. iPhone to iphone using only data off a 3G provider like Telstra or Optus or Vodafone.
Or will it still charge like an SMS ?

No, you won't get charged like you would for an SMS, but it will use your data plan, if sent over 3G. However, the data usage is miniscule.

Looking for more storage? Any reason to NOT get a classic?

Looking to upgrade to an ipod with more storage... Any benefits of getting an itouch or nano vs classic ipod? I only use it for music

More capacity than what?
If you currently have an MP3 player, that has 2Gb capacity, and you have 4GB of music, don't buy a 160GB Classic.
By all means though, consider the 16GB nano. Since you only want to use this iPod for music, why buy a Touch?
If you anticipate a massing a music collection above 16GB in the near future, then the nano won't be large enough. But you can always use Smart Playlists to limit what is on your iPod. With Smart Playlists automatically adding and removing music (according to rules you choose), it is possible for use a 16GB nano for a much larger music collection.

HT5295 Is there any way to not use the Podcast App and still listen to podcasts? This app is a substantial downgrade to listening through the music player.

The Podcast App is terrible. It can't seem to keep track to what has or has not been listened to, it randomly restarts after pauses. I never had to use the App until this last upgrade and now I'm forced to. I would like to go back to listening to podcasts through the music player. Is that possible?

Another reason for not using 4x1gb Dimms

I saw someone complaining about this on another Forum:-
The Neo2 Plantinum manual states
• Due to the South Bridge resource deployment, the system density will only be detected up to 3+ GB (not full 4GB) when each DIMM is installed with an 1GB memory module
So not only was the memory running at 333 but his system didn't "see" all 4GB.

thats more an issue with windows xp actually

Any reason a G5 Graphic card will NOT work in a Mac Pro as a second card

Should I try this? I don't see any reason why not but would like to make sure

Should I try this?
No.
It won't work.
Any reason a G5 Graphic card will NOT work
As explained, the G5 uses Open Firmware and the Mac Pro uses EFI.
The ROM of the graphics card is completely different for each of the two machines.
The cards are not interchangeable.
