Anyone with a "Week 13"?

Anyone got their hands on the 13 week MBP?
If not, does anyone know when it's time for a 13?
When did people get their week 12 builds?

Hi
I don't mean to sound stupid, but how do you know
which week your macbook pro is? All I see on the
apple store web site is that it says "now Shipping"
and thats all as to which week it is.
Thanks for the update.
It's in your serial, it should look something like this:
W86XXzzzz
W8-Shanghai
6-2006
XX-your week build

How to increase your battery health - anyone with similar experiences?

this is my very own self made instruction of "how to increase your battery health"
it is the procedure how i have done it serverall times on my powerbook g4 12".
my stats: 374 cycles, health 86% (3790 of 4400mAh)
age of my mac: 57month (battery bit newer)
**if you to try this: it is on your own risk!**
**this may not be suitable for mac newbies**
**be sure to read this twice before you do it once!**
you will need:
-a pocket lamp or comparable light (to see anything on your sreen when it is dark --> light from the back through apple logo)
-coconutbattery (coconut-flavour.com/coconutbattery) or comparable programm to track your battery information in realtime
-activity monitor
-cool enviroment (to ensure your fans don't have to work that much)
-some time and patience
the intructions:
step1: load your mac until the orange light turns green
step2: disconnect the power adapter
step3: use your mac until 15-25% battery life (track this information in your menu bar)
step4: slow down your activities. the order of the following actions depend on your usage of your mac:
__close programms that use lots of cpu/gpu to ensure the fans slow down to 0rpm (!!)
__turn off everything that needs battery power: airport / bluetooth / speakers / etc.
__eject dvd or cd
__close all programms with important data
__eject idisk / .dmg files in your finder (this is not only a matter of data security)
__dissonnected from peripherals such as ethernet / internet / mouse / keyboard
__use lower brightness level
__open activity monitor to ensure that your hard drive activity is very low, may be you need to close more active programms, close activity monitor when hard drive activity is very low
__open system preferences >> energy saver preferences >> choose longest battery life
when your are ready with those actions go on and ensure you are able to connect to power adapter with your mac quickly (be able to charge - don't do it yet!)
step5: be patient. now it should take some time until your battery level goes down to 3-5%
now there should be no programm running.
do not open any programm now!
do not have a look at your dashboard!
now your mac should be really quiet:
-no fans (0rpm!)
-nearly no hard drive activity!!
-->> if this not the case break go on with step 11&12, try again in a week or two
-->> if you are ready go on with step6
step6: open coconutbattery und use the lowest brightness level
play with your trackpad to ensure your screensaver won't start. waste time until you are at 1-2% battery life.
step7: take your lamp and spot through the transperent apple logo, position your coconut battery window somehow that you can see the current battery charge und the maxium battery charge in the spot of your lamp through the apple logo.
step8: go from the lowest brightness level to the level under the lowest brightness level (a dark screen)
step9: watch your current battery charge carefully und keep on playing with your trackpad to ensure your screensaver won't start.
step10: there is kind of battery buffer made of approximately 1% (once when my "current battery charge" was 3624mAh and this kind of buffer was at 36mAh)
to empty this kind of battery buffer takes much longer as you might expect!
when your current battery charge turns under this kind of battery buffer, your maximum battery charge should change. hopefully it is higher or stays the same. when it is lower now: i'm sorry - i have warned you. may be you have to go through this 'how to' more carefully!?
step11: plug in your power adapter before the battery is cero!
step12: load until the orange light turns green
step13: if it was helpful do not repeat it more than once a week, better once a month

anyone with similar experiences about increasing battery health!?
(yes, i'm sorry for my poor english, i've tried my best)

Me too! My battery lasts for 10 minutes. It is awful and I am on my 4th power adapter since they keep breaking too.
From coconut battery: Maximum battery charge 310mah, original 4400, age of mac 45 months, 140 cycles.
From system profile:
Battery Installed: Yes
First low level warning: No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 310
Remaining Capacity (mAh): 213
Amperage (mA): -1205
Voltage (mV): 11557

I went to an apple authorized retailer and they said nothing I can do if it is out of warranty.. is this true?

'Genius' related question for anyone with over 1.2TB of music?

Anyone out there with a iTunes library with over 1.2TB of music?
Reason I ask, is that I've not been able to solve a problem in updating Genuis - I'm getting the error - 'Genius results can't be updated right now. There is not enough memory available ~ Please try again later.' or the 'unknown 4002 error'. The steps I've taken to try and correct sometime back can be found in https://discussions.apple.com/message/12584815#12584815 and also shown here in sequence below.
I keep thinking this will be fixed with the next version iTunes but so far with the latest, things still the same. So looking to see if anyone with a similar size library is having similar problems and it just a limitation of the program or it's something specific on my end that I can fix.
Appreciate...
Up to this weekend I've had not issues with Genius. Worked beautifully and updated last Sunday as I have been doing every week since Apple added Genius. Yesterday I added a few albums and went to update and now getting the error of 'Genius results can't be updated right now. There is not enough memory available ~ Please try again later.' Now my library is well over >200,000 songs and only added 6 albums this time. Music sits on a external 2TB drive ~100GB free and my MacBook Pro has over 60GB open. Running latest Mac OSX and latest iTunes. Nothing new installed or changed since last Genius update.
To the points raised in this thread.
1. I've been updated weekly with a Library with over 200K songs till now with no problem. Majority is what I've ripped from my albums & CDs.
2. Deleted the albums recently added since last successful update - same result.
3. Connected directly to the network bypassing router as suggested here - same result.
4. Reinstalled iTunes program - same result.
5. Repaired permissions - same result.
Problem remains. Welcome any additional thoughts.
Question for anyone with a music library
https://discussions.apple.com/message/12584815#12584815
Ok, tried all the suggestions here yet the problem remains.
In addition what I posted above -
1) Dumped the cookies in user/library/cookies folder
2) Deleted the apple cookies found under Safari Preferences "Show Cookies"
3) Repaired disk permissions
4) Deleted iTunes Library Genius.itdb file
5) Reinstalled iTunes (with the new 10.1 version)
6) Restarted computer
7) Rebuilt iTunes Library folder http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451
8) Deleted all iTunes dead tracks
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=removedeadsuper
9) Increased internet access speed
10) Removed all open "[" and '}' brackets from songs, albums & artists
10) Rebuilt my entire library from scratch!
Is there anyone out there with over 200K songs that can update their Genius? One thing I noted is the genuis.itdb file is just over 2GB. I'm wondering if there is a maximum size on this based on the error I'm getting. Any thought or know info on this?
Ok, think I may have found something here with this. I backed out all the music added prior to this problem occurring and ran the Genius update. All worked fine. I then started adding the music back little by little (running the update each time) until the problem returned. When the problem came back I ruled out the specific music added by backing that bit out, verified all was ok and added a different batch back in.
Bottom-line it appears that when my library exceeds exactly 1.208TB the problem appears. Interestingly enough it does not appear to be related to the number of songs, the size of the genius.itdb file (in fact when it was working the file was at 2.25GB - larger than what I reported before). It specifically seems to be related to the size of the overall library - when I have it for example at 1.2079 all is ok, 1.2081 it fails with this error.
I did try moving the library and related files to the external drive but same result. abavetta, I think your suggestion of this script may be a workaround for now - although from what I read, is this not the same that you can do anyway with iTunes by holding the alt/option key open start up? In fact I do have two libraries now - one with the 2TB drive which I use at home and another for 2x500GB disks I carry with me when i travel. I just reported the same back to Apple but doubt if any immediate solution will come for this. Too bad as one of the great things about having such a large library is the mixes you can generate via Genius. Anyway, such is life and will just live with this for now. I also just found this program called Tangerine! http://www.potionfactory.com/tangerine/ which creates playlists like Genius - although through a different technique I might also take a look at.

Just to let all know that may be having a similar problem, what I found by accident to fix this problem.
Reset all my Home Folder permissions using the resetpassword method from the startup utility in Lion. Then turned off/on to reset Genius and cleaned out the cache folder for good measure. Finally after more than a year without, have Genius up and running again.

I have iMac 27. After Mountain Lion install, my trackpad freezes partially after deep sleep and need to restart to get it working again. anyone with same issue?

I have an iMac 27 and installed Mountain Lion last week. Since then, after a deep overnight sleep, certain of my trackpad functions are frozen after i wake the Mac. i need to restart the computer in order to get the trackpad fully functional. Anyone with same issue or ideas?

I'm having the exact same issue with Mountain Lion on my 2008 17" MacBook Pro. I've just tried the SMC reset, so we'll see how that does. The problem was intermittent, occuring not after every wake--from-sleep, but every few.
Interestingly, my 2007 17" MacBook Pro is also running Mountain Lion (the oldest MacBook Pro than can!), and hasn't had this problem at all.

My mother is visually impaired but can easily play scrabble, bridge, crib on my ipad. Has anyone with a vision issue experienced these same games as easily on the ipad mini?

My mother is visually impaired but can easily play scrabble, bridge, crib on my ipad. Has anyone with a vision issue experienced these same games as easily on the ipad mini? Would prefer to buy the smaller one if she can read it successfully.

Thanks jared,
I'm still dealing with this issue through Apple. Some time after I posted this, I contacted Apple again. They did start a case up for me, as I was experiencing the same behavior on two different machines, with two different versions of Windows.
So far it remains unsolved. I've logged iClouds for Windows on my desktop, which is brand new, then logged for awhile after completely uninstalling Norton Security Suite, depending on the Microsoft security for some time, and finally logged after I uninstalled iCloud for Windows, restarted, installed a clean download, and connected using a completely different test account, which Apple set up for me. None of this made any difference. Looking at the logs, it seems every 10 minutes, iCloudServices.exe creates a new TCP connection to confirm I'm using less than 5GB on iCloud, (which I am by a good margin, using less than 2GB), it seems this connection is not closed, and when the next iteration rolls around 10 minutes later, a new TCP connection is created. I come very close to having 6 TCP connections created per hour, until I restart my computer. This works out to... 6 x 24 = 144/day.
Perhaps the article you posted will shed some further light on this. I'm thinking seeing the state of the connection through netstats, at the least, could help.
For the last week, I've been putting a hold on further logging, as Apple wants me to create a new user account on one of my computers, install iCloud for Windows there, and log it running in the other account. This however basically means I cannot use my computer for a fair number of hours, and I've been busy enough with work the past week that I haven't the time or energy to afford to set this up and run it. I've had need of my computers too much for the past week.

Has anyone with a whinning MacBook got it replaced with a silent one?

Has anyone with a whinning MacBook got it replaced with a silent one?
or
Has anyone got the CPU whine fixed at Apple?

I had a whining week 12 MacBook Pro. I exchanged it at the Apple Store for another week 12 MacBook Pro (they didn't have any week 13 models).
The second week 12 MacBook whined far louder than the first. Also, unlike the first MacBook which whined only on battery power, the second MacBook whined on both A/C and battery. Moreover, it was unstable (something I did not experience with the first MacBook) and prone to kernel panics.
I returned the second MacBook. I was offered a week 13, but I asked for my money back instead.
I'm currently waiting to see what Apple says about this issue before ordering again.

Anyone with a june 24th or later order date shipped out yet?

anyone with a june 24th or later order date shipped out yet? also since my Att bill and my pay check are way off i cant ever pay my att bill untill it is about a week overdue.. but i always pay and att never complains do u think this will hurt my shipping status?

i talk to at&t about that i also ordered from apple the guy said they will still ship it but u cant activate it until u pay ur past due balance on ur bill so u have nothing to worry about just pay it before u try and activate it and u will be fine.. i ordered june 18th at 12:23 am and mine went to prepared shipping 4 days ago but my ship date was still july 14th
oh and my bill is past due and it still changed to prepared shipping and it changed after i talk to the guy from at&t so i know the past due balance has nothing to do with it not shipping right now.
i got to upgrade when i paid my bill on june 18th and i was eligible when i paid it so i ordered it now here in july im past due and its still in process so ur bill really has nothing to do with it as long as u ordered it while u were eligible u are fine.

IMPORTANT GUIDE FOR ANYONE WITH AN HP DEVICE NOT WORKING AFTER SNOW LEOPARD

To anyone with an HP printer/scanner device,
After being frustrated with my HP Photosmart C4580 not being able to scan for over an hour (scouring the forums, HP's website etc), I've come to realize my problem. Note that this has only been tested on a device that is plugged in DIRECTLY to your mac. I have not tried this over the network and do not plan to since my house is not set up for that.
Anyone who is having any issues with their device, UNINSTALL the HP software. The software is simply incompatible with SL and will mess up your devices! HP even says so on their website (see link below)!
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01846935&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en &product=1153481
This is easily done by going to your applications folder > Hewlett Packard > HP Uninstaller. After using the uninstaller to uninstall HP's apps from your computer unplug your scanner from your computer and power supply. Now to make sure there are NO printers registered with your computer that could possibly mess up the fresh driver install, go to System Preferences > Print & Fax. Right click anywhere in the left pane (where any printers you have/had installed will be located) and click "Reset Printing System". This will wipe out any traces of a printer so you can start a-new.
Now, restart your computer. After it is restarted, plug your printer into the power source, then when it is fully booted up you may plug it into your USB slot. Then, go to System Preferences > Print & Fax. Click on the "+" (which will give you the interface to add your printer), select your printer (which you should note will say "USB Multifunction" instead of "USB" which is what showed up with the HP software still installed), and click "add". Your mac will do the rest (installing the drivers and such) and you should be able to print & scan as usual.
Note that you will need to scan using Preview, Image Capture, or your Printer Queue due to the changes with Snow Leopard (see the HP link above to learn how to use these). Your device should now properly show up when you use these applications to try and scan now.
-Mike S

@lakewood - there is nothing specifically in Software Update if you upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard. For me anyway..seems like thats the case for everyone though.
@ruger - so it won't even let you hit the '+'? For me, I had to hit the '+' to get it to install which in turn automatically downloaded the proper software/drivers for my device. if i were you, i'd see if i could get that to happen and hit '+' to install it. also - make sure you don't have any of the HP software on your computer also (use the uninstaller provided!)..that was really what did the trick for my machine. HP has come out and specifically said to not use the device manager, but that didn't quite do it for me. i had to uninstall everything that came on that CD (its all located in applications > Hewlett-Packard and, like i said, can be uninstalled easily using the provided uninstaller).
if all else fails, what i've also heard helps is just to reinstall snow leopard. that'll make sure everything is fresh. i'd delete all your printers like i outlined in my first post first THEN reinstalling it if you wish to go that route. however, it really does sound like the driver is messed up if its pausing and works fine with time capsule. idk how old the printer is, but sometimes with older models, the support blows. i apologize if none of this helps whatever the reason for your troubles may be, though.
Good luck,
-Mike S
PS: printers are always terrible to upgrade on everyone's end. consumers, operating systems, and manufacturers. it stinks that nothing can be generic and run similarly anymore =/

Has anyone with Windows successfully set up "Accounts" disk file sharing?

I bought an Airport Extreme basestation (the one with Wifi-N and gigabit ethernet)a few days ago and set it up on the network.
So far the wifi part has been nice - the range and speed (and stability) are a lot better than the Belkin draft-N wifi I had been using.
I've also been able to share a few FAT-32 USB disks (Iomega brand) using the "with device password" option and it seems to work nicely in this mode.
But what I really want to do is setup access by the "with a disk password" and via "accounts" - but after several hours of troubleshooting and checking on the Internet, I get the impression that neither work.
For example, when I am sharing the disks in Device mode, I can connect to the IP from windows explorer and access using any user name and the device password. This works great.
When I set it to "Disk" mode - it doesn't work at all - no matter what user name and password are used. I tried using both the disk and device password. I get a windows error "... is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource..." which is consistent with the user and password authentication failure. I have the same experience when setting the disk sharing for "Account" mode.
Repeated rebooting of the Airport Extreme and Laptop did not help at all. I also tried after killing the Airport utility/assistant that sits in the task bar as it seems useless. The results are the same with the utility activated or not.
A few more details:
I have the Airport Extreme in 'bridge' mode - the IP is generated by a broadband router connected to a cable modem. I updated the firmware from the 7.2.1 that came installed to the latest (7.3.2).
I read on the Internet a number of posts from both Mac and Windows users reporting bugs in the security software on the airport for filesharing. So my question is - has anyone with a Windows (XP, vista, etc) gotten the file sharing to work with anything other than Device mode? Eg. Disk mode, Account mode, etc?
I know several people that use these devices, but nobody is using in this mode. I talked 2 friends to try setting up users and they couldn't get it to work either. But it's not a big deal to them since they don't use that feature.
If anyone is using it like this, I'd like to know how you set it up. If you had this problem and what you did to fix it. Thanks!

I suspect I may never know why, but now, inexplicably, everything is working.
Out of curiosity, I tried to connect via an older win2000 machine that we use for a file server and it worked!
After we rebooted the other XP machines, they started working too.
I'm sure the fix was anything but connecting a win2000 machine, but I'm just happy it works now!

Good all, is there anyone with problem on the whatsapp 2.11.6 version. It's was crashing on my iPhone. I thought these software was first tested before uploading.

Looking at the reviews for the current version of the app in the app store it looks like other people are also having problems with it - you could try contacting the developers of the app : http://www.whatsapp.com/contact/

Hi all when I send a text to a contact (iphone4s) the contacts name changes to a phone number and the name is lost. I then have to resave it again, googled it but can't see anyone with the same issue, any ideas ?

There is another setting for "Start Conversation from", that needs to be set to phone number.

Anyone with a "Week 13"?
