Can you get a bigger battery for the macbook?

this puny thing runs down too **** fast!

While those people coming from the PC world may feel that 3.5 - 4 hour battery life is good, I find it pretty poor. Portable PCs designed with battery life in mind have much better lives than this (the cheap laptops won't, but the MacBook isn't exactly a cheap laptop). Additionally, and more importantly, the 12 and 14 inch iBooks that the MacBook replaced had much better battery life (over 5 hours when using it on low brightness, but with moderate processing and wireless being on).
The fact that these machines burn so much power is kind of sad, as they should be capable of dissipating far less power than their iBook counterparts. Hopefully apple will fix this by actually implementing speed step properly, shutting down cores and actually running the machine at 1GHz when the processor isn't being hammered. This could dramatically lower the machines power consumption. Even there though I imagine the battery life will be less than that of the iBook, not sure exactly why though as the cpu wouldn't be the primary power consumer.

Can you get wireless hard drives for the new ipad as apple again havent increased the size

someone has mentioned that you can get wireless hard dives for the ipad.....this would be beneficial as yet again apple have not increased the size of the maximum hard drive of their new "soon to be released" ipad.....thanks Lee

The wireless "drives", which are more truly media streamers rather than true file storage, continue to be an optiono for the new iPad just as it was for the previous versions. Confirm compatibility with iOS 5.1 before purchasing, just in case the product might need an update for the new version of iOS.

Where can I get a replacement battery for the iBook G3 Clamshell M6411, in the UK?

I recently managed to source an Indigo iBook G3 clamshell - the M6411 FireWire model - from eBay.
It's in superb condition, but the battery has had it, and only holds about 5-10 minutes' charge.
Can anyone suggest where I can get a replacement? I guess I just assumed it would be easy, but everywhere I look online they're either sold out or cost a fairly large amount of money - I paid £50 for the laptop, which was a pretty good deal, and had hoped to get a battery for under £30 (as I've bought similar replacement batteries before for other laptops).
Also, are all the G3 Clamshell batteries the same? Or do the different models have different batteries?

Some items come up in a search for Mac parts UK; whether or not they have
an exact part match for any vintage product has not been searched...
Most that I have looked into, show any battery "out of stock" &/or listed "used."
A good electronics shop with an understanding of how these batteries are wired
in their case (and any controller chip circuitry) should be able to install new cells
inside the case; however opening these may present a problem if done forcefully.

http://www.applemacparts.co.uk/store/index.php
http://www.theappleshack.co.uk/
In the US, wegenermedia.com, powerbookmedic.com, & others may know of stock.
So far, I'd struck out searching; could be one may need to contact long standing
Apple specialists & those who repair vintage models, to get refurbished batteries.
Perhaps there is a message board or User Group site where one could try & contact
Apple users; of those some may know of a source, or an individual capable of repair
since these battery units have been refurbished before with new rechargeable cells.
Sorry to not be of exact help in this matter.
Good luck & happy computing!

Can you get a solar charger for the ipad 2?

Does anyone know if you can get a solar charger for an ipad 2?

There a few technical considerations to enable Ipad charging from PV's (solar cells)
1. The output voltage must be no greater than 5.1vdc (max)
2. The correct sensing resistors must be on the USB interface to turn on the charging circuitry just as in the iphone and Ipod.
3. The output current must be high enough to actually charge the Ipad usually something greater than 800ma at
5.1vdc. Usually the greater the better, The Apple supplied chargers are 2 amps. The output is stated in direct sunlight so again the greater the better.
4. The weight, physical and type PV must meet the needs of the user.

Can you get an Apple ID for corporate use to associate with more than 10 devices?

Can you get an Apple ID for corporate use to associate with more than 10 devices?

I don't believe you can. The usual model for iOS app distribution is for each device to have a unique Apple ID and for apps to be acquired separately, either via codes from the Volume Purchase Program or individual purchase through the iTunes Store. The licensing from the iTunes Store doesn't allow an app to be installed on more than one device unless all the devices are being used by a single person, so you legally cannot install one app on multiple corporate devices in the circumstances most businesses use.

Can you get your photos back after the iphone does a restore

Can you get your photos back after the iphone does a restore?

Actually, wrong.
The tech support people can help with Playbook purchased apps. If you've called and they said they cannot, you were lied to.
Even in the link you posted, in #10, it states clearly "App Refund related matters are handled by BlackBerry Customer Care." That, my friend is accessed by the support number. Again, if you were told otherwise, you should inform them of such or ask for a manage/supervisor.
And, you don't have a "Partner ID" because you are not a "Partner". The section you're referring to applies to mobile providers, which are the Partners.
Good luck.

How can you get an applet to obey the CSS z-index attribute?

How can you get an applet to obey the CSS z-index attribute?
I have a DHMTL page with a panel that I want to slide back and forth. But another part of the requirement is to have the panel look like it is sliding under another panel.
The problem is that an applet is on the panel that slides. When the sliding panel move under the stationary panel the applet does not go under the stationary panel, but the reset of the sliding panel does render looking like it is sliding under.
See below.

--------------------------------------------------------Where @ is the applet. Notice how the applet is on top of the ^ but the panel under it, ^, is under like it should be. All the panels are 1x1 tables with a border. So how can I get the applet on the drawing shown with # and * to follow the rendering of the z-index of 2?

Hi,
I have the same problem, and don't know how to solve it, So, i had tried to put my applet in a div tag wih z-index=0, but it still hide my other Dhtml divs with bigger Z-index (z-index =1000)
Have you any idea to solve this.
Thanks

There is no serial number and you don't need one. What you need for a subscription is to SIGN IN within Acrobat, so it knows the subscriptions you own.

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.
