Has anyone received their C2D MBP with 3GB RAM?

For those that have ordered a 15" C2D MBP with 3GB of RAM:
a) have you received their order yet, and if so, did it take a while to ship (mine's taking forever to ship);
b) do you feel that the extra 1GB was worthwhile paying for in terms of performance under programs such as photoshop CS2 etc.
Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   667 MHz PPC

Yes, I received my 15-incher with 3gb of RAM and 160gb HD. I ordered about an hour after the store came back up with the updated specs on 10/24, it shipped late on 10/26, and I received it on 10/30.
I've not tried CS2 - I have that but currently run it on my Dell desktop. I'll be migrating my photography workflow over to the Mac next spring, when Adobe univeral binaries become available, at which time I'll replace the Dell with a Mac Pro.
I can say, having started working with the Aperture trial and Parallels running Windows XP (to which I have a gig of RAM dedicated when running the VM), that the extra memory seems to make a significant difference. I'm not at all sorry I bit the bullet for that extra gig - especially since Apple's price vis-a-vis that upgrade seems very reasonable relative to the aftermarket memory providers.
Good luck on receiving yours soon. This is a wonderful machine...

  • Has anyone received their Apple Watch paid for in full or partial with an Apple gift certificate?

    Anyone received their watch paying with an Apple gift certificate?

    Yes, received a 38mm SS with black sports band on Friday fully paid by Apple card.

  • Has anyone received their 42mm stainless steel with black band watch?

    HHas anyone received their 42mm stainless steel black band watch? Also curious if anyone has received a watch that was payed for in full or partial using a Apple gift certificate.

    I hopped on the Apple Store app as soon as I could to order it.  It said the delivery date range was 4/24-5/8.  The confirmation email had a 3:03 EDT timestamp.
    Interestingly, the 38mm model that I ordered at the same time arrived on the 24th, so there must have been something about the larger model or strap that delayed it a bit.   I also noticed that the Apple Store app began working a few minutes before the web site, which may have made a difference.

  • I did the trade in for the 6...I mailed my 4s in over 3 weeks ago and still no trade in credit...and I can't seem to get anyone at Verizon to give me an update, even telling me that they received my trade in...has anyone received their trade in credit?

    Has anyone received the credit from the i6 trade in promotion?  I sent my 4s in over 3 weeks ago and I can't even reach anyone to see if it has been received and when the trade in credit would be e-mailed to me.

    We appreciate you taking the time to reach out to us, Richard24601! Your Gift card may take 4-6 weeks after the submission of the phone.

  • Has anyone paired their iPhone contacts with a 2009 Honda Pilot?

    I recently purchased a 2009 Honda Pilot and want to sync my contacts with the Bluetooth.  Has anyone had any luck with the iPhone 4?

    I also have a Honda Pilot (without the environment damaging Daytime Running Lights).
    I found that the Bluetooth interface is not reliable.
    It seems like every other time there is a new version of the iPhone firmware or an update in the firmware to my car radio the Bluetooth interface stops working.
    I have since changed to a hardwired dock connector in all my cars. These ALWAYS work.
    Just about any car audio shop can install these at a low cost.
    They are unaffected by firmware updates, and they charge my iPhone and iPod at the same time. So when I get out of my car I have a fully charged iPhone.
    Go hardwired, it will ALWAYS work.

  • Has anyone tried using a MBP with TD at two different sites?

    I just got my TD at home and at one at work yesterday.  While I love the display and the docking ability it provides, I have encountered an issue that I haven't resolved, I was wondering if anyone else had noticed this.
    At home, the TD is positioned to the left side of the MBP, so I was able to orient the display preferences accordingly.  At work, I have to position the TD above the MBP.  The starting position for the TD is above the MBP. I am wondering if the MBP can recognize that these two TDs are different devices and position them accordingly.  It appears not.
    Another interesting quirk:  At home, the MBP recognizes the built-in mic and speakers and calls them Thunderbolt audio, I believe.  At work, it calls them USB audio.  I am wondering what other strange differences I'll see.
    2011 17" MBP
    TD
    Snow Leopard (hey, I still run XP under Parallels 6.0 - I like my SW to thoroughly soak before using it)

    Here's an update:  The Thunderbold Display user interface is broken.
    I made sure all the software/firmware was up to date (now they both label the TD audio as USB, interestingly enough - was the shipped firmware with one of the devices newer than that on the web site???).  On days when the Moon is full, the MBP comes out of hibernation with the only display on the computer, on cloudy days, the computer comes out of hibernation with the only display on the TD.  From 10 minutes after the hour until quarter to the hour, both displays come up, but open Finder windows randomly are placed on one display or the other.  On Thursday mornings, the icon locations on the desktop get shuffled like the display resolution was reduced to VGA and then restored.  While both the TD and MBP audio and camera work and I can set either to be active, the system has a definite preference to use the TD for audio and camera (except that Facetime only wants to use the MBP audio).
    Did Apple let Microsoft get their hands on this?

  • Has anyone received their nMP that was scheduled for Feb. Shipment?

    I'm just asking because I ordered mine in the first week of Jan. and it still says "available to ship February" yet February ends on Friday.  I was wondering if anyone else that ordered around the same time as me has received any update on their February shipment date?  Or received the nMP altogether?

    Ordered mine New Year's day. Still haven't reccived it. Heck, the status still only shows "Feburary" on the page. I've had the amount pend and then expire. Received email saying ship in two days (Received that Tuesday). Still no charges pending and no shiping information. Of course Apple can't tell me anything. Bit frustrated to be honest. Waiting impatiently. :-) WAAAAAA! I want my computer. :-)

  • Has anyone found their lost Iphone with Icloud succefully?

    I recently had my Iphone stolen and my Icloud picked it up for a breif moment in front of someones house. I am from Illinois and it was stolen in Wisc. I had a friend go the house but it was a little old lady. Im pretty sure she did not live alone but my friend did felt a little uncomfortable even going to the door for me. When I continue to go on to Icloud it says my phone is offline but as of today I have been able to call it and it rings until my voicemail picks up. Before it would go to voicemail. Am I correct that there is a chance the sim card is still intact? I did put a lock on the phone so they are not able to access the phone except if they call the number provided by the "This phone is Lost" app I was able to us from Icloud. I am just looking for a little bit of hope that the phone could still be retrieved or brought online somehow before I completely give up home and have it erased. Any success stories or advice anyone has. I did call the police and have yet to get intouch with an officer to file a report but did get feed back that they could not go to the house without a warrent.

  • Has anyone received their Agent 18 yet?

    Are you satisfied with it?
    If you have a black nano could you post some pictures with the agent 18?
    I'm curious to see how it looks because I ordered one and have a black nano.
    Thanks.

    I've ordered one and am currently awaiting it's arrival. I also have a black nano. Will post some images when it arrives.

  • Has anyone received MBP C2D 17"?

    Has anyone received or at least seen MBP C2D 17"? I called apple store in London and they told me that there is another delay and I should try it in 7 days. Does anyone know what is going on?

    How else
    would you explain that 15" is here for awhile while
    17" is not. Not even for a display purposes.
    Something is suspicious here :))
    it doesn't seem that strange to me. retooling an assembly line to produce a few hundred models for display purposes which are almost identical (save for the chip) to the previous line doesn't make sense. it's all about money. there is probably more money to be made right now making macbooks and 15 inch macbook pros. they've cranked out some 17s now so that means they've either got a new assembly plant on line or at least have converted some of the lines from a plant formerly making 15s over to the 17s...these kinds of operations changes take a while to make and require considerable planning and commitment to a decision in order for them to make sense, money-wise. anyway, that's my take on it...

  • Has anyone ever had a problem with their iphone 4 not syncing and/or writing a backup file?

    Has anyone ever had a problem with their iphone 4 not syncing and/or writing a backup file?  Itunes locks up when i attempt a sync as well as when I transfer my purchases from my phone to Itunes. I'm running Itunes 10.4.1 on iOS 4.3.5.  All of this is running on an 8 year old hp pavillian laptop running XP Pro that is fully updated. Could my phone have a bug or a hardware problem. Are there any known problems with  iOS 4.3.5?  Pretty frustrating problem so I'm hoping that someone has heard of this and can offer some suggestions on a solution.  Thanks a bunch.

    Did you used to have service and now suddenly you don't?
    This happened to me a few years back, and several other iPhone users in my neighborhood, and after a while on the phone with AT&T they figured out that a technician had recently adjusted the receiver/sender on the tower and it was slightly off. They sent them back up and I actually had a better signal after than I did before it went out.
    I would call AT&T and explain the issue you are having and see if they can fix it.
    If you never had service there then like wjosten said it's probably just a bad zone.
    Hope you get it sussed out.

  • Has anyone received an update on apple tv issue with HD movies and what they are doing about it

    Has anyone received an update on apple tv issue with HD movies and what they are doing about it

    Whatever the rep told you, it is complete nonsense. There is clearly a problem at your end, the Apple TV 3 is capable of more than the Apple TV 2, and you clearly have the Apple TV 2 working perfectly. Since the Apple TV 2 is able to download from the Internet properly, then my suspicion would be your problem lies on your local network. Interference is a common problem on local networks.
    Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
