How is BootCamp with the new MBP 15"?

I had the previous version and there were sound and touchpad issues. Has that been cleared up at all? Any other issues? I'm thinking about getting one, but I've got to have flawless Windows 7 in BootCamp. Any other issues coming up?
Thanks.

I have a 2008 late MBP 2.53 and a 2010 MBP i7 no issues with bootcamp win7 64bit for either. I just took the image of the 2008 and copied on to the 2010 and added a new serial no. If there's something specific you want me to test for let me know?

Using Alu Power Adapter with The new MBP Unibody 2009 ? (Both 85 Watts)

Hi,
Can i use the Power Adapter off my Aluminium MBP 2.5 GHz,15" intel core 2 Duo (MacBookPro4,1), with the new Unibody 15" 2.66 GHz(MacBookPro5,1)?
They are both 85 Watts.
The Power adapter for Aluminium is :
Input : 100-240V - 1,5A 50-60Hz
Output : 16,5-18,5V, 4,6 A Max
Delta Eletronic
The Power Adapter for Unibody is :
Input : 100-240V - 1,5A 50-60Hz
Output : 18,5V 4,6A, 16,5V, 3,6A
LiteOn Technology
Thanks for The Lights.

That's correct, I meant to type 85W.
Can anyone advise what the impact will be of using older 85W adapters with the new MBP's that come with a 60W adapter?
Is there a shorter battery life in the long-term, or is the new battery designed to cope the same with either of these power adapters?

Any Bootcamp issues with the new MBP? What about right clicking?

Tried out the new MBP at the Apple store... was wondering how Bootcamp would work with it. I use Bootcamp all the time for work so I'm interested to here the pro's and con's for the new models. Seems like the new trackpad clicking would be cause issues with the "two-finger click" in Bootcamp.

Right clicking issues galore!
(at least in the windows side of things...)
The 64bit windows worked fine....
The 32bit windows had many issues, even after 2 attempts. (via boot camp)
The main issue: the functions keys are locked on. Normally, I would hold down "fn" and push "f10" to mute but that doesn't work. All I have to do is hit "f10" and its muted. That is all good until I have to right-click using the "shift+f10" method since the bottom-right-of-trackpad and two-finger-clicking doesn't work whatsover. The "shift+f10" method won't work now since the fn keys are locked on. We have NO IDEA what the problem is. Could it be a driver issue...though it works fine with x64bit and OS X side of things.
Oh, and mac doesn't give support if one installs Vista and Microsoft won't give support since it isn't on a 'native' pc, so we are screwed. They have both protected themselves and blamed it on the other and the customer is left out to dry.

Can I use the old MagSafe connector with the new MBP

I must say that I like the new style MagSafe connector that came with my new MBP. I would like to get an extra to leave in another room, but I'm not hot to pay $79 to Apple for one. I saw an 85 Watt old style connector on eBay for $35. Would the old style work on my new MBP? I don't want to screw it up just to save $44, but if it will work, why buy the $79 unit.
Basically, it would only be serving duty while my MBP is connected to my Time Machine.

As long as it is healthy it will work, Macaby.
Be wary of second hand units that haven't been tested though. Quite a few that haven't been well treated develop weakening of the wires at the points where they enter either the magnetic "head" or the body of the power block. At best these are likely to fail prematurely. At worst they may cause sparks to fly!
OWC sell tested second hand units for a price somewhere in between the eBay "used" price and the cost of a new one, that might be worth a look.
Be wary of cheap third party imitations. The extra few dollars is a small price to pay to avoid the catastrophic consequences that can occur if a badly made power adaptor happens to decide to start a fire!
Cheers

How does scaling work under Windows 7 with the new MBP with retina display?

After installing Windows in a boot camp partition on the new MacBook Pro, how does scaling work compared to OS X? Does Windows know to have several pixels imitate a single pixel like in OS X when running in 1440 x 900, or is there no scaling effect available?

I suggest reading the following article that was published yesterday...

MRI: How to deal with the NEW .js files being added to MassReplaceIt?

This question concerns the application "MassReplaceIt."
I have read the Help menu on it but am not clear on it and want to make sure that my guess is correct before I go and do anything.
THE RUN-UP TO MY QUESTION IS:
I have 23 songs on my website. Each time I have to Publish All to .Mac, the .js files for those pages need to be edited or else the songs won't play.
In MRI > Find, I have my 8 pairs of Find/Replace.
In Files, I have my 23 .js files listed
I set up that combintion above as my DEFAULT QUERY. I named it "For song edits in .js files." As I add new songs, the list lengthens.
MY QUESTION IS:
The bottomest line question is: How do I handle new .js files to MRI and use MRI to edit them out the first time? Thus far I have been doing the first edit manually. Can I use the same default query every time I add a new song or must I make a new query to use with new songs, and then add the new song .js file later on to the default query?
And below is the fully extended question which doesn't presume anything:
When I add a new song and go through the motions thru MRI of Adding a new file and the selecting it in my iDisk, and then I click "Replace" (which then goes thru the files and finds/replaces to bring all files up to date) does MRI know to just edit out the new .js file which has not been edited yet? I can see that even if MRI goes thru all the songs to check them for current-ness, it could just leave the unaffected files alone and work only on the new file, but is that the way MRI wants me to do it? Or another way?
If MRI wants me to do it another way, then I figure that MRI wants me to use a new query, and then the question is: How can I set up MRI so that in addition to that default query above, I have only the 8 Find/Replace items and NO long list of 24+ .js files? Then, when I add a new a .js file I would use that Query to edit it out just for that one time. Then I would transfer the .js file to the default File list.
I have it in my head that I would use the DEFAULT query only for after I do Publish All to .Mac as opposed to, "Here is a list of 25 files, but edit out only the new one."
Am I wrong? (I speak only of iWeb tasks, not of other programs like word processors.)
WHEW!

Well, it can't "find" something that isn't there...
so if it's already been changed, it can't be changed
again Does this make sense?
Be sure to re-save your query as you add new pages to
the list.
Yes, it makes sense and it was my first instinctive thought, but I have FeDigiWo: Fear of the Digital World. FeDigiWo is what made me catch myself in Instinct Mode and ask: But would the program want me to do it that way? Is the program finicky?
So, bottomest line: When I put in a new song, I will go to MRI > Files > +
and then navigate to the file, open it, wait for it to show up in the files field, and then click REPLACE. Yes? OK.

Does anyone have trouble with the new MBP unibody cover/lid falling shut?

My new MBP unibody lid will close inadvertently after a certain angle. The tension on my white Macbook was nice--I could angle the lid at ANY angle, from all the way open to almost closed, an d it would stay put. Not the MBP. As I lay in bed with this new laptop, if the sceen isn't angled far enough back it just swings shut, as if it is too heavy or the tension of the hinges isnt tight enough! Anyone else have this problem? I read somewhere that Steve Jobs "intended it to be this way." Huh.

I have a 17" mid-07 MBP
I have the same problem. I'm currently sick in bed for the last 2 days and have been going crazy with this problem. I spent half the day looking online for some kind of clamp to keep the screen from being able to close. Basically every 3 minutes I have to push my screen back again. Every time I cough. My lid comes flying down. So annoying.

Bluetooth Audio Streaming Bug on the new MBP with Retina Display?

Hi,
today i got my new MacBook Pro with Retina Display. I am using Monsters Clarity HD Model One as speakers for my computer and have the new Bluetooth-Module called "Streamcast". This Module is APT-X and AAC compatible and has a really great quality. Normally...
But with the new MBP i can only stream the Audio via SBT (AD2P) what is a much worse quality. On my old MacBook Pro 13" AAC and APT-X was working very well.
Is that already a known issue? What can i do in this case?
Thanks a lot,
Rene

so return it for another one if its within the 14 day return policy. If not, bring it in for repair.

Does Office 2004 Student Teacher edition work well with our new MBP?

Hello All,
I have an older copy of MS Office 2004 for Mac: Student/teacher. Does it run well on our new MBP's?
I also run iWork 09' but need Office for work. I have read online that the newest MS Office is not that good.
Thanks

Hi,Office 2004 is designed for PowerPC processors, so you have to use Rossetta to have it work with the new mbp, as it is based on Intel processors, and the performance may not be very satisfactory.
Office 2008 is a Universal application and runs well on Intel Macs.

How do I share a hard drive with the new iMac to load a disk from macbook pro

How do I share a hard drive with the new iMac to load a disk from macbook pro. I want to install office for Mac from a disk but dont know how to share har drive from macpro
thanks

The new iMac's don' t have DVD drives however almost all have a disk drive. The easiest method of installing MS Office for Mac on your new iMac is to download it from Microsoft and then input the code you received when you purchased your original license. Otherwise you can use the DVD drive on your MBP to install on your iMac, that feature is called Remote Disc. Instructions for Remote Disc can be found at:http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5287

Does the new MBP with gt 750m get too hot while gaming?

I am planning to buy the new MBP with gt 750m and upgrade the cpu to intel i7-4960hq (2.6 GHz, 3.8 GHz max) but I am really confused. I am not going to use it for hardcore gaming but I will occasionally play Dota 2 and Civ 5. Additionally I will be using SolidWorks. I really want to know if it is capable of running these games/programs without generating too much heat because heat is a total dealbreaker for me.
My second question is about to CPU's heat generation. With the increase in clock speed as far as I know it is expected to generate more heat. I really want to learn if the cooling system is efficient enough for a system that has both i7-4960hq and GT 750M GDDR5.

I've had the original MBP, the 2.33 C2D, the 2.4 C2D, and just got a 2.5 C2D. I'm amazed at how much cooler the new ones run. Even doing the extended hardware test on AC power the fans never got over 3500rpm (the earlier machines would have been blasting at maximum rpm). I can run things at 100% processor tasks using both cores and still keep it on my lap. I'm just amazed at how much this hasn't been commented on. To me this is the big improvement in the new processors, the heat is now finally tolerable in an Intel based Mac laptop.

How can i sync my iphone with itnes on a new pc. when i tried to sync it said it will erase the contents on my iphone to sync with the new pc which has no contents

my old pc was running low in memory and i don't have enough space to back up in order to instal iOS5. so i got a new pc, installed itunes on it but when i tried to sync my iphone on the new pc, it said it'll erase all contents on my iphone and sync with the new pc which has no contents. it says iphone can only sync with one machine.
can you pls help

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up your phone manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
It doesn't sound like you "changed" your Apple ID, sounds like you created a new one. Bad idea. All content bought with an Apple ID is forever tied to that ID. The ID that bought the content is the only ID that can update the content. Apple does not merge IDs not does Apple transfer content from one ID to another.

Problems with the new 2.0 MBPs?

Hello all,
First of all, sorry if this has been asked before. I did a quick search and found nothing. I was just wondering if anyone has purchased the new MBPs with the 2.0 GHz and 80 GB hard drive, etc. and has had the same heat and whine issues.
I spoke with someone in the local Apple Store and he told me that they have had very few/no returns of the new MBPs or that he believes that the new ones have been fixed to some degree. He said one of those two things...I don't exactly remember. Does anyone have a response to this: still have problems; all fixed? Thanks for any input and I apologize if this question was somewhat unclear.

Thanks a lot guys. The more I hear good news the more convinced I am and extremely excited I am about getting one sooner rather than later! If anyone has some experience with the new models please post...I am sure you will be helping more people decide than just myself. Thanks again.
