  • How long did your MacBook Pro take to arrive?

    My MBP is coming direct from Apple but as it was purchased via a reseller I have no tracking.
    Its been over 9 working days already, but the apple site says 2-3 days is typical?
    I'm soooo excited but its quickly turning to disappointment with every afternoon.
    How long did yours take to arrive?

    Hi there,
    When I ordered my custom MBP on June 25, it also said 2-3 days to ship. It shipped the 28th from China and arrived via FedEx on July 3rd. That was with standard shipping. I'm not sure if you used expedited shipping or not, but fyi, it is expedited only after going through customs - i.e. 2 day shipping will mean 2 days after going through customs. Depending on when you ordered, especially if you ordered right before or after Independence Day, it could be a day or two extra to process.
    Good luck, and I hope you enjoy it when it finally arrives.

  • How long is the Battery your Macbook Pro 15 Inch (2011)

    I might get a Macbook Pro 15 Inch 2011 with the 256GB SSD and the High Resolution Screen!
    How much Battery Life would I get?
    1) Going on the Internet
    2) Running Skype
    3) Playing Flight Simulator
    4) Running Word
    OR just list how long your battery is on your Macbook Pro!
    Thanks!!!
    (Will the higher resolution display affect my battery life)?

    I was saying all of those combined on the newest MBP
    if you're just worried about word, depending on the version, it might not even run on the computer.
    And surprising as it may be, web browsing, depending on how you browse and what plug-ins you have installed, can be a very intensive task that takes up CPU and memory.
    I found a very good discussion specifically about your issue but the site is riddled with ads so just google "MBP battery life 2011" without the quotes for further information. (it's very vast)
    Long story short, bring your power brick with you if you take your computer out. There are also extra battery options that are said to help you charge your computer however, the magsafe power adapter is Apple propietary hardware that no one is able to make unless it's an Apple branded product so these batteries usually have a three prong plug (depending on where you're from) to pluginto with your power brick.

  • How long is to long to keep your macbook pro on?

    I'm downloading a movie and it's gonna take a while and I am wondering what the maximum time is for keeping your macbook pro on for.

    As long as you need it on.  I never shut mine down, I keep it active all day, and I just put it to sleep everynight.  That allows Apple to make updates to your mac.

  • How is the best way of keeping your macbook pro battery healthy

    what is the best way of keeping your macbook pro battery healthy there are so many ways what is the best way?

    Read these two Apppe articles:
    http://http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1446
    I generally keep my MBP connected to AC as much as possible and try to make certain that at least monthly I run it on the battery to about the 40% charge level.

    If the CD player has audio line outputs, you could tap the audio input port of your MBP.  I do question the practicality of doing so.

  • How to connect my macbook pro to a computer-to-computer network?

    how to connect my macbook pro to a computer-to-computer network?  My home computer is a Window 8 OS.  Thx.

    The easiest way, and it may work from scratch, is to share the folders/drives you want access to on your pc, noticing what are the default parameters (eg "workgroup" etc.).
    Then, you can connect your mac directly by ethernet, for instance, and, in Finder, go to > Network, you should see the folders/drives. You may be asked to provide user/password.
    Don't get confused by regular/crossed ethernet cable, as mac can cross by software, so a regular cable will be ok.
    Anyway, either you isd modem has the ability to connect several devices (multiple ethernet sockets, or wifi), or you can buy a router, which isn't expansive.

  • How to know my macbook pro supports usb2 or usb3?

    How to know my macbook pro supports usb2 or usb3 ?
    And if it is USB 2, will external hardisk which support usb 2 would be compatible with & vice-versa?
    What would be the cons?

    USB 3.0 ports were only added to those MacBook Pros that were released in mid 2012 and later.
    So you would have USB 2.0 ports on your machine.
    But USB 3.0 and 2.0 are 'compaitble,' somewhat - you just won't be able to get the throughput of a USB 3.0 to USB 3.0 connection.
