I am now part of the tribe: Got my MBP!

Hi
It finally arrived - and very impressed I am too. No odd noises/whines to mention. The only things I notice are the vibration from hard disk and how hot it gets. It'll certainly be a friend during those long cold winter evenings!
The speakers are fine for a notebook computer and the only trouble I had with my wireless router was finding the WEP key!

All MBP's have the CPU whine. The sound is at the threshold of some people's (especially older folk's) hearing. Also, the sound goes away when you plug your MBP in (comes on again when you go back on battery).
I get a kick out of people who say they don't have it. I have seen several of these machines and they all have it. Some have the LCD buzz too (mine doesn't).
If you can't hear it, it is because A, your hearing is bad, B, you don't use

  • My Windows part of the drive got all of the files deleted and got renamed

    My Windows part of the drive got all of the files deleted and got renamed to Time Machine Backups. This all happened when i woke up and i tried to do to the windows part of the drive and it was not there. So I went to the mac part and i saw it was renamed to Time Machine Backups. So then I clicked to see if any thing was in the part. Nothing. I tried to go to boot camp assistant it said -The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition. The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows.-So Then I went to disk utility to erase it but it did nothing. PLEASE HELP ME

    1. Time machine probably has the disk locked. Go into time machine preferences and turn it off.
    2. open DU (disk utility), see if you can dismount the boot camp partition. If not, log out, log back in and try again with DU. Once it will mount and dismount go to step 3.
    3. In DU select the boot camp volume, select erase, select msdos file system (format), select name for partition, select erase.
    4. Close DU, Open preferences > system > startup disk.
    5. Highlight the msdos partition, close preferences (this blesses the msdos partition and sets it to boot).
    6. Place your windows cd/dvd in the tray, close tray and reboot.
    7. Install windows.
    8. After complete installation, select run, type in "cmd" (in windows).
    9. A windows terminal will open, at the prompt type:
    convert c: /fs:ntfs
    press enter, it will ask if you want to schedule the conversion at the next startup?.
    10. Select yes. Time machine will leave a ntfs drive alone, simply because it cannot write to it.
    11. Reboot windows and let it convert the file system. That's it.

  • Just repaired cracked iPhone 4 screen and now part of the screen isn't working.

    A few days ago, I cracked my iPhone 4's screen pretty badly. I was having absolutely no trouble with the screen after I cracked it, aside from the crack, of course. I just got the screen repaired yesterday and now the bottom left part of the screen sometimes doesn't work. When I'm using the keypad, the following characters are affected:
    RDFCX (and sometimes E) 4 ; , } ~
    Also, sometimes, when I press that part of the screen, it's as if the phone doesn't recognize my touch. This is affecting scrolling, the ability to move the cursor, and makes it hard for me to unlock my phone because sometimes the bar along the bottom won't slide. However, when I select apps using that portion of the screen on the home screen, it works just fine.
    This started yesterday, about 2 hours after I got my screen fixed, then went away on its own a few hours later, and came back this morning.
    Does anyone know what this problem is/ what I should do about it? I'm definitely going to go back into the store that fixed my phone and see if they can correct it.
    **I did not get my phone fixed at the Apple store, I went to a store called BuyNCell which specializes in repairs of Apple and Blackberry products. I got my screen repaired as well as changed the casing on my phone to white.
    Hopefully someone can help explain to me what's going on. Thank you!!
    If it really matters, here's what my phone looked like before it was repaired. Yikes!

    This may sound crazy, but download any free app.  This often "shocks" the other apps into working.

  • My earpods broke, and half of the silver part of the earpods got stuck in the headphone jack of my MacBook Pro.  Someone help me please!!!!!

    The end part of the earpods broke off, and now part of it is in the headphone jack of my MacBook Pro. The piece of the earpod in the headphone jack is too small and short to just grab it with my finger.  I need help please!!!! Thank you to whoever responds.

    There is no good way to get it out.
    I have successfully used a dental pick kind of tool to extract one. It took a great amount of fiddling, so you must be in a very patient mood.
    Others suggest the risky use of a blob of crazy glue to cement a "puller" onto the broken end. The risk, of course, is that if you get any on the jack, you are doomed.
    The guys at the genius Bar will sometimes try to get them out. No charge.

    You want to have a current backup of your iPhoto  library so that you don't lose all of your organizational efforts if your lose it for any reason. 
    Give the following a go:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Why is the google search now part of the address?

    I just did a Safari update and now the google search box is intergrated with the browser address.  I'd like it back the way it was, seperate.  Any way to accomplish this?

    Safari 6
    Smart Search Field. Safari now has one field for typing both searches and web addresses.
    Unfortunately there is no way to have separate fields for Google search and web addresses.
    Best.

  • Logitech MX1000 Bluetooth (part of the MX5000 bundle) with MBP- lag/erratic

    Hi,
    I have the MX1000 BT mouse. It connects fine and works well with Steermouse but Im experiencing lagging and erratic movement sometimes. Im using it with my MPB. Anyone experience this? Is there a way to correct it? any help would be much appreciated.
    thanks in advance.

    Hmm. That's strange. Anthony, if you're working fine then mine must be defective. it's actually ok most of othe time, but I notice the lags with the process is in use for example when a program is launch or some other processing happening in the background. The lags are never huge but you can see the cursor skips and jumps sometimes. Thanks for the feedback. Would love to hear more from the others.
    tirnszw, this mouse doesn't have USB or PS2 connection, so I can't test that.

  • Can't get the random part of the rotation

    I'm trying to get a movie clip to start at a random rotation
    when you click on a button. I got everything to work when the
    random rotation part is not included.
    Anytime I try to include the random code I get this error:
    "1180: Call to a possibly undefined method random.

    do a search on random in help and you'll find its now part of
    the Math class. Alternatively, have a look in the ActionScript 2.0
    Migration section in the Appendix, and you'll find that random()
    has been removed in AS3 and Math.random() is now used instead.
    Its used a little differently so its a good idea to look it
    up.

    Were you running iOS 7 beta?  If so, as a developer you need to log into the Developer forum for assistance.

  • My iDVD does not want to encode when I try to burn 2-part movies or series where I put 2 parts onto the disc. I was told before to use only Verbatim DVD-R, which I now do. Still having trouble.

    I was on here 11 months ago with the same encoding problem, where it would get to the encoding part of the burning and would stop, then up would pop up the "Open Finder" box, the one where it says you have put in an empty disc and would you like to eject it, ect.? I was told by the people I was in discussion  with that I should change from cheap dvds to Verbatim DVD-R only and I have, and  switch from "Magic iDVD" to "Create a New Project" and follow the directions there. I did that and for a while, it worked quite well. Now it doesn't. Once in a while there will be a newer movie that it will work on, but only a single and only a newer one that I have just downloaded. I download a lot of series from TV and used to have no problem. Is there any way to fix the encoding problem? I really need help on this and would really appreciate anyone who could give me assistance. And while I'm asking, are there any free cleaning services? I'm on a fixed income and can't afford to buy a computer cleaning service. I have gone to Disk Utility and gone through that, but that's all I can do.

    Hi
    There can be so many things that lead to this. As You download - then my first thought is
    In What Video-Codec ?
    There is no standard only out there but zillions of Codecs
    iDVD and iMovie are very selective in what they can use - sometimes they try and it looks like they manage - till the final DVD is to be tested in a standard DVD-player and fails.
    A. Open Your Movie (to be used) with QuickTime-Player (can handle so many more Codecs)
    B. If it play OK here - then Open Inspector [cmd+I] and read:
    Video Formatted (Codec) as: nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
    Frames per second: YY.yy
    What does they say ?
    Else what I can think of is in this note:
    Trouble-shooting guide
    When iMovie doesn't work as intended this can be due to a lot of reasons
    • iMovie Pref files got corrupted - trash it/they and iMovie makes new and error free one's
    • Creating a new User-Account and log into this - forces iMovie to create all pref. files new and error free
    • Event or Project got corrupted - try to make a copy and repair
    • a Codec is used that doesn't work
    • problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
    • version miss match of QuickTime Player / iMovie / iDVD
    • preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences
    • other hard disk problem - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but start Mac from ext HD or DVD)
    • External hard disks - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work with Video
    ( UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things - but not for Video )
    • USB-flash-memories - do not work (usually)
    • Net-work connected hard disks - do not work&#8232;(usually)
    • Run a Cleaning-DVD (no liquid - but the kind with brushes) - from time to time - I do
    • iPhoto Library got problems - let iPhoto select another one or repair it. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie.
    This You do by
    - close iPhoto
    - on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
    - now select all five options presented
    - WAIT a long long time
    • free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk to low (<1Gb) - I never go under 25Gb free space for SD-Video (4-5 times more for HD)
    • external devices interferes - turn off Mac - disconnect all of them and - Start up again and re-try
    • GarageBand fix - start GB - play a few notes - Close it again and now try iMovie
    • Screen must be set to million-colors
    • Third-party plug-ins doesn't work OK
    • Run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac
    • Let Your Mac be turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help
    • Turn off Your Mac - and disconnect Mains - for about 20-30 minutes - at least this resets the FireWire port.
    • In QuickTime - DivX, 3ivx codec, Flip4Mac, Perian etc - might be problematic - temporarily move them out and re-try
    (I deleted the file "3ivxVideoCodec.component" located in Mac HD/Library/Quicktime and this resolved my issue.)
    buenrodri wrote
    I solved the problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
    Last resort: Trash all of iMovie and re-install it
