I just got my MBP 6 days ago. When the battery is 100%, it says that the remaining time is only about 5 hours. Isn't it supposed to be higher?

I'm just wondering if my computer is defective? The battery life should be 9 hours, and it's not like I have a thousand apps open or anything.

Not quite. Please read the 'fine print', the operative words being 'up to'. Then if you read the criteria used to achieve that level you will find the the least CPU/GPU intensive application was used with nothing else open.
Furthermore, that time estimate is not very reliable since it reflects what is occurring at that given moment. That can be very volatile and can be observed by opening and watching Activity Monitor. I suggest you use the % option.
Ciao.

I got a IMAC 10 days ago, if the new one comes out what the chances for exchange?

I'm not sure about a restocking fee, but heard of people returning items for a new or differant one. they said they held your original payment as a credir toward your new order.. I'd just call them and ask. good luck.

I just got it on tuesday and this is the first time I've tried to charge it.

I just bought it on tuesday. This is the first time I've tried to charge it. It says it's not plugged in.

You haven't said how you are trying to charge your iPad. But if you answer above indicates you are using the supplied 10W wall charger and it is not charging, you may have a defective charger. If you are near an Apple Store, go there and get a replacement.

So I just got my MacBook 3 days ago. I recorded some gameplay from elgato and uploaded to iMovie every time in try to upload to YouTube it either says "Safari had to reopen do to problems" so I can't upload. Or it uploads for hours then says didn't covert

So what's your question?
Is the phone actually working? If it is then use it. If it isn't then take it into an Apple service provider for assessment. I guess if they ask you about it you can claim protection under the 5th amendment (assuming you are in the USA) - that's between you and your conscience in this situation. That's why the thing is full of liquid sensors, including ones you cannot see.

HT4972 I just got done successfully syncing my iPhone for the first time to my mac but when I clicked update it had a notice and I want to know if it will delete my music if I continue to update.

The pop up says
"Updating to iOS 5.1.1 will delete all of the apps and media, including iTunes Store purchases, on your iPhone. To preserve your content, apply this update on the computer where you sync apps, music videos, and photos.
Updating on this computer will only preserve contacts, calendars, text messages, and other settings. Please do not interrupt the update, which may take an hour or longer to complete. iTunes will verify the software update with Apple."
What do I do now? My only options on the pop up are cancel or update.

After the update you sync your content back to your phone. It should all be in your iTunes library & thus there should be no issues putting it all back on your phone.

My brother purchased new ipad 4, 5 days ago and the sim tray stuck very first day. I gave it to jaipur service centre for repair and they are asking for 20000 Rs (price of ipad mini for just sim tray repair). What should i do?

Dear All,
My brother just purchased an ipad4, 5 days ago and the very first day sim tray stuck. When i sent it to jaipur (rajasthan) service centre, they asked Rs 20,000 for repair and issuing new tray. This is the cost of new ipad mini, and they are giving me just one tray. It is also approx. half of the price of new ipad4. Even the new ipad is just 5 days old and should be repaired for free. If not free, is Rs 20,000 is fair?
Please tell me what should i do?
Thanks!
[email protected]

If the service center determined that the SIM socket was damaged by your brother, as would appear to be the case, and not due to a factory defect, they will charge for replacing the entire iPad, not just for the SIM tray. Apple at this time replaces the iPad for just about any problem, and charges a flat fee for doing so.
If this service center is one authorized by Apple, your brother can try calling Apple Support India at (91) 1800 4250 744 and discussing the situation with them. Ultimately, though, it is the technician's judgement as to what caused the problem, and Apple will usually take the word of the technician when it comes to determination of user-caused damage.
Regards.

Just got my MBP 17" !! General Q's

I am a total green-horn with Mac computers. I just got my computer tonight, via UPS. I was glad my custom MBP 17 was assembled in China rather than Japan right now, too. I opted for 2.3GHz, 8GB RAM, Anti-Glare, 7400rpm 500GB.
I haven't used it too much yet, just general navigating. I clicked on command +esc and suddenly movie trailers popped up and so I watched a couple! I love the screen, no choppiness on the streaming, sharp image! Stellar! Then I tried it out my new (arrived 2 days ago) Boog Taipan Slim L bag and man it is slick! Looks like I have a 13 inch MB in there! Highly recommend the Boog bag!
Anyway would anyone by kind as to supply a link where I can learn setting up preferences, finding sys files and folders... I want to cross-reference what I know about my old XP system. I want to know my way around ASAP if possible.
FOR EXAMPLE: I downloaded firefox 4.0 and it installed fast and fine. However, after following the instructions, clicking on the installer and dragging it into App folder I STILL saw FIRE FOX icon on my desktop and I can't delete it. I didn't know if I did something wrong so I downloaded it again and reinstalled. Now I had TWO firefox icons on the desktop with a (1) to denote the second.
I am of the habit to check MY DOWNLOADS in windows and save and or delete files as I go.
However, so far I don't know how to do this type of stuff on my new MBP's OSX.
I clicked on the DOWNLOADS area by the TRASH Bin.... but I couldn't delete it there. I WAS able to delete the second installer labeled with a (1) after it. If I click both firefox files on the downloads area, it brings up the (1) installer again. Also, I can't seem to delete the FIRST firefox installer at all, the TRASH turns into an EJECT symbol???? Weird.
When I click on the firefox installer on the desktop, it pulls up its window and off to the right, there is a file dir... at the top, the dir reads, MacIntosh HD, then FireFox ... it appears OSX is reading the firefox installer like a sys folder??? Should I uninstall firefox and reinstall a new preferred way? Or is this normal when downloading programs????

1) Firefox 4 ***** (Windows Vista anyone?). Firefox destroyed Firefox with Firefox 4
2) Safari > Chrome > Firefox 3.6 > all
3) The only reason why it's made in China is because of cheap labor and sweatshops. A ton of high-tech stuff inside your iPod, iPhone, Mac, you name it are made in Japan.
4) People need to stop freaking out and stop worry about "what if" and actually have some sort of feeling or compassion for the ones who are actually affected and are living there, people who lost their lives and people who risk their life right now as we speak.
5) Grats on your new Mac.

TS1702 I just upgraded a full version of "ISO Fits" app from App Store 2 days ago but the upgrade wasn't successful. I reported the problem to the developer but had not received any reply. What should I do?

1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now?

Just got my MBP from Fedex!

I just got my Mbp from Fedex dubbed 'Dualie'. I am happy to report I do not have the whine! I am currently calibrating the battery and I will report if I have any issues within the next few hrs to days.

I found this site with the recorded whining sound. I had found a better site but can't find it now. I'm expecting my MBP Wednesday. This is going to be my first Mac and I'm really looking forward to it. I'll be posting here as soon as I receive my in.

When i try to add music from itunes to my ipod itune tells me the music on my ipod came from a differnt libray and wants to erase my whole ipod. i just loaded my ipod two days ago. i don't want to replace everything every time i want to add to songs

When i try to add music from itunes to my ipod, Itune tells me the music on my ipod came from a differnt libray and wants to erase my whole ipod. i just loaded my ipod two days ago. i don't want to replace everything every time i want to add two to songs. My MacBook Pro is the only autherized computer.

To prevent a sync when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - hold down the 'option' and the 'command' keys when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - key the keys down until the iPod/iPhone is listed under the Devices list in iTunes - this will prevent a sync from taking place and you will be able to change your settings.

I just got a MBP Retina. At it's highest resolution, everything is tiny. The olny way to get things to a readable size is to lower the rez, but that defeats the purpose of having it. Am I missing something?

It doesn't defeat the purpose to lower the resolution. When you choose the size you can read, the extra pixels are used to make the text and graphics more detailed, closer to the high print resolution humans have been accustomed to reading on paper for hundreds of years. That is the difference compared to the coarse screen resolution of a conventional (non-Retina) screen.

I have elements 9 and just a day ago everything was fine but now all of a sudden any time I try to convert or save my project or even burn it to a DVD the program shuts down on me.

Is the crash/shutdown for this one specific project or does it occur in new projects as well?
On what computer operating system are you running Premiere Elements 9 and are you running Premiere Elements as the 9.0.1 Update?
In cases such as these, the first factor to rule in or out are the preferences/setting file. Here you want to delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file.
The directions to its location will vary with the operating system. So the operating system information is important to post. Some of the many factors
that we need to evaluate
a. does the problem exist with and without antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
b. are you using a pen and tablet device instead of a mouse.
c. does your computer need a clean up/clear out - is your computer optimized
Your answers to the questions above will help us to customize and plan appropriate troubleshooting strategy. So, let us start with the above and then decide what next.
Thank you.

I'm a MAC beginner; embarrassed to ask: Although Word, Pages,Key note show in my app list, they won't open. With Word, I get a pop-up that says it won't open, and then has numerals 1712. Just downloaded Flip Player 2 days ago..what should I do pls??

It is possible the versions you have are not compatible with your new Mac. Could you please tell us the following:
1. What OS are you running.
To get this info, click on the Apple on the top left, then select About This Mac. The OS X version is there.
2. What are the versions of the apps that are giving you problems?
To get this info, double click on the hard drive icon and open the Applications folder. Select an application and right click on it. Then select Get Info. The version number is there.
Version number:
Not sure I understand your reference to Flip Player - this is not related to the "won't open" problem, is it?

I just got my MBP 6 days ago. When the battery is 100%, it says that the remaining time is only about 5 hours. Isn't it supposed to be higher?
