If u have recent 2.2GHz SR-Black Macbook w/ x3100 card

can u confirm if your macbook does what mine does.
when i try to use one of the new iTunes visualizers after about 20 seconds it freezes briefly and then works fine, and photobooth is extraordinarily "slow".

Yeah PhotoBooth is defo laggy and slow especially when toggling between effects. iTunes visualizer is smooth for me however.
I guess PhotoBooth is a GPU intensive app even more so in Leopard and the MacBook is lacking either in proper drivers or in the GMA X3100 overall.
PS i have 2GB of memory.
PS 2 Safari seems to crash pretty frequently too

  • Have recently acquired an additional black MacBook, and installed Snow Leopard onto it. Trying to get it to connect via a plug-in USB wifi unit (poor reception on Airport) I have an extra Network Location which does not work.  How can I remove it?

    Need to get a second hand black MacBook connected.  Poor reception on Airport so tried a plug in wifi aerial. That didn't work, but now have  a Network Location I can't get rid of.  How do I remove it ?

    Hello my ginger,
    I tried what you suggested - but to no success.  The problem came up when I was re-entering the new settings.  If I left it as using DHCP it would run for a few seconds with no IP address, then drop in a 169.254 one which would not connect through.  To overcome this I tried using the 'Using DHCP with manual address' option and entered in an address which it had set up from the clone boot.  This appeared to be okay.  When I then tried renewing DHCP lease sometimes that address held.  When I tried connecting though - no sight of the internet, and the exclamation mark was across the wifi icon in the menu bar. If I switched it to Using DHCP it would randomly fall back to the 169.254 address. 
    The only significant differences I could see when cross checking all the settings info was in the WINS panel the NetBIOS had a slightly different configuration of the name - but as they ended in the same numbers I assumed they were the same.  And, when looking under Keychain Access, in the System section list (it also appeared in the login section) additional info box they had different locations - 28 characters in four groups.  I don't have a clue what this refers to.  Also the allow access list in the boot clone included System Preferences, but did not in the Snow Leopard boot, so I added it in.  With no success. 
    I am so frustrated I am thinking of giving up.  I seen have loads of postings on the net about a variety of problems with wifi connection on Snow Leopard.  I have version 10.6.3.  Did it get any better in later Snow Leopard ?  Or in any of the OS s after that ? It was always so easy and so solid under Leopard - why the h**l did they change it ?

  • TS2948 Does anyone have recent experience of getting a macbook air hinge replacement foc

    Does anyone have recent (2013) experience of getting a macbook air hinge repaired FOC ?

    I just tried to get my original MBA hinge repaired, but the Genius guy in Amsterdam said they stopped the replacement 1 1/2 years ago :-(
    Would have been appreciated if Apple could update the original note to indicate the extended warranty on the hinge is no longer in effect.

  • Good day.  I have recently moved over to a Macbook Pro running iTunes 11.1.1.  I have moved my library over from an external harddrive.  I can select the media type as audiobook for the selected albums but the selected media type does not stick.  Pls help

    Please help me resolve this issue.  Are there any other users that have a similar impact?

    Hi,
    Not true. ".m4b" files are protected AAC files as used by Itunes store.
    Audiobooks from Audible are either ".aa" or ".aax"
    Audiobooks imported from CD can be ".mp3" or ".m4a"  - when importing media type should be changed to "Audiobook"
    Therefore there is no need to convert file to ".m4b".

  • I have recently bought a brand new MacBook Pro and the battery will not charge

    When the magsafe adapter is connected. Has anyone else got this problem. N.B. The charging icon in the top right hand corner only displays the words (Not Charging)
    I have been told by Apple Care to try a PRAM reset and a SMC reset, but the light on the mag safe never turns amber, just stay lit green.

    Hi...
    At least try some troubleshooting before taking the Mac in...  these are very easy procedures to follow.
    Try here >  Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters
    And definitely try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    If that doesn't help, try Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM

  • Black MacBook power button?

    Hi
    I have a situation with a black macbook. I Describe it step by step to see if anyone can help me with a diagnosis.
    First of all I want to specify that I consider myself an intermediate user, since I work in consulting and training on the Mac, but 70% software and 30% focused on hardware and the problem that I face now is hardware.
    It is a 2006 black Macbook which HD died.
    - I changed the hard drive.
    - Until then, the power button always worked.
    - When attempting to install the system, I realize that the installer does not detect the hard drive attached, so I figured It was misplaced.
    - When tried to reinstall it, I realized that one of the rail that leads the hard disk had come loose and prevented the disk to properly get docked.
    - I disassembled the Mac to fix that.
    - I make the correction (I've dismantled several that model several times )
    - At the end I power it up, and nothing ....
    - The MagSafe connector is delivering power. I dismantled it again and check that it was well armed ... Everything is fine, but it will not start ..
    Any suggestions? Thanks in advance ..

    sorry for the repeats

    Dear Apple,
    I have an iPhone 4 32GB (black), i bought from softbank, japan. Now, I have recently finished a graduate and i'll comeback home in Laos. But i can't continue to use my iphone.
    Could you please help me to unlock my phone so I can use it with other carrier Sims. I would appreciate it.
    Please let me know if you could help me out. Thanks again.
    <Edited by Host>

    Like ckuan said, Apple does not unlock iPhone; your carrier does, provided that the carrier offers this service.
    Unfortunately, SoftBank does not offer authorized unlocking of iPhone.
    Your best option is to sell this phone and buy another iPhone from the carrier of your choice or better buy a factory unlocked iPhone so you would be able to use it with any compatible GSM carrier around the world.

    Try to do a reset, if it doesn't work try remove recently added apps this may solve your problem ( like google app because it has happened with me)
    Take a look at apps using your location service in privacy, it can cause battery draining.

  • Hello, i have recently purchased an ipod touch. i have bought apps off itunes and whenever i connect my ipod to my computer it syas that it is syncing.but the appa will not show on my ipo even though it has synced.how can i resolve this?

    hello, i have recently purchased an ipod touch.i  am having trouble with apps. i have bought apps off itunes but it wont appear on my ipod. i have synced the ipod with the computer multiple times but still no luck. i think it has something to do with my settings but i am not sure.please any helpwill be very much appreciated.thank you

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • My HP 5514 has recently stopped printing in black.

    My HP 5514 has recently stopped printing in black. The colors do print. I tried a new black cartridge which did not help. I always use HP cartridges. I have tried all the suggestions on the HP website. These include cleaning the printhead several times, cleaning ink smear, resetting printer, venting cartridge, etc.   Unfortunately, my printer is out of warranty. Also, when I try to align the printheads, I receive a message that they have not been aligned. The alignment page does not include anything in black so this may be the reason.  I do not find a latch handle to remove the printhead so I cannot remove it to clean it more thoroughly.  Any further suggestions or tips would be very much appreciated.  I noticed that other suggestions were sent by private message to other customers. I would appreciate those suggestions also if applicable.  

    @jelino 
    I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message after the weekend from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post ( serial numbers and case details)
    If you are unfamiliar with how the Forum's private message capability works, you can learn about that here.

    Yep. Exchanged for black and that solved it. Too much light leaks through the glass on the white phone.
