Did anyone else buy this refurb model?

Congrats on your purchase. It looks like you got a sweet deal. That configuration is not even listed on the Special Deals link at the Apple Store. The others for the same price, have a lesser configuration.
Enjoy it as it will be a great machine.

Just ordered an MBP...

Hi everyone. I just ordered a 17" MBP with the high-res screen option. This will be the first Mac I've had since I sold my mini back in 2005. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on any software that you recommend. I've been using a Windows laptop since that day, and I'm really excited to be "coming out of the closet", as my Mac-loving professor says. I'm planing on installing Vista on it because I do game programming, which, unfortunately, still requires Windows. Is there any other essential software I'll need? For anything but programming I'll be in OS X. Thanks a lot.

Hi Kyle,
for Windows of course a decent Anti-Virus-Scanner
Maybe some free one, like AVG: http://free.grisoft.com/ or Avast: http://www.avast.com/eng/avast4home.html
That's essential, for the rest and also for OSX I would say:
The appetite comes while eating.

For backup and/or bootable backup I would propose getting a good external harddisc of decent size and use SuperDuper: http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
For OSX maintenance I use Onyx: http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs/english.html

How Good is MBP 1.83 I just ordered mine

Hi guys I just ordered my MBP 1.83. I just wont to know your impressions good and bad.
Mine is going to be with me in a month I hope I ship time will improve as I dont know if I can wait that long.
Thank you
Pedja

Thanks for your reply JPADILL. I think that MBP 1.83 is fast enough. I already have G5 tower 2.5 so I will use MBP when I travel. I got my crucial 1GB memory upgrade yesterday another month to wait for MBP.
Thanks again JPADILL for your impressions.

Just ordered MBP!

Hi guys! I just ordered my MBP last night! Yay!
It's the 2.2GHz i7 with the 1GB AMD graphics card. I got Hi-res and 128GB ssd for speed in mind!
According to Apple's pre-sales team the MBP I ordered will be able to run Snow Leopard, if it doesn't, I am going to be in for some headaches or get really lucky and have all of my apps work or be crowned king bug finder for Apple ;-)
Apple pre-sales also said the MBP's are shipping with Lion so hopefully I won't run into the upgrade headaches people are having... I just hope I have some sort of disk/flash media in the box to start fresh from.
I don't run any PPC apps, I use a wide variety of stuff (filemaker 11, CS5, VNC, Wireshark, ARD, Firefox, MacUpdate, 1pass, Teamviewer, evernote, etc.) they work great in SL, just not all of them may run as well on Lion. (checked via roaringapps.com) Will build full list later
What have been your biggest complaints/pet peeves in Lion?

Hang out in the Lion forums and find out:

Anybody gonna cancel order for 17"MBP C2D if shipping gets delayed again?

Just wondering if anybody else will want to cancel their order if our "updated" shipping date estimate is pushed back again. This is my first Apple (not including my ipod) and it has been a bad experience so far. I was looking forward to my new mac world but right now my trusty PC is looking better and better. If the delay was for something other than supply issues I might not want to get on this sinking ship.

I feel your pain...I ordered the new MBP C2D then cancelled the order, because I wanted to wait for some more feedback. I had ordered a custom configuration and when I called Apple to hold the shipment until I was got back to them they said that normally they won't do that and with it being a custom config it was not returnable. If i cancelled before shipment I would be able to in essence get a refund but in that case I wasn't even being billed for it since they don't charge the credit card until it is shipped. this all happened last night (sunday). I was made aware that if it were shipped anyway because it had already been built I could still return it for a refund since I had made the decision and it is on file with Apple before fedex got their hands on it.
fast forward to this morning.....Fedex got it before Apple pulled it from the loading dock......in the end, I don't really mind the situation. I will just drop it back at fedex. apple didn't pressure me into keeping it and even helped me expedite the return. I also don't need a replacement computer, so I am not in a bind.
Also, I guess, it i needed a new 'puter I would be ****** off with the delay....on the other hand, I would anticipate any delays or problems if I needed a new one.
good luck and hang in there....you won't be disappointed (i hope)

Refurb MBP questions

Hey all! I just got a "new" MBP and I have to say that so far, I love it! I just had a couple quick questions because I am comparing the MBP running Leopard to my old PBG4 running TIGER:
When the display sleeps, the LED near the open latch is on but very dim. When the MBP goes to sleep, then the LED pulses. I know the pulsing is normal, but is the dim LED thing ok?
Also, the problem with the first letter input being ignored, but I see Apple is working on it.
Because it's a refurb, I think I am a bit lucky: I ordered a 160gig HD and got a 200gig HD—but only 4200rpm. Has anyone had any issues with the 4200rpm drive? I was a bit disappointed in the information about the speed but have noticed no significant performance lag. I am thankful for the extra room, of course...
Has anyone else ordered a refurb and get extra "goodies" in their hardware??
Thanks for your time.

I recently purchased a new refurb. 2.2 GHz 15", running Tiger. I bought it off eBay for a further discounted price, yet it included the drop-in Leopard DVD. I haven't installed Leopard yet, for I'm afraid of running into issues with it. Maybe when 10.5.2 is released.
Regarding the LED on the latch, I have had the same experience. A little alarming at first, but I assume its just a MacBook Pro thing. I also upgraded from a Powerbook.
Other than that issue, I've noticed the trackpad is a little crazy when the computer is cold and sometimes it wakes from sleep a little sluggishly. This only happens when I close the screen, then open it again within a few seconds. Oh, and I have 2 dead "red" pixels. I intend to call Apple about this in the near future.
Regarding your hard drive, I'm not surprised you are having a positive experience. I have read that the new 4200RPM drives can be "just as fast" at 5400RPM drives.

I just ordered an iPad 4 32gb from Amazon but sold by a store called iPadShop. In the customer reviews there were several reports of this store selling used and refurbished iPads as new. How can i verify mine is new and not used when it arrives.?

Ok, first time here, so forgive me if Im repeating the question. I just ordered a NEW iPad 4 32gb from Amazon, but is actually being sold by a seller called "iPadShop". Although this seller got a high approval rating of 4.9 there were several reports of customers receiving used and refurbished iPads but sold as new. Once I receive mine how can I verify it is new. Also, even the ones that were new were purchased by this seller and then resold, which shortened the life of the 1 year warranty offered by Apple..?

If you just ordered it, I suggest you cancel your order as soon as possible. If you can't contact Amazon, call your credit card company and cancel payment on that. Why go through worrying about the ipad you are paying for as new? If it's to save money, then that can be defeated if you get a used or refurbished ipad with a less than full one year warranty. You'll be dealing with the ipad shop's return policy which could mean that once you open it, it's yours, unlike when you buy from Apple you have a full 14 days to return it even if you've opened it.
I looked at Amazon and did not see a price difference. If cost led you to buy from Amazon, what are you saving?
I suggest you buy it directly from Apple. If cost is an issue, consider buying a refurbished ipad from the Apple online Refurbished store. I would not buy a refurbished anything from anywhere but the Apple online refurb store.
The ipad 4 32 gb is $499.00 refurbished - a savings of $100.00 vs. a new one. We bought two ipads last year and one as a gift this year and they have been great!
All ipads sold in the Apple refurb store come with new front and back covers, a brand new battery, a full one year warranty, and in case it matters, come in a new white Apple box like all ipads do. Earphones and charger are also included. You can also get the new Apple Care +, which insures up to three breakages (damaged glass, water damage, etc.) in two years.
Hope this helps.

Just ordered new Macbook!

I just ordered a new macbook and I just have a question. I see there are a ton of rsd problems and there are some long waits on repair times. I was just wondering if anyone knows if this is something that is fixed with the new Macbooks that are shipping now, or is this still an issue? Thanks for your help!

Some rumors said that apple silently replacing the heat sink that when it become hot, it expanded and make contact and short the component and caused Macbook to shutdown. Or the heatsink is not that good to absorb the heat and make the MacBook shut down.
A lot of theory up there in this forum, some might be true and some just plain speculation (which is actually not propriate and allowed in this forum).
But from what I see, later Macbook production user is less in this forum to report their MacBook RSD (I'm not saying there isn't any), and I believe apple really listen and try to prevent it happen again in later production or previous one by creating newer firmware updater and maybe replacing parts to prevent the rsd occur anymore.
So Good Luck and enjoy your MacBook, not to worry with a ton of problem you read for there is a lot more happy user that not bother to post their glorious moment with macbook.

Just ordered a MP and need some "set-up" advice...

Hi All,
Like some, I waited all through Nov, and Dec to see if Apple was going to come out with an "octo" configuration and can't wait any longer. I just ordered one through Amazon as well as 2 extra gigs (2x1gb) of RAM from OWC. I will probably be ordering a couple of Maxline Pro 500g for a RAID 0 drive.
I am upgrading from a REV A iMac G5 and a MDD dual 1.25 G4. I use my iMac for design software (PS, AI etc.) and the G4 for FCS and iTunes. I have an extra 250gb HD in the G4. In addition I have a 250g external (usb 2...yuk) drive and another external 500g FW800 Lacie drive that I use for backups and an occasion PS scratch disk.
Does anyone have any reccomendations on a good configuration for design and Final Cut work using my existing equip? I.E. Should I keep the music on the G4, or use it as a backup? I have been doing so much research since the MacPro's came out that my head feels like it's gonna blow.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
P.S. If Apple releases the "Octo Mac" at Macworld, I'm gonna slit my wrists.

Of course we're not allowed to speculate here on these forums, but last I heard (SPECULATION!!!) was that the octo will be an upgradeable solution to those of us who have the current MacPros... but don't count on what I say - PLEASE!!
Anyway -- I've been trying to hang onto my G4 as a seperate and controlable tower for a while... I must say - I'm going to finally get rid of it asap. Few things to keep in mind...
You need SATA drives in the MacPro - I'll wager your G4 has ATA drives. Don't work in the MacPro - EXCEPT you can slide it in your lower optical bay under the DVD drive and link it there... it's an ATA bus thingie.
Here's what I did... I bought a bunch of 320gig drives for about 100us and hooked the two machines up via Gigabite ethernet. Then, just copied the files to the new drives. And actually -- speed was fast enough that I was able to run FCS with the media on the network drives. Workable solution for the short term.
Good luck,
CaptM

Macbook or Refurb MBP?

I currently have a 17" HP windows machine, but its quite enormous and it runs windows, so i want a mac as my secondary. i need to keep my windows pc for programming so i'm looking for a cheap mac laptop. I'm torn between a new macbook or a refurb MBP. the price difference isnt too much so i cnat decide what i want. could anyone offer me a suggestion?

It depends on what you want it for. If you want to do graphics and other related things I would go for the Macbook Pro with the 256mb video card. If you do alot of office work or writing then I would go for the Macbook.
But make sure that you get at least 160-200gb HD so you can run windows on it as well.
Then you will have two computers for the price of one.
Just remember that you need a windows OS with SP2 on it to install on the mac's.
All the MBP and MB come with the new intel core 2 duo chip now.

Just ordered iphone 4s online

I just ordered an iphone4s to replace my iphone4 w/ att, and i was just wondering if i will have to have a new phone number when it comes in the mail. or if i can place the sim card into the new one and keep the same phone number.. any info is appreciated ty.

Just follow these simple steps:
1) Connect your current iPhone 4 to iTunes for a complete sync and backup.
2) Move the SIM card from the old phone to the new iPhone 4s.
3) Connect the new 4s to iTunes, and select "Restore from backup".
That should duplicate everything that was on the old phone to the new one- apps, music, settings, the whole shebang.
Good luck!

Just ordered my Zen Visio

I just ordered my first MP3 player, the Zen Vision:M. I'm wondering if there is anything I?should get?for my player right away?that doesn't come with it's? Dock, charger, battery, etc. Sorry, I'm a newbie at this. Thanks!

Hello, Alas, I must say... send it back... My Zen Touch died last weekend, and this was the only resonable thing I could find with Creative that did not cost both arms and legs. I like it, but it has issues: I have around 2G of music and loaded in to my 30g M, but now it says I only have 9g left of space No answers on reasons, just lost... Can't port AVI's into it with their software. I'm going to try a third party program, but if you try getting .avi's or anything compatable... good luck! No case Don't buy the case they offer, it is a piece of ____. A belt loop No clip Controls are too sensiti've... way too sensiti've, can't select anything smoothly without errors. Easily scratched face... just a major pain. My Zen Touch was way better than this, and it came with a charger. You have to buy it as an excessory now and that sounds like an M$ move which sucks. Over all, I regret buying it but I'm commited now so I have to eat crow and suffer with all of the pains. I was trying to stay out of the I-Pod and Zune trap, but in this case, they both sound like better choices right now. At least their software works resonably well. Good Lick! :womanmad:

I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work. Help?

I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work.
^^ that's the main problem. Here's the full history.
I bought a new 13" i5 MBP, early 2011 edition. I had an old white Macbook 2.14 ghz core2duo on Snow Leopard. I attempted to port over my time machine backup, but encountered problems in that my User was inaccessible from the new computer after the import finished, and I had to go in and change the root password, etc, and for some reason or another, I couldn't install any programs at all from that administrator's account. By "couldn't" I mean I could install them, but upon installation they would never boot. So, I took it to the apple store and did a clean install from the most up to date Lion OSX. Then, I created a brand new admin account, instead of trying to import the old one, and things seemed great. Then, I just imported my old files from the TM backup, but not any system settings, permissions, or user data. Just my Docs, pics, vids, apps, and itunes stuff.
Here's where things get weird again. I imported this stuff under the name "old", but all of these folders have a red negative sign on them, marking them as restricted. So, from my main admin account, I cannot even peruse these folders. Since I didn't import user data, I can't sign in to the "old" account to change permissions. I already tried to change the permissions from system preferences, but that didn't change anything. And now, for whatever reason, of all the apps that were imported then, MS Office is the only set of apps that does not work. When I click on it, it just says there was a problem and asks if I'd like to send a report to apple. I tried reinstalling it to no avail. I'm an English student, so i really need access to Word. Can anyone help? The Apple store is a major detour for me and would like to fix this issue myself.

Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)
