Macbook pro case fitting help
does the "Incase Neoprene Sleeve for 15-inch PowerBook and 14-inch iBook" fit for the macbook pro?
I wanted this one: http://www.stmbags.com.au/rebound but they do not have one for the MBP so someone reccomended this one: http://www.bitolithic.com/bags/index.htm this one looks great also. The seccon one might be a better buy because it comes with all the extra accesories, I am pretty sure that is the one I will buy.

Will macbook pro cases fit my white macbook
i didnt even think to look into this before i asked for a gift card for my birthday to the apple store to be able to buy a soft case for my white macbook.
do the pro cases fit?Most of them will fit, but some cases will be too tight because the macbook pro's are slightly thinner.
Take your laptop with you. The apple store staff will let you try the case before you buy it. (they do at my store). -

What's your favorite MacBook Pro case?
What’s your favorite 15” MacBook Pro case? I am looking for something small that will safely hold the 15” Macbook Pro and some accessory’s such as a mouse and AC adapter.
Bag n’ Tag It
by: Digital Dude
In today’s world of everything slim and integrated, more techno fanatics and Spartan travelers are embracing the minimalist approach. To that end, I was looking for an alternative to my bulky computer briefcase for travel. So, I ordered the “Buzz” by Tom Bihn.
Initially, I was a bit skeptical since the price of the Buzz is rather high for a nylon bag in today’s crowded market. Fortunately, the folks at Tom Bihn have an excellent guarantee with great customer service. If you receive the bag, and it’s not what you expected, simply return it without having to request an authorization. Try that with any other bag manufacturer!
Exterior:
My first impression after opening the box was that the Buzz is in fact, a very well made nylon sling-bag with attractive accents. The initial fit on the back and shoulder was comfortable, and the crossover strap is wide and it fits guys and gals without interference. It’s also nicely padded and has a large durable quick disconnect fastener below your left rib area. There is a smaller adjustable waist strap for a more secure and balanced fit. I found it wasn’t necessary for casual carry although quite useful when riding a bike or running to catch that flight.
Interior:
The Buzz has two main compartments with waterproof zippers that don’t snag and they seal very well.
The main compartment houses a unique padded panel with a fitted corner, similar to a fitted bed sheet that stretches over one corner of the MacBook Pro. The space between the computer holder and the zippered panel provides room for a book, magazines, documents, or even a small travel neck pillow.
The second zippered compartment is on the very back and is slightly smaller or stepped down from the main compartment. It includes the usual key strap and some angled stitched pockets for pens, business cards and one larger pocket that can hold a Passport or airline tickets, etc.
The third compartment is on the exterior right side and is made of elastic material and is designed to hold a bottle, small umbrella or equivalent. It also has two pull straps to further secure its contents.
Finally, there is a super convenient compartment in the center of the crossover strap with a Velcro closure. This is my favorite feature, since it holds your cell, iPod or more notably, the new iPhone securely across your chest.
Field Tests:
I harnessed the Buzz, adjusted the straps and wore it for a week in and around town. The Buzz and its sling design holds' the 15-inch MacBook Pro, cables, charger, etc. in a vertical orientation on the back. This permits full range of motion for both arms, unlike most soft-sided computer briefcases.
At times, I wanted to shift the load, so I simply reached around with my left hand and lifted up slightly on the bottom as I grabbed the ferry-loop (top strap) with my right hand. In this manner, you can easily adjust the tension on the crossover strap.
The Buzz shoulder bag is advertised as offering “moderate” protection, although it’s quite adequate for most common travel activities. However, I wanted to see if I could fit my MacBook Pro while stuffed in the Tucano “Second Skin” sleeve. To my delight, it fit nearly perfect as though it was made for “The Buzz”. This combination effectively increases the travel protection by at least 2:1.
Wish List:
Accessory provisions or lack thereof, is a shortfall with many bag manufactures. User’s end up stuffing their charger, cables and adapters into secondary bags which all end up at the bottom, resulting in disorganized clutter. I visualize a removable fitted panel with separate compartments or straps that hold a basic array of typical computing items. In fact, I ended up using one of my luggage toiletry panels to help organize my computer gear in the Buzz. It holds everything vertically and eliminated the pile at the bottom.
After field-testing, I decided this bag was definitely a keeper’. However, I would prefer a tighter fit of the MacBook Pro or a matching sleeve. I would also favor a more contoured and softer crossover strap with an exterior I.D. card and pen/pencil slot. Since I’m dreaming here, how about a less abrasive backside for improved comfort.
Conclusion:
The Buzz sling bag is a well-made, lightweight, ergonomic alternative to a backpack or the horizontal briefcase design. It holds most everything one might need for mobile computing while providing an excellent provision for Apple’s new iPhone.
Regards,
~DD

Recently I have noticed mysterious deformities to my macbook pro case. I have a 15" and in the 4 months that I have had it I have never dropped it but dents are started to appear in different places around the case. I always carry it in a case to protect it and I am very careful around so I have no idea what could be causing these dents and it is very frustrating. I was wondering if apple would be able to fix it or if they would be willing to exchange the computer because maybe its my particular case. Alright thanks for any help if you can provide it.
Hey LongPole,
Are you using a laptop bag? One that has it's own padded compartment? That is really what you need. I wouldn't just put it in with books. Either buy a sleeve or a bag with a compartment.

I've just got a new MacBook Pro, and want to have iTunes Match on it. But when I go to 'add this computer' in iTunes on the MacBook, a message comes up saying I've reached my limit of Match being on 5 devices. This makes no sense because I only have match on my iPad and my old Windows laptop and nothing else.
Out of curiosity, I turned off iTunes Match on my iPad to see what would happen, but I still cannot get Match on my MacBook Pro.
Please help!Do a backup before proceeding.
Try putting the 10.6.3 disk in the computer. During a restart, hold down the option/alt key, select the disk, and see if you can boot from there. If so, select the language, then go to the Utilities menu, and select Disk Utility. Check to see what partition scheme you have by selecting the hard drive.
If you don't have GUID, you are going to need to erase the drive and reformat, which will cause you to lose all your data. Did I mention doing a backup?
If you do have GUID, run Disk Utility repair disk and repair permissions. You may have to do this more than once. Then try in install 10.6.3.
If successful, use the combo update to get to 10.6.8 and then run Software update until there are no more updates.

115vac felt on my macbook pro case during charging
During charging of my new Macbook pro , a " tingle " is felt on the Macbook pro case. I am using a 3 prong power strip that has a ground led installed on the device and is "showing green" when plugged into the wall socket so I know the power strip is working properly. The power adapter for the Macbook pro is " two prong " device and has a " floating Ground " My XPS dell had the same problem and dell sent me a " 3 prong " power adapter which fixed the problem.
Please advise if Apple sells a " 3 prong adapter " to correct this issue.
-- Joe MNo damage. When opening the computer to change memory cards it is recommended that you touch anything metal on the case to discharge any static on your body. Obviously Apple wouldn't recommend this if it was at all likely to cause damage. However, extraneous charges on the actual chips, circuitry, etc can cause damage. These are all insulated from the chassis itself and things such as HD casing.

My Airport Extreme cannot be discovered by my macbook pro. Need help.
New, out of the box, the AirPort Extreme is broadcasting a wireless signal with a name like Apple Network xxxxxx.
If you want to configure the AirPort Extreme using wireless, you must log on to this network first from your Mac.
Click the AirPort icon at the top of the screen, click Join Other Network, click Show Networks, select the Apple Network xxxxxx and log on. No password is required. Then open AirPort Utility.
Or
If you have a spare Ethernet cable handy, connect it from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme to establish a direct connection. Then open AirPort Utility. -
Hey guys,
Questions that may get asked a lot, and I have read many many answers, but I can't really find anything to my specific needs.
2.2ghz vs 2.3ghz... not used for gaming, more for 3d home design, and some programming (java, C/C++, html, etc)... which would be most suitable? Would the 2.3 make that much of a difference regarding compile times or rendering?
Glossy vs antiglare... I think I've chosen antiglare already, but just a few more opinions will be nice. What could make it lean more to one compared to the other?
And last question, price plans/financing. I've been told Apple does financing for individuals, but I cannot find anything posted on the website. Have I misread something or missed it somewhere? Only reason I'm looking into this is because I am overseas atm and I can only pay in a few payments to not have my credit card frozen from large purchases online. No phone line, so harder to call too. I do live in Canada, however, I just want to try to have this before I get home.

While I don't do business with amazon, others find them to be more
reliable than ebay auction results. Local craigslists or second hand
computer stores can also be a source. Moving sales? Maybe.

I am getting white screen of death on my Macbook Pro, can someone help please?
I am getting white screen of death on my Macbook Pro, can someone help please?
Intermittent or inconsistent situations as you describe are the most difficult to resolve. First step you should do is be certain that you have your data backed up. I suggest that you do this by creating a bootable clone using Carbon Copy Cloner. The advantage to this is that not only is it a backup but can immediately be used to run your MBP in the event of an internal HHD failure.
The article that I gave you to start your search contains a link to this article:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3353
Though lengthy, it can resolve most issues if you go through all of the sections. If you cannot achieve success, then an Apple store genius bar is the last option.

I am having difficulty getting my scanner (HP5590 Scanjet) working with my MacBook Pro, can anyone help please. It did work alright with my IBM notebook.
There's a new driver bundle for OSX 10.6 that you might need to install, the HP link seems to be failing at the moment but there's a version of it here: HP_Installer_Scanjet_v2.4.3_Ph4.dmg
There's a piece on the HP Forum about it here (some folks have problems installing ...)
