MBP 13in Just Got It-Quick Question

I am having a stupid moment. Just got the 13 in and I have the 15 in MBP. I somehow got the App folder on the Dock which is where I want it. I have tried to put the App folder on the dock on the 13 in but it just isn't happening. I have tried to drag to the dock it from the side bar and any other place I have found it. Just won't go on the dock. What am I doinf wrong?

Dragging it to the wrong part of the Dock, perhaps?
It needs to go to the right of the divider if the Dock is at the bottom of your screen, and below the divider if the Dock is at either side of the screen. You can't put it in the area where your individual app icons are.

Just A REal Quick Question

Hey Folks,
I just have a quick question... LoL, like the subject header thing says...
Does anyone know where i can find a list of games that will run on just a macbook?
so that i don't have to go through every game and look at the specs.... i can just look at the list and jump to that game and see if i want to buy it...

try google searching ...."games that work on GMA 950 chipset" which should produce a wiki page
the GMA 950 is the graphics card in Macbook and is poor for gaming as I found out but GOOD LUCK

Hey just have a quick question that is ios7 coming on ipod touch 4g I heard that you guys didnt design ios 7 for ipod touch 4g so are u gonna design it or its never gonna come for ipod touch 4g

hey guys just have a simple question that i heard that ios 7 is not gonna come for ipod touch 4 they didnt design it for ipod touch 4 so are you guys designing it or its never gonna come for ipod touch 4g.
Thanks,

As posted on Apples website since early June, the ipod touch 5th gen is the ONLY ipod that can handle ios 7.
No other ipod has the required hardware.

Hi jbobst,
if you go to the support site, http://support.lenovo.com/us/en, or click on support at the top of the forum you will be able to search on the model type of your system after selecting Search by Machine Type Model.
If your system is a CTO, Configured To Order, this wont unfortunately tell you which OS was preinstalled in which case you can use Parts Lookup; this will usually state which OS was installed. For Parts Lookup only the first 4 characters of the MTM are required.

Some quick questions before purchase of MBP

Hey Guys/Gals,
I've been a PC user all my life, but will now be making a permanent switch to Macs. I've been wanting to buy a MBP since they have been released, but have been hesitant (like many others I think...) about the issues of whine, extreme heat, warped screens etc...
With the recent updates of the logic board and even battery, I think I'm ready to go for it. I just had some quick questions before I place my order:
1. I could order my MBP from the computer store at my university. Do you guys think that will get me the newest possible MBP or will they maybe get me one that they have had in stock for ages? I really don't want to get stuck with an outdated logic board and/or battery. Is it safest just to order directly from the site?
2. Although the issue with really hot MBPs seems to have gotten better, I am still quite shocked that people say that temperatures well above 70 Celsius are "within spec". I understand that Apple officially states this and that the Intel chip can handle up to 100 Celsius, but this seems crazy to me Basically, I want to ask if I am correct in my observations that the new Intel chips don't get much hotter than other chips around, but rather Apple has chosen to set the temperature mark that sets off the fans pretty hight (around the 70s if I remember correctly?)
I would assume that in following their "mission" of creating beautifully designed computers, Apple also wants to have a really silent one. Now I'm all for a quiet machine, but I feel as though if fans were on either (a) all the time or (b) when the CPU reaches the high 50s lots of people would be happier.
Anyway, it's just a thought. I noticed there are lots of experts around here, so I'm just interested to hear what you guys think about this approach that Apple seems to have taken. I don't think the heat will stop me from getting this amazing notebook, but it certainly is a little frustrating.
Any responses are greatly appreciated.

No matter where you take possession there's no assurance of when the machine was manufactured. There is really just as good a chance of getting a perfectly good computer regardless of place of purchase. If there is a problem it's covered under warranty. You can have the computer replaced within the first two weeks. Afterwards they will replace or repair. Without Applecare's extended warranty the computer is warranted for one year after purchase.

You are wrong in your assumption. The Core Duo's maximum temperature is 125C before shutdown. Normal operating temperatures according to Intel's own documentation is 50-70C under average load. MBPs under heavy load will typically reach core temperatures over 80C. Then there's the added heat from the hard drive and GPU. The aluminum case acts as a partial heat radiator hence the case temperatures can get high. The MBP User Guide specifically states this and issues a warning about using the computer on one's lap.

Now I'm all for a quiet machine, but I feel as though if fans were on either (a) all the time or (b) when the CPU reaches the high 50s lots of people would be happier.
In fact the fans in the MBP are very quiet at least mine are. Unless you are in the hardware design business with intimate knowledge of using Core Duo chips in portable computers, then your observations, although certainly your opinion, are not based on anything factual.
Anyway, it's just a thought. I noticed there are lots of experts around here, so I'm just interested to hear what you guys think about this approach that Apple seems to have taken. I don't think the heat will stop me from getting this amazing notebook, but it certainly is a little frustrating.
More likely there are a lot of people around here who think they are experts. As the remark goes, "An 'expert' derives from ex, meaning 'has been', and spert, meaning 'drip under pressure.'"
You'll read lots of opinions on these forums. Don't take for granted that everything you read is factual or truth. A lot of the opinions expressed are without any basis in fact.

Some quick questions before I purchase LE8..

Hi all,
I'm a longtime mac user and I just got into music production. I plan on mainly making Hip Hop beats and also record me playing bass on sampled tracks. I have already purchased an audio interface( PreSonus Firebox 6x10) and some monitors (KRK RP5's). I'm going to be purchasing LE8 and a MIDI keyboard soon, as well as a turntable for sampling vinyl sometime this week.
I got some quick questions though. If I'm loading samples off vinyl into the ESX24 sampler in LE8, what program can I use within LE8 to cut the desired parts of the sample? Then assign them to my MIDI keyboard or Akai MPD24.
I plan on hooking everything up to my 2.16ghz w/2MB Macbook and was wondering if it could withstand Logic. Also, will I need to update any drivers for the firebox? I remember reading problems about it working with Logic.
Any help would greatly be appreciated. If any Hip Hop heads here have any tips/ suggestions, lemme know!
Thanks,
JC

I'm not a big expert on audio recording, but other than the video card (which would not be a big factor for audio) you can't really upgrade it to much further than what you specified. You could increase the internal storage, but I've always been inclined to keep most of my personal files (things I am not actively working on now) on an external drive, and keep the OS, applications, and my current ongoing work on the internal drive, along with plenty of free space. I think that improves performance. If you did get the larger internal storage option, you might consider partitioning it into two volumes. You could keep your OS, apps, ongoing work, and that free space on one volume, and use the other volume for the long-term storage of your user files. Or maybe for your audio work, it is better to have a separate volume that is a dedicated +scratch space+, so if you had the larger internal drive, you can use that space more flexibly.
One other consideration is the CPU speed. There is really very little difference between 2.93 GHz and 3.06 GHz. It's about 4%, but in the real world, the performance difference is probably even less. So you could trade the $150 for the slightly faster speed and get the extra internal storage for $100, saving you $50.
Also, the online store has a page for clearance and refurbs (Special Deals). For example, this one is currently listed
http://store.apple.com/us/product/FB419LL/A?mco=MjE0NDk5Mw
It is the current gen iMac model. Note: Many of the items on the Special Deals section are previous generation Mac models (so keep that in mind if you look at other listings). My current iMac is a refurb. In my experience, the one Mac and two iPods I have purchased as refurbs have looked new. They just come in a plain brown box instead of the fancy retail packaging. The warranty is the same as new.

Games on MBP or just MB

Hey guys I just have a quick question. I am debating between getting the MacBook Pro 17" and the Black MacBook. I'm mainly looking to do some gaming and the only game I've really noticed that the MacBook can't play that the MacBook Pro can support is Crysis. I want a Mac really bad and was just wondering what would be the better choice. I also want to use it for editing photos and making movies. If anyone has any feedback about gaming on their MacBook Pro or their MacBook if you can let me know if getting the pro is needed that would be great I don't want to spend the 2799 but if its needed than I have no problem spending it I would just like to know if it Is needed. If you guys can help me out at all it would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks guys.

If you can afford it, defiantly go with the Mac Book Pro. I've owned both. The MacBook Pro has dedicated graphics circuit with it's own memory. My old MacBook's fan would run wide open just watching YouTube videos. If you want to do video work too, you need the extra power the MBP can provide. I would put 4G of RAM in it also. You can buy third-party RAM and install it yourself to save money.
Wait until Tuesday's Macworld announcements. You may be buying a new laptop just at the right time--especially if upgraded MBPs are announced.

Quick question about showing drive space

Hi,
Just got a quick query about showing remaining drive space on the desktop.
Before I wiped my Pismo and reinstalled Tiger (bad kernel panic), my hard drive and any other connected drives (pen drive, iPod, iDisk, etc) showed up on my Desktop with the name and drive capacity and remaining space underneath the icon.
Now I've reinstalled, the drive capacity and remaining space don't show up on the Desktop, and I can't find how to turn it on. I've been through Preferences several times and can't find an obvious switch. Have I missed something? I'm running Tiger 10.4.8 with the machine spec below.
Thanks in advance,
Rob Johnson

Sometimes, for no obvious reason, the Finder can be slow to update. And sometimes it updates instantly. Why? "Only the Shadow knows...." or maybe the Apple programmers.

Quick Question (re:exporting from iMovie into iDVD)

Hello everyone!
I just have a quick question for you all... (I want to see if this is normal - I'm on a deadline and this is kind of freaking me out)
So, we have a 20 minute or so video in iDVD. It plays fine, etc etc. The goal is to burn it to a DVD.
I used the "Export -> to iDVD" function in iMovie, which launched iDVD.
But here is the weird thing: nothing comes up in iDVD. It doesn't make a new file, doesn't give me anything... it is just open, waiting for me to create a new project to work with.
YET, if I look in the Activity Monitor, I do see that EncoderServer (using 123% CPU) and ThumbnailServer (both iDVD processes) are running.... but shouldn't iDVD have told me it is working or that it is dealing with data?
This is very un-"apple". I totally would have expected a progress bar of some sort in iDVD telling me it is working or something.... or is something wrong and I should try to export it in a different way?
(I guess the underlying question is: when you export from iMovie to iDVD, does iDVD normally give you any 'heads-up' that it is working? how long does it normally take to open the project in iDVD?)

Hi Matt!
when you export from iMovie to iDVD, does iDVD normally give you any 'heads-up' that it is working? how long does it normally take to open the project in iDVD?)
Yes, and it's instant.
What you should see is iDVD opening and asking you to create a new project, It will suggest naming it the same as the iMovie project.
There are reports that exporting from Imovie to iDVD can produce problems. What I do is save the iMovie project and close iMovie. Open iDVD, create the new DVD project, then go the File menu in iDVD, scroll down to Import, and in the side menu select Video. This open your Movie Folder, wherein resides your iMovie project. Select it and it imports into iDVD in a flash.
Remember: iMovie projects go in the Movies Folder, iDVD projects go in the Documents folder. Change that, and they get very confused and unhappy.

Quick question when purchasing prints through iPhoto

Just a real quick question.
When I select photos I want to purchase from my iphoto collection, i know it hooks into Kodak. My question is, is an account created for me on Kodak's site that keeps my collection and allows me to log in from anywhere to view photos, buy photos? Does it allow me to share albums that friends and family can view and buy photos from as well?
I've never used the service before, but I would like to, assuming it allows me to do the above stuff I mentioned.
Thanks,
Jason

Create an album and drag the photos you want to print to it, crop them to the print dimensions, select all of the photos in the album and order your prints

3 quick questions - Auctions

Hello everyone, I just have 3 quick questions based on our customer needs:
1 - Can the bid in a LAC (auction) be done in percentage and not in currency?
2 - Using lotting, can the bid be on the lot itself instead of the itens?
I mean, if I have done lotting with 4 itens, and the total of the lot is 500 USD for instance. Could the bidders bid on this lot instead of the itens (I would like to 'hide' the itens from them)?
3 - Is the bid value from the auction winner replicated to the origin RFx?
I mean, lets say on my original RFx we have 3 bids:
1 - Vendor 1: at 8 USD
2 - Vendor 2: at 10 USD
3 - Vendor 3: at 6 USD
Then, I decided to create an auction between vendor 1 and 2, and the winner is vendor number 2, with 5 USD.
The next step is to create the Contract or Purchase Order, but is the 5 USD information sent to the RFx?
Assuming I want to create the Contract or Purchase Order in SAP ERP, normally you create these documents based on a RFx response.. but if I have the 'old' bid on the RFx as the responses, how can I create the Contract with the auction winner price?
Thanks for any input!
Regards,
Ricardo Sancio Lóra
Brazil

Responding myself, I think questions #3 is not possible based on this phrase from SAP documentation: "After conversion, the RFx is set to the status Completed and no further changes can be made to it."

Just Got New MBP and need to reinstall Software

I just got a 15inch MBP and installed Final Cut Studio 2 which I did not know was 55 gigs. I want to install it on an external HD so I want to reinstall Leopard with my disc I received when I bought my MBP from Apple. Will I still get all of my extras such as ilife with my install disc and will it restore it to factory (as I received it when I first bought it?) Thank you!

An 'erase and install' will remove EVERYTHING from your harddrive, and if you've already got Leopard installed, that's your only option.
Reintalling Leopard will NOT install iLife; to my knowledge there are no Leopard+iLife 08 install DVDs. . . just Leopard DVDS. I may be wrong, as I have an old Mac and not a new one, which may come with a software package I've never seen (but I'm getting my GF a new MBP for Christmas!!). I think you need to (and should have) a seperate iLife 08 disk with which you can reinstall iLife.
A couple of questions and some advice:
-I assume you have at least a 120gb harddrive. Why do you want to install FCP2 onto an extrnal DVD? If you plan to use that space to store media, it would be a better idea to store the media (i.e. the video footage, etc) on an external drive and keep your FCP application on your internal HD.
-Also, if you are going to run FCP on an external HD, get a FIREWIRE 800 external HD. They are quite a bit more expensive, but I had a LOT of problems just using FCP1 to edit footage stored on an external USB HD . .. I can't IMAGINE the problems you would have running FCP2 off of a USB external HD.
-Thinking about it again, where are you going to store your footage? On the same external HD as FCP? I think that will work . . .
Looking forward to hearing more!

Two questions from newbie (just got my Zen Micr

Hi, just got my Zen Micro after reading up on lots of players. Two quick questions if i may:-
. Why the difference in keyboard icons? I notice on some that the 'back' button actually has the word 'back' written on it whereas others only have the arrow.
2. After i've charged the player (for 5 hours minimum on first charge?) should i immediately update with the two firmware downloads before adding songs?
Thanks in advance
Jaff

jaf089:
. The face plate has changed, presumably for international markets where people don't speak English.
2. The player will be charged in a maximum of 4 hours. The way to tell its charged is once the charging icon and glow stop, wait another 30 minutes for the final slow charge, then it will be ready.
You don't need to update with two different firmware updates, you can go straight to an update without one beforehand.
The .0.03 update fixes a battery charging bug, if you don't have this already, but allows the player to stay accessible with MediaSource.
The v2 updates give the player MTP access (driverless access with Windows XP and Windows Media Player 0). Be warned though, some people have had stability problems with both the connection and software after this upgrade.

I just got new screen put on my 13in macbook pro when i opend it up there is no data on it? how do i get my data back

I just got to school after getting a new screen put on my 13in macbook pro. when i opend up my macbook there was only a apple simble and the loading sing with a bar at the botton it took fovere to load, one it loaded and opend up there was a few options to pic from saying i could get all my datata back, i got confused and called the tec support where they wanted me to spend 90$ to back up my data, i feel as if they fixed my screen my data should be there when i go on it. I am a broke colage studend and need to get my work done. To sum it all up How do i get all my data back that happend to get lost while my screen was being repaird at the apple store?

Apple has a 90 warranty warranty on all of their repairs. You should take your computer back to the repair shop. Or call Apple Customer Relations (800) 767-2775. Wait for a human to come on the line and ask politely and firmly that you want to be transferred over to the Customer Relations department. Tell them your issue.
