New MBP on the way...... from China?

I got a notification that my MBP was shipping yesterday and today checked to see its status, excited that it was on the way. However, the Fedex Tracking information is showing it coming from China... Is this normal? I've never ordered anything and had it direct shipped from another country......
Thanks,
glenn

Yeah but China's quality assurance is sh*t
poor, if left to the local folks. Then again,
Apple's ain't too hot either!
Apple, and just about every other major computer design company/manufacture, including Sony, Toshiba, HP, etc have been making their machines in Asia for at least four years now, this isn't anything new. The last Apple to ship out of California plants was back in 2002 or early 2003 at the latest.
To be honest, there will be lemons no matter where you make them. If you want a machine made in North American, be prepared to fork over another $1000 per unit, so a MBP goes from being a $1800-3500 machine to being a $3000 to $4500 machine.

New iMac on the way - need reassurance!

Wow! I just found this forum and I'm dumbfounded. I finally decided to go with an Apple product after reading all of the glowing reviews and references to "life beyond the PC". I have a new iMac 24 on the way and holy c**p, I'm freaked. I read through some of the posts on here and think I just traded a PC problem for an iMac problem. I did not expect to see so many complicated issues with these new machines. I am not a power user at all. Some reassurance would be welcomed - big time!
Thanks,
Ozzie

I was in a similar situation, having purchased a 24" iMac after years of PC exclusivity. Let me tell you... you will carry an endless smile once you open up your new Mac and gaze upon its beauty. I never thought in a million years that I'd want an "all-in-one" computer - I built my last PC from the ground up. But once you open it up and set it up, you realize that it is not only a thing of beauty, but it also takes up a lot less space and just WORKS.
I admit that it took about a week to really get used to Mac OS, but most of that learning was accompanied by the thrills of realizing how much better it actually is. I was greatly impressed by the speed and usability of the OS right from the start. You will certainly not be disappointed.
If there's one negative thing, it's that I've had to purchase a number of software programs to get the machine to do all I want to do. For example, iPhoto is great at first - until I imported by entire photo library of 50,000+ photos and realize that it just slows to a crawl and is really not well-suited to very large libraries of photos. I broke down and bought the academic version of Lightroom 2(thanks to my son who is in school). Now THAT runs great on my Mac and is superb in every way (and has no problem with my large library).
I also purchased Parallels because I wanted to run Windows 7 alongside of OS X. Installation of Windows 7 with boot camp went well, and then I just pointed Parallels to my Boot Camp partition and was up in running. For those few programs that I need that have no Mac version, this is working great.
I also bought Paragon's NTFS driver because I wanted to read AND write to my NTFS external hard drives. It works seamlessly in the background, and working with NTFS volumes has been every bit as fast and easy as my Mac drive.
Finally, I purchased a MobileMe account and that has been absolutely wonderful. I can now sync my mail, contacts, calendar, iDisk, etc with my Mac, my Windows 7 in Parallels, my wife's new Macbook, and my iPhone. I guess it had some initial problems last year when it came out, but it's been working great now.
Enjoy your new Mac! I know I am!

New Features and New Bits on the way

I have the pleasure of sharing some really big news with the community. The teams behind the FlexUnit and Fluint projects have worked together to produce a new version of the FlexUnit framework that combines the best of both of these frameworks.
The new version provides all of the features currently available in both of these frameworks. Further, it is fully backwards compatible with both FlexUnit and Fluint tests, so your existing tests from either of these sources can be run without change. In addition, the new framework provides a cadre of long requested features, including:
• Metadata based Test and Suite identification (no more need to extend testcase or testsuite)
• Hamcrest matchers courtesy of the hamcrest-as3 project.
      More Info:
      • Hamcrest AS3: http://github.com/drewbourne/hamcrest-as3/tree/master
      • Hamcrest: http://code.google.com/p/hamcrest/
      • Hamcrest Tutorial for Java: http://code.google.com/p/hamcrest/wiki/Tutorial
      • Hamcrest Tutorial for PHP: http://sebastian-bergmann.de/archives/735-Getting-Started-with-Hamcrest.html
•Theories, DataPoints and Assumptions
      More Info:
      • http://shareandenjoy.saff.net/tdd-specifications.pdf
• Ignorable tests
• Enhanced Sorting and Filtering
• Enhanced multiple asynchronous support for any portion of the test setup/teardown or execution
• UIComponent testing facade
And, perhaps coolest of all, a complete extensibility layer for others to write their own custom runners. This means that community projects such as Fluint, FUnit, FlexMonkey or ASUnit could plug into the framework directly to run mixed suites of tests from various frameworks.
There will be information posted in the next couple of days on where to find the bits for a public alpha.
I am excited to see where the community can take a framework built for extensibility and to watch this new platform evolve.
Cheers,
Labriola

New MBP on the way, can I swap in a Macbook 320G drive?

I've finally made the move to upgrade my old white MB to a MBP (15"). About 4 months ago I upgraded the drive in the MB to a 320G Western Digital. All my software is up to date on that box. Is there any reason I can't swap out the drive in my new MBP for this one and be fine?
Thanks

Yup. Same issue, except with a 15" Unibody MBP HD to a 17" Unibody MBP... I'd upgraded to a WD Scorpio Black 320 GB 7200 RPM drive on the non-CTO 15 MBP, just having gotten all the settings perfect in CS3 and CS4, yada yada... the Apple Tech I spoke with about the exact same question responded: "A cloned volume or hard drive swap from the 15 inch MacBook Pro will be slower on the 17 than using MA... definitely use Migration Assistant. No question."
So, I did, despite a few Permissions issues... went from the nice 'n speedy 2.53 GHz, 6 GB RAM 15.4" Unibody MBP (I own 2 2.53 GHz 15s and now 2 2.93 GHz 17s also, one gloss and one matte, all 4 for my consulting biz), the non-clone, just simple Migration Assistant enabled transfer resulted in a nice productivity and speed boost with the first (glossy) 17" MBP, the 2.93 GHz uptick and 8 vs. 6 GB of RAM helped speed things up past the 15" more than the numbers might suggest, especially in p-shop, Aperture, FCP, Shake, and Nikon NX2...I'd stick with the long way home on this procedure, but I'm with ya on all the reasons to go with a CCC/Super Duper HD clone or simple transplant! :^/

New Mac on the way - Best method of moving data and apps?

Is the Mac Migration Assistant the best way to move over my data and applications from my old 13" MBP to my new 15" MBP? Or is it best to reinstall my apps manually?
Thanks in advance.

Use the Migration Assistant. Their are specific files not in the application folder that contain preferences and the like. The Migration Assistant will move over those preferences as well as the applications themselves. Plus it takes WAY less time.

New Mac on the way - Time Machine questions

Hi there,
My new Mac is now on its way from Apple and I just have a couple of questions regarding Time Machine:
1. My new Mac is a MacBook Pro with retina display which is going to replace an early 2006 Intel iMac running Snow Leopard. I was hoping to use my latest Time Machine backup external hard disk to transfer the data using Setup Assistant as the USB port is the only common connection between the two Macs (other than WiFi which I suspect will be a bit slow when used with Setup Assistant). Will Time Machine use the lastest incremental backup to populate the new Mac, or will it only look to the last full backup (I am only looking to import my user settings, iTunes music and iPhotos)?
2. Going forward, I'm trying to move to a more wireless setup. Previously my iMac used Time Machine on an external USB disk drive, however, I now want to use something like the Western Digital My Book Live connected to my wireless router via ethernet. From searching on the web, it seems this can be a bit hit and miss with both data transfer speed and reliability. I was therefore wondering if any of you guys have had any experience with using an external ethernet hard drive via a wireless router for use with Time Machine, and if so, whether you are able to recommend a particular model. My wireless router is a D-Link DSL-2740R which is ADSL2/2+ and 802.11n compatible.
3. If I do go down the route of the external ethernet hard drive, would it be best to purchase the Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet cable for the initial backup, as I suspect the first full backup would take a while over WiFi.
4. If there are issues with using a network drive, I guess the only other option is to use a Thunderbolt or USB 3.0 drive and then manually force Time Machine to back up when I am at home and can connect the drive (which could mean a while between backups). Unless anyone can offer any other solutions.
Many thanks for any help you can offer.
Steve

New iMac on the way

Hi everyone, I ordered a new iMac two days ago, my first Mac of any kind. The operating system and everything will be very new to me and my wife. I really didn't know which model or options but ended up choosing the 24" 2.93GHz with a GT 130 video card, and, wireless mouse and keyboard. I then started reading through these forums to gather information and noticed that maybe the wireless mouse and keyboard may not be a good choice right now. My wife will be using it mostly while I'm at work and worried if there are disconnect problems she will probably just go back to her PC. I want this to be a very possitive experience for her from the start. Can any of you recommend settings, hints, tips to get me going, especially with the wireless mouse and keyboard.
Thanks,
Tom

New iMac on the way, how to save itunes LIB from XP HD w/o resync iPod

I have 2 iPods, my PC had massive brain ****, saved the hard drive, stuffed it in an external enclosure, waiting... for an iMac to land on my door step... using another pc to try and keep iPod's charged, and Itunes wants to erase and re-sync the device. Can I save my licenses as well as the audio cd's I have ripped (and own), and iTunes library from my old hard drive? It seems even the loner XP machine on the external drive won't let me access the admin's doc's and settings...

If you have an ipod, connecting it to the PC should load the ratings back

New SSD on the way, want to install Snow Leopard. What disc do I need?

Hi,
I have a 2008 Mac Pro, currently running Leopard 10.5.8 but along with the Snow Leopard OS I have ordered a 128GB SSD that will be my primary boot drive from the moment it arrives.
Since the Mac Pro has 4 slots for hard drives I will just throw out an old 200GB SATA HD and put my current 1TB bootdrive in its place.
My SSD will be installed and I plan on installing snow leopard on it without prior erasing of my Leopard 1TB disk.
How can I even accomplish this?
It seems that (this is what I have taken from a few threads around here) I will need to have Leo installed to use the upgrade disc (which I qualify for, technically).
When I want to install Snow Leo on a fresh hard drive, is there a step in the installation that simple asks to put in our Leopard disc so the installer verifies we have it, then continues with the Snow Leopard install?
Thanks for reading,
I hope some of you can lift this confusion I am having here.
(never thought installing an OS could get this complicated)
M.

You can do what you want with either the $29 or the $9.99 upgrade disk. Leopard does not need to be installed.
To erase and install (see upgrade option below), start up to your DVD and stop after selecting your language. Use the menus to start Disk Utility and erase your drive. Quit Disk Utility and proceed with your installation. At the end, you will be able to choose to reclaim your settings, files, and apps from your original installation (on the external now) (plug in the external at the point of the last install restart).
Upgrading is a very sound process on a Mac. An upgrade is performed by installing over your existing installation from the desktop or having started from your SL DVD. All your programs, data, and settings will be present after an upgrade, but incompatible programs will be archived.

New heatsink yet random shutdown!!

Hi y'all,
So my MB was repaired 2nd time with the new heatsink part and this was on Oct. 3rd.
Today on Oct 13th the random shutdown has reappeared yet AGAIN.
I have just about had it this macbook.
Did any of yours had random shutdown after the reparation with the new heatsink part??
And do anyone know if I will be eligible for a refund and/or replacement since I have had to deal with this problem three times now?? (still in waranty period)
Thanks

jhawk - three possibilities. First, are you sure you got the newly designed heatsink? Oct 3 would be right about on the cusp between new heatsink and the old replace the logic board 'fix'. Second, assuming you did get the new heatsink your computer should then have been retested on diagnostics and a new logic board installed if it failed and if it passed it would be sent back without a new logic board. But it is posible that in some cases RSD is masking (and maybe even causing) logic board issues that don't show up on the diagnostics then but show up later. This could be your problem and if so after getting a new logic board your MacBook problems would be over. Third, and I hope this isn't it, Apple hasn't found all the causes of RSD yet.
It is still a little too soon to know about this either way. Based on past RSD repair experiences, if the redesigned heatsink does fix the problem we can expect to continue seeing RSD me too messages through October and probably into the first part of November but the frequency should begin to die down in November.

Is there a way to open a new window from the "Go" menu in Mavericks?

Before Mavericks, I was able to go from the Finder to the top menu "Go" -> "Utilities", or Applications or Home… and a new window would open.
Now I have to manually open a new window to avoid loosing my existing window.

Is there a way to open a new window from the "Go" menu?
First, as others have already stated.....make sure the checkbox is deselected for "open folders in tabs instead of windows" in Finder Preferences.
If you're like me and don't like tabs very much, there is a way to make folders always open in windows with a simple click (I'm using Mavericks 10.9.5). Go to a root folder (for example, the Documents Folder), open it, and select View > Hide Toolbar, then all folders within that root folder will open in a new window.
As an alternative method, any folder can be opened in a new window by holding down either Command Key while clicking the folder. But sooner or later you will forget to hold down that key, and then clicking on a folder will open in a tab (which will automatically resize the window and cause much aggravation).
The Hide Toolbar trick will also work with any folder present on the Desktop. It will make all folders inside that folder open in new windows.
To make the Applications Folder open in a new window when opening it from the menu bar at the top of the screen, you will have to open the main hard drive folder and use the Hide Toolbar trick. This will cause all folders inside it to open in new windows.
Hope this helps.
