No Problems at all...
Just thought I would chime in with my experiences with the MPB...
I know this is a support forum for people with problems, so this thread might get deleted.
I've had my MPB for three days now and I am very happy with it.
It is quiet; no buzzing sound. The speakers are typical laptop speakers, read acceptable. I personally use headphones.
It is slightly warm. I'm typing this message while it's on my lap. The most heat comes from the speakers. But it just warm to the touch.
The viewing angle is fine. I have the MBP on my lap and can see the screen fine. I would guess that the angle is about 112 degrees.
The display is outstanding. I turned the brightness down a few notches.
The speed. Amazing. It boots to the desktop in about 30 seconds. Rosetta is hardly noticeable. Meaning, it just works. I've loaded Halo and it runs fine under Rosetta.
I've owned 6 Mac portables in my 20 year experience with Macs and I find this laptop to be the best I have used. To say that I am pleased is an understatement.
MBP 2.16,256MB Video,1GB memory,100GB 5400RPM HD Mac OS X (10.4.5)
Here's my experience after 2 days with a MBP...
Picked up the computer from FedEx at 7:00 P.M. Wednesday. Got home and used the migration assistant to move the contents of my 1GHz PB 17" over.
Had several Preference Panes that the Migration Assistant flagged as problems (FruitMenu, Application Enhances, Flip4Mac WMV, WinShortcutterPrefs, MS Keyboard and Mouse, Version Cue CS2).
Played with the machine for about an hour and made sure all of the applications I use daily would run.
The MBP runs Photoshop CS2 faster than my 1GHz PB 17" unless I open more than 5 or 6 images at the same time (8-14 MB each).
Only one application was an issue: Apple Remote Desktop (ARD). I'm a graphic designer and also teach college courses in the evenings at a local community college. I use ARD extensively in class - I can take control of a student's computer and walk them through a technique or watch them try a technique and see what they may be doing wrong.
ARD launched but asked for the administrator password. Entered the password and it crashed. A little digging showed that ARM is one of the programs that Rosetta does not get along with. I can't find anything on Apple's site showing when ARM will go Universal. This is not a big issue as I teach using my notebook but there is also a dual G5 that most of the other instructors use when teaching. I'll use the G5 to run ARD.
Last evening (day 2) went to class and taught FreeHand. Everything went smoothly until I tried to connect to the school network. I was unable to see any of the printers or computers on the network. After trying the usual things I plugged the network cable I had been using into the G5. It could not see anything either - so the problem was not with the MBP.
The MBP runs no warmer than my 17" PB, or the 15" TiBook I had before that.
This is an impressive piece of equipment.

I have just updated to Yosemite, but now I can't get the custom short-keys to work.
In Mavericks I had no problem whatsoever, but now even after googeling and restart no solution.
Does anyone have the problem? All the other shortcuts work!Hi Thomas,
I can confirm the problem you are hitting. The XML test trace does not get recognized at all, and it defaults to Eclipse's basic Open File behaviour. I am not sure if it's because the format definition is missing, or if it's because something prevents the trace type from being recognized. I will open a bug about it.
Thanks for identifying this issue!
In the meantime, if you'd like to experiment with XML analyses, you can also take a look at the example at https://github.com/tracecompass/xml-analysis-example .

I have Iphoto '09, version 8.1.2 (424). I am having an identical problem. All my pictures are imported into Iphoto when I downloaded them from my camera. Until recently, I thought that the pictures were actually saved in the library. Since I need to crop my pictures for the web, and Iphoto doesn't do that, I purchased Photoshop Elements to do that. To my surprise, when I try to get a picture from Iphoto to Photoshop, it can't be done. That was when I realized, after wasting a lot of time, that the photos are not in the Iphoto library.
I started naming the pictures on Iphoto so I had a recognizable file name to open on Photoshop. Couldn't find it. I looked in the Backup folder and the Transfer software folder (I have a Nikon camera), and the names I entered in the Iphoto display, could not be found.
When I am trying to upload a photo to the web, I get the Finder folder showing with an active folder called "Photos" under "Media", which only displays Iphoto and PhotoBooth. This is a folder name that I cannot find in my HD anywhere when I look for it. If I edit a picture with Photoshop, I am not going to save it back to Iphoto (not sure whether it will work properly). How do I get my folder of edited photos to show when I want to upload a picture to the web?
Where (the name of the folder) do I find the pictures I see displayed on the Iphoto library, including any name changes, keywords added, and so on?See my response to your other post.

Hi, I reecntly purchased a Mac and the Pages App. But now I find that I cant open a document I have been working on. It has previously been saved without a problem now all I get is a box stating that the file cannot be opened. It is visible in both the Pages Windows and under Recent Items but just will not open. Any suggestions please?
Hi Colourdoodles,
Maybe the document is corrupted. Can you open other Pages documents? Preview may open it. Right click (or control click) on the document in Finder and Open With > Preview.
If that works, Edit > Select All, Edit > Copy. Then paste into a blank Pages document. Formatting may be messed up, but you will have editable text. Then Save (with a different name), close and see if you can open the new document.

i've an iphone 3.1.3. sometimes, i have problems opening all the apps i downloaded in the past 4 months. other apps would open but the recent ones will begin to boot and then close itself. once, it persisted for over a week. it staarted again this evening, pls help as am frustrated. NB- i checked for apps update but all my apps are up-to-date. CT
Try the usual steps: restart, reset, restore.

If restoring using a backup doesn't help, try restoring the iPhone to factory settings and try for a while with just the Apple-included apps, to make sure it's not an issue with a third-party app. If it still has problems, it may have a hardware problem and will need to be sent to Apple.

I can't send emails from Mail. I have three different accounts set up and have the same problem with all. The mail just sits in my outbox. All worked fine until Yosemite upgrade. Recent update has not fixed problem.
I have been experiencing the same problem. My mail app won't even open on my Late 2011 Macbook Pro. It will show as open, but the app will never actually show up.

How to stop the spinning ball/pizza that is stalling repairs to project on imovie 09? on macosx10.5.8 using iomega and superspeed ext h.d. as storage for the events and projects archive of a wedding video that has had audio sync problems on all share formats (iDVD, mp4, and last of all iTunes). The project label now carries signal with yellow triangled exclamation “i tunes out of date”.
To solve the sync problem I’m following advice and detaching sound from all of the 100 or so short clips. This operation has been stalled by the spinning ball. Shut down restart has not helped.
The Project is mounted from Iomega and superspeed ext hd connected to imovie09 on macosx 10.5.8.

I like and use Top Sites but it has become unsuable with this constant blacking out and reloading the thumbnails. My MBP has not seen a problem at all.
I have been searching every other day for over a month trying to find a fix in Windows Safari with no joy. I want to resolve, not switch browsers. Please offer up a solution that only refreshes the Top Site thumbnails once a day or as some controlable interval. Started about two versions ago, now on ver 5.1.5. Windows 7 64bit.
Safari 5.1.5 for Win64 bit, Windows 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I think I solved the wifi connection problem, just by switching off completely the router! sounds trivial, but in this case it worked!!!
the funny behaviour of the trackpad/cursor still persists. any suggestion???
thanks again -
Ipod classic won't sync to itunes on PC but no problem at all with MAC
Hi,
i have this problem for almost a year now. i have tried restoring my ipod (using both itunes & ipod restore option) i have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, checked it with different computers and different operating systems (XP and windows 7) and the problem is still not solved.
Here is the problem:
if i'm connecting my ipod to mac, i can restore it and sync it with no problem at all. but when i'm connecting the same ipod to a PC, i than need to restore my ipod, which is fine, but after restoring, my ipod will not sync to itunes either on a PC or mac. but if again i'n restoring my ipod on mac, i can than sync again with no problem at all (but than i need to restore it on PC and again it can't be synced). any suggestion as to why is it happening? i'm using the latest version of itunes.
Thanks,
FloraOne question; was there any music on the iPod before now, and if so, what happened to it?
Check to make sure that Sync Music is selected on the Device/Music pane and that you have selected music to be added to the iPod. -
I am finding the ability to download previous purchases now shown on my iCloud account to be difficult. Music appears fine and most movies are OK but I have problems with all music videos included with album purchases. Any ideas?

Firstly, I purchased my first iPhone a few years ago, since then there have been a lot of apps released, a lot which I downloaded for free, tried and deleted from both my phone and my iTune 'Apps' Panel. What bothers me is when I do get a new iOS device, iPad and/or iPhone 5, and I don't want to just copy the back-up of my current iOS device to the new one, then to get the apps I want I will have to scroll through countless useless 'trash' applications in my purchase history to 'cloud download' the ones I want.
Just sync the apps you want from your computer. You don't need to redownload them directly on the iPhone Purchased list.
Will Apple be employing such a feature, a 'permanently delete/un-purchase' feature?
Dunno.

I have a MacBook Pro and OS10.6 and am trying to log into a site that requires me to enter a code from a picture ... problem is all I get on the screen is a white '?' in a blue box. What do I need to display the picture?
Reload the page. If it doesn't load, choose Activity from Safari's Window menu, find that picture in the list, and see what it says to the right; this may reveal what the problem is.

I purchased Microsoft Office for Mac through the Apple website.. I have downloaded all from the disk into my Mac, no problem with all the other Word etc, but Outlook is asking for the key number: I have put it in but its obviously not the right one...???? In the box with the disk came the product key, have put it in and it doesnt work. Please help..x
unfortunately - you can not. you can't even buy outlook by itself at microsoft's own website.
does it have to be outlook? maybe you can get away with using something else that's outlook compatible.
how about trying Thunderbird for Mac OS?
or maybe you can call apple and let them know you purchase the wrong version - they might give you a break and just pay the difference for the home and business version.
good luck -
IOS 4.2.1 no problems at all. It works quite well
Despite all the complaints every time a new version of the iOS is being released I am quite happy with it. No problems at all. The battery seem to last a bit longer, the phone is much snappier and Bluetooth has improved and works on a longer range. They are still issues unresolved, but no new issues at all. Also the new “Find my iPhone” function is quite good
It is good to see people happy with their iOS release and iPhone. Even though this is a support forum it is also a place where we can make Apple aware they do a good job (most of the times) and instead of moaning continuously about our problems we can show how much we enjoy our devices too.
BTW The iPhone 4 is the only Apple product I use, but I love it! -
Interesting problem for all students and programmers Have a look!
Hello. This is a very interesting problem for all programmers and students. I have my spalsh screen class which displays a splash when run from the main method in the same class. However when run from another class( in my case from my login class, when user name and password is validated) I create an instance of the class and show it. But the image in the splash is not shown. Only a squared white background is visible!!!.
I am sending the two classes
Can u tell me why and propose a solution. Thanks.

Use tcode XK99 for vendor mass change, select the Fax no field. You have to take note that this changes will be only 1 fax number for all vendors.
Else you have to use BAPI for mass change.

Using Itunes, I copied all my apps from my Ipod touch to a new Iphone 4. Problem is all the apps on the Iphone are starting up like a new install. I would think my "password" app and "lose it" app would have the past data transferred to the Iphone. Is this not possible??
