Should take delivery of my mbp tomorrow

Looks like it is in town now. Only about 15 minutes from my house.
Package data transmitted to fedex on 25th.
On 26th it did Shanghai, CN and Anchorage, AK. On 27th it sat around in Indianapolis, IN. 28th it left Indianapolis and landed in Grand Rapids, MI sort facility. Now it is sitting in Kentwood, MI which is only a short drive from my house.
I don't know if they will deliver it today last update was at 7:29 am saying it was in Kentwood. If they don't deliver it today maybe i'll drive up there after work and get it.
I'm guessing this will be a week 12 MBP and cross my fingers and pray to the computer gods that it is a perfect MBP also.

I guess we're all a part of the same "graduating class". Mine is due tomorrow (March 29th) by noon. Maybe we can compare notes about our machines? In any event, mine is a plain 2 Gig model with 1 Gig RAM, but I am going to add the 1 Gig RAM upgrade from "Other World Computing" which is only $118. (I plan on adding Windows XP to it as soon as a stable version comes available so I can do SQL2000 so I can take some of my work-work home with me. Otherwise, I detest Microsoft.)

  • How much free disc space should be on a new MBP?

    On my brand new MBP, my first mistake was I did not immediately time machine the new mac or record the "available" disc size in it when it first came out of the box.
    My next mistake was I ran migration assistant twice, and it failed with unspecified errors both times.
    Now when I go to Apple->AboutThisMac->Storage, it reports OTHER as 121.48 GB, and Audio/Apps/Movies/Photos/Backups together are several dozen GB in total. So OTHER is taking up most of the used disc space right now.
    Disc utility says the HD has used 151GB total, with 348.1 GB available.
    Capacity of the disc size is 499.1GB
    I have not yet put any data on this MBP, unless the migration utility did it without me knowing it and didn't delete it when it failed.
    What exactly is OTHER data?
    How can I find out if my failed migration attempts has put 100GB or thereabouts on this machine that I can safely delete?
    How much disc space is USED right out of the box on this MBP (2014 13" retina, 500gig drive)?
    Thanks!!!!

    Here is a definition of OTHER:  http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202867
    Download from the Internet OmniDiskSweeper (free) and open it.  It will show all of you files and the respective sizes.  this should permit you to see exactly what you have on your MBP.
    I would estimate that the OSX and the initial applications should take about 20 GB space or less.

  • Tried to use Iphoto and was told I needed upgrade. Try to install upgrade . Upgrade should take an hour if photo library is large. It's now close to three hours and still upgrading.  Can't use Iphoto and don't want to stop if still upgrading...3hours??

    You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
    Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
    If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
    Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
    Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
    To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
    You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)].

  • I should take it I have a problem with Thunderbird opening hyperlinks in a tab on an existing window in Chrome rather than in a new window. How can I fix this?

    I am trying to figure out if this an issue that I need to fix in my Thunderbird, or if it has to do with Chrome, which is set as my default browser. If someone could let me know how to fix it if it IS a Thunderbird issue, or if I should take it up with Chrome, I would be grateful.
    Thanks!

    I think that would have to be a setting in Chrome. That should control how new pages linked from other applications are treated.

  • Billing date should take by default

    Hi dear,
    Please give me the solution for how the Billing date should take by default in VF01 screen( taday's date) .
    So that users are not allowed to enter the billing date in vf01 screen.

    Hi
    If you want the billing date should be in display mode then see below
    Go to SHD0- t code and create the transaction variant for the VF01 in that tick the  Billing date as display and save.
    then assign the transaction variant in the standard variant  and activate the same.
    whenever the user enters the t code VF01 the billing date should show in display mode
    If you have any further claririfcations let me lnow
    Regards

  • Hi i have been lucky enough to take delivery of the Nikon D810 but am unable to upload the raw images into LR5 or Photoshop CC 2014 is this just a matter of waiting for a new version of ACR ??  Thanks

    Hi i have been lucky enough to take delivery of the Nikon D810 but am unable to upload NEF files into LR5 or Photoshop CC 2014 is this just a matter of waiting for the next version of ACR ???

    What version of Camera Raw do you have?  Do Help - About Plug-in... - Camera Raw to see.
    If it's not 8.5, which is the latest current release as of this writing, you might want to look this over:  Camera Raw updates cannot be applied
    Just looking over the list here - Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras - I don't see the D810 listed at all.  Maybe that page isn't updated or maybe the camera is newer than even the newest Camera Raw release, in which case you'll have to wait for Camera Raw 8.6.  Note that Adobe often releases beta versions early so the wait may not be that long...

  • HT4623 when i finished downloading a usb cable and itunes logo appered so i plugged it in the itunes and it said i should take it out from recovery by restoring it.it took 3 hours but at last it didnt download what should i do?

    when i finished downloading a usb cable and itunes logo appered so i plugged it in the itunes and it said i should take it out from recovery by restoring it.it took 3 hours but at last it didnt download what should i do?

    Try holding the home and lock buttons until the iPad reboots. If it does not start up normally, then you will have to restore. To avoid any longer downloads, go to here: http://www.ipswdownloader.com/download-ipad-ipsw-files.php
    and look for your iPad and download the latest firmware. When done downloading, make sure the file is in a easy place to get to. Then, go on iTunes and connect your iPad. Hold your shift key, and press restore. Locate the .ipsw firmware and restore. Make sure no programs are open during the restore proccess as it may interfere.

  • '0' New Posts button should take you to end of thread not beginning

    Currently if you click the New posts button for a thread when it's zero it takes you to the first post of the thread.  I think it should take you to the last post of the thread.  If you click the title it takes you to the first post, no reason to have two links that offer the same functionality.
    Thanks

    Actually there are options the user can set. For me, clicking the title takes me to the first NEW post. If there are zero new post listed for a thread, I don't waste my time clicking the thread at all. I believe most have their account set up the same.

  • Why is it taking 2hours to download a movie. I have 11MB...it should take 2 to 3 minutes. Anyone has an answer to improve the speed?

    My apple tv is slow to download a movie. I have 11MB...it should take 2 to 3 minutes if that long. The Movie apps on my blu ray are almost instant. Anyone has an answer to improve the speed?

    I have a 50x5 Mbit cable business class modem in my house (doing that give me priority bandwidth over other residences).... The most I EVER get from the iTunes Store is 4-5MBytes/sec (about 35 Mbits)... Usually I get 1-2 MBytes/sec to iTunes or any device
    My guesses are
    1) Apple just doesn't have the bandwidth during certain times
    2) I notice they throttle accounts. If I download an entire hd season, I start out fast, the it slows after a few hrs... Im guessing apple has a max data cap per day then slows you down.

  • Microsoft should take most of the blame.

    I think Microsoft should take most of the blame for what is happening to us creative labs customers. Too many drivers are in still beta, or hardware is not supported at all. This is unfortunate. How long was Vista in the works? Didn?t it give Microsoft enough time to hustle hardware manufacturers to release drivers or at least have them well on their way to do so?
    Its not rocket science hardware companies like creative etc are struggling at the moment to give us fully baked solid drivers.
    Microsoft sucks!!!!

    I'm not sure blame is the right word; although MS have certainly changed things massi'vely in Vista, much of which quite late in it's development it is also important to recognise that progress is important and so these changes are quite reasonable. If anyone is to "blame" it's the PC Retail industry in general who sell this "magic and?pixie dust" idea that computers are these?fantastical devices which can seamlessly interface any piece of software with any piece of hardware. Masses of people have been dazzled with the new Vista Aero interface and like zombies they head to the store as they simply must have it now, and pay no heed to whether it will actually work with their systems or not. Don't misunderstand me, I love progress, I love shiny new things, I'm a geek 00%, but I've also got 30+ years dealing with these things. I would love to see how people would react to manually setting up IRQ and DMA settings back in the old days. Tsk, kids today, they just have it too easy?

  • When should I buy a new MBP?

    I'm leaving for college in the fall and I would like some help deciding when it makes sense to buy a new computer.  I'm planning on buying a new MBP with Retina display, but I'm not sure if it's totally worth updating yet.  I currently have a Late (October) 2009 White Macbook (2.26Ghz, 8GB RAM, 250GB HD), that works decently, but isn't wonderful--it's slowing down.  I would appreciate some ideas and thoughts on when it makes sense to upgrade:  now, before I leave for college; sometime during the fall semester, after I really know my computing needs (my least preferred option); or, this Christmastime?  If anyone has some advice, it would be much appreciated.
    Cheers!

    Wouldn't it just make sense to put the money for the 7200rpm drive towards one more upgrade on the MBP?  I could just cut that up front cost.
    You can choose to forgo the hard drive upgrade, however 250GB is quite small, meaning your likely using a great portion of the second 50% of the drive, which the read/wrire performance is substancially reduced.
    7,200 RPM doesn't make that much of a battery life dent that one will notice it, but one will notice the speedier response.
    S0 by incrreasing the RPM's and the storage size, plus newer drive with better read/write speeds through technology improvments combined with a zero erase + fresh install of 10.6.1 (your original disks) and Software Updated to 10.6.8 (10.7 is slow) should make a dramatic improvement on that model.
    However a erase + fresh install of 10.6 on that present 250GB can do the job well too, 10.7 is slow and you likely have other problems the 10.6 install will also cure.

    I'm not sure where I can get a copy of 10.6.8.  Do you know where I could obtain that?
    Your computer came with 10.6.1 install disks, hold c or option key down and boot off the disks, use Disk Utility to erase the entire drive (select the drive makers name and size on the left) with Security Option > Zero all data, wait, then when finished quit and install 10.6.1 and Software Update fully to 10.6.8.
    If you no longer have the 10.6.1 disks, call Apple for a machine specific replacement disks for your 2009 Late 13" White MacBook.

    f it turns out that I do need Windows for class applications, do I install it on a partition by using disk utility and partitioning my HD (also, how big does that partition for windows need to be)?
    There are two methods to use Windows on a Mac.
    1: Apple's Bootcamp, which takes the bottom free space on your boot drive (250GB isn't much if you have a lot of OSX data) and allows you to direct install Windows 7 (only) there.
    2: Virtual machine software, which allows one to run Windows (any flavor and Linux's) in a window in OS X.
    You can read about both (pro's and cons) here:

  • Should I buy a new MBP?  (Lots of small issues with mine)

    Hi,
    There are a number of small but irritating problems with my MBP. Talking with a friend who has had her macbook into apple service 3 times now for replacements a lot more serious than my problems, I'm sure Apple won't replace the computer. A friend who has bought a couple MBPs now (later week version) has had very little problem with his.
    Specifically, the issues I'm having are as follows:
    1) CPU whine (I know this can't be fixed)
    2) Fan "moo"/clunk. The computer sounds like a small helicopter at times and at the best of times is always noisy..
    3) Heat issues - using the comp anywhere but on a flat surface (i.e. on my lap) and it heats up intensely. I know this is an issue with all computers, but compared to my powerbook it's night and day.
    4) Lag Issues. Doing ANYTHING takes a "long" time. I need to reformat but from opening firefox to booting up the computer or even sometimes mousing over the icon tray.
    5) Red headphone led. My internal speakers no longer work. I've read the problem has something to do with the headphone jack being stuck. Some fixes I've read include using a match stick, plugging in the headphones again (doesn't work).
    6) My display flickers slightly now also. Seems to synch with the fan "moo"ing.
    I'm using macintosh now because I like avoiding hassles. I switched from PC a few years ago after going through lots of issues and the powerbook was AWESOME. I'm assuming the macbookpro is going to eventually stabilize and work well also, is it there yet? Shall I buy a new one and just dump the current or will it be the same thing all over?
    Macbook Pro / 12" Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

    Thanks for all the advice, it's appreciated. Particularly the advice to go down to the mac store and talk to a guru. I'm going to do that tomorrow.
    I've been able to tolerate things up until the latest bug, the fan now periodically starts spinning like a helicopter. It's way beyond anything I've dealt with.. I can't listen to music it's so loud and it disturbs anyone else around (clearly needs a fix).
    I can't send it in to be repaired as I can't do without a computer for that long. This said I thought to connect the new and old machine and copy the most important files over.
    (No I won't dump this lemon on someone else without letting them know about the issues. It may well be worthwhile to someone willing to nurse it through the various mac warranty & update issues. Eventually they may well end up with a new MBP).

  • Should I clean install when MBP arrives?

    Hello everyone. I know that there have been several posts that touch on this subject, but I havent found one dedicated to it. My MBP should arrive this week or the next and I have been reading a lot about people formatting the hard drive and then doing a clean install of OS X upon arrival.
    Could someone outline the exact reasons for doing so? How long does this process take? Does the drive need to be formatted first, or can OS X just be reinstalled?
    Thank you all so much for any help and support.

    I am coming from the world of Windows/PCs and I know
    that if this were a PC that I was comfortable with, I
    would definitely clean install. But I am not
    familiar with all things mac...yet, so I am a little
    worried about this procedure. Maybe I will get used
    to it for a few weeks/months, back up, and then clean
    install. Is that a good idea?
    Finally, does the mac come with as much rediculous
    junk that comes with Dell and HP machines? This junk
    includes over 5-10 trial software and so many
    programs I would never use. Any more insight into
    this topic is greatly appreciated. And I am very
    grateful of all that I have received so far...if
    there were more points to give, you know that I would!
    I would recommend not bothering with a clean install for a couple of reasons. Out of the box "it just works". Sure, you may never hook up to an Epson Stylus 720 but you can rest assured that you will likely never have to worry about a printer driver if you leave it in factory condition. Also, coming from the Windows world I would recommend leaving it like that so that your experience is as completely different from Windows as it can be - custom installs means that you would have to worry about printer drivers, who needs the hassle?
    Also, there is very little trialware and uninstalling applications is generally relatively easy (you just drag the application icon to the trash). The biggest space saver will be GarageBand and it does have some files in other locations - but they are relatively easy to find. Just use spotlight to look for 'loops'.
    The clean install is for those of us that can't stand untidy houses or are really trying to squeeze every last gigabyte out of the hard disk. It is also more for those of us that are a little more familiar with what you can do without. As I said above, fuggedaboudit, you've just made a huge jump from the Windows world - you don't need to bring all that driver, clean install, etc. baggage with you. (Maybe I'm a Windows user wannabe!!! Perish the thought!)
