Week 23 MBP ships with new MLB?

I have a week 23 MBP 2Ghz Glossy, does it have the new MLB installed? I really dont want to wait on hold for ever just to find out that mine already has it.
TIA
-Tyler

Then whew... I have a week 26!
The problem is: not all week 26 have the new boards I think they started using them somewhere in week 26. I, too, have a week 26 and I have the old board (and the whine).
An indicator on whether you have the new board or not is the following: if your MBP came with Mac OS 10.4.6, then you probably have the new version. Otherwise you definitely don't.
If your MBP doesn't whine, I'd not worry about it anyway

  • Version of OSX Shipping With New MacBooks?

    Is 10.4.9 or 10.4.10 shipping with new MacBooks? Preferably, I'm looking for an answer from someone who has recently purchased a new MB.
    Thanks.

    Apple rarely updates the build that is installed at the factory unless new hardware requires the update. The current MacBooks should be shipping with 10.4.9.

  • No software shipped with new MBA!?

    Hi, I just recieved my new Macbook Air. There is no software (OSX/iLife) in the box (it is installed though).
    Is there no software to be shipped with the MBA anymore? My dad does have a thumb that came with his slightly older MBA.
    What if i need to reinstall?

    The MBA I received at Christmas did not include any software on disc either, although it is all installed on the drive.  That's the new way Apple is distributing software these days.
    As for reinstalls, the new MBA allows you to work with Lion Recovery, the new way to reinstall.

  • MSI K8N Diamond stable at 2800 for weeks, not now with new folding units

    Hi chaps.
    I have been running my Opteron 170 for 7 weeks now folding 24/7 without so much as a twitch.
    However, since the new "5 way melt" work units have been issued it is almost impossible for either core to finish a unit...either that or the machine reboots randomly.
    It re-gains stability ONLY if I run the CPU at 10x268MHz=2680 MHz
    Other types of work units finish stably and very quickly still so no change there.
    So I have to assume that the machine was never REALLY stable, despite lots of testing with OCCT and Memtest etc to the contrary.
    Now does anyone know of any reason why the HT limit might be 268MHz?
    I have tried 3 sets of different RAM, to the point where I am using a "fresh" set of OCZ PC4800 units at 2.85v ...and still getting the same problems.
    I am beginning to suspect the motherboard, so if anyone has any advice, I would be glad to hear it.
    Would the VRM circuitry be degrading already? All caps look like new and the Mobo/case temp is always lower than 25°C. Even the VRM heatsinks are only warm to the touch.
    I gained no stability by raising the CPU voltage to 1.54v, it was still unstable when folding the same type of units.
    so I have put it back to 1.4v+3.3%
    BIOS 1.8/3.8 as in sig.
    As I said, all other types of units complete very swiftly and without error,as does OCCT etc.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Otherwise it is goodbye MSI and another board hits Ebay!
    Regards and thanks

    Hi,
    Well I have tried the 5.0a BIOS and no luck at all. It is even more unstable and will not work as well as the one that I have despite giving higher RAM volts.
    I just downloaded a new version of A64 tweaker and happily found that this version (0.6 beta) has a different range of tweakable components. They now include Skew controls and drive strength. This is important, as most TCCD and TCC5 based ram runs faster with a "weak" drive strength rather than the default "strong" setting that the MSI BIOS defaults to.
    This could help get better stability at higher clocks for some of us. Also, setting the Skew to 248 (max setting) can help a little....just like on the DFi boards...though their max settings exceed 255!
    I ran my CPU and RAM in my friend's DFi Expert last weekend for a total of 2 days running all sorts of tests and benches. I got her stable at 3150MHz for at least 8 hours folding 2 independent work units (5 way melt units). voltage was 1.42v with the RAM at 315MHz (DDR630) 1:1 at 2.85v. CPU temp Maxed out at 41°C on air whilst folding
    Sandra exceeded 28,500 on the CPU test and 7890 on the bandwidth and the thing really flew along. Memtest was stable over 1200% and Prime95 ran perfectly over several hours too...no crashes, CMOS resets/BSODs, lockups/shutdowns...nothing at all wrong. Even OCCT ran a successful test or two.
    This was with my own CPU cooler and in the same case as mine.
    Now I REALLY know what my CPU and RAM is capable of. I just need a capable BIOS to help me out with my MSI. I think realistically though, that I will have to admit defeat and be happy with 2810MHz on this board with a 183 divider for RAM.
    Thanks for all your help guys...so very much appreciated. (aicjofs, you are a saint)
    Meanwhile if anyone needs help here, I hope I can be of use to at least a few of you.
    K6dude
    PS Sorry to say that the Benches results are not saved as his rig was under construction and were lost as he reformatted with win64 before I could copy them to USB drive. I will duplicate the results as and when I can get a DFi board late summer.

  • Installing Flash on mbp (shipped with lion) safe?

    Hello
    I have just just received my new MBP with Lion pre-installed and was wondering whether it is safe or not installing flash player?
    I'm totally new in the world of mac and after having read a few articles I wasn't that sure anymore of what to do...
    thanks

    Flash is as safe as Adobe makes it.  There are occasional security updates regarding it.  Some animated websites require it, while others do not.  Play around with websites and see if any really needs it that you really need access to.  If you find some do, you should also recommend they consider switching their Flash to HTML5, which eats up less processor cycles, and because it is maintained by the open source community is more likely to be secure.  Don't click on animated advertisements and banners, unless you are absolutely certain they are legit.    Don't believe any popup saying you should install asking you to install anti-virus software.  Just close those windows with the red button in the upper left corner and proceed going through websites.  If they make a window you can't close, bookmark any sites you are on, and quit the web browser.

  • My HD on my Macbook pro 13" is done and I replaced it with new now I cannot boot off Disc

    I had to replace my HD on my MBP 13" with new, I have been trying to boot off MAC OS X Snow Leopard install DVD 10.6 but cannot! HELP needed!

    You need to use the ORIGINAL installation disc(s) that came with your machine. The SL disc is just an upgrade disc. If you don't have the original disc(s) you can call Apple at 1-800-MYAPPLE and, with your serial number handy, order a set of original replacement discs. Cost will be about $20 + tax, I believe.
    Good luck,

  • Does a firewire cable come with new 17-inch Powerbooks?

    Just ordered a new 17-inch Powerbook, and I plan to run the Migration Assistant when it arrives, to get the data from my old iBook to the new PB. My question is about the requisite firewire cable. Does a firewire cable ship with new PBs? Or should I go down to the Apple Store and buy one before it gets here? Thanks.

    You'll need to go and buy a cable.
    From the Store page:
    In the box
    • PowerBook G4
    • Power adapter, AC wall plug and power cord
    • Lithium-ion battery
    • Adapters: mini-DVI to DVI and mini-DVI to VGA (12-inch); S-video to composite and DVI to VGA (15-inch and 17-inch)
    • Install/restore DVDs
    • Printed and electronic documentation

  • Capture with new MBP, plus Pen Tool Question...

    Good Day everyone, I've searched the forums but have not been able to find my answer so I thought I'd post.
    Question 1...
    I've just received my new 17"MBP a few weeks ago. With my old PB, I would connect my camera via FW400 and capture the footage to an external LaCie drive via FW800 out of the computer.
    Now with only one FW port on the MBP, it looks as though I need to capture via FW800 (4pin to 9pin) and go out to the LaCie via USB? Is this correct? How are any of you doing this. It bums me out that I can't go out FW800 to the drive. I suppose there is always the option of getting an Express Card 34 with FW800 connections?
    Question 2...
    Why can I not get my pen tool to work in the timeline? I want to adjust opacity and audio levels but am unable to do this. My old version of FCP (v5) seemed to let me do this. Overlays are 'on'? Any suggestions? I find it easier and faster to be able to do these functions from the timeline, there must be a way?
    FYI...
    New 17" MBP 2.66 w/4GB RAM
    FCP (Studio2)
    I'm sure question 2 is just something stupid that I just haven't set up.
    Appreciate everyone's help as always!
    Rene.

    To be honest, nobody but Apple knows what Apple is thinking but usb is not a good alternative. I also don't know of too many professional post houses or broadcast studios that have anything to do with firewire infrastructure at all. You can get firewire 800 to firewire 400 adapter cables for cheap, search the internet. You can then daisy chain your camera/capture device in line with your storage device.
    The better alternative is to get a express firewire card for your MacBook pro as you mentioned which would create two firewire buses; one for capturing, one for storage. Again, you can search the internet and here's a place to get you started http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Sonnet%20Technology/FW800E34/
    I guess I would have thought maybe some research into a product of the expense of the MacBook Pro would have warranted some research about these things.

  • Lenovo U510--do the newer models (ship with windows 8) still have wifi and touchpad isssues?

    Hi, 
    I'm currently a student and just started my last semester of undegrad. Unfortunately old POS acer's screen got messed up a few weeks ago and I need a new laptop. 
    I'm strongly considering the U510, but I'm really nervous about wifi and trackpad issues. 
    I'm considering buying it from costco, it's $699. The one they're selling ships with windows 8, so I'm assuming they're newer than the ones that shipped with windows 7 (which was on the site a few weeks ago). Has anyone who bought one of the 8510's noticed these two issues? 
    Thanks!

    hi thehammer401,
    Welcome to the Lenovo Community.
    The only thing I noticed about the Touchpad is the sensitivity - which is a common thing as when you are typing, the Touchpad suddenly jumps around the screen. This can easily be fixed by lowering the sensitivity of the Palm and Touch sensitivity settings of the pad (you need to:
    1. Open the Control Panel > Hardware & Sound and look for Mouse
    2. Under the  Mouse Properties, go to the Device Settings or Elan Tab then click Options or Settings and look for Sensitivity.
    Check this website for a sample guide on how to adjust a touchpad's sensitivity. As for the WiFi connectivity, never got a problem so far.
    Hope this helps.

  • Brand new iMac shipped with iLife08

    Hi,
    I bought a brand spanking new 24" iMac last week and am somewhat disappointed that I only got iLife 08 with it.
    Am I within my rights to get iLife 09 for free as it's supposed to be shipped with all brand new Macs?

    Hi jasongill: iLife '09 has not been released as of yet. There is no way it could be on your computer. I belive there is a low-priced plan to be able to upgrade to '09 if you have purchased a computer since the announcement date for the '09 iLife suite. Check out the Apple site for your country for upgrade details.

  • Mini DVI to VGA incorrectly shipped with MBP instead of DVI to VGA

    Has anyone else had a mini DVI to VGA adapter shipped with their macbook pro (2008) instead of a DVI to VGA adapter? I just needed to use it today and was told at the apple store that I had an adapter included with the computer. I went home to check and the adapter that was with the computer was a mini DVI to VGA adapter and the computer has a regular DVI output. I understand that later in 2008 the mac book pros were made with the mini DVI so I am thinking that there may have been a packaging error.......unusual for Apple???

    Hi Tingrin,
    Most likely an error when the machine was packaged for distribution. The MacBook Pro has never shipped with Mini DVI, it was a dual link DVI port until they went to Mini DisplayPort. The MacBook, however featured the Mini DVI.
    I know Apple has ceased to ship the adapters with the MacBook Pro, to my knowledge they did around the time of the mid/late 2008 machines. I know with the first couple of generations (MBP) you actually got both a DVI and VGA adapter.
    I'd contact Apple, inform of the discrepancy and I'm sure they'll make it right.

  • My new iMac is not shipping with Lion installed. Will I be able to do a Migration from my PC to my iMac without installing Lion first?

    My new iMac is not shipping with Lion installed. Will I be able to do a Migration from my PC to my new iMac? I only want to transfer photos and my music, currently on my PC (and on my iPod Touch & iPad).
    Can anyone give me a list of steps to follow or let me know if Migration Assistant is available prior to Lion for PC to Mac?
    Thank you so so so much!
    -SweetDee

    SweetDee,
    I'd be VERY surprised if your machine was not shipping with Lion installed. However even if it doesn't when you initally install Lion it will launch into Setup Assistant, if you follow the prompts it will ask if you are migrating from another machine. You can use Pondini's Lion Setup Assistant tips for help, look for the section(s) on MS Windows migration. Also I would strongly recommend bookmarking and studying the following sites:
    Switch 101
    Mac 101
    Find Out How Video tutorials
    In closing remember you have 90 days of free telephone support with AppleCare. If you run into trouble they will be happy to assist or if you have an Apple Store in your area you can book an appointment with a Genius and they can usually help you out.

  • Are new Macs shipping with Snow Leopard?

    If I order a new iMac today through the Apple store will it come with OSX 10.5 or 10.6 installed?
    The Apple store says the iMac will ship with OSX 10.5 but they show a picture of the OSX 10.6 box set...
    (I'd like to still get one with Leopard if I can)

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    PPP connections generally are done by dialup modem. Macs presently do not have built-in modems, though a USB modem is available to them from Apple, and some other vendors which do work with Mac OS X 10.6.
    Any Mac though that can run Mac OS X 10.6, can also run any version of Windows. See the virtualization options here*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#WINTEL
    Boot Camp is included with 10.6.
    By the way, MAC is an acronym for Media Access Control, a network naming convention. Mac is shorthand for Macintosh, the operating system and the machines made by Apple computer that run the operating system in question.
    If you have further questions about Boot Camp or other virtualization see the Boot Camp category, and pick up of the forums inside of it at its header to be able to post your own topic:
