What date did production of the Macbook begin?

Week 25s our out in the stores now?
I got a week 20 that I ordered online on 16th of May when they were first released.
What was the date of week 1?
Does anyone out there have anything less than a week 19?
thanks
Paul

Perhaps you haven't been caught in the "Apple
Infinite Loop".
I've had over 15 calls with Apple over a brand new
Macbook that in the end they decided it needed a new
Logic board and offered me a refund.
Average calls were 30 min or more and I lost a chunk
of my time that I can't get back. That's not to
mention the hours/days spent troubleshooting, the
lost sleep and the heart ache.
I'm trying to keep tabs on the week numbers so that
when I buy a new one I have the greatest chance of it
being faultless.
If you’re not interested in the topic don’t read the
post.
Now get back in your box.
Hey, don't be that rude because you lost sleep and have heart ache.
And I'm sorry to hear your problems with apple infinite loop, and I hope now the problem resolved.
I do interested in the topic, and I try explain to you people that this is a support not a poll forum, and corelation between "week number" and "using the MacBook" is very slim to none.
If there is a forum opened for "week number", feel free to flooded with similar post like this one. And I'll stay in my box.
And here is quote of the agreement you "must" read and agree before posting something:
http://discussions.apple.com/help.jspa#adua
2. Submissions
Don't post non-constructive complaints, polls, or petitions.
Peace out.
ps: just to kill my curiousity, when apple found out your logic board need to be replace, and offer you refund for your money, did they told you the reason because is was build on the "bad week".

What date did Apple's discussion forums begin?

Does anyone know when the Apple discussion forums started?
I ask this in in relation to Apple being aware (through these forums) of consumer issues /problems / suggestions and then taking the information onboard in development of their products. In my mind the users of apple computers have fed back into the design and updating of hardware/software over the years and the forums (including the criticism they sometimes contain) have facilitated Apple to respond to user needs.
Thanks.

Apple folks may peek in here from time to time, but this is not where they get much, if any, such info. The only place I've ever seen an Apple employee post is in this one forum, about how the forums work. Otherwise, it's user-to-user.
I've asked a couple of Apple Product Engineers (for Time Machine) if they ever look in the forums for problems, and was told no. If you follow many threads here, especially the ones with lots of posts that might look like a fairly general problem, you'll usually find different problems, different hardware and software, all sorts of digressions, etc., and rarely enough specifics for anybody to figure out what's actually going on. It just wouldn't be very productive. They use actual problems reported to AppleCare, the bugreport site, or the feedback site, and no doubt do various sorts of market research, surveys, etc.
In addition, they do beta testing with experienced users who provide feedback for changes and enhancements, as well as problem reports.

What is so "Pro" about the MacBook Pro?

"Pro" is short for professional and the Apple brand has been synonymous with creative professionals for at least 20 years... I know, asI am one of them.
Now, the MAC PRO (tower) is no doubt, a professional grade machine. With 4 hard drives, 2 DVD drives, 4 expansion bays, 5 USB ports and 4 Firewire ports, and a whopping 128GB RAM, I'd say it lives up to the name "Pro". This machine IS the industry standard in film editing, recording studios, graphic design, ect... The one catch, is that it's not portable...
In come the MAC BOOK PRO. It's lightweight and has excellent battery life which is ideal for portability.
Now here's what I'm getting at: When you're on the road, at a meeting, or working in the field, you're probably not going to need all of the hardware of the Mac Pro, but only 2 USB ports? That sounds like a joke to me!
Say you meet someone at a cafe and you decide to transferring some files from your USB drive to his... That's it, you're done for USB ports. You can't even can't grab a charge for your phone, your ipad, plug in a digital camera or whatever because it only has 2 USB ports. And it really annoys me when I see these PC guys with laptops half the price of a MacBook and they're sitting there with all kinds of stuff plugged in. Notebooks like the Inspiron's and ASUS have 5 USB ports... FIVE!!!
So I ask you, "what's so pro about the MacBook Pro?" Having to constantly plug and unplug peripherals is quite amateur to me.

rick268,
the “Pro” in MacBook Pro was in comparison to the “Pro-less” MacBook. If the two USB ports on a MacBook Pro don’t suffice for your needs, then you can either bring along a powered USB hub, or you can simply not get a MacBook Pro — get one of its competitors instead, which has the number of USB ports which you need.
I know I can get a USB hub, or better yet, I've been looking into a thunderbolt hub- I just wish I didn't have to sacrifice ports in Apple's conquest to make the thinnest laptop in existance.

Every time an email comes in it's preceded by two telephone rings. I don't know what I did to create the problem so I don't know how to resolve it. HELP PLEASE!!!

What data is stored to the cloud from my I mac

How do I know what data is stored to the cloud from my imac.

By default, a Mac stores in iCloud the data of iCloud-compatible applications, always that "Documents & Data" is turned on in System Preferences > iCloud. Also, you can store mails, contacts, calendars, reminders and notes, always that you have activated them in System Preferences > iCloud.
You choose what to store. If you want to check what's stored, open System Preferences > iCloud > Manage

What wireless routers work with the MacBook Pro?

I have been having problems with my inconsistent D-Link 624 and I realize that I will have to replace it.
I would like to know what routers are compatible with the MacBook Pro. My D-Link worked fine with my iBook but I think it does not work with the Intel binary. Any suggestions?

I had problems with a number of different Linksys routers (dropped signal, couldn't connect to some iChat AV calls, etc). I'd been using some Airport express routers for music around the house, which I switched around a made a primary wireless router and a reange exapnder. I've had ZERO problems since.
BTW, I was having almost identical problems with my PowerMac G5 (with a wireless card).
I'm curious if something in recent upgrades (10.4.7?) has changed the OS's ability to connect reliably with non-Apple routers.
But at least my Apple routers seem to be working very well.

What type of ram does the MacBook Pro 15" use?

What type of ram does the MacBook Pro 15" use? Is it the same as the 13"?

13 and 15-inch MacBooks Pro use the same RAM type, but it depends on the model. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1270

What data is stored in the CC Background Job Spool File?

What information is stored in the location referenced in the CC Configuration/Miscellaneous setting of 'Background Job Spool File Location'? Our test and production versions of this system are configured the same, with both pointing to the same location on their respective servers. However the test location shows a virsa/bgJobSpool folder in it containing multiple files while our production system shows this location as empty.
Both versions seem to be working OK. We are running backgrounds jobs in each (risk analysis, management reviews, rule generation, etc.) and seeing results.
We updated to the GRC 5.2 a few months ago and are currently on SP9. This issue came up during a system audit, so we need to come up with an explanation for the differences.
Thanks.

I had reviewed that SAP note previously, but it does not seem to help any with our situation. We are running ad hoc background risk analysis jobs frequently and can always see the results. Everything seems to work fine from the application side, we just don't see the logs where we thought they should be over on the server.
From the outside, it looks like maybe it is ignoring the configuration setting and is still using the default location for the log. Does it need to be on the same drive as the application? I believe our application and the default location are both on our E drive, but we want to put the location for this and the Alert Log on the D drive.
Thanks.

What webcam works best with the macbook, once the built in camera breaks?

My built in camera has broken and they want to charge me $280 to fix it so I was wondering what external web cam is most recommended for the Macbook?

My wifes gonna be upset, did I fry the MacBook?

Attempted to give wife my iPhone, upon connection to her MB iTunes informed that she needed 7.7. I ran updater and it attempted to install Safari, iTunes and a security update... That's when the beachball of death appeared, during the security update. I left it alone for about 15 minutes then I tried to "quit" updater and had a complete freeze so i did a hard reset. i am unsure of what version of OSX she has on the MB.
Now I am left with a grey screen and spinning wheel. Nothing works, I have tried "C" for the CD which I was able to get in, and "shift" for safe mode both to no avail. I can run single user and verbose for some reason but neither seem to complete correctly as I never get an actual prompt at the end. I did reset the pram and at least now I hear the start-up sound but it's of no help when the safemode deosnt actually boot. I'm at a loss, I thought I would try this before I line up at the Apple Store, only to be told I'm an idiot and write a check.
I hope to God that the information on this thing is retrievable in some fashion.
I've searched and found similar issues but nothing with a solution that I saw. Thank you in advance for any help you might be able to give.

Well, it seems as if the HD is fine. A family friend is a MAC Genius and NY and walked me through a simple HD test. He had me put my ear to the palm rest on the right side and listen for any abnormal noises such as clicking, etc. Pretty high tech eh?
Anyhoo, hesaid since there were no noises, which are very common in MacBook HD failures he said, that my HD was likely fine and I just had an update failure. Rather than do anything extensive over the phone or pay lots of $ taking into my local store, he walked me through pulling the User file onto my Vista laptop and I am now archive installing. If the AI fails then at least I have my wifes photos and documents already off of the Mac. I would post the file that allows reading of the HFS on a PC but I guess it might be a violation of the TOS... If you google you can find one in the event you don't have a second Mac handy like me.
Thank you for your input,
Ryan

What programs are loaded onto the MacBook.

I am looking at getting a MacBook sometime this upcoming weekend, and I was wondering what programs are loaded onto it??
And which ones are good for just basic usage (documents and internet)for now? I plan to get photoshop at a later date for photo editing.

Welcome to Apple Discussions....this link takes you to the Apple Store >MacBook< section....
<a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://">http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_mac/family/macbook?mc o=MTE3MjA
down towards the bottom of the page on the right is the list of included software...

Can someone explain what Apple did to remedy the battery life in version 1?

My original post got deleted...i guess it violated the TOS for "ranting" and "speculation".
Yes, the 3g iPhone is an amazing piece of technology with MANY features....but I simply cannot use them and expect it to be a dependable functional telephone at the same time. For years, I have had phones that remain on standby possibly for days, make lots of calls, do lots of texting, browse the net...etc...you get the point.
I purchased the iphone for the push feature, the 3G feature, the wifi feature and the ability to use it as a telephone ......dependably. I work on-call and need to have a phone on at all times day or night. I charge my phones overnight but still have NEVER had a phone lose a charge as quickly as the iPhone does.
Apple's solution right now is to turn off all the features that make the phone so attractive in the first place.
I suspect that I am like a lot of others in that I did not buy this PHONE (yes, it is a phone after all and should have adequate battery life to serve as a phone) to selectively and actively take the time in between calling, browsing, etc. to remember to turn wifi on and off, turn my 3G network on and off and then manually push email. This kind of defeats the purpose.
Is there something Apple can do to remedy this situation via software updates or are some of has hoping for a pipe dream that simply will/cannot happen? I know with the first iPhone there were updates that dealt with battery life. Does anybody know what the formaer updates did physically? I hope something can be done with the 3g version, because right now it is not usable and may need to be returned.
Any software/hardware engineer types out there who can advise if this is indeed a fixable thing or should I return the phone? I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to keep this thing, but as it is now, it is totally not usable for me.
Thanks for reading. . . .hope there is a solution!
(hope this isn't "too speculative" to be tossed again for violating the TOS)

I suspect this is your first 3G phone and if so, this is a common problem with all 3G phones and a big complaint. Other 3G phones have a swappable battery which having is a requirement. Since the iPhone does not have a swappable battery, an extra wall charger or keeping the wall charger handy is required. Or having a computer nearby with a USB port along with having a vehicle charger.
If you aren't interested in turning off available features to conserve battery when needed or wanted, and you use your iPhone regulary for web and email account access via 3G, the battery won't last the day - which is the same for any 3G smart phone. With no swappable battery, if the other alternatives are not acceptable, you should return it.

What data is contained in the export file for a transportable tablespace?

"This operation will generate an export file, jan_sales.dmp. The export file will be small, because it contains only metadata. In this case, the export file will contain information describing the table temp_jan_sales, such as the column names, column datatype, and all other information that the target Oracle database will need in order to access the objects in ts_temp_sales."
What is the other information?

I don't have the sales dump. I was only quoting from the documentation. What i have is an export of 18 tablespaces - 9 partitioned data tablespaces and 9 partitioned index tablespaces.
What I was trying to determine was if I could still import the tablespaces if the tablespace files were from a time that was after (one week) the original export of the metadata or if there was some bit of information that was held in the metadata which would prevent this.

I followed the instructions for "Moving Thunderbird Data to a New Computer," but the calendar data did not transfer & the calendar program is not functioning.

I manually moved my profile from Thunderbird in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS to Windows 8.1. I followed instructions and everything moved as expected except the Calendar. Not only did the Calendar data not transfer, the Calendar itself is not functioning, e.g. no dates & days of week, etc., all menus relating to Calendar are "greyed-out," etc. I would appreciate any help. TIA KellyJMorris

The Calendar (a.k.a. Lightning) contains binary components, which are OS dependent. So you do need to remove the Lightning add-on in your Add-on manager and install the Windows version of Lightning.

HT4221 For what reaseon did you change the sorting of photos?

I don't see any reason.
Do I have to buy an App now to view pictures?
Sorting photos by the date they were taken is probably the best way.
Sorting it by filename gives us the chance to control the sorting.
Sorting it by modification date since IOS 5 is just wrong and huge bug!!!!
