  • What are the best ways to protect your macbook?

    I have ordered my 1st ever Apple product, the White Macbook.
    I would like to know what are the best ways to keep it save and in top condition?
    Apple have given me this case as a good will gesture, so I won't be needing a case for it: http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObjects/ukstore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=94689A4C&nplm=T J702
    But any solutions for stopping the discolouration (i hope this never occures on with my macbook) but any invisible stickers which I can put on the palm areas?
    Any tips?

    The new plastics really don't have the discoloration problem, so you don't actually need palm rest protection. Any dirt can be taken care of with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. I use only a silicone keyboard cover by Carapace to protect my macbook. I type so much that the letters often wear off my keys, and this will prevent that, as well as dust entering through the keyboard or, God forbid, any spilled liquid. The macbook heat vents are in the back, so my macbook does not overheat with the keyboard cover in place.

  • What is the best way to protect it?

    I HATE getting scratches or any sort of cosmetical damage on my devices, I am getting my first MBP on Friday, and want to know what the best way to keep it like new is?
    It won't be leaving the house regularly for a while, but I do have a neoprene case which I think it will fit for travelling anyway.
    I have seen many people with cases on their Macs, I don't know what the proper name is for them, but they are like hard shells attached to the back of the lid, are these recommended? I have read about some heat issues with it.
    What is the best way to protect the screen? I don't ever touch it, so I don't think that will be a problem, but cleaning dust off etc.?
    Lastly, will the trackpad wear away? My laptop's trackpad has slightly faded from it being used a lot, are MBP's prone to this too? I will try to use a mouse as much as possible.
    Are there any other things I should know about? I read that the bottom can get scratched easily too? I would only use it on a flat surface, so something like my lap, so depending on how soft the metal is... It can't be that bad can it?
    Thanks!

    Wouldnt buy that, nope
    Hard cases protect the finish of your macbook, but they trap in heat, ....many here have spoken on same.
    A major part of a macbook pro, especially a RETINA PRO is dissipating heat from the alloy case, which this case prevents from happening.
    Yes, youre stopping all the scratch,.....and likewise keeping the Macbook from dissipating a lot of heat.
    When I said INCASE, I meant this:

  • What is the best way to protect my new Macbook Pro?

    I finally have a shinny new 13" Macbook Pro Rentina and I'm wondering what is the best way to protect it? I am considering either a hard case or a sleeve but which one is the best? This thing is worth more than my car and I can't afford for anything to happen to it! Hard case? Sleeve? Both?

    Congratulations on your MBPR! I had the exact same question when I bought mine. I ended up using a hard case and a sleeve. For the case I went with the Kuzy Hard Case and an Incase Deluxe Sleeve. Using a sleeve and case is great and I feel like my Macbook is very well protected and I am no longer scared of breaking it with this setup! Best of luck!

  • What is the best way to protect my info in case my iPad is stolen

    Ideas for the best way to protect my info I'd my iPad is stolen or lost?

    I also had my iPad stolen, and thats when other troubles started! I received an email on my PC stating that my iTunes password had been reset.  The thief had done this!  So I rang the Apple help line to ask what to do. they said just reset the password, and as the thief couldnt access my emails it would be okay,,the Apple emails also suggested this.   But that was the issue that stupid me hadnt realised!!! As the iPad was receiving my emails the the thief could easily reset the iTunes password , and download muic and videos on my credit card on iTunes!!         As happened to me.
    Apple does not warn you of this possibility, even when i spoke to their Help line. And searched their website for advice
           So, my advice is, Do Not store your email password on your iPad, and  maybe, do not leave your credit card details with iTunes? An irritation I know! If you have not done these things, then if your iPad is stolen then immediately change your email password, and stop your iTunes credit card.
         Probably iTunes need a safer way to change passwords, like an sms code to allow password changes, as relying on emails is not safe, as the thief will frequently be receiving those emails too!!!

  • What's the best way to protect my code?

    What's the best way to protect my code from people reading it? Do obfuscators work well? If so, which one is really good?

    Obfuscation helps but is not a complete solution.
    Here is an idea to consider. Take the binaries(*.class) of the files you wish to protect and encrypt them. This would require you to write a small utility...not too hard. When you want to use these classes you decrypt them and dynamically load them. You could make a custom classloader to handle the details if you want to get fancy. The security of your classes would rest on the quality of the encryption you choose. A scheme such as this would be tough to reverse engineer using available tools.

  • What is the best way to find a file on the servers disk without using web.xml?

              What is the best way to find a file on the servers disk without using web.xml?
              I want to find a configuration file not contained within the war file I have
              created. Is there a way to pass information into the ServletContext with out
              rebuilding the ear or war files? Tomcat 4.0 can do this in its server configuration
              files. Does BEA have the equivalent?
              Regards,

    You can specify the path to the file as a system property
              eg
              java -Dconfig.file.location=./mydirecotry/myfile.txt com.test.MyApp

  • I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1. What is the best way to update my phone to the latest iOS platform?

    I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1. What is the best way to update my phone to the latest iOS platform?

    you can update over the air with strong wireless signal, or by connecting to a computer running iTunes.  Either works well.  If you do the update over the air, be sure and attach your iPhone to a wall outlet so you have a solid power supply and don't risk the battery dying during the update.
    The iTunes approach installs a much larger file because of the connection, but if you have not updated since 5.1 that might be a better approach...replace the entire operating system instead of patching. 
    Either way, backup the iPhone yourself just for your own protection in the off-chance something should go wrong...a little paranoia while updating is a good thing

    Depending on how long the site has been active, it may be
    already
    spidered by search engines and cached. However, for the most
    part, I
    usually use my FTP program OR even Dreamweaver itself (now
    that I can)
    to delete files on the server just as I do locally. Hit the
    delete and

  • What is the best way to connect a MacBook Pro to my HiFi system ?

    Hi,
    I'm new to Apple support communities having just bought my first Macbook Pro (a 17" 2.5GHz i7 model) and this is my very first community post.
    Im a bit of a Hi-Fi enthusiast, so, with my new MacBook Pro I've taken the opportunity of completely reloading my iTunes library in high quality Apple Lossless format. Took a while but now I've completed the task Im pleased I've done it.
    My question is, what is the best way to connect a Macbook Pro to a high quality Hi-Fi preamp - my Hi-fi system is musical Fidelity, and the pre amp (an A5  CR Pre amp) and this pre amp, which has superb audio quality, only has analogue phono inputs ? 
    I'm interested to understand what both the wired and wireless connection options are. I'm guessing one option must be to use the headphone output, but I have no idea if the output from the headphone socket on my new macbook (which is presumably designed to drive headphones) would be at a suitable level for a phono line level input ?
    Ive also read a few comments about using digital connection - and my second question would be - what is the audio digital connection on my macbook ?
    Aplogies if this question has been asked lots of times before but I've looked through some previous posts and can't find any answers in simple and straightforward language concentrating on the issue of connecting a MacBook Pro to an analogue phono pre amp input ?
    Thanks in anticipation of some advice.

    What is the best way to connect a MacBook Pro to my HiFi system?
    Look at the back of the reciever and see what your connection options are, the front headphone jack is output usually.
    The Mac's  analog audio in/out ports doubles as a optical in/out ports.
    The analog won't over power your amp, it's just a headphonejack, like a powered mic, just enough power to get the signal to the destination in one piece.
    Since you have a analog amp, your stuck with inferior analog connections, however you mentioned you wish to listen to the best sound quality of your lossless music.
    To do that your going to need a decent surround sound system with Toslink optical import jacks, a Toslink stereo jack to regular Toslink adapter, Toslink cable and enable the optical output in your System Preferences >Sound
    Another method is to use a Airport Express, it also has duo analog/opical out port. Then set up the Airport Express for iTunes streaming using the Airport Utility, then in iTunes setup the lower right corner one can set the connection.
    I recommned a Harmon Kardon surround sound system, with their 100 watt satelight speakers and the 200 watt subwoofer. Enable the "concert hall" and other neat effects which will turn your 2.0 (stereo) iTunes music into 4 channel speaker sound filling the room with music and sending the lower channels to the subwoofer.
    It will likely bring tears to your eyes that you can actually hear the full quality of your music as intended, I almost quarranty you will never want listen to music on a crappy iPhone or iPod again.
    If a surround sound system is out of your budget, you can get by using the Harmon Kardon "Go Play" portable stereo and a analog stereo cable.
    If your going to use your analog amp to power reference speakers, then there are various analog adapters of all sorts to make the appropriate connections once you know what they are, check out Radio Shack online for them.

  • What is the BEST way to get my macbook with lion on it, to communicate with my Canon 40D camera?

    What is the BEST way to get my macbook with lion on it, to communicate with my Canon 40D camera? It says the utility disk is a PowerPC app and that is no longer supported. What do I do now? I can't upload photos from my camera.

    Also, I had the same problem happen when I tried to install an older version of Corel Painter. Are Macbook Pro users just NOT supposed to be able to use their laptops for the purposes they are best designed for?

  • What is the best way to increase my macbook pro's memory, it is 4g now.

    What is the best way to increase my Macbook's memory? it is a 4g now.

    And what is the exact model of MBP that you have?
    Normally, assuming your Mac supports more than 4 GBs, the best way is to buy the specific RAM required for your machine to replace the RAM that is now installed. But we can't tell you that without knowing what model you have.
    Open System Profiler in the Utilities folder and report what you find displayed for the Model Identifier.
