What makes macbook so cheap?

I find the price of macbook is suprisely low, since it can run on windows too, and im doubt on the quality of the macbook, So what actually makes it so cheap?

It really is a god deal, the only thing that makes the base model extra affordable is the lack of a DVDRW and as a whole the entire line uses integrated graphics, which apparantly saved apple quite a bit of money and was able to offer the models at such a reasonable price.
I haven't seen anything that matches the macbook in the pc world price wise. The closest thing is a Sony Vaio SZ series, which is extremely similar to the macbook (13.3 w/ core duo), it even has a camera built into the screen. What is different about the sony though is that it has a real GPU, weighs less, but a model similar to the 1.83 base model macbook costs 1589.99 and of course it only runs windows!

What make macbook TRACKPAD click back uP?!

Hello, I just replaced the topcase to a macbook. The trackpad stopped clicking. I know about the torx screw that you can tighten/loosen to adjust the click. That isn't the problem. When I hold the topcase upside down. It clicks and then drops back down due to gravity. Theoretically everything as far as the "clicking" works. However, when I sit it down so that I would be typing...and I click. It just goes down and never "pops" back up. I do not think their is a spring that makes it pop up. Does anyone know what makes it resist gravity and make it go up again? I did this all with the battery out...so it's not a battery bulge either. I took it down to the barebones, JUST the top case. Is there a magnet that is supposed to make it click back up when you click down on the trackpad? Any ideas...please tell me. I spent hours trying to figure this out. Thanks in advance.

I guess nobody knows, I figured it out. Underneath the screw there is a type of metal "bubble" think of a lid that "pops up" when you open up a bottle of pickles or whatever. This is what is underneath the trackpad that keeps it poping up and down.

Question: What makes of projectors can be connected to MacBook

Question: What makes of projectors can be connected to MacBook, also what kind of cable do I need?

Hi,
Modbus is restricted to addressing 247 devices on one data link, which limits the number of field devices that may be connected to a master station.
However, if you want to increase the number of slaves, you may use MODBUS/TCP.
Here is a link that might help you:
http://modbus.control.com/thread/1026247380.
The Schneider electric 174CEV30010 Modbus to Ethernet bridge is capable of addressing Modbus slaves from 1 to 247.
The actual number of devices which can be physically connected depends on the medium used and not on the fact it is Modbus.
Some examples:
RS232 is a 2 device point to point connection when using copper, however when using fiber (or other modems) it is possible to connect up to the maximum of 247 devices.
RS485 is multi-drop and supports 32 devices on a single network. When a repeater is used, on copper wire, the number of devices can usually be increased to 64.
Hope this helps.

What Makes the MacBook Pro better then MacBook Air?

What Makes the MacBook Pro better then MacBook Air?
I am considering getting a laptop of one of the 2.
I think Macbook pro is what i want as just a secondary computer, need a laptop that performs same as my desktop IMac
What are really the differences between the Pro and Air?
What Pro is best?
Anyone have problems? and am i best with paying for a brand new computer vs refurb?
thanks

It really depends what you use it for.
I'm in my senior years in high school and I just bought my macbook pro (15 in - $1799 w/out tax). I'm willing to spend the extra money as I am planning to use it to continue my education in post secondary school. I think that the MBP is great for work, designing and for professionals. The MBA is great for portability and chicness. The graphics on the MBP is beyond my expectations and it's great. Its great for many things.
It all comes to this. Are you willing to spend the extra money on a MBP. What will you be using your computer for? WIll you be using it for a very long time? Are you going to be careful with it? I heard that the MBA is flimsy and can easily break.
I also recommend you ask a person at the Genius Bar at your local Apple store and they will be glad to assist you. I researched for a solid half of a year before i made a decision and bought my macbook pro.
Hope this helps.

How do I find out what GB macbook pro I have.

How can I look to see what GB macbook pro I had I ordered the 8gb but on the reciept its saying 2X4GB I just want to make sure I got the 8 and not the 4.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The receipt wants to say that you ordered two modules of 4 GB of RAM, so after installing them, you will have 8 GB. If you have already installed this RAM, open  > About this Mac, and check Memory to check the amount of memory your Mac has

What make of RAM should be in a MacPro and would they all be the same make in a new computer?

My MacPro is only just over 3 years old and 6 of the 8RAM have stopped functioning.
I put the question - how long should RAM last - and had some replies.
One of the replies led me to wonder what make of RAM should be or should I expect to be in a New MacPro.
Should they all have been the same make when new?
2 of the 6 broken RAM are hynix which I believe are used by Apple. I don't know what the make of the 2 functioning RAM are?
The other 4 defunk RAM were made in Singapore with a logo - an oval with an M running through it. I can't find any reference to this on the web.
I am in discussion with the supplier of my Mac so any information would be of help.
8Gb of RAM should last longer than 3years.
The other downer/bad luck was that the Apple care package I bought ran out in January just a few months ago although this slowing of my computer started before then but only bad enough last week to have it checked out.
So disappointed with MacPro. I expected better.
I am having to go back to a PC which the Mac replaced which is still functioning after 7 years so......Mac or PC??????
At this moment in time the PC is proving more reliable and much cheaper!!!!
Thanks in advance

The cpu heat sinks are not attached to the ram and this is off topic so I am not going to debate it further with you. If you have a mac pro open it up and look inside for youself. If you don't stop speculating.
I should add these dimms do have their own heat sinks but they are physically part of each dimm itself.

What is the best & cheap backup solution for a macpro laptop?

What is the best & cheap backup solution for a macpro laptop? easy & simple to use

Basic Backup
For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components: 1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences; and, 2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the drive being backed up.
Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
SuperDuper!
Synk Pro
Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files.
Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
Cool Drives
OWC
WiebeTech
Firewire Direct
California Drives
NewEgg
All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

What causes Macbook Pro with Software OS X 10.8.5 (12F45) software to lock up?

What causes Macbook Pro with Software OS X 10.8.5 (12F45) software to lock up?

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

What makes the color of the icon for my external hard drive change to the color of the icon for Time Machine?

Perhaps when you first connected the drive you were asked if you wanted this to be used for TM. If you clicked yes it remembers that.

What makes a field eligible for selecting data in a subreport?

Hello,
I have posted the following question to [StackOverflow|http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4366702/what-makes-a-field-eligible-for-selecting-data-in-a-subreport], but it has so far generated no replies. I decided to cross-post it here to see if I could get a better result.
The TL;DR of it is that I have a field which I should be able to link in my Subreport, but it does not appear, and I was wondering what I need to do to make it appear.
I have a Crystal Report I'm trying to recreate from scratch after an update from VS2008 to VS2010 caused it to implode horribly.
I've gotten most of the way through, but I'm at a stage where I'm linking a field in the Main Report to a corresponding field in the Subreport.
I have set up a bunch of Database fields in the Subreport, I've added the table I want, TableA, I've linked it up as everything was linked in the original report, with TableA at the head of the linking chain, so that all the rows I want can be derived from the result of that first query ( Actually, all of the links from the original Report were red in the Database Fields linking dialog, whereas mine are a bit rainbow-y. All the links in TableA are red, though... _ )
In the "Subreport Links" dialog, I have an integer which I know is being pulled from the database correctly. I've added it in the "Fields to link to" listbox, and selected the newly-created parameter in the "Subreport parameter to use" combobox. I've ticked the "Select data in subreport based on field" checkbox.
The database field I want to link to then does not appear in the second combobox.
Another integer field in TableA shows up fine in the "Select data..." combobox (and is linked to another field being passed in), so I don't know why these two integer fields, which are equally important, and exist on the same level, on the same table, are being treated differently by the report designed.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Here is what I'd do:
1) Download CR 2008 eval designer from here:
http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
2) Try the linking in CR 2008 designer
3) If it does not work there, ask why not in the [CR design|SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio; forum.
4) If you get the linking working in the CR 200 designer, try to run the report in your VS2010 app (after ensuring the report woks as expected in CR 2008).
5) If (4) above works out for you, please let me know as this may be an issue with CRVS2010.

Safari 6 makes macbook pro run hot.

Hello, this is my first post in this forum.
I've noticed that often Safari makes macbook pro run hot. The fans speed up even though I don't have that many applications open and only a few Safari tabs open.
The only way to slow down the fan is to quit safari and open it. Did anyone else also notice this?
Also I have noticed that Safari doesn't display texts (especially in facebook chat) properly.

Try trashing the Safari cache more often ...
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari
Select Clear History (also empties the cache)
Deselect the remaining boxes then click Reset.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that doesn't help, check Safari > Preferences > Extensions
If there are any installed, turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test again.
Emptying the cache and deleting history may also help the Facebook text issue.

What makes the separation in VL10X ?

Hi !
It would be big help if you could help me with stock transfer document
(sorry, I don't know how to say in English)
made by ME21N.
I made 2 stock transfer documents by ME21N ,and tried to make delivery document by VL10X,
with the idea that I could make 1 delivery document.
(as 2 stock transfer documents has the same delivery point, plant as Vendor, etc.)
But there are 3 delivery document generated by VL10X.
I wonder what makes this separation !?
thanks in advance.

Dear wazukanahikari,
This delivery split would have happened because of different warehouse number. Warehouse number is assigned to the combination of Plant and Storage Location. Therefore, even if plant is same, there could be delivery split based on warehouse number.
So kindly check if warehouse number is same or different. The setting for the same can be checked using OVLP i.e. delivery item category
Kindly let me know if you get different solution
regards,
sagar

Hi Sathis,
Same proble i was faced recently.
The problem was occured because of error opening an RFC connection.
you can see by yourself in the following way.
Goto SM 59.
Select your appropriate RFC destionation say if destination is assigned 'TCP/IP connection' or 'R/3 Connection', under that select ur destination and press 'TEST <b>CONNECTION'</b> if shows green mark there is no error in connection or it indicates with red there is error in RFC destination connection.
Suppose if error is occured there is no basic communication setting done between these cleints, if it is case you would be go and talk to BASIS guy and he will make provides destination.
if any furthore doubts feel free to mail me to [email protected] or reach me 09886869625

Any more info? It could be many things including what you are doing - you do not "move" anything to the iPhoto library - you use iPhoto (or image capture) to "import" into iPhoto
We know nothing except what you tell us so full information and correct terminology is critical to getting valid answers - the more that is left to one guessing and assuming the better the chance of a bad answer
