Who has received their 17" MBP?

Hey guys
Ok - who has recieved their 17" MBP already?
Info please - we are very eager to hear how it is to work with.
Is the display any good?
Does it whine?
Does it burn your lap?
How's the battery life?
Thanks in advance, and congrats!!
Nick

No wine at all (batt or ac). It gets warm to hot just like my ibook G4 and my wife's sony vaio laptop. We both use targus notebook chill pad. (On sale this week at best buy for $ 19.99). I havn't run batt test yet but does seem to last 4-5 hrs when just surfing the web. A lot less when burning dvd's. By the way sony batts are 2x the price of apple's. I do have a hindge problem that I will get fixed in the future. The hard drive is a lot easier to replace. If I could buy it all over again I wouldn't of waited to by one!! Hope this helps. By the way, I've only had an apple for 1 year.

  • To anyone who has received their iphone bill from at&t

    All over the internet there are pages with people that had 6 thousand dollar iphone bill. if you have unlimited data and messaging, is there any other hidden fees to worry about?

    Only with those who traveled abroad and were roaming internationally via an AT&T partner network. International roaming rates for calls is very expensive and even more expensive for data rates when roaming which is charged by the KB for uploaded/downloaded data - when web browsing and downloading/sending email.
    I've seen some folks here report a significant bill when doing so but I haven't seen anyone report a $6,000 bill.
    Regardless, this can't occur when accessing data in the U.S. since the $20/mo data plan required with the iPhone is 100% unlimited but if by chance this does occur due to some unusual billing error, a call to AT&T will take care of it - no different with any other billing error by a company.

  • Has anyone received their C2D MBP with 3GB RAM?

    For those that have ordered a 15" C2D MBP with 3GB of RAM:
    a) have you received their order yet, and if so, did it take a while to ship (mine's taking forever to ship);
    b) do you feel that the extra 1GB was worthwhile paying for in terms of performance under programs such as photoshop CS2 etc.
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   667 MHz PPC

    Yes, I received my 15-incher with 3gb of RAM and 160gb HD. I ordered about an hour after the store came back up with the updated specs on 10/24, it shipped late on 10/26, and I received it on 10/30.
    I've not tried CS2 - I have that but currently run it on my Dell desktop. I'll be migrating my photography workflow over to the Mac next spring, when Adobe univeral binaries become available, at which time I'll replace the Dell with a Mac Pro.
    I can say, having started working with the Aperture trial and Parallels running Windows XP (to which I have a gig of RAM dedicated when running the VM), that the extra memory seems to make a significant difference. I'm not at all sorry I bit the bullet for that extra gig - especially since Apple's price vis-a-vis that upgrade seems very reasonable relative to the aftermarket memory providers.
    Good luck on receiving yours soon. This is a wonderful machine...

  • Multiple Recipients - How do I know who has received my text?

    I sent a text message to multiple (43) recipients earlier, using my iPhone4
    I know some peiple have recieved it as they have replied.
    I also know that some people did not receive it as i asked them.
    Is there any way i can tell which of the 43 recipients did not receive it?  Often when i send a text and it does not go through (because i have a lousy signal that keeps dropping when i am at home - but that is another issue i have with vodafone!) i get the red exclamation symbol telling me to try again, but this function only works with single messages and it appears that even if the message has not gone out to all, the message still appears as sent.
    Any ideas anyone?  Thank you

    No sorry that not possible with the IOS feature.  I would try cutting down the number of recipeints to maybe 10 each when you send the group text.

  • Email: I tried to "Send" an email with about 30 addresses, and it refuses to fly. What can I co? I am not aware of anyone who has changed their address.

    I regularly send out a monthly email announcement to about 30 people.
    This time it will not Send.
    What could be the problem?

    It is hardly Apple's fault that Epson can't/won't update their driver, but at least Epson suggest that you use the Gutenprint driver, which in any case is far better that what Epson offer.
    You can get it here:
    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/
    You can download the latest version from here:

    Have you downloaded the recent Apple update to Epson drivers?

  • Who has had their Hard Drive replaced before!?

    Hey everyone I just want to know if you have had your hard drive replaced before. If so please tell us what symptoms your computer had and a little about the process and also the cost of having someone do it for you. Thank you in advance for your comments.

    I just had mine replaced. My apps were all running fine. The main tell I have noticed as my dorm tech guy is unusual noises coming from the drive. If a higher pitched sound is coming from the left side then normal, it seems to be reading and writting when not in use, or like mine it sounded like a buzz saw was running, then likely a hard drive problem. Luckily for me I had 17 days left on my apple care, but a new hard drive shouldnt cost to much, and if your familiar with taking apart computers you can do it yourself...

  • My power button doesnt work. Ive seen someone who has reconfigured their buttons, so that if they press both volume keys phone turns off. Ive looked into this, and it seems to use a jailbroken app. Can I do this with a non jailbroken phone?

    This person was able to choose which action, (shaking the phone, pressing both volume keys) turned the phone off/sent it to sleep instead. I have a 3gs.

    Sounds like a very uncomfotable situation. This is, however,  user-to-user technical support forum. Your post is really outside of what's appropriate here. For an issue with the store, I would take it up with the manager directly or, if you don't get a hearing, ask for the name of the district manager. For Apple Care, you would also need to request to speak to a supervisor.
    If all else fails, write a letter to corporate headquarters. See the Contact Us link at the lower right.
    Best of luck.

  • Has anyone in Canada Ontario received their 4s?

    I pr-ordered from apple on the morning pre-orders started  and my account still says "processing items". Just wondering if anyone in Ontario has received their new phone or atleast if the status has moved to shipped?

    I ordered a white one BTO, it sounds like black ones are in slightly higher demand and therefore taking longer to ship (or maybe they have to spray it black and wait for drying time :-)). Also, sounds like there was some bad weather in China which delayed some of the shipping by a day or two, but everything appears to be back on track now.
    I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much, but hopefully it'll ship much before this weekend! Wishing i hadn't waited so long to order, had basically made up my mind before they were released.

  • Has anybody received their sports card yet???

    wondering if anybody has received their sports card yet?
    i was promised a replacement (for one that never arrived!!) due for delivery over two weeks ago!
    I rang BT up to check when it would arrive and that it had been ordered to get the information!!
    I'm fed up waiting over 30 mins to get through on the phone and obviously being told a pack of lies -- so far!!
    so has anybody actually received a card? begining to think this is a hoax!! :-)

  • Books in Australia - anyone received theirs yet?

    Hi
    I'm just about to order my first book and curious to know if anyone in Australia has received theirs yet?
    Are you happy with the quality? What was the time frame between ordering and getting it in the mail?
    Thanks

    Well my large hardcover book arrived and all I can say is WOW! The photos look fantastic. The print looks like it has been printed by a proper offset ink printer (not a laser, dye sub or bubble jet that's for sure).
    I'll try and post some pictures of the book here (as well as some of the originals) later today.
    It took my book 19 days to arrive (14 business days) and I had 60 pages in my book.
    If I only have one criticism: the colour reproduction of the dust cover is slightly desaturated - a satin-type paper which may have influenced this. Next time I may just bump the saturation on the cover a little. The other pictures look JUST like they do on-screen and my monitor is calibrated.
    Cheers,
    Paul

  • Has anyone who ordered an iPhone 5s gold actually received their phone yet?

    I am just wondering if anyone who ordered an iPhone 5s online for Verizon has actually received their phone yet. Since they haven't received any at the Apple stores I am wondering if anyone has an idea of when they will actually start shipping them out.
    Thanks

    Hi Mmaluski,
    The Apple store indicates that they ship in October, so I would guess sometime between now and Halloween?
    I don't think anyone here has a more specific idea than that....
    Sorry,

  • Has anyone who ordered actually received their phone(s) yet?

    It doesn't seem like the phones are even shipping out to those who have ordered them. I ordered on the 29th of September and I have a placeholder "expected shipping date" of October 31st. It doesn't look good on my end seeing as people who pre-ordered still haven't received their phones yet. Is there any other way to get a more accurate idea of where my order is and when I will actually receive my phones? The one line synopsis on the order tracking page just isn't enough.

    Agreed. I ordered two phones the 25th and I've seen minimal movement. All that has happened for me is my recent orders now shows the products I ordered. Very frustrating. I will never order from Verizon again when local stores, along with Apple, have my phones in stock. It's all about sales!

  • Has Anyone Across this Nation Received their new 3GS Yet???

    Has anyone received their new 3Gs Iphone yet. I presume everyone will get them at random times throughout the day, with the East Coast possible being first because of the working hours for the deliverers. Found out mine is actually coming by FEDEX and some have told me theirs will be coming by USPS. So can someone who first receives a phone please let the rest of us know? Thanks!

    Hi,
    It's approx. 9:45 AM here in Virginia and I have a black 32G 3Gs in hand. I'm so hapy with it! It's my first iphone. I went to my local Apple store and waited approx. an hour in line and paying the $300 was worth everything! I just love it!!!
    All the basic features seem to be working OK. I can surf the web and I was able to jump on my local home network; it found it and automatically asked if I wanted to join it. Loaded some apps.: Sirus/XM - incidentally, Howard Stern doesn't seem to be on the available. I'll have to investigate more on this. It'll be a bummer if he's not accessible on iphone sirius. The camera and video works great. The Apple staff at the retail store here in Fairfax, VA's Fair Oaks Mall were great! It was painless and they were very accomdating. They even served coffee and bottled water and some fruit bars while were waiting in line. Go Apple Go! What a beautiful puiece of machinery. Everyone good luck. Goodbye Verizon.

  • Is there a way to increase the icon size (and the text below) without using zoom?  I am trying to help out someone who has moderate visual impairment that does not want to use zoom just to see the icons and their labels.

    Is there a way to increase the icon size (and the text below) without using zoom in iOS 7?  I am trying to help out someone who has moderate visual impairment that does not want to use zoom just to see the icons and their labels.

    Hello Apple.
    It seems you have gone to great lengths to improve accessibility in many areas of the iPad. Why was this obvious problem with icon text size missed?  (It's not with the Mac.). And for so long too.
    Do you employ people with actual accessibility problems to help you do UI design?
    I think too, that some buttons are too close for people who might have motor control problems.
    I love my iPad but I fear as I age, the iPad might not keep up with me.

  • Since last weekend (3-15-15) I have been unable to send/receive text messages with a friend who has Sprint service. The messages send with no errors on either side, but neither side is receiving the messages. Is anyone else having any similar issues?

    Since last weekend (3-15-15) I have been unable to send/receive text messages with a friend who has Sprint service. The messages send with no errors on either side, but neither side is receiving the messages. It seems to be only this one person affected by this issue, everyone else that I've tried sending messages to has responded with no trouble. Is anyone else having any similar issues?

    Retrohacker, Your text messages are too important to be missed! Let's figure this out, together. Are you able to successfully make and receive calls from your friend? Which phone do you have with us? Any new messaging applications or changes that you can recall on the phone since this issue began?
