Wise to buy now?

I have just placed an order for a 2GHz MBP on Apple Store.
I was aware of some problems regarding whine, heat etc. befofore placing the order, but I decided to go ahead anyway. Have I made a wise move? Should I still be concerned and should I cancel?
Any/all comments welcome.

Well, the problem is that nobody can say for sure what the best option is right now. For me, I have purchased the top of the line PowerBook as of January 2006, that is, until the MacBook Pro was introduced. Due to the lack of Universal Binaries (which won't be a problem very soon), I think that making the expensive switch to Intel based Macs is a relatively bad idea. Especially when there are rumors in the mix about whining laptops, flashing LCD screens, and malfunctioning AirPort Extreme cards. It just doesn't seem worth the effort to buy something with the knowledge that you might be sending it right back due to hardware problems beyond your control.
HOWEVER, with the added firmware, "Boot Camp", you could be putting all these rumors to rest. Just the idea of loading any Windows based software onto a Mac seems to make it all worth while. Can't wait until the end of May to get your hands on Call of Duty 2 for Mac? Then go ahead and get yourself the best MacBook Pro and go at it through the Windows XP system. On top of that, ANY software that isn't available for the Mac is available through an Intel machine. So that makes the notion of the Intel Macs VERY effecient.
So, I think that if you save your bucks, and even wait for the "newer MacBooks" that are probably coming out before or during this upcoming summer, I believe it would be a very wise and wallet saving decision. I just know that Apple is going to introduce something better than the MacBook Pro, such as a larger screen or a slightly faster processor speed, something that will make the quick buyer of a MacBook Pro look pretty childish and impatient.
Trust me, good things come to those who wait!

I want to order photos on iPhoto. I have logged in one photo, and then my choices are cancel and buy now. How do I order more than one photo at a time?

I would like to order more than one photo on iPhoto. I have downloaded one picture, and then my choices are cancel and buy now. I would like to download other photos to have them printed, too. How do I do that?

Wich version of iPhoto do you have? You need iPhoto '09 or '11 to order prints.
Make an album of all photos you want to order in the same order.
Then select all photos at once, when you use Share > order prints.
You should see a panel like this, where you can mark the quantities. The screenshot is from iPhoto 9.6:

How do I get the packing slips to print the selections made under a buy now button

So I started using paypal packing slips about a year and half ago, instead of manually copying the info into an excel document version to create the packing slip. I use the packing slips to make sure I have the order correct and done before packing and then printing out the label. For the past year and half if it is a 'buy now' button with drop down selections, I have to manually edit each one to copy and paste the info from the payment notification into the end of 'thank you' text field. and in the process I have to remember to de-select the save button each time so I don't accidently put that info on my next order. Is there a way either with the button itself or the packing slip to select to have it print out the selections made on the packing slip? Given that in a few cases there are several drop downs, I need them all to list. It would save me a little time with each order and more importantly make sure I have the correct information on the correct packing slip. The information is there. just have not figured out how to automatically have it print on the packing slip. For trivia: I have no problem when I send an invoice or have an item with no selections, but for those items that have selections, because most of my items have several similar variations available, it would be really nice to be able to have it automatically put that information on the packing slip.
Thanks for any help.

Could you check your "shrink to fit" and scaling settings? Easiest way is:
tap the Alt key > File > Page Setup
The default would be
* Scale: 100
* Shrink to fit checked (this disables editing the Scale box, but you can uncheck it, edit, then re-check it)
If those are at their default settings, perhaps they do not work well for particular pages? You can use Print Preview to examine how shrink-to-fit works on that page and override it by using a different percentage instead.
Occasionally Firefox printer data gets garbled and manual adjustments don't seem to work. In that case, you can "reset" those printer settings. This article has the steps: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problems_printing_web_pages#Reset_printer

Help Upgrading from Trial version to Full version of PSE 10. Buy Now Link in my Editor not working

Went to convert from my free trial and purchase full version. When I hit the "Buy Now" button within my Editor, nothing happens. How do I proceed to upgrade? Thank you for your time and help!

[email protected] I would recommend purchasing the software directly from our website. http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-elements.html After you make the purchase you can then enter the serial number you received into the trial.

My Adobe trial for Photoshop Elements 10 for the Mac was over and I wanted to buy the application. The screen message was "Your trial has expired...but the fun doesn't have to end! Buy now to continue using Photoshop Elements 10 without having to download

My Adobe trial for Photoshop Elements 10 for the Mac was over and I wanted to buy the application. The screen message was "Your trial has expired...but the fun doesn't have to end! Buy now to continue using Photoshop Elements 10 without having to download or re-install. " and then the button "Buy Now". When I hit the Buy Now button I am put in a field to buy Photoshop Elements 13, with no way to change to Elements 10. I do not want to go through the hassle of reinstalling etc. In fairness, it's been over a month since making the decision to buy. Still, I consider this a nightmare. Any ideas on how to buy the app I've got withou having to purchase a whole new one? Thanks.
If worse comes to worse, will I need to uninstall the trial if I buy a new version? Can I use part of it lime download assistant?

Adobe does not sell older versions of their software. If you wish to purchase an older version you will have to find and take your chances with a third party vendor.

How to us Paypal "Buy Now" in BB web browser

I am unable to complete a purchase using a paypal "buy now" or "Add to Cart" button in the BB web browser or Opera Mini. When I click these buttons I am directed to Paypal's homepage.
I have a BB 8330 with Verizon service
Thanks for your assistance!

Hi and thanks for your support!
I do have a paypal account and when I log in I am taken to my standard log in page with my account history, add funds, withdraw, history, etc options. But no option to complete the transaction, or even any sign that a transaction attempt is being made. (This is all taking place in opera mini browser)
If I attempt to make a purchase in the BB browser I am taken to my mobile paypal account that still has no option or sign of the transaction.
Thanks again! I like all your smiles!

Special offers, not showing same price on Buy Now

I have been interested in trying a Skype phone and noticed the RTX4088 in the Special Offers section as being 15% off, marked down from $117.49 to $99.87. But, when I click on Buy now, it takes me to a cart page and the price jumps to $146.86 marked down to $117.49. What gives? Skype, any help here? I wondered if it was a currency difference, but the item shows a big C next to it on the Special Offers page, that seems to match up with Canadian, as I am from Canada. And on the Buy now page it has a big C as well. So, I can't see that the currency is switching. Something doesn't seem right here with price differences, but I'm not sure what the answer is.

I don't believe Skype controls the prices merchants post. I can't verify what you are seeing from my location but I can tell you I've seen price discrepancies before. Generally I see the lowest prices by the Chat and Vision merchant. You can also buy from alternate merchants that are usually more expensive. When you go the normal route in the store you are given that option. What I believe is happening is that device is not available from the lower price merchant in your region so it defaults to the next lowest priced merchant. It's probably doing this seamlessly from the Special Offers page, thus creating the price discrepancy.

The 'buy now' button doesn't work

When I click "Buy Now" in iPhoto's book I get the following message: Your book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue?"

When I click "Buy Now" in iPhoto's book I get the following message: "Your book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue?"
How do I proceed? How do I identify which is "default text?"

What version of iPhoto are you using?
Go thru each page, check the layout to see if there's a text box included on the page and make sure there is text in that text box. If not it may show the "holding" text like this:
If you don't want to change the page layout to one that only has photos and no text boxes just select that holding text and put a space in its place.

Landing Page with Buy now Buttons for products?

Hi,
I've been searching all morning and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction please.
We have 1000 products on BC and I wanted to create a custom landing style page offering 3 set products that people can click to buy now. ie just a simple buy now button.
I don't want it to look like our normal small or large catalogue but as a separate landing page.
I would like when the customers to click Buy Now or Add to Cart that it adds them to the cart.
e.g
blah blah blah
large image of the item
underneath = Buy Now / Add to cart
blah blah blah
large image of the item
underneath = Buy Now / Add to cart
etc.
I tried using {module_product} inseting the item but it only shows a tiny pic and has no buy now button.
I also tried inserting an actual html code of the products button, but it didn't work either.
<div><img src="/images/btn_addtocart.png" alt="add to cart" onclick="AddToCart(98416,1375845,'',3,'','',false);return false;" /></div>
If I just create them as text is there a product specific buy now button I can insert so that item gets added?
I've seen websites do this with a paypal buy button but then it wont go through our CRM etc.
Any ideas?
Thank you

My routine, as always, has been to do the pages in iWeb and then using iWeb I select "Publish site changes" to a folder locally on my drive. Then, using Transmit (and I have used Cyberduck) I upload the folder of files and the file ending in .html for the changed pages to my server that hosts the site. What you are telling me is that either iWeb is not "publishing" all the changed files to my local folder, or there are files that are located somewhere else within the structure of the site that I have failed to upload.
I looked for paste.css files and found it in the scripts > regions or whatever folder but these are not files that I typically have ever looked for or uploaded when changing a page in iWeb.

How do I get annoying AI "buy now" pop up to stop opening?

How do I get annoying AI "buy now" pop up to stop opening everytime I open or save a PDF? It's been happening ever since I downloaded a free 30 day trial of the AI software (which has since expired).

When you install files, files and data get written to various system elements on your machine such as your registry and other key places.
When you simply delete an installed file or folder, you are leaving behind all of these things.
When you uninstall, these pieces are dealt with so that they no longer have an impact on the operation of your system.

When accessing the Itunes store on my Touch, I am unable to click "buy now," though I can search and preview items.

When accessing the Itunes store on my Touch, I am unable to click "buy now," though I can search and preview items. I have already cleared off and made enough disc space. Unsure what the issue could be.

PayPal Buy Now Button Problem

I have a Photography site that uses the BUY NOW buttons from
the PayPal ecommerce tool kit extension. Each of the "buy" pages
have the same info for purchasing. I recently upgraded to 8 (pc, XP
Home Edition), since then, when I copy/paste my "buy now" table (
which has always worked before), somewhere between the copy and
Paste a number 2 is added to "cmd" on one line of the code (see
below). This breaks the buttons. Even the Buy Now button disappears
from the wizard window as well.
Any idea what's up with this?
Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to give.

You may want to turn off "Rename form items when pasting"
It's under:
Edit -> Preferences -> Code Rewriting

I have an i tunes a/c and wish to buy pages and numbers. when I press on the 'buy now' button, it turns green but then nothing happens, the page remains on the screen and they don't appear on my account What to do?

Problems buying 'pages and numbers, I have an itunes a/c and have been trying to buy pages and numbers for 2 weeks now. When I press the green button to 'Buy now' nothing happens, the page remains on the screen. If I open my account, i haven't purchased anything
Has any-one experienced this problem
Thanks

Just to clarify...
Did you know that by purchasing it in iTunes, you are purchasing the iOS version of Pages and Numbers? If you wanted the Mac version, it should be downloaded from the Mac App Store.
If you DID want to download a copy for an iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, then try purchasing these apps on one of those devices rather than iTunes and see if it works.
