RM4499 still for the 2.26Ghz. I just hope Apple doesn't refresh their line of MacBook Pros too often. Unless they have a trade in program which would be awesome

Guys, I'm having a 'no entry' sign everytime I boot up my MBP but when I can go to safe mode, restart and it will be back to normal. It's just that once I shut it down, the problem will come up again when I want to boot up. I ran Apple Hardware Test with the applications CD and found nothing wrong. I even verified my Macintosh HD, repaired disk, verified permissions and repaired permissions.
Additionally, I have tried the method of resetting PVRAM by pressing Command + Option + P + R during boot up but to no avail!
I think I have exhausted almost all the options available. Does that mean I must do a clean reinstallation of my Mac OS now?
I'm currently on 10.6.2, which is upgraded using the SL upgrade CD.

Dear All, Sorry for asking some noobie questions 1) How do I move my itunes library (MP3) from my HP laptop to my MBP. Can I Copy and paste using an external hardisk or there is a better way? 2) Also for my other important apps such as casio photo app, blackberry desktop, and what not, do I need to setup again using their original CDs? Thanks for the help
