LOL the overcharge thing u quoted was about magic mouse dude... the one asking about SL is another guy tongue.gif

plus SL family pack is rm80 extra not rm50

anyway yeah SL is cheaper than windows 7 smile.gif plus, SL dun have basic version la, home la ultimate la... rm109 is for the best version already smile.gif
*
abt SL if i wan the family pack its rm109 + rm80?

wats the difference between the family and non family pack?

i tot SL can be installed into numerous mac machines without activation like Windows

my mac book now is installed wif Win7 , so any pointers if i wanna install SL back into my mac?

juz by pressing the C button as the dvd boots up???
pls advice
thanks

family pack is Rm189. the difference is family pack contains 5 licenses (or is it 3? someone help clarify on this), meaning u can legally install on 5 macs. and yes, u can use a single DVD to install on multiple macs without activation, it's just that it's against the EULA.

do u mean ur macbook now only has windows7 with no mac partition? if u still have a mac partition, then just boot into OSX, insert the SL dvd n juz follow the instructions, very easy

if no mac partition, boot up, quickly insert DVD and press C before the chime. when the dvd loads, at the top go to Utilities > Disk Utility. create a partition for OSX. im not sure if this works though, nvr did it myself. if u dont mind getting rid of the windows partition, juz format the disk (obviously u shud copy ur files somewhere else 1st) n install SL
*
i will definately follow your guide when i install SL.
now my mac only hav one partition, ie Win7 and i gonna wipe clean the HDD to do a clean SL install
thanks bro

and btw, currently my mac's Win7 dont detect any bluetooth support, if i install back SL, will bluetooth be able to use again as i guess my 2.4GHz mac comes wif bluetooth module rite?

oic. if u gonna wipe then no problem. juz go into disk utility as i mentioned, select ur drive on the left (the drive, not the volume), go to the Erase tab, n erase smile.gif then proceed with the SL installation. youtube has a view videos u can watch to have some idea

all macs have bluetooth module. it doesnt work in win7 probably because of no driver support. it should work fine in OSX. did it work before u install win7?
*
it worked when it was in OSX leopard and one more thing, now in windows, the eject button too wont work, hav to eject fr "my computer" laugh.gif

@su ting

It's not good to take out battery for mac. When AC power is connected, your current will direct by pass battery and connect to your macbook instead. So, what u gonna do is, everytime when u turn on ur AC power wait the indicator until it turns green ONLY you switch on your macbook. Get it? smile.gif  hehe
*
if its orange, is it advisable to turn on the mac or ONLY on when its green?

does this applies to all macs,...........Ibook, Powerbook, Mac Book and Mac Book Pro?

so when its still orange,its also safe to use and no harm will be done to the battery life ?

- No, but first backup your most important file. You can do it DIY or use a backup hdd and switch on the time machine.
*
but the prob is tat when i try to do a disc scan ( asked by system to insert my SL dvd into my macbk, the system hanged )
i dun mind to change to a new hdd as i juz installed SL into the current hdd juz 2 days ago and there is not important data there yet
i suspected tat the hdd is faulty because b4 the SL installation, my macbk was installed wif win7 i also hav prob wif the win7 installation which require disc scan

Yeap, thats the cons of using virtual machine. So, what program do ur computing class using? And in bootcamp, the function for "tap to click" is actually there! and the brightness can dim it down. In ur bootcamp, you should change the power performance to "balance" not "performance" so that you will have a longer bettery life. Guess what? my mbp with 9600 when switch to "performance" for the power performance, the battery only last 1 hour.  drool.gif but in SL, with 9600 can last 3hrs something. cool2.gif

i installed win7 into my mbw(only win7)................. bluetooth dun work and the sound driver dun either but once i downloaded the HD audio driver it worked BUT bluetooth stays dead.............

once i installed SL all is fine, bootcamp users how is the bluetooth support for win7?
