QUOTE(dvlzplayground @ Feb 27 2010, 06:04 PM) 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. i will definately follow your guide when i install SL. 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 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? |

QUOTE(dvlzplayground @ Feb 27 2010, 08:26 PM) 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 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" 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? |

QUOTE(Jing-leBelle @ Mar 14 2010, 03:48 PM) @su ting if its orange, is it advisable to turn on the mac or ONLY on when its green?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? |

QUOTE(ginolo @ Apr 4 2010, 06:05 PM) which one? did you do the disc scan? 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 )if so will it be better to buy a new and bigger hdd, juz incase the hdd die when i needed it most? - No, but first backup your most important file. You can do it DIY or use a backup hdd and switch on the time machine. 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 |

QUOTE(ginolo @ Apr 4 2010, 09:57 PM) 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. 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? |
