hi all, one question here.


When I drag songs from External HDD to iTunes, it will create a new Copy of the songs into my Mac HDD which I don't like.


How to play songs in iTunes via External HDD ?

More and more posts that are out of topic, but I guess it is easier to ask question here rather than asking in different thread and not receiving any answer smile.gif Anyway, to answer your question, check this link:

In windows, we can terminate a 'hanged' application by accessing the task manager via ctrl+ALT+DEL or ALT+F4  .... how do you do that in MBP?

I installed Windows Live Messenger for Mac and it 'hanged' !!

If you've recently downloaded a free screensaver from 7art, take note of the following article.

After you're done removing the spyware, please sit in a secluded corner with the 'Dunce' hat and think of what you've done.

Hi. I want to ask : How many cycles do you guys charge your MB's in a week? I'm always lazy to take out the charger after the battery is fully charged, as I'm scared I'll forget to put it back later. So, I was wondering if it was alright.
Thanks. ^^

Well, I thought that you're not supposed to "overcharge" your Mac as the battery would rosak faster? Of course, but I'm damn lazy so I always keep my charger on. XD

Modern chargers, laptops or otherwise do not "overcharge" anymore.

The best anti-spyware is still common sense. To educate and improve said sense, please read McAfee's article, "Most Dangerous Search Terms". ZDnet has a summary of the research.

it's really simple. if u take out the charger all the time when ur MBP is fully charged, then you'll be using ur battery too often.

this makes ur battery dies much earlier than it should

then u need to get a new battery. and again. and again.

so why not juz save ur battery cycle n just run off the charger? smile.gif

Geez ... who would want a SIRIM sticker on their MBP?

I think the sticker would actually de-value the MBP. tongue.gif
