QUOTE(CreamMilk @ Jun 29 2010, 08:51 AM) sorry to ask, but I was connecting my pc and mac with RJ-45 cable, direct connection. Open my PC share folder with smb:// protocol. Then I just transfer files from mac to pc, which previously I backup from my pc to mac. I am very sure I didn't install NTFS-3G or any other NTFS tool, because the mac is brand new. May I know what happen? As I know Mac couldn't "write" to NTFS... Although they are some file with chinese filename will give me error, but most of the files transfer back to my pc without any problem  RJ-45 cable means you linked both computers via network, hence the issue of file systems does not arise. An expert in NTFS and HFS+ can probably explain why. |

i think mine is 2008 mid year model. it was the 1st version with multi touch pad (release after the 1st macbook air).... and after few months apple released uni body ...  apple allow me to claim the battery under warranty bcoz my battery charge cycle was pretty low yet the battery health is RED already (totally bad).
