QUOTE(harmeet15 @ Apr 22 2010, 12:59 AM) supposedly, if u try to cover the area on the left of the camera, the screen wud be dimmed n da keyboards brighten vice versa. erm... i dunno my keyboard got react to the dimmer light or not.. not much diff if not mistaken...My screen is getting dimmed but keyboard doesn't react to that sensor. Shud I wurry? but i did a stupid experiment just now.. i try to press f6 and make the kb light to the max.. then turn off the room light.. the kb light indicator become about 60%.. u can check that by pressing f5 or f6 after u switch off ur room light QUOTE(jonest @ Apr 22 2010, 01:12 AM) try check the keyboard setting, the illumination could be turned on / off. haha.. we just got it today.. still got a lot to learn Added on April 22, 2010, 1:14 amor try pressing f5 / f6 to dim the keyboard lite! just found out.  |

QUOTE(harmeet15 @ Apr 22 2010, 07:49 AM) i saw the option to turn off n on.. when u cover the sensor.. u try to press f5/f6.. u will see some drop in the indicator..the thing is.. its suppose to work like this, when in bright light conditions, they keyboard lite wud be off, in dark environment, auto-on so, to try, i first set it to full, cover and un-cover the sensor, it shud show an effect of turning on n off the keyboard lite... but for me.. even in bright light.. my KB will still lit.. QUOTE(azrinarizz @ Apr 22 2010, 09:44 AM) My 13" capacity is much lower. I have already done 2 cycles  I would like to ask, is it alright if I plug my MBP 24/7 to the charger everytime I use. When I am done, I just switch the MBP off and off the power switch. Then when I want to use it again, I will switch the power switch back on.  QUOTE(tarvalslain87 @ Apr 22 2010, 09:57 AM) Wow... all of you keep testing already.. haha.. Tonight ill go back and spend the whole night testing =)... Hope mine not much problem lo... press the apple logo on top left.. the about this mac.. mine already 10.6.3Eh btw wanna ask... How to differentiate your Mac OS X is SL or the older OS? Didnt manage to check the OS settings yet as I never on yet... Cause I see you guys wallpaper seems like all the same and cnanot differentiate which OS... QUOTE(izact @ Apr 22 2010, 11:28 AM) @tarvalslain87..what a relief then..fuhh..yes i hv the itunes ID and the whole process was signed in from that ID. but i did re-entered the CC digits in the "Buy with 1-click" setting just to confirmed. So..for now..i just need to wait for the shipment day lah..is there anything i should expect within that period? shop for sleeve... palm protector.. notebook bag.. DVI adapter(if u hv external screen).. a good external harddisk to do backup with time machine.. all these easily cost another 1k  |

QUOTE(tarvalslain87 @ Apr 23 2010, 11:08 AM) Oh what happened.. After restart is it back to normal? Maybe the macbook didnt really get warm up yet... So shouldnt be a problem just a small hiccup... Or it may due to your office network that made it hang... You can try again to connect to the network and see if it reoccurs again.. now ok d.. using it now.. hopefully will not have this problem often.. once in maybe 3 months i still ok bcoz this happened almost everyweek in my PC |

i have a simple question.. just wonder how u guys handle your documents and folders...
in PC i used to: C drive: programs and windows D drive: for working purposes E drive: for entertainment, music or some games.. in Mac.. how you organise it? i plan to: 1) go finder, then click on computer name at the PLACES there.. 2) besides the Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Library, Movies.... I created 2 FOLDERS... one is WORK(i copy all my stuff from my D drive in PC to here) and one is ENTERTAINMENT folder (where i copy everything from my E drive in PC).. is my way of organising correct? or is there any better way? hope to hear from u guys.. |
