there are no heat issues with the mbps. The test that was done had problems with the fans still operate at 2000rpm where the temps reach ard 100 deg C

btw if you really have problems with flash, then swith to windows 7. mbp run windows 7 better than osx.

Apps and contacts the easiest to sync. Not sure about photos and I had experienced in songs where it wiped my iphones clean. No song. End up just transfer it across from backup hard disk to my mac itunes.
Should be ok for photos though if you have it all still in your iphone. It will just opened up the iPhoto automatically and ask if you want to copy it to your new mac

oo.. thx.. so the apps in iphone wil be copied into the new MBP too right?

hey guys i need suggestion isnt worth to upgrade the screen to high res?

i upgraded to high res.. i think the stuff will look smaller.. if u are young.. you will prefer that tongue.gif but then u can always switch to lower res when u hv high res LCD smile.gif

QUOTE(tarvalslain87 @ May 5 2010, 10:30 AM)
If you have the budget by all means go ahead and upgrade... Higher resolution means better viewing pleasure. =)

Umm got one question is that my itunes is blank now without any movies or songs but in my iphone I have all those songs and movies that was previously sync with my desktop... Is it possible to transfer my songs and movies into my MBP's itunes? Or when I sync it, it will delete everything and not transfer it to my MBP?
*
i google before and found a few ways tho.. hope to hear which way u solve ur problem?

QUOTE(jonrwg @ May 5 2010, 10:38 AM)
yea... i got a replacement after shooting them a few times.. LOL..

hey guys i have a problem with my mbp. i left my mbp on today for roughly a few hours with the lit closed. i think it went on sleep mode. didnt on any fans near it cos nobody was at home. when i got back, the fan was in 'high' mode, and the laptop on the left side is really hot. this is the first time that this happened. usually if i were to close the lit of the laptop, even without fan, it wud not go into high fan. just wondering if any sifus know whats wrong with my mbp. anything gone wrong?

urm i do use a wireless mouse, and its kept on most of the time. but ive been using the mouse for awhile now and the problem just occured. think perhaps its like how crazyee said, there is some unclosed programe running. after restarting its been so good so far, hopefully it doesnt happen again.  rclxub.gif

after u close the lid... u try to move the wireless mouse and see? will it reactivate your mac? eventho the lid is closed..?

Can try to deactive all connections to the macbook. If im not mistaken there is a setting there to disable all connections if its in the sleep mode in system preferences right?
*
where to set that? i cant find it in the system preferences..

QUOTE(wiraone @ May 10 2010, 05:57 PM)
I had this problem few times already .. its when we thought that closing the lid will bring the system to hibernate .. what you could do is to look into your syslog and see what causes the system to come alive .. and most probably as other said, it might be some of the USB devices that connected to your MBP causing this.


Added on May 10, 2010, 6:02 pmBTW, do a search on google with "macbook sleep issue" and you could find a lot of postings about this issue .. there are quite a number of option you could try .. but for me, setting it to not awake on opening the lid seems to solve my problem..
*
i faced a problem just now... my Excel 2008's file XLSX crashed suddenly and i got this msg
"Excel cannot open this file. The file might have been damaged or modified from its original format."

after that.. i copy the file from my Mac to PC, and open at PC and a pop-up msg saying that the file needs to repair.. and after that, can open in PC.. and i copy it back to Mac and the file back to normal..

any of u guys faced this before?

you can't use you graphic card in vmware,
Vmware only use emulation to make windows 7 work on it.

oh no.. no wonder the only game i play (fifa 10) wont run sad.gif is there anyway to install graphic card in to vmware? no way?

and is it too late to install windows in bootcamp now? since i didn't install it when the MBP come?

no way. that's why it's called virtualization. ur windows is running on a 'fake' computer, it doesnt have a clue what hardware do you have.

u can bootcamp anytime u want. the bootcamp assistant will help u to resize the partition, wont kacau ur data

oo.. ok thanks! will do more research on bootcamp then..
