How to Print Screen to a file on the desktop in Mac OS X
The basic functionality of taking a screen capture of a window or desktop in Mac OS X takes an image and dumps it to a file on the Mac desktop:
Command+Shift+3: takes a screenshot of the full screen (or screens if multiple monitors), and save it as a file to the desktop
Command+Shift+4: brings up a selection box so you can specify an area to take a screenshot of, then save it as a file to the desktop
Command+Shift+4, then spacebar, then click a window: takes a screenshot of a window only and saves it as a file to the desktop

How to Print Screen to the Clipboard on a Mac
This functions a lot more like Print Screen in the Windows world. If you want to do the equivalent of Print Screen to the clipboard so that you can paste it into another app, these are the commands you’d want to use:
Command+Control+Shift+3: take a screenshot of the entire screen (screens if multiple monitors), and saves it to the clipboard for pasting elsewhere
Command+Control+Shift+4, then select an area: takes a screenshot of selection and saves it to the clipboard for pasting elsewhere
Command+Control+Shift+4, then space, then click a window: takes a screenshot of a window and saves it to the clipboard for pasting

actually, MBP 13 is lighter and thinner than MB. apparently polycarbonate is pretty high in density, but in order to match up MBP in terms of unibody structure integrity and strength, it has to be a lil thicker for that. so that explains the extra weight and overall dimensions. there you go, another reason to choose MBP over MB

MB = 2.13kg
MBP 13 = 2.04kg
MBP 15 = 2.54kg

I found one with both FireWire 800 and USB 2.0 that is around RM400. A regular external 2.5 HDD with USB only costs RM250 nowadays.
They are both 500GB and yes, I'm looking for that amount of capacity

i am thinking of getting an external hd too....any good recommendation guys?
how about the compatibility with time machine? all also can?

hey guys,

Before I really decide to buy a MacBook Pro,as I observed it's using glossy sreen. When I played around with the MacBook Pro at Machines, the colour was vibrant and rich. But then I'm not sure whether it gives the right colour accuracy as people compared that matte screen gives better colour accuracy.

Need advice , thanks.

Hey guys, i have another question.

I'm planning on purchasing an external hard drive soon to use with my mbp. The problem is that i installed windows on my mbp via bootcamp and i am worried that there will be file formatting issues when i try to transfer files from MAC OS -> Hard drive -> Windows OS. (and vice-versa)

I've read articles saying that i should first format the ext HD to FAT32 and both OS should be able to read and write files on the hard drive with no problem. With a downside that FAT32 allows a max single file size of 4GB only. Which means i cant save any file thats bigger than 4GB onto the hard drive.

The articles i've read are really old. (like 2008) and i am wondering if this is still the case today.

On a side note, i would also like to know if this problem(if still existent today) is present in thumbdrives as well, and if so, this would be a major problem for me in terms of sharing files with my coursemates during group assignments. 

Any insight is much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi guys, I've just bought a MBP 15" from Machines in Mid Valley just now. Can I know why my download speeds are sooo slow? Around 0.2 kb/s when i m downloading firefox installer.. but when i browse the internet, its fast.. just the download is slow. I tried using my old VAIO and its downloading at 180kb/s.. what's the problem here? 

Hi,

Please welcome me to the family with MBP 13", just bought it last night at machines klcc. Everything was well except one.

Now, i find the transfer rate from my sandisk usb extreme card reader to the mbp was extremely slow. I checked in the system and it register both the card and the card reader as capable of read/write at 480mbps.

for the time being i'm using iphoto to import and for a 13GB raw photo, it took almost 20 mins to finish importing.

everyone, this cannot be the correct transfer rate! please share your feedback. TQ!

im still a student, how much will be discount?
what u mean "at your own risk", what should i concern if bought from there?

This is result diagnose by c.battery.



Info not quite accurate, age of my mac is just around 10months or less. Im sure nothing is wrong with the adapter where I use the same old adapter out of box.

Thanks for your advise buddy.

When you bought your mac, was the case sealed? Where did you buy it from. Now try downloading a widget called istats. Just type it in google "istats widget". Download it, install it and it shows all the important stats of your mac (It'll be on your dashboard (the F4 button)). See if your CPU is running above average during typical use (5-10%) and also check your battery health from there. According to coconut battery, your battery health is only 79% and frankly not acceptable for the age of your mac. Bring it back to the store, your mac should still be under warranty. Bring your receipt as well and show them the information from coconut battery and istats.
