To reinstall Mac OS X:
Step 1

Insert the Mac OS X Install Disc and double-click the Install Mac OS X icon.
Step 2

Follow the onscreen instructions. In the pane where you select the destination disk, select your current Mac OS X disk (in most cases, it will be the only one available).
Step 3

Click Options. If you want to save your existing files, users, and network settings, select “Archive and Install,” and then select “Preserve Users and Network Settings.” If you want to erase everything on your computer and reinstall Mac OS X, select “Erase and Install.” You can’t recover erased data.
Step 4

Click Continue.
Step 5

Click Customize to select which parts of Mac OS X you’d like to install, or click Install to perform a basic installation (recommended).

wao, urs might a bit over usage d, i think u mus be used up a lot of ur battery. plug in even those the battery is not fully charge or empty

i always shutdown if no use..+always keep the charger connected but.. when i check my first battery cycle was 5750.. why ur cycle 6500?

Because 6500 for Macbook Pro 15" and 5750 for Macbook Pro 13".

Hope this help. Thanks.

thx u for the information... but can i know how to reduce the intake of cycle? any tips.. as i check the battery price for mbp.. pheww

reduce cycle? reduce battery usage of course. but using battery too little also got problem. dont think that u wanna keep ur battery in good shape then u scared u dun wanna use it. battery is a consumable part, it's meant to be replaced one day later. imagine buying a printer....the stock ink will run out eventually, n it's stupid to not use the printer because u dun wan to replace the ink

juz remember to calibrate. u dun have to use the battery a lot but atleast have the electrons moving once in a while. juz like human....too much heavy duty work everyday can die early... being a couch potato whole day also can die early let the battery work once in a while

Ya , its just for torrent only. Btw , what is a download manager?

may i know how to calibrate the battery? sorry still newbie at mac

@farhannordin
Using the newbie tag does not grant you to be spoonfed.

(Spoonfeeding mode)
Here's the GUIDE

Discharge the battery, until 0%, and then charge it again. That's how you calibrate the Mac Book's battery.

since u guys tok about download manager.. i feel Download Them All in firefox is very useful.. it can download files from those site like megaupload/rapidshare and etc.. i tried other download manager like Speed Download, cannot do like what DTA can..

but i prefer to use Google Chrome, is there any alternative that can replace DTA at Firefox?

What features on DTA that you can't leave without Firefox...? I'm sure you can copy the download links and download manually using DTA...

One thing I don't like about DTA is the inability to control download speed, unlike Speed Download which I can control the bandwidth, so that my Screamyx have room for other users in my household...

any idea when the new Macbook (with i3/i5 processor) is coming out ??

Mmmm... It out already....

lol. what is download manager ah... imagine utorrent but for normal download instead of torrents. if u're using firefox, try downthemall

because DTA is a firefox plugin, not a standalone app. closing firefox meaning closing DTA as well. so far it's my favourite but yala, sometimes i quit firefox forgetting that im downloading something haha

setoyo is wrong. macbooks and MBP13 are still using core 2 duo. HW-Racer, no one knows when macbook will adopt i3/i5 since we dunno when the next refresh would be. but i doubt it'll be this year though

Opps sory.. i tought MBP....

Nah... it's not that bad once you get used to it... I'm using Safari with DTA, problem is just manual assignment of downloads to DTA.., most of the time I assign heavy downloads via DTA on my desktop PC, I don't need to strain my MBP hdd too much...

i've been using it or about 2yrs still havent got used to it haha. DTA doesnt support safari 5 doesnt it?
