Bro, 65 is consider as normal temperature la..

thats what im saying lo...why hang arr? ram problem?
mine also mbp13 2010

Guys I need help, today I realized that my iTunes sound had gone weird, the sound is not that clear, vocal kinda blurish, equalizer had turned off but in VLC its ok. any idea on how to solve this problem?

wew~ finish reading from page 1 till now... haha... never been here before, so i want to take this opportunity to greet all mac user. Hi, i hoped that i will learn a lot from ppl in this thread.

I own Macbook pro 13" mid 2009 model ( i think- forgot la)
Based spec for that model with education price from applestore. ( i feel nostalgic how i was really excited waiting for the arrival of mbp that took about 2 weeks. opening the box,etc, i even put some msg on the receipt just for fun XD)
i bought it for RM~4500 ( dun really remember rm4099 for mbp + iwork+remote+DVI adapter)
Always love my makie for what it is. huhuhu.. sleek, no hassle, long battery life, etc.
what i regret the most, i did not buy any case for makie, last time i drop the macsafe pin on the lid, and it got dented. T.T, looking for one, but the price is almost rm200. XD no budget la. so i make myself ignored it. T.T
well i sleep with it beside me. XD everyday (almost). one more thing i love apple. i never SHUTDOWN makie. (or i forget when i shut it down) just restart for install and etc, i got few freeze, but not more then 10. (sometime i amazed how apple do this, i mean a laptop that would last so long without shutdown- try other brand you will see) some times i left it ON almost 1 month. rely onli on its autosleep feature. even traveling i keep it on sleep,( close the lid only) i only formated once, because i upgrade to snow leo. just because i think its shud folow windows style.XD format is always and option to resolved slowness. but i realize, mac don't. LOL
Love the battery, past one year and still got 84% health (quite good for a laptop that always ON) and reach 5 hours still.
I dont install a lot of software, this is my list of software.

Parallel ( you now. quick access to bootcamp windows)
crossover ( i want to use IDM in native mode-save battery)
iLife09
Iwork09 ( never use, T.T damn i really wanna try use the keynote, but all lost if i convert to ppt. )
office09 ( this office sometimes not so compatible with some software- mathtype)
office 11 ( new, just love it, need sometime to familiarize)
ialertU ( fun to try if you have remote)
Skype ( i think the best IM for mac YM dont work properly in mac)
Sofacontrol ( love to play with the remote)
Squential ( for manga reading)
Stuf-it ( you know what it does)
Teamviewer ( RD software that works even behind firewall or router)
etc software like Acrobat, Bento, and others

games
World of Goo ( fun to play at work if got bored)
Plant vs Zombies ( same )
I seldom play games with my mac as my PC is better spec and more comfortable ( i try playing Modern warfare 2 on High setting on makie. work with not much lag, after 15 minute, lag like hell and with artifacts. worried i'll fried the GFX so dun play on my makie, i do play DOTA some times. no problem.

Overall verdict
I love my makie and i hope you do to. XD
fyi. i gave names to all my computers. XD so makie-chan is for my mbp

ok, after i read from the start some of the new user does not know much about battery, i think one post in apple forum very good.
do check it HERE

and some on the storage thing
I prefer NTFS over FAT32 as i work most on file above 4GB. i use NTFS-3g but it was slow. so comes Parallel the savior. XD. just load the HDD into parallel and work like normal. XD there is more simple way. to this.. and i just use it. TUXERA it is NTFS driver which works better and faster then NTFS-3g. it is a paid software i dont encourage pirate. but do's the google magic trick maybe you get yourself lucky. XD.

I use perian and some codec i found on the net, but still using Quicktime is very slow la.. sometime not work or problemmatic, any software to suggest? i use VLC before, but it sucks crash all the time mostly on mkv. so i dump it. any recomendation. wanna watch blu-ray on my makie.

Because i love macs. so i have been recomending to my family and manage to get my father and sister POISONED.
They both buy the 2010 model, my sister got no problem with her MBP but for my farther, there is problem. he use the customs build 13" with 500GB HDD max 13" spec.

here are what i have post on the apple forum


you can follow it Here

sory for the lenghty post. just want to return what i have read from page 1 till now.. XD worth you know... hahaha

U guys aware of the Back to Mac event which will be held on Oct 20th next week? Looks like i have to hold back my macbook pro purchase until the announcement :S

@imrozx
u read from page 1 till the end?
btw u can easily get a branded casing for around rm100++ here

yup.. took me 2 day to finish it... LOL.. some i do skip..

just notice that. i already bought for my sister. XD,
actualy got my eye on Carbon fiber thing.. hehehe.. anyone wanna sold cheap2..

imrozx, thats very good of u to read from page 1 haha. ur post is long so im not gonna quote it here

1st of all, congrats on ur MBP! none of us here regret getting one so im sure u wont haha. also, thanks for the link about the battery, seems very useful

about ur dad's MBP, best is to just bring it to an authorized service centre, take advantage of ur warranty coverage. i hv no idea what's the cause of the problem though

Sapura.. only Sapura i think.. they used to have shop at MMU before but now closed already.
But my friend said they still selling at student price for student.. don't know which officce/outlet got

u can try google the carbon fiber case on youtube, i remember seeing a review on it and it says that it does not shut your mbp's lid completely...not sure about that myself as i'm using a spec satin

Should be RAM problem. Have your hard disk space less than 20% ? If you hard disk full also had factor to hang.

Added on October 14, 2010, 12:17 pmI think so if 2GB should don't have any problem but need run many application so 2GB is not enough.

Have u got battery swollen problem ?.

orochi? very nice indeed. previously i was using proclick 1.6, to my surprise the orochi feels exactly the same, except for the shorter length, n just slighttttly narrower. i instantly got used to it. the height is perfect (for me), n i like the texture. i was never a fan of wireless mouse bcuz i dun want to bother with batteries. but since this is a hybrid, i only use it in wireless mode when im not at home. havent changed battery since i bought it. my only qualm is the side buttons are too small n feel very plasticky

comparing with the magic mouse, it's too low for me, not comfortable. 2nd is the location of the sensor. in most mice, the sensor is right in the middle, where in the magic mouse it's more to the front. this makes the MM navigation different bcuz of the extra length between the sensor and ur wrist. of course, this is just my personal opinion

appreciate it bro
i also feel the same for the magic mouse though...abit too low and my wrist hurts after using for sometime. the speed is also one problem, quite slow eh
i think i'll invest in a orochi soon
thanks bro

i think so.. i call the call center also ask me to bring to Machines at KLCC... well its a long way from Kota Bharu. need to plan first.

hmm.. i have some question, anyone here manage to find software for bahasa Malaysia proffing tool on mac. its like Dewan eja or somtin.
been searching, but none found. google also cannot handle.. XD

Hello guys, I have a question regarding on MacBook Pro warranty. Is it equipped with international warranty?

I plan to buy it at M'sia and take it with me to Germany for my study purpose.

Sorry for the noob Q as I never bought an Apple notebook before.

yup. international warranty.

How many years of warranty in stock? Do you guys think that it is necessary to extend the warranty and how?

1year
buy applecare protection plan.
