Sometimes mac have a problem with WPA protocol, same with me when try to sharing the internet connection using WEP using my MBP, windows users cannot connect although the password is correct, using WEP sharing with MAC, ipod, iphone, and my E72 no problem at all, can connect to the internet. You might be need to setup manually the dns server ip for this kind of problem.

Hey guys, I need to install windows on my mac and I already did some research.
I also have a genuine copy of windows 7 pro 64 bit with me.
And when I was about to start the installation, I realized I need some drivers for it to be fully functional
Then I googled again, and now I know the drivers are all located in the OS X Leopard DVD given.
The problem is, I left it so far away even 10 hour drive could not bring me there.

Can somebody help me on this?
Or is anybody kind enough to lend me his/her OS X DVD?
FYI I own the core i5 2.4GHz Macbook Pro.

Thanks in advance!

if u are using it as time machine backup.. firewire is better because of the speed.. but if u want portable.. USB still more common.. i m using WD 1TB to do backup smile.gif

No need to used fw800 for time machine, the backup only take time for the first time backup, after that no more issue regarding of transfer speed. I used USB as a time machine backup and fw800 and fw400 as a movie (HD and Bluray) and mp3 storage.

O-I-C. Thx for the info.

BTW, if I use iWork, is it necessary for me to use MS Office? Cos' still adjusting to using a Mac and loving it every moment of it as I explore more of MBP features. I hope by reading Switch 101 - Migrate to Mac, I will learn more about maximising usage of MBP.
If you are using both (Mek and windows), i'll suggest you to install MS Office.

Hi everyone, just want to ask only.

Is it possible to play 3d bluray movie (ISO) using a mbp 15" 2.4, with the 3D Vision Spec? I try to play a Bluray ISO, using Win7(bootcamp), and it can play (using 3 different software). One more thing, do u guys know what application can be used to play 3d movie for Mac OS X?

Hi yuvanesh, have you tried to connect the modem to windows, I also having the same problem previously when I'm testing a new modem, test it using Snow Leopard, No services, but after switching to Windows, the modem works really well. BTW, what brand of the modem you bought?

is the mbp 3d capable in the first place? i dont think so,its s-ips and not meant for 3d playback

Hi, if you still remember, when there is still no LCD and LED TV, when people still using CRT TV, TV3 has been broadcasting a 3d movie title JAWS (the white shark that eaten people), all you need to have is the 3d spec to view the movie via your CRT TV.

@wengthekit

we are in the same dilemma.

btw, a silly question here, if i buy mpb now it should pre-install with snow leopard, when lion out can we upgrade it? need pay or free?

me also, i'm targeting 17" but not really tempting to get the current specs. RM7k without bluray is a big no for me.
btw, already sold my santa rossa 15" 2 weeks ago. cry.gif
