Dont use software update to download, just check what is there to update and go to Apple/Support/Downloads and download from there, even better if u use a download manager. This was u have no worries about download being interrupted.
iTunes has the same stupid problem, downloads interrupted has to start over *sigh

Battery update guys:- http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/batteryupdate12.htmlIt takes a while to restart after that, so dont be alarmed. Any experts care to explain what this battery update does specifically? This post has been edited by civic98: Apr 29 2007, 12:19 AM

Furry, why all the trouble, like Vandetta said, just drag it into your sidebar, basically you can drag any folder into the sidebar, and for your info, you can drag any folder into the Dock as well for easy access but it has be be at the Dock column where the Thrash bin is.

So basically Santa Rosa IS the Intel 965 Chipset, so it has the same problem as this: http://asia.cnet.com/reviews/notebooks/0,3...62014114,00.htmThe driver for the better graphics processing is not out yet... Is that it?

Inferno, congrats on your purchase! What you mentioned are just the hardware part, there's so much more sofware "specials" in it!
Funny about your MBP screen & body alignment. Since its just a day or two old, why dont you try your luck with the vendor??

Try changing the SMTP authentication options in Account settings or contact your network administrator. Error: -17092 Hi, I just bought a MBP recently. It has been a while since i last use mac(Ibook, 4 years ago) so can anyone help me out with this? I successfully converted all my emails to entourage. The first two days it was working fine. Then after that, a week now actually, i can NOT send any mail out but i can still receive. I doubt its my setting as my incoming and outgoing stmp is the same. Can anyone help me out on this? pls. thankkss Sometimes SSL (Secure Socket Layer) blocks outgoing emails. Try disabling it in your account settings. My Gmail works fine with SSL, while my Streamyx email requires me to disable SSL. One piece of advice though, from my experience, Entourage is very slow. Apple's Mail is works much better.

Yea, good idea to upgrade your HDD when it's new. Wont need to go through the trouble of reinstalling everything and transferring your files over later.

You will definitely need a proper mouse pad. I had the same problem until I got the mouse pad.

QUOTE(dragna @ Jun 18 2007, 01:32 AM) I'd still prefer PC mouse over the Mighty Mouse. Until you get used to it, Mighty Mouse is really "mighty" !! The accuracy, buttons, the very very useful scroll wheel, and not forgetting the design

Check your System Preferences under "Dashboard & Expose". You can also reassign your shortcuts there.

QUOTE(benQue @ Jun 22 2007, 06:32 PM) i think you left out the price higher price dun always mean better quality like phone calls  Naa... Not really left out, it was never a discussion about the price. Was just usability. Anyway RM189(wired) for the quality and design, it's worth it. Though I cant say the same for the wireless model, RM289 for a mouse is a little to much. Hope i got the prices right  Not really sure cause I got my wired Mighty Mouse free.

QUOTE(MacDaNife @ Jul 18 2007, 09:26 PM) Is there a MacAsia in LYP? AFAIK the only surviving MacAsia store is in 1Utama... Yea you are right, shouldn't it be MacStudio? The only person I look for there is Walter, very helpful guy, all the others there are pretty us*less. One of them wanted to charge me RM100 just to help me swap my hard drive out from my Macbook. I was just asking anyway.
