QUOTE(silverwave @ Jun 26 2016, 06:14 PM) Hello, should we turn on our mac firewall? I noticed that it is off. Just turn it on. You may still need antivirus if you need to load documents from other PCs.and do we need anti virus? some say mac is safe, some say no. Mac is relatively safer compared to Windows. However, it does not imply that macs are virus-free. It can also be infected by Trojans. Frequent browsing high risk websites and installing unknown source softwares do make your Mac more susceptible to viruses. It all depends on how you use it. PS: Forget about those cleaning softwares such as cleanmymac. They don't really work. |

QUOTE(theWeird_Weird @ Jun 30 2016, 05:10 PM) i tried the cleanmymac, it seems like it is working for first round then after that the difference are minimal. There is another tactic.mcm everytime cleaning same file but still there zz If you are trying hard to clear up your space, but you still couldn't figure out what and where are the 'others': go to users and groups to create a new administrator account and remove the old account once you've logged into the new one. You will be surprised you have more spaces.... I believe there are lots of unwanted files hidden in your home folder.... |

QUOTE(takenaga @ Jul 1 2016, 09:32 AM) Nothing dangerous. You are practically changing to another user only. But your own files will be lost. (Backing up your files is the only thing you will need to do)It has been 1 month since I did this. So far my MBP is running fine.... Before doing this I've made sure all my files were already backed up.... |

QUOTE(jumpstat @ Jul 9 2016, 10:33 AM) Help needed, This is the setting of a macbook. When you close the lid, it is automatically switched to sleep mode.I noticed that when rmbp closed lid, any downloading happening at that time will also stop. Where do I set it so as not to stop any downloading tasks? Thanks in advance. Nothing can be done to change this setting. I recommend you to either not to close the lid, or connect your MBP to a monitor when you want to do so (but you have to go to Energy Saver in System Preference and slide computer sleep to never). |

QUOTE(INGfusion @ Jul 24 2016, 11:58 AM) Go for hdd... Way much cheaper.The only 2 things that time capsule is superior than hdd is wireless backup, and as a wifi base station/extender. My experience of backing up wirelessly has been painful. I'd rather plug in hdd and do it manually. |

QUOTE(remix2040 @ Jul 24 2016, 12:07 PM) My data only 80gb lol I stopped the restore. It extended to 300 hours lol my fault to restore to my super old hard disk. End up I cannot extract anything from the Time Machine Backup. My photo library corrupted. This is a genuine problem for time machine. Time capsule has the same issue also. Ended up I gave up backing up my Mac completely. Those essential files, I'll save in my cloud drives.I just bought a new hard disk and I cannot transfer my stuff from the old hard to new hard disk. My photos are a gone case now 😔 PS. I suggest to get Time Capsule if you want long term. However, one thing to bear in mind is that you cannot switch back up devices once you've started backing up to one drive, like how I'm struggling right now. The only way is to buy a new drive and switch it to that drive and wipe the old one |

Even had pictures with most of the racers and singers ![]() Got this 3 years ago, direct shipping from USA (I really missed the time when USD1=RM3.20), Till now I only occupied 2 HDD slots: 4TB each). I still can add on another 3. |

QUOTE(remix2040 @ Jul 24 2016, 04:15 PM) I'm not sure about the price of a NAS now.I bought this Drobo 3 years ago for RM2000+ (inclusive of shipping, approx RM 100 cheaper than local price). It is superb. The only issue is my MBP always lost its connection on the network especially when I put my MBP into sleep mode without disconnect it properly... |

QUOTE(sengkin95 @ Jul 24 2016, 03:37 PM) I gave up backing up my Mac 3 years ago because of the problem of transferring backup data from one external HD to another and I couldn't be bothered to use the Time Capsule. Hence, I've decided to make use of the iCloud facilities to store all my Apple backups and have been doing so ever since iCloud storage is expensive. I hoped Apple could bring down the price this Autumn... |

QUOTE(INGfusion @ Jul 24 2016, 09:45 PM) If you don't mind the price, and if you are not using Streamyx, it is quite an excellent wifi base station.You can access your wifi till second floor (not beyond that). And if you are using Streamyx, you will still need a modem (not very sure about other broadband service provider). This post has been edited by sjr: Jul 24 2016, 10:10 PM |

Did I miss something? Where is the power button?
And how to force switch it off in case of system break down/unresponsive? (I knew it rarely happened, but just in case) |

QUOTE(westlife @ Oct 29 2016, 08:53 PM) time to place ur order for this brand new macbook pro. i think it is the best you can buy as of now. I've just bought my iPhone 7. I'm broke again!Unfortunately I have to get a new phone as my old one has just become unusable (screen kept flickering and touchscreen was completely unresponsive) I'll wait for the tear down released by ifixit before deciding to make my existing MBP as desktop station (and get a new MBP) or to get a Mac mini. I estimate it will be months later. |

QUOTE(westlife @ Oct 29 2016, 09:34 PM) ic. last month when iphone 7 launches, i am actually looking forward to change my iPhone 6+ to 7+ since it was already 2 years and my line is ready for re-contract. However, i did not manage to get the first batch of iPhone and all the telcos still lack of stock for jet black even now. So kind of loss interest in iphone 7+. Jet black is ugly, especially when you had your fingerprints on it. It looks plastic as how iPhone used to be during 3GS. Matte black is just nice.Instead, I am more excited about this new macbook pro. mac mini has no update, i dun think u gonna get the current gen which is more than 2 years old rite? no rumours on the mac mini so I guess unlikely it will be updated any time soon. I'm not interested in Mac Mini of 2014 version but 2012 version as it has upgradable ram slot. Besides, it is the 1st Mac mini which can support continuity and Handoff. |

QUOTE(westlife @ Oct 29 2016, 10:12 PM) I use case, technically no matter what color it makes no difference I do agree Mac mini 2012 is difficult to get, but what to do?Buying jet black the simple reason is it is new color, and limited new color. if u look thru the engineering process, it involves more steps to product this finish. So in terms of value, this color will pose better value than other colors. From the stock level availability can tell this too. Mini 2012 is good, but now can only get from 2nd hand. Not easy also difficult to tell the condition of it. The 2014 version is not upgradable. |
