Hi all, just doing some research on what bluetooth wireless mouse to get, while waiting for my mbp to arrive. I want one which doesnt requires USB port, any recommendation? Price range preferable similar to wireless mighty mouse. Or should I get the wireless mighty mouse?

QUOTE(shoguniphicus @ Oct 28 2007, 02:25 AM) You may want to check out if the projector has profiles that can be used. or calibrate it in prefpane? hmm the problem is i cant adjust from the projector is on the ceiling, i can only adjust from my mbp.....I guess the colour profile that causes it to be yellowish could be the colour profile use by LED screen.

QUOTE(civic98 @ Apr 29 2008, 01:48 AM) I was going to sell off my bluetooth stereo headset, had it since last year only used it with my PDA cause OSX didn't support A2DP. Then I thought before selling it might wanna look for A2DP support in Leopard, as it was rumoured so when it was launched. And I did the search just now and realized it is supported in Leopard! (Yea I know, I'm months late, I just didn't search for it & didn't try it since I gave up looking last year when I was still on Tiger) Well perhaps it's just me who didn't realize this, but glad I found out. Guess will not be selling my headset. Too bad I don't have the headset with me now, would love to try it. Anyone tried? How's the sound quality? yup tried it few months ago, the sounds quality is acceptable, considering that it is bluetooth This post has been edited by psyeo: Apr 29 2008, 12:39 PM

QUOTE(sameday @ May 27 2008, 06:06 PM) am referring to using parallels to load up bootcamp's windows and always assign to the same IP.. just like our normal xp, when we booted up, it is all as it is.. As you know lar, when you ask those people in mac store.. they are normally just sales people who know what to demo.. a bit more in depth.. they can only umm.. ahh.. can... can...should not be problem... that make you worry whether it is worth the investment. yup, you can fix the IP to ur mac, then ur virtual OS (e.g. bootcamp access using VMWare Fusion/Parallel) can share the same internet connection with ur mac using NAT This post has been edited by psyeo: May 27 2008, 02:23 PM

QUOTE(chizzu @ Jun 11 2008, 07:06 PM) I was about to do the same thing. but it is a complicated process.... If you want someone to do it for you it is going to cost a lot. MBP is not like MB where HDD replacement is as simple as 1 2 3  (ok not that simple but it is easy to follow) 1) i am planning to upgrade to 320gb as this is the max size of 2.5" HDD available in the market here. 2) I am not sure as i plan to do it myself. maybe you can ask the aple stores. 3) a 320gb HDD would probably cost around RM400 while the service of changing it may vary 4) use time machine for your mac. can just restore to your current machine by popping up leopard disk and restore from time machine. For your vista, if it is bootcamp i think you might need to find some software for mac that backs up your bootcamp partition. Or just install it again when you restore your mac  I use winclone to backup my vista partition

QUOTE(November11 @ Jun 14 2008, 08:06 PM) well, not sure which version. but he said have to wait for response after every clicking of button when using Word. I'm totally new to Mac, so a bit worried if i can get into same problem cause i will need to use Office for mac too. what's your advice? hmm that's something new....I did not face that slow response problem on mac office 2008, however there is still some bug and yes i think office 2007 on pc feels better. So sometimes I'll run office 2007 on a virtual xp window via VMware fusion (especially for ms access, ms publisher and etc.) Get Mac, haha it is great to be able to run on multiple OS (virtually or via bootcamp This post has been edited by psyeo: Jun 14 2008, 05:27 PM

QUOTE(chizzu @ Jun 24 2008, 03:54 PM) I have a question regarding battery life. Recently i have changed my HDD to 320gb and installed a fresh copy of OS X. However, when i use coconutbattery and istat pro i only ger 37% of battery health and apparently it was only around 90% last week. Here are my stats: this is very worrying as the batt health drop drastically since last week. I dont think changing my HDD will affect this... I have similar problem after changing the hard disk as well. what i did is i calibrate the battery + SMC Reset1st I calibrate the battery fully (I plug in the USB cooler + a portable hdd to help drain out the battery faster, and I believe a large part of the battery is assigned to the reserve battery part as it took forever to drain the battery in stanby mode) then I did the SMC reset before charging the drained battery again. result: battery health went back to about 75-80% This post has been edited by psyeo: Jun 24 2008, 05:06 PM
