Went to Machines Lot 10 to buy the sleeve, end up buying Crumpler backpack as Macbook Sleeve out of stock.

I think that will be a better buy than the sleeves which I think will not very practical.

Uh. It seems that after calibrating, my battery decreased!
I let the MacBook to power off by itself. Correct or not?
*
Yes, you need to let the Macbook powered off by itself (while using the Macbook) and let another 5 hours before you switch on again.

I also discovered something weird, when I use the Graphics Option: Higher Performance, my MBP is not charging fully 100%...but only stayed at 95%....

It is being mention in apple support page that once reach 100%, it wont charge again (to avoid over charge).
It will start charging again once it goes below 95%.. so it is not a problem. thumbup.gif

Weird, I switch on and off the power supply and its back charging till 100% (unlike the one previously)... rolleyes.gif

Hmm. Is there a way to set my default programs? Like setting .avi files to open using vlc player and so on.

Click the .avi file and "get info"... change the "open with" application with the one that you prefer..

Yes, I have the same problem when I tried to install a certain "Fix/patched" software.
At first, I thought its a hardware problem, but when I use my DVD to boot the Mac, it seems all the functions are working fine.
Tried to reset the PRAM but still unsuccessful.

Since I'm using a Time Machine, I restored to the last backup (which works).
It wasted the whole night to restore the Mac but *phew* I managed to get my Mac working back.... thumbup.gif

i just "Install And Archieve" this morning, its took abt 30 mins to complete, so far everything seems OK. In summary, pls dun apply that particular "Fix/patched". Using external USB hub will be better.  laugh.gif

Are you using TC or have a complete backup on a normal HDD?
