QUOTE(ff8ong @ Dec 13 2008, 11:57 PM) Wow...now even with extra 2gb ram...super great deal. Please be noted that the 2GB given by Machines..meaning they will take out a stick of 1GB from the Mac. So in total you only get 3GB RAM (2GB + 1GB ..2 slots). |

I called Apple Care again today at 1845 and it was CLOSED again! I called 2 weeks back and they told me the official hours is MY time 9am til 10pm...and I used to call Apple Care at 9pm at night 2 years back and it went through.
I already send an email to Apple Malaysia for clarification. Any one has experience calling Apple Care toll free num? |

QUOTE(Crescendo MY @ Jan 8 2009, 03:48 AM) I just got my MacBook Pro yesterday.. night, had one left and thank-god manage to get it, its the model that comes with 2.53ghz, 4ddr.. Make sure you use the correct user name such as abc@hotmail.com or abc@live.com.my. The only reason you cannot log in I think its due to bad Internet connection. I've been using Adium for my MSN, Yahoo, Google Talk and ICQ...so far no issue.Mac OS X is really new to me, so i'm still figuring it, and learning how to use it.. However i'm having some troubles, but i'm not sure whats wrong with it.. I tried to use Messenger MAC, and it wont even sign me in, if i use safari to enter to hotmail, it wont even log in at all.. I read through some forums, and they told me to use Adium X, when i used it i get stuck at 75% authenticating.. is there any other way to solve this? or must i use web msn  ----- other than that, i really love the slick design, and some other user-friendly options int he os, compared to windows  |

QUOTE(z3171600 @ Feb 19 2009, 02:00 PM) How much does it cost to upgrade Alu MB from 2GB to 4GB in this situations? Option one costs around RM485 if i am not mistaken, that was the price i paid when i ordered my mbp online wth 4GB ram.1. Directly requesting the upgrade when buying. I think this one should cost less than 600 but not sure the exact amount. Anyone know? 2. Upgrade at mac reseller after using it for a while? Or is it still cost the same as #1? Of course I mean the RAM, |

Anyone one with the late 2008 unibody MBP facing this issue:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?m...802767&#start=0 For my late 2008 MBP, when I am using 9600M graphic card, screen capture using GRAB gives me a freeze for about 50 seconds the moment the screen is captured. This applies to screen capture using shortcut keys as well. When I switched to 9400M graphic card, no issue at all. Please share your experience For me it's time for me to ring up Apple Care I shall keep you guys posted as well. |

Noticed that with 10.5.7, 3 fingers swipe works in iTunes app store on my unibody MBP..just like the way it works in Safari! :-)
On 10.5.6, 3 fingers swipe is not supported in iTunes app store. |

QUOTE(bagfatnick @ Jul 10 2009, 05:58 PM) Thx nimrod for the Harddrive recommendation, i've gotten myself a 500GB WD. I was wondering instead of copying the whole original harddrive contents into the new one via CarbonCopy Cloner, is it better if I do a clean install of Leopard and iLife '09 in the new harddrive? My MBP is still new and i have yet to move any files into it. Hey how much you paid for the WD 500GB? Me thinking to upgrade mine to 500GB when Snow Leopard releases where I can do a clean install. |
