QUOTE(victorchew @ Oct 9 2010, 06:29 PM) Wanna ask..how should transfer all the software and files from old mac to new mac? Just backup with Time Machine from the old mac and plug into the new mac there? Thanks when u boot up the new mac later, u'll arrive at a screen where it asks if u want to restore from a time machine backup so at this point, juz connect the time machine drive, select it, n proceed  it'll copy ur stuff from TM to ur new mac. obviously this takes a really long time lah, depends on how much data u have in ur TM drive

QUOTE(Jarod @ Feb 17 2011, 08:27 AM) I just got my iMac. Was playing with it the whole night when I noticed the back of the iMac was burning hot. Is that normal or should I put a fan to cool it? I downloaded the temperature monitor and average temperature for all components are around 60C it's good if it's hot. meaning it's doing its job: dissipating heat

QUOTE(allanshah @ Aug 18 2011, 02:16 AM) How to connect to other monitor? Sorry for the noob question. If logic board problem, normally how much it will cost? I heard it's really expensive. Sigh... buying the adapter would be quite expensive. maybe u can try ask around for anyone who has it (doesnt have to be apple branded). i can let u borrow mine but im in miri lol. also we still dunno if it's ur logic board problem or just LCD problem. best case, maybe just the LCD connector loose/dirty. u can go to ifixit.com and look up how to reconnect it. if u can use an external monitor, meaning it's just ur LCD problem and repairing shud be less than 1k. but TBH im leaning towards faulty LCD lah, cuz if faulty logic board normally dont even have the boot chime.

QUOTE(Joe2011 @ Oct 27 2011, 03:35 PM) Hi guys, my macbook aluminium late 2008 battery has swollen. I read from the other countries apple forum, they said they can get a free replacement. How can I get it in Malaysia? Has anybody done it yet? i just got mine replaced in september. as far as i know, ur battery health needs to be under 80% within a certain number of cycles... mine (mbp 15" unibody 2008) was 500 cycles, not sure what it is for your macbook. also, i have ACPP nonetheless just give applecare a call and see what can they do for you. you will need to leave ur macbook with one of the service centres, possibly for a few weeks.
