Mine is late 2009 mbp 13" ... so i guess it should be mini DP. My question is are there any alternatives besides using this adapter to connect to projector ?

oh mbp 13" shud be miniDisplayPort. im not aware of any other alternatives thinking of getting one myself too, but rm99 aiyo...

hi anyone know if my current macbook alu can upgrade the battery to the new 10hours mbp battery?

to jasperng:

go buy liao.... think so much for what.. LOL

No, they are different physically. It won't fit. Let alone your is MacBook vs MacBook Pro.

They get 10hr is not just because of battery, but combination of more energy efficient components and chips. So even if u can put it in, you still more or less get back what u having.

hi all.. i m a new MBP user for 2 days..

i hv a problem when my mounted network drive was inactive and cause my Finder to hang and follow by unable to restart Mac except pressing Opt + Command + Power to reset..

1) My Mac connected to a few PC in a network..
2) when i access to certain network (Let us call it Beng PC as the computer name) to get some files.. there will be an "eject" button beside the Beng PC (inside Finder)
3) after a while.. i go to do some other work and i suspect the PC (Beng PC) that my Mac connected might be restarting/went to sleep or smth happened and the link between Beng PC and my Mac interrupted.
4) when i click my mounted drive (Beng PC).. it shows Connecting... and it is like forever..
5) then i press connect as also nth happen.. i can open the command + K and type in SMB Beng PC.. but still same.. connecting forever..
6) then i press the eject button beside Beng PC.. still nothing happen..
7) i tried to relaunch my Finder by pressing Option + right click the finder in Dock..
8) after that.. i get the error name "The application Finder.app can't be opened - 10180" and i cant start my finder..
9) I tried to restart the Mac tru the apple logo there..
10) the mac hang and will not restart until i press Option + Command + Power to reset

anyone know why?

i went to switch and ask.. they said i hv to restart the Mac.. it is known issue and since i m not buying from them.. i dont bother to ask more.. but if it is a known issue, is there anyway to avoid it?

so sad my first Mac for 2nd day only i face this problem..

Hi me12,

I am still using Leopard OS X here.. Sometimes i do get the problem like yours Number 4.

My home PC sometimes is quite hard to connect with Mac or another way around.

That's another reason we dislike Windows. In Mac, if some other station still connected to it over network, OSX will warn you whenever you try to sleep/restart/shutdown. Even if you force it to shutdown the other side will only get a warning. Crash might happen if there're process running involving the disconnected server. If the server back in time, the finder will recover. Often the impatient user will force quitting processes and further complicate the matters, before even the server recover.

If you don't want to reconfigure your windows station. You can try to setup your Mac as a FTP server and connect to it from Windows. Look inside System Preferences > Sharing to enable it.

Does anyone here send your mac for cleaning, i mean like clean the dust in your mac? How much does it cost?

I can only get bout 7 hours battery life for my new 13" mbp. Any help on this?

@more2teayap: which model is the Mac you want to clean?

@sumtuckieeeee:
which model is your MBP? 2009 or 2010?
Try calibrating the battery?:
it's highly subjective as on what you doing and how you operate the MBP.

2010 but still dont know why its so low

What are doing on the MBP?
Screen brightness? Bluetooth on? Airport on? Keyboard backlit? Any pheripherals attached?

Macbook Unibody 5,1... How much will it cost?

screen brghtnessabout 7 bars. bluetooth off. airport on.keyboard backlit off. pendrive attached to it. nothing much.just surf around,watch some videos n listen to songs

Are you watching Youtube or playing some facebook game by any chance?

nope

I suggest you call up applecare: 1-800 803-638 on next working day.

try lowering ur brightness even more and take out the pendrive. if u watch movie/video definately it will drain ur battery faster.

I own myself an alu mbp, bought last year..do you guys think that i could upgrade the processor of my mac into the new icore?
