QUOTE(SilentE @ May 20 2010, 03:22 PM) Hey guys, I own an almost 5 month old Macbook , and it recently had issues. When I inserted a blank disk , or any CD(even original song CDs), it auto-ejects the CD. I don't know how and why this happened, because it just suddenly happen. I plan to bring it to an Apple Store, but since school holidays are coming(yes I'm a school student), and I need it for work, I don't think I would. Maybe it could take weeks to repair. So, any pros here, give me some advice. Any help would be much appreciated  Your Superdrive is probably dead. You can borrow an external CD drive for the time being, but remember to get your Macbook repaired as soon as possible. PS: I'm assuming you don't have any external devices attached when this happens? |

QUOTE(g r a p e k e y @ Jun 29 2010, 10:17 PM) Hi people! thanks for looking into this matter. I'm a lil new to iMac here. My company's iMac often encounter crash files whenever I'm using AI, PS, ID, AE, DW, FL, PR, even when I'm using the famous safari. Am not sure if this is coming from the softwares as all the softwares are original and thus, the installation was fine and everything else was crystal not until 2 months after starting from beginning of this month. Another thing is, the magic mouse consumes battery a lot. More or less estimating 1 month 4 batteries gone. lol .. Anyone encounter situations like this too? come share your experience. Thanks.. =) First step: Disk Utility > Select Hard Disk > Repair Disk Permissions I have no idea what those acronyms are, so I'm guessing... Adobe CS4? Can you describe what were you doing before it crashed? What are the programs running in the background? Was Safari trying to open a Flash file? Are all your browser plugins up to date? |

QUOTE(ammaryusoff @ Jul 18 2010, 01:22 AM) hello everyone, i have a problem with my 13" alum Macbook. Recently it just refuses to shut down. When i attempt to shut it down, it just quits all running apps but wont switch off. It just shows my desktop background and the mouse cursor. The only way to shut it down is to hold the power button a few secs until it shuts down which to me is very unhealthy to my beloved lappie. HELP!! The lazy - yet valid - answer would be to close the lid and put it to Sleep mode instead of shutting down. Boot up time is greatly reduced, battery drain is minimal and it doesn't affect your Macbook anyway negatively. |

QUOTE(lexcorp @ Oct 8 2010, 11:58 PM) does any1 experience sometimes theres a 'funk' or alert sound? It could be a) the sound generated by somebody walking into a street sign or wall as they stare at the beauty of the Apple Logo b) you being rough with machine as you put it down on some creep's head or other extremity c) some Windows fanboy trying to assassinate you with a crossbow d) none of the the above; in which case nobody would know exactly what you're talking about if all you're providing is a pointless one-liner |
