I once spoke to a chap I know who was in huge debt and asked how he slept a night. He said if you owe a Bank �100 you're screwed, they won't try to help you, but if you owe them �100,000 they're screwed and will bend over backward to help.Been there. I was never treated so well as when I owed �1.5 million.

My Macbook (black) 2.4 GHz (early 2008) running 10.6.7. freezes after 3-4 min. on wakeup from sleep mode.
This problem started about two weeks ago. After been woken from sleep mode I have about 3-4 min. of use before the computer freezes, so there's no respond from neither the track pad nor the keyboard (not even caps lock turns on the light when pressed), the screen is kept on, but nothing but the power button in the corner works.
I don't even get the spinning rainbow wheel or anything - just freezing :(
What to do?!! :mad:

Hi all
Not sure of this is the correct place or not to post this request.
We have several apple tvs, airports and an ipad (hacked to appear as airplay receiver) scattered across our house, all connected to amp and speakers or tv etc, Is there an piece of software for mac or windows that will allow the audio from the host OS to be sent to one or more of these airplay enabled ios devices? It works good from itunes albeit to one output at a time, but we have other subscriptions from napster and a huge media center library of music on our server which would be nice to be able to route to any of these enabled devices.
not worried about streaming video just audio
Any help appreciated

After the fiasco with the iPhone 4, they should be testing new or altered designs. Put them in the field now so a simple "antennagate" problem happens again.
The iProd is the iPad, which isn't surprising. But the unknown device could be Apple TV or an iPod Touch. Hopefully soon we will find out.

That's not true. LG have a relatively new LED backlit IPS monitor series, I believe they do a 20, 22 and 23 inch.
I stand corrected. Wasn't aware of any other IPS LED panels.

That's an awfully good price. Is he taking trades? I've got a Seagate 200GB Internal IDE HD, a Nike Sport FM Radio, Apple Earbuds, and some other stuff. Tell him to contact me if interested. :)

Awesome.
I ordered mine 12 min after the store came back but still hasn't shipped. Driving me nuts.

right, and we all have 20Meg /s net connections with unlimited bandwidth...
pfft
They should offer the option of the HD download, just like for their movie trailers. If you have the bandwidth, download the HD. If you don't, download the SD. I won't be buying til at least DVD quality (unless maybe if I upgrade my ipod between now and then, I'm still using a 3G).

I have a desk from Ikea - lustrous white, suits it well. Can't remember it's name, though...!
For me, the 27" display is a work of Apple genius. The first time one sees it, one almost inevitably thinks, 'Christ! That's huge...!!!'. But when you've been using it for a few days, you're sold. Hook, line, and sinker.
Thanks for the desk info...I'll check it out.
I don't know about where you are in the World...
LOL...look at my location under my user name :D
Same 14 day policy here as well.

Just hang in there, Apple will eventually update their PB's. Maybe keep checking the refurb section of the apple store for cheaper models? I've heard good things about Apple's refurbs.

My original core duo macbook pro just died after 5+ years of daily use. The graphics card died (non-nvidia, so not covered). It would have been $900 or so to replace the logic board in the apple store, but they also have a flat rate repair that's $300 or so that will cover shipping to their repair facility in TX, and then cover labor and absolutely any parts that need replacing. I hadn't realized this was an option -- it's like paying $300 or so to have your laptop covered like it was under applecare again.
I love the 2011 mbp I'm typing on right now, and I'm sure you will love yours too, but if I could pay $300 and have a 2008 mbp working again? I'd do it. In the end I even paid the flat rate to have my original mbp repaired. For $300 I've definitely got uses for it, and it has sentimental value (I wrote my dissertation on it). I would presume that you could pay the $300 to have it fixed and then sell it for much more than that if you just wanted to help finance your new machine.
Potentially worth looking into. I'm surprised it's not more publicized as a service.
I think it's $310 and they only allow it if your machine still looks in good shape. So as long as you take care of your laptop it's fine. At least that's how the guy at the genius bar explained it to me.
I really lucked out with the genius I got. He actually replaced my logic board for free cause of my 9400m flicker issue from the late 08 MBP. On top of that they discovered that my Superdrive went bad so they just swapped that out for me too! :)

Try dragging to the trash can.
I had an app fail install and already dropped it in the Applications folder and Launchpad. Clicked on it in launchpad and got a ? mark in the middle of the icon, tried to delete it any way I could and found dragging it to the trash can works.

well found out why backup power didn't come on.
for some odd reason the power and natural gas lines got cut, backup is by natural gas
That's a real bummer. Someone made a huge mistake. Not the first or last the a contractor was in error. This kind of thing seems to happen a lot in Massachusetts. It's lucky that a fire was averted. Any idea how long the fix will take?

If you have wimpy fingers, no case will help.
Apple case helps with original iPad due to the extra grip. I can hold the iPad with 1 hand comfortably.
I don't use iPad 2 with a case although I might get something that protects the back.

When in Safari (5.0.5), the browser automatically shows as Internet Explorer 4.0 (while using the Develop: User Agent: Default (Automatically Chosen))
When I got to Develop: User Agent: Safari 5.0.5 Mac then it shows that I am using Netscape 6.0!
Why is the User Agent different than the one I've chosen? I have a online Banking site that checks the browser and doesn't support the old Netscape and Internet Explorer browsers. So I end up just choosing different ones until the website finally loads properly.
How can I get it to show as Safari 5.0.5 Mac all the time?

Those games were awesome. :)
Best of all Camelot are supposedly working on either an unnamed Wii or DS (forgot which) RPG. Music was perfect, game design was simple but had hidden depth with them Djinn things. My stomach went all tingly when you go to Knox and see the physical "end of the world".

I was experiencing the same problems as others after installing DP3.
That is, installation seemed ok, UNTIL it got to to "moving items into place" after which it hung.
I forced a restart, and ended up with the grey screen and spinning gear.
I followed insomniac321123's suggestion:
- rebooted to Snow Leopard
- opened the root Library folder
- opened the Updates folder and located the "lionswupdate.pkg"
Note: it was located in a folder named "041-0870"
The pathway is (root)/Library/Updates/041-0870/lionswupdate.pkg
- double-clicked that, re-ran the installer app.
- this time, when it got to the "moving items into place" segment, the task finished (in relatively short time) and I received "the installation was successful".
After this, I was able to restart and get a "good boot" to 10.7 build 11A444d.
Other observations:
When I _shut down_ Lion the first time after the update, it seemed to take extra time, with quite a bit of disk activity. I'm going to _guess_ that the problem may be due to files that normally get written at shutdown to be read at the next boot. These would normally be read and pre-loaded before the finder loaded, but could not be, hence the spinning wheel that prevented the finder from loading.
After I finally got a good boot after running the procedure above, and Lion corrected whatever it needed to correct at shutdown, subsequent shutdowns are "normal" again.
