I just bought a macbook! Yah, but I've already hit a snag... a notebook is only good if it contains my music library! so seeing as I have everything on my PC and I already have the network folders set up... I tried ot copy my music (3.71GB) onto my mac, but my mac can only see 945MB of it and that's all it will copy. it can see and copy my video's folder(195GB). but only a fraction of the music!
View 6 RepliesI'm looking forward to getting that $30 copy of win 7 pro onto my MBP via bootcamp in the near future, and just wanted to see if anyone has done this already and have any tips/tricks/troubles to share

View 6 Replies View Relatedhow to organize files in folders by date modified by when i modified it. I know that you can right click and use "arrange by date modified" but that sometimes arranges the files when they were modified online and not by me. I know on windows when i use Arrange by last modified it arranges it according to the date when i last downloaded it or opened it, not by when it was modified online. I would like to be arrange by date last opened or used by me.

Tip: Using The New Automatic Import Folder In iTunes 9
10:26 am, September 10th, 2009, Giles Turnbull
iTunes 9 has neat little new feature: it will automatically import any music or videos you throw into a specific folder.
That folder is called “Automatically Add to iTunes”, and after installing iTunes 9 you’ll find it tucked away inside your “~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/” folder.
Anything you drag into it will be imported into iTunes immediately – and it’s worth noting that the original file (the one you put into the Automatic folder) promptly disappears afterwards. It doesn’t get trashed, but moved to the appropriate place inside the iTunes Music folder.
Pls explain me this error code.
STOP: 0X0000004E (0X0000008D, 0X0005837F, 0X05560001, 0XC04CBBD8)
And i was trying to figure out the BSOD crash report in minidump or memorydump folder, but there is none.
I've got a couple of accounts set up in Mail, and I'm anal about keeping a clean inbox. Is there any plugin of which I'm unaware that can automatically move messages in either server's inbox into an archive folder of my choosing, depending on the account?
View 5 Replies View RelatedJust a heads up. The New OSX has removed the ability to Archive & Install and the Erase and Install option.
Also included in the optional Installs is QuickTime 7 and Rosetta. Also:
- OSX has also added a Software "incompatibility check" during the general Installation of OSX 10.6. Within the installer there is an List with Software Exclusions. With this list any known third party applications will automatically get disabled during the start up.
- The Exclusions lists also Applies to Migration assistant.
Why would anyone get excited for snow leopard when the "speed" and "space" can be had with snow leopard. In some reviews I found the space freed up is almost equal to that of snow leopard.
View 5 Replies View Relatedthis is my first foray into 4GB in OS X. Just to appease my TypeA twists, could someone please comment for me?
Upgraded my uMB to 4GB last night and System Memory in OS X Activity Monitor (Utilities folder) shows 3.75GB available. I'm not freaked out about this, just wanting to check my curiosity.
Now the About This Mac pop-up window shows 4GB installed so I'm thinking the difference may have to do with OS memory addresses and such which is why you end up with memory recognition in 32bit windows systems, but I'm hoping for confirmation from others that I'm not missing something. The other possibility I considered for the difference is just simply the 1024bit vs 1000bit thing that you end up with in HDD sizing (and that would actually match nicely with the conversion @ ~3.73GB ).
Here's a short list of reviews that hit the web today!

I just woke up macbook from sleep and the external screen appeared to be some kinds of TV snow screen, you know, those from the TV screen when there is no signal It was fun to watch, but concerned me a bit. The macbook screen was fine since 'snow' only appeared on the external screen. The external monitor was returned normal after I switch it off then turned it on again. It is a Samsung 2233BW monitor, and I connect it to macbook and set it as the lower part of the whole display. What could cause this problem? The mac or the external monitor itself?
View 7 Replies View RelatedMy upgrade to Snow leopard from Leopard went without incident, and everything works great except for Quicktime.
If I want to watch a WMV file, I get an error message indicating that Quicktime must be installed first to proceed.
The question is this. Can I install Quicktime alone from the Upgrade disk?
I tried the newest version downloaded from Apple's website, however it gives an error upon installation that indicates that the version is incompatible with Snow Leopard. I guess Apple has not updated their download website.
I was just at my MAC class & the guy tells me that Snow Leopard is much faster & i should think about up-grading & that it only cost $30.00, But he also said its not for everybody.
Depends on what you do with your LapTop?
I received my snow leopard today. it was made in singapore and had a chinese leaflet and the box had chinese letters on it. is it a genuine one? The dvd however had the usual english writings...also what type of setup do you advise me to do? a clean install?or just and upgrade. i also have w7, so i guess i will have to do a clean install to be a ble to get advantage of the bootcamp 3.0 with it being most stable. A picture of the box is posted below.

I've been reading up and thinking about purchasing the upgrade for my OS I am currently running OS X 10.5.8 so I am here to ask those who have upgraded to Snow Leopard, is it worth it? What I am getting different with this upgrade?
View 10 Replies View RelatedDouble-clicking files in the Finder under Snow Leopard launches applications associated with the types of the files regardless of which applications used to create those files. I like it but I can see why those users who have been using Mac for 2 decades hate it. Other than that it forces one to adopt a new habit, I think it makes sense both conceptually and practically to ignore creator codes for most users.

i just did a format and im just curious if i should updating with snow leopard. i had it on before but i never really noticed a difference at all to be honest.
View 10 Replies View Relatedi'm using snow leopard. and i was just wondering what command open's up a new terminal window, typing bash or sh would only create a bash or sh session within the same terminal window. Yes i know i can just press command+n or go to the menu and shell->new window. but i'm looking for a typed-out command to do this. Example would be in ubuntu, you would type gnome-terminal in any terminal, and a new terminal window would pop up.
View 3 Replies View RelatedFor anyone lucky enough to try one of the pre-release versions of Snow Leopard, do you know if it has any updates to Boot Camp? What's the latest version of Boot Camp right now thats available to the general masses?
View 10 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know if you will finally be able to hide or disable the dock in Snow Leopard? I mean hide as in, it doesn't pop up if you're mouse is in that area of the screen.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI installed snow leopard onto an external USB harddrive, just to test it out with my computer (macbook pro, 17-inch, not sure which year it's from, I've had it since 2007)
I ran into a major issue, the trackpad response is extremely sluggish (about a 1-second delay between the movement on the trackpad and the movement on the screen)
Interestingly enough, when I boot snow leopard on my friend's laptop (macbook pro, 15-inch, also from 2007), the trackpad responds just fine.
