Does anyone have the wired full size apple keyboard w/ the numeric pad?

I got it a couple days ago and it definitely takes some getting used to. But that phase is over now and I love this keyboard. The build quality is amazing and typing feels just like my MBP keyboard.

Apple :: What Size SSD For MBP 13

Apr 25, 2010

I am going to get a SSD and I wanted the 80GB from intel, but Kingstons 64GB can be had for 140ish

I would use it for only apps and the OS

I could get a portable hard drive or flash drive (32GB+) for Media..

Would this be a good decision or should I just get the 80, or should I save more and get a 100GB+ SSD?

Apple :: 17'' Macbook Pro - What Size Ssd

Apr 19, 2010

I have already figured out what i want on my 17'' macbook pro I'm going to buy except about the storage drives. I work with huge databases and after seeing the improvement other people I know have had after switching to ssd drives, (people who are running the same program(s) I do), I have decided that is what I need. But I really need help figuring out what size ssd I need to get, and whether to do something goofy like remove optical drive & replace with ssd or plug ssd in to expresscard slot(if even possible?)
details below:

I will be running windows via bootcamp, as the programs I mainly use only work on windows. I was looking at the 128gb ssd, and the 256gb ssd. I am not sure if 128gb is enough though. When I'm not working in windows I figured i could use the mac os for basic web stuff etc. and I would like to learn to use some of the mac music making programs for fun eventually, but I don't think I'd need much space for that(right?). I'm not a huge gamer, but i would also like room to throw a couple games on my pc, i mean mbp to play once in a while, and figure 2-3 games is going to take up around 20gb at least. I need my music, that's going to be like 10gb probably. And then I also need some room for some random movies and videos that I like to play in the background sometimes while I'm working. I figure that's prob around 20gb. So would 128gb drive be enough or should I go for the 256? It's a huge cost increase, but I figure, it's already costing me around 2700, so an extra 600 is worth it for being able to use it the way I want to, and I would just consider it an extra business expense. I read that windows 7 takes up around 30gb and could not find out how much space mac os takes up, so I would really like to hear from ppl with experience here.....

I just ordered the basic Mac Mini tonight. Picked up 4GB of ram from newegg and a 500gb HDD. Shopping for a LCD now.

Is the GPU good enough to power a 26'' monitor? I'd be willing to go to 24'' at the lowest.

Apple :: LESS HDD Space After RAM Upgrade Or HW Check

Jun 17, 2009

there is something I am not able to understand. After I upgraded RAM to 4Gb (from 2Gb) with original Apple RAM. I ran an H/W check (the short and the long one) at next boot and everything was OK (NFF). In spite of this I noted that there were 2Gb less on my HDD and I do not really understand why. Do you have any idea on the reason of this event?

Was it because of the H/W check? Or something odd after RAM upgrade?

why this happened (if you got an idea) and what I could do in order to recover these 2GB (I have plenty of space now but I would prefer to have 2Gb of photos / mp3 instead of stolen space).

Apple :: File Compatibility - PC--> MBP

Jan 27, 2010

complain about the differences between Apple's version of MS Office Home and the PC variety.

Speaking generally, have you noticed any issues in working on Word/Excel/Powerpoint files on your MBP that were created on a PC, and vice versa?

I'm asking because my company (as do most) uses PCs at work, and I'm wondering if there could be any issues in my working on MS Office files at home with a MBP and then planning to send them to colleagues who are using PCs.

Apple :: MBP - Way To Run A Check Up On Hard Drive And Software

Apr 2, 2009

I recently had some problems with my MBP...

Quote:

I have the 17 inch MacBook pro...just got it yesterday.

Right now, it will not boot passed the white screen with the apple logo.

I inserted the OSX CD and booted from the CD by holding C... now I guess I'm installing OSX onto the HD again to see what happens.

This problem occurred after my thumb drive was acting up. When I put in the thumb drive, and then start transferring files into the thumb drive... the little progress window would freeze up. I could not force quit, as you can't force quit "Finder" for whatever reason. So I had to do a restart by holding down the power key. Again, same thing happened and I had to do the power key reset...

Apple :: Folder File Management

May 13, 2010

how 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.

Apple :: File Permissions Stuffed

Oct 2, 2009

I some how managed to completely screwup the file permissions ownership on my macbook (10.6). This seems to have also mirrored itself to my timemachine. So I did a clean instal of SL, and then manually moved my files from TM back across, but unfortunatley the permission for all said files are wrong.

So I went as set using cmd+I the permission to myself as owner, as checked to apply to enclosed items, thinkin that would do the trick.

Unfortunately while it did fix a few files, the majority still remain stuck with the "_unknown" as the owner, which is preventing me from opening and using pretty much everything on my mac.

Does anyone know a way to force write the owner permissions to me for ALL files in my home directory?

I have tried the repair permissions in disk utility several times, it does nothing

Apple :: Notebooks That Could Rival Macbook Air In Terms Of Size And Weight

Apr 18, 2010

I don't really get why no other companies out there tried to beat the size and weight set by macbook air. I know many sacrifices were made when macbook air was designed 2 years ago, but I thought years later companies would have designed notebooks/netbooks of similar or smaller size without making too much sacrifice. what is the reason no one tries to beat this? all the notebooks out there are still at least 1 inch.

Apple :: Snow Leopard: Making Apps Remember Window Size/Position

Sep 21, 2009

Seems there's some sort of odd issue with only some apps running under SL where they don't retain any sort of settings as far as where the window was.

Preview, for example, always opens in the same not-actually-"maximized" position no matter what I do to it. I open a lot of PDF files, so I'd like to be able to specify how they open. (A plus would also be to auto-select the annotate -> comment function).

Apple :: Third-party File Encryption / Encrypted Images With Time Machine

Nov 1, 2009

My understanding is that FileVault's shortcomings are such:

- Documented vulnerabilities
- Requires that user be logged off to backup with Time Machine

I have a few things on my notebook that I would like to be kept safe in the event of a loss or theft. I used to use AxCrypt on Windows for this, but there are no OSX builds for it, so what I'm wondering is this:

- If I create an encrypted image and use it like a TrueCrypt/Cryptainer partition, will Time Machine back the image up as it changes over time like any other file?
- Is there any reason I shouldn't do that over some other way of keeping things safe?

Dell :: HDD Size Different Than Advertised

Jan 27, 2010

The studio 1555 I purchased this month was advertised as having a 320Gig HDD, my invoice says that the laptop included a 320Gig HDD, but the C: drive only advertises that it is 283Gig.

My quesion is, where has 37Gig gone? Has anyone else noticed the same thing? Is it just an odd way Dell have set up the initial partitions and if I were to do a complete format and reinstall I would be able to see, and use, 320Gig?

Acer :: ExpressCard Size

Apr 17, 2009

Has anyone any experience with these ExpressCards that modern laptops seem blighted with?

For my Aspire 2920, I've purchased a 34mm adapter to provide firewire sockets. It fits the 34/54 socket and sort of works, although I need to look at some software problems.

This is where the trouble starts. The card plugs into the wider slot, but then I attach a full-size firewire connector and its heavyish cable to the card. The card can rock sideways because, being a 34 mm card in a 54mm wide opening, there can be 20 mm of sideways movement at the front while the back is held by the internal connector. Plugging and unplugging the firewire connector wobbles the card in the slot and it is obviously connecting and disconnecting rapidly without going through the software remove process.

The whole mechanical arrangement seems hopeless. The card isn't secure and there is no button to unlock and remove the card like on the old pcmcia slots. I suppose I could carve a 20mm piece of something to wedge the card into place, but maybe someone here knows how it should be done.

Surely the ExpressCard system can't be designed to be as bad as this?
