The information you provided is not, if I'm not mistaken, public. For instance, running the serial number--and according to my local mac store this is a perfectly permissible and safe way to sell...

Doh. It occurs to me that I should have mentioned my willingness to sell the machine outright (in case that isn't a given)--just seems that I should shoot for a trade, since I'd like to come out the...

Heh. rwm, I read your first (that is unedited) post, and while I was researching the price you provided--which seemed WAY too high--you must have fixed your initial estimation. I was a little...

Hi,

I believe I've over-purchased, not that I'm too disappointed. Might be wise to consider a trade down, though.

I have a MBP C2D 2.16GHz/2GB/120GB, with a stunning array of add-ons: red...

Hi all,

I'm in the market for a PPC mini mobo, preferably a 1.25GHz, though any PPC should work. (Would you believe that I can't even find an outrageously priced one on ebay?)

Thanks.

Hey All,

I have an idea. Not sure that I'll be able to test it though since the only PPC I have is a Clamshell. So, even if this doesn't work, it's not clear to me that it would show that it...

Hey folks,

Well, I’ve had my MBP for a couple of months now and (finally) I’m ready to start looking seriously into some peripherals. Perhaps hastily, I sold off a bunch of stuff when I sold my...

Heh. Okay, maybe not elegant, but surely there are points to be had for clever.

Probably I’d go with the ipod-FW sync cable if my only concern were to get the iBook and iPod to play together. ...

This seems to me primarily a USB question, but I might be wrong.

My niece has a pre-USB2 iBook, and she just got a 2nd gen nano (which is very unhappy with the USB1). I’ve found a number of...

Hey All:

Thought I'd give an update (for those interested).

I can't remember whose idea is was (and I'm too lazy to scroll back to find out):o, but someone recommended that I do a fresh...

Hmm Guys: Afraid that you lost me. So, bear with me if (as?) much of what I say misses something very basic.

Regarding the ports, of course this model has both FW400 and FW800. My clumsy...

Ah, so do everything on the external? While on the subject of speeds, why does the system profiler say:



FireWire Bus:

Maximum Speed: Up to 800 Mb/sec

OXFORD IDE Device 1:

TZ: The image, I guess, that iDVD makes is stored as part of the project and so would be on the drive that the project is on? If so, there is about 60GB unused (according to the "get info" from the...

Well, the SMC reset seems to have fixed some things. I can now put the machine to sleep via the main drop down or via a light touch of the power button (just enough for the options to pop up). When...

Hey Guys,

Thanks for all of the helpful suggestions. Here's a run-down of what I've got and what I've done.

I've got a MBP C2D 2.16 w/ the stock 120GB drive and a gig of RAM. I have several...

Costa: yeah, I do tend to think of this place as my personal think-tank. Still, find that I've got to do a bit of poking around myself before actually doing something to my machine (or driving an...

heheheh wear it as a suppository. :D

Unfortunately, I've already had to exchange it once and, since--biggest error of my mac life--it's a refurb., they will replace it only if they have another...

Ah, sorry 'bout that. I've the 2.16GHz C2D (Boot ROM: MBP22.00A5.B01). I thought that all of the C2D had n, but I guess that's not so.

I'll check out the article, thanks. Gotta say, though,...

All,

Well, I've decided that a hardware cooling solution is in order. As per unclemac's recommendation, I've installed SMC fan control. Doing pretty simple iDVD stuff, the temp will soar to...

Hey All,

Quick question about marking up documents in OS 10.4.8. I recently moved to a MBP (from a G4) and decided to try using exclusively Apple apps (e.g., no MS Office or Adobe CS). My needs...

Hmm. The FAQ indicates that there should be an editing button on/near this thread (and the permissions down at the bottom of the CP says that I can edit my own posts); yet I see no such button. Has...

Hmm. If there's really that concern, let's just blow away the thread--editing seems an overly clumsy and time consuming project given the length of the thread and the lack of earth shaking material...

unclemac.

Yes, beta certainly on the 10.5. I had to do a clean installation of 10.4--have been running off of the same backups/images for WAY too long now, and the intel mac seems unhappy with...

Hey Guys,

Well, I've had my second refurb MPB for a couple of weeks now. So far, so good. It arrived with a couple of minor scuffs (one on the LCD which upset me, but I've since overcome that). ...

Ah. A poster after my own heart--that a length I can respect! :p

This might have a happy(-er) ending after all . . . several hours laters (and a longish letter--and you people know that when I...
