Jasper Posted May 24, 2007 Posted May 24, 2007 Jasper is a ledge. FACT. Compliment or offense? I have no clue, since I'm not really willing to take Ledge for legend or just 'annoying thing', since I have no clue about english abriviations (and certainly not the real popular ones, I'm not in the English youth (dutch, dutch, dutch..)). But I'll take it as a compliment nonetheless.
KKOB Posted May 24, 2007 Posted May 24, 2007 Any suggestions to solve my beeping? it chimes 3 times about 2-3 hours apart :S
Ashley Posted May 24, 2007 Posted May 24, 2007 How do I remove stuff from the Dashboard, and how do I go about changing my city as it seems to think I live in Cardiff, Atlanta (guessing thats the state as it says AL...dunno if Atlanta is even a state though but whatever)

UziT Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 Hey guys/gals, Just needed some adive from you peeps, i've decided to get a macbook for me college in the next month or so, I decided to get it early because I wana get used to the whole mac thing and using photoshop etc on it. Right i'll get to the point. I was just wondering if anyone has had experiance with Apple's Financial Services thingy? I dont think I would able to save or wait until September so I thought this would be the best for me? Thanks guys
Emasher Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 congrads on your decision from what i've heard you get the best educational discount if you but from apples online store but other than that i can't be much help in that area.
Ashley Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 If I close my Macbook while its doing stuff (ie download stuff) does it cancel the programs or will it carry on downloading? Also, how do I shut it down. Do I just press the power button. I feel like I shouldn't...
Fields Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 ;453029]Also' date=' how do I shut it down. Do I just press the power button. I feel like I shouldn't...[/quote'] You've got to be kidding me? Apple > Shut down
Emasher Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 go to the apple menu there you have the options of sleep restart and shutdown. edit: darn fields beat me to it you can also hold down the power button until it turns off (that won't do anything) if you close the lid it will go to sleep and stop doing whatever its doing but when you open it up agian it will continue most things (asuming your still connected to the net.
Ashley Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 You've got to be kidding me? Apple > Shut down ^_^ To be honest I've been using it in the day and forgetting about it at night so its been on, but just 'sleeping' since I set it up.
Charlie Posted May 25, 2007 Author Posted May 25, 2007 I very rarely turn mine off. I just put it to sleep each night - you grow used to the white light fading off and on after a while.
Ashley Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 I very rarely turn mine off. I just put it to sleep each night - you grow used to the white light fading off and on after a while. The first night I put a jumper over it, and the second it was in its case. I'm a very tempermental sleeper. Everything has to be quiet and dark, which is a bitch in the summer.
Charlie Posted May 25, 2007 Author Posted May 25, 2007 I just make sure my chair is in the way of it now. It doesn't help that my mouse doesn't stop flashing either when it's plugged in.
KKOB Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 I just make sure my chair is in the way of it now. Me too actually lol I've never turned my mac off in the 6 weeks i've had it, just shut the lid or let it go into sleep if i fall asleep during a podcast at night. I've recently take to dozing off while listening to endless nattering-rather fun! http://www.macnn.com/articles/07/05/25/no.myspace.in.apple.stores/ ^^^ Thank Fuck!
Emasher Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 i don't even put mine to sleep as i back it up and even if i did i don't keep it in my bedroom anyway. there's no pointing turning it off though (unless energy bills are alot higher in Europe than they are in Canada) and if you have it plugged in you don't even need to put it to sleep.
Wesley Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 What's the difference of putting it to sleep and just leaving it for the default 15 minutes?
Charlie Posted May 26, 2007 Author Posted May 26, 2007 What's the difference of putting it to sleep and just leaving it for the default 15 minutes? Putting it to sleep does it instantly, meaning it is a lot quieter if you have it in your bedroom at night.
KKOB Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 Seriously, no one knows anything about this 3 beep thing i keep hearing from my macbook pro? it's starting to annoy me!
ThePigMarcher Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 Seriously, no one knows anything about this 3 beep thing i keep hearing from my macbook pro? it's starting to annoy me! Takeo , have you installed any extra RAM as the most common cause of the three beeps seems to be dodgy RAM (after googling 3 beeps on macbook). I suppose it's also possible that the factory installed RAM could also be problematic. Assuming you haven't contacted Applecare about this problem , it may be worth hearing their opinion.

I've been tempted to. The ram is the pre-installed 1gig stick and i'm experiencing no problems with the system as a whole or anything, it hasn't made the beeps today so as soon as it does again i'll have to call them. thanks!
Emasher Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 What's the difference of putting it to sleep and just leaving it for the default 15 minutes? if your not plugged in it will still drain the battery more than if your asleep

Yeah, if you're silly enough to pay for Apple Care you should deffo use it. Get yer moneys worth like.
KKOB Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 Yeah, if you're silly enough to pay for Apple Care you should deffo use it. Get yer moneys worth like. I've only had my mac for 6 weeks and the APP was about £50 for 3 years so
Jasper Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 I've only had my mac for 6 weeks and the APP was about £50 for 3 years so Even so, if you really believe that macs are so good - why did you get Applecare in the first place?
KKOB Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 Even so, if you really believe that macs are so good - why did you get Applecare in the first place? For ease and piece of mind for when i'm in Japan, if anything should ever screw up, i could just take it to the genius bar and get it all sorted. plus at £50 for 2 years extra manufacturers warranty and over 2 and a half years of phone support. That's worth it on any expensive hardware, especially something that cost me over a grand and is the reason why i'm living off rice, ramen, and anything else i can find in my cupboards.
