im a new mac user (from pc) and i need help
PLEASE, any help would be greattttly appreciated. thanks
1. I want to watch videos from sites like KBS SBS MBC on my mac, but how?
2. I like to keep my computer clean clean clean and so when I got my mac I started just deleting some things (it was stupid of me) thinking if I needed it, I would be able to just 'restore' it like on pc and it would go back to where it was before.. just to find out that to restore it on mac, i would have to drag it back to where I want it. Now my 'change desktop background' wont work. When I right click on desktop, and click change desktop bg, nothing pops up. Same goes with dock preference. Any way to fix this problem???
3. My Airport (wireless network) disconnects everytime it goes on sleep or I close the screen. So I have to reconnect everryyy single time. How annoying..
4. Does clubbox work on mac?
5. For any of you who watch videos on Mnet, I cant get it to work on my mac, help?
So basically Im a huge drama freak and I cant watch anything on my mac o_o; ummm... yah
1. Sorry, i don't have an account on KBS Korea so i couldn't find out what you were talking about. I'm not sure if their video players will run in US version of Firefox, or if they require you to install their own software which would probably NOT work on Macs.
2. Have you tried going through the Apple icon, System Preferences, Desktop/Screensaver? All Macs come with a system restore disc, if you have messed around with your computer you can restore that by reinstalling the OS by itself.
3. When you put your computer to sleep it's asleep - the whole point is to suspend all computer functions. My suggestion is to set your screensaver (set mine to 10 min.), and display sleep (set mine to 15 min.) and leave the computer running if you're downloading something overnight.
4. I don't believe Clubbox works for Mac.
5. No idea.
6. If you're a drama freak i'd recommend watching them via sites like Crunchyroll.com, MySoju, or downloading them via D-addicts website.
AHH.
I still can't decide between the MB and MBP.
Please help me decide?
I'm an architecture/civil engineering major/film production freak.
I use Final Cut Pro, Photoshop and the works.
I honestly think I'll leave most of the heavy working/editing on my iMac that I already have (It's not the current iMac but the one before it. I got it like 2 weeks before the new one came out .__. But I like the sleek white look over the new generation anyway.)
I'm patient enough for the rumored MB in late September since that's when I start school anyways.
My school has a special back to school pricing that's pretty much like the Apple store one but it doesn't come with a free printer.
I either want the MB 2.4GHz Black - $1349 or the MBP 2.5GHz 15" - $2199.
Both will be upgraded to 4GB memory btw.
Do I really need a MBP though considering I'll be using my iMac too?
I really only need a laptop for classes and stuff.
Some of the editing programs will be going in my future MB/MBP.
Because I might be editing in class too ya know?
Btw. Is it worth it to get VMware Fusion for $40?
I have to get a windows program with it too right?
Windows Vista Business - $80? Is that okay?
Should I wait for the MB update? Or go ahead with one of my choices?
I don't have an iPod at the moment since I lost my shuffle .___.
So a 32GB iTouch would be nice. But I don't need one, ya know?
Also, even if it's more expensive after the back to school special, it's okay but I wouldn't mind saving some $$.
I'm that 1% that got infected .____.
Basically, I updated my limewire and I forgot to set my limewire so that other users don't get access to my files.
I basically got hacked into and I couldn't turn on my computer.
Blank screen of death for awhile .___.
It easily got fixed though by inserting one of the CDs I forgot the name but it came with the computer.
So just set your limewire to private or whatever and don't let it run all day just to be safe.
I still use limewire & I haven't encounter anything like that since then.
If i were you i'd get the base model of Macbook and buy a Mac Pro tower for all the heavy work. While MBP will make a difference in terms of speed using Adobe CS3 and rendering, it will not make a HUGE leap when considering the price costs and that you're upgrading to 4GB RAM anyways. After all when you consider render times, there's only so much a laptop can do. Eventually you will have to put down for a Mac Pro tower, and so it's best not to dump $3K into that MBP right now. Since you only need the laptop for classes and stuff, if I were you i'd just get the Macbook instead, and use the saved money for a Mac Pro tower. Do you have an iPhone 3G? Using that plus a Macbook would cover pretty much anything. Also i don't like VMWare, i prefer Parallels unless you do heavy gaming in which case you should do a BIOS based emulation like Bootcamp. What do you need Windows Vista Business anyways? Vista is crap anyways so save your money and just get the Home edition.
Of course if money isn't the issue go all out and get the MBP...
I'm using it now.
