top of the casing is all scratched slightly dented, corners are all gouged. SO when i put my arms on the laptop rest it pokes me wiht the new spikes created by the concrete! =)

YAY FOR ME

[Guest stoner beans]

heyyy again.

for all you macbook users, aka all of you?, do you use a sleeve or a hard case?

i'm not sure whether to get one or the other. or both. @___@

i use a sleeve. its easier to use and a hard case makes it more bulkier

recenty, my bf dropped his new MacBook and the aluminum casing got dented multiple times and the hinge that opens the mac got scratched up making the screen a bit unaligned.

i felt so bad because he was so so so sad since apple care and its warranty doesnt cover it butttt....

we brought it to the store and the nice genius bar dude told us that they would send it back to the factory to get it replaced. so freaking lucky!!! it was such a relief because it was less than a month old and he already shipped it back once to fix a mysterious smudge on his screen. it came back in less than a week completely bran new!

make sure you back up your stuff before you make a visit to the genius bar though.

Hello fellow Mac users, may I ask how do you watch Korean channels live online since TVants is only for Windows? Any alternatives to TVants? I don't intend to run Windows on my Mac via Bootcamp or Parallels. Oh yes I've found this tutorial on how to install TVants on Mac (http://www.sammo.org/tvantsonmac/). Has anyone tried this successfully? Let me know, thanks!

i dropped my brand new unibody macbook pro on the concrete (4ft off the ground)!! YAY FOR ME

It still works btw!

i dropped mine on hardwood floor and ended up with these lovely long scratches and one dent. i don't know how it could've gotten scratched so badly but it breaks my heart to look at it. i feel your pain!

[Guest TrendSetter]

I am changing the icons on my dock however i can't seem to change: finder, dashboard, system preferences and recycle bin. Anybody know how to change these? Thanks

[christiiiina]

pretty bomb

i got my mac for my birthday!

i wanted a macbook pro

but my mom said no.

so i just go the white macbook the 13 inch with the burner~

[christiiiina]

sorry~ if the mod can delete this.

my interent is being wack.

i made it post twice.

[sujeans]

imo i think hard cases make them look fugly. i use incase neoprene sleeve which is probably the most common one i see. its crazy soft inside so no scratches and its has a nice mesh to prevent outside damage

merry christmas!

i agree i really dont carry my mac around but if i do i use the sleeve.

Yes, you can burn CD's on the MacBook. You may need special software depending upon what you are trying to burn though. Audio CD's you can simply use iTunes or if you prefer other methods you can use something like Roxio Toast, etc.

i have the white macbook as well but do any of you know if the mac can burn dvd's? and if it can..... if i should use dvd -r/+r? and what software should i use to convert .avi to dvd format?

[rocpinkslip]

hey all I'm back again and I just wanted to know if there's a print screen option (or combo) to do print screen? Or if there's a program (wow I really hope not) oh btw i have the white macbook

Edit:

You can try a keyboard combination for doing a print screen. I assume you want to make a screen shot of something, yes? If so you can do Apple + shift + 3 or Apple + shift + 4 depending on how much of the screen you want to capture. You could also use grab under the application folder.

oooo thank you! I will try that! :-)

how many people actually have applecare?

i didn't realize that you had to get it within the 1 year warranty,

so my laptop is left without any insurance or anything.

wondering if there are any other good laptop insurance

other than applecare that you guys have.

also, anyone experiencing bulging laptop batteries? D:

TAKE THAT TO AN APPLE STORE ASAP!!!!

They will replace that even out of warranty. It's dangerous to continue to use.
