can u add a password on the startup screen like in windows?

i'm assuming when you first turn on the computer right??

- click on the apple on the top left hand corner

- go to "System Preferences"

- under System, click on "Accounts" (here you can add other login names as well)

- put your login name and set a password

- click on "Show All" at the top (brings you back to all the preferences)

- under Person, click on "Security"

- Where it says "For all the accounts on this computer:" check the box "Disable automatic login"

any other questions feel free to ask..

you can get rid of it later on...

i'm a lil unfamiliar on the uninstallation...

i don't know if you can delete it without

having to do a full reformat on it though..

you might have to do a back up on your files

and reformat the whole computer and just

install the osx without the windows...

If you install windows on it using Bootcamp which u can get on apple.com

you can delete the partition. I dont suggest doing it unless you know what to do for sure :x

Mac is too precious ><;;

yea, i'm actually looking for a prog to convert wma to mp3.

i know itunes for windows does it. but not itunes on mac.

it just plays on wmp.

as for rmvb files..

i think real player would work.

tt's how i play mine.

for people with a macbook.

how the heck do you clean it?

and my macbook's getting dirtyy! even with a keypad protector.

[Guest pookiee_x]

so i'm thinking about getting macbook. I'm not sure about the color. i know the white one is glossy... is the black one glossy too? How do you protect your mac? Like prevent scratches, dirty, etc. And how do you clean them?

i have the black macbook.

to keep it clean i use a special cloth.

i use the cloth that comes with my eye glasses

so that when i wipe it, it doesn't leave dust or whatnot still on it...

for my screen i use regular water, nothing else..

i used that same procedure with my old powerbook g4 12"

to keep it as clean as possible, i wipe it after i use it everytime...

my bf has the black macbook too and uses his eye glass cleaner solution

to wipe off finger prints left on the black...

i'm not quite sure how ppl take care of the white..

but i know quite a few ppl who's white macbook

turns yellow/grey where the palms are and such....

the black macbook is not glossy. it has a matte finish to it... (i like it better)

as for preventing scratching... just be extra careful and

buy a sleeve for it. not just dump it in a regular laptop messenger bag...

keep it in those special laptop sleeves..

they use a nice soft material. they have it available at the apple store..

Yeah, there is. I'm using a program called switch. Try finding for it. Actually i-tunes is already able to convert files into mp3 format but... wma isn't "readable" by i-tunes so you can't use it i guess cos I've tried that already.

Anyway, if you have got any files that you want to convert it mp3 format using i-tunes. Just highlight the song you want and go to the top click on the one that says "advanced" there you will see a whole list of stuff click on the one that says "convert selection to MP3" and it will automatically convert for you.

hi everyone!

I am a PROUD MacBook user. I had just got a MacBook 13'' back in July this year!!(about a month ago)

After your Dell Latitude laptop crashes 100293849028340934x a day, after 6 re-formats every 3 months. You just get tired of Windows.

I was looking online, and I really like the MacBook Pro. I don't know if I should go back and exchange the MacBook for the MacBook Pro. So can someone give me some inputs on how they compare? like..which one would YOU prefer. What are some Pros and Cons of the MacBook and the MacBook Pro?

and also. HOW DO YOU CLEAN THE PLACE WHERE YOUR HAND LEAVES THIS...YELLOW STAIN ON THE WHITE MACBOOK? I tried like lense wipes on there and it doesn't work....=(

thanks so much!

[Guest dREAMYrEVERIE]

ACK YEAH my white macbook started doing that.. so... I decided to buy a cover just for the keyboard.

That picture is from amazon, I bought it from ebay for like $8 after shipping though. =) I can't wait until it comes, it covers the palm area also so there shouldn't be any more problems. Plus if it gets dirty you can pull it off and clean it instead of the macbook ><.

[Guest bonbons]

^oo that's neat!!! maybe i should get one, mine hasn't started staining yet lol but i'm so paranoid XD

[Guest <3one]

Hi Everyone! I got a 15.4 inch Macbook Pro two months ago and I'm still trying to get used to it =] i love the design and I think it's more organized than windows.

i have a question about running windows on a mac... how do you do it? I'm downloading bootcamp right now and will that take care of everything or do i need to get the windows cd and format it? And also what is parallel or vmware fusion? do I need that too? Thanks in advance!

congrats to your macbook....

if you're downloading bootcamp,

you don't need parallels or vmware fusion.

it's just available software when bootcamp

wasn't available to use...

you still need the get the windows cd

in order to run windows on your mac...

you'll need to partition the hard drive...

[Guest tszho]

[Guest Smileforjessie]
