Today marks the day that I've had my MacBook Air for 14 days, and it also marks the last day that I have to return my MacBook Air to Apple.
So here's my story. I was playing on my MacBook Air yesterday in the morning and it started to creak when it was moved at certain positions and angles, and whenever I put my wrists on the palmrest area. I wouldn't have thought much of it, but I just paid $1300+ for this Mac and I expect it to be nearly perfect, and up until yesterday, it was. So anyways, my MacBook Air continued to creak all day yesterday and is still creaking today.
I finally had had enough of the creaking and called Apple Support. The person that helped me with my issue was VERY friendly, helpful, and seemed intent on getting my problem fixed. After giving him my information, he quickly looked up the issue and told me that a couple of the MacBook Air's have been reported to creak, but that it can be fixed by taking it to an Apple Store and having them fix it at no charge.
After telling me this, he quickly set up an appointment to talk to a Genius tomorrow at 4:00 PM. I was VERY surprised at how much the Apple Support rep seemed to care about my issue. I've owned a lot of laptops/PC's in the past and whenever I needed support, they always sucked. Apple Support was amazing and I couldn't have asked for a better experience.
This whole process took under 10 minutes, and for me the greatest thing about Apple's Support was that I COULD ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND THIS GUY! Once when I needed support from HP for my PC, I couldn't understand any of the reps at all and they didn't seem to understand what I was asking, so I ended up fixing the problem on my own, the Apple Support rep that I talked to, on the other hand, was friendly, clear in what he was saying, and intent on helping me fix my problem.
I love Apple. <3 :D

Hi guys.
Whats the best, and most efficient way, to convert a Blue ray movie (BD) to DVD format? Toast or Handbrake.
Which would be quicker ?
The resulting movie would be dumped into iDVD and adding menu-ing to burn as a DVD project. Or if done via Toast.

Ok, so i just reinstalled bitesms on my phone, i missed it but i was afraid it woudl slow down my iphone 4 like i noticed on my 3gs.
But how do i get unlimtones and bitesms to shake hands?
I liked my custom SMS sounds, but when i try to set them in unlimtones, it gives me an error saying i have to use bitesms, but i cant see any of the custum ones i downloaded in bitesms...
Any ideas?

I have an original Macintosh that I pulled from my parents garage and I was able to insert one disk successfully, which would not then I eject, so I took a paperclip and manually ejected it. Since then, the machine will not accept any disks, they go in most of the way, but the computer does not "click" and accept the disk. Any ideas? Thanks

This app sounds perfect for what I'm looking for. Gutted its been removed from the app store.
Is there any way I can get it?
I've no idea what to do with the source files from the link above.
Would it be possible to have someone send me their .app folder if they already have it using SSH?
There seems to be literally no other option that will do the same thing as this app.

It's a good time, but it will be even better next year.
Get a low end Mac, maybe a Mac Mini, start building a familiarity with the OS and establish a software library, and in 2-3 years (or even in one if you wish) buy an Intel Mac.
Why do I say this? An Intel Mac will be a switcher's paradise. The ability to dual boot Windows and Mac OS X, run many Windows apps through WINE and Windows games through Cedega, etc.

The iPhone can't handle Charlie with just an A4 processor. After all, we heard Charlie tell us what the "Charlie Sheen drug" will do to you. You need an A5 for that.

I haven't seen this news anywhere else.
http://3anime.com/apple-ipad-2-jailbreak-on-ios-4-3-1-now-possible-with-pwnagetool/3426
Its good news for those who updated their Apple iPad 2 and iPhone 4 to iOS 4.3.1. The download of the PwnageTool is now ready for those who want to jailbreak their devices now. It has been a long wait for consumers as they waited for the Apple iPad 2 Jailbreak since Apple announced a iOS 4.3.1 that will break the vulnerability to unlock the iPad 2. PwnageTool is the latest jailbreak from the Dev-team with the help of DjayB6 on iOS 4.3.1 jailbreak bundle and Universal Ramdisk Fixer. All iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch under the firmware iOS 4.3.1 can now be successfully jailbroken. We have the easy guide on how to do the Apple iPad 2 Jailbreak on iOS 4.3.1 using PwnageTool. Again this is a tethered jailbreak!
Here we have the quick steps on how to with with the Apple iPad 2 jailbreak on iOS 4.3.1:
Step 1: Download PwnageTool bundle (includes Universal Ramdisk Fixer) for your version of iOS device. Extract the .zip folder, in there you will find a .bundle file, for this guide, we are using iPhone 4 bundle iPhone3,1_4.3.1_8G4.bundle. Move this file to your desktop.
Step 2: Download PwnageTool 4.2 and copy it to /Applications directory. Right click, and then click on �Show Package Contents�
Step 3: Navigate to Contents/Resources/FirmwareBundles/ and paste iPhone3,1_4.3.1_8G4.bundle file in this location.
Step 4: Download Universal Ramdisk Fixer (part of the PwnageTool bundle package that you downloaded in Step 1 above) and simply install it as shown in the screenshots below. This is important because Ramdisk in the current version of PwnageTool is broken. This Universal Ramdisk Fixer basically patches it correctly for iOS 4.3.1 firmware
Step 5: Download iOS 4.3.1 firmware. Move this file to your desktop
Step 6: Start PwnageTool in �Expert mode� and select your device
Step 7: Browse for iOS 4.3.1 firmware for your device
Step 8: Now select �Build� to start creating custom 4.3.1 firmware file
Step 9: PwnageTool will now create the custom .ipsw file for your iPhone which will be jailbroken.
Step 10: Now follow the following steps to enter DFU mode using PwnageTool
Step 11: Start iTunes, click on your iOS device icon from the sidebar in iTunes. Now press and hold left �alt� (option) button on Mac, or Left �Shift� button if you are on Windows on the keyboard and then click on �Restore� (Not �Update� or �Check for Update�) button in the iTunes and then release this button.
Step 12: iTunes will be doing most of the work in this step. Your iOS device screen at this point will be showing a progress bar indicating installation progress. After the installation is done, your iOS device will be jailbroken on iOS 4.3.1.
And there you have it, a tethered iOS 4.3.1 Apple iPad 2 Jailbreak! Good luck!

apple has become what we all hated in the past , a gadged maker who happens to produce pc's too , they might have the apple logo on somewhere , but inside is a simple pc like you get them from dell and sony ....and others
and they run like the others windows operating systems , ok i heard the new ones can run osx too.... so hiding the apple logo on the underside of the keyboards is important , next thing the apple logo will disappear from the front /sides/ top of the mac's to the underside , like apple is ashamed of its products
and it already started , iphone ..no logo on front, ipod ..no logo on front ,ipad..no logo on front , ok i can understand apple , i would be ashamed too
if i transformed a reputable computer manufacturer to a gadget manufacturer
Is there any way mac users to show our concerns to apple about what is happening?
will not do much, I know. But as you say, Apple has Become Hated What we all in the Past
I would like remind to Apple the Think Different

If that happens often, take it to apple, as kernel panics like that can be signs of bad hardware.

Why should the Bioshock moniker be connected to Andrew Ryan or Rapture? It is more connected to the plasmids.

Start with the normal stuff.... zap pram/nvram, reinstall OS X, then call AppleCare.
And repairing permissions, slightly less drastic than an OS install.

Is this format repliable? Would there be an instance a clone may be more reliable as a backup since it maintains the actual file structure of the drive being backed up?
(I have another identical drive to store offsite so please no lectures on having a drive offsite.... Let's please stick to the questions at hand.)
It's no more or less reliable than any other backup solution. Assuming you will always be backing up to a machine with Snow Leopard on it (or being installed on it), "reliability" will depend on the mechanics of the hard drive itself.
