That screenie looks the same as my 11" Air with W7 Ultimate SP1, and audio is working fine on here.

Can you go into the Start menu, right click Computer, click Manage, then click Device Manager on the left hand bar. Check whether or not if there's any errors under the Sound menu.

I'll see if I can dig up the driver set I have and upload it somewhere. (assuming the 11" model uses the same audio chip as the 13"...?)

I had a display error on my previous installation (res would not go over 800x600 even after installing the Boot Camp drivers) and removing/reinstalling the drivers did nothing to solve the issue. I had to reinstall Windows- I would suggest not installing anything just yet because you might have to go through the pains of reinstalling ;)

I just ordered the Rebel and I should receive it in a few days. I owned a few for my 3GS. It was a great case, so I have high expectation for it.

Fullforce - make regular apps iPad compatible (sometimes erratic)

The new one has some improvements in internal layout, cooling, and expandability.

I wouldn't personally call the vertical mounting of hard drives and a goliath-sized heatsink an improvement...

i cant wait to see how the silicon will help with reception issues.

I am not sure if this is the right section.

I like giving away free information based on my experiences. I wish more people did it so I wouldn't have to buy laptop parts from bad suppliers.

I know people like t fix things themselves. What I would like to do here is have a list of good suppliers for certain parts where the end user can buy parts for their Macbook one at a time, and a list of ones to avoid, with the reasons why. My experiences will be devoid of bias, personal remarks, and stick to places where I have had the unfortunate experience of doing repeat business.

I will update this list over time, and I encourage others to chime in. there are many suppliers I have used not listed here since I don't have all the names and information ready off hand.

I am only listing suppliers of use to people looking to buy one part, not places that specialize in quantities of 50+, as that is useless to joe-blow looking to fix his out of warranty laptop.

The hall of fame:

sunvalleytek/sunvalleyus/smartlaptopparts(on ebay)

They have occasionally sent out the incorrect screen, when they did, they paid for return shipping. They offer amazing prices, and a great RMA process

screenaid(on ebay)

see sunvalleyus. They are also great for local pickup in NYC. Unlike sunvalleyus, they do not ship the model they give you in the title. They ship a samsung or something else. For the 13.3" macbook, they do not ship the regular model samsung apple uses. It looks the same to me, but the brightness/dim buttons` on the keyboard will not work unless you have some drivers/a newer OSX installed.

izashop (on ebay)

small things like top cases, bezels, etc. fast shipping, best prices, good parts.

screencountry

Their prices fluctuate greatly, which is unfortunate. However, they have a plethora of LCDs to select from, the occasional quantity discount, great shipping rates, and decent support.

The hall of SHAME:

blisscomputers/expresslcdscreens/browngranite

they claim to use "compatible" parts. However, what they send out is often ****. no model, no name junk with

- bars down the left side of the LCD
- poor fit
- washed out colors

I have, and others have, been roped into buying from them on numerous occasion. I am hoping someone I heard from recently who went through the experience I did will chime in here. Their parts are trash. They are notorious for the 15.4" LED LCDs that go for $177.

It is fine to sell alternative compatible models, but they truly stretch the definition of compatible. screencountry does this with a few LCDs, but they ship out ones where there is no visible difference, of established brand names and well known models.

ultradrives(ebay)

Imagine you buy part A. The eBay ad claims 13 available and a day later you'll receive an email with "GREAT NEWS!" claiming he's totally out of them, but that he can upgrade you to part B. You say sure, then he asks for more money. But you agreed to the price for part A. It's classic bait & switch, while being careless on eBay I made the mistake of using him a few times.

how small do your fingers need to be to use the mute switch?!? "THAT'S" why i dont like bumpers and cases.

Good things come to those patient enuff to wait. :apple:

Make this thread alive people ! its fun :D

I have one and it's protected my phone several times when I've dropped it. I'm not sure how much "lighter" it is than the slider though, since I don't think the slider is particularly that heavy...

You don't have to use the stylus, I've taken to just using my fingers with games like Pokemon that don't require precise input (barring the minigames). The touchscreen is used pretty well (or not at all) in the DS games I play. It's usually just used as an alternative to the dpad or they display action shortcuts on it.

Yea we're kinda spoiled on both the DS and PSP with RPGs. My PSP library is mostly just RPGs and the DS has some absolute gems. With a DS/DS Lite you can play GBA games too where there are even more RPG gems.

Yes, there is

It's not the number of Megapixels, but the sensor size. Jamming that many MPs into a tiny sensor will not give you a good camera

True.
An 8MP cam with with a better lens will destroy it.

Cameraphones will always be a bit gimped purely because of their size and multifunction nature.
I had the 12MP SE Satio for a couple of months and it was good for a phone but my old 7MP compact camera with a better lens blew it away.

I hope they are wrong. It is really sad. Apple just keeps falling behind more and more.

Neeed Help!

Even more reason 4 apple stores and then think of all the best buys

...americans help me out here there is a store in NY that does electronics.....SNAP just came to me there its called JR Electronics !



Actually there are more than 4 stores in NYC--in manhattan proper, yes just those 4, but staten island has one, i don't think any other borough does yet tho

and beyond those and best buy, save your gas. J and R does not carry the iPad as of yet. accessories only.

replied - and added the top cases for 12inchers g3 and g4 (trackpad/powerbutton etc)

I also have some speakers, and other random interior components and LOTS of frames.

um
ok if you have AC your dabbling Fraud much???

If your mac is burning make a app apt with no apple care may cost you.
You may get flat rate option.

If nothing is wrong with it and your just sour sell it and buy a new one...

Drag the .app to the trash. Don't use cleanmymac, appzapper, appcleaner or any crap like that.

Ugh, I just bought CleanMyMac. Could you elaborate more why these products are bad to use? Thanks

Nevermind: I see someone just addressed my question as I was posting.

So H.264 is a very compressed format. That sets off a flag right there. Ideally you wouldn't be provided footage in such a lossy format.

Taking the H.264 footage and converting it to DV NTSC is essentially compressing it again (albeit a lesser compression), but it is still increasing the generation count. Instead, I would try throwing it into compressor and transcoding to apple prores 422. That should hopefully alleviate any loss of quality.

But sadly we don't live in an ideal world :) And this is footage given out for television usage, believe it or not...(do CBS Sunday Morning and the Today Show really like getting footage in compressed h.264?)

I'll try prores 422. My thought was that as the the other footage is DVPro NTSC converting it to DV NTSC would be transcoding to a closely matching format. But it didn't seem to help any...

Hi,

Has anyone been able to force an apple store to guarantee a Lion O/S upgrade for free with the purchase of a Macbook pro now?

Just curious.

Thanks!

Usually the Up-to-Date programs start on the day the announce the release date (or announce something more specific than "summer"--like a month) and end a few months after the release.

The Snow Leopard UTD lasted from June 8 to December 29.

As a Mac user just avoid file sharing sites and start using OpenDNS.com (http://www.opendns.com/). They have an instructional video (http://www.opendns.com/support/videos/basic) to show you how to use it. This way you can block know Trojan hosting sites from ever reaching you along with blocking any site you want without having to install any software on your network.

Oh, by the way OpenDNS is in London (http://blog.opendns.com/2006/12/31/live-from-london-its-opendns/) and in Amsterdam (http://blog.opendns.com/2009/08/31/opendns-amsterdam/), as well as other servers around the world.

Is there a college near by? Check to see if they offer any web classes and walk in there one day and say you are just there for the trial version of 30 days. They will understand. On day 28.5, take a copy of dreamweaver from one of their putes.

It should work.

I think you have to have OS X server loaded on one mac for the other to beable to network boot off it.
