$399.00 CAN for the 3 year Apple care protection plan? Isn't that a bit steep? What do you guys think, is it worth it? Have you purchased the plan and why? What could possibly go wrong or come up as an issue over the first three years of my MacBooks' life cycle. How likely is it to get...

Here's an update on my original post: Yesterday it finally happened: The battery was all expanded just as described on the Apple site for the 15" MacBook Pro. https://support.apple.com/macbookpro15/batteryexchange/index.html It happened in a matter of hours. Worked for a while on the MacBook...

My MacBook Pro 17" shuts down with the battery indicator in the menu bar showing 46% - 48% (This number seems to be fairly consistent, tried it 5 times). I can only get it to restart by plugging the AC power adapter in. It does not go into sleep mode, but shuts down completely and abrupt without...

Thanks! Good info... I've also reset PRAM and NVRAM and are now running on battery power, so I should know if that solved the problem in the next hour or so. Contacting Apple is harder than I thought. I can't seem to find an e-mail address for support/help only a toll free number. Since there...

One more question: Can I run my MacBook Pro completely without the battery? Strictly on AC power without a battery in the battery compartment?

Could you please elaborate on that... not exactly sure what that means. I was just going to throw the same question out when I've came across this thread.I started having the same problem a few days ago. How does it work with the Apple warranty? I'm 600km north of the nearest Apple store...

I've started using iVideoMail a few days ago... works great and records right in Mail. An icon is installed in the pref pane and the clip gets embedded in the message body. Really great app for $10.00 US. You could save the clip if you don't want to send it as an e-mail, but the I guess iMovie...

Hilarious, best one of the Mac/Pc ads.

YES!!!!! Thanks DeltaMac .... I've tried so many combinations... would have saved a lot of time cleaning up my photos and music that way. Thanks again, one shortcut I won't forget!

Not sure why I can't find this shortcut... surly it must exist: Selecting multiple files in a list. Windows shortcut is: ctrl-alt-shift +click example: selecting multiple files in iTunes. I know I can hold command and click each file, but if its a long list there must be a faster way to...

I also have a second display attached, interesting... looked at the link above, but that's not quite what's going on, andychrist might be correct suggesting its related to my problem. I should check, if the color change happens without the 2nd monitor attached. Like I've mentioned before its...

Do all of them cause the same problem? Good question, I should try that. I'm using a slide show... folder in iPhoto. And yes, it is changing, but not really back and forth, as I have to manually go into the control panel and click on display to get it back to normal. But that's all. I don't...

Yes, I'm a switcher... I use application enhancer for "Clear Dock" and LCC scroll enhancer... I've checked settings in System Preferences>Color>Display Profile and noticed the color my screen is switching to is: Generic RGB Profile. Should I just delete that profile? thx

I am having this strange "color change" happening after the screen saver has been activated. I move the mouse to close the screen saver and the grayish color scheme (graphite) has changed to a light blue. I then have to go into the control panel and click on display to get the graphite back. No...

Here's a screen shot of my VNC connection... almost looks like running Windows in Parallels.

VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing and allows you to remotely control another computer. Chicken of the VNC is a client that will allow you to log into another computer and see that computer's screen (and control it of course). The computer you are login into will act (or is?) the server...

I am using an old laptop (Windows) running WinVNC and my MacBook running ChickenOfTheVNC to monitor my driveway when I'm working away from home. My place is really remote and it's nice to know there are no vehicles in the driveway, no cattle has broken the fence and no forest fire burned down...

That is a really funny show... I've watched season 2 & 3 on Google Video and quite enjoyed it. Sort of the European "guy's" version of "Sex in the City"... if you know the show, you'll enjoy the Mac ads even more. I'm sure that's part of the attraction for the British viewers.

Thanks supanatral! interesting... my first thought was my mouse as well. I'm using the Logiteck MS Revolution mouse with tons of programmable buttons. My thought was that maybe the left click command was changed to Command-Tab. Since I couldn't access any control menu items, I wasn't able to...
