The brand of CD's I am using are HP CD-R's. I would think they would be higher quality than most. I will pickup a different brand and try them.

Ok, I tried brand new media (Verbatim) and still get the same error. Does this mean the Superdrive is failed or failing? Thank God for Applecare....

I just got off the phone with Apple. We were able to burn the CD Image via the Finder. He suggested that I resinstall Toast and see if that helps. Is this normal for Toast? If Toas…

Ok, I reinstalled Toast and got same error. I loaded Toast on my iBook and copied the CD with no errors. I also downloaded Discribe just to test the burner and it gave me the same …

I am having fun playing with all the GUIs with ShapeShifter, but I am really interested in changing the font of Finder. How do I do this? I just got ahold of ThemePark, but it is n…

So I was pretty excited to see that FedEx was delivering my MBP today. I kept checking the online tracker and when the delivery was confirmed, I went home to pick it up. Guess I …

Sorry to hear that dude, the same thing happened to me with a 1.67GHz 15-inch Dual-Layer, I simply returned it and will probably buy the Rev B MacBook Pro. At least you have the 2…

I feel for ya man. I bought a brand new Hummer H3 3 weeks ago and just finished the paperwork. I walked out the door to take possession of the vehicle; they could not find the keys…

Quote: did get the H3 I wanted and a full free tank of gas. Which hopefully got you home without running on empty But that seriously sucks on the MacBook.…

Ouch sorry to hear that man I certainly hope everything gets fixed and replaced ASAP!!!

uuuggghhh. I'm SO sorry to hear that man. I went through the same experience when I bought my very first mac back in 2001 (DP800 G4). It kernel panicked on boot. SO sorry man, …

I got my MacBookPro (2.16GHz, 2GB RAM, 100MB 7200rpm drive) this morning and needless to say was tremendously excited. I turned it on, got the chime, and then all hell broke loose;…

Both of these cases seem to be with the 2.16ghz, I wonder if that means anything?

It means that Apple is going to piss off a bunch of Pro-Users this week . . .

Calm down... with anything there is bound to be defects.

indeed, 2 problems shouldn't yield massive panic.

Did you try reinstalling the OS (after running the Hardware Test to see if everything is OK)?

It's common practice to have stock for replacements. They're simply underpromising on the delivery date. My Macbook which is at my house at this moment isn't set to ship for ano…

I went through three iBooks before I was satisfied... lol

Well let's see how well they over-deliver on under-promising. I am in the same boat as SP in terms of how their customer care have bungled the faith of a loyal Mac user.

It's simple. They're waiting to ship the working 2.16s until they can ship mine.
