Seriously, the MBP only gets "hot" when the AC is plugged in, Mostly on the left upper side where the speaker and the bottom where the battery is. But it makes sense to be hot ther…

Recent software update?

Actually, I clean-installed OSX 10.4 as I had additional HD. It did not work. I upgraded to 10.4.5. Did not work, either. I also upgraded Airport Extreme Driver 2005-001. still di…

Try uninstalling the card and restarting the computer, then reinstalling the card. PC card power is often controlled by the computer; the computer may have "forgotten" about the c…

Thanks for your reply. But, that's what I did in the first place. And 300 times after that. You are right that it looks like the computer have forgotten the card exists. But, at t…

Not to hijack your thread as I have not done the lid closed thing, but.... It takes my HD at least 12 and up to 20 seconds to spin down after the lid is closed. What is up with th…

I think I answered my own question. Apparently you can't used the closed-lid mode on battery. I plugged it in and it seems to be working fine now. Daniel: Same here. Yet another o…

Is it the power profile you have selected or does closed-lid mode not work period when not connected to AC power?

Trying to use a Powerbook in lid closed mode using only the battery will not work and the computer will go to sleep. So it's not surprise that the MBP also does this. Having the …

my powerbook goes to sleep with the lid closed and with the power plugged in still. its been happening for like the last 2 days sporadically. it will work fine for a few hours, th…

Faulty power connector? Faulty charger? Does the plug fit snug?

Is there a way to disable 'safe sleep'? Or is it a built in feature?

I have a black Belkin Flip cover that i like. It works nicely, just do not drop the ipod when the flap is open

Sucks. I wish I had gotten a skin for my old 3G. Now I have a new black 5G and I'm babying that thing like none other until the Contour Showcase for 30GB ships.

I prefer the Speck ToughSkin. Those thin skins just don't do it for me. I had a rubber skin from another company and it also didn't sit flush on my iPod video.
