I just share my library, have always done since I first used iTunes and had wifi.. you could always drag and drop stuff that was imported and not purchased from iTunes, dead handy though, I have my full 159gb music library available on my notebook when at home just need to find a way of doing it through the net when I'm not a home, that would be sweetness right there...

You couldn't do it before could you? Drag and drop in the previous versions.

I guys Yesterday I got my MacBook Pro 13”. This is my first Mac. So I’ve some few questions. If anybody answer those, then it’ll be very helpful to me.

It’s come with Snow Leopard on one single partition.
From my previous experience, I’ve learnt that, OS and personal data put in a single partition is not a good idea. If I need to clean install the OS then I’ve to format the full partition and then my other data will be lost. So it’s better to have separate partitions, if I’ll have to format the OS partition then others partition and their data will be intact.

So is it ok to have few partitions on OS-X? Like C: D: E: in Windows?

My hard disk is 250GB so I’ve plane to divide it into 3 parts. 1st one is for OS. 2nd one and 3rd one are for others staff. So I have to do it while I clean install the OS. What file format should I use for them? Do I have to mount them to specific name?

this happened to me once, took it to apple care and they told me to pop in the install disk into the superdrive and reinstall os x, i however was stupid enough to jam both the install disc and windows disc into my superdrive, the superdrives fine but my install disk did not work, so I HAD TO BUY A NEW COPY OF OS X (argh!) but i have a happy macbook pro 13 now

Bloody hell @phopnecrzy! Could just keep a backup of it, for times like that! I've got an image stored on my external drive.

Hey Mac lovers. I have a question. A couple of hours when I got home I took out my Mac and started surfing the web. Nothing unusual just the everyday stuff. After 30 minutes I noticed that the Mac is really really got on the below side. Even the left side of the keyboard was warm but the DOWN side of the laptop was really hot, not like sometimes when it's just a bit warm. Anyone has any idea what could of coused that? If that happens what should I do? Before when that happened I shuted down the Mac and let it chill a bit.

What's the normal temperature for a MacBook?

Posted by themarques
If its a macbook pro, then its basically the aluminium that is conducting the heat and making you think its running hot. Basically when you could worry is when you hear the fans running on full power then you know the sensors are saying the temp has reached a certain point.

Sometimes this can happen when an application is not responding, I tend to find that normally is Safari so a good think to keep in your dock is Activity Monitor. (Go to Applications, Utilities to find it) Once open if your machine is running the fans at full power you should be able to see the culprit and the QUIT PROCESS (RED BUTTON at top) and thats it your machine will return to normal.

Enjoy your mac.

Bit of an old thread but hey its going back to the top.

Getting a new MBP to replace my old one, only a 13inch this time but im wondering what is the best way for me to transfer all my files/music?

If i remember correctly there is an option when you first boot to transfer over from another mac or something but if i do that will i get EVERYTHING transfered? There are a lot of programs and other s%!t i dont use or need?

Any suggestions?

Mac OSX Lion Sneak Peak
We took our best thinking from Mac OS X and brought it to the iPhone. Then we took our best thinking from the iPhone and brought it to iPad. And now we’re bringing it all back to the Mac with our eighth major release of the world’s most advanced operating system. Mac OS X Lion arrives in summer 2011. Here’s a sneak peek at just a few of its features.

The Mac App Store. Coming soon to a Mac near you
Introducing the best place to discover and buy new apps made just for Mac, right on a Mac. Just like shopping the App Store on iPad, the Mac App Store offers endless possibilities to browse and purchase apps. And it simplifies the way you install apps on the Mac. Just click once, and your new app is downloaded, installed, and ready to go.

Launchpad. A home for your apps
The Launchpad gives you instant access to your apps — iPad style. Just click the Launchpad icon in your Dock. Your open windows fade away, replaced by an elegant, full-screen display of all the apps on your Mac. It takes just a swipe to see multiple pages of apps, and you can arrange apps any way you like by dragging an app icon to a new location or by grouping apps in folders. Downloaded an app from the App Store? Your new app automatically appears on the Launchpad, ready to blast off.

Full-screen apps. A better way to enjoy the apps you love
On iPad, every app is displayed full screen, with no distractions, and there’s one easy way to get back to all your other apps. Mac OS X Lion does the same for your desktop. You can bring an app to full screen with one click, switch to another full-screen app with a swipe of the trackpad, and swipe back to the desktop to access your multi-window apps. And systemwide support for full-screen apps makes them bigger and more immersive. So you can concentrate on every detail of your work, or play on a grander scale than ever before.

Mission Control. Mac command central
Mission Control is a powerful and handy new feature that provides you with a comprehensive view of what’s running on your Mac. It gives you a bird’s-eye view of everything — including Exposé, Spaces, Dashboard, and full-screen apps— all in one place. With a simple swipe gesture, your desktop zooms out to Mission Control. There you can see your open windows grouped by app, thumbnails of your full-screen apps, Dashboard, and even other Spaces, arranged in a unified view. And you can get to anything you see on Mission Control with just one click. Making you the master of all you survey.

You'll be fine you'll just need to authorise your new Mac for any purchased content. Do this from the store option in the menu bar.

Would definitely recommend the PlayBook, had a play with it (pun intended ) during MobileWorldCongress and it was snappy and pretty neat. Plus in the summer, you'll be able to run Android apps on it!
