[MacBook] Apple Music

 

A bit off topic, but not completely. I'm considering building an Apple-based
system to serve music to my home stereo. There are lots of suggestions, but
few user experiences. Any recommendations? I'm open to buying the components
needed to make this happen, but have a limitation in that my Internet
service is ATT&T U-Verse.

Thanks for any comments or recommendations,

Re: [MacBook] Macbook Pro (2008) Unibody HD upgradeable?

 

Okay thanks I get full of the bottom cover once, but had a friend help me. The screws are really small, so it's a maybe as for doing it myself.

That's nothing compared to the time I swapped out a bad drive for a friend's iBook, which spanned 14 pages of guide.

I'd prefer to do it myself, which would require an external SATA enclosure for the current drive. SATA-USB2 cases are very inexpensive. On the other hand, I have experience doing this. If you aren't comfortable with the process, skip it. (This one looks perfect for beginners, however. No cables involved.) Note that you'll need a Torx T6 screwdriver.. I don't even have one of those. I guess T8 and T9 are old school now.

Would a vendor do the transfer for you? You'd need to ask the vendor.

Problem is I'm down to 12gb on this 160gb drive. I'm going to see what I can delete besides media in iTunes, but I think that's the biggest reason for my drive being full so I'm not hopeful. Thanks in advance.

Ron,

Take a look here

I reset the SMC on mine and that solved the problem.

[MacBook] Re: 11" MBA Fan - general

 

Does the Air even have a fan? Since it has a solid state drive, does it need one?

[MacBook] 11" MBA Fan - general

 

Just got an 11" MBA, 128G/4G version. No issues with fan, but I looked in the on-line manual and I see no tab for 'fan'. Any general info anyone can pass along, much appreciated. Purchased this down here in Chile, thus the on-line manual in English. Mine of course came with the Spanish version, can read and understand but obviously wanted the thing in English.

Thanks,

Ron D.
