Updated and my screen dims after a few minutes now. I went to check the energy settings preferences and he item wasn't checked and on top of that, my computer doesn't sleep unless I manually do it. Hmm this doesn't effect me at all but I find it wierd.

My Macbook Pro has always dimmed even though the energy settings preferences wasn't checked. Whenever I reboot, I go in and check/uncheck it again and it works until the next reboot.
 
Okay so I dont want to sound like a Noobie... But I read a while back before the SR chips shipped out in the MBP units the 10.4.10 update would contain support for the SR... Has anyone noticed performance increase at all with the SR? Also are people having Kernal problems after the update?:apple:

I think it did. On Power PC it was around 22Mb, on intel around 50Mb and specifically on SR someone said before it was around 80Mb; so some things must have been different.

Hm... Now that you mention it, I've got this issue too with my rev. C MBP.
 
Was this here before? :confused:

well look at this logic, if leopard was released on schedule and we got it this month it would of been what the beta is, so go an undisclosed website and get an undisclosed file and receive another undisclosed file and get what should of been ours this month... being that you will actually BUY it in oct
 
im new to mac so...

when leopard comes out, can you just instal it through software update, or is a separate disk necessary?

thanks

Since Leopard is a separate product, you'll need to order it either online or through a retail location like a local Apple Store. The box will include one or more install disks that you'll use to upgrade your Mac to Leopard.
 
I am sure this has been asked a lot before - Apologies

Should I install the 'patch' or the 'combo'?
 
WRONG! Look in the taskbar...its just like you CAN just pull out a drive from OSX, but you risk the same dangers in both OSs...
Thumb drives are set by Windows to be "write immediate" devices. It doesn't cache read/write operations and execute them later like it may with a hard drive. So as long as you've closed all apps and aren't doing any file copies or opening folders on the drive, things should be fine.

There's no reason OSX can't do this.
