What is wrong with Apple?

Do you use Google Chrome? Chrome triggers this glitch the most, although it occurs rarely in other applications.

If Chrome is the only app that triggers the app, do you think its more likely the application and not the OS?

Is this just a problem for people who upgraded to lion? My mbp came with lion and I don't notice any of those issues apart from the bootcamp one because I don't use it.

and your #1 and 6 are the same thing.

No, MBP came with SL and I later upgraded to Lion with no issues...

2. When I fullscreen an application why does my external monitor become useless?

Mine doesn't. Set the external monitor as the main monitor when plugged in. Your full screen apps will then go full screen on your external monitor instead of on the internal display.

Chrome works fine, no graphic glitches, on my 2010 MacBook Air. Doesn't the 13" MacBook Pro have the same nVidia GPU ?

When I initially upgraded to 10.6, (SL) there were some annoying glitches with Lightroom & PS, and went back to Leo. After 6 months or so of revisions, all was well.

I'm really not in the mood to bother with 10.7, as things are working fine. As far as the Windows/Bootcamp flash drive problem, I cannot help you.

What I have found, an example:

1. A 1.5Gb file takes 5-6 minutes to copy to a flash drive on my 2011 MBP.
2 Same file/same flash drive takes less than a minute on my PC.

Firewire 800 on the new, 2011 MBP is slower than FW400 on an C2D MBP.

Then my laptop's display becomes useless... You can also drag a window to the external monitor and fullscreen the window and you get the same effect...

Well,

#1 is the fact that the drivers are glitchy, #6 was supposed to be that the drivers are slower than Linux or Windows OpenGL drivers.

1. Graphics drivers are completely broken, major graphical glitches and this has not been acknowledged by Apple at all. How can they get away with releasing something so broken and not even bothering to fix it? 3 updates later there is no fix.

I wish people would stop saying this ********. The graphics drivers are evidently absolutely fine otherwise we'd have more of a backlash than one bitter person on an Internet forum.

What glitches are you drivelling on about?

I am very sorry to hear all of this. Trying to speak objectively here- it sounds like the problems you are having are abnormal. Set up a genius bar appointment and list all of the problems you are having.

Macbook Airs can create a bootable windows install usb stick from Boot camp with a Windows ISO.

Macbook Pros (have optical drive) cannot do this for some arbitrary reason.

You don't find out about this kind of nonsense unless you actually try to do things.

So you are trying to burn (for lack of a better word) a Windows 7 installation ISO onto a USB drive?

I did exactly that with Disk Utility on my 2009 MBP. I know people have had problems getting it to work, and there are plenty of alternate solutions on this forum. (e.g. third party apps)

I couldn't use it to install from though. I had to use a Vista install disk I had, and then used the USB to install Windows 7 from inside the Windows Vista Boot Camp installation I did.

As far as creating the installation drive, it is possible. Just not through Boot Camp.
