Do you have Lion?
yea I do. 
It's a known issue in Lion, happens to me every day. Theres a couple of quick fixes but nothing permanent, you'll have to wait until Apple releases an update

na it's not to make it louder...it's enhanced EQ settings based on the audio output and the genre of music you're listening to.

When I first got my macbook, it was over a year ago and it had slow wifi connections but through ethernet, I have no problems whatsoever.

Thanks man. Now what is the best torrent client for Macs? uTorrent?

It feels so weird going from a power user in Windows to being a complete newb on Macs. I keep telling my self the learning curve is going to be worth it.

Apple have great online tutorials. You should setup an appointment to go into the Apple store. They offer free classes/sessions.
Anyhow, it depends on what kind of GUI client you like.  Most Mac users I know used uTorrent.  I use Bittorrent.

You can also use this one: (http://wakaba.c3.cx/s/apps/unarchiver.html)
Which has everything. 


What is the main difference between the two? What are the pros and cons?

Yeah there is an Apple Store near me and I signed up for the intro to Mac workshop. I know it won't be too bad trying to learn something new. I consider my self to be very computer savy and can usually just figure stuff out by looking and asking in the right places.

I use uTorrent on my Windows PC and never had a problem with it. I really like how it carries such a small footprint compared to Azureus from back in the day.



    
 
I just got a MB Pro today and the bottom seems to get hot within 5 minutes of using the computer. Is that normal? I upgraded the ram to 8gb from 4.

If you can't fry an egg on your MBP after a few minutes of heavy use it's broken

. It's completely normal as far as I know. Get SMC fan control just in case.
 
Someone help?

I bought "Watch the Throne" yesterday & every time I insert in into my MacBook, it keep ejecting. What can I do to fix this or is album not able to be inserted into computers?

FYI, Blank CD's work fine.

PO

Both are excellent. 
Just the Unarchiver not only unrars files but also unzips zip files as well. So instead of having two different apps to perform 2 different things, you can have one app to perform both.

Thinking about getting the 21.5 inch iMac that's 1500. Then upgrading the memory to 16gb.

Will this be sufficient in handling, hd video editing, protools, and such? I'm just being careful.
