Anyone here use apple credit and was approved? is it worth it if you can pay it off in 6 months?

btw, unofficial new iphone pics are up

LOL. I got approved for $500 on a saturday night. I said eff this I cant buy what I want with 500. So I went home and called it a night. On monday morning, I called the credit card company and I asked to get a bigger loan. The lady checked my credit and said "You have perfect credit, and your limit is now $2,500. 

 was my reaction. I had to wait like 10 days to get my credit card and now I have a brand new MBP. I have one year to pay it off or else the intrest will kick in. All my money is going torwards this mac now. IM happy.

i purchased slingbox and i have the cables to hook my macbook up to my TV now all i need is sound and i would rather go wireless,,,

if you have an Airport Express, you can use a built in utility called Airtunes. Or, try Airfoil.

can airtunes play all sound or just itunes? i want to be able to play moves on the net with my surround sound

For some reason I can't open up iPhoto anymore. When I click on the icon there's a "?" and I have no idea why that's happening. Anyone else having this problem or know what I can do to fix it?

What programs do you guys use to burn .avi files on to writable DVD discs?

Is there anything else I can do, besides saving up? 

Try Sweetwater.com.  They allow you to make 3 payments on the Macbook. 

have you or anyone used this before?

Google some reviews on the company.  I tried it, but I ended up gettin a 15" MBP from a cat for $800 so it wasn't needed.  Their CS is top notch though.  They definitely go the extra mile.

if you have an xbox360, you can stream movies/music to it using Connect360. There's a PS3 equivalent called MediaLink too.

My 1st gen macbook took a

on me yesterday. I was using it just fine, then i grabbed for it and the screen shuts off like it went to sleep. I couldn't wake it up, so i turned it off and back on again. everything was normal, then i grabed for it again and it does the same thing. Now it wont boot out of this weird state it's in. The screen flickers when you turn it on and the optical drive powers up, but it stays black. No chime though, and the sleep indicator stays lit. I think the logic board failed, but i can't even find my tools to open up the insides. I'm not even working and i don't have money to pay for a new one either

 

[da doc03]

damn GOAT... sorry to hear that bruh.....

I will search the forums periodically for you and see if I can find some information....  good luck homie  




EDIT - looks like it may very well be the logic board.... read through this and see if you can get anything from it.... http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/1146142.html

 

[streetballer23]

Is there anything like visualhub that I can use to turn .avi into DVD files?

I'd recommend an app called Rivet.  I've had a lot more success with it than with Connect 360.

Might need a late pass, but the new MBP's have officially dropped?

I had the same problem with mine. It's the logic board homie. I'm really sorry to say that.

I was price checking them for a 2006 macbook (white kind) and they ran for like $4-600 dollars.

Do you still have insurance? I'm guessing you don't...my only option was to sell my damaged macbook (i got $300 for Parts & Repair)
and buy another one.

Do you guys use anything to protect your computer from Trojans or malware or anything like that?

I know there aren't many viruses for the macs as compared to windows but I figure some protection is always good.

 

[young dunny]

what's the best music tagger? i download Jaikoz Music Tagger but i didn't like it...i want my itunes organized i'm just to lazy to do it manually

 

[nanbeezy]

I've been trying to clear space on my hard drive because it's full? Is deleting files enough? Any how would I go about getting more RAM?

Thanks guys, I have a Macbook BTW

What's a Trojan? What's a virus?

Anyone have any problems with their Airport Extreme/Express when it comes to using it for other Macs/PC's/Video Game Consoles?

I knew I would get at least one smart !@# answer. It's just a question of being safe incase something happens.

It was a joke, I think there's norton antivirus for mac

though, i've had my laptop for 4 years now and haven't run into a problem.

'Preciate it. I didn't mean to come of mad in my last post, forgot to add an 'lol'.

I know most people probably haven't had a problem but I was just curious.
