puzzle
I'm completely puzzled. We moved our modem into another room and weren't able to get wireless connections upstairs anymore..I thought, My macbook pro doesn't get a signal, my husband's macbook has no trouble. Same network setup in both computers. Anyone any ideas? Fixes? I've have Macbook Pro 2.12 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo 3 GB 667 MHz DDr 2 SDRAM My husband's is Macbook 1.83 GH Intel Core 2 Duo 2GB 667 DDr2 2 sdram Rosemary Horton rosemary.hor...@gmail.com -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au
MacBook Pro - turns off without warning when no AC
My Intel Core 2 Duo 17 MacBook Pro, when unplugged from an AC power supply, will turn off without any warning when the battery runs down to what seems to be a point where the laptop should still be running on battery power. It's just happened to me again, and upon connecting the MacBook Pro to an AC power supply and restarting, the battery indicator was over 30%. I've heard of resetting PMUs before, but from what I can gather that seems to apply more to PowerBooks (eg. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1431?viewlocale=en_US ). This forum http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=509314 indicates a similar problem to mine, and suggests a dud battery. The machine I have is within the extended 3-year warranty period, though it seems that the extended warranty doesn't apply to batteries. Any other suggestions before I resign to what is looking like purchase of another battery? In case it makes any difference, my Mac is connected to an AC power supply about 95% of the time.

Installing a font into Entourage
Hi All Using iMac OSX vers10.4.11. Can anyone please tell me how I can install a particular font (that is sitting in my Hard drive - Library - Fonts) into Entourage. I want to use it in my emails. But will I then have the problem of it not being accepted by other people's email programmes (it is an unusual font)?

Re: puzzle
Hi Rosemary, Is ther a difference in the amount of metal versus plastic in the MacBook and MacBook Pro cases? Generally speaking, plastic won't interefere with wireless reception while metal casing will actually block the signal, and this means reception is more finicky when the signal is weak. It sounds like the new location of your modem is problematic. Steel and metal objects in your home could be a particular problem.

Re: Installing a font into Entourage
generally selected fonts appear in the receivers letter only if they are in the system of the receivers computer, you may have to 'activate' your new font to get it visible (can you use it in other word processing apps?) with fontbook you can activate or put aside... hope this helps James On 06/02/2009, at 18:33, Denise Williams wrote: Hi All Using iMac OSX vers10.4.11.

Re: MacBook Pro - turns off without warning when no AC
Hi Steven, You're right that PMU applies to PowerPC hardware only. For Intels, it's SMC (System Management Controller), so search for that instead. Battery Calibration can be a problem -- if the battery cannot guage its capacity properly then you will have premature cut-outs. You can re-calibrate the battery by following the instructions in your hardware User Guide (I think the rule of thumb is once per month to be on the safe side over the life of the battery).

Re: MacBook Pro - turns off without warning when no AC
Steve, This is a very common problem. There's heaps to try: Calibrate battery (as James said): http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh2339.html Battery Firmware update: http://support.apple.com/downloads/Battery_Update_1_2 (depending on your model) See if you qualify for new battery: http://www.apple.com/au/support/macbook_macbookpro/batteryupdate/ Check battery for bulging - Read this WAMUG thread from 29 Jan 09: MacBook Pro Battery Warning (finished one) This list is probably not exhaustive.

Re: Safari faulure
Hi Tom, I have had issues with Safari for over a year now. It crashes on startup everytime. I have upgraded to the latest version, deleted every preference I could find that had the word safari in it, reset the permissions, all to no avail. Firefox is now my browser of choice, it also has more useful plugins anyway. Regards, Eugene On 07/02/2009, at 2:24 PM, Tom Hogarth wrote: Anyone help on this one ( am i missing something?)
