I'm new to mac and recently got a mba. I got problem loading flash video anywhere from youtube to other video streaming website.

No matter what browser i use(safari, firefox) the video load for 2+min and stopped. It just show loading and loading... I have to click on the progress bar to next few sec to start playing the video again or refresh the webpage.

The funny thing is every time i refresh the page it will show that the video is completely loaded before refreshing. Somehow i think the video is already downloaded but just stop playing and show that it is loading non stop.

Really need help here because this is making video watching impossible

Could be the problem, MBA does not come shipped with flash.

Hello!!

Does anyone know where can I get affordable repairs for my macbook pro screen??

I replaced the screen after cracking it once, but the new screen seems to be falling out. I brought it back to the shop twice to fix it, but it doesn't seem to be helping

Folder permission , you need to boot camp in to change the permission.

i have an MBP and a WinXP pc at home. i tried the file sharing tutorial in apple's faq/tutorial page. however the file transfer is very slow.. more than 10min for <100mb file. I am using a linksys wrt54gs router in G band.

Is there any settings that i can change to increase the data transfer speed?

thanks

Hello guys!

I guess this would be the best place to ask my doubts rather than creating another thread.

Which service center should I go, to service my mbp as I still have apple care?

Ok i got this 09' mbp which serve me well which i bought this year from a bro in hwz, however, my trackpad cannot physically click down now but the functions of it is still well, like strolling is still fine.
Another problem is the battery status is "service battery". Battery life run about 1 and 1/2 hours per 99% charge.

Will the applecare cover the replacement of battery, or 'service' the battery?

Thanks in advance guys!

 

[blues7]

Sounds like need to replace battery

U bought your MacBook Pro at bargain price?

If not, maybe refurbished mbp better deal?

Curious, nowadays macs doesn't comes off with a physical state form of a CD.
So how does one need to reinstall ? Need to purchase from the Mac Apps Store? Not liking this new method.

internet restore ? OS X Lion thumb drive ? purchase from Mac App store and restore it in a thumb drive for future install ?

 

[slogd3ad]

so basically i still need to buy the installer in the end?
internet restore, how is it done?
Restart > Recovery HD > Utilities > Reinstall Lion > Trying to purchase from Apps Store .
That's how the sequence looks like, correct me if i'm wrong. Still need to purchase from the App Store.

Hmm...

Just to check, does all new mac preloaded with Lion?
I happen to be in a shop, and with proof of the sticker that is new Mac..however, inside is preloaded only with SL, and they do a immediate upgrade to Lion via USB. Is it supposed to be that way?

Not too sure about the rest but my Dec 2011 MBP came with Lion default.

Yes, new Macs are all supposed to come pre-loaded with Lion.
