Bring it down to the service centre and the technician will test the battery in front of you using a tool. The result will be instant and is comprehensive to everyone. If the result yielded a positive for battery failure, they will change for you.

It all depends on the tool.

Boot Camp Control Panel. It's in your system tray beside the clock. Use the Startup Preferences to change default boot.

You can reboot to Mac and change it from System Preferences > Startup Disk too. It's the same.

just to check. anyone using the aztech homeplug hl 110w? am wondering if i can use it like apple's airport express?

some hotels overseas provide free wired internet access but not wireless and i have the iphone so am hoping this homeplug can function like the airport express. can also use for ipad in the future..

can i just bring the plug, plug the ethernet cable in and surf wirelessly?

Hey guys! Any of you know how to use iChat for MSN Messenger? As in I can see all my contacts, IM, webcam chat with my friends on MSN Messenger using iChat?

One more question, Mail does not allow me to log in. I get "Cannot Get Mail. The user name or password for "pop3.live.com" is incorrect." However, this is not so because when I launch Safari on my MacBook, I go to hotmail.com and use the exact same email add and password and I can log in without any problems. Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

Thanks guys!

Also in Boot Camp Control Panel, under Trackpad. Check your system tray. Enable "Tap to click".

You can request a friend from US to send you the song as gift using his/her account.

You can register your Applecare anytime within your 1year product warranty period.

 

[BiteApple]

yah applecare can be register anytime during your first year original warranty period.

Even if you register late after your first yr, apple will still allows u to extend the warranty if you call and fax them the official purchase receipt with the date showing its purchase date during the 1st yr warranty period

As mentioned by other users, you can register AppleCare anytime within the original first year of warranty. Check your warranty expiry date using Apple's website here:

Since you've already bought it, you might as well register it less you forget.
