Hi

When that happens,
1. click on the wireless icon on the Top right of the screen
2. Check if it is connected to your home wireless network
3. If not, select your home wireless network
4. The MBA might have connected to some other
Wireless network to which it has no access right.

Cheers.

Hi my macbookair still function in a funny way.
i must let my wifi on before i can connect to the internet. if i try to diagnose it then the internet will be totally lost or they will off in automatically.
Does macbook air wifi or the airport have common issue that i need to bring down for service?

hi, im using a mac book pro 17inch since 2010. the issue im having now is that the disc drive doesnt 'eat' my disc after i feed it. i cant even insert fully. it gets stuck after i feed about 1/4 of the disc in. what could be the issue here?

and how much would it cost me roughly if i send it for repair? should i send it to apple or should i just go simlim and find some dubious guy and do it for me? which of this you guys recommend??

If you have AppleCare its free. Else prepare to pay a premium wherever you go, even if its to 3rd party shops.

i think it'd be more economic to just buy a usb disk drive.

I want a MBP because of how it looks and the Sony VAIO S appears comparable. Both have metallic casing, about the same specifications (VAIO has a better GFX) and the VAIO weighs 400gm lesser.

For those who has had experience with both laptops. How do you think the Sony VAIO S series laptops compare to the MBP in terms of build?

Use the recovery disc to go into disk utility to erase all content before procedding to reinstall the os (on the basis that your system is Snow Leopard 10.6)

Don't get your question, dual boot your iMac or pc?

 

[Greenstone]

My iMac (late 2009) cannot boot up. Think it's hard disk failure coz disk utilities say cannot repair disk and when I boot from CD it cannot even detect the hard disk. Still under AppleCare, where can send in for repair?
