Dead Macbook Pro

xun — Mon, 25 Apr 2011 00:58:07 +0000

Things unpredictable happened now and then. One Saturday evening, my 3 years old Macbook Pro decided not to wake up from her sleep. Cause of death has not yet been discovered but the medical officer thought it might be either her visual system or the nerve system.

Luckily, her heart is still in good condition, and if there is no hope for her to recover, we can still make use of the heart.

p.s: If the problem is her logic board (so called motherboard for PC), the price going to spike up to thousands.

p.s: If the problem is her graphic card (because mine was from a problematic batch), I hope I can fix it for free, or just for a small amount.

In case nothing can be done, rest in peace my dear.

Snow Leopard Changes And Improvements

xun — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 21:53:14 +0000

It has been a week since my upgrade to Snow Leopard and I would like to share my experience poking around with this new Mac OS X. Some of them has been repeatedly reported by other, while some of the refreshment were not focused. So, today I would like to focus on the minor changes but huge improvement made by Apple for Snow Leopard.

On the arrival of Snow Leopard, Apple worked so hard in the pushing the industry to start utilising 64 bit application. Today, System Preferences by default will run in 64 bit architecture and if you want to access any 32 bit app, you will be informed to restart the app in 32 bit.

Upgrading From Leopard 10.5.8 To Snow Leopard Using Pendrive or Hard Disk

xun — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 03:43:04 +0000

I bet those Apple users out there are craving to death on upgrading their machine box to Apple latest Mac OS X, codename Snow Leopard. You might have sneaking all over the web, reading about Snow Leopard and its reviews. Now, you decided that you want to continue upgrading you current Mac OS X version with Snow Leopard. Here, I’ll try my best to guide you upgrading from Leopard to Snow Leopard using External Storage, instead of the DVD itself.

The reason why I’m using an external drive and not the DVD is because the reading speed of these two medium. A DVD can be read up around 10 Mbps (8x speed) while s0me usb drive can go up to 30 Mbps and an external hard drive has a speed up to 480 Mbps with USB 2.0. However, this is just an another installation technique and not compulsory.

Cut it short, I’m back from my Outward Bound School, in Lumut, under PETRONAS yearly course. For the mean time, SARAH (my Macbook Pro) is not in good position and still under maintainence at Machinces Gardens. To date, I have 200+ feeds to read and catch up, and some albums to be done. Therefore, I shall update the blog later on, when I’m free and able to pour out my experience at Lumut.

Burning Disc Failed : Hardware or Software?

xun — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 21:17:41 +0000

Screenshot of the error Burn Failed Alert

Apparently, few weeks back, I can’t burn any DVD using my built-in SuperDrive burner. It kept showing the “Error code 0x8002006E“, and luckily it did not break the disc, even though the burning process failed. But, this is very annoying because I can’t backup anything to my DVD, such as my collections of Japanese Drama Series, or even my Full Series of Heroes, season 3. However, the drive can read any disc successfully, it just can’t write to DVD as I manage to create CDs from my iTunes This is such a very bad thing, as CD only accommodate 700Mb, while DVD can loads up to 4.7Gb.

Having using a Mac for 5 months, will lead you to several applications that were supposed to help you with your work productivity.

Ok, I will list down my favourite applications :

Hehehe. Sian jak kitak orang, sik dapat luncur-luncur macam kamek . But, still we do have fun playing ice-skating. Weeeee…
