#411544

@pe8er: how would you back up your personal data/settings to transfert to another Mac? I mean things like ichat settings, your address book, mail boxes etc...

#411549

There are two ways:

1) when you're setting it up, OS X asks whether you want to transfer settings/files from an old Mac;

2) There's Migration Assistant app in /Applications/Utilities/, which does the same thing.

In both cases you will need Firewire cable to connect computers. I've done it a few times so far and I admit that it works perfectly. When I transfered all my data from Mac mini to iMac and rebooted the latter, everything looked and worked 100% like on my old mini.

BTW I know a person who recently got a Macbook but I can't tell you who is it :o:O:O:O:O

When time comes, mr XXX will reveal his identity. I don't want to steal this from him ;)

For god's sake, it's him! :D Petey's got a new macbook! now show us ze pics!

Actually no gents, that'd be me :D. I see my old nickname of Mr. XXX is back!

Anyway, I seem to be typing this on a 2.0 ghZ white Macbook. How odd. :P

I bought 2GB of ram for my black MacBook. 512 was really not that great but now I can really tell a difference. it's much faster than my PowerBook. absolutely love it.

i think most of yall who have posted have been confused... this is the "I GOT apple hardware" thread, not the "I'm about to get", "My hardware is shipping", or "I upgraded my shit" threads... its cool to hear yall are expecting new stuff, but this isnt the place...

I got Apple hardware!

At wednesday my MacBook arrived after nearly 2 weeks of waiting. It´s great (2GHz, 1GB, white). And of course, I installed Windows via BootCamp and of course I installed Flyakite, taskbar addons, MacSearch etc etc etc for the perfect Mac OS X-look.

It really took nearly two weeks because it came directly from Taiwan (!) because of the 1GB RAM (standard 512MB). Next time I´ll move to my Apple Store and buy there. But I´ve got an iPod nano 2GB for only 24 EUR (30 $) with the students offer.

Under Windows I miss the "delete"-key and some other keys are missing on an Apple-keyboard.

OK, I only wanted to report that I also got Apple hardware!!!

#413750

AFAIK you get delete key by pressing fn+backspace. Both in Windows and OS X.

#413752

mail from apple store says...on the way me old skip!
