funky_house Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 See http://www.macrumors.com/2010/10/16/both-13-inch-and-11-inch-macbook-air-models-next-week/Only a rumour, but could be two new MacBook Airs next week. 11 and 13 inch. If its true I think I'll be getting one... Cult of Mac weighs in with claims from a new source regarding the new MacBook Air that has been receiving considerable attention in the days leading up to Apple's media event on Wednesday. The new report corroborates many of the claims coming from other sources, but also offers a few new details on what we might expect in the new machine. - Battery life rumored to be 8-10 hours, up from 5 in the current MacBook Air. - Thinner and lighter form factor with fewer curves. - Two USB ports, SD card slot, straight-style MagSafe, Mini DisplayPort. - Base model with 2 GB of RAM, but upgradeable. SSD also upgradeable. - NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics. - Unconfirmed CPU claims of 2.1 GHz and 2.4 GHz options, but no claim of a specific processor family is offered. - Suggestion of $999 for 11.6-inch model and $1100 for the 13.3-inch model, but Cult of Mac believes something like $1100/$1400 to be more likely. If this is true, so will I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beej Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 The difference between the models is very little though, and I wonder if a 11 inch screen will just be too small? Think I'll wait to see it in person before picking one up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been trying to figure this crap out for the past hour. It's a piece of piss... once you verify the email you want to use your good to go.. Once the address book appears on the right, click on the email of your friend and make the call (as long as they have verified their own email). Your standard apple address book will activate in facetime. Remember, you can do anything without an Apple ID Or just use Skype like any ******* sane person..

Bruce551 Posted October 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Applejack for Snow Leopard is here. APPLEJACK README AppleJack is a shell script intended to assist you in trouble-shooting startup problems in Mac OS X. In many situations it can help resurrect an apparently dead system by cleaning up the mess left by system crashes: disk directory errors, buggy caches, corrupted preferences, etc. AppleJack is designed to be run only in single user mode. Running this script while logged in as a user can crash your operating system (especially if you use it to delete the system's virtual memory or cache files), which would be more than a little bit counterproductive, since we're out to solve problems, not cause them. Macs don't have problems very offen, when your Mac not running right, run Applejack. Reboot and hold Command & S keys (single user mode) Download from here. http://sourceforge.net/projects/applejack/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeusbheld Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 any advantage to applejack vs onyx? as far as i recall they do basically the same thing: run stuff you'd have to run from the command line. i finally upgraded to Snow Kitty and i'm rebuilding brick by brick and updating software. current futilities package: onyx disk warrior idefrag will be adding tech tool for hardware checks. anyone suggest anything else worth adding or will this do it?

Bruce551 Posted October 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 If for some reason your Mac will not load OS, applejack will boot up (single user mode) before OS and run harddisk check, file permissions, clear virtual memory, clear caches and check for corrupted preferences.
