recently, I've noticed that my 2009 MacBook draws a lot of battery power when it's in standby mode (sleeping with the lid open). I know that they are supposed to sleep for a long time, but when I leave the lid open and it falls asleep, the computer draws battery power even faster than if the computer was being used. Does anyone know what may cause this rapid battery drain?
Thanks

I don't know for sure, but I think that behavior is built-in to the external drive and is not controllable from OS X. You don't say what drive you have, but this sleep behavior seems to be built in to many external drives and enclosures these days.
I have two Firewire 800 externals: a Seagate Freeagent Desk for Mac and a drive in a Rosewill enclosure, and both "spin down" and go to sleep after a few minutes of non-use. Luckily, for the way that I'm using them, that's what I want them to do.
I don't know of any way to change this, but maybe someone else does?

I went from late 2008 > early 2011. Bar the airport issues, it seems a solid upgrade. Not amazingly faster, but FCP and CS5 stuff seems quicker.

It doesn't display the Macintosh HD partition, but does show the drive as a whole. But I can't do any disk repairs or anything of the sort to it.
You might be able to rescue it with either testdisk or DiskWarrior. I've recovered similar problems in the past.

Panther is what sold me on the Mac. I bought my first Mac, the 1Ghz eMac (ATI Graphics) (http://apple-history.com/body.php?page=gallery&model=emac_ati&sort=date&performa=off&order=ASC) about a week later.

I wrote a review about the Synology DS411j a couple of months ago. HERE (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1117716&highlight=411j)is the link. Before I sold my MBP, I had my iMac and MBP both using Time Machine on it. I never had an issue with deletion of files. I had it set to a high quota though, but it never crossed 600GB on the NAS total.
Synology makes smaller NAS units that have the same software as the one I reviewed. They have both a 2-bay and a single bay. Benefit to an extra bay with another drive is that you have redundancy in case one of the drives fails. I also have a USB hard drive attached and it backs up the entire NAS twice a week.

You need to stop using a POP account and switch to either IMAP or Exchange.
POP downloads emails from the inbox, while IMAP and Exchange will sync it.

I believe he is saying that when the scanner is unplugged, the computer will go to sleep, but when it is plugged in, the computer won't. The scanner is the problem, he just doesn't know how to fix it.

1. It's been awhile since I downloaded something from PSN Store but IIRC you can't. It's not that bad though, the bandwidth would be shared meaning that it would take a lot more time to get even one demo downloaded.
2. They are HD and LAN lights. HD light blinks when the HD is accessed (mostly when loading/saving etc) and the LAN light is blinking when gaming online for example. Nothing bad about them.
3. PSN Store is one but most of them are premium so you got to pay. Take a look at various 3rd party themes. Just go to their website with PS3's browser and download a theme. Wallies you can get from anywhere and use e.g. a memory stick to transfer them.

Tnx for sharing! :)
And tnx for highlighting the Dutch team! You really must have been very close to the Russian car incident.... very cool.
I love the idea of country-teams battling it out on the track. I think we're going to have much more fun with this kind of racing opposed to the boring F1 we now know....
I just wish they "upped" the HP a bit: 520 BHP is not alot compared to others.
Too bad I couldn't watch it today (uuhhmm yesterday technically :D ), but I will follow it through the winter! :cool:

Could you not directly connect the two Mac's together with ethernet and then have them use their own Airport cards to connect to a different network? I'm not 100% sure if that would work, but seems like it could. When I need to transfer files to my wife's laptop I often plug it into my Mac Pro via ethernet and transfer the files. Meanwhile, I am still browsing the web on my Mac Pro via our WiFi network. The only difference there is that I'm sharing my internet from Airport to the laptop via ethernet, so I'm not sure if the laptop would still be able to use WiFi separately from the wired connection.

I have a cheap Bytecc external case. (Oxford 911 chipset) It has both firewire and usb2. I put a harddrive in one and a Lite-On DVD burner in the other.
Both work great for windows and mac.

All-
I'm really keen on adding a guide on how to install 3rd party applications on iPhone Firmware 1.1.1. Before now, it was simple (AppTapp was all you needed). But now, with the extra jailbreak step, I don't think anyone has done a very good job of documenting the process and especially making it accessible.
I'd like to create a readable guide. Once we have the guide done, we'll post it on the iPhone blog.
Really, really high level (haven't done the research yet... hoping people who have done it already might be able to help):
-Jailbreak (supply step by step instructions)
-Install AppTapp 3.0 beta

Hi!
Since the new MacBook Airs came out, I fall in love with the combination glossy display+silver bezel. I'd like to replicate the same thing on my 13" MacBook Pro. Do you know if someone is currently selling (like on etsy.com or similar sites) a silver skin for the MacBook pro black bezel?
Thanks for the help,
Luca

Hello,
I need the screensaver to run even when connected to VNC, because the iPads will always be connected even when you re-dock them. I need the screensaver to run after inactivity to 1) show something appealing instead of the last window that was up and 2) to keep the image from burning in (some of the tv's we're doing this with are older plasmas)
Thanks,
Braven Carver

You could try to set up a temporary ad-hoc if you only need to do it once or at least not simultaneously with an internet connectivity option... It gets complicated then. Given that you have a mac there is some software from Apple that allows sharing of optical drives wirelessly. I even think it is built in Snow Leopard.

Who thinks this is going to be a major, major update like some people are saying? With relations going ice cold with Microsoft, and Microsoft not exactly showing much interest in developing future mac apps, do you think the new version of Appleworks is going to be designed to take over for Office on OS X? It's been rumored that Office compatibility is a "major concern."
