      @gbougard:

      One thing I'd love for Apple to enable is the ability to add audio files received as email attachments in iphones or ipads to the itunes library. as it is now, one can listen to attachments but not download them and add them to the itunes library. I think that's fucking annoying and dont understand why it is possible in macs and not ipads or iphones.

      The fact that there are now aps like Audio Bus available, which allows for routing of audio between different aps, along with all the virtual synthesisers, drum machines, samplers etc does make the lack of this basic feature seem pretty odd.

        Does any one know why some times on my mbpr when I close the lid then reopen the screen stays black or some times freezers?

            Am I correct in assuming there's no fix for the lock button not working on my iPhone?

              If its been less than a year just make an appointment and they'll swap you one. Frustratingly, I've probably done this at least 5 times over the iPhones I've had.

                By lock button are you referring to the push button on the top of the phone?

                  Yeah, the button on top is "stuck". Too late to trade in with the warranty

                    I did figure out a way to put a button on my screen that will allow me to lock it but the button gets in the way of texting, emailing a lot

                      ok guys!
                      back to the MacBook Pro / Air discussion…I'm offered a MBP 13.3" for ~750USD incl. Magic Mouse!

                      sounds good to me eh!?

                        I'd suggest the 13" MBA with 256GB SSD. Should set you back almost the same $ but will run 2-3x faster than the MBP.

                          I'd also give the trackpad a chance. To me Apple has obsolesced the mouse, the trackpad is so much more powerful if you use the gestures.

                          Think it, be it.

                            The MBA or MBP debate really depends what you're going to need it for. If its going to be your only home machine then I would go MBP all day long, just for the not having to buy peripherals, future flexibility FTW!

                              Never felt 'locked-in' on my MBA. Thunderbolt enables external HDD's to work @ faster than an internal MBP speed. My 2011 MBA runs faster than my late-2012 MBP due to it's internal SSD.

                              The lightweight/small form of the Air makes it stupidly portable, I take it places without thinking.

                              MBA is almost 1KG lighter than the MBP.

                              From a future flexibility PoV, the current MBP's don't have 802.11ac, which is the up-coming wireless standard. Not such a big issue today, but in 1-2 years you'll want that 802.11ac chipset, and it won't exist on the MBP, and you can't add it later on…That alone would almost make me go MBA. Then add the SSD's, then add the weight, MBA 🙂

                                  thanks for the feedback guys…almost a bit too much tech. talk right there tbh. 😃
                                  two years from now I don't think I'll still work with the same machine tbh. so not having that wireless feature is totally fine with me...

                                  here are the stats of the MBP:
                                  13", 2.26GHz Core 2 Duo, 2GB, 250GB HDD

                                  not sure if they're different from the one you were talking about snowy, so bear with me mate 🙂

                                    Don't buy that. You can get a MUCH better new/refurb Mac for $100+ more than that one.
                                    Go to this site and compare macs.
                                    http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-comparison-chart/?compare=all-macs

                                    Check the "geekbench" scores(higher the better). I'm not an expert but basically geekbench is a test app to see how well computers perform in certain tasks. It helps you see the differences in processors/ram/types of HDDs/etc.

                                    That computer you got offered scores pretty low compared to even this refurbished MBA

                                    To give you an idea of their value over time, I'm actually selling my 15" MBP 2.0 8gb i7 (two years old) pretty soon and I should be able to get $1000-1200 because of all the upgrades and shit.

                                        Finn, that's still not a very good deal mate.

                                        Urb's call on the Refurbs is sound, down that option/path I suggest;

                                        http://store.apple.com/us/product/G0ND2LL/A/refurbished-macbook-air-20ghz-dual-core-intel-core-i7 Which is the same price as a lower spec model listed below brand new. This refub is THE ONE I would get. It's 30% off list, the newest chipset, kitted out SSD.

                                        rMBP or MBA RRP, below's what I'd get, either or, just depends if you have a few extra floating around.

                                          thanks a lot urb and snowman for opening my eyes 🙂
                                          gonna pass on the deal then…he has too much money anyways 😉

                                          think i'm going for either one of the two options you've presented me wade...thanks lad, much appreciated!

                                            I would just like to second the call for an SSD. The most noticeable difference to performance for many users I think.

                                            Just be sure to get one that's big enough - they fill up fast.
