I HATE APPLE

It beats bouncing dock icons, imo

I hide my dock most of the time. I use MoofMenu to put a pulldown menu of my most used apps so I can open apps from the menu bar like the good old days.

And I use Mailplane for my gmail, which puts a pulldown menu in the menu bar with an icon that changes color and ads a badge for emails.

I also use iTunes menu so whatever is playing at the time appears in the menu bar.

I only occasionally need to drag a file onto an application folder in the dock.

hate growl x3, but iscrobbler (and some other apps?) insist on it

yah tinygrab uses it and tinygrab is my new fav so

dan i like your style

I still don't under stand why Mac never thought it was a good idea to have a task bar so that you can switch between windows of open programs without havin g to close every window on top or go hunting for the window you want. Also isn't it funny to think as has been pointed out, if you actually filled an ipod classic with music you legally bought , how much you would have spent? HAHa. Also, fuck this shit about being able to read but not write to NTFS!

lol ntfs

how does the apple student discount work when ordering online? do you need an NUS no.? and I presume you can get one on the air (I know you couldn't on the ipad)

you need a university IP.

weird. here you just click the option that says "i'm a student" and it takes you into the educational store. and when i bought something at an actual apple store with my student discount they didn't even check an ID or ask for any confirmation, they just took me at my word.

uk discount is bigger and involves government tax law, so they're a bit stricter

it's pretty easy to get though. i must have bought ten macbooks for friends.

just select 'education store' then 'school or any other education establishment', they never check

ahhh, clever

so if I (or a friend) can order from a uni IP that's sufficient? ie no student matric card check on delivery?

depends on exchange rather, but an education discounted mac is sometimes cheaper in the uk than the us, and it comes with nearly free applecare.

cozen, no. there's never a check once the order is placed in my experience.

"rather" = "rate" (drunk)

uni discount is 15% DG, which is a lot bigger than the 'school etc' discount

cool, thanks. that should be easy enough to sort out.

i take what i can get!

lol not sure I know any students anymore now I come to think of it

do you have an apple store nearby? they should be able to replace it on the spot. just back it up before you go.

I took it to the nearby apple store. They replaced it on the spot. I backed it up before I went. Happy days are here again.

Next question:
I've got Windows Calendar on my PC, which doesn't sync with the iphone. Is it possible to download some software that will sync with the phone (i.e. some kind of appple calendar thing, or will their stuff only work on macs)? Preferably something free, obviously.

I use google calendar.

having said that, i'm on a mac and I think gcal syncs with the apple calendar, which then syncs with my iphone, so maybe thats not a solution.

im sure there some middle ware thingy thatll do the job

You can make Google Calendar sync directly w/iPhone. They have an Exchange server mode, and you'll even get your calendar items pushed to the phone. Pretty smooth.

there's something called nuevasync that I used to use to sync google calendar with ical via exchange mode. I can't remember why that was needed but it was. Now the service costs money and I never look at my calendar mobil-y anyway. Thing was I have an iPod touch, no iphone, and the idea was to sync so I could pull out the ipod and see if I was busy on a certain day.

Google didn't used to have Exchange support. They do now.

Guys microsoft outlook syncs with iPhone, no?
