When you turn Spotlight off for the disk, it makes a file to tell it not to index that. And that file takes up just enough space that you can't image an system install disk to it. Grrrr.

Still is a pisser that it takes up space on a tiny disk, just trying to tell it not to take up space.

obviously, this bugs me.
even though titanium is soft enough to bend that much when i drop it, i'm having no luck bending it back into place (maybe i'm not using the right tool??)
obv this isn't covered by applecare, since they don't cover "accident". any way i can trick them into fixing it??

So as it stands, I’m out $400 (which as a poor college student, I’d like back)
If you can't afford to be out $400 (+ the price of whatever laptop you'll replace that one with) you are not budgetting proper.

Turns out all I have to do is bring my receipt to the Apple Store, they'll do a 1:1 exchange and add whatever iPod I want to the receipt so I can get a rebate.

i've googled and found tons of problems with macbook pro airport stuff, but they all seem to happen straight out of the box, and don't seem to involve the wireless connection appearing to stay valid. hopefully this is just something really stupid...

DNS servers - no, will do so. weirdly i noticed that my fixed IP address has changed, which seems really weird.
related, hopefully easier q: my first idea for a workaround was to connect via an ethernet cable. on xp, this would just work - you plug in and go. nothing happened on my mac, though! what do i need to do to use ethernet with the router?
― toby (tsg20), Thursday, 13 July 2006 07:20 (seventeen years ago) link
Try doing this for the ethernet interface when connecting with the cable and see what address the Mac picks up and if you can get to the management page.
