The new Macbooks (and Pro) look surprisingly bad!

Seriously? I think they look stunning.

@Sunny: Are you saying your dad is trying to open up excel files on Office for Mac, but failing? And then you say you are gonna buy office again? In any case, xlsx files open up just fine in Office for Mac 2008.

See ,he has iWork installed on his iMac which fails to open the Excel files made in windows.
My question is that,will MS Office for Mac be able to open those files made in Windows?

Songs not adding to Itunes library

I'm trying to add some songs to my iTunes library, but it's just not working. I've never had any issues before. It's not even giving me an error message, it's simply not adding them.

The songs are MP3 format, I'm using iTunes 8, and my OS is XP SP3.

I've tried file>add folder, file>add file, and I've tried dragging them onto the library. There are no other songs sharing the same file name. The songs play from beginning to end just fine in WMP.

Has anyone experienced this problem before or can any of you suggest a work-around?

Thanks

Duh! Numbers is a 1.0 release and is definitely not ready for working with excel files. Office 2008 it is then.

I've had that problem with certain mp3 files. its a certain metadata that itunes can't deal with that's making the music not playable/addable in itunes. if you have some third party software, erase all the id3 tags on it and then try adding to itunes.

The iStore guy says that they offer only software support. They asked my friend (who took my MacBook to iStore) to get the original Mac OS DVD and pay 500/- and they will install Mac!! I took it as a joke..

Anyways I purchased a 250GB hard drive for my MacBook and a 160GB external Hard drive to be used with Time Machine

Tomorrow is the time to build my Mac from scratch!! Wish me luck guys.. I have learnt the hard way and this time I am not gonna compromise on my data....

Hopefully my next post will be from my MacBook.... its adieus until then.

Hey guys,I am not being able to set up speech recogonition.In Vista it just worked but in Leapord I have no clue at all how to get that damn thing working.Any help?

 

[goobimama]

Had tried out Speech Recognition a while back. Worked just fine. Although I don't think it can be used as a dictation tool, only for commands like close window, open so and so application, stuff like that. You enable speech recognition in the speech preference pane, and then hold escape every time you say something. If you don't want the Esc thing, you have to set that option in the preferences.

I'd suggest you use MacSpeech Dictate if you want to seriously use speech recognition. Supposed to be good. Just that I'm not too comfortable speaking to my computer.

 

[SunnyChahal]

Vista has that feature and it works very well.Apple goota work on this in Snow Leopard.

 

[dinesh72]

I've bought airport express to connect to my already set up wireless network using TC. I don't see my airport express anywhere in the system. It just flashes amber light and nothing. It is well within the range of TC. I want to use airport express to play airtunes and to extend the range of my wireless network in the other room. I've selected 802 n(b&G compatible)

Problem solved.
Thanks
