Just took delivery of a new 15" MBP to replace my 13" MBP running Snow Leopard.

What's the best way to get all my crap from my 13" MBP shifted over? Migration assistant through firewire? What happens to all the stuff on the 13"? I'm giving it to my younger brother and he'd like to keep the music if possible.

Nearly had a loving heart attack.

Downloaded the 10.7.1 update and restarted. Grey screen comes up and I get the startup chime.

Then I get the chime again.

Then the screen goes black and I get "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key"

Panicked for a minute or two until I hard reset and held option to select the drive.

Going through the logistics of how Apple Care would work a million miles from any apple store had me making GBS threads myself.

They send you a box for your computer, and it's sent back after the repairs are done.

Does AppleCare cover internationally as well?

Let's say I lived somewhere miles away, like Kenya. Would they still DHL me a box?

Here's hoping I'm as lucky with this one as I have been in the past

This may be a long shot...

Does anyone know of any flight management software?

I book upwards of 30 flights a month (not for myself) and keeping track of travel dates, pricing, change rules, unused return tickets, etc is becoming a royal pain in my rear end.

Are you locked into using a particular vendor?

I know there are fabulous corporate solutions that I would imagine are probably available publicly as well - maybe even consider using a travel agency.

Not locked down to any specific vendor.

I am using a travel agent right now (3 of them, actually), but it still seems to be tough to get a grip on everything that's going on.

strokevictim: I'm going to try out the TripIt for Business trial. Looks like that would help me quite a bit, cheers.

Is there any way I can embed an image/pdf/whatever as an icon in Excel for Mac 2011?
I know you can do it in Windows with Insert --> Object, but I can't for the life of me figure this out.

Let's say I have 5 email accounts set up in Mail, but I only want 1 or 2 of them to count for the new mail notification thing in the dock. Any way to do this? Or maybe have one account show up as another colour or something?

I just bought Fantastical and I'm loving it so far. One issue though. I have 5 email accounts set up in Mail. How do I set a default account to send mail from when I invite someone to a meeting? I've gone through the preferences and Googled but I can't seem to make this play nice. Seems to just send from whatever account.

I just finally upgraded to Lion the other day and now I am having airport problems. My network is still set as my preferred network and it is set to automatically connect, but when I open and close the lid on my laptop it either A. disconnects from the network and I have to go back to it manually or, B. Stays connected but the internet wont work until I refresh the page 5 or six times. Help?

Edit: also, sometimes it works fine (maybe 10%). I don't get it.

I have a similar problem. I have a 15"MBP (8,2). I installed the updates that it had been bugging me about yesterday. Since then, when I connect to a network it says I'm connected. However, I can't send/receive any data for 40 seconds or so. Safari says I'm not connected to the internet. When I press the network diagnostic button is says everything is a-ok. Did one of the updates break something?

I've run all the updates on my 15"MBP and I'm having WiFi issues. It shows that the airport is connected to my home network, but I don't have a connection. It takes about a minute to actually get any data traffic. When I open Safari, it tells me I'm not connected. If I click Network Diagnostics it says that everything is working.

This reminds me I really need to start watching that show.

That, however, is not the problem. It happens with every network I connect to and it has only been doing it after the update.

adm - I'm not running Little Snitch.

Resetting the SMC worked a charm!
