I know one of you can help me out

I have this app that controls the fan and tells you the temp. of the computer...think that would help by any chance?...

If so, heres the dl link: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/23049

i wouldn't mess with the fan. if it's speed is obviously going up is because the computer is working harder. i wouldn't risk the chance of overheating simply just to reduce a little fan noise. u can always just wear some headphones to block it out. just my 2 cents though

I know this is a really simple question but how do I delete programs off my MBP, such as Garage Band?

just drag it into the trash can. but i believe somebody has posted a program that looks for anything affiliated with the program and deletes it.

Is it really that simple, I don't have to go to any type of "control panel" like XP? I have another problem my Safari does not handle GIFs well.It does not run smooth when a GIF is posted.

 

[cwrite78]

yeah it's that easy. and i've never had problems with safari. i don't really like firefox because it's a resource hog and it takes forever toopen.

I use AppZapper, its really easy to use. Just drag the app and it will automatically all other files related to the app. It's only like $12 but its worthit.

Can it be how much the RAM the game uses? I have 2gb of RAM and when i try to play a game it uses mostly all of it.

Welcome...
check out http://www.deviantart.com/ for the images.

Edit: download an app called candybar, then use that program to replace the app images. There is a way you can do it manually, but i dont know it.

3 copy the little image in the top left corner and paste over the app's little image in the top left corner
4 voila

I've done a little bit of research so far and have heard of Senuti andpodtomac.com. Anybody ever try those programs? Also, I really want to make sure i don't lose my apps cause i got like 7 pages worth of em. Any input isappreciated. Thanks!

Senuti for the music, and I'm pretty sure you can use iTunes and iPhoto to get the rest of the data to your computer.

are you on a wireless connection?

 

[rawk on]

I have wireless for my laptop, but that was on my desktop. I don't get why it just showed up or if it's even a bad thing.
