Have you tried Brasso (or any such equivalent)?
It's a fine abrasive metal (but works fine on plastic) polishing compound, that should, with a little time and patience, polish out the scratches, I used it to buff out rather large scratches on the Apple logo on the side of an old Power Mac G3 years ago, and it works a treat, removed all traces of 1-2mm deep, 5cm long scratches and left the logo with an absolutely perfect shine.
Just make sure the plastic is of the coloured and not the painted type though, otherwise you'll just polish off the colour. ;)

Hi, i accidently format one part of my HD to exfat, and now can't read it, the thing was, when i formatted it into exFAT, i was able to use it and move my data into my HD, but now, the HD doesn't even appear on my Mac, just wondering if there is a way i can copy all my data without trying to find a compatible windows machine, i do have windows 7 on my mac tho, if it helps.

However.. I just don't see how anything Apple comes out with.. if ever.. can EVER LIVE UP TO ALL THIS HYPE!!
No kidding. Remember when the iPod was introduced? So many people were disappointed and it didn't get half the hype the iPhone is getting. I can't wait to read the forums once they announce a white RAZR with an apple logo.

I recently changed jobs and no longer need a laptop so I'm looking at selling this. It has Applecare and is in perfect condition. No dead pixels, etc...I'd like to get $1300 shipped for this but am open to offers if that's way off. It's hard to tell what these are worth now.

Hey guys,
So... I put the battery back into my computer, connected it to a power supply, andddd... *drum roll*... nothing. Nada. It won't turn on. The light for the power supply isn't on, as if it doesn't register that it's plugged into a computer. The battery shows 5 lights when the little button is pressed, but I guess that doesn't matter.
So I decided I might as well crack her open and have a look to see if I can find any moisture or obvious signs of breakage. My warranty is already up (plus massive water damage would void it) so I can get away with opening it up without any repercussions.
I followed an online guide, took up the keyboard... and it was filthy. Everything was covered in a thick layer of dust, plus a lot of accumulated fluff beneath all of the keys and in lots of the crevices.

So I cleaned most of it very gently with some clean non-fluffy cotton buds and tweezers. I put it all back together and tried it once more - but no, no difference.
I'm going to take it into an Apple Store to see if they can tell me what's wrong with it (other than a faulty fan, maybe?)

Week 1: Read Python; familiarize self with scripting language semantics/syntax
Week 2-4: Learn PHP; obviously begin with what you learned from Python and build from there. Start to look at object-oriented PHP materials.
Week 5: Begin SQL query writing; queries aren't so difficult if you know your PHP material well. The better at coding you are, the better your query writing will be.
Eventually, you'll want to get into content management systems and MVC frameworks - this, outside of object oriented programming, is the biggest mountain to climb, but it is well worth it in the long run as all of your hard work will pay off. These two things will take a long time to learn so don't fret if you don't understand it all from the very beginning.
Also, like someone else said, make sure your design is consistent across different browsers. Since you are learning, you're probably looking at a lot of divs and what not. Divs are nifty, but browsers don't agree with them 90% of the time. This means grabbing a copy of Windows, downloading Internet Explorer 6, 7, 8, and 9 to make sure everything looks correct. This is one of every designer/developers biggest complaints and why Internet Explorer is hated beyond words.
I don't really think that you need Python, it's nice to have another language but to be honest learning another language at an early stage can cause confusion and besides good PHP tutorials should teach you everything you need.
I picked up "PHP with MySQL Essential Training (http://www.lynda.com/PHP-tutorials/php-with-mysql-essential-training/435-2.html)' from lynda.com and found them an extremely useful starting point they begin with the raw basics and have you build a super simple CMS, you may have to go through the videos a couple of times to understand it but its well worth the effort.
As for making your sites cross-browser... yes you should make sure that everything works in at least IE7, but IE6 is old and complies with so few standards that even youtube doesn't support it any more. Unless you'll be want to develop enterprise level sites then you can really just leave it alone.

Completely painless upgrade thanks to Pkgbakup and Dropbox. Now to see if claimed battery improvements are real :rolleyes:
No doubt. I was updated and back to normal in just a few minutes.
Battery life seems better but I'll need a few days to really run it through the paces.

vollspacken,
I'm with you, I'm also frustrated at the lack of a compelling price-performance ratio in the Apple portable line right now. I have the same opinion as you in that I don't really need DVD-R, just a better value and maybe a better video card and bluetooth. $3200 for an 800MHz laptop? They're not getting that from me, that's for sure. I'd also consider the 14inch iBook, but paying $1800 for a laptop that has the absolute minimum video card to run the current OS, and cannot be upgraded, is a veto. It seems that something good is on the horizon, and we just need to be patient. It looks like it'll be January.
Evidence points to the possibility that they had planned to get updates in the last few weeks: certain promotions running out, pulling all refurbs off the site, and that it had been 8 mos since the last update (typical upgrade time). But it appears that something went wrong and they had to delay, thus refurbs are back and new promos in place (2x RAM, new monitor promo, Office suite) to tide us over until the new stuff comes out in January.
But at least then, the new ones SHOULD be comparatively compelling, and there just may be a cool new monitor to get as well.

Start with the normal stuff.... zap pram/nvram, reinstall OS X, then call AppleCare.
And repairing permissions, slightly less drastic than an OS install.

Hey all, new to the forums, but no stranger to macs (Long time Logic Pro user at college/uni)
I recently ordered an iMac 20" (isight), and got the shipment notification the other day, and on the 14th Dec, it was in Cork...
Anyone in the UK have a mac that got sent via Cork? How long did it take? Also, anyone know how I can track stuff with Flextronics/Express Cargo? The apple tracking isn't showing any locations etc for the packages sent with them... :(
Any responses much appreciated
Ben

I tried getting a Job at the Metro centre one (had to do the interview thing at Eldon Square though)
Didnt get it :( (I am hoping it was down to no previous experience before hand... because if it was because I as a person wasnt what they were looking for that makes it even worse lol)I tried for both, didn't get either. Anyway I think it was because I knew too much about Apple. Apple now tend to get people who know nothing or next to nothing for the shop floor, but get people who know everything for the specialists.
