Default Re: MacBook FYI

How does Hulu work on your macbook? Ever since I upgraded to the new one with Leopard, Hulu sucks on the macbook. It's not a network issue either, as both of my other computers work fine. Apparently it's a pretty common problem that apple hasn't addressed if you check their forums.

Not in this case.
Mac sleep problems are very well documented as an issue.
Quite a few number of possible fixes and not all work.
I wonder how many of them were actually caused by iLife '08 and they were going nuts trying to fix via updates to Leopard.

Just check out this page for starters.

I'm still using the default settings that came on the macbook...

I am capable to click a link on hulu, so it's not me. Plus, my other laptop, and my desktop that are both windows machines run it perfectly.

Hey, look at all the Carlos in the world.

Amazing how many of us there are.

Bottom line:
Can't cover the sun with a thumb.
It is still there.

Not what Mac lovers want to hear but reality.

On positive note, did get my RAM installed and working fine.
Love it.

Oh, and my iPhone? Pixels missing from the screen, showing up in blue rather than the color of the image? I think I will Google that one next to see how many Carlos there are. The one they replaced it with is charm.

OMG!!!

Go figure.
More Carlos in the world with the iPhone pixel problems.
Wow.
I am not the missing link after all.

Seems I just happen to be a magnet for anything that can go bad on an Apple device.
I should be their tester.

I know you said iLife '09 seems to have fixed the sleep problems, but out of curiosity, did you add, or more specifically, change the RAM about the same time?

I added iLife '09 about a week earlier than the RAM and noticed the change then, almost immediately after adding the program.
Could have also been an update and never noticed it but I have occasionally tested the sleep and was never OK.
I recall exactly when iMovie got hung up on me a few times early on when I tried to transfer my movies and had to force quit it.
After that, the sleep problems started. Even after re-loading the recover cd, still wouldn't sleep.
I can really say I narrowed it down to iMovie.
