MacBook Air speaker problem

It seems that I have a bad speaker on my MacBook Air. It's like in the olden days when somebody didn't have the radio right on the station.



I *think* I'm still within the one year warranty, so where do I find the serial number?

LED Flashlights?

So I recently picked up an LED headlight. Very bright beam from 5 LED bulbs, adequate for camping or night biking. Five bulbs, claims to be good for 17 hours battery life (3 alkaline AAAs) on the bright setting. My other LED flashlights are not as bright and I would guess they are good for 2 hours on a set of AAA HD batteries.



To me once the light dims noticeably that is it for the batteries. So is that battery life claim gross exaggeration or is there really that much more power stored in alkaline batteries? Are they simply referring to the time until the light fades completely to black? A snowballs chance in parliament the claim is accurate?

Pages biz card problem

Hi,

Just got a Mac Mini with the newest version of Pages on it. Trying to make new biz cards but ran into this problem: The space between my name and my address on the next line is too big. I can't make the gap smaller like I could do in the previous version of Pages where there was an option, probably in Inspector, where you could narrow the gap between two or more lines of text. Anyone know how to do this in this new version 5.2? It's probably so simple! I've checked the Help and done the Search to no avail.



Thanks,

Mail program, where the BCC?

Got myself a lovely little Mac Mini the other day :D I can't find the BCC field in the Mail program. CC is there but I want the BCC for multiple recipients. I've looked in Prefs and did a Search for it, but it's not there. Or I'm looking in the wrong place. It's version 7.3.



Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Funkynassau

Confused by printer and scanner drivers. What's the pecking order?

I have now had 3 (supposedly) top of the range all-in ones and each one has given me a different headache but mostly on the scanning side. These have been in turn HP, Epson and Canon so everybody looks guilty as charged...



I'll save you the details but it's always the scanner that gives problems: it's typically not seen/not connected, or worse: the scanner doesn't support Twain.



Anyway, my question is about drivers: in most cases when you install the new printer you have the choice between a bloated in-house driver (often 60+ Megs) or a Bonjour/Apple vetted driver that feels like minimum service on a transport strike day. In the case of the current Canon neither works (MX925). So what should one do? Is there a 'roadmap' for trying different drivers. If you go to the Canon page and restrict your search to OS10.9 compatible aps, you still get 2 full pages of downloads, none of which seems to be doing the job.



OK, I know it's a bit of a rant but I'm utterly confused. Why oh why did Apple stop manufacturing printers! Any thoughts?



Thanks

Warranties provided by the law

In Quebec, there are warranties provided by law. Which says that a good must be warrantied for a reasonable lifetime.



Basically, renders almost useless any extended warranties beyond 1yr manufacture's warranty.



Are there such things in other provinces? Has anybody tried to apply the law on anything?
