Hard drives are made to last as long as the warranty these days… like most everything else. If your drive has a three year warranty, the likelihood of it working the full 3 years is very near 100%. That percentage will fall at an unknown rate after the warranty period ends. Your drive may last 5 years, or more, or it may die shortly after the three years are up. The longer it goes, the greater chance of failure.

So, along with death and taxes, you can add hard drive failure to the only things you can depend on happening. All drives fail. The trick is to replace them before they fail, AND to have a good backup so if you miss the trick, you can restore your data to a new drive.

One of the best articles on the subject I’ve yet found is a new post on Barkings – The Small Dog Apple Blog. If you want to know a bit more about your drive, how and why it works, and how and why it can fail, this is where to go.

Prevent fried MacBooks, and expensive repairs

I’ve had a couple of clients fry their MacBooks/Macbook Pros by having them wake from sleep in their laptop bag. This was expensive, and preventable, but only if the user is aware of the issue.

I’ve carried my laptops in sleep mode around the world since I bought a PowerBook 140 back in 1991. Never had a problem, as long as the lid stayed closed.

It turns out that these clients had bluetooth mice and/or keyboards in the bag with them, turned on. Pressure on the mouse or keyboard can cause a Mac laptop to wake from sleep… if the Bluetooth preferences are set for it.

It’s convenient to be able to wake your MacBook on your desktop with an external keyboard or mouse, but a great idea to turn the preference off when traveling.

Open System Preferences (Apple Menu -> System Preferences) and click on the Bluetooth pane, in the Internet and wireless section.

Then click on the Advanced button in the Bluetooth Preferences, and uncheck the “Allow Bluetooth Devices to wake this computer” checkbox.

If the lid of your MacBook/Pro is shut, the computer is asleep, and can’t be woken by bluetooth or other activity, you can be confident that you won’t fry your expensive tool… or toy, depending.

If you have an iPad, or for that matter an iPhone, iPod or even a laptop, Mac or not, you could be burning through your battery’s lifespan quicker than you need to.

Apple recommends running the battery charge down to zero once a month, then fully recharging the battery. This advice is good for all Li-ion batteries.

Lithium ion battery life extension

Lithium Ion batteries are a bit picky about how they operate. They have a finite lifespan, and after a few years usually only have a fraction of their original capacity, but factors like operating temperature, how the battery is used, how long it is plugged in, and charge cycling can make a difference in the battery’s lifespan.

One of the worst things for your Li-ion battery is to run it completely out of charge all the time. Full discharges are hard on the battery, and it’s best to run your battery down to no lower than 20% capacity. This is the most sustainable scenario, in general. Li-ion batteries do not have a “memory” issue, like older batteries did, so there is no reason not to plug the charger in before the battery is flat.

Once a month or so , completely discharge the battery, and completely recharge it. This “conditions” the battery, and also ensures that the time estimate for discharge will be more accurate.

These batteries are “smart”, in that they can count discharge cycles. These cycles are counted based on a 100% discharge, summed up over multiple sessions, so if you discharge your battery to 30% today and charge back to 100%, tomorrow discharge it to 70%, that is one cycle of the battery. That’s why lesser discharges are better for longer Li-ion battery life.

Keeping the battery charged up all the time isn’t a good idea, though. These batteries can’t be overcharged, but they will lose capacity if plugged in all the time. Best practice is to let the battery run down to 80% capacity or so before plugging it in.

Heat kills, particularly in laptop usage. Cell phones used on a very hot day can also have battery problems, because running at elevated temperatures reduces capacity. Usually there’s not much to be done about the problem, but if you stay away from high-temperature scenarios such as direct sunlight, attics, etc, or extreme cold environments, you’ll have longer battery life.

Battery storage for long periods is best done at about half charge, in a cool place. A refrigerator is about as cool as you should go… a wine cellar-like environment is perfect. Just don’t put it in the freezer!

None of these tips will make a huge difference in your battery life. They are not immortal, but good usage practices will extend the life and the capacity, making your device more useable for a longer period.

Lots of new goodies announced by apple today, including a completely revised MacBook Air line, iLife ’11, and FaceTime (still in beta) allowing video chat between a Mac running FaceTime and an IOS device that is FaceTime capabable.

MacBook Air

4 Models, 2 sizes comprise the new line, all with flash-storage, solid state internal drives rather than hard drives. They have a Core 2 Duo processor with 13.3″ (1440×900 pixel) or 11.6″ (1366×768) displays.

The 11 inch MacBook Air weighs in at 2.3 lbs (1.06kg) and measures .11 inch high at the front, .68″ at the back (0.3-1.7cm), 11.8″ wide (29.95cm) and 7.56″ (19.2cm) deep. The 13: ‘Air has the same height, but is 12.8″ (32.5cm) wide and 8.94″ (22.7cm) deep, and weighs in at a not-so-hefty 2.9 lbs (1.32kg).

Both come with 2 USB 2.0 ports (one on each side), a Mini DisplayPort, MagSafe power connector, headphone and mic ports. The 13″ ‘Air also has an SD card port.

The 11″ has a 1.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 3MB shared L2 cache, with an optional 1.6GHz processor available, with an 800MHz fronside bus. Memory options are 2GB (standard) or a 4GB upgrade option. Drive options are 64 GB or 128GB.

The 13″ comes with a 1.86GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 6MB L2 cache, offering an optional upgrade to a 2.13GH processor. It comes with a 1066MHz frontside bus, and the same memory options as the 11″. DRives offered are 128 GB and 256GB.

The advertised battery life is up to 5 hours of wireless productivity, with up to 30 days standby time on the 11″ (35 wat-hour, 45W MagSafe Power Adapter) while the 13″ will do up to 7 hours wireless productivity, the same standby time, and uses a 50 watt-hour, 45W MagSafe adapter.

Both ‘Air’s graphics are provided by an NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics processor with 256MB RAM shared with main memory. Dual display and video mirroring are built in, and support resolution up to 2560×1600 on an external display (while using full native res. on the built-in display) at millions of colors.

The wireless capability and Bluetooth are the same as on the MacBook/Pro lines, and the ‘Air comes with a FaceTime camera, so video chats are basically built-in to the MacBook Air line.

Neither will be rockets, but should be more than adequate for the travelling user they’re designed for. Prices range from $999 to $1,599 for the standard line.

iLife ’11

Free with new Macs, iLife ’11 is priced at $49 retail, which makes it a “deal of the Century” in my opinion. It does more, and better, than any other option for photos, movies and music in the price range.

iPhoto ’11 has new full screen modes for browsing, editing and showcasing photos. Sharing is easy, via email, facebook or slideshows. It has new features for creating books and cards as well.

iMovie ’11 has a Trailer creation feature, so you can create trailers for your home movies using 15 thems from Adventure to Romantic Comedy, with soundtracks and graphics to match. Audio level tools and new visual effects will allow more sophisticated movie editing. People Finder will analyze your videos and mark selections with faces, and iMovie ’11 has new themes for you to make your videos more like professional news or sports shows.

GarageBand ’11 has a couple of new tools for changing the timing of music recordings. Flex Time allows you to move, stretch or shorten individual notes without affecting the rest of the recording, and Groove Matching lets you select any track as the “Groove Track”, and all other tracks will match it’s rythm. GB ’11 also adds 7 new guitar amps, new effects and 22 new Basic Lessons for piano and guitar, with a new “How did I Play” feature that listens when you play a lesson and highlights mistakes and tracks your progress.

iLife ’1 requires OS X 10.6.3 or later, Macs with Intel processors, 1GB RAM, a DVD drive (for installation) and 5 GB of disk space. A family pack including 5 licenses is available for $79, in addition to the individual license.

FiceTime for Mac

A public beta of FaceTime for Mac is available, a new application that allows Mac users to video call iPhone 4 and iPod Touch users as well as other Mac users. Using Address Book contacts and the built-in mic and camera on Mac portables, iMacs and Apple LED dosplays, the new app allows video chats, and video phone calls.

Mid-2010 iMac

The new Mid-2010 iMacs are out, and they are pretty wonderful. the backlit displays are brilliantly sharp, and are powered by upgraded graphic cards. They have faster processors, too.

They also feature Hyper-Threading and in the case of the i5 abd 57 processor models, Turbo Boost.

The Intel Xeon processors support Hyper-Threading, which allows two threads to run simultaneously on each core. So, for example, a 12-core Mac Pro presents 24 virtual cores that are recognized by Mac OS X. Performance is enhanced because Hyper-Threading enables the processor to take better advantage of the execution resources available in each core.

Turbo Boost is a dynamic performance technology that automatically boosts the processor clock speed based on workload. If you’re using an application that doesn’t need every core, Turbo Boost increases the speed of the active ones, up to 3.33GHz on a 12-core Mac Pro, and up to 3.6GHz on a 6-core system.

The 21.5″ models come with 3.06GHz and 3.2GHz both with Intel Core i3 processors and supporting Hyper-Threading, and a 3.6GHz with Intel Core i5 supporting Hyper-Threading and Turbo Boost. Both have 4MB level 3 cache.

The 27″ models come with 3.2GHz Intel Core i3 process with Hyper-Threading, 3.6GHz Intel Core i5 with Hyper-Threading and Turbo Boost, with 4MB level 3 cache. Top of the line 27″ iMacs are available with the Quad-Core 2.8GHz Intel Core i5 or 2.93GHz Intel Core i7, both with 8MB level 3 cache and of course, supporting Hyper-Threading and Turbo Boost.

All models come with 4GB RAM, and support up to 16GB. Hard drives options are 500GB (21.5″ only) or 1TB (2TB optional) and an optional 256GB solid-state drive for the 27″ version.

CAUTION: I toured DriveSavers today, and much to my surprise, learned that solid-state drives are experiencing high failure rates and after 6 months or so are not nearly as fast as they are new. More on this in another post. If you have questions, contact me.

Graphics processors for the 21.5″ iMacs are ATI Radeon HD 4670 with 256MB of GDDR3 memory or ATI Radeon HD 5670 with 512MB. The 27″ with the 13 or 15 processors use the ATI Radeon HD 5670 with 512MB while the Quad-Core i7 uses the ATI Radeon HD 5750 with 1GB of GDDR5 memory, making it a serious tool for designers, photographers, etc.

Details on the new iMacs can be found on Apple’s page.

Mid-2010 Mac Pro

Lots of improvements on the Mac Pro, but since it’s a more specialized machine, I’ll let the tech details go for the most part. You can find ‘em here, but I will say that the graphic capabilities are amazing, the processors are very fast, the architecture has been upgraded and memory is supported up to 32GB on dual-processor systems. This is an amazing machine!

Magic Trackpad

The new Magic Trackpad gives desktop users the Multi-Touch features that only newer MacBook Pro owners have had to date. Replacing the mouse, the Magic Trackpad is like the MBP in everything but size… it’s 80% bigger. The entire surface is a clickable button, and it’s the same design as the Wireless Keyboard, same angle, heights, etc. It’s Bluetooth, like the Wireless Keyboard.

You can even buy an Apple Battery Charger with 6 high-performance AA NiMH batteries to keep your keyboard and trackpad charged up, without wasting energy or fouling the environment by throwing away regular batteries. At $29, it’s not a bad del, since it draws much less electricity than the average charger.

Bigger Picture, anyone?

Oh, and there’s a new 27″ LED Cinema Display, too. With built-in iSight camera and mike, 178° viewing angle, and a cable that combines the MagSafe connector, USB and of course the Mini DisplayPort connectors. The 27″ Cinema Display has 3 USB 2.0 ports to add to your choices, and a 49 watt speaker system.

It also features an ambient light sensor, so if you’re working in a bright room, you’ll have perfect brightness. When the sun goes down, you’ll still have perfect brightness. Great feature, in my opinion.

The LED Cinema Display also is adjustable from -5 to 25 degrees via a smooth-motion hinge.

If this doesn’t whet your appetite for Mac hardware… nothing will.

Apple just announced the new Mac Mini, with new features:

• An aluminum unibody enclosure
• Up to twice the graphics performance
• Industry-leading energy efficiency
• An HDMI port and SD card slot

The HDMI port will make the new Mini a very interesting solution for Home Theater installations.

Basic configurations are:

• 2.4GHz with 2GB RAM, a 320GB internal drive, SuperDrive, NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics, Mac OS X Snow Leopard for $699.00
• 266GHz (With Snow Leopard Server), 4GB RAM, Dual 500 GB internal drives, NVIDIA GeForce 320M Graphics, Mac OS X Server Snow Leopard for $999.00

Build-to-Order options include a faster processor (to 2.66 GHz), more memory (to 8GB), a larger drive (to 500GB). It can be ordered with software preinstalled, and Apple would love to sell you a stunning Apple Display to go along with it.

The Mini has been a great solution for years, now it looks even better. What really excites me is the easy access to install RAM without prying open the top case. This makes it easy to add memory if you need to, down the road. The lack of easy RAM addition was the primary flaw in the previous Minis, in my mind.

Apple released the new, updated MacBook portables this week, with a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo processor, and the Nvidia new GeForce 320M graphics card.

Battery life is now listed at 10 hours, a radical improvement from the 7 hours the previous model boasted.

The MacBook ships with 2 GB RAM (expandable to 4GB), a 250GB internal drive (up to 500 GB available with custom configuration) and a double-layer SuperDrive (CD and DVD burner)

The previous generation of MacBook had a 2.26 GHz Core 2 Duo CPU combined with the Nvidia GeForce 9400M graphics card.

The MacBook looks the same as the previous model, with a white polycarbonate unibody and 13.3 inch display, and costs the same, $999. For external monitor or projector connection use the same Mini DisplayPort adapters.

This is a great choice for students, of course. It’s also an excellent choice for anyone who needs a laptop and won’t be pushing the limits with music production, high-end image manipulation or video production. I use an older MacBook as a diagnostic and repair tool, in place of the MacBook Pro I bought for the purpose. It has all the power and capacity I need, and the size and price are great.

More and more external drives are offered with a USB 2.0 interface only, without FireWire. Even MacBooks are sold without a FireWire interface. PCs hardly ever have FireWire avaialble.

Why should we care?

FireWire is a transfer method designed for data transfer. USB was originally designed for device control. That doesn’t matter so much any more, and USB 2.0 at a theoretical 480 Mbps bandwidth would seem to compete well with FireWire 400 (400Mbps) if not FireWire 800 (800Mbps).

What about real-world data transfer? Does USB really move your files as fast as FireWire?

No.

Macworld did some testing, using a MacBook Pro (2.4 GHz 17″, 160 GB 5400RPM drive, 2GB RAM, Mac OS X 10.6.2) and a 2TB Western Digital My Book Studio drive, copying a 1GB file from the WD to the internal drive on the MB Pro.

FireWire 400 was 23% faster. Duplicating the same file on the WD drive took 10% less time with FireWire 400 over USB. Copying a 2.5GB folder with 5000 files, FireWire 400 26% faster.

Macworld used AJA’s System Test application and found the MBP’s FireWire 400 connection was 46% faster in writing tests, but 9% slower in reading tests.

They then used the same WD drive, connected to a Mac Pro (3GHz 8-core, 250 GB 7200RPM internal drive, 2GB RAM, Mac OS X 10.6.2).

The FireWire 400 connection was 19% faster than USB on the copy test, 21% faster on the duplication and the copy 5000 files tests, and the same results for the AJA read and write tests as the MBPro.

The FireWire 800 cconnection on the Mac Pro tested at 48% faster copying the 1 GB file to the WD external, 54% faster duping the file, and 49% faster copying the folder with 5000 files. The AJA write tests resulted in the 800 connection twice as fast writing as the USB connection, and 49% faster reading.

They then tested using a Verbatim portable drive, with similar results. The article includes a table with all test results.

The conclusion is that FireWire is absolutely superior in transfer speed. This will change when USB 3.0 comes into effect early next year, promising to beat FireWire and eSATA transfer speeds. It will be a while before you see USB 3.0 in new Macs, tho, and those of us with older Macs still will find FireWire a better choice when transfer speed is important.

One thing not mentioned in the article: FireWire and Target Mode is the single most effective for troubleshooting and repairing issues on Macs. I can connect to a Mac in Target Mode, using my MacBook Pro, and run diagnostic/repair software that otherwise would be run from a DVD. The processes are time-consuming, which means $$ out of pocket for my clients, but are 3-5 times faster using Target Mode, rather than booting the problem Mac from a DVD and doing the same processes from there.

I can deliver a lot more bang for the buck using FireWire. If Macs lose this capability, it will cost Mac users more, in the long run.

Apple has posted a few software and firmware updates, which address issues with airport not able to turn off or on, and drive noise with optical drives. The updates should be available through Software Update, so be sure to check there.

Apple AirPort Client Update 2009-002

This update fixes a problem we reported on a little while ago where people were unable to turn off airport if it was on, or turn it on if it was off. This affected Snow Leopard users, and while some workarounds helped a few people, this update is needed to fully address the issue.

This update also fixes problems with network loss when using “Wake on Demand” features, and the inability to create computer-to-computer networks and share internet connections. The update is 12.95MB in size.

MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 1.8

This update is for MacBook Pro 5,1 and 5,2 computers (Late 2008, Early 2009 MacBook Pros) and addresses an issue where the optical drive makes noise when waking from sleep or starting up.

Be sure to apply the SuperDrive Firmware Update 3.0 (below) after installing this update.

MacBook EFI Firmware Update 1.4

This update is for MacBook 5,1 and 5,2 computers (Early and Mid 2009) and addresses the optical drive noises in these non-pro systems. As with the MacBook Pro update, this will require you to install the SuperDrive Firmware Update 3.0 after installing. I wonder who the mysterious person “Glenno” is, who is mentioned in the KB article about this firmware update.

Glenno has a nice suggestion…

SuperDrive Firmware Update 3.0

This updates the drive's firmware to address the noise issue, as long as the computer's firmware is of the appropriate version. The update requires OS 10.5.7 or later, and is 18.35MB in size. More information on the update and how to apply it can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3744
