I found the following guide on how to open the MacBook, and followed it precisely until step number 12:

[ad code=1 align=left]

http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repair/Installing-MacBook-Core-2-Duo-AirPort-Card/519/1

From step 12, it was all about figuring out how clean the fan and heat sink. In order to do so, the fan had to be removed from its location.

The above image shows how to do it. The two screws (marked with circles) must be removed, and the tape (marked with rectangles) must be loosened. Finally the fan can be snapped out of its connector. Removing the fan revealed quite an amount of dust beween the fan and the heat sink, and the fan itself was also covered with dust.  To clean the fan and heat sink I use cotton buds and a vacuum cleaner (be carefull using the vacuum cleaner on the motherboard). I believe the blowing compressed air on the part will be a more safe method to remove dust than the vacuum cleaner.

UPDATE: This is a complete guide on how to remove the MacBook fan: MacBook Core 2 Duo Fan Removal. From this point you can jump to my conclusion in the bottom.

Conclusion:
After assembling my MacBook again, I found that the fan is run less that before my little operation, and also not as loud as before. It is not as soundless as when the MacBook was all new, but anyway I can recommend doing the effort of cleaning the fan and heat sink.

2. Manual Eject Stuck CD/DVD from a Mac (MacBook)

Software versions:

• Boot Camp 3.0 (Mac OS X Snow Leopard)
• Windows 7

Doing a little search, I found the following solution on how to fix the problem.

Update: Apple has made a support article on the issue: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3173

Solution (step by step from the beginning):

1. Run Boot Camp Assistant from Mac OS X Snow Leopard (Applications -> Utilities)
2. Create a partition for the Windows installation using Boot Camp Assistant
3. Plugin your install disc and install Windows 7
4. The system will reboot a couple of times during the installation
5. The problem: The second time the system reboots, you the see the Windows red-green-blue-yellow animated logo, and then the screen goes black and hangs infinitely.
6. Press and hold the power button on your iMac until it shuts down.
7. Start the iMac again holding “alt” key, so you can select and load Max OS X Snow Leopard again.
8. Run any application that let you work with NTFS partitions (e.g. Paragon NTFS for Mac OS X or MacFuse)
9. Find the file “C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ATIKMDAG.SYS” on your BOOTCAMP partition, and simply delete it.
10. Restart you iMac, and boot up Windows 7
11. Now Windows 7 should boot normally
12. Run update windows utility and install Boot Camp drivers from the Mac OS X install disc

Then I got this error, namely “The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved”:

But I did not like the idea of formatting my hard drive due to fix the issue, and make Boot Camp work. However, I found an other solution to the problem, namely installing tool to defragment the hard drive. Defragmentation is not something you usually do on a Mac, but here it came in handy. I found these two tool to do the trick:

• iDefrag (I used this)

• Drive Genius

What the tools basically do, is that they are able to moved the files, which for some reason is blocking the Boot Camp Partitioning.

Elgato EyeTV Hybrid

EyeTV Hybrid is an all-in-one TV USB stick for your Mac, including DVB-T, DVB-C, Analog TV & FM-Radio tuner. Even though it is quite small, it contains a full-size and built-in coaxial plug and does not require an adapter to connect cable or an aerial. The EyeTV Hybrid also comes with a composite (RCA) and S-Video break-out cable to connect a variety of devices to your Mac, such as a set top box for premium channels and satellite, a VCR, or a Camcorder.

EyeTV Hybrid can record digital TV in the  full quality digital content as encoded by the broadcaster. The included EyeTV 3 software lets you watch and timeshift live television on your Mac. Record, subscribe to TV series, and create Smart Playlists. Edit unwanted content and send your favorites to iTunes to sync automatically. Recordings can be share over a local network with other Macs and accessing them on an iPod or iPhone via Wi-Fi.

Product site: Elgato EyeTV Hybrid

Additionally I can recommend a couple of application to make the experience of the Elgato EyeTV Hybrid even better.

Remote Buddy

A powerful remote control solution for the Mac, that lets you control the EyeTV, any many other applications with Apple Remote, iPhone, or iPod Touch. With this application you can put the EyeTV Remote in the drawer, and only use the Apple Remote or iPhone as remote.

Product site: Remote Buddy

Aurora

Aurora lets you wake up your Mac in the morning or any other time, and fortunately it has support for EyeTV. Aurora can play both EyeTV TV and radio channels, this is quite nice if you like to wake up to some morning news or like as I do.

Product site: Aurora

XBMC / Plex

XBMC or Plex (build on XBMC) is only related to the EyeTV in sense of making your Mac a better media center. They both have a visually appealing user interface that provides instant access to your media. They can play a wide range of video, audio and photo formats as well as online streaming audio and video. The real power of these applications are found in its library features, I especially like that it can automatically retrieve movie metadata from IMDb; imagery, description, rating etc. Whether to select XBMC or Plex might be a subjective matter.

Product sites: XBMC or Plex

From MacWorld.com:

In iTunes 8.1, the Party Shuffle feature introduced in April 2004 has been rechristened iTunes DJ. While this feature has been around for some time, Apple added some new functionality specifically designed for iPod touch and iPhone users.

The new iTunes DJ features lets iPhone and iPod touch users vote on upcoming tracks.

With iTunes DJ, iPhone users that have Apple’s Remote application installed can request songs to be played. Users can also vote to control when songs are played. The DJ feature even has its own preferences, so you can send a welcome message to users and control whether voting is turned on or off. You can also require users to type in a password to access iTunes DJ’s features.

The below quote is how the authors describe the wifi hack tool:

Aircrack-ng is an 802.11 WEP and WPA-PSK keys cracking program that can recover keys once enough data packets have been captured. It implements the standard FMS attack along with some optimizations like KoreK attacks, as well as the all-new PTW attack, thus making the attack much faster compared to other WEP cracking tools.

Backward compatibility between SATA150 and SATA300 devices was intended, therefore SATA300 controllers were designed to fall back to SATA150 speed when connected to such drives. However, in practice some older SATA controllers do not implement SATA speed negotiation properly, and you can not be a 100% sure that a SATA300 hard drive will fit your laptop with a SATA150 controller.

However, if you are about to replace the hard drive in your MacBook, which is delivered from the factory with a SATA150 hard drive, you are able to replace it with a SATA300. I myself have replaced the original hard drive in my MacBook with a Seagate Momentus 7200.3 320GB SATA 2.5 7200RPM 16MB G-Force hard drive with no problems at all.

The below method is not yet tested with iOS 4.0, if you try it, please post a comment if it works.

Most iPhone OS 2.0 / iPhone 3G users have experienced the very slow backup process each time the iPhone is connected to iTunes, and as more applications are installed the process will take even longer. It is possible to just cancel the backup process, and then make a regular Sync without backing up. However, if you want avoid the backup process from starting, there is a workaround. It is possible disable the automatic backup process from starting, and how to do this is described below; firstly for Mac users, and secondly for Windows users:

[ad code=1 align=left]

Mac users:

1. Quit iTunes.
2. Open a Terminal (Applications > Utilities > Terminal)
3. Type or copy the following command:
   defaults write com.apple.iTunes AutomaticDeviceBackupsDisabled -bool true
4. Open iTunes.
5. Connect the iPhone.
6. Make Sync without backing up.

To enable automatic backup in iTunes again use this command instead:

Note: If you previously have used the command line option that entirely disables the backup feature, then type this command as well to enable to backup process:

Recommendation: If you choose to disable the automatic backup process, it would be a good idea to manually making a backup it once a while to get a safe copy of text messages, call log and like (just right-click your iPhone icon in iTunes).

Windows Users: (updated)

Windows users can use the same approach:

1. Quit iTunes.
2. Press Win+R (opens the Windows Run dialog)
3. Type or copy the following command:
   “%CommonProgramFiles%\Apple\Mobile Device Support\bin\defaults.exe” write com.apple.iTunes AutomaticDeviceBackupsDisabled -bool true
4. Open iTunes.
5. Connect the iPhone.
6. Make Sync without backing up.

Here is some iSync plugins for the Nokia 6300; the first two works pretty stable, and the last has support of contact photos and birthdays, but is might cause some errors to the iSync synchronization process. All plugins should be compatible with Leopard.

Here is what to do:

1. Download one of the following plugins:
   • Nokia 6300 iSync plugin
   • Nokia 6300 iSync plugin supports birthdays
     (edited by Jeremy Robertson)
   • Nokia 6300 iSync plugin supports birthdays and contact photos
     (edited by Rums)

   (using the last mentioned read these notes)

2. Extract the Nokia6300.phoneplugin.zip (your browser might do it for you).
3. Quit iSync if its running
4. Double click the Nokia 6300 Plugin
5. Drag and drop the green folder on the blue one
   
6. Start iSync, and the Nokia 6300 should be supported

Additional notes and issues:

• iSync only synchronizes the contacts you have on the phone and not on the SIM-card. View this comment.
• All-day events in iCal appears as events with start and end time at the same hour in the phones calendar 6300 when synchronized, e.g. 14:00-14:00 according to the time zone.

Notes and issues on synchronizing contact photos:

• If you add contact photos on the phone and then synchronizes, it should work fine.
• But if the photos are added in the Address Book on your mac, some issues are present. Although it works in Address Book adding photos to contacts, it does not always work according to the synchronization part. If a photo is added and you have used the embedded ‘image edit’ pop-up window, then when it comes to iSync your entire sync will fail. But adding photos is still possible, if you have a photo you like to add to a certain contact, just drag it to the information area of the contact, and if the image edit pop-up appears just press Cancel, and in most cases the photo is added anyways.
• If iSync fails because of the above, you are not told what failed, or why it failed.

Here is a short guide on how to add danish spelling in Mac OS X; first thing to do is to download and install cocoAspell (note that it is available both for PowerPC and Intel). Next, get the danish dictionary (aspell5-da-1.4.42-1.tar.bz2 and aspell-da-0.50.1-0.tar.bz2) or other language dictionaries. Extract the dictionary file into the path /Library/Application Support/cocoAspell/, open the System Preferences > Spelling and check the danish dictionary. That’s it… now you should be able to select Danish (Aspell) in the menubar in applications supporting spelling.
