The MacMost Question and Answer Forum is a place where you can ask how-to questions about your Mac, iPhone, iPad and other Apple products. MacMost specializes in tutorials, tips and techniques of the “how-to” variety, as opposed to “fix-it” questions that are more about something not working as expected.5/6/10

I was told by Godaddy that I need to name my nameservers. I’ve already set up everything else such as cname, but the 2 nameservers stump me. They told me to check with MobileMe, and I always come to Gary for MobileMe questions. :-)

Hi Gary,
For some reason, my MacBook Pro will consume half the battery (recently replaced at the Apple Store) over a few hours when it’s asleep.
Is there any way to troubleshoot, to find out which processes are causing this unusual drain?
Thanks,
