Cisco Wireless card software for new laptops

Since new laptops no longer have PCMCIA slots, and Cisco doesnt sell a compatible card, at least none I can find, will their site survey tool work with the built in cards? I need to do a site survey for implementing a MESH, and dont have the software anymore, mine died a horrible death.

Try Ekahau Site Survey or, better yet, TamoGraph Site Survey. A far more attractive price tag and excellent quality. TamoGraph should support virtually any built-in adapter, unless it's Ralink-based.

There are a number of extremly dubious sites which claim to offer Drivers for common Hardware, but actually are phishing for identies and credit card numbers and candidates to join a bot-net.
Make absolutely certain you load drivers ONLY from the manufacturer's web site.

Looking for new laptop what are the differences between pro and air? Besides size. Does the air preform like the pro?

Looking for new laptop what are the differences between pro and air? Besides size. Does the air preform like the pro?

The NEW macbook Pro and Air are EXTREMELY close in form factor
The newest macbook Pro is essentially a larger macbook Air with Retina display and options for speed in increasing prices up to an independent graphics and quad core processor.
both Air and new Pro now have PCIe SSD and permanent RAM.
The Air is the lightweight portable form factor, fast to boot and shut down, but with longer battery life than any of the macbook pro in 13"
Now the new macbook Pro and macbook Air are extremely close in form factor and nature.
both have 802ac wifi
both have permanent RAM, no superdrive
both are slim profiles and SSD
The only real differences now are (in the most expensive Pros) faster processors and quadcore processors and top end model autonomous graphics.
....and of course the retina display
both are now "very good for travel"
Other than features the form factor of the Air and Pro are VERY close now,....so now its merely a matter of features and price more than anything.
You need an external HD regardless of what you get for backups etc. Drop into an Apple store and handle both and make your choice based on features, such as Retina or non-retina, .... both at a distance now look like the same computer.
The Pro weighs more, ....but nowhere near what it used to just a month ago on the older macbook Pros
The NEW macbook Pro is a different creature entirely than the older macbook Pro, .....the new Pro is thicker than the Air, but id frankly call the NEWEST Pro a "macbook Air with Retina display" , or
Maybe a “macbook Air PRO with Retina display”
Instead of Air VS Pro now,.....its really a smooth transition from Air to pro without comparing say, 2 different creatures, now its like contrasting a horse from a race horse.
Either one in 8gig of RAM (preferably)... the 4gig upgrade costs very little, the I7 you will notice only 15% faster on heavy applications over the I5, and NOTHING on most APPS.....I5 has longer battery life.
As you see below, the non-Retina 13" AIR is 82% of the Macbook with Retina display in resolution
there is no magical number of pixels per inch that automatically equates to Retina quality.
http://www.cultofmac.com/168509/why-you-might-be-disappointed-by-the-resolution- of-those-new-retina-display-macs-feature/
A huge internal SSD isnt a game changer for anything, you need an external HD anyway
what you WONT READ on Apple.com etc. is that the larger SSD are MUCH FASTER due to SSD density
"The 512GB Samsung SSD found in our 13-inch model offers roughly a 400MB/s increase in write speeds over the 128GB SanDisk/Marvell SSD"

Do I need to tell Lightroom to use the Graphics Card in my new laptop?

HI!
I have a new laptop and have successfully transferred my pics, catalogue and LR settings across.
It has better specs than my last one, including a decent (I think!) dedicated graphics card. I have always had integrated graphics before so am not sure how this works. Do I need to tell applications, such as Lightroom, to use the graphics card, or will this be automatically be done by the software/operating system? If I do need to do anything, is this in each software (like Lightroom), the computer settings, or in some third party control software?
Thanks for your thoughts.

Thanks for that. That seems a shame, although hopefully the increased CPU will help it run more smoothly anyway.
Do you know off hand whether I would need to do anything for other programs with regards to the graphics card or is everything automated?
thanks again

Get error when trying to set up printing for new laptop

I have an HP laptop that is currently using windows XP and I was able to get that computer to connect wirelessly to the printer that is physically connected
to that desktop (HP deskjet 5550printer) computer. Now I recently purchased two Toshiba laptops that are running with Vista on them and cannot get them to print when I'm prompted to print a test page. Is it possible that the vista driver is not compatible with the xp driver that is on the DESKTOP computer?
I do get errors that say the wrong driver is installed.
Thanks for any help that any one has.

Hi,
Yes XP drivers are not compatible with Vista you need to install software for both the Computers.

IP issue on wireless with WRT54G and new laptop

Hello,
I just got a new laptop after having gone over a year without one on my home network and I have an issue...
The laptop sees the WRT54G wireless router, says it connects to said router, and then tells me it can't obtain an IP from the router. I vaguely remember when my desktop PC used windows XP and I had this little tool that worked with the WRT54G when I last had a laptop on my home network, and I had the same issue until I 'authorized' it. That tool doesn't seem to exist anymore online and my desktop has had a fresh install of Windows 7 for what seems like ages... Nothing I change in settings seems to get the laptop an IP wirelessly, anyone have any suggestions...?

Oddly, I found a strange, but far easier solution... plugging it in through a wired connection then removing said wire after using the network gave the laptop an IP address and let it work perfectly wirelessly... Though I'm not sure why that should be... It only makes sense if the router doesn't give out IP's to wireless connections for some odd reason...
Oh and I created and manually recreated the connection at least 3 times... With no effect... I even switched from WPA to WEP to wide open while trying to get it to work (it's back on WPA again now) when trying to find a solution... None got me more than limited connectivity as it wasn't getting an IP address from the router, even though it was connecting...

Why will itunes not allow me to download new software onto new laptop

hi
wjy will itunes not allow me to download the new software to my new laptop, ive put my desrired email address in but it wont download

Greetings BevAnneS,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like it does not recognize that iTunes is installed. It looks like you have already done some troubleshooting. I would recommend that you read this article, Don't uninstall these components in a different order, or only uninstall some of them.
Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

Re-register software on new laptop

I need to re-register my software on my new laptop but the registration screen locks up every time I try to register. How can I re-register the software, I have five more tries left before it will not work?

I guess I am not making myself clear. When I launch Adobe PhotoShop CS6. a popup screen comes up and says the following:
Sign In Required
Signing in with an Adobe ID and registering Creative Suite 6 Design Standard [English (North America)] is required within 4 days otherwise it will stop working. Your Adobe ID provides you an easy way to access your serial numbers, as well as Adobe Creative Cloud and the Adobe.com community.
Sign in Later Sign in Now
When I click "sign in now" it locks up, it never connects to the internet even though I am on the internet. I don't get the "Activation screen, you will click "Having Trouble Connecting To The Internet."" as you mention. When I go to register the product as you mention in your first message, I get the following, "This serial number has already been registered. Products can only be registered once. Click here for more information." So again, I am in a loop! HELP!
Thanks
Dwayne

Windows 7 or 8.1 for new laptop?

I'm close to buying a new laptop based on a 4th gen i7 and an Nvidia GTX, primarily for general personal use and some home music production. I also need it as a capable emergency/portable CS6 editing backup to my Xeon Win 7 desktop system. I can choose the new OS. Is there still any reason for me to avoid 8.1? Are there instead actual benefits to getting it or 8.1 Pro now? I'm wondering especially in terms of drivers, Premiere's performance and any new Windows features regarding things like system management and security.
Thanks in advance.
David

I agree with Jim.
I have the new Dell Precision M6800 with Windows 8.1 and Creative Cloud.
It's a "killer combination".

Greeting card software for Mac?

So, I switched my parents over to a Mac Mini a month ago. They really like it, but they miss having their "Greetings Workshop" greeting card software from their old Windows computer.
So, I'm trying to find something they can use instead. I've found a couple programs, but from many years ago. Something free would be best (either downloadable or online), but they're willing to pay for one too.
Thanks!

For freebie software, check out http://www.versiontracker.com or http://www.macupdate.com. They have search options so you can find programs that are built for making greeting cards, however nobody can guarantee those programs will work (properly). They take submissions by everyone from major corporations to teenagers who're punching out their first programming efforts. Its worth a shot to check'em out though. Beyond that, however, you can create greeting cards in various word processors, including apple's Pages. I love the program myself, but some folks havent found it to be the most intuitive. Additionally, while it has starter templates, its more of a raw "start from scratch" program.

What is good greeting card software for my mac mini with Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.1? I want a wide range of existing templates such as Hallmark and Printshop offer, but can't find for this version OS X.

For my Mac mini with Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.1, what is a good greeting card software download with lots of templates and graphics?

Hi simon2010,
as far as I can see, I have resolved it...
Just so I didn't write over my functioning disk in the Mac mini, I took it out and put a spare one in. (Would have saved me going back to the Apple store to get it re-imaged if it did fail.)
I created a Mountain Lion installer on an 8GB USB stick, and first installed 10.8.4 (the latest at the current time) on my MacBook Pro... it worked fine, so I knew the installer stick had no problems at all (that's one thing to rule out of the list of potential causes).
With my spare hard disk in the Mac mini, I then went to try to install 10.8.4 on it, with my 16GB non-Apple RAM in it. It failed as usual in the way I expressed originally.
I then just swapped my 16GB RAM for the original Apple 4GB RAM (2x2GB sticks) which I put back in the machine, and I tried re-installing. No problem whatsoever - it installed perfectly.
It's the RAM! Even though my RAM works perfectly once installed, the Apple OS installer refuses to proceed if Apple RAM is not in. I put my 16GB RAM back in after installing the OS and all is fine.
I'm quite surprised Apple has done this.
Have you changed the RAM? Let me know if it's the same problem or you have some differences.
I assume it will install fine if I put the orignal HD back in, again if I have the original Apple RAM in of course.
PS. Also to note, the point where it failed in the installer with my 16GB RAM in, with the original Apple RAM in it took an incredibly long time towards the end of the bar moving across the screen; it says "5 minutes remaining" for at least 15, maybe 20 minutes, but gets past it eventually, then does a reboot to continue its install.

Anti Virus Software for New iBook - Any Need for it

Hi,
Is there any real need to buy any Anti Virus software for a new iBook running Tiger.
If so what would be the best software to Buy.

Hello Simon,
As has been stated there are NO viruses for Mac OS X. None!
Some will say that NO form of protection is required. Some will say that there is a good case for having at least some protection.
There is an interesting article here
No need to spend any money now!

Card reader for new Mac Pro?

what is a good card reader for the new Mac pro?

First this is the MacBook Pro forum, Notebook forum. Do you have a MacBool Pro Notebook or a Mac Pro Desktop?
Anyway any card reader made by one of the major CF/SD/MicroSD memory card manufacturers will work. Connecting to your Mac computer by USB, Firewire (If your Mac puter has a Firewire port) or even Thunderbolt if there are any that connect that way. As for USB connection you won't see much difference between USB 2 or 3. The cards limit the transfer speed more than the connection type.
