Best Router for a Mac Pro with Leopard

Can anyone suggest a good router to purchase that would work with no problems for a Mac Pro with Leopard?
I would be connecting to the router via an ethernet cable, but I'm looking specifically for a g and b router, because my roommate has a Dell and she uses a wireless usb adapter to connect wirelessly. We have a modem (cable or DSL, I think?) and high-speed internet service.
I've heard that some routers are having problems with leopard and macs in general, so I wanted to be sure I'd be getting a good one before I go out and spend a hundred bucks or more.

a linksys wrt150n i got mine for about $99 to 129
and its pretty good
Since the cd comes with pc only software follow these instructions
1 hook up the router to the modem
2 connect to the router
if you want to add a password continue the steps
3 you may have to plug in the router to your mac if not skip this
4 go to http://192.168.1.1 using the password admin
5 now your in the routers menu
6 change the network name if you want to
to add a password go to wireless once you click on it under you will see wireless security select your setting oh by the way passphrase is a name for password if you didint know.
sorry if that was a mouthful if you still dont understand
email me at [email protected]
it works great with my imac my dell inspron and even my ipod touch

  • Best Router for both a Mac Pro with Leopard and a Dell

    I have posted this question in another forum, but maybe this discussion page is the better one for my question, especially in light of all the connectivity problems I'm reading about for people who have upgraded to Leopard -

    Or, the other side of the coin - what routers have you personally had problems with?

    We were previously using a Netgear router, but suddenly it won't work for more than 10-15 min before it loses connection after we reset it. And this happened before I updated to the Leopard.

    Apple AirPort Extreme has served my mixed environment very well. You can buy a refurbished one from Apple and save some $.

  • No Flash Video Playback on Mac Pro with Leopard

    I recently purchased a Mac Pro with Leopard, Final Cut Studio
    2, and Adobe Production Premium suite. I got everything setup
    yesterday, and I exported a Quicktime reference file from Final
    Cut, and brought it into Flash CS3 Media Encoder. The file seemed
    to encode fine, but when I try to open it, it shows that the Flash
    Player opens, but the video never actually opens. I also tired to
    import the FLV file into Flash Pro, and it acts as though it
    imports, but it does let me preview it. The ONLY thing that I think
    could have caused a problem is that I also have Sorenson Squeeze
    installed, which has its own On2 VP6 encoder. Again, this may have
    nothing to do with it since I copied the file to another Mac
    machine that did not have Sorenson on it, and downloaded the
    standalone Flash Player, and it acted the same. Any ideas on why
    FLV files would not play back would be greatly appreciated. I have
    ALL updates installed for OS X Leopard, as well as the CS3
    collection. Thanks in advance.

    I really appreciate your help with this. As simple as it
    sounds, I was really wrapped up in getting a second HD editing
    suite up and running, and had not done my homework. Prior to your
    post, I tried to play 5 different FLV files on 3 machines. None of
    them played until I downloaded a great FLV player. Once I installed
    the FLV player, all of the videos played flawlessly. Thanks
    again!

  • How best to setup a Mac Pro with two hard drives for 1st hard drive or OS failure?

    My first Apple, a Mac Pro,  is to arrive on Monday (1/7).  I will be putting Win7 on Bootcamp and installing Parrallels.  It will have two 1T hard drives.   I would appreciate
    any advice on how best to set it up for best recovery in case of a hard drive or OS crash.   You can tell I have experience with Windows.    It looks like my best choices are
    either disk cloning software or just installing OS X from the recovery disk  on the second drive.   Apple says it is legal to do another installation.   I know the disk cloning will not work on the bootcamp partition which I plan to use for the Parallels program.  Can OS X have an option to boot from two differnet disks and OS installs?
    What I am really wanting to do in the event of a crash,  is to just boot up on the other disk and keep working.     I try to keep data on a separate partition  with backups so
    that a disk or OS crash doesn't cause any data loss.

    I do not use windows.
    However on my Mac Pro for cloning/backups/bootable backups i use Carbon Copy Cloner.
    It has an ability to clone entire disk (unless specified differently) so I can boot from another disk or restore back if I want to.

  • Best webcam for a Mac Pro?

    I'm not sure how much luck I will have, but here goes.
    I have an old mid-2008 Mac Pro, I've been wanting to get a webcam for it for some time now, can anyone suggest one? — I doubt one of the cheap $20 webcams I can buy at the supermarket will even work with my Mac.
    I've known Logitech to make Mac compatible webcams in the past, but I can't find any any locally.
    Can anyone suggest something that's been tested to work with Mac? Thanks.

    Thanks for the detailed response EZ Jim,
    Yes, turns out after I posted this, I was reading through the Logitech Support pages, and found a similar answer in that no drivers should be required since Mac OS X has UVC drivers included as of 10.4.8 onward (great idea on Apple's part!) — with that information I decided to take a chance, and purchased a Logitech c270 for about $50AU.
    So far I've tested it with a number of applications, I figured I'd try Photo Booth first, it works well.
    I then tried to set up iChat with my iCloud account, couldn't seem to get that to work, so I called Apple Support, who helped me find the FaceTime app for Snow Leopard, got my iCloud account connected and was able to make a successful call to a family member. (I found the picture quality very nice for a small 720p camera.)
    I also figured that since the webcam has a microphone built in, I'd also try using it for audio recording, it worked, which is handy meaning I won't have to connect an external microphone through the line-in.
    I've still got a few uses I want to test it with such as Yahoo Messenger and Skype, but I'm confident that given my success so far it will work just fine. :)

  • Where is the best shop for new mac pro's memory in America ?

  • Video cards for 2008 Mac Pro with 4 20 inch Cinema Displays

    I have an early 2008 Mac Pro Quad Core with 16GB RAM. I run a 4 (20 inch Mac Cinema Display) monitor configuration off of it. one of my video cards just failed. They were never very good at handling FX in FCP anyway. I want to upgrade and get good cards for 2 displays each and if possible, video cards that will facilitate FCP X as well. What should I get?

    OS X has drivers in 10.6.5
    It is the ROM firmware that makes it work though there is help there too now for PC cards and flashing.
    OWC is over pricing.
    100s of threads asking the same question for the last yr.
    5870 also, but costs $200 more.

  • "Best" configuration for new Mac Pro used for Aperture?

    I'm getting ready to order a new Mac Pro and would like to configure it to optimize Aperture performance.
    On CPUs - I have found no benchmarks which show whether Aperture would benefit from 2 quad core processors versus 1. Does anyone know of any benchmarks or have any experience using a single quad core? I don't want to spend $500 on a 2nd processor if Aperture can't use it.
    On Graphics cards - I was sold on the GForce 8800, due to it's supposed blazing speed for gaming and it's larger on board memory. However, after reading the following review http://www.barefeats.com/harper10.html , these guys seem to imply that applications such as Aperture actually run faster with the standard Radeon 2600 video card! If anyone has any experience or opinions on this review, I'd love to hear them!
    On memory - I know from experience that Aperture will use all of the physical memory you make available to it. I plan on ordering the standard 2GB from Apple, then adding 8GB from 3rd party for total of 10MB.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I can only say that when faced with the same decision last month, I went with a 2.8 8-core/8800GT/10gb RAM/library stored on 2nd internal drive setup and am completely satisfied with Aperture's speed. Beyond satisfied, really, borderline thrilled to be honest. No beach balls, perfectly responsive adjustment sliders, smooth and quick scrolling through images (even with Quick Preview mode turned off). Aperture 2 definitely takes advantage of all 8 cores - I have MenuMeters installed and can watch its CPU usage across all 8 cores. Exporting, for example, is fast and uses all cores for background processing.
    I have seen a couple small anomalies though...when moving photos around in a light table, I get some odd flashing artifacts on the right side of screen that could be graphics card related. Visually annoying but it doesn't affect performance. I'm also seeing some weird behavior with keywords not appearing in Tooltips and in the Viewer, but it's intermittent and is most likely a software bug and not my hardware setup.

  • Boot camp XP on mac Pro with Leopard

    I have tried to load windows xp onto my new Mac Pro. The firmware is up to date. The files load but the startup disk never ejects. The computer says that it is starting up windows, but never enters into the windows start up screen. The computer continues to run drivers over and over again. Is there anything I can do to continue the process?
    Please help. I have installed it on other machines with no trouble ( older mac book pro"s) but never on a macPro

    I'm having the same problem. I only have the keyboard that came with the iMac. Love to hear some other ideas of how to get past this.
    Each time I've attempted I've had to just turn the power off while in this mode, then restart while holding down eject to get the windows disc out. Luckily it restarts with my normal Mac settings and desktop.

  • Best option for wireless Mac Pro early 2009

    I didn't but the airport card when I bought my Pro, but find myself needing a wireless connection.
    What is the best option?
    I see many USB adapters cheap, but have heard that reliability has been an issue with many of them.
    I've heard of issues with 10.6.x (and I need 64bit too) with some PCI adapters.
    Should I try to find one of the airport express cards that shipped with it as a BTO option? I have the skill to dismantle the computer to install it myself. 
    I'd like to go the cheapest route, but don't want to chase down drive or other issues repeatedly; I've gone through that mess with "bargain" routers before.
    I'd need it to work with boot camp too.
    Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

    Obviously you can find your way around inside one of these things, so yeah -- you're probably better off just shopping for the best deal online.
    I think you have to be careful about the connection wires -- they're referred to here, in step 5

  • The best webcam for the Mac Pro?

    I have a 23 inch desktop and frankly, I'm upset at the iSight not being made anymore and the people making serious bank off it on ebay and amazon. I tried the agent webcam by liquid digital which is a company in australia, http://agent.liquiddigital.com.au/index.htm
    The problem? Too expensive and the video did poor in well lit situations. It also looked grainy. I want a webcam that will look as good if not better than the ones on the Laptops and iMacs. It looks razor sharp at The Apple events when used for iChat demos. I want the same thing at home.

    Do you happen to have a Firewire Camcorder ?
    Also see the bottom this page http://homepage.mac.com/john_kenn/video.html
    Although written at the time of Jaguar (iChat 2 demo) it does list some Firewire web Cams you may find in some corners of the market.
    Fire-I still brings up a link
    What was the iRez Kritter now leads you here with all sorts of prices. (They tend to specialise in Medical Cameras now)
    After that it is looking at USB cameras
    Ones that are listed as USB 2.0 and therefore more likely to be UVC compliant are the next best bet (UVC is USB Video Class which is now got a driver in the Mac OS since 10.4.9)
    This chap has done some comparisons http://www.speedycam.be/webcams.html
    The X-Box 360 cam has a focus ring and works on computers that have 10.4.9 and above and USB 2.0 ports (it is UVC compliant).

  • Why would my Mac Pro with Leopard 10.5.1 reboot when I do a safe boot?

    I turn on the computer. It bongs. I hold down the shift key and keep it held down. The gray Mac screen appears and then the spinning wheel indicator appears and runs for a few minutes, then the computer just reboots. The computer boots just fine otherwise. I can also boot into single user mode with no problem.
    I don't recall trying this when the computer was running 10.4.x, so I can't be sure it's specific to the computer, but my guess is that it's specific to Leopard.
    Anyone else try a safe boot under Leopard and had a similar experience?
    other keywords: safe mode, extensions off.

  • Mac Pro with Leopard Server won't reboot

    I seem to be stuck at the grey screen after a reboot of my server. Here are the symptoms and I'm wondering if anyone has experienced them before or has some idea of where to look:
    1) Over the last couple of weeks, I've noticed the entire system freezing up for 10-20 seconds. The spinning pinwheel pops up and when my office is really quite, it sounds like either a fan is starting on the system or a hard drive is spinning up. Note that I've turned off all 'spin drives down when possible' in energy savings.
    2) After the 10-20 seconds, a bunch of disk activity occurs and everything goes back to normal.
    I've tried repairing permissions, checking for errors with the drive, etc. I've got two drives striped in Raid 0 (yes, the system is backed up--so I'm not worried about loosing data).
    After a recent software update, I had to reboot it, and that's where it got stuck. Could be something there for some time, but my server usually runs for months at a time, unless an update requires a reboot.
    Thanks for any help or suggestions!

  • RAID setup for a Mac Pro

    I'm trying to figure out what would be the best configuration for my Mac Pro tower as far as storage and backup is concerned. I want a RAID drive with hot swappable slots but I'm not sure what the best solution is. Apple's SAN and xServe seem far too sophisticated for my needs (not to mention pricey). I bought a Norco DS-500B eSATA RAID storage array but the RAID controller card is a PCI-X and incompatible with my machine (although the documentation says it's totally compatible...weird). And so in my investigation as to what card to get to replace the one provided, I couldn't find any reviews on this product, save one which said that the array is very bad and will destroy all your hard drives. Sooo...I'm returning the array in search of a new one, but again my investigation has turned up very little. Am I the only one? Or am I out of touch with the real solution?

    What's missing in your post is two of the most important elements.
    How much storage do you need?
    There is a myriad of options if you want 2-5TB of space. Not so many if you want 2-5 petabytes of space
    How much are you prepared to spend?
    You have many, many options at $100,000, but no so many at $100
    The other thing to consider is that by and large, price reflects quality - either in reliability or performance (or both).
    If your budget is, say, $2000 you have to decide whether you're better off buying a budget 5TB system or a pro 2TB system - the latter system clearly has less capacity but may offer higher performance and/or reliability. Any RAID system is only as good as all the parts, and the physical drives are only a small element there. The controller, internal electronics, cabling and even interface can have just as much impact on a reliable RAID system (almost any RAID system can recover from a failed disk, but a burned-out controller is harder to recover from).

    I've got the Macbook Pro with leopard, if i want to get Lion for it, do i have to get snow leopard first? i don't have a mac app store!

    Ian, this might help explain it a bit more:
    http://osxdaily.com/2011/06/07/mac-os-x-10-7-lion-system-requirements/
    It's only available from the store, and you need 10.6.6 to access the store. But if you can download it using 10.6.6 on another machine, you'll be able to install it on a machine meeting the hardware requirements (it doesn't matter which OS was installed on it).
