Does anyone who owns a 2011 Mac Pro 17' also has a weak-wireless connections from the router? Seek for the solutions

Hi, I have just brought the 17' Mac book Pro two months ago. However, I found out that this new laptop's wireless connection is unstable. Compare with my 2010 13' Mac Pro and ipad2, the result is significantly responsible with the new wireless card model.(Correct me if I am wrong)
Hence, I am looking for a solution because I frequently skype with my oversea family members. I appreciate for your time and help
Thanks

"...Office Depot is the store where they are on sale. A 15% fee is not fair in my opinion..."
Is that the store policy on returns? What about buying from Best Buy?

Does anyone have a PA271W, 2010 Mac Pro, and 5870 working via DisplayPort?

Hi All,
There are numerous threads about multi-monitor and resume-from-sleep issues with Mac Pro 2010 (5,1) and ATI 5870. There is also one thread in this forum with another user having problems with DisplayPort (henceforth, "DP") on his PA271W, but he has other issues that point to power supply or some other kind of problem.
My problem is that my brand new Mac Pro won't drive my PA271W at all with a mini-DP to DP cable. The same PA271W will drive fine from the secondary output of my iMac. The same PA271W will also work fine on the Mac Pro with DVI.
Apple sent me a replacement 5870 today, and it exhibits the same behavior. I'm trying to determine which of the following is the case:
a) 2010 MP, ATI 5870, and PA271W are an impossible combination that doesn't work.
b) My 2010 MP has some weird issue that makes the 5870 and PA271W not work.
Unfortunately, I don't have another DP monitor to swap the third variable. I've swapped the second variable courtesy Apple. I'd rather not swap the first variable until I absolutely know that's the problem, because it's a huge hassle to disassemble and reassemble another machine.
Anyone already have this exact configuration working okay?
Thanks,
Ben

To answer your question based on what I have seen and inferred so far:
a) I think there's some odd interaction b/w the PA271W, the 5870, and some diagnostic message the 5870 send to the logic board.
b) I don't think this is the case (alternatively ALL 2010 MPs are screwed up!). I was at the Apple store yesterday and tried both a 30" + dual-link miniDP adapter and a 24" miniDP monitors with no issues at all. There's clearly and issue between the PA271W and the 5870, I think.
My PA271W + miniDP/DP cable work fine on both a '09 mac mini and a '09 macbook pro 17". On the mac pro, I cannot boot with it's connected to the miniDP, but it works fine when connected to the DVI port. I can actually connect the PA271W to the miniDP after booting, and this actually works fine, but I'm not going to be doing this every time, too much of a pain.
One important clue (I think): If the mac pro is switched OFF and the PA271W is switched ON, the overcurrent LED light (right next to the CPU) will light up. What this indicates to me is not that there's a power issue (as I originally thought) but that somehow the 5870 is reporting to the mac that something really nasty is connected to it's miniDP connector, and that the mac should not boot.
A poster suggested I disable the DDC/IC on the PA271W. I have the impression this might work (will try tonight). Spectraview can use the USB port for communication with the monitor so I don't think this would be a problem.

Does anyone know if a new Mac Pro needs to come out soon?

Hey everybody..
I'm using mac pro from 2007 and i want to replace it for a new one.
everytime i bought a mac product, 2-3 months after a newer came out (it was like that with my macbook pro, iPhone 1,3,3gs,4s, iPad2).
I guess all i want is to know if apple will ever put out a new mac pro?
is it still apple's flagship?
I don't want to buy mac pro as it is because a lot of new technology is missing, like usb 3, thunderbolt, HDMI ect.
I thing apple didn't came out with new mac pro from 2009.
Please Help,
Niv

There was no new model, it was just a change in default processor from 2.8 to 3.2GHz, that was all, and it is otherwise totally the same, still runs 10.6.8 if needed too.
The need for TB is miniscule on a workstation. There are some attempts to get storage arrays but then you already can add SAS/SATA, and you can install higher end graphic video like GTX 670 if needed. More video processing than any TB - which is a nice product, just more aimed it seems toward notebook users and such.
And there are the constant where is TB threads.
Intel is even reconsidering their Xeon roadmap due to when they can have new models, DDR4 around the corner.
If there is a desire that is needed it is probably SATA 3.1 if anything.

1.- i tried forcing the recovery mode so It would connect to the internet and download mountain lion but after 10 min or so i trows the -2002f error at me
2.- I tried to use the old hard drive that i put on a external hard drive reader so I could get the recovery partition but i just keep restarting the installation no reason given
3.- downloaded the mountain lion and tried to installing it on the system hard drive of the laptop trough a computer running snow leopard but dosn't let me.
4.- tried the same thing on target mode without success
5.- using the recovery partition I used disk utility to se of the partition was locked but it was not
6.- created a different partition to see if it would install it there didn't work.
i just don't understand why
any toughs?
if you answer this you would be a personal hero of mine
cheers

Make Your Own Mavericks, Mountain/Lion Installer
After downloading the installer you must first save the Install Mac OS X application. After the installer downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
   2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the leftside list. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list.
Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
Use DiskMaker X to put your installer clone onto the USB flash drive.
Make your own Mavericks flash drive installer using the Mavericks tool:
You can also create a Mavericks flash drive installer via the Terminal. Mavericks has its own built-in installer maker you use via the Terminal:
You will need a freshly partitioned and formatted USB flash drive with at least 8GBs. Leave the name of the flash drive at the system default, "Untitled." Do not change this name. Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. Copy this entire command line after the prompt in the Terminal's window:
     sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume
     /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app --nointeraction
Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not be echoed to the screen so be careful to enter it correctly. Press RETURN, again.
Wait for the process to complete which will take quite some time.

USB 2.0 card for my 2011 Mac Pro. Reccomendations?

I need a USB 2.0 card for my 2011 Mac Pro desktop. Can anyone reccomend a product or what I need to look for (host interface etc) when searching for a suitable card?

Amazon UK then perhaps? OWC/Macsales is a good place to see what products they have as they are Mac primarily and support Mac Pro of course.
the products they have will list and of course they need to work in 1x as well as 4x.
Lion has been out a year, and unlike ML or early adopters most should or will but again, look and make sure it says 10.7.4, some may say 10.6 or later - have to ask.
You can also dig around and find what chip a product uses and is based on and then shop for similar chip based.
Can we assume you need more USB ports, or you have dead USB on the Mac and not for disk drives in which case USB3 or eSATA are better but USB3 has been iffy on Macs - now that Apple has some and some support in 10.8 while CalDigit card needed drivers for theirs.

Something like this, but no knowledge or idea - compare it to Sonnettech.com USB 2.0 cards

HT3777 why does my boot camp on my mac pro ask for a windows 7 disk

why does my boot camp on my mac pro ask for a windows 7 disk? Can I just install my vista home premium in and proceed?

Lion and Mountain Lion can only install 7 under BootCamp.
You can load Vista under a VM (virtual machine) such as Parallels or VMWare Fusion or VirtualBox (Oracle ownload).

Ok, fair enough. But since Job's death - Apple's control on leaks has been terrible. I got the new iPhone, and I like it - but it hasn't made nearly as big as an impression as previous ones. Because of the vast ammount of leaks. With the iPad mini leaks, it's 99% sure to come out next week.
Apple uses many manufacturers and it's massive also websites prefer to report on Apple whether true or false because it brings more hits.
Amd by "others" I meant other people on iPads - not other devices/manufacturers. It's possible to do so, I just want to know how. I honestly don't think we'll ever be in a Post-PC era until all tablets allow us to use USB in the way computers do.
No, USB is not the future, you missed the memo about cloud and wireless computing?

Should I get a 2.0 or 3.0 USB external hard drive for my 2011 Macbook Pro? I need it to be compatible with the USB ports of both a PC and a Mac.

Should I get a 2.0 or 3.0 USB external hard drive for my 2011 Macbook Pro? I need it to be compatible with the USB ports of both a PC and a Mac. I was thinking of getting a Seagate becuase apparently it is compatible with both systems, but I want to know which would be a better investment.

Does anyone still have problems with Premier Pro on Maverick? and is there any known fix?

Does anyone still have problems with Premier Pro on Maverick? and is there any known fix?

I know OSX 10.9 Mavericks introduced a power saving feature called App Nap which is meant to slow down applications that it determins are inactive (or when minimized). This would mostly likely cause problems if you're dynamically linking After Effects comps to your timeline or sometimes exporting to Media Encoder.
Try disabling App Nap for all your Adobe App files...
Go to your Applications folder
Go into individual Adobe app folders (ie. Adobe Premiere Pro CC)
Right-click on the Adobe app file (ie. Adobe Premiere Pro CC.app) and select Get Info
When the info window opens up, add a checkmark beside "Prevent App Nap"
Restart the application
This fixed all my performance issues.

My Bootstrap nav conundrum: Does anyone who has used a bootstrap nav in BC had this issue...

My Bootstrap nav conundrum: Does anyone who has used a bootstrap nav in BC had this issue or know the fix: If you look at any page on http://www.aerotype.com, the first two clicks on almost any part of the page (like the rotator image left or right arrow) cause the page to jump, and you open the inspector on the top nav area and look at the div with the class="navbar-collapse collapse navbar-right navbar-ex1-collapse" you'll see that an additional class, .in, is added and .collapse is removed on the first click, and a style="height: auto;" is added, then on the second click it's changed to style="height: 0;"... I can't figure our what is causing 'in' to be added to the class (or .collapse removed), what it's for, or how to change it, if that is the issue... the his doesn't happen when the class: navbar-collapse is removed, so I think is has something to do with that but of course the collapse doesn't function without it. If anyone can enlighten me on what is going on I would Greatly appreciate it.

You have this click function on the top'ish part of your site.js that is causing this issue!
// collapse navbar in phone mode on click $(document).on('click',function(){ $('.navbar-collapse').collapse('hide'); }) // end collapse navbar in phone mode on click
Your are better off just deleting it (the click function) as it is not doing what the code comment says it does.

Look at this technical specs document, your system should be fine with the possible exception of Color.
As for managing your preference files, use Digital Rebellion's tool.
Good luck.
