How long it took to get your Mac Pro

I ordered a refurbed mac pro feb 22....said would ship by march 1...march 1 came and went...got email said reschedule ship march 7 but would ship standard overnight...sent email to them that had to get it by march 9 so I could get it to my stepson for a presentation for college class...300 people attending....got email last night it shipped....ground...will not be here until march 14...called service...sorry nothing we can do...will take 50.00 off your bill...what a joke....I have never had a computer take that long to deliver...not in 10 years...I had a dell server here in 5 days....setup...hope it works when it gets here..

I still have a refurbished unit running fine from years ago... perhaps an issue of ebb and flow, and erratic availability.
I am sure that its 'beneficiary' will be pleased just to have it. If it was me, I'd want to spent time testing and making sure for a few days that everything is problem-free.
And throw some memory in there to beef up performance along with backup drives and a case of DVDs and CDs - maybe hope for a "my first iMove/iDVD project."
It is an impressive machine, and running Windows side by side Mac OS X (and SuSE etc) is more "Wow" than Vista has been.

SnoozeMaster is now avaiable from the Mac App Store, for MacOS X 10.8 and up.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/snoozemaster/id614955483?mt=12
It addresses this exact issue. You'll be able to configure different pre-set snooze times, enter custom snooze times when an alarm triggers, etc. It's what snoozing should've been from the get go.

Hello - how do i get my mac pro to print in colour

Hello - how do i get my mac pro to print in colour - i am using HP Envy 120 and can not print in colour. when testing the printer, the printer prints in colour, but trying to print from the mac book pro - it prints in black and white. i can't find an option that

I know nothing about your printer. However, to use it properly you must Add the printer in Print & Scan preferences.
See OS X Mavericks- Set up a printer. Also, consult the printer's user manual. With the proper setup the printer should print color or b/w automatically. If you have further problems you need to start with the printer HP's tech support.

Exactly how long did it take before YOUR headphones went out?

This being my second iPod and knowing many a people who have owned iPods I knew when I bought the new 5th gen that the headphones would probable only last me a month. They lasted a week. Ok I went back to the Apple store and had them exchanged them. These have lasted me a surprising long time. 3 weeks.
My question, like the famous tootsie roll comercial, how long did it take before your headphones went out? ANd how many times can you have them exchanged?
Mac OS X (10.3.6)

I've been using 2G on and off for 3 years and just handed mine to my son. He wanted the cool iPod look with his non-iPod. I just opened my 2G Mini head phones a month ago. I havent opened my 5G yet. The newer ones seems a little bit cheaper made.
It all depends on how you treat it. I fall asleep with them on and still havent destroyed 2g Mini's. Too bad mine doesn't die so I can replace them with something better.
When buying new phones, check the user reviews, I know Koss notoriously go bad. Senheiser seems good.

How long query took to run

i ran some queries last week and want to know how long they took to run? Do you how to find out?
Thank you

Try out transaction code St03....
before that make sure you check following option.
RSA1> Tools > BW statistics option for infoprovider (select ODS or cube over which u r running query)
- as according to some experts
You enter ST03, select Expert Mode, then click on BW System Load in left frame.
This should open another fram on the bottom left with a category called Analysis views. Under taht should be an entry for Query Run Times. You can double click on that or drill down to type of query - BEX, WEB, API, or ODBO.
The results are at an InfoProvider level, then double click on the InfoProvider and you should get query level totals. You can NOT get the timings for a specific navigation from ST03 ( or ST03N - they're the same thing as long as you are on a recent enough version ).
To get the timings of a single navigation - Use the info from RSDDSTAT (think they have new names in 2004s) or if you are loading the Tech COntent cubes you can query those.
Another option is to run the query thru RSRT in Execute & Debug mode, selecting the Display Statistics Data option. After the query results are return, click on the green Back arrow and you'll get the query stats. The total OLAP time however includes any human think time if you need to fill in variables for the query. But you also get the DB, OLAP Processing, Front End times etc, which are good for comparison.
***pls assign the points, if info is useful*

Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

How do I get new Mac Pro to "find" my HP LaserJet 1200n?

I have been using my HP LaserJet 1200n with my G5. The ethernet cable from the printer is plugged into my Airport Extreme Base Station. On the G5 I have checked the box "Share this Printer", and its location is given as "Local Zone". I have added a new Mac Pro, and want to use the LaserJet with it. I will be getting rid of the G5. The problem I am having is that I can not get the Mac Pro to "find" the LaserJet on its own. IF I have the G5 turned on, then and only then will the Mac Pro print via ethernet to the LaserJet. In this configuration it lists the Laserjet "@ G5". With the G5 turned off the Mac Pro Systems Prefs list the LaserJet as "idle", but when I attempt to print the Mac Pro searches for the LaserJet with no results. How do I fix this? Thanks!

Good news and bad news.
Good news: I got it to work
Bad news: It worked after about 4-1/2 hours of reading Apple and HP posts and printer manuals, and I really don't know that I did anything different I didn't do at 20 min.
To document for anyone that might search...
With a Laserjet 2100M or 2100TN connected through a Linksys router, I think what was key is to unplug and restart every network device several times, including the router itself. That's the only thing I can think of that might have made it work this time since I was doing the random monkey thing.
Pushing both buttons simultaneously on the printer gets it to divulge its IP address, but I realized I can look at my router in the browser and see where it starts assigning IP addresses (...100 in my case) and if worse came to worse, just configure a bunch of printers with ...100, ...101, etc up to the number of devices on the network since you don't know what got assigned what address (it's unrelated to which of the four ports a device is plugged into because of the wireless devices).
So you can go to the printer menu, I right click on the existing printers and clear all the printers, then hit + and then go to IP menu and pick the jetsocket choice, type in the IP address. The very last (successful) time, it knew what the printer was and picked the drivers (instead of generic postscript or PCL like it had 50 times before).
Again, I think it's the rebooting and unplugging or turning things off to force them to do a little comms handshaking. Depression to elation, all over a printer. We're just pawns in the grip of multinational hegemony. <joke>

How long does it take for a Macbook Pro to be shipped to your home?

How long does it take for a Macbook Pro to be shipped to your home?

Depends on the method of shipping. Normal FedEx takes 5-7 days. You would have to pay extra for 2-day or overnight.

Looking to get a Mac Pro Refurb, How can I get the Airport card too?

I can't find an airport card available anywhere for the Mac Pro. The refurbs do not look like they come with one. I can't find it from apple or anyone else.
What's the deal, and what can be done?
Thanks a lot,
Mark

You can take it into an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) or search on-line for places which offer the card.
One site is Fastmac.com.

Has anyone ever send your mac pro to repair?

has anyone ever send your mac pro to repair?what's the process?do you need to provide the receipt?some rebate ask you to mail-in your receipt,will this affect the repair service?

Hi,
The main process for repairs are to go through either Apple Care on the phone, or take the computer to an Authorized Service Center, or see a "Genious" at a local Apple Retail Store. Apple Care will send you a box to send the computer in to them, and Authorized Service Center will repair the computer, or send it to all, the Apple Store will do teh same thing. They fix some things, while most of the time the computer gets sent to Apple. You only need to reciept if you are going to return or exchange the computer within the 14 exchange period. So even if your reciept is long gone, Apple will still fix the computer.
If you don't mind me asking, whats wrong with your MacBook Pro? Hope this helps.

Full backup ( ~ 1 TB ) using external HD - speed USB vs. Firewire vs. eSATA - what are relative speeds - how to install eSATA on mid-2010 Mac Pro desktop ( dual hex-core processors)_

    Hi All,
     I'm trying to resume regular scheduled Full backup ( ~ 1 TB ) of drives using external HD (to allow off-site redundant backup storage) .
     What are relative speeds of USB vs. Firewire vs. eSATA ?
     I suspect eSATA connection may be considerably faster … how to install eSATA on mid-2010 Mac Pro desktop ( dual hex-core processors)?
      ( The quicker and easier backup protocol is, the more likely one is to use it to backup on a routine repetitive basis.)
Thanks

Adding a USB 3.0+eSATA PCIe card, which The hatter mentions, is the best solution that I've found. See http://eshop.macsales.com/item/CalDigit/FASTA6GU3/. The card is not cheap, but the USB 3.0 works flawlessly (which can't be assumed; ask me how I know) and the eSATA connection allows booting from the connected drive. Grant Bennet-Alder's point about HD speed is important to consider; in addition, the size of the individual files being backed up and where on the backup disk they're going will affect overall transfer speed. For example, using the USB 3.0 connection on that CalDigit card going to a Toshiba 3TB external, the transfer rate for a big file (say a virtual machine file) from an internal SSD boot drive was about 145 MB/sec while a bunch of little files might drop to 30 MB/sec and both rates decrease as an inner partition on the external is used. All told, a nearly 700 GB backup took under 1.5 hours. Using a HD as the source added almost an extra hour, though a WD external was used for that. Using a WD green drive plugged into this http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/FWU3ES2HDK/ with an eSATA connection took about 2.5 hours also, but that was bootable whereas the USB 3.0 connection is not.
Another point to consider is that USB 3.0 is ubiquitous on PC's now so there's lots of price competition for externals; not so much for eSATA externals.

Did you purchased the Full Perpetual License from Adobe for $149.00?, if so then what has happened is that you probably downloaded the Creative Cloud trial version which has now expired.
The license key for the perpetual version will not be accepted to activate the CC version.
Uninstall the existing Lightroom and then download the one available from the link below. The uninstall process will not affect your Catalog, Preferences or personal files but will just remove the application. Install the new download and you license key will be accepted.

If this is not the situation you face then provide some more details.
