IMac Wireless Dropouts, slow speed , what is apple waiting for?!

hello everyone!
i switched a month ago from a pc to a mac (intel imac 20" , 2,4ghz)
and i must say that it's great, except this : My wifi connections has a lot of trouble!
a lot of dropouts , and even if i keep a strong signal for a while (yeah,some days it keep a descent signal!)
i ALWAYS have slow internet speed (using firefox,but is the same with safari )
my brother has a macbook pro , and at the same place, he got 100% full strength, and NO DROPOUTS
a few days a go we buyed time capsule, we use it now as the main wifi routeur,because with the 80.11N we are supposed to have a MAX range extension , and more fast surfing!
well,....my brother and my father ( macbook pro 5G & macbook pro 2009) , yes, they have a faster and stronger connection, but I HAVE IT WORST THAN WITH THE OLDER ROUTEUR ( US robotics 9108 with a 7db wifi antenna )
and i just updated today, a security update was inculed, now i have dropouts EVERY 5-10 minutes!!
so, i know a lot of people have this kind of problem here, it's not a new problem,so my question is simple :
WHAT ARE THE SOLUTION TODAY? if solution there is!
does apple work on this problem to fix it, or not?do they RECOGNIZE that there is a problem?
and if there's no solution possible, can i connect a kind of "usb wifi key" like those for windows??
hope that someone can give me a CLEAR answer , even if it is to tell me that it never will be resolved!
greetings
fbs

litle update :
i went to apple center (in belgium) to tell them my problem (still have warranty)
they told me "bring us the imac we will check it",
well, they said they "intensly" tested the airport cart and there was NO PROBLEM
so, first of all, i had to pay the test... 180€!!!!!(233$) for TWO HOURS TESTING!!***!!! apple,do you have a job for me?
second, when i placed the imac EXACTLY at the same place where he was before , NO AIRPORT PROBLEMS FOR SOME DAYS, always 100% signal and fast surfing
but now problems are back!!!!and it **** me off!!i'm going to buy on of these usb wifi receiver to test :
http://cgi.befr.ebay.be/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item= 110368113907
an usb wifi receiver... if it still dont fix the problem , i'm going to sell my imac and buy a "hackintosh" 'cause that's realy **** me off!!
so apple,thank you to suck my money,(even if waranty is still running), and not even have balls to admit that the imac, have some wifi trouble!!! thanks a lot!
i will update if an usb receiver work!
cheers

What is Apple doing for those iMac owners who failed to have their Seagate HD replaced by April 12, 2013?

What is Apple doing for those iMac owners who failed to have their Seagate HD replaced by April 12, 2013?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you purchased the iMac less than 3 years ago and it has got one of the defective hard disks, Apple will still replace it for free. Make a backup of your files with Time Machine and take your computer to an Apple Store or reseller. A Genius will check if your Mac was purchased less than 3 years ago.
If the computer is older, you will have to pay. Note that if you already have the iMac on April 12th, 2013 and before, and you knew that your iMac had a defective hard disk, you should have taken it even if the hard drive was working correctly

Sorry , but product is iPhone 5S

You can't buy from the Apple store online in the US because it is country specific and you firstly need a US credit card and then a US address and they won't ship outside of the US so you can't.
No Apple online store will ship outside the coutry.
If you want an iPhone, then you'll have to order via the Russian Apple store online if there is one, or you'll have to wait until it is released in your own country or go and buy one in Europe.

Does anyone know what protection Apple has for the virus that is supposed to shut us out of the internet on Monday?

Does anyone know what protectio Apple has for this virus that is supposed to shut us out of the internet on Monday?

There was a security patch made available a few months ago. So, if you're up to date, you're fine. Here's a link to check whether or not you have any problems with that:

If the site is green, you're OK.
The actual virus attack happened a year ago,but the FBI hasput up servers to keep people on the internet, until now.

What does Apple do for it's employees........

Just a general question. I have this topic on different businesses for business class and what/how the company treats it's employees. Do you guys have any information that could help me on it? What does Apple do for it's employees, in terms of the type of work environment. How they treat their employees. What benefits are given to it's employees. Etc. Thanks!

Welcome to Discussions - you would probably get an answer if you wrote to Apple Inc., 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, Ca 95014. They would be able to give you the information you want. Otherwise, go to apple.com/legal which might also have what you want.

HT1338 I'm trying to download mountain lion, I've got an icon in the dock saying "OSX Mountain Lion waiting..." What is it waiting for? I can't seem to find any context menu or information.

'm trying to download mountain lion, I've got an icon in the dock saying "OSX Mountain Lion waiting..." What is it waiting for? I can't seem to find any context menu or information.

I got it to download by going to the App Store, Purchases, and download.
This was after a false start thanks to Apple Help (total misnomer) which sent me to iTunes.
It is an amazingly slow download, so pack a lunch.
Thanks everyone.

What are you waiting for?

I wonder do you guys feel the same. I must wait very long times for some operations on my system.
1) opening Firefox for a first time
2) starting xfce4
3) opening menu in xfce4 after some change (then it opens immediately)
4) running pacman
5) checking disk usage in ${HOME} (du|sort -nr|less)
6) indexing incomplete movie (mplayer -idx) to preview it
What are your experiences?

1. Gnome to start. first gnome panel show up, then the panel icons show up, one by one, then nautilus background picture, and at last the desktop icons show up sequentially (which is kind of annoying). If you want to give me a desktop, load it all into memory, then show it all at once, rather than giving me it piece by piece. I fart on this behaviour.
2. KDE to load. It does however load it all at once, besides autostarted applications such as kmix yakuake etc etc. I liked it better before someone rearranged the startup scripts in 3.5.3 and made kde _seem_ start faster. It doesn't. You are only given a desktop before it's completely loaded. I also fart on this behaviour!
i totally agree. the reason they added this stupid behaviour to KDE was because everybody said KDE was slow to start compared to Gnome and XP. but those two only SEEM to start faster, tough, on linux you can already start working when the desktop shows, which you can't on windows.
lets hope KDE 4 is so much faster we won't notice this annoying thing anymore ;-)

When downloading 10.5.2 version of itunes to Microsoft Vista 32 bit it gets to 68% downloaded and hangs then eventuall times out. No error msg given. What is it waiting for?

When downloading 10.5.2 version of itunes to Microsoft Vista 32 bit it gets to 68% downloaded and hangs then eventuall times out. No error msg given. What is it waiting for?

Finally got it working, I had to delete two solitary files in an iTunes folder.
C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info
Delete the only two files that are in this folder. Please note that it is a hidden folder.
After they have been deleted, iTunes should work (it did for me)
This may not work if your iTunes.exe process (viewable with task manager) turns off after the license agreement. I solved that problem by updating quicktime.
iTunes 10.5.2 doesn't update quicktime like all the previous installers did.

My machine has gone dead slow. I have to wait for minutes to perform every single function. Like it stopped typing four times during this question.

If this started happening without your having made any changes and without a warning of low disk space, then it's likely that the boot drive, or some other hardware component, is failing. Back up all data immediately, then run the Apple Hardware Test or Apple Diagnostics.
Even if the test is negative, you should make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested more thoroughly.

This might have something to do with bug 5075434 - Small performance overhead in RAC (waits for "KJC: Wait for msg sends to complete").
Check metalink for further details.

Still on PS3? What are you waiting for?

Are you still playing PlayStation 3? Why haven't you moved to the new generation with PlayStation 4? What are you waiting for? A specific game? The right price? Morpheus?

i'm broke at the moment, but in all fairness, I've got plenty of stuff to keep me busy as it is on my PS3 (as well as my WiiU, Amiga, Spectrum, 3DS, PC and Atarti2600) so I have no real need to upgrade. Furthermore, I'm not sure where to go next gen yet. It's tooe arly days to make a sensible decisison. Morpheus is callling to me, but currently I am much more impressed with the XboxOne with all its functionality, external HDD support and codecs, than the rather barren and user-unfriendly (for me anyway) PS4. I am also very angry and unforgiving with Sony for all the content removal on both my PS3 and SmartTV (which has lost Facebook, Midnight Pulp, Sony Entertainment TV, Crackle, Viewster and a whole host of other apps they decided they didn't want to run anymore.) As well as loads of things on the TV that just dont work properly that they cant be bothered to fix, incluing something that casues Youtube to crash all the time. The loss of PSHome was the final straw for me with Sony. Contrary to what a lot of people like to think it was very busy, and for me it was quite important, due to health issues I am fairly housebound, and it was a very good way for me to socialize.I just don't trust Sony anymore to make something that won't be downgraded in the near future. If Morpheus is great then I might be tempted to PS4 in time, but with rumors starting to emerge that the XboXone might support the Oculus, Sony have even lost the VR edge. Just wait and see for now.

IMac with multiple user accounts "cannot associate apple id for ....."

I have an iMac with multiple user accounts each with an Apple ID and individual iTunes library and Itunes match linking to iPhones iPads etc.
I bought songs on my iPhone yesterday, on trying to listen to them on the iMac (my user account) this morning I get the "cannot associacte Apple ID for another 31 day" meassage.
Is there any way round this? or is the answer only purchase via iTunes on the iMac in the individual account. Why do Apple do this?

I'm guessing it's for piracy reasons.

Keys getting dirty look--paint wearing off! What does Apple do for this?

This is dismaying. I received a brand new MacBook Pro (early 2008 model) from Apple only a few months ago and the silver paint on several keys is already wearing off! They're getting that dirty look. See http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=451259
I went through something similar with an old iBook G4... On those, the keys' lettering wore off. Apple service was responsive for sure, although it was pretty silly that they kept sending me replacement keyboards Instead of individual keys or decals. After pushing by me, they even sprung for one of those iSkin plasticky keyboard covers (which turned out it interferes with typing and some say can cause a heat problem). Eventually, they sent me a 4th keyboard that didn't wear out at all. So, it seems that they fixed that issue.
Has Apple solved this paint wearing problem for the MBP's? Do I just go the Apple Care route--again-- and do they send out an entire keyboard? What have other people experience and done?
In this case, obviously, they can't send decals as this keyboard is the backlit (underlit) kind!

This is a known issue with the Early 2008 MBP (as well as earlier models). It has nothing to do with dirty hands, or lotions or hands or anything else. Just from plain old use, it wears down the paint on the keys.
The MBP keyboard keys are no longer removable one by one on that model and onward -- you have to bring your MBP into an Apple Store (or call Apple Care) - they will take it in, change it out for a new keyboard (its under warranty for one year, and if you have Apple Care for two additional years). If you are beyond the one year warranty and did not purchase Apple Care, then you will have to pay to have it replaced (probably a couple hundred dollars plus shipping).
The turnaround for something like that is usually about a week if you have to send it in, and a day if you go to the Apple Store. The Apple Store, after deeming it a repair issue, will order the keyboard. Then they will call you to bring in your MBP and leave it for the time it is required for them to fix it -- usually an afternoon, or overnight.
But this is a well-documented and much discussed issue over the years -- it occured to my old MBP as well. Luckily, I have three apple stores all within a half hour drive of me, so I don't worry about those sorts of things. But it's annoying if you have to send it it.

What is apple address for repairs

hi ive set up a repair for my i phone but apple have'nt given me a address to send it to

Apple will send you a box and prepaid shipping label. Do not send it any other way. If you do not receive this from them within a reasonable time (remember the holiday shipping rush may slow things down) contact Apple again and refer to your case or dispatch number asking them to send another box.
Best of luck.
