MacBooks Shouldn't Use Anything Newer Than Tiger for Wireless

Hi,
Apple, I'm really sorry to say, but your software blows chunks for wireless connectivity on your laptop computers since Tiger. I have no idea what you have done, but Airport wireless connectivity consistently and sporadically drops and reconnects. This issue has been well documented on the web by many, many users. I had hoped that you resolved this issue in 10.5, but you have obviously not! It looks like I'm going back to 10.4 on my MacBook Pro. Unfortunately, I had defended you and Leopard since it first came out, but I was DEAD WRONG! I REALLY WONDER WHETHER STEVE JOBS TOLERATES HIS MACBOOK PRO DROPPING INTERNET CONNECTIVITY SPORADICALLY! NO, I bet he doesn't. I'm sure his works perfectly well.

Sorry to hear that. My MacBook's AirPort works flawlessly under 10.5.

    As Tom said the FCS forum is the better place to post the question.
    Here is Apple's best practices doc for installing both on the same system.
    BTW, FCP7 is part of the FCS 3 suite of apps.

  • I created a new apple id for my iphone and ipad which work great and allow me to access Icloud. on my macbook air can't get it to use my new apple id for icloud. Help?

    I created a new apple id for my iphone and ipad which work great and allow me to access Icloud. on my macbook air  I can't get it to use my new apple id for icloud. It keeps going back to my old apple id and doesn't afford me to alter it. I use system preferences-icloud and it just wants to verify the old apple id but doesn't afford me the opportunity to delete teh account or edit it like the iphone5 and ipad. Help?

  • CRS Install hostname being used by more than once for the same node.

    Hi, we're installing The Oracle Clusterware and on the Cluster Configuration screen of the universal Installer (the one were you specify the clustername and clusternodes) we get the following error message in a dialog box when the next button is clicked:
    "You must enter unique values for the public node name, the private node name and the virtual hostname for all nodes in the cluster. The name, node1, that you entered is being used by more than once for the same node."
    Has anyone experienced this error message before and know what the cause is?
    Could it be a problem with the /etc/hosts file?
    Thanks in advance,
    M

    Make sure you allocate separate IP addresses on your network for the VIP addresses on each RAC node (this is not the same as the machine IP already configured on the OS).
    Also, the installer may complain if your private and public IPs are configured under the same subnet.
    Finally, as mentioned before, check that name resolution for all the IPs to be used. On all RAC nodes, your /etc/hosts file should be configured with:
    - public name and IP addresses of ALL nodes
    - private name and IP addresses of ALL nodes
    - VIP name and IP addresses of ALL nodes
    Hope that helps

    "When is apple going to make ibook for MacBook? "  There is no way to know when or if such a thing will happen unless Apple announces.

  • Cant use anything other than 44.1KHz??

    Whenever I set a project to anything other than 44.1KHz it sounds awful. My RME fireface card supports 44.1, 48, 88, 96, 192 (and anything in between using DDC thank you very much RME!). What do I need to do?

    Based on the assumption that you are not clocking from an external source which is running at 44.1
    Set your internal clock in the Audio Midi Setup program (it's in Applications>Utilities) to whichever clock you wish to use (set it at the Audio Input section and the output should toggle accordingly) then boot logic and change Logic's clock in the Audio pop down menu. This is kind of a boot up thing, if you have iTunes or Quicktime running your computer may not like you for changing the clock.
    Good Luck.

  • Using the new apple ID for children on iPhone 4 (iOS7)

    So, I got a new iPhone 6 and made an apple ID for my child who is under 13. Then I tried to use this apple ID on my old iPhone4 wich I reseted. This did not work. Iphone4 does not have iOS8, could this be the problem? Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    I know how to create a child account - that has been done. As far as I can tell, your link only explain how to do this.
    My question was regarding how do you use this new apple ID when setting up a new iphone which does not have iOS8. Unfortunately I am not able to find any help on this matter. But I am very happy to be wrong here - so if the answer is in fact stated in your first link, please point it out more clear!
    Thanks!

  • Can I use the new Firefox Beta for Win 8 on a non-touch screen computer?

    I installed Win 8 on my somewhat old laptop (3 and 1/2 years old). I don't have a touchscreen on it, I don't want to use Internet Explorer, and I badly want to use the new tile Firefox and help it's development. I installed it and tried to enable tile mode but it is not offered in the settings at all. Is it possible to use it without a touchscreen?

    Hi Marko,
    Unfortunately work on the tile interface was discontinued due to low interest. You can find more information here: https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2014/03/14/metro/
    The code lives on, so the project could well be restarted in the future. But for the time being you can only use Firefox in its traditional "desktop" interface.
    Sorry for the bad news!

  • Can I use an old UFO Extreme for wireless printing?

    Greetings, I have a new airport extreme base station managing my wireless network, but I am still printing wirelessly from a Macbook Pro by sharing a printer with wired a G4 desktop. (my 'main' BS is in the basement, G4 and printer on the 3rd floor, connected to the BS via ethernet). I have an older UFO style base station gathering dust that I'd like to use for wireless printing by having it sit next to the printer and connect to it via usb, join my existing network wirelessly, and, well that's it. Essentially I want it to be an airport express, so I can print wirelessly without the G4. Is this an easy/possible setup? What settings will I have to change on my 'main' airport BS as well as the UFO? Any guidance you can give me I'd very much appreciate. Many thanks in advance, and sorry for what I suspect is a dumb question.

    Badlyva, Welcome to the discussion area!
    The AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) can not join a wireless network like the AirPort Express (AX) can. But you could configure your new AEBS to act as a WDS main base station and the old AEBS to act as a WDS remote base station. The bad part is that you would need to use 802.11g and the WDS link would cut your available wireless bandwidth in half of that.

  • Better router than WRT160NL for wireless library?

    I have been evaluating a WRT160NL. This router is used to allow wirless access to a set of multi-TB (USB) hard disks that comprise a wireless library. The idea is: I open a Pelican case in the middle of nowhere, and flip a power switch...presto...everyone in the local area has access to all of man's knowledge, including every book ever printed
    The features I love StorageLink's ability to plug in multiple multi-TB hard disks (though a USB hub) as a NAS, and to make them available through either Cat 5 or 802.11b, g, and n. I have successfully tested a WD MyBook 2TB dual edition. The ability of the WRT310NL to run off a 12V DC (2.1mm x 5.5mm) plug really helps in the middle of nowhere. (I use 12V universal laptop batteries for power.)
    The problems I have are:
    (1) The routher looses its' configuration when power is pulled, making me log in by http to set up the NAS configuration all over.
    (2) The router only supports SAMBA NAS (AFAIK) so no FTP or HTTP access to the NAS. (Have you ever tried to install SAMBA on a NOKIA 800 or an IPHONE?)
    (3) Sometimes I have difficulty gettting the router to recognize multiple partitions. It seems if I change the settings on a partition, it's screwed for good. Togeather with the need to reset the settings after every router cold boot, this is a pain.
    So, is there a better version of a Linksys by CISCO router for me?
    Andy
    P.S. I understand that some models (610) support 802.11a, and gigabit ethernet which would be good from a compatibility point of view, but that's not critical. The real issues are those I listed above.

    Try to upgrade/reflash your router's firmware and reconfigure it...
    Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.........insert model no of your router in serach tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop
    Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
    In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
    Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful"  After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
    Now reset your router :
    Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
