Major Problems with 802.11n Upgrade:-(

Since I installed the new 802.11n update, my upload speed is virtually unusable: it stays at or below 10-11k.
I am connecting a Mac Book C2D to a D-Link 655, and everything worked great until I applied the update.
I've reinstalled several times, to no avail. Any ideas?
How do I uninstall the 802.11n Update?

this is why they call the N specification a "draft."
it's beta. uncompleted. devices from different manufacturers cannot be guaranteed to work at all until everyone's using the final spec.
i would NOT RECOMMEND following the advice on macfixit.com to replace parts of your airport driver with older versions. instability will result in a system with mixed software versions when apple's software updates are installed.
at the very least... when 10.4.9 is released, USE THE COMBO UPDATER, not the delta. it will write over the version discrepancy you created, allowing you to "re-apply" your hack if you're still experiencing trouble.

Will older macs ever work with 802.11n

Just wondering if the requirements for 11n is just a matter of buying a new network card or does the hardware also have to support it as well. I ask only because I have a G4 & G5 on my existing airport network. Have a MacBook Pro also on network. I would like all of them to be at the same speed if possible.
multiple macs Mac OS X (10.4.8)

retouch4food, Welcome to the discussion area!
As you undoubtedly know from reading the "Help & Terms of Use" for this area, we are all Mac users like yourself. Therefore we have no special knowledge of future Apple plans or products. Also the discussion of future plans and products is forbidden in this discussion area.
But... based on past history... it is very doubtful that you will see any type of 802.11n upgrade for existing non-802.11n Macs. 802.11n depends on multiple antennas to perform it's magic and it would be very difficult to change built-in antennas in the existing Macs.
With all that said... if you want to give your non-802.11n capable Mac 802.11n access, the best solution will probably be an Ethernet 802.11n adapter.

Cant load the airport express with 802.11n

today i just got my new airport express with draft n. but my router can't load the config anymore after i uploading my setting ( change to N with 5 GB ). i've tried all of methods that the manual included. I think i need to exchange the new one. i just bought it yesterday.
i wanna know that would apple store give me refurbished product to me ????

today i got a replacement of AE with 802.11n. the same problem come up. Cant load the configuration. how on earth can i change the setting of my AE? this is my second times, my serial number is 6F8111XXXXX. Please apple fix it.

Data and Voice separation with 802.11n

Hi there
I'm interessting in some design guides. I would deploy data in 2.4 GHz band and the voice in 5 GHz band. But aren't there problems with the 802.11n deployment, I thought that this works better in 5 GHz.
What recommendations would you make and did you have some issues with this design?
Thanks in advance.
Dominic

Hi Dominic,
You can find all kinds of documentation on Cisco's 802.11n homepage: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/netsol/ns767/networking_solutions_package.html
To answer your questions, there is no "problem" with running 802.11n in the 2.4GHz space, but there are limitations. You cannot use channel-bonding, which is the primary source of the added bandwidth that 802.11n offers. If you want to see 150Mbps data rates, you'll need to deploy it in a 5GHz implementation.
Another advantage to running in 5GHz is that you can isolate your 802.11n traffic from your 802.11b/g traffic on the 2.4GHz radio. This will prevent slowdown that can occur when legacy clients coexist with 802.11n clients.
So yes, you're correct to say that it does work better in 5GHz. The nice thing is that most 802.11n chips in laptops support this band.
That said, it would be best if voice and data can both exist in the 5GHz space. You can accomplish this by creating different SSIDs for your voice and data networks. There is nothing wrong with deploying both in 5GHz.
Let me know if you have anymore questions. Thanks!

Apple AirPort Express Base Station with 802.11n - MB321LL/A. How to set it up to my new iMac

Community:
How do you set up an
Apple AirPort Express Base Station with 802.11n - MB321LL/A how do you set up on Mac running on OS X 10.9.4?
Please advise
Fmsalazar

Apple did say it was important.
If the units do not show up in the airport utility then you must set it correctly to link-local.
Steps for OS X Lion or Mountain Lion
This can happen if IPv6 has been disabled. To enable IPv6 for your network interface:
Choose Apple menu () > System Preferences, and then click Network.
If a lock icon appears in the lower-left corner, click it and enter your admin name and password to unlock the pane.
Click your network service (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) in the list, and then click Advanced.
Click the TCP/IP tab.
Choose Link-local only from the Configure IPv6 pop-up menu.
Click OK.
Click Apply.
AirPort base station not seen or "An unexpected error occurred" appears in AirPort Utility 6.3
Apple rep says the same.
Re: Unexpected error when connecting Airport Express A1264 to Airport Utility 6.3.1
I am searching as I saw it in a thread today where a person had issues. (No contribution from me in the thread but found that was the issue).
It is kind of a fail safe.. since auto can end up with any setting.. and it will depend on the setting of ipv6 in the Airport Router if it works properly in the computer.. setting it to the correct value is one step in sorting out problems when people get in a mess.

I am experiencing some major problems with my MacBook Pro. I have had some issues with it turning on/off at random times, but today, when starting, I get the grey start-up screen and a recovery bar. After filling in approx 1/4 of the way, the machine dies

I am experiencing some major problems with my MacBook Pro. I have had some issues with it turning on/off at random times, but today, when starting, I get the grey start-up screen and a recovery bar. After filling in approx 1/4 of the way, the machine dies. After starting it in recovery mode, it will not allow me to download OS X Mavericks- it says the disk is locked. Any ideas? I do not have a back-up and do not want to erase everything before I have explored my options. Help?

try forcing internet recover, hold 3 keys - command, option, r - you should see a spinning globe
most people will tell you to do both pram and smc resets (google) and if you still have issues, either clean install (easy) or troubleshoot (hard)

10.9.3 = major problem with fast user switching

I've found a major problem with the 10.9.3 update with my 27" iMac, you probably won't see it if your on a laptop. I did all the updates in past few days i.e., 10.9.3 combo update, iTunes 11.2.1.
Afterward I noticed a bug when Fast User Switching i.e. FUS. I have 5 accounts but the bug can be replicated with only 2.
I login to userA have some windows open but you can just open a Finder window. Now make the window at least half the with of the screen and move it to the right side of the screen. Then login in to userB and setup the windows the same way as userA. Now FUS to userA and then back to userB. You will notice that the Finder window has been moved to the upper left corner of the screen. This problem happened's to all user accounts you login to except the first account you logged into.
Since I didn't know what update caused the problem I had to use Time Machine to revert to my last version of 10.9.2. I then double checked the for the bug and sure enough everything was working fine. I now was going to install one update at a time and to see which one was causing the bug. So I installed 10.9.3 first and found the bug immediately.
I now know what's happening. When the switch occurs the screen is resized to about the equivalent of a 13" MBP. At this point the windows that fall some ware outside that size get moved to the upper left corner and resized. Then the screen resizes to normal but it's too late, all the window have moved and been resized to fit the 13" screen size.
You can reproduce this effect by going to System Preferences and selecting Display and then select the Scaled radio button. No select the smallest size, say, 1280 x 720. Now select the Best for display radio button again. You will now see all the windows you have open that were too big no moved and resized to the upper left corner. I know why the Mac moves the windows, it's so you don't have any windows stuck off screen.
Now when I say 13" it could be some other size but it's about that size give or take.

Yes, it's when you user Fast User Switching.
Here's snapshot before the screen resized. Ignore the window in the lower right, I moved it from the upper left before taking the screen shot.
I hate to say it but I'm glad I'm not the only one with this bug.

I am having major problems with my trackpad on my macbook pro. I can no longer press down on the bottom left and right corners for it to click and follow my command. Please can anyone help?

Major problems with Premiere CS4

Hello there!
I'm having major problems with CS4. I recently bought a new computer - essentials are as follows:
Intel Core i7 920 2.66GHz
2 x Kingston 3x2GB, DDR3 1333MHz (=12 GB RAM)
Ati Radeon HD 5770 v2
Asus P6T SE, LGA1366, X58, DDR3, ATX
2 x 500GB, Barracuda 7200.12 (RAID1), system disk
2 x 1TB Barracuda 7200.12, media disks
Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
Adobe CS4 Production Premium + latest updates
The problem I have has mostly to do with Premiere although I think the rest of Production Premium softwares should be running better on this computer as well.
For starters, I was highly disappointed when I couldn't view a single HD clip from the Premiere timeline (it was an .m2ts rip from a previously self-burned Bluray disc) at all. Rendering is very slow and even after that the video doesn't run normally, showing just a few individual frames per second. When I point the timeline at a certain spot, it takes many seconds until even that very frame is shown in the monitor window.
And this is not all - I decided to try with a basic DV AVI clip, previously captured with my PPro 1.5 on my earlier computer (3.2ghz Pentium from 2005). It's a native file so it doesn't even need rendering and still the same problem occurs. With normal playback only about 6-10 frames are shown per second. It's absolutely ridiculous - even my 2004 laptop runs DV AVIs more smoothly with PPro 1.5.
While I'm running the Premiere, the level of used RAM comes only up to around 24 percents. The processor, then again, comes close to a hundred when play is pressed on the timeline.
I haven't had such immense problems with other Production Premium softwares (though as I said, I think they should be running faster as well). Otherwise the computer is running smoothly.
A friend of mine pointed out that the graphics card I'm using isn't on the Adobe website's list of supported ones with Premiere, but afaik it shouldn't even be a graphics card problem with this high-end machinery.
So - I sure could use some help and ideas about how to get the Premiere working. My main intention for buying a new computer and Adobe CS4 Production Premium was to start HD editing after all! Thanks beforehand!

Hi
Yeah, I hope he solves problem and knows how it got solved and tells us all...it's like being a detective ! " Mr Plum did it in the "svchost" room ! "
I got a little lost on this....
You are welcome and I'm glad that it paid off so nicely for you. One more suggestion, if I may: I'm a big fan of a fixed pagefile size. When making a fresh install of Windows, one of my first actions is to set a fixed pagefile on a different disk (min=max) before installing anything else on that different disk and removing the pagefile on the C drive. This will ensure that the pagefile in on the fastest part of the drive and will never be fragmented.
I think it used to be that I made swapfiles, or swapdisks which now seems to be called pagefile. That in itself is a little confusing semantic wise, because of the use of mempage stuff. It used to be that base memory was 640k, with the upper memory (to make up 1024 kb) was mostly for drivers and stuff. If more memory was needed than 640k (an event the inventor never thought possible... "who could want more than the enormous amount of 640K ?", he said..)..the extended and expanded memory got invented to swap memory pages from that 640k as needed with the rest of RAM. That's basically correct right ? Sooooo, I don't know if that still goes on, but I suspect it does, unless someone totally changes the architecture of the computer and cpu and fsb and everything... but I don't know what is going on nowadays. Anyway, there were other ways besides windows OS to create virtual memory on the hard drive, and Photoshop was one of the programs that could do that, I think.
Why MS would want to call the swapdisk virtual memory "pagefile" is beyond me.
Anyway, be that as it may, I understand that making the pagefile first on a drive so it's close to the center of the drive (heads don't have to travel far to access). But I haven't added a lot of drives to a system before, and I suspect I will be pretty soon...and this is the part I don't get...
You add drives and put OS on them? So they are bootable ? I've added a drive or two but just formatted and used as more storage but didn't put OS on them. So that part is confusing...
Then you take the pagefile off the C: drive ? Are you then using the new drive as your boot drive and the C: drive is too full to use accept to run the programs already installed ?
Thanks again !

Major problems with CS5

We just moved to CS5 and are having major problems with crashing and losing text. I haven't seen these kind of issues since beginning the Indesign/Incopy workflow way back in CS2. I've got dozens of users (Indesign and Incopy) slamming me with complaints of crashing. Indesign crashes when exporting to Incopy (usually when exporting a layer), Incopy users are complaining of crashing when peforming copy/paste either from Word or from within Incopy. Also have had incidents where the text in the Incopy story just disappears or the stories corrupt and will not open in the layout or as a standalone file. Trying to open one will crash the application.
Other departments in our organization who do not use Incopy are not experiencing crashing issues with Indesign CS5, so I have to believe the problem is Incopy.

Try moving everything to a local harddrive and working on a file there. If you don't get the crashing then you can start checking the network. And please, one thread is enough.

The iPhone warranty is not international. If you bought it in the US you can only get service in the US. You will need to take it in to an Apple store in the US.

Strange major problem with 975X PowerUp Intel MOBO

I’m suddenly having a strange major problem with a MSI 975X Platinum PowerUP Edition V2.1 MS-7246 Intel socket 775 motherboard. Previously, it had given me no problems at all.
It went like this:
Powered on system in the morning, booting from a cold start.
Hit DEL key to get into the BIOS.
Missed the window and the system booted into Windows normally.
Re-started the system from within Windows.
Hit DEL key to get into the BIOS and was successful the second time.
Hit the ENTER key on the first item “Standard CMOS Features”.
The DATE, TIME and other information was displayed on the next screen, but at this point, the BIOS screen became completely unresponsive to any keyboard input.
The only thing I could do at that point was to power off.
Subsequent power on boot-ups resulted in the system always freezing at the BIOS splash screen after the video card sign-on.
I have switched power supplies, hard drives, keyboards and video cards. I have disconnected everything except the video card, keyboard and one RAM module. I have switched the four RAM modules around and then reduced the RAM to one 256MB module in the proper slot. I even changed the battery on the MOBO, in case it had shorted out and removed and re-seated the BIOS chip. It still halts at the BIOS splash screen.
The BIOS chip can’t be completely dead, because I powered off and pushed the BIOS reset button on the MOBO to reset the BIOS to the factory defaults. When I re-booted, I could tell that it had actually reset to the factory defaults because I had previously set the BIOS to reboot the system on resumption of power and the factory default was to remain off until the power button was pushed, which was now the default.
I’m stumped! All I can think of is to get a new pre-programmed BIOS chip and see if that makes any difference, but I’m not sure this system is even worth the expense with no guarantee of success. Any suggestions on how I might get past the BIOS splash screen or do I for sure have a corrupt BIOS chip?

System specs as per the posting guidelines -
Board: MSI 975X Platinum PowerUP Edition V2.1 MS-7246 Intel socket 775
Bios: Version (can’t recall & can’t check since it won’t go past the BIOS splash screen)
VGA: ASUS EN7600GS nVidia GeForce 7600GS PCI-e 256MB DDR2 (also tried new XFX nVidia
Geforce 210 PCI-e 2.0 512MB DDR3)
PSU: Chiefmax 680W ATX (also tried new OCZ 700W ATX)
CPU: Intel 2.8GHz LGA-775 Core2 Duo Dual-Core Processor
MEM: 4 x Samsung 512MB 1Rx8 PC2-5300U (2GB total)
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 250GB SATA2 (also tried Seagate Barracuda 500GB SATA2)
COOLER: Intel OEM LGA 775 fan/heatsink C25897-001
OC: No
OS: Vista Home Premium 32-bit
I have been through the BIOS reset procedure several times and pretty much as outlined. As I said before, I could tell that it had taken a reset to the factory defaults, because the power on option had changed.

I had a major problem with my PC yesterday, and subsequently had to reload Mozilla Foxfire. When reloaded, it opened with "Welcome to AOL - Mozilla Foxfire". I don't want AOL associated or tagged with Foxfire. I went in to "Programs and Files" and deleted everything with AOL, including Quicktime. Tried loading Foxfire again, but it still opened with AOL tagged. I do use AOL for emails and some browsing, but I want to use Foxfire soley for browsing and search engine. And yes, I did also reload AOL. Can't seem to figure out why AOL is tagging onto Foxfire. Hopefully I have not lost all of my Foxfire Bookmarks - that would really suck.

Anyone else having major problems with Safari 5.1 on Snow Leopard?

is anyone else having major problems with Safari 5.1 on Snow Leopard?
- address bar and search box are not resizing with browser window. the address bar and seach box set their size to the window when Safari is launched and remain that size.
- anytime i try to customize toolbar items disappear and i have to restart Safari to get them to appear.
- some 3rd party icons just remove themselves from the toolbar after a period of time
- when i drag a page from the tab bar to create it's own browser window the window disappears but is listed in the windows menu bar. when i select that window from the menu bar the window appears but i can't click on anything.
I've repaired permissions numerous times, reinstalled safari numerous times and restarted my machine numerous times and the issues all remain. i've never had any issues with Safari until now and 5.1 is looking like a huge mess.
besides the bugs above, has anyone had any luck with 1password working with Safari 5.1?

ok, i narrowed most of my issues down to Web Snapper and Videobox by TastyApps. Removed both of those and now everything works better.
I went out to lunch and came back an hour later and magically ALL of my previous toolbar icons that were added to my previous version of Safari appeared. Very strange.
as for 1password, it wasn't working at all before when i posted. everytime i tried installing the extension via the app my, Safari would open a window and hang (never load). I just tried it again and it seems to now be working.
