Temporary fix as per Apple Product specialist OSX 10.5.8 WIFI fix

I just worked for about an hour with an Apple Product specialist and verified the problem and resolved it with the following steps which are a temporary fix until Apple releases a permanent fix:
Verified battery performance much lower WIFI only than on power.
Temporary fix:
1. Open Finder
2. Go to /system/library/extensions
3. Open Time Machine in the above folder on the date prior to the upgrade in my case Aug 4 09
4. Restore:
- appleairport.kext
- I080211family.kext (start is eye oh not one zero)
Tests and all performance fully restored

It has in my case and my roommates but our wireless chip set is the same even though his is a March 09 Macbook Pro and mine is an Oct 08 Macbook Pro. The Apple fellow was able to determine this by the three logs I sent him and then he told me what files to replace.
All is now perfect with both our machines. Your machine might have different hardware and thus be affected differently by this upgrade.
Apple is working on a fix but who knows when it will be released.

Apple Product connection to Internet via a Wifi Router on a Class B Network

Hi, I am trying to connect my Apple devices to the Internet on a Class B network via a WiFi Router. My devices did connect via the same Wifi Router when it was on an A Class Network (which has changed to B Class), so don't suspect router.
Is there a configuration change required on the Router or Apple device to make it work on the B-Net?
Any advice appreciated.
Regards
Matt

Hey MattnDonna!
You may want to make sure your wireless network conforms to the following settings:

Is there an apple product I can buy to get wifi on the move do I can use FaceTime, Is there an apple product I can buy to get wifi on the move do I can use FaceTime

I am looking for a solution to using fact time on the move. I have an iPad with wifi & 3G but am unable to use FaceTime when I about and about. Does anyone know how I can do this.
Thanks

You would need to have an iPad with 3G, and pay for cellular data service for it. If you have a wifi-only iPad, you simply cannot access the Internet anywhere that there is no wifi network available. You could tether it to a wifi hotspot created by a smartphone, though having a smartphone significantly reduces the need for FaceTime, I would think.

The song I downloaded (Slayer, Criminally Isane) cuts off about 3 seconds before the ending, I have tried re-downloding per apple support directions with the same results. What further actions may I take to fix this issue?

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

Go to http://www.apple.com/asia/support/mac/app-store/ , click on 'iTunes Store Account and Billing' then 'Billing Enquiries' to get a link to email them. Ask them whether there is a way you can purchase Apps, perhaps by nominating one of the listed countries (Vietnam, for example).

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

i have OSX 10.5.8. How do i update that so i can sync with current apple products?

Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?

It appears as if my startup disk has been reversed and not using the fusion ssd portion as it should. At least its now reversed as to what it used to be originally before. the 128gb ssd used to be on top. Is my mac booting fusion correctly? Thank you for responding as I was about to reformat.

Why isn't my ios7 compatible with iOS 10.5.8 this is ridiculous I spent a lot of money on all my apple products just to have to buy an iOS upgrade to sync my music

All my products are apple I just bought iPhone 5 which is ios7 my iMac is osx 10.5.8. Apple are you kidding me that I have to upgrade to a new osx just to upload my music from my osx 10.5.8???? Must you selfishly greedily make me upgrade just to upload my songs from iTunes? Bert dissappointed in you apple. Why not just make iTunes compatible with the ios7????? Really?? You need to fix this problem make iTunes from my osx 10.5.8 compatible with my iPhone ios7. ***? Frustrating that an apple product is not compatable with another apple product which I spent ridiculous amounts of money for both my iMac and iPhone 5 isn't it enough that I spent ober 2000$ on my iMac and my iPhone just to have it not able to upload my songs??? What do u suggest I do buy snow leopard? Really? If you don't fix this problem how can you expect anyone to keep buying your product I mean come on I know marketing strategies and whatnot but if I spent 2000 + on my iPhone and IMAc should it not at least allow me to use my iTunes with my brand new iPhone and why not just make a dl for 10.5.8 do you really need me to buy snow leapord? Really? What is the meaning of this it is very frustrating seem like you guys purposefully make me and everyone spend more money for no reason.

1) The people responding in this forum are just other Apple product users like you, not Apple itself. Apple Support Communities is primarily an end-user to end-user (i.e., users like you helping other users) technical issue support feature. Feedback will truly get more attention if you send it using:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
2) At some stage developers decide it isn't worth the expense of supporting older technology. If I had my way you could still connect iOS7 to OS9, but Apple has decided to make the limit OS 10.6.8 Nor do I like that I can't get spare parts for my 33 year old car...
Suggestions...
If you are not going to always be running the newest technology always read software requirements before doing any upgrades. I run a 12 year old computer and yes, I see there are things I can't run (many), but I also then avoid buying any incompatible new technology. The system requirements are printed on the side of the box (albeit in 9 point medium gray font on light gray box ) Do not expect the Apple Store people to check with you about your computer first. I bet half of them were still in grade school when my computer was produced and none of them could possibly imagine anybody would run anything older than 6 years (probably not even that, more like 4).
Why not buy Snow Leopard? Of course you do not say what model computer you are using, but if you can run Snow Leopard on your computer there's no advantage to staying with Leopard. Snow Leopard costs $20 which is minimal compared to you now no longer being able to sync your phone.
Snow Leopard disc source - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
I'd swear I posted almost this identical post two hours ago...
If you can't/don't want to upgrade your computer, you have 30 days to return the phone I believe.
