    Ask yourself a question.
    How fast is your internet connection?
    If it is is 1-2-8 mb speed then you dont need 'n'.
    If you transfer personal info between computers fast speeds allowed up to 54 will save you time.
    'n' is to provide greater range like Mimo and increased transfer speeds.
    But do you really need it?
    No,if you dont transfer huge data,
    Yes, if you want to transfer (stream video from your iTV from Mac if you spend most of your day in front of TV.
    There is no substitute for a good reliable connection.
    In my real world experience because I only have a 8mb ADSL connection 'g' is not the strongest and most reliable scenario to use. During the last airport update my last 3 years of uninterrupted airport connections mixed PC and Macs on WDS set up went belly up and I had posted my thoughts as well with the relevant results and now set up is fine. But at a price.
    Downgraded to all on 'b' and now use my Draytek Vigor 2800VG and have AEBS put away in storage.
    My signal and range is out of this world. When I decide that I have enough free time to sit in front of a TV and download movies and watch them when I have nothing better to do such as travel the world etc. etc., that is the time I will go for speed...or will I.
    Dont get bamboozled by the hype. If you really want one wait for a year then decide. Let others solve the teething problems as is there want.

    Check the Boot ROM Version in your System Profiler at this link:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237                       
    MacBooks with a Model ID of MacBook5,1 should have  a Boot ROM version of MB51.007D.B03.
    If your Boot ROM version does not match the numbers above, download the appropriate
    For MacBooks (MacBook5,1)
                MacBook EFI Firmware Update 1.4 (Apple.com Download)
    Once you have ensured that the Boot ROM is the correct version,
    make sure your Operating System is updated to Mac OS X v10.6.6.
    You must be running Snow Leopard to address 8GB on these systems.

    I bought this computer with no disks, upgraded to Lion
    Replacement System Discs can be obtained from Apple's Customer Support - US (800) 767-2775 for a nominal fee. You'll need to have the model and serial number of your Mac available. 
    If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html
    for some reason AHT wasn't installed
    AHT is included in system disc #1.

    You can use the two graphics cards, but it's only useful if you have more than two displays. It won't give you higher speed.

    I don't think so, because this is not about garageband specificaly, it's about the mac using internal speakers and iphone headset microphone at the same time. Input Microphone via Jack and Output speakers on the laptop.

  • How to setup the airport extreme for window xp

    How to setup the airport extreme for window xp

    Sorry, I forgot to mention a few points:
    1) I don't have the Airport Extreme base station;
    2) My PowerBook is connect to the internet thru wired connection with the Built-in Ethernet;
    3) The Airport is turned on, but my PSP's scan cannot locate the PowerBook at all (while it find someone else's network)
    So, I wonder if I can just connect my PSP to the built-in Airport in the PowerBook directly. So that I can have internet access on my PSP.

    My 20" 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo had become almost useless due to freezes and crashes- with NO crash reports in the logs.
    They were often preceeded by video glitches, so I assumed it was a bad video card- unfortunately soldered to mother board.
    Apparently, from forum postings, this is not an uncommon problem. The computer would run longer if the day was cooler, but rarely more than 10 minutes, so I suspected it was aggravated by heat.
    Then I found this post from Bodomann on an Apple Support forum:
    "Following up on my previous posting regarding my son's late model 2006 iMac that required a $900 logic board replacement:
    Turns out the problem is apparently related to a bad CPU temp sensor. I installed 'iMac Fan Control' (Google it) which reported the CPU temp always at 32 degrees Fahrenheit (obviously incorrect). The same software allowed me to adjust the CPU fan manually. After multiple trials I set the CPU speed to 2800RPM after which the system would run forever - never freezing with the dreaded grey box 'reboot me' screen. I tried several times reverting the software to default speeds and the system would always crash within 10 minutes. "
    I downloaded free Fan Control 1.2 for Imac from Derman Enterprises (they have an Intel iMac and a Mac Book/Pro version). It installs as a system preferences control panel. I cranked up all three fan speeds. The fans sped up noticeably. Horizontal lines have gone from screen (so far), no color artifacts and no crashes yet. I may have a real computer back! Hope Apple checks this out-
    The control panel also gives the temps sensors are reporting at the CPU, hard drive and DVD drive. The CPU sensor reports the CPU temp as 32 degrees F- which is clearly wrong, unless Apple has been installing little refrigerators inside.
    So thanks to Bodomann for posting- Hats off and three cheers to Derman and Cristoph for source code.

    Thanks again for your help Rod!
    One of the first things I tried was different combinations of devices to see if it may have been the device just not powering up. The main device I use is an official Apple wired keyboard, because at home I connect my MBP to my monitor and use a separate keyboard and mouse. I have tried other devices too with the same result, they only work when the dock is connected. I have tried connecting my iPhone via USB cable, i have a 16GB SanDisk Cruzer flash drive, which only lights up if the dock is connected, and I have a 4 port USB hub with a power LED on it, which again only lights up when the dock is connected.
    I looked in system profiler, and it says the USB ports are there, but doesn't recognise any devices plugged in, other than the dock. However, when the dock is plugged in, for example, it recognises the Apple keyboard in the other port.
    I took two screen shots, one of system profiler without the dock plugged in (USB keyboard still plugged in but not showing up), and another of when I plugged the dock in.
    Without Dock:
    With Dock:
    It might be worth pointing out that the HDD dock has two USB ports on it, which is what is highlighted in the second pic.
    I have also tried rebooting the computer with devices already attached but with the same result again. I've tried booting it with the dock and the keyboard attached, with just the keyboard, with just the dock, but either way unless the dock is connected, nothing else will work via USB.
    I just want to say thanks again Rod, it's very kind of you to spend your time trying to help me, and it is really appreciated!
    I'm going to contact Apple support shortly and see if they can offer a solution, or see if I can send it in for repair, which I am reluctant to do seeing as it's my only computer
    Cheers!
    Gav
