Which pcmcia wifi card to get for pb17" with Airport already installed?

Title says it all really... after 3 years the airport connection to all 3 of my apple base stations (1 X new airport extreme and 2 X airport expresses) is pathetic
Thought about a USB wifi stick - but that sticks out too much - would prefer to get a pcmcia card as I don't use it for anything else
So anyone have experience of which one to get?
Note that i've got airport express already installed in the pb - so would need to disable that or something - prefer it to be compatible without having to remove it - cos it's easier that way
Thanks all

guess everyone is off in the MacBook forums!

Which Macbook Pro should i get for use with Solidworks?

I want to get a Macbook Pro but unsure whether to go for the higher end 13 inch or the lower end 15 inch.
I will be running Solidworks(CAD) a lot as im in my final year of an engineering degree.
Has anyone got either and had any problems etc?
Thanks

Yes, the MBP you've suggested will do fine with MainStage but at the same time, I'd recommend you getting the fastest machine you can realistically afford as MS is still a very resource-hungry beast.....especially once you get to know it and decide that you want to do extra stuff that you didn't originally intend to do with it!
I also run a MOTU Ultralite MK3 and can recommend this as a very good bang-for-buck interface.....especially the new hybrid model (which I don't have) that has both firewire AND USB. Apart from Apogee interfaces - which are apparently phenomenal (and phenomenally expensive!) - I've also heard extremely good things about the RME Fireface 400 and 800 interfaces.
But back to the MOTU Ultralite MK3: it has heaps of I/O, is half-rack space (so very portable), is bus-powered (with A/C option), has onboard DSP FX, the latency is very low, is easy to set up and use, and is quite affordable for what you're getting. And MOTU is pretty good with tech support and the drivers are very high quality. Can't go wrong, really.
The only other thing I'll mention about using a MBP is that having a decent screen size can really help if you're using it live at gigs. I have the current top of the line 17" model and really notice the screen size difference compared to friends who have the 13" or 15" models.....there's a HUGE difference in screen "real estate" with the 17" screen.
BTW, it's rumored that Apple will soon be announcing the next MBP models and so you may want to wait till the end of April before you decide to buy something.

Please help on which audigy 2 card to buy for use with logic audio plati

Hello, i'm wondering if the audigy 2 zs card is good to use in my home studio setup? I use logic audio platinum and already have a unitor 8 midi interface so i don't think (question)i need a breakoutbox version of the audigy 2. I used to have a audiowork 8 pci soundcard but that always gave me problems when playing a game (at least most games).Hope someone can help me with this since i realy wanna hook up my equipment to my new computer (dell dimension 3000 with onboard sound)Message Edited by amsterdammusic on 2-5-2004 02:03 PM

i would be you and if you can afford go for the macpro (2008 the 2009 seems to have some incompatilities cf. other thread). By experience allow yourself to have some margin, i mean more cpu power (one day you will maybe use heavy plugins or synth instruments from 3th party software) and this is killing the cpu. So more is always better. It takes me more than 6 months (start last year) to setup my macpro to a stable stage and now i am so happy it can runs without any big problem everything i want. (ex i use superior 2 as an internal synth instrument in Logic (not as standalone, to have the maximum control within logic, and i load it as multitrack instrument, it taxes 40 % of a single core - and because of synth instrument, only one core will function, and i can record without problem 2 guitarists (using GTR3.5), the drummer on a e-drum superior 2.0, a bassist with gtr3.5 and a vocal with buss reverb, in low latency mode - buffer 128- the cpu core reach about 80 %, without soft instrument than you have almost no limit cause all your core will be actifs, i mean recording just audio.).
Hope you understand what i mean here..

Hi Quinn7,
Was the one which you were upgrading from a Educational version? If so, that might be related. I'd recommend reaching out to our support for assistance. I think there is a link for chat or phone on the bottom of the plans page: Creative Cloud pricing and membership plans | Adobe Creative Cloud

How do I export v-card formatted files for use with either Numbers or Excel?

How do I export v-card formatted files for use with either Numbers or Excel?

Did you open Automator and just look around?
Actions are listed in the left pane.
You drag them into the workflow on the right in the order you need to process the items that you want.
If this is a on-off requirement, just make a Workflow. If you plan to use it often, make it an Application.
If you want to select the contacts you want to export, use a get Selected action. You'd then select the contacts in Contacts App before running the workflow.
I'm not on a Mac to take screenshots, so you'll have to look at Automator's help or google for more info.

I currently have a D-Link DI-604 broadband router with windows computers. How can I add wifi to the network for use with ipad? Can I use AirPort Express?

I currently have a D-Link DI-604 broadband router with windows computers. How can I add wifi to the network for use with ipad? Can I use AirPort Express?

Yes. You can directly connect an 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) using an Ethernet cable. The AXn would then just need to be configured as a bridge to allow the D-Link to continue to provide both NAT & DHCP services for all network clients connected to either router.
In this configuration, the AXn would broadcast a wireless network for your wireless network clients to connect to.

I cannot get time machine (with airport) to back up my mac. It worked previously but not now. It is working on my macbook. the message i get is "Time Machine couldn't back up to '(airport network name)'"

I cannot get time machine (with airport) to back up my mac. It worked previously but not now. It is working on my macbook. the message i get is "Time Machine couldn't back up to '(airport network name)'" Any help is appreciated.

OS is important.. What OS is on Mac and what is on the working macbook?
Was the Airport setup from the Macbook? That might be why it works from there..
Does the AE show up in Mac airport utility?
Can you mount the disk in finder and copy files to it/from it??
Did you try a TM reset after mounting in Finder.. so you know it is available?
What about a network reboot.. does it work post a restart for a few minutes/hours/days???

Which video card to get for my late 2005 Dual 2.0 G5

Sorry if this has been answered in others posts. I have been a bit confused on what card I should be getting for my G5.
I have a late 2005 model (last generation of the PPC) and it came with a 6600LE PCIe 128mb card.
I would like to get a better video card (256 or 512) but I don't want to break the bank. I read about the ATI x1900 but I wasn't sure what the differences were between the two versions. There seems to be an x1900 MAC edition and an x1900 XT. Can someone let me know which card I need and whether or not there are other choices that might be cheaper.
Thanks.

I recently purchased an ATI Radeon 9600 Pro PC & Mac edition and installed it in a PowerMac G5 2.0 DP to power a 30" Apple Display ... installed easily and worked perfectly. It was $186.98 at Amazon, but is currently unavailable there; $204.99 at Small Dog. Here is the detailed description:

Driver update problem - which new nVidia card to buy for Mac?

I have an old NVidia GEForce 9400 M driver running in a Mac OS X Mavericks Version 10.9.5, that will not work for Creative Cloud and I can not find an updated driver. Any suggestions as to what NVidia graphic card I should replace it with if a driver update can not be found?

Wifi card cannot start (Code 10) with 4 port USB2.0 hub inserted

Hello,
I could use some help with the following:
I have an IBM Thinkpad 390X 2626 L0A with 512MB and W2K SP4, for internet/networking I use an Wifi card with an Atheros AR2413A chipset. This setup works great but recently I bought a 4 port USB2.0 hub cardbus with a VIA VT612 chip.
When I insert the USB hub in the second (top) slot and conect a memory stick to it the internet/networking connection falls away. Properties in devicemanager shows: Cannot start device, Code 10.
When I restart with both cards inserted I get the same message.
When I use both cards in a Toshiba Tecra 8000 256MB and W2K SP4 they both work fine. So it looks like the cards are working fine.
I installed all the latest drivers and BIOS for the Thinkpad and for the cards.
My questions are:
Is there anyone with the same problem.
Is there a kown solution. Maybe some changes in the registry.
Could a program like CardWizard help.
Any other advice is also welcome.
Thanks,
Antoine

Glad to be joining ship.
I also thought about an IRQ conflict. But W2K SP4 should be able to handle that and actually doesn't allow you to manually change IRQ settings. Device manager shows both cards on/with IRQ 7. Maybe there is something I can do with the PCI manager in Configuration Manager but I wouldn't know what. It just reads Device 1,3,4 on IRQ 11 en Device 2 on IRQ 5.
I think it is most likely a power issue, since the Wifi-card uses (relatively) a lot of power. Using Configuration Manager I already shut down all not used ports (serial, parallel, joystick, IR and modem) and I also tried disabling the PCI power management in BIOS.
I'm looking for a tweak (registry) to boost the power to the pcmcia slots or just the slot containing the wifi-card, or to assign a different IRQ to each slot/device. Also I would like to try the Card Wizard program that was available for the NT versions.

PCMCIA ethernet card (wired) that will work with 10.4 tiger?

i have unfortunately fried my ethernet port on my 1.33 al powerbook (applecare expired). I must use an ethernet PC adapter card that will work with Tiger 10.4.
The Dlink adapter although mention OSX support only works until 10.3.9.
Anyone here got suggestions as to which PC card to get?

Check Cisco. Also Google your need, i.e. "ethernet pc card and Mac". You should be able to research from there.

Which Mac Mini should I buy for use with a 65 inch Panasonic GT30?

Im very interested in surfing the web from the comfort of my Lay Z boy. I have a 65inch Panasonic GT30 tv along with an Onkyo TXNR609 av receiver that handles everything (DirecTV, PS3, X360, Wii, Apple TV). My only concern is the lag issue in dealing with the big display. Should I buy the base modle with the slower processor and upgrade the RAM? Or should I buy the i7 and rock out that way? I can afford either but would like to spend the least considering this isnt going to be the main computer in my house. Thanks for any advice!!

If you ever (*ever*) want to fire up a serious 3D game (one with a 2010+ appetite for GPU power), go for the midrange model with the real videocard. If you only want to browse the web, maybe do some flash, things like that, the low end model has enough videocard for that. That Mini has the same Intel HD Graphics 3000 as my MBA13/2011 does, and that is currently driving my external 24" 1920x1200 screen just fine. Your TV is 1920x1080, so that even though it may have a lot more inches, it has fewer pixels than that, and it's the pixels that cost GPU power, not the inches. Size doesn't matter, its what you do with it!
Since you're comfortable upgrading the ram yourself, obviously put in 8 or 16 instead of the 2 or 4 it comes with. The pricing on that ram is insanely low right now and while I'd personally go for the 16 on a desktop machine, I reckon for your intended usage 8 is well more than sufficient (4 would probably work, it does on aforementioned MBA13 after all), and it's about $50ish difference which is not nothing.
If you can live with a small capacity drive, and are willing to open up the Mini further than just the base cover over the ram, I'd recommend getting a 128 GB SSD and installing it. The Apple price for the 256GB SSD, only on the midrange, is probably not worth it. You can even get a second-hard-drive-kit from one of the two well-known vendors and add the SSD while keeping the existing drive as an internal storage drive.
P.S.: I don't actually believe in CPU upgrades. Even when you start with the midrange, the i7 is still $100 and that will also buy you that SSD, or get you most of the way to that SSD plus the second hard drive kit. The difference in performance between the i5 at 2.5 and the i7 at 2.7 is really pretty darn minimal, so as long as you're choosing to do one thing and not the other, get the SSD before the CPU upgrade, no question. If you wanna go full-option balls-to-the-wall-everything-maxed, that's another thing, just don't go for the i7 upgrade as the first thing.
P.P.S.: Now that the 2012 MBAs and traditional MBPs are out, it seems likely that a Mac Mini refresh is coming relatively soon which contains an Ivy Bridge CPU and chipset (which means USB3 and HD4000), a more capable discrete GPU in the versions that have them, and (speculation tempered with hope) one of those new 35W TDP Quadcores in the midrange model, possibly as the CPU upgrade (pretty please, Apple?). It might be worth waiting for. On the other hand, waiting for new computer hardware is also a chump's game. There's *always* something better around the corner.
