Nov 29, 2009

bought the newest airport extreme after my DIR-655 modem crapped out on me. I was surprised to see that the touted feature of MIMO is not supported by any of the current Macs.

Apple :: Airport Extreme Card

Sep 20, 2009

I work with my mac (Macbook Unibody Late 2008) and my buddy with his crappy netbook running Windows XP. It seems that his netbook is able to find significally more wireless networks than I can get with my airport card. The networks we both can find, his netbook always has a FAR better signal than what my Macbook and pull. Can anybody let me know if theres some kind of issue with my airport card or is there something i dont know about with wireless networks....

Apple :: AirPort Extreme/Express - No WiFi

Nov 7, 2009

I had WiFi with my trusty AirPort Extreme...until I installed AirPort Express. Now I have a whopping nothing!

AirPort Express keeps blinking the amber light of death (with internet connected), and will not transmit a signal. {Yes I have troubleshooted this thing over and over again to no avail}.

I have also switched the internet cable back over to my trusty AirPort Extreme, which will give me a green light, which promptly throws my network name into the list of available networks, but there is no signal strength displayed (in bars) and the Mac cannot connect to it.

I hope someone out there in MacLand might have a possible solution before both of these non-working airport devices find themselves flying out the window!

Apple :: Airport Extreme Base Station

May 4, 2010

I setup the dual band Airport extreme station a few weeks ago and my Macbooks Pros have been working no problems. Blazing speeds.

When it comes to my 2 desktop PCs, though, a lot of problems.

My one PC connects and says it is connected, but the internet does not work. The page does not display at all.

My other PC (which Im on right now), also connects, but only Firefox works. IE does not display the page. I think FIrefox does work on both PCs, I just dont have it installed on the first one to verify.

What is going on? Even my iphone works flawlessly.

Apple :: Airport Extreme - Message - The Network You Selected Cannot Be Extended

Jul 4, 2009

I just got my Airport Extreme router, and I set up a wireless network easily. However, it doesn't cover the whole house.

So I have another router (Asus WL-530G) and I am thinking of using either of the two routers as a base and the other one as an extender.

I have tried extending the Asus network with the Airport.I got this message:"The network you selected cannot be extended"

I tried setting up a WDS network with Airport Extreme as main, remote or relay. None worked, it said no other apple airport device can be found.

Is this a compatibility issue, or did i miss something?

Dell :: Corsair X256 Extreme SSD & E6400 Compatible?

Apr 6, 2010

Is anyone running the Corsair X256 SSD with an E6400 without any problems?

I recently replaced my stock drive with the X256 SSD (love the speed) Everything worked beautifully for three day, on the fourth... "No bootable devices found, please reseat your hard drive" message appears at morning boot.

I reseat the drive and boots fine. Next day, same thing... I found myself reseating the drive every morning multiple reseats at times. Appears to happen every morning and when resuming from sleep.

I have the latest drives, chipset, BIOS, you name it. I posted on Crosair's Forum and was advised to disable sleep mode. I did and problem still occurs. Today Dell sent out a tech to replace my motherboard, I guess I'll know tonight or tomorrow if the cause was the Mobo.

Anyone successfully running an SSD on their system?

Apple :: CPUs In New Macbooks

Jan 11, 2009

it looks like they have only a 2.0 and 2.4ghz cpus. That means no new Penryns in there. At best the 2.0ghz could be what.. a T7300? My guess is that it's a T5750 or maybe T5800. Yes? The 2.4ghz means it's prob a T8300 maybe? They should have offered the P8400 on entry level the Macbook, especially with the $300 price increase. I mean the $1000 Macbook has a T8100 doesn't it? So they raised the price $300 and put an inferior CPU in it.

For the Macbook Pro starts at 2.4ghz which is prob the T8300, or maybe even a P8600? The 2.53ghz is likely a P8700? 2.66 P9600?

Apple :: Battery On New Macbooks

Apr 27, 2009

Have Apple even thought about people maybe changing the battery on the new Apple Macbooks at all when it's worn out?

It must have been their dumbest move ever that you can't replace the battery and made it integrated

How much does Apple charge you when it's time to change the battery when it's old and not working anymore?

Apple :: MBP Wireless Airport

Feb 16, 2010

I have had my 13"mbp for a few months now, and recently the internet just stops working, nothing comes up nothing disconnects, websites will just continue to say "loading" and eventually brings up the failed to open page, if I disconnect my airport and reconnect it works fine it has started to do this more and more now and usually ranges from about 5-15 minutes. One night I got extremely pissed off as it did it every 5 minutes for 1/2 an hour or so. Every now and then it will work fine for an hour or two of surfing the internet. I am pretty sure it is something with my airport and my wireless router. I have used other wireless routers and not once have I had this problem, and while I am surfing my gf can use the internet on her computer or i phone without being disconnected its just me. I have tried reseting my router and that did nothing. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do or if there is something I can check, it is an older extreme wireless G dlink router.

Apple :: Macbooks And Dual Monitor

Jul 21, 2009

I'm thinking of purchasing a new macbook with the mini display port and upon research I have gotten reall confused about cables that go into it.

The one I am looking at is the cheaper mini display to dvi-d, from what I have gathered it does not support a res higher than 1920x1200 and will not support a dvi to vga port, but what I am really worried about is will it support a dual monitor set up (one screen the laptop screen and a standard other screen that does not have a higher resolution.

So will I be fine with that port of do I have to buy the really expensive one to do so all these reviews have me really confused.

Apple :: 4 Finger Swipes On Macbooks

May 4, 2010

Once you get used to surfing the web and working on these Macbooks I find them pretty amazing. The 4 finger swipe where you can just switch between applications and screens is a really nice feature to have compared to having to move the mouse to the corners on Windows 7. For basic web surfing and switching between applications and browsers I find this feature really great to have

When someone walks in and you have something open you simply swipe 4 fingers up and your current application that is open just vanishes like magic 4 fingers back down and it comes back down again

How are you liking your 4 finger swipe feature on your Macbooks?

Apple :: Macbook - Airport Express Malfunctions

Jul 30, 2009

my girlfriend just bought the airport express and is having trouble setting it up. She said she hooked up the express to the wall and connected it to her dsl modem and then connected the modem to the ethrenet port in the wall. After install AirPort utility on hermacbookshe tried setting up the express but it can't find it. The express has a flash orange light and I read the manual and it says it can't establish a network connection. We've tried unplugging it and plugging it back in and tried multiple ethrenet cords but it still doesn't work.

Apple :: MACBOOK FREEZING When- Already 3G Connected- AIRPORT Is Just Set ON

Apr 24, 2009

On my macbook I noted that when I just switch the airport ON, in order to search for some WIFI networks, the macbook completely freezes if I have the 3G usb already connected to internet.

This happens also if the 3G pen is only searching the 3G network (after being plugged) and then I switch the airport ON.

Why does this happen?

May all people having a 3G subscription try this?

I do not understand why this occurs. I will try on Monday in the Apple store but I would like to have your help also. For your information, I have a huawey e169 3G drive.

Apple :: Effectiveness Of Cooling Pads On Unibody Macbooks

Jan 10, 2010

My friend has a 15'' unibody Macbook Pro. He's thinking about getting a cooling pad for it, and he asked me for suggestions. I said that I really couldn't advise him as Macbooks aren't built like regular laptops with the fans on the bottom. Even still, would a traditional active cooling pad lower temperatures by any significant amount, or would it not be worth it. I would usually advise anyone who asks to get a large all metal cooling pad, but if it's not going to do that much, I don't want him to waste his money.

Apple :: Does The Newer White Macbooks Discolor - Are They Easily Scratched

Jan 1, 2009

I really want to buy a black one as I prefer a matte finish and it wouldn't discolor, but I want it new and I cannot find any here in Canada, so I will have to buy a white one. This is going to be my very first mac and to me it's a lot of money... I hope it will be worth it (I'm a little nervous about the switch) .

Apple :: Snow Leopard- Airport Connection Dropping Periodically

Nov 2, 2009

NBR is better anyways

But anyways, anyone over here experiencing it?

I live at a Loft where everyone tenant has their own ATT 2wire modem. Periodically, the connection will drop and sometimes, it won't connect back. The 2wire modem at my loft WAS WPA protected and I've read that if you change it to WEP, it would solve the problem. I thought this was legitimate as my 2wire modem back home is WEP protected and my connection never dropped back at home.

So I changed it to WEP here at the Lofts and for about a day, there was no dropped connections. Now, the dropping is back even on WEP.

Apple :: Summer 2009 MacBooks Running Vista / Windows 7 (or Parallels) - Battery Life

Aug 14, 2009

Was toying with the idea of getting a 15" MacBook Pro, but as OneNote is a major application with me, dual-booting with Windows 7 like I'm running now, or using Parallels, is required.

What kind of battery life are you guys getting with Parallels / Fusion (or running Windows natively via Boot Camp)?

Dell :: New Synaptics DriverMultitouch Like Macbooks

Aug 12, 2009

just recently discovered this new driver for the 1340 (should work for the 1640 as well) and it brings A LOT of new gestures/features.

I'm not going to list out all of the new features/gestures you can do, but I've taken a screen shot of the configuration window for the touchpad to give you an idea of what it provides.

Also, I know you can enable some of these things with 3rd party apps, but now its integrated so if you're still using the Dell Driver, you're missing out!

You can get the driver here: [url]

I did a Windows experience index and the memory operations and CPU scores are 2,8 when initially they where easily over 5 in both categories, it means a great degradation

Dell :: Overclocking Core 2 Extreme

Jun 9, 2009

You can see the processor I have in my Signature, Core 2 Extreme X9000.

Basically, I've never dabbled in overclocking before. However I have been running a lot of CPU intensive programs recently, and decided it might be time to try and overclock the CPU. I have a few queries though.


1: Is it normal for the fans to be on full blast when overclocked? I put it up to 3.4GHz, and as soon as I started my computer it sounds like it's going to take off...

2: Will this void my warranty? In the BIOS Dell says it can cause problems and run down the life quickly - However it doesn't say it'll void the warranty. Confirmation anyone?

3: In reference to question 1, if @ 3.4GHz it will continue to sound like a jumbo jet, what speed/s can I go to without it maxing out the fan?

4: My temperature for my CPU is currently jumping from between 48 and 61 degrees quite rapidly. Is this normal when overclocked?
