Well I'm not sure what the issue was, or what that AirPort icon meant (above) but after a reset and running an Apple Update I seem to be right with the gods once again. Let's hope…

Glad it worked. I still have random issues on a 12" PowerBook where it will periodically not find my wireless network (even with SSID broadcasting turned on). Others have reported …

im not sure if this is the right forum or not, but i'll soon find out.. what is a droplet and what are they used for?? is it something different than a contextual menu? i've bee…

A Droplet is an AppleScript app (or now Automator, also) that launches when an item is dropped onto it's icon in the Finder. It then does it's thing to said item and promises to gi…

I'm having trouble connecting to an 802.11a access point with my AirPort Extreme card in my MBP. Has anyone else had success? I'm pretty sure the radio is on and working on the n…

802.11A is a very different thing from B and G; it operates on a completely different frequency band and with different wireless protocols. I don't think there's an AirPort-brande…

Yes, it's a 5GHz spectrum-technology, although the MBP does support 802.11a. It's the first Mac to support it as I understand.

Here's a quote from the manual: "How AirPort Provides Wireless Internet Access With AirPort Extreme technology, your MacBook Pro makes a wireless connection to an AirPort Express…

I hopt that's not a typo in the manual, but I can't help you on this because it's the first I've heard of an AirPort card supporting -A connectivity.

Ok, thanks. Maybe someone else will have more information. Later in the manual they talk about it being an a/b/g MiniPCIe card too. Speculation is that it was easy to get this f…

I think Intel makes that card too; I've seen other Intel bundled a/b/g mini-PCI cards, so a mini-PCIe card would just need a different bus interface and they'd be done.

I read in an article yesterday (tried to find the link but could not) that there is some question as to whether or not the .a talk is an accident or if it might work. Apparently n…

Yeah, I bought two access points to try to get out of the busy 2GHz spectrum and allow this machine to be in full-speed mode while the B has similar channels running. I hope we ca…

Intel includes their 3945ABG miniPCI card in the Centrino Duo bundle (Core Duo + 945PM + 3945ABG). Example from their price list: T2500 (2M L2 cache 2 GHz 667 MHz FSB) w/ Intel 945…

Just thought I'd share my experience as I thought it was pretty cool. My network setup before was [Cable Modem] -> [Wired Router] -> [Wireless Router] -> [Airport Express…

The "how" is simple; by changing to only using the wired router's DHCP server, you went from having about three different networks (separated by their own DHCP address ranges) to h…

I have an old osx box that records video of motion in the driveway. The hard drive will fill up, and the app(evocam) will stop recording. Is there some app that can email me when…

It's been a while since I tried it, but doesn't Evocam have a setting that does this automatically? Otherwise maybe an applescript that temporarily checks free space on the drive a…

Thanks for the reply. Quote: Originally Posted by The Milkman It's been a while since I tried it, but doesn't Evocam have a setting that does this automatically? If it do…

As my sub states, I was wondering if you guys thought that it's safe/reliable to open files from one computer on another when connected to it on the network. For example, I have w…

Yup. I do it all the time. As long as the computer that hosts the files is reliable, there's no problem. Of course I always recommend that ALL computers and the networking equip…

Thanks!! Since I know that it's safe, I can now enjoy running my files off the powerbook onto my powermac using the cinema display. To think, I used to 'download' it to the power…

Any reason not to use BitTorrent?
