I do his occasionally as well. I just plug in an ethernet cord, turn Airport off, and away I go. No delays, no beachballs.

Steve, I do wonder if everyone is understanding what you mean. I.e. Mount a remote volume via airport. Turn airport off, plug in ethernet and Remote Volume is still mounted. I ca…

I agree, I guess I am not explaining my situation very well, there is nothing wrong with the laptops. It seems that OSX binds network shares to an interface, to switch interfaces …

Again, I'd be really interested to see Windows reroute the connections so transparently, Steve. If it's as smooth as you claim it is that would be one area in which Windows is clea…

Steve, when you're doing that with Windows, it actually IS reconnecting. It's not doing an on-the-fly switch. When it detects that the old interface/connection is no longer availab…

I am not saying that with a windows box you can start transferring a file over wireless, plug in a network cable and it speeds up. I am saying that I can log into a windows domain…

Ahh, okay. That's a clearer explanation. In this case, you're correct. Finder's handling of lost connections is very poor. Most of the time, Explorer isn't all that much better, b…

Seeing as how Apple's marketing speak implies OSX should do this, does anyone have any experience of this ever working?

What kind of machine are you using?

Finder is still a POS when it comes to lost network connections. It completely freezes for about a minute until it pops up the "OMG THIS DRIVE IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE!1!!!1" dialog.

If it was the Finder relaunching the Finder should cure it. It doesn't. Something that's communicating with the Finder is allowing it to happen while the Finder doesn't allow any s…

if im lucky for quicktime to even play my files it only plays maybe the first 1/5 of it. are there any known issues about this? this is my first mac too so not too sure if there's…

My guess is they're all mpeg files that were re-joined after splitting by simply concating the files instead of remuxing the whole mpeg. Use VLC to play them instead. There are w…

mpgtx will fix, join, and split MPEG files that will work in QuickTime. This is the only program I know of for the Mac that actually works. Most other joiners (even after joining…

isquint converted avi's for me, but the audio grows increasingly out of sync throughout the movie. this site is amazing! it'll tell you a tedious way to do it with quicktime pro.…
