tyrion Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 I saw the same thing on Macrumors this morning. Hopefully it will only be a few more weeks to the update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crappyjones123 Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 So my router seems to be on it's way out. I have no trouble with wifi on phone or iPad at school or elsewhere but keep getting kicked off at home. Sometimes it just won't connect. Other times it says incorrect password to the correct password. Have no need for dual band routers. Would the airport express be able to run a wireless network with a dsl modem? 4 laptops. Couple of phones and 2 iPads. Tried the same current router with an older modem and the problem persists. Or just buy another run of the mill link sys and call it a day?

I believe they have a simultaneous five connection limit (though devices could quickly rotate. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 looks like this works for non-Apple drives. perfect timing, since i should have an SSD in my laptop in a couple days (got the 13" MBP is slow compared to my SSD'ed iMac, despite the specs otherwise being similar). Color me jealous. I wish the stupid windows partition didn't take up so much space so I can use a ssd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappyjones123 Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I believe they have a simultaneous five connection limit (though devices could quickly rotate. . I think it would be a rare occasion that all 4 family members are at home and everyone is on their laptops and phones at the same time. As such 5 might be ok. Since we have just 2 non apple laptops and one non iPhone I figured going with an apple router might provide ether integration. I have no brand loyalty (yet) but if a cheaper non apple router does the job (just as well) then I'd like to go for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knuckledragger Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 (edited) Well, crap. I'm now convinced that the RAM I bought from MemoryX is bad. It tests fine, but I've been getting consistent kernel panics since I installed it. Fortunately, MemoryX has some of the best customer service in the business. I'm supposed to get an RMA number by the end of the (west coast) business day. Unfortunately, that means I'm back down to 2GB until this is resolved.

Salt Peanuts Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 ^ I Think that's an excuse to go grab a new MBP or something to tide you over till that 16-core Mac Pro comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knuckledragger Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 ^^HAH! Unfortunately, if I bought an MBP, I'd not have any money left for a monitor. Speaking of, this is some bullshit. AAPL's transition to DisplayPort and MiniDisplayPort has been one headache after another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 The HDMI specification defines an HDMI cable as having only HDMI connectors on the ends. Anything else is not a licensed use of the specification and therefore, not allowed.So my DVI-to-HDMI converter cable is illegal? That's a rather moronically closed gesture. They're basically excluding themselves from anyone who has a graphics card that does not have HDMI built in (in other words, that would rule out breakout cables as well). Oh well, it was nice knowing you while you lasted, HDMI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrion Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Macrumors reported this on Thursday. If I was a betting man, I would have my money on picking up a new MBA on Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessingx Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Anyone by chance know how long it takes for new Apple gear to make it to Amazon (itself or third-parties)? Have some gift certs to use and know there can be delays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VPI Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 I am hoping that while they held off putting out the new MBAs until Lion was released they made enough so that I can walk into the store and buy one on Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessingx Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 If this is true, only the missing mini-toslink is left on my wishlist.
