Thanks RobM. I do not think any white MacBook can run 10.8 and was assuming this one cannot. I should have been more clear. Anyway, this MacBook predates the ones in your link, so it cannot. I do not know how this happened. Maybe there was s…

FWIW, this was an Airport problem caused by installation of the new 7.5.2 software. Apparently, this version does not work well with my Western Digital ShareSpace NAS RAID (even after I updated the firmware of that NAS). After trying MediaMonkey…

Thanks much for the suggestions. The M-Audio Fast Track Ultra is tempting because it can lock to an external clock, but I think I'll either buy the Edirol or wait for DigiDesign's MBox 2 to be upgraded with a USB 2 interface and then buy that. …

I have a new 2.4 GHz MB and am pleased with its performance running CS3 apps (mainly PS, ID, DW). I upgraded the harddrive to a 7200rpm drive, and that made a nice difference. The screen is not the best and it lacks firewire, but if you can live wi…

I resolved my issue. I think. Instead of using the install disk that was shipped with the MB I was using my multi-license OS X 10.5 dvd that I purchased sometime in the past year or so. So I finally tried to boot with the install disk shipped wi…

Yes it is interesting. I voted that I would buy a new MB, and I did buy one. But I wish I could have voted no and not bought one. I have the money to buy a MBP and I need firewire. But I have been using my 12" PB much too long while waiting in …

I vote for Apple's Backup. I've used SuperDuper and TimeMachine. IMO SuperDuper is very good and Time Machine not so good. The hard drive on my wife's MB recently crashed and it was much, much easier to just use Backup to restore her files than …

For one, I am not surprised by Apple's new MBs and MBPs. Not by the black colors, the glossy screens, the lack of firewire, etc. Maybe that is because I have been a holdout using a 12" PB. The 2.4 GHz MB is akin to the 12" PB in its day. It is o…

I think Apple's increasing use of black colors in their lineup is to help gain PC business market share, as my guess is business users think black looks more "business-like"/professional and Apple believes most Mac users are going to stick with appl…

Just browsing TM via g is slower than via n, but not nearly as annoying as with the g and n difference in the actual backup process. And, as mentioned by KingOfSomewhereHot, browsing TC via g works fine. Aside from very large files the speed is …

It will work ok as a NAS hard drive. But Time Machine and Apple Backup will be painfully slow if you want to use either to back up to the Time Capsule. There is a very large difference between a 802.11n MB or MBP and a 802.11g PB backing up to m…

Bergermeister, FWIW I am still stuck with my 12" PB. I'd like to buy a MBP but they are still too big, and I need firewire to use my recording equipment. I'll wait a little longer and then may just buy a MBA after all. Anyway, thanks for the refe…

Yeah, if RAID is important then you may not want the TC. I still harbor hopes that in the future I can somehow use a RAID 1 connected to the TC- but I do not have any idea right now whether I will be able to do so. It would seem to be a waste of the…

I just received my 1TB TC today, in part to replace a RAID 1 connected via firewire 400 to my PB (I'll try a normal back up from the TC via annother USB disk connected to the TC). I'll give up speed but will eliminate clutter under my desk. The TC w…

Well, for me it is ease of use. I do not have to press various combinations of buttons or scroll through various menus to do what I want. I bought it only because of that. After I bought it I was surprised that I could occasionally leave my lapt…
