#Set up kjams local network mac

Is this the last Mac I'll ever buy? Probably. But it doesn't always work - and when it doesn't, it actually at this point seems more buggy and difficult to repair than Windows. But the software? It's fine as long as it works. I have to give Apple kudos for the iMac hardware. How hard is this to do, really? Do I now have to lug my iMac across the house to put it on a wired connection? I've already wasted hours trying to get this piece of junk working.Īnd the sad fact is, once I am done, I will have a very beautiful computer that can't hold an internet connection. And Apple, in its infinite wisdom, HAS NOT WRITTEN A DOWNLOADER THAT IS SMART ENOUGH TO CONTINUE WHERE IT LEFT OFF. So no matter how many times I start the download, I CAN"T FINISH IT. Now ,the problem is that I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM WITH WIFI DISCONNECTIONS.

I start the software update - a nice 1gb download is required. When I do that, things seem to be working better, although the mouse pointer is quite jerky - I'm thinking that maybe I need to just run software update to fix that.

Strike 3.Īnyway, I decide I need to do a full clean install. I will say that it seemed to be running a little faster though. And my computer still seems to have other problems - it still doesn't recognize external drives very well. I google around and again find others have had this problem, but unfortunately none of the proposed fixes I try seem to work. Quite irritating given that I just spent an hour trying to re-install the OS. After the long process of reinstalling, I click on the "Accounts" setting I get a message saying that the Preferences application has quit unexpectedly - clearly there are still problems. I was somewhat pleased when all of my settings were there.

It took quite a while to do this, and actually it wasn't at all clear to me that my settings would be kept (one would think that this is something the install screen would point out - Windows makes a quite clear distinction between a "clean install" and a re-install). So, I had to install OS X using the DVD that came with the computer. I guess Apple is so confident in the reliability of its computers it doesn't think this is a useful feature. I would point out that nearly all Windows PCs come with a separate repair partition where it is very easy to do that with one click. Now, quite frankly I would have been happy to simply reset the computer to its factory state. Overall, while presumably nothing serious should have been wrong with my computer, I decided I probably should simply reinstall OS X. I also noticed various other problems with the computer: it was slow to recognize a USB hard drive (and sometimes didn't recognize it at all), external hard drives would not appear in the time machine set up, and various other problems I can't quite recall. I tried creating a new user, it had the same problem. I tried doing all of the things that folks suggest when your computer is running slow - repairing permissions, running Onyx, etc. I did install bootcamp according to Apple's instructions, and it worked fine (I wanted to run some Windows games). I don't have a lot of software installed on it, I didn't download anything pirated or questionable. Strike 1.Ī couple of weeks ago, my iMac started running slow for no reason I could identify. It appears from various posts here that this is indeed a problem many others have experienced since Snow Leopard's release, and as far as I can tell, despite many updates to the Airport software it has never been fixed by Apple. I know this is a problem with the iMac, because my numerous Windows PCs and my two iPod toouches had no problem with a wifi connection. However, there was one problem I could never solve: the wifi connection got lost periodically, even though I had made all of the system updates. I was basically pleased with the iMac for a few months. I also wanted to run some karaoke software (kJams) that at the time was not available for Windows. Second, I wanted to do more video editing and found the Windows tools weren't very good.

First, they are just so beautiful, and even if you are going to run Windows they are probably the best Windows computers out there.

I have three Windows 7 computers, and quite frankly, both have performed quite beautifully, albeit without the polish of the Mac.Įarlier this year, I decided to buy an iMac for a few reasons.

I've suffered through all of the ups and downs of Windows over the years, mostly the downs.
