Mac Pro Users - Last Update Effecting Your Network Connection?

[AdamSee]

Have you seen the way the thermal paste is applied inside the MBPs?

I'm not surprised there's issues with heat! Get smcFanControl to increase base level fan speeds until you decide to venture into your MBP to re-apply the thermal paste.

My MBP doesn't get too hot, although I've seen pictures of the thermal paste they apply and it's awful. I may reapply some on mine whilst I'm upgrading the HDD.

Hope you guys can help - my housemate has a MacPro, but has always suffered with a bad wi-fi signal quality. In her room, her MacBook gets a full signal whilst the MacPro gets low signal. I remember seeing a number of months back a guide which showed you how to physically change which antennas inside the case are used for Bluetooth and wi-fi. Anyone possibly have the link, I can't seem to find it.

Cheers for any help.

Hi guys - this is a common problem with 10.4.10. Until Apple sort out a fix, most people have been re-installing OS X using their system CDs so that the version reverts back to 10.4.9.

really? the network connections dropping through the ethernet ports on Mac Pros?

If so you have helped me a lot!

I'm pretty sure it's screwed up the entire network controller, it's happening on WiFi and Ethernet.

Weirdest thing that happened to me was the MBP said it couldn't connect to my preferred network and then asked if I wanted to connect to the following network...

....my preferred network

I wouldn't be too worried.. them stories have been around since the intel switchover.

(I remember the pictures floating around).. didn't realise people thought it was still a problem?

They've apparently sorted the problem now, so unless your really concious about the application (of the paste) then I wouldn't worry
