It is real easy, the sidewalk along the road behind the Apple Store (west side of the Gateway) you can stay there all night. I have for the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 and iPad. I always bring a chair and food and stuff and a extension cord for power. Sometimes people bring a projector for movies on the wall but I don't know if they are coming in the night again.
It is actually quite fun. I have nothing wrong with staying the night.
Talking this over with the wife, it will be about a 21hr. wait, and i need to consider if my Back will hold out that long, But what makes it fun is being with everyone else that has the same interests.
Ben is their Any problems with catching some shuteye and other "Spectators" that are not in the Apple line leaving you alone? And what about the Dreaded "Restroom" Facility's being available if needed?
Sorry for asking so many questions, just have to get all the info i can, Im not to young anymore, But this is something I would like to do.
I have a 3 part tent "1 Large Middle and 2 small separate tents linked by a tunnel for privacy" It can be used for up to 12 people "Mini Condo Type" i would be willing to bring that and even share with other folks waiting also.

The card only comes with fan-out cables (SFF-8087 to 4i*SATA/SAS ends; 1x per SFF-8087 port, so in the case of the ARC-1880ix12, it will come with 3x of them).
In theory, you could order the version of the Maxupgrades kit without the MiniSAS cable, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to go ahead and get it (it may be shorter, as those that come with the Areca are 0.5 meters in length). Assuming the cable with the kit is shorter, it won't be as messy as a longer cable could be in terms of routing (those that have used that particular kit haven't mentioned it was a mess that I recall).
You won't need any other cabling to connect the card to the HDD bays (it all comes in the MaxUpgrades kit).
If you want to use an internal port with an external enclosure, there's a special cable you'd need to get for this. If you want to use the external port (keep in mind, this typically shares ports with an internal connector in past models, such as the 1680 series), you'd need to buy one. Either way, these do not come with the card, and you'd only need to get them if you're planning on running an external enclosure/s.
BTW, stick to 1.0 meters or less with SATA disks (1.0 m tends to be the shortest you can get off the shelf, but other lengths are possible via a custom order - I've done this before), and do not use the PCI bracket mount adapters to take internal to external cables (results in instability due to contact resistance - been through this battle before). These adapters are meant to be used with SAS, which runs at a much higher signal voltage (20V) than internal SATA (400mV).
You don't need to use the older version of Firefox. I was referring to Safari in terms of older versions that had been tried and didn't work (not tried Safari 5, but given past revisions, I'd skip even trying it when I know Firefox will work properly).
As per how to do it, a browser works in any OS supported by the card (browser connects via an IP address assigned to the RAID card). Now the firmware is actually in 4 parts (i.e. what you'd get in a firmware download off of Areca's support site). Assuming you don't need to upgrade anything else, you just use EFI to replace BOOT.bin, which is the BIOS version (leave the others alone).
There should be instructions in the manual that comes with the card fif you're a bit confused (it's in the others, so it should be there this go around as well). There's also confirmation check boxes to be marked before any flash is actually performed anyway (nice little safety feature), so you can look around without causing problems.
Thanks, you've really helped out.
One question that does come across though is once I flash the card with EFI and select the SSD as a boot drive from an existing OSX install I will want to install Mac OSX fresh on this now bootable SSD and ditch the default OSX installation on which I chose the SSD as the boot drive. Can I do this? Or must I clone the existing OSX install onto the new SSD drive first?
I was thinking after making the SSD boot drive I could simply boot off the OSX install discs and install OSX on this SSD?
It's going to be a new system with no important data, so I don't care about cloning the existing OSX install which comes on the 1TB HDD with the 8-core 2010 Mac Pro. In fact I am going to pull that drive out altogether.
Perhaps I am complicating things too much here and after flashing the card to EFI, I can just shut down, take out the original 1TB HDD with OSX. Start the PC, launch the Areca EFI RAID BIOS menu with the right key press, put the 2x SSD's in pass through mode and 4x 3TB in RAID5. Afterwards just boot off the OSX cd and it will see the 2x SSD drives and the RAID5 volume and just install OSX on one of the SSD's like I want? Will I have troubles installing Win 7 through bootcamp on the 2nd SSD drive when its running off the Areca in pass through mode ?
Also maybe you know, for installing 2x 6G SSD's in the 2nd 5'25" optical bay I obviously need either the OWC multimount adapter bracket 2.5 to 5.25 or other, but for power do I need a SATA power Y splitter or something to get power to both SSD's ? Both of these will be connected to the Areca in pass through mode, the length of the included miniSAS cable should be fine to reach to the SSD's in the optical bay right ?
Finally the one question that I can't find a definite answer to from anyone is if the X5690 Xeons will work in the 8-core Mac Pro, I know the X5680 do from others on this forum. OWC is offering the X5690 in their CPU upgrade options so I take it works. But maybe they flash/alter the EFI to support the microcode for the X5690 ?

Try another Firewire cable or another computer to see if the one that you have is OK. The camcorder needs to be switched to the playback position. Have you got iMovie to try?

Obviously the Optimum for iPad app will need to be on removable media to get it onto my computer which would be steps 1 and 2 above.
I will need to have the itunes account on the computer i will be using to do this, which is just a simple copy the itunes folder into a temporary account on that machine. (Not the usual machine iPad syncs to).
I should be able to PM this afternoon.

let me see if i understand the resolution thing:
we'll be able to adjust the resolution of monitors to really high settings, but instead of everything having to be tiny (windows, menus, text, etc.), we'll be able to make them normal size without them looking crappy? sounds awesome to me.

Tired of Apple's locked ecosystem
Switching to Android.
I travel to China half of the year, I NEED and unlocked phone so that i can pop in my Chinese SIM card when i'm there.
iPhone is just not for me.
FU Apple.
You are aware that Androids are also sold locked, right (except nexus)? Yes, some are available unlocked and there are locks of unlocks available....wait, that just like iPhones.
carry on...

Back in '84 the recording choices were Beta or VHS... :eek:
That would be the source, unfortunately.... ;)
I guess is someone had a Beta Hi-Fi copy on a High Grade Tape with great reception, then you can capture it but need to use some sort of TBC with it.

I second setting up a local DNS, you could use BIND on an existing mac or recycle an old PC and install BIND on linux, use os x server, etc.
Other things to consider, if your hosts are obtaining IP addresses via DHCP you'll have to configure your DHCP server to assign the local DNS server IP address, right now it's probably assigning the IP address of your router/gateway you'll also need to set the search domain for your hosts so you don't have to type full domain names everytime.
If hosts have static IPs don't forget to manually set the DNS server IP and search domain.
On your DNS server, just set the forwarder IP address to what the DNS IPs are in your current router configuration, your ISPs DNS or you could just use OpenDNS servers which is what I usually do if I set up a local DNS server.
Did a quick search on the web and found this: http://www.macshadows.com/kb/index.php?title=How_To:_Enable_BIND_-_Mac_OS_X's_Built-in_DNS_Server ... could be useful. If you browse around enough you could find a way to do it on an existing Mac w/o installing server OS.

Very strange. My guess is you'll see a custom build update fairly soon, like the MBP's got.

The high price comes from the features like USB hard drive and printer sharing. So yes there are cheaper alternatives but you'd be hard pressed to find these features on other routers.
As for the update, I'm sure Apple will release an update. If not you will probably find the updater leaked to the net when the router starts shipping late next month.

It is a collector's item but I doubt you will be able to get much for it (esp since it has no HD). Many people just don't have space for these old Macs (but I would pay good money for a IIfx)....

Hi there...
Now that I've talked most of my friends into getting a Mac - and now iChat - we're finding it really easy to communicate.
Until recently, it's been dead easy to transfer files between each other, by just clicking and dragging the document onto the text box, and pushing <enter>.
From there, the files are sent to the recipient, where they are saved to a folder on their computer. I can SEND data OK - it's just the receiving of data that has been disallowed. The error I get goes something along the lines of:
"The downloads folder is Read-Only, or you do not have sufficient privileges to do this."
The problem has just occurred - I've just upgraded my Hard Drive to 120Gb, and did a straight data transfer between the old and new drives, so all my preferences had not been changed, so THAT couldn't be the reason. I have, however, upgraded to iChatAV - which may be the culprit.
Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone have a solution?
I've already tried repairing my preferences (to no avail), and I can't find any of the documents that were downloaded to me previously - and doing a "Find" search of the drive has come up with nothing.
Is there ANY way of changing the DESTINATION of my downloads for iChat? I have a specific Downloads folder for internet downloads, but (as far as I can see) there is no way to change the destination for iChat...
Cheers, all.
Hope you can help...

Someone on the 68k Macintosh (http://68kmla.net/forums/index.php?sid=9757cfe5acee5202175ed5f07f335739) forum might be interested. Lots of retro computer guys there are on the lookout for older systems even if they are PPC.
I'd do this. A Powerbook 180 is a great computer, and is of value to anyone into retro Mac stuff. Don't throw it out - at least give it away for free there (you'll have lots of takers). You probably could even sell it for ten or twenty bucks.
I'd buy it from you, but I already have one. :)
