Surely fitting an AirPort card to a tower cannot be difficult?
But if that is the case, try

Not sure about "own client", though.

Howdy.
Is the OP Dane asking about a WiFi card or asking about a type of
wireless adapter like a WiFi USB adapter for something like a cordless
mouse??
In any case, I have a 1st generation MacPro tower for which I bought an
Apple AirPort card thinking I could install it myself.
I have taken computers apart, swapped logic boards, and install AirPort
cards in a variety of Models.
I couldn't do it on the MacPro.
It may be easier on a newer MacPro.
The slot is easy to get to and see on the MacPro logic board. There
are (on the 1st gen MacPro) two antenna wires to be attached. Some
early MacPro models didn't label these antenna wires and they also
resemble Bluetooth antenna wires. This is a bit of a problem!!
I was easily able to insert the AirPort card and to fix the two
miniature screws to hold it in place.
I could never get the two antenna wires to attach. Tried for days.
Spent hours on this task.
Finally gave up and took it to Apple Store where I bought it and they
attached antenna wires in about 5 minutes. Don't know what the deal
is. Maybe they have a special tool.

I assume it's about an alternative to an AirPort card.
I had no idea they would be difficult to fit in a Mac Pro (or any tower).

Dan,
I wasn't able to get a wireless connection in my Powermac G5 until I got
those wires attached! The physical architecture, or layout of that
machine was fairly identical to the Mac Pro. It was a pain in the butt,
but I finally got them attached.
Did you have a problem with the connection without the wires attached?

I sent this three times today and it never made the list!
The 'philanthropist' is not a charitable individual at all in 99% of the
cases. They do what they do for a tax dodge. Giving away a portion of
their money allows them to keep more personally and save on taxes.
SJ paid more in taxes than Gates. Gates knew how to hang onto money.
That's all the son of a gun did. There was more than likely not a
giving bone in his body over the whole foundation thing. He gets
another bonus, he looks like a 'good guy'. In reality, he's not when it
comes to money.
Who's the capitalist now??

They both look good too! Thanks Jurgen.
I usually go with the underdog when I purchase stuff like this. Blue
Jeans Cable looks to me to be just that, although I'm not sure of the
history. I know they got back to me within a couple of hours for a $2

Howdy.
I don't think you need a cover for the iPhone glass. I don't use one.
I do, however, like the Belkin rubbery holder I use. It protects the
back and sides and protects it from being dropped.
Some iPhone cases/sleeves used to come with those stick-on plastic
facings but I'm not sure if there are a lot of these still on the
market.
My personal preference is NOT for one of the flip cases because the lid
gets in the way of all kinds of things but some folks do like these.
I've also tried the hard plastic protective cases and just hate them.
The iPhone was designed to feel almost sensual in the hand and the hard
plastic cases destroy that. My NEC and Samsung cell phones never
never never felt sensual!!!!!!

I found the naked iPhone far too slippery. I wanted something to make it
grippy, add almost nothing to the size, and add some protection. I bought
the Incipio Feather, which I really like, and it came with 2 screen
protectors. I'm still on the first one after 2 years. Perhaps it's not
required but I feel "safer" with it on.

realise it's in a case.

I had this problem as well, and became frustrated as heck when I got my
first pair. There are now true 'in ear' earbuds that actually have a
foam end that goes into the ear canal. They do not fall out of the ear
easily. They come in various quality and one can spend hundreds of
dollars on a pair.
Check out any retail outlet, Amazon, etc. They have them. I believe
that most of the high end manufacturers use only this style, otherwise I
believe they'd have a hard time achieving any quality sound.
They do block outside noise almost entirely as well.

Unfortunately for you, your ears *are* different from the ear bud ideal. So are mine.
I use a set of "plug" earphones that tuck right into the ear canal. They block out more ambient sound than ear buds as well.
They also have really good sound. I would compare them favorably to sets in the $300 range.

As I mentioned before, I use Klipsch, which fit IN your ear. Their
ear buds usually come with three sets of "gels" which conform to your
ear. This not only blocks out sound (you can wear them as ear plugs
if you want to), it also makes them comfortable enough to wear for
hours.
This is what they look like:

I've been there.
Here is the solution:
Memory Foam Earbud Tips (large)
http://is.gd/Xe6X4z
Before putting them in your ear you squish them in-between your
fingers and they squish down to just about nothing for 15 to 20
seconds. Once in your ears they expand to perfectly fit your ear.
They fit securely, are comfortable, and as a side benefit they seal
your ear from outside noise really well to give you much better sound
quality!
These things come in sizes. Small, medium and large. I've
referenced the large size on the assumption that other ear buds have
been falling out of your ear because they didn't have a tight enough
fit.

I set up my iCloud user account and password with a new username. Now after having it work I got a message that it couldn't sync,
Thinking my password wasn't correct, I went on iCloud on my iPhone 3S and changed the password.
I changed the password on my iPhone and on my iCal, but I am still getting this message:
Access to account "hotbaba1937@me.com " is not permitted.
The server responded:
"HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden"
to operation CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperat ion.
Can anyone help?
TIA

Quit All Applications Shortcut

I hope I'm not teaching you experts to suck eggs, but I sometimes end
up with several RAM-hogging applications open and only a series of
Cmd-Q key presses would get rid of them.
However I searched in vain for a short-cut to close them all with a
simple keystroke. Cmd-Ctrl-Eject does it but it restarts the Mac as
well.
Finally I found the following short Automator script that works well:

This was my first use of Automator - it won't be my last.

Ian
