How is this an Apple issue? It seems to be a problem on the NYC Dept. of Education's end.

Fargin' iceholes!!!

And, shouldn't it be "Dell's Layoff Center"?

Exactly how many WiFi protocols are out there? I would have thunk that Apple would be able to handle them by now.

The facility must be the only Dell facilty still in black

Howdy

The Mac bough under this contract
sometime are not even the current
version of Macs, and priced highter.
To me NYC DOE is getting screw.
and this are the bussiness smart guy
running the department ..

If the School's door locks were broken and they couldn't deliver the computers, would Apple be responsible to get a locksmith?

What a bunch of crap!

@DOENYC

what?

Apple needs to send a tech their ASAP. It doesn't matter whose fault. Apple needs to demonstrate excellent customer service and turn this into a win.

Better hurry up and some Macs in there, based on these grammatical issues it looks like the quality of education has been sliding.

... and get some Macs in there... [See my point?]

Anyone else think about the possibility of the Dell people messing with the Macs before they're delivered? Scary thought.

Wow. Loved the obscure Johnny Dangerously reference from MDN!! Not sure many 20-somethings would have a clue about that, the fargin' iceholes!

Firstly, Apple would not have "apologized" for the problem or be "scrambling" to "resolve" the problem if Apple was not culpable for the problem. I'm certain that NYC DOE first sought to solve the problem internally, before concluding that the problem was due to some incompatibility with Apple software.

Secondly, do you know what the problem is exactly, or are you simply talking out of your "icehole", fanboi?

Thirdly, I reckon that your current occupation is not customer relations.

Are you kiddin?

hmm. I do see the irony of Dell employees delivering Apple goods. The wave of the future. Instead of seeling the company and giving dough back to shareholders, just become a distribution hub for Apple.

I'm still using the kext file from 10.5.1. 10.5.2 totally screwed my wifi stability on my 1st gen MBP, but oddly enough it fixed wifi for my girlfriend on her 1st gen Macbook. Hopefully news like this puts more pressure on Apple to fix the issue.

Our elementary school is currently installing Macs for the first time and running into proxy server issues and wireless as well, especially with Safari.

If this is what it takes to get 10.5.3 out the door pronto, I say the more noise the better!

Every now and then Mac lovers should to take a reality pill! As great as Apple and the Macintosh is as a computing company or platform, it falters as a deity! Ever since Leopard my WiFi connection regularly goes into scanning mode. Its annoying to me as a home user, it would utterly unacceptable to me in any business that I would run. (Honestly, it is sufficiently annoying to me on a personal level to have caused me to hard wire as much as my home network as I possibly could!)

You're doing it wrong.

@Afib,
First, the "fargin' iceholes" comment was a take on MDN's take, which is from the movie "Johnny Dangerously".

Second, neither I, nor anyone else on this site, knows what the true issue is - we are all guessing, including me.

Third, I am somewhat in customer relations - and my patients tend to like me.

Fourth, you are an @$$hole!

Have a good night!

Maybe their internet is gone

Stan's got a cool desktop.

Maybe some educational institution could this way force Apple to fix also iMovie 08? I believe that iMovie is used in schools a lot and they could easily say that they won't buy any new computers before Apple makes iM08 to handle DV video properly.

I also wonder what the problem is;

We service 2 ISD's, and between them there are nearly 1,000 NEW MacBooks up and online (and several thousand older Apple laptops).

And no, there isn't a problem with their Wi-Fi.

I have to laugh! All of you fan boys are such hypocrites! Had this been a problem with VISTA you would all be shouting with glee about how lousy MS products our. But, replace the the name VISTA with Leopard, and it's always somebody else's fault.

You folks have NO credibility. Anyone with 1/2 a brain will not value anything you say in the future.

That's great news! Maybe one day soon I will be able to wake up my MBP and actually connect to a WAN.

JoshtheImacGuy;

I repeat;

"I also wonder what the problem is;

In case you're too dense (or too much a fanboy), we have THOUSANDS Appla laptops up and running in two states.
There are a mic of iBooks, PowerBooks, MacBooks and MacBook Pros.

Off the top of my head, roughly EIGHT HUNDRED NEW MACBOOKS are out there, and they're online, using Wi-Fi, and no one has determined that there's an issue with them.

Anywayzzzz...
Rant on.

Moo, you missed my point. The district may be the problem, not Apple's iMacs. Sure. But, my point is that the fan boys mindlessly make excuses for Apple, while under the SAME CONDITIONS they would blame MS without giving it a second thought.

If you own the stock, It's an Apple Issue.

Cubert:

Yeah, so? Are you so unimaginative that you have to borrow your wit from the film industry?

”Second, neither I, nor anyone else on this site, knows what the true issue is - we are all guessing, including me.”

Well, apparently Apple and NYC DOE do know “what the true issue is” or issues are, and Apple is busy resolving the problem as reported in the article, Cubert.


”Third, I am somewhat in customer relations - and my patients tend to like me.

You must be a pathologist.

The only persons I know that resort to profanity to express themselves are idiots.
