Problem, Meet Solution

Keeping Your Software Up to Date

You can connect to the Internet and automatically download and install the latest free

software versions, drivers, and other enhancements from Apple.

When you are connected to the Internet, Software Update checks to see if any updates

are available for your computer. You can set your Mac Pro to check for updates

periodically, and then you can download and install updated software.

To check for updated software:

1

Choose Apple () > Software Update.

2

Follow the onscreen instructions.

 For more information, search for “Software Update” in Mac Help.

 For the latest information about Mac OS X, go to the Mac OS X website at

www.apple.com/macosx.

Problems with AirPort Wireless Communication

If you have a problem using AirPort wireless communication:

 Use System Profiler to make sure you have an AirPort card installed in your Mac Pro.

To open System Profiler, choose Apple () > About This Mac from the menu bar, and

then click More Info. Choose Network from the Contents list, and then choose AirPort

Card. If your Mac Pro doesn’t have an AirPort card, you’ll see “No information found.”

If you would like an AirPort card installed in your Mac Pro, see page 92.

 Make sure you have properly configured the software according to the instructions

that came with your base station.
