Help me before I take this thing back and stick with w7
I'm a first time Mac user, and a professional photographer.
I just purchased an i7 15" mackbook pro. 10.6
My problem. I need to run 30 feet of usb cable to tether my Canon 1DsMkIII.
I have a cable setup that has worked flawlessly on many different pc's for years. It will not work on the mac.
I use a tripp lite active usb extension and Apple support tells me it will not work with 10.6. Works fine with 10.55 but they also tell me I can't downgrade to 10.55 because of firmware.
I have a week left to be able to return this now 2000 buck papaerweight if I can't find an active usb cable that will work.
Please don't suggest I use a shorter cable because I NEED the 30 feet or the computer is useless to me. I have a number of 700 buck w7 machines that work perfectly, but I really wanted to go with the macbook.
So if anyone has a suggestion it would be great.
Thanks in advance.
