Adjustable/Non-adjustable Pro Mouse. Which came first?

Hi all. We have a 17" FP 1GHz, bought in the UK late 2003, which came with the adjustable Pro-mouse - the one with the 3 position ring around the IR. This had become more and more unresponsive and we were lucky to acquire a brand new one on eBay from a German seller. This does not have the ring around the IR.
Purely out of interest, which is the newer design?
Many thanks in advance,
Adrian
(Neither are 'Magic'. - 'Er indoors tried one and doesn't like it. I now use it with my iBook.)

Hi again. They are both M5769. Interestingly the original, as supplied with the iMac, says 'Pro Mouse' on the back between the Apple symbol and the adjuster ring; as does the picture on the link you kindly provided Also 'Assembled in Malaysia'
The recent eBay purchase just says 'Mouse' and is assembled in China.
Curioser and curioser…
Adrian
Edit: A further anomaly. The original's side grips are just shapes in the clear case, those of the new are white plastic inserts.
Should I be getting out more? :-D

Edit II, In my OP, substitute 'Magic' for 'Mighty'. WTH did that come from?

Non Apple pro-keyboards : Which ones ?

My Mitsumi Apple Extended M 7803 keyboard has served me well apart from a sticky key. Disassembling and cleaning the keyboard have not helped much and time to move on.
Not keen on ebay replacements and I am looking for a sturdy non-Apple keyboard. Any suggestions ? I am considering the Matias USB 2.0 keyboard. Any User cares to comment ? Thanks

Don't know about the current Matias but someone on another forum said the earlier "Tactile Pro" boards have a very noticeable key "clack" intended to emulate the experience of older boards, but you can't turn it off. I am also interested in the Matias in that I've always used the big Apple M3501 "Nimitz" board (ADB) and love the feel of 104 discreet key switches. I'm currently using a Nimitz on my MDD but the ADB-to-USB adaptor I've relied on so long to keep the Nimitz in service lost support after Panther. It causes a few minor problems I'm dealing with (ex., you have to hit the RETURN key on wake from sleep to regain control of the board), but now it's causing some other USB devices to act up a little.
Have you looked at the Apple Aluminum board? I'm thinking about one of those but am 300 miles from an Apple Store and can't go test one. We'll be in Portland OR over Memorial Day and I plan to visit the Apple Store there to see how that one feels. I'm a writer, and keyboard feel is very important when I have to spend hours at the computer.

Can the Apple Pro Mouse Be Opened For Cleaning?

I tried searching the forum with no luck before posting here. I'd like to clean the inside of the Apple Pro Mouse that came with my G4. Anyone know how to open it safely (so it can be re-closed again)?
Thanks!

Not read one success story on opening it, the only apparently safe method of cleaning is to massage it upside down!

Which camera should I buy for a first timer

Hello everyone. This is my first post here. I am a 22 year old student at a college majoring in electronics and communications. Soon as am done with college am moving to a film school to learn about filmmaking. However, right now am educating myself with filmography and video shots by reading books. The only thing left for me is buying a camera. Which camera do you guys recommend me buy for a first timer ? Same thing with accessories. My budget is 1000 USD
Many people in other forums recommened the Canon T3i
Do you guys think I shoud start with a camcorder or a DSLR for a starter who wants to learn filmography?

This is a slightly complicated question.
A camcorder is specifically designed for video. But a DSLR camera is designed for still image and can also shoot video.
But there is one reason why video users are extremely interested in DSLRs... and that has to do with the lenses.
There's a massive number of lenses available for DSLR cameras on the market. For many camcorders, you lens isn't removeable -- the lens it comes with is all you get. For those with removeable lenses, the selection is limited and they tend to be expensive (economies of scale). If you want to draw a viewer's attention to a subject by using selective focus, then you'd want a narrow depth of field and draw to the focus to your object of interest within the frame... there are many lenses for DSLR cameras that can do that. But with a camcorder, your ability to create strong out-of-focus areas is more limited due to the lenses.
So... apart from the lenses (but that's a _really_ big deal), just about everything else about a camcorder is better for shooting video.
When displaying video digitally, a 1080p image is 1920x1080 -- or about 2 megapixels. All the recent Rebel bodies can record 18 megapixel images (for still photos). This means the camera has to resample the image for video purposes. The sensor wasn't really designed for that non-stop extended recording use and it can get hot. Hot can mean noise in the image. Camcorders are designed for extended recording and tend to not get hot.
Watch any high-end film and count the number of seconds before you see the camera angle change. You'll likely notice that the angle is changing faster than every 10-15 seconds. It changes all the time. A 30 second clip would be _really_ long. They tend to take lots of short clips and weave them together to make a story. The need to shoot a birthday party whilst walking around with a camera for 20 or 30 minutes in one really really long clip just isn't done in a pro video world.
If you do decide to go with a DSLR, I'd nudge you toward the T5i because of it's hybrid AF system and ability to exploit full-time auto-focus (although in pro video you may find yourself doing manual focus more often then you might guess) with the silent focus motors of the new STM lenses that are so quiet the in-camera microphone cannot detect any noise from them.
The 70D also promises to be a very good camera for video but has not yet started shipping (pre-orders are available) -- but it's also out of your price range.

Can I adjust built-in iSight camera angle?

Hi, I'm considering to buy iMac G5 (iSight), since I'm so impressed by my first iPod (w/ video).
So I'm pretty new to Apple computer.. please understand.
Question is ;
Can I adjust built-in iSight camera angle?
Left-Right, or Up-down?
Or it's just fixed?
Thanks in advance.

As posted by Kayle, the camera is fixed on the front panel but you can easily adjust it's "view" by rotating the iMac on it's pedestal; right/left or up/down. I have done this and don't notice a significant difference in the angle of the display after doing so. What I mean is, a change of a few degrees of the display (up/down or side to side) isn't really noticeable when looking at the display, but makes a real difference in what the camera takes in (your face, vs you chest level, or over your shoulder).
If you want the camera pointing 30 degrees off the straight ahead position, while looking at the display straight on, you would be better off with an externally mounted camera.
I also love my new iMac.

Do you mean you've replaced your remote and it wont work because your AppleTV is paired to your lost remote?
If so, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1555 has you covered.

I have an optical mouse that came with my Mac Pro plugged into the USB port on the keyboard. After a year of working normally, the trackball all of a sudden stopped scrolling down. It scrolls up just fine, but not down. Any thoughts?

Well
I tried all of the suggestions, sort of. I did not have alcohol wipes, but I did take alcohol and pour some ona white paper towel and then rolled the mouse touch ball aroound and that finally cleared up the problem. Just inverting it on paper did not do the reick, it needed some help with the alcohol. Of course the probelm is the debris that gets inside and it really needs to come out.
This is a huge problem for RIM devices users too.

To use factime on your Mac, I believe you will need to use your email address to do so instead of your wireless number. Since you can't make calls on the Mac.

You can find the Apple Bluetooth card on eBay for as little ten dollars (says its for the 2008 model Mac Pro, not sure about the 2007).
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bluetooth-Board-iMac-and-Mac-Pro-922-8233-922-8233-/1208 49278570
Here is a link to a full explanation of the card and how to install it. Part numbers may differ a bit as that is an old article and newer models have come out.
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/Mac_Pro/Bluetooth_MacPro_install/Bluetooth_Ma cPro_install.html
Just make sure that the part will work in your model Mac Pro. To that end, you may be better off avoiding eBay and going to a parts reseller. There are even third party cards that use the internal Apple bluetooth slot.
http://fastmac.com/bluetooth.php
In theory, using a USB or PCI card will work at login so long as it is recognized by Apples drivers. You say you need to launch an application to use your current USB Bluetooth dongle? If it is not controlled by the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar then it must be using a third party driver of some sort. Unfortunately, I don't know off hand which USB and PCI cards are supported.

If they are the grey discs which came with the iMac, then they will be machine specific and will not work on the MBP anyway. You will need to purchase a retail copy of Snow Leopard from the Apple Store for about $29 and upgrade from that. I presume your MBP is Intel and not G4.
Good Luck

I am new with Mac OS X, and usually using finder to organize my files. I really don't know where these 280GB "other" came from. this laptop is used for my study, so I haven't used it for downloading vedios or musics which could be extremely large. (what about steam online like youtube? is there any temp folder that need to be cleaned manually in os x?)

The Other items could be items in the OS X folders such as the System folder and caches, personal information such as documents, contacts, calendar data, App Plugins or extensions, Media files that cannot be classified by Spotlight as a media file because they are located inside of a package, file types not recognized by Spotlight.

Flex Time vs. Melodyne - which one first in your vocals workflow?

Hi all,
I am curious about what workflow you guys have with vocals.
The first steps after recording (and perhaps multicomping) the different layers/tracks, are to me pitch-correction in Melodyne and time-correction with Flex-Time (built into Logic pro).
Which one do you guys do first?
I haven't yet got enough experience to judge with much certainty which way serves the recorded audio best.
Myself, I currently go melodyne on one vocal track at the time, snap-to-pitch off and adjust pitch by ear with the music tracks as guide.
Sometimes I push formants around, in particular if there's a high note with lots of pitch drifting (those high notes can be difficult to hit ;-).
After that, I layer vocal tracks that belong together, and work with flextime until they are reasonably well-timed with particular focus on consonants and note ends.
I tend to keep one recording centered, and two (or more) panned to the sides; a configuration that is very transparent to time differences.
I *think* I do this because I have this idea that if I do flextime first, I will already have spectral content that is more damaged, that will be more difficult to pitch-correct with minimal artifacts. While as time-stretching or -compressing melodyne artifacts, will not do much to change the harmonic content of the material.
Whether this is "correct" or not, I don't know for sure :-}
So, I'd like to hear your experiences and opinion on this!
Cheers;
::E::

Hi!
I assume you are on Logic 9. I think your workflow makes sense. With LX it´s a bit different.
I have noticed that I really don't use Melodyne that much anymore, because of Flexpitch.
Flexpitch is so much easier to work with, especially if you change computer. Downside of FP,
however, is that you can't create fades, so first of all I would 'clean up' my vocal tracks, create fades,
and then apply Flex Pitch and Time, in that order, I guess.

How to install Windows 8.1 Enterprise on Ultrabook which came with basic Windows 8.1

Hi,
I guess I'm not the first one with this question but anyway...
I've got 2000EUR expensive Ultrabook recently, and what's interesting it came with Windows 8.1. Just standard basic Windows 8.1, not Pro or Enterprise.
Obviously I needed to upgrade it with larger SSD 1Tb and install Windows 8.1 Enterprise as I need Hyper-V and other Enterprise version functionality on day to day bases.
I was surprised that I can't do so as SLIC is reverting Windows 8.1 back to basics!!!
.. so my question is - How can I can Windows 8.1 Enterprise 64Bit on to very expensive Ultrabook which came with Windows 8.1?!?!
Kind Regards,
Kon

Hi,
Enterprise edition of Windows Client OS, is not available via OEM and not via Retail - it's only available via Volume Licensing agreement.
you can purchase an upgrade to Pro, via the Microsoft Store:

I clicked on iMessage on my Macbook Pro today for the first time, and now NOTES keeps opening up every 5 seconds, with a new note. I cannot stop it from opening. If I close it or force close, it opens again in 5 seconds. I can't get rid of it. I have tried to clear out the iMessage settings I had put in, and I've tried to adjust the Accounts to not include notes to synch. But, Notes will not stop. It opens a new note, and even if you ignore it, it assumes preference every 5 seconds, and the Mac is impossible to use.

Do you have any Boot Camp or other secondary partitions set up on your system? If so then try running a disk verification routine (chkdsk, etc.) in Windows to repair the disk. While I've not heard of it happening recently, in the past errors in these partitions have resulted in stubborn ghost files appearing in OS X.
