Any thoughts on new keyboard?
So what are your thoughts on the new keyboard? Like it? Dislike it? Tell me why.
I was wondering this because I want to upgrade from my 12inch 1.33 Powerbook, but I LOVE the keyboard on this thing. The keyboard on the PB is so satisfying to type on - firm feel and positive feedback when typing.
So how does the MacBook feel?
Initially when I checked out the MacBook in an Apple Store, I was worried, but after using it for a day or two I would say it's more good than bad. The feel is quite firm, not spongy like the iBooks, because the keyboard is part of the case, not a lifting part. So it feels firm to type on. The travel is a bit shallow, and the spacing a bit wide, but I'm getting used to it. The biggest downside I feel is that the keys are perfectly flat, so it's kind of hard to get a position on the keys by touch. Most keyboards have beveled edges so your fingers naturally center themelves. Funny how a subtle change like that makes a big difference. But overall, I'm really happy with the keyboard and the machine. The solid feel gives one the feeling you're using a quality product.

Any Thoughts on New iMac Fusion Drive for Editing Video
I was wondering if there were any thoughts about the new iMac for editing 720/1080 HD video from say an iPhone 5 or Canon Power Shot camera. The drive speed is now only 5400 RPM in the 21.5" model. I was curious if the the combo SSD/5400 RPM HDD had the same editing power as as a 7200 RPM drive.
Thanks, I've read it, well I should say I've tried to read it. Somewhat over my head, but not totally. I'm just curious if some of the video editing tasks would be done on the HDD or faster SSD drive. I'll have to go back to the article and see if there is any mention of that type of task.
I'm a little disappointed that you need to move up to the 27" iMac to get a 7200 RPM Fusion Drive. Do not need a 27" desktop. -
when i go to 'New Folder' in outlook the name box only opens for a second so I don't have time to name it correctly. Rename Folder does the same thing. Any thoughts? Many thanks.
Hi Clint,
Did you get a reply from anyone for this problem? I'm having the same problem and wondering what the resolution might be.
Thanks -

My 1st Generation time capsule won't connect to the internet thru a new motorola sb6121 - get continuously flashing yellow light. Using a router in between the modem and capsule yields good but slower connection to internet. Any thoughts?
Thanks for your response
Let me give the history - I started with an Apple Express being fed thru a D-Link EBTR 2310 cable Router from an RCA DCM315 Modem (Pure). Comcast service all the way.
Got the 1st generation TC in 2008 and merely replaced the Airport Express with the TC. Worked ok
A year or two ago I did try removing the modem and feeding the TC directly from the modem. Resulted in the same condition I have now - Continuous flashing amber on the TC. So I put the router back in the chain.
Some time later, at the recommendation of a Comcast rep, I replaced the router with (a Belkin F5D 5231) to see if speed and dropout problems would be improved. I thought it helped some at the time but now I am not so sure.
Last week I decided to see if a new modem would help with download speeds. So I got another pure cable modem (Motorola SB 6121- high on the Comcast recommended list).
Got up and running easily with Comcast help and with the modem connected directly to a computer.
Next I put the TC in the link and again could not get past the TC continuing to flash amber. Although I did get connected to the internet with this configuration I lost connection two both of my printers - one connected by USB and the other wirelessly to the TC. Again everything works fine when I put the Belkin router back in the system.
However with the router in there, the modem shows the downstream connection to be 10/100 ethernet speed. (Modem light changes color for indicating speeds.}
I have gone thru all of the combinations of powering down/ up, but all stays the same.
I can live with what I have but something still doesn’t seem right.
Thanks again -
I can't see the icons for my news links any more and when I click into the Google news list, pictures for the article list don't load. Any thoughts?
Try emptying the Safari cache more often. From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
If that doesn't help, try resetting. From the menu bar again, click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 boxes then click Reset.
BTW... it would help to tell us which Mac OS X you have installed and in this case, which version of Safari. -
I have an optical mouse that came with my Mac Pro, the only thing 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. -
Hi. I lost my iMac's hard drive and had a new one installed. I reloaded my old iWorks 08 software and then transferred my Pages documents from a portable HD to the iMac. The files open but the original text in them (they are journals) are in white against the white background. Plus I can't see any sign of the cursor. I can hi-lite the text and change its colour but never to black. Plus the photos I inserted along side the text are barely visible, as if they had been badly faded.
Any thoughts on this? Many thanks.
RichardRichard,
You must run Software Update and bring your old iWorks 08 to the latest release for compatibility with the current OS.

I need to move my photos and contacts from my old iPhone 3 to my new iPhone 4. When I open iTunes, it is not letting me sync my old phone so I can back up to my new phone. Any thoughts?
Buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store, install it, and run Software Update twice.

I have a 2007 MacBook. 2 years ago I upgrade the HD to a 500 GB 7200 RPM Hitachi. That drive just failed so I purchased another from the same store. When attempting to reload the OS the drive was not showing up as an option when asked to select a destination drive for the OS. I then exited the install and opened disk utility. Disk utility lists the capacity of the drive as 3.4 TB and when attempting to partition the drive it gives an input/output error. So I tried the hard drive from my other MacBook which already has an OS on it and it works fine. I surmised that the drive was faulty and had the store exchange it for another of a different model, but same specs. Second drive is doing the exact same thing. I figured there must be something wrong internally with the logic board so I tried using my other MacBook to load the OS and it's giving me the same exact error. Now I'm wondering what the deal is. When using the original 160 GB HD that came in the machine it works fine but the brand new one doesn't work. Any thoughts?

I created a file yesterday in Pages Version 5.1. Today I went back to open that file and a box popped up saying I need a newer version of Pages to open that file. Any thoughts??
You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

iPhoto - When I add new photos to iPhoto from my iMac they do not appear in the "Photos" library. They do appear in Last Import. Any thoughts?
If you are seeing your photos in "Last Import", the photos are somewhere in your library. Perhaps the dates are wrong, and you do not see the photos arranged by date, where you expect them to be.
Select one of the photos on "Last Import", then ctrl-click it and select "Show in Event". That will take you to the event in event view.

Any way to name Spaces desktops?
