Best Dictation Headset for MacBook

Title sums it up best! Recommendations appreciated.

If you don't mind the cost, the Airport Base Station is worth the money.
We have a Linksys router in our home and it has given us very little trouble. The only issue that we had was fixed by updating the router's firmware.
What exactly do you need with the router? Do you only need the wireless network or are you looking for something that would host your printer/a hard drive?

  • What is the best antivirus software for MacBook Pro?

    Can someone please tell mewhich is the best antivirus program for macbook pro?

    Hi..
    Both Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac and ClamXav are recomended and both are free.
    Actually, malware is more of a threat on a Mac than a virus.

  • What is the best bluetooth headset for iPhone 5?

    What is the best Bluetooth headset for iPhone 5 for talking no music?

    I've tried all the majors:  Bose (1 model twice), Motorola (2 models), Jawbone (5 models) in almost every model.
    Bose is good but such an odd nub just sitting there on your ear - bad athestics.  Device is fine but not right for me.
    Motorola seem to have troublie with iPhone specifically.   They don't stay paired and noise-cancelling has been bad.  I tried 3 pairs of the Elite Silver with no luck.  Great concept to have a case that charges the device but bad device.  Same issue with the Oasis. 
    Jawbones are good and I've had 5 of them.   They seem to degrade in voice cancelling quality over time based on feedback of people I talk to but they are solid.   I'm sure I just beat them up but they do seem to go bad. 
    My best experience have been BLUEANT, both the Q2 (bought 2) and teh Q3 (own 1).   Q2 are solid but they have this issue with a metal screen that inevitable breaks off, not affecting call quality but a pain.   Q3 have fixed that but they are just a bit bulkier.   Good features (voice answer & address book) and solid.  These are just awesome and good instant on that simply isn't true of all of the devices.  Only downside has been no battery meter on the Q2 for the iphone but a solid workhorse. 
    I just got a new Motorola Whisper and so far I'm impressed.   First motorola that has solid noise reduction and doesn't seem to have the random unpairing issue with the iphone.   It's early yet but great design and comes with a case. 
    I hope this helps.

  • Best RAM configuration for Macbook (mid 2007)

    Hi, I have a Macbook (mid 2007) with 1 GB ram and I would like to upgrade. Currently I have 2x512MB, so both of my memory slots are taken. Is it a good idea to have one 512MB card and a 2GB card in the other slot? Otherwise, what is the best RAM configuration for a mid 2007 macbook?
    I am also looking into purchasing this memory card for my macbook, is this a good choice?

    Any advice would be very much appreciated!

    Yes, I read the figure 128 in regards to the benefit. Something about interleaving, maybe?
    In doing a Google search for that article I saw, I found this:
    http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/apple-notebooks/99215-4gb-ram-my-macbook.html
    the maximum amount of RAM your laptop can take is 3.3GB. So while you can physically insert 4GB of RAM, OS X will only be able to see 3.3GB of it.
    But I don't know how knowledgeable that poster is who says it can utilize 3.3 GB. I do know that the full 4 GB shows up in the System Profiler on my MacBook Core 2 Duo 2.16 GHz.

  • Best care practices for macbook pro

    Hi I would like to be more active in preventing issues on my macbook.  I use it constantly for school and work, and I rely on it heavily, and so I want to keep it running as best as possible for as long as possible, understanding that while some degradation is inevitable, there is a lot that is preventable.  I apologize if there is another thread like this, i did search, but didnt find anything.  thanks in advance for any feedback from those much more knowledgeable than myself.  I'm runnin:
    MacBookPro8,1
    Os 10.7.2
    2.7 ghz Intel Core i7
    4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Boot ROM Version:          MBP81.0047.B24
    SMC Version (system):          1.68f98
    I'm basically looking for tips on the best diagnostics software for my system, and the best implementation of the software (run it off an external? etc) and best practices for the keeping the computer running smoothly. Thanks again. -dL

    Make redundant backups, keeping at least one off-site at all times. One backup is not enough. Don’t back up your backups; make them independent of each other. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine.
    Keep your software up to date. Software Update can be set to notify you automatically of updates to the Mac OS. Some third-party applications have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis.
    Don't install crapware, such as "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” “extenders,” “cache cleaners,” “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this kind of software is useless, or worse than useless. The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be junk. The only software you should install is that which (a) directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for: creating and editing documents, communicating, playing, and so on; and (b) does not modify the way other software works. Never install third-party software of any kind unless you know how to uninstall it.
    The free anti-malware application ClamXav is not crap, and although not needed by everyone, may be useful under some circumstances, such as being on a mixed Mac-Windows enterprise network.
    Beware of trojans. A trojan is malicious software (“malware”) that the user is duped into installing voluntarily. Such attacks were rare on the Mac platform until recently, but are now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous. There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it -- the attackers are always one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness -- not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable. Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. If a web page seems deceptive, it is deceptive. Any page that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a known corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash, must be acquired directly from the developer. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from a web page without your having requested it should go straight into the Trash. Any website that tells you that you have a “virus” or that something is wrong with your computer is rogue.
    Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users, specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” “rebuilding the directory,” or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are for solving problems as they arise, not for preventive maintenance. The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party utility called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Don’t waste money on Disk Warrior or anything like it.

  • What is the best anti~virus for macbook pro?

    What is the best anti~virus foe macbook pro?

    None whatsoever. I'm sure that you've heard the line that "Macs don't get viruses"? That's almost true - Macs can be infected with malware, however, and can pass viruses onto PCs. See Thomas Reed's Mac Malware Guide. The only two virus packages that are usually recommended are both free - Sophos and ClamXav. If you feel that you need AV software, try one or both.
    Good luck,

  • Best exercise app for Macbook

    I love the workout app I have on my iPad2, but cannot find anything similar in the Macbook store. Does anyone know of any good workout/fitness apps for Macbook? I do not plan to use home gym equipment. Thanks!

    Although you should always be cautious about opening attachments, even from people you know (e-mail accounts get hacked and used to send spam all the time), it's very unlikely that this has resulted in you being infected with anything. What was the attachment? What application did it open with?
    When you say that your Mac is unable to download anti-virus apps, what does that mean? How is it failing? Are you able to download other apps just fine? What anti-virus apps have you tried to download?

  • Headset for MacBook Pro

    What would be the best headset to use with the MacBook Pro? I have a headset that works fine on a PC, but apparently the Mic in port on the MBP needs a preamp signal.
    What USB headsets exist that work with the MBP

    I'm not sure, but I use my motorola bluetooth headset. Its convenient because i also use it for my phone. Look into a bluetooth headset, you might find you like it more than a wired one.

  • What are the best bluetooth headsets for running?

    With the new 3.0 software update, I want stereo bluetooth headsets to go running with. Any ideas on what the best brands are?

    I have the s9 as well and have discovered that the Bluetooth reception is not as good outdoors as in. When I run at the gym I don't have any dropouts at all. Outside, I need to hold the iPhone closer to the headset to prevent dropouts. Perhaps an armband is better than a pocket for this.

  • What is the best external drive for Macbook Pro?

    Migration Assistant is not moving files from my Macbook OS X 10.5.8 to My new Macbook Pro just purchased. Apple Support suggested I transfer thru an external drive. They suggested a 1 TB. They said it would be sufficient for migration and afterward for back up and storage of media and pics. What would be the best one for this purpose?
    Thank You

    Go to OWC and purchase a drive and an enclosure. Put it together yourself. Takes about five minutes and a screwdriver. Or you can purchase one already complete from them if you prefer.

  • Best tv tuner for MacBook

    I was looking into getting a tv tuner for my macbook. I have read alot of reviews about a couple products. I have seen both good and bad. Has anyone had success with a certain one? What one do you think is the best?

    I use Elgato's Hybrid. Works great, allows you to record, edit and export to various formats. You can also capture the video from VHS/DVDs and burn to DVD with built-in Toast. A little bit bigger then a thumbdrive with a USB plug.

  • Best external monitor for macbook pro 15" to use for Aperture3

    Hi, I have a macbook pro 15" running on Mountain Lion. I would like to buy an exernal monitor to work on Aperture 3. After reading on the net I am still quite confused as what is the best product to fit a good compromise for quality/price/compatibility
    My budged is under 600€, so size should not exede 24".
    Dell U2413 gets good and bad advise, not sure how it would work with Apple either. Most people talking about it are not on Apple products.
    Any of you out there can offer some personal experience on the matter?
    Thank you for your time

    Be very careful what you buy, and if at all possible test it with the computer before you buy it. A few times. These things just stop detecting external monitors for no reason sometimes, as well as just refusing to ever detect certain monitors.
    Maybe someone here has a set-up that's working for them, that's your safest option.

  • Best Wireless router for Macbook?

    I currently have a linksys wireless router, which I'm beginning to find out will not support my Macbook in using the wireless airport network I have.
    Has anyone used another wireless router (other than Airport/Airbase) that works well and is easy to install for wireless connections?
    All suggestions welcomed and appreciated.
    Thanks!

    You asked which is the "best." That would be the Airport Extreme Base Station.
    All third party routers should work, and they are all pretty easy to install if you read the user manuals.
    You did not tell us what LinkSys model you have, but most of their routers have worked well with Macs. It's possible you may only need a firmware update for the router. Check with LinkSys. Also check with their tech support to see if they have a solution for you.

  • Best wireless router for MacBook pro

    I have a new MacBook pro. I've been online (wirelessly) for weeks but now I can't get online, or if I do, I get kicked off if I try to change pages. We have several iPads which I'm on now, several windows based laptops, and a windows pc. The wireless router is plugged into the pc. Everything but the pc has problems getting online and staying online but now the Mac is the only one that cant. I've reset the router, changed ports, restarted everything so many times I can do it in my sleep. We have D-link as the router. I'm thinking that's the problem but it's only 9ish months old and has been working until now. We have comcast. Help!

    Thanks everyone for responding!
    I asked one of the workers at Best Buy about wireless routers and he suggested this one or D-Link. As well, he mentioned that it didn't really matter on what brand it was but I trust Linksys since it is with Cisco. I had a Cisco computer before I got into college with a mac.
    I ended up buying a Linksys E2000. I live in residence so it made sense for me to get that one. It was an easy set up and really fast. The E2000 is 1 level higher than the E1000. In the beginning the guy suggested the E2000 but I asked if I were to get a higher one, he suggested E2000. It took about maybe 5-10 mins to completely set it up.
