Best mac compatible digital frame?

What is the best mac compatible digital frame?

For a high quality portable audio recorder, I've been very happy with the Olympus LS-10, but it is more expensive that the ordinary voice recorder, on the order of $250USD. If you want quality, this has it. I am disappointed at the sound quality of the voice recorders I have tried. It's stereo, about the size of a pack of cigarettes (if anybody remembers that). The built-in microphones are not perfect for music (reduced bass and boosted highs), but are excellent for voice. The device records about 10 hours continuously on 2 AA batteries. It has tiny speakers and earphone jack, and an iPod-easy menu system. It requires no software to transfer files. You connect the USB cable to the Mac, and the recorder shows up on the desktop for you to move whatever files you wish. You can record in WAV, MP3 or WMA formats at several bit depths and sample rates to balance quality with file size.
There are many competing products (Sony, Tascam, Marantz, others) that have some similar characteristics, but I have no experience with them - except some Zoom products I tried were poor.

Mac compatible Digital voice recorder

I'm looking to buy a Mac compatible Digital voice recorder for interviews (I'm a journalist). Needs are one that is easy and basic, where I don't need to download any software if possible. I'm going to be doing lengthy interviews and need something that can stand up to travel & length of time (about 2-3 hrs per interview). Thanks for an input. Apple store couldn't help.... thanks!

Best Mac compatible cell phone/PDA?

I'm in the market for a new cell phone/PDA and I need some help. I'm currently considering the Treo 700P because of it's smooth, trouble-free integration with the Mac OS using The Missing Sync (http://www.markspace.com/).
It seems like the Treo 700P will do everything I need it to except for allowing me to check and send emails while on the road. Although this is possible with EVDO, I think my carrier, Verizon Wireless, charges about $25 per month for this service, which makes it way too expensive for the small amount of time I'll be using that feature.
Another solution is a device with WiFi capabilities, which will allow me to check and send emails at various hot spots, like hotels. I know that you can add WiFi capability to the 700W, but I've heard that the Windows OS doesn't play very nicely with Macs.
To recap, here's what I need in a cell phone/PDA solution.
1. Dependable
2. Mac compatible
3. Able to integrate with Mail and Address Book
4. Will allow me to check and send emails cost effectively
Given these parameters, what do you recommend?
Thanks,
Kelly

I have a Treo 700p and I love it. I have had it since early September. I sync it with three Macs and it integrates nicely with iCal, Address book, etc. I use Missing Sync to sync. You can get Missing Sync at http://www.markspace.com
I can't claim the 700p is the best smart phone for use with the Mac because its the only one I have tried, but it works well for me.

Mac-compatible digital recorders?

Hello all,
I"m a college student going back to school in a few days, and I'm looking for a digital voice recorder that will let me record lectures and then play them on my Mac, preferably in iTunes.
I've seen a bunch of different recorders on the internet but none seem to be Mac-compatible. Some of the Olympus recorders claim to be compatible, but customer reviews say that they don't get all the computer-based features that the company promises. Additionally, I've seen recorders that attach to iPods, but I'd prefer to not carry my iPod to every class. Has anyone found a digital recorder that ACTUALLY works well with their Mac?
I'd appreciate any guidance. Thanks in advance!

I know Olympus makes one as some of our employees use them but the model number escapes me at the moment. Visit their website and you'll probably find them.

What is the best Mac-compatible Alternative to Quicken and why?

I made the jump to Apple desktops when my PC went on the fritz. I was using Quicken 2013, mostly for tracking accounts and forecasting spending, but not the higher end stuff like paying bills, tracking investments, etc.
I wanted to ask the group if anyone has experience with a Mac-compatible alternative to Quicken, especially one that imports Quicken qif files. I'd also like to know what features you like best about said alternative.
(My entry may be a bit vague, so if you need more info to post a response, please ask.)

Mac compatible digital photo frames?

Hi
I am looking for a digital photo frame that is compatible with my Macbook. Does anyone know if they exist?
Please help.
Craig

I just found & purchased a Philips one on Amazon. I got the 6.5" version. The link below is for the 8" version. It got high marks from reviews and many mentioned that it was easy to use with a Mac. Plug and play. They hooked them up with the USB cable to their mac and copied over the files and it's done.

What's the best mac-compatible memory stick?

The 2Gb memory stick I've just bought won't store files that have a forward slash in the title, which means me changing hundreds of file names before I can use it. Is this standard or is there a more compatible stick that I can use?

Hi, SCWP, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Your inability to use a "/" in filenames has nothing at all to do with the RAM module you've installed. Quoting from Mac OS Help:
You cannot use a colon (:) in the name of files and folders. Mac OS X uses this character to separate folders in pathnames.
In addition, some applications may not allow you to use slashes (/) in the names of items.
I suspect the applications that don't allow slashes in filenames are probably ones that write their files in cross-platform formats, so that a Microsoft Windows-based version of the application can open them directly. The slash and many other characters are illegal in Windows filenames, so it's best to avoid them on a Mac when naming files that may be shared with Windows users. Here are the characters Windows doesn't allow:
[ ] / \ = + ; : " , | *
Note that you've posted your question in a Titanium Powerbook G4 forum, and no Titanium Powerbook can use any 2GB memory module (Tibooks are limited to a maximum of 1GB of RAM, in two 512MB modules.) I don't know what Mac model you have, but in future you may get help faster by posting your questions in the most appropriate forum(s).

What is the best Mac Compatible wireless router?

Hi,
I currently use a D-Link Dsl 300T Modem plugged directly into the computer. I used to use it with the airport express, but that went pop and stopped working a few months ago. I'm moving house and will need to set up a wireless network that several computers will be running off. (I used to have problems with the D-link modem when I ran several computers off it before) So could I just by a wireless router with a modem combined instead of buying a new modem and an airport express again? What are the best non Apple wireless routers out there?
Many Thanks
Rob

I would be very grateful for any suggestions regarding a good quality mini voice recorder that will work well with my imac.
When i say work well, I mean one that will download material from the recorder to mac as simply as possible.
I believe the olympus range may be my best bet. Any particular models anyone can recommend.
Thanks so much for your help
Regards

Best MAC compatible NAS device?

Hey.
I am looking for a NAS device to use with my iMac and MacBook. Therefore, I was wondering if anybody knows if any of the NAS manufacturers such as NetGear, Synology, QNAP etc. has specialized in Mac compatibility?
If so, which NAS device would you recommend? I am looking for a NAS device with 2 bays for drives.
Thank you for your help
Best regards,
Jesper Pedersen

From my brief experience with Synology, I would like to elaborate on something Laplace noted.
Synology is not Mac-friendly. It is the antithesis of Mac-friendly if only for one reason:
The ext4 file system.
The ext4 file system disallows particular file name character combinations to the extent that many files on an HFS+ file system (i.e. Mac's) simply cannot be transferred onto the device.
Including, but not limited to, ANY invisible Mac file. Or any file with an underscore at the beginning. And the list goes on.
Why custom partitioning is not allowed is a mystery to me. If there is no way around the issue, it's a bad system for Macs, period. Anyone who tells you otherwise probably doesn't use NAS for network file storage and sharing, which is supposed to be any NAS's main job.
In summary, Synology and Mac, as they currently stand, do not mix well.
Not to mention, file names with underscores at the beginning, etc., are not too uncommon on NTFS file sytems either (i.e. Windows'). So Windows users should keep an eye out as well.

Best mac compatible mouse for photoediting?

I am new to photoediting and just purchased Lightroom 5. I own a MacBook Pro and am wondering if those of you who have tried different mouses over the years have a favorite one best suited for editing. I am not a professional, just an enthusiastic beginner.
Thanks!

I don't think any particular mouse is better than another for photo editing. You probably want a two button mouse with a scroll wheel but this is the basic mouse anyway. Some people like more buttons to attach keyboard shortcuts and the like but it's never seemed worth it to me. Go cheap and simple is my recommendation.

Mac compatible - Digital Voice Recorder Advice

Hello Everyone,
I am looking for advice on a good, mid-range, but professional voice recorder to buy. I have a canon 5D2 and would like to use something like the H4n to record the audio and edit it in post.
Does anyone on this forum have a tip on what to get?
Thank you very much in advance for your help!
Tupy.

There's many portable recorders on the market now but I've yet to find something better than Sony's products if you're looking for quality.
Check out either the PCM-D50 or the PCM-D10:

Zoom are interesting but the build quality is always on the cheap side.

Compatible Digital Photo Frame?

I'm trying to find a digital photo frame which is reliably compatible with Mac files (i.e. iPhoto), for both photos and video. I didn't think it would be such a big deal but now that I've started researching it, I'm finding all sorts of complaints about incompatibility, especially with, for example, .mov files.
The product I'm seeking is intended to be a gift for my elderly grandmother (90 years old) so it has to be simple to use (in other words, I'm not going to get her an iPod touch-- just a simple frame, on which I can pre-load photos and videos, would be ideal.)
Any ideas?
Thank you so much in advance, and forgive me if this question should be posted elsewhere.

Old Toad (love the name!)-- Thank you for the response, and the tip on converting the video files. I think I will try that out, and maybe take a card or thumb drive into Best Buy or Fry's and see if I can test it.
Can anyone confirm success with putting short videos (created on an Apple device, such as an iPhone) on a digital photo frame? I spent hours Googling yesterday and could find no actual testimonials of such...
Seems like a pretty basic thing that people would like to be able to do these days, with all the file/video sharing. I know most people just physically hand over a phone or other device and say, "here, look," but I'm sure I'm not the only one with elderly grandparents who never got much beyond using an electric typewriter, and when you can't be physically there to show them something on your own device or computer, there needs to be a simpler solution. I'm looking at frames because those seem to be the least intimidating for an elderly person, as they don't "feel" as much like space-age electronics.
If anyone has any other options other than a digital frame (I was even considering a small, portable DVD player that would play photos & vids burned to a disc, but that's getting sort of ridiculous), I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks so much.

Digital recorders are not Mac compatible are they?

I see digital recorders frequently, but have yet to find one that is Mac compatible. Does anyone know of one, or are you still using tapes?
John

Hey John,
Not too many out there, I agree. The only one I could find is pretty darn high end. The Olympus DS-2300. However, at $250, its got a pretty steep price point. But, its got a lot of features and seems pretty nice. Hope this helps!
