Hand Held GPS Mac Compatibility?

Does anyone know if there is a hand held GPS unit, suitable for hiking, geocaching, that is completely, totally right-out-the-box compatible with
our Mac, OS X? But then, even if there were, the available yummy software that
is out there probably wouldn't work...why is everything so difficult at least for me...sob...
thanks,
Sandy

Mp3 players - mac compatability ? (NOT itunes compatability )

hi
i want to buy a cheap mp3 player ...
btw i dont use itunes music store so i dont need any compatability
with itunes buttons and all that.
i want to use it for my audio book collection.
I'm a bit confused about the mp3 player- mac compatability debate.
Seems like when alot of people say mp3 players are bot compatable with macs - what they mean is not compatable with itunes music store downloads.
Am i correct in thinking that all mp3 players can be mounted as external drives and i could drag n drop folders of mp3s - and that this is a universal rule of thumb ?
If this is so, does it not mean that all mp3 players are effectivly compatable with macs ? If it doesnt , then why ?
Thanks for helping me work this out

I think, as you said, it is that they have not written any software to specifically work with the Mac. Also, even if they think it should work with a Mac, in the case of a Mass Storage Device, if they haven't specifically tested their products on the Mac, they are not going to claim any compatibility to avoid angry customers if it turns out to not work as smooth as they assumed.
I use a flash drive, 512MB Sandisk model, and previous used a 128MB Lexar version. In both cases I never really had any trouble using these in Mac and Windows systems and in fact have used the same flash drive in Win 2000, Win ME, Win XP, Mac OS X, and Mac 9.2.2 systems and it works on all of them. It shows up as a removable drive and you can drag and drop to or from the flash drive just like any other drive on the system.
Because I want the flash drive to work on both Windows and Mac systems, I don't format with a Mac format but always use DOS format (as it is called under Mac OS). If formatting on a Windows system, be sure to use Fat32 format rather than NTFS. Mac OS X.3 can read NTFS format, but not write to it. I think Tiger might be able to write to it now, but Fat32 is pretty universal and will work on all the above mentioned operating systems.
My guess is that Sony will work just fine on your Mac.

Mac's and Blackberry's compatibility

I am not sure if this should be posted in the iSync or Mac OS X v10.5 section. So forgiven me if I have posted it in the wrong spot.
I am thinking of getting a Blackberry Phone (Because a lot of my business customers use them and would like faster responses to their emails).
I was wondering if a Blackberry and a Mac could be made compatible? If so what are the issues that I would need to resolve?
Any advice would be most welcome

Hmmmm
Sadly I have tried the Apple iPhone. I really liked it and had two (One for me and one for my partner).
Unfortunately in the UK the Apple iPhone is only available through one airtime provider, O2. I am self employed and transfered my main business number to O2 airtime provider and they could not get me working with the iPhone, the tech support was shockingly bad and I lost a weeks worth of business because they had me off the air for so long.
The apple store also tried there best and couldn't help.
After a week of getting no service at all from O2 I went back to Vodafone who could not have been more helpful. The customer service from Vodafone is outstanding. I really think that Apple should have taken which air time provider offered the best service for their product into consideration
I wouldn't place my business with O2 for a second time, If Apple allowed Vodafone to have the iPhone on their service I would jump at having an iPhone again.
I would like to add that at no point did I consider the iPhones to be an issue, It was apple appointed service provider.

A Copy of My Blog Post - BlackBerry & Mac

One thing is baffling me, why does BlackBerry not make their sync program compatible with Mac?
With a larger market share then ever, and rapidly growing, thanks to Vista. You would think that they would want to cater to those people who are making the switch from P.C. to Mac that are currently BlackBerry users. Instead, they continue to seemingly be set in their ways and only put out software that is windows compatible. Making someone like me wonder is BlackBerry is right for them.
I am now thinking about making the switch to the iPhone. The only downfall with this is that I have been a Verizon customer for going on 9 years now and am very happy with their service and coverage, and have used At&t/Cingular in the past and was not that happy with the coverage. So now I am stuck with the dilemma..Do I continue with the service and coverage of Verizon and deal with BlackBerry's inability to change with the times, or do I migrate over to the iPhone and a service that is less then lustrous.
Now, there are work-arounds for the BlackBerry. But it involves installing VMware Fusion, running Windows XP as a parallel OS. I then have to export all my contacts as a vCard from my Mac Address book and importing it into the windows and then finally using the BlackBerry. And that only resolves the issue of the contacts, not the calendar, the to-do list or the notes.
The wife makes a good point...........is BlackBerry getting a kick back from Microsoft? It sure is the only excuse that makes sense to me.
So tell me, do I stay with BlackBerry and hope that they wise up, or that MissingSync resolves their issues and supports the new MacBook compatibility issues? Or do I make the switch to the iPhone?

Hp ipod / mac compatibility

I am a Mac owner (Mac mini, running osx 10.3.9) and recently bought a used HP ipod 20gb click wheel to replace one that was stolen. Its' from ebay and I didn't know that it was hp or that there were compatibility issues.
Bottom line, the drive doesn't show up on the desktop or on itunes. Of course the disk is .exe and that doesn't work either. Is there any workaround that you are aware of? Please advise, even no news or bad news.
Thanks, Rick

Try this -> Putting iPod into Disk Mode
*I didn't know that it was hp or that there were compatibility issues.*
There isn't any compatibility issues.
*Of course the disk is .exe*
You just need iTunes. The CD is irrelevant.

Solaris Express 11 and Mac compatibility

Hi all,
I would want to use Solaris with my Mac so I tried to boot on the DVD and install the Developer version, the Mac boot on it correctly and started to install Solaris. But I have a problem with the screen (APPLE 23' with a NVidia 7300GT) when it wants to switch in the window mode, my screen freeze and the system returns to the console mode...
I tried with another screen (samsung 17') and the installation in a window mode worked !
So the problem is the compatibility with the screeen or my graphic card ? (it seems that the 7300GT is not yet supported, it doesn't appear in the listed supported devices report)
how can I do to work with my Apple screen with the high resolution (1920*1200) ?
thanks a lot...

Cindy,
Thanks for the quick reply. If I'm understanding correctly, the SCSI unmap command was implemented in last November's Solaris 11.1 release but has since been disabled due to performance problems. I'm running the original November release with no updates so can I assume that SCSI unmap is enabled on my system? If so, do I run any risk of data corruption by staying with my current version? I'm currently running Solaris 11.1 from a SATA SSD.

Mac compatibility with Autodesk

Hello,
As an architecture student, I'm working with programs such as Autodesk Autocad en Autodesk 3D Studio Max. Since my knowledge of these programs is fairly okay, I'm not thinking of switching to other programs. Now I'm planning to buy a Mac Book Pro and I was wondering what about the compatibility with Mac? I know Bootcamp and I know Parallels, and I know these are solutions to run the software on your Mac, but what about the performance? Similar to Pc or faster/slower?
And does anybody know if there is a Mac version of Autocad or 3DS in the pipeline?
Thanks in advance
ps im not sure this is the correct place to post, so excuse me if i'm wrong

Autodesk does not provide either AutoCAD or 3dsMax anymore. It's AutoCAD Mac version was an R. edition (primary to 2000) and from what I've just looked upon 3dMax v.9 is only Windows based. So, in order to have full compatibility-and save yourself the heavy burden of purchasing again-you'll have to run through BootCamp (or Parallels).The only report I've seen on this is here (and I think it's very good news):http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=500994

PC to MAC Compatibility

I am new here but looked at a friend's macbook this weekend and am thinking of getting one.
I need to make sure I can transfer over my word files, powerpoints, and pictures, I know my MP3s can easily be switched over.
How does microsoft office work? Would I have to buy a program for the mac? What about internet? I have a wireless netgear router
Thanks in advance!

As was mentioned earlier, MS Office files are a breeze with Office 2008 or any number of compatible productivity suites (some free). For the best compatibility you might just want Office 2008 for Mac. Images are generic and pretty much never platform dependent (I can use JPEGs on Macs, PCs, Linux boxes, Unix, etc with no problems). The only exception I can think of is RAW files which are dependent on the camera maker.

Internet access is via ethernet or standard wireless protocols. The only caveat may be in setting up your routers, but most routers I know of use web-based interfaces that aren't dependent on any browser or platform.

Creative Suite 6 Design and Web Premium Mac Compatability

If I purchase Creative Suite 6 Design and Web Premium (not the CC subscription plan), will it still work on my Mac with future OSX updates (to Yosemite this fall, and future updates beyond that)? Under the compatibility section is says that it will work through 10.9, but I don't want to buy something that won't work if I update my computer.

Nobody can know. That's like asking for a precise weather forecast for next year's holiday. Apple has a mind of its own and simply doesn't care and since CS6 is already several years old now, you can bet that potential compatibility issues won't get better. Either you live with that and are fit enough to deal with these issues or you need to look into other options.

Mac Compatibility?

I'm thinking of purchasing a powerbook, am wondering, since apple does its own java sdk and runtime. Can my java app that will be compiled in mac be compatible with sun's java in windows/linux/solaris

Yes.
There are the same versioning issues that are always present, regardless of platform--you can't run a 1.5 class on a 1.4 VM. But otherwise, the classes are platform-agnostic.
You do have to make sure you don't put in a lot of platform-specific stuff, like hardcoding pathnames or external executables, and, though I don't do GUIs, my understanding is that that's one area where it's a little easier to create something that won't work as well on other platforms.
For the most part though, compatibility just comes for free.

2006 intel MAC compatibility with Windows 7

As mentioned I am installing WIndows through boot camp but cannot find any details regarding compatibility for older macs (I have the very first inte that came out in '06)
I am inclined to just using the 32 bit version and I do have Snow leopard installed. Any help thank you!

You might want to visit the Boot Camp forum. https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp

Form Mac Compatibility

I created a form in Acrobat 8 on a PC that contains calculated fields. The calculations work fine on PCs, but not on a Mac. Is this a known compatibility issue? Is there a fix that will allow the one form to work on both Mac and PC? Thanks.

Yes. Because They could even print it out if it was not. We keep it a sales program where they download all sales material.
I have our IT guys going to look into the file. We'll see. Thanks

BlackBerry Mac sotware crashes

Hi,
I got my Storm a couple of months back and until a few days ago didn't think I could sync it with my Mac. I was thrilled when we found the software but since then have wanted to throw the Storm in the bin. I was able to sync it the other night but afterwards relised that I had multiple entries under the same name as I had completed the address book in the BB and in my Address Book separately. I went through Address Book and cleaned it up then went to sync again but from then on it was shocking. It would prompt saying there was missing information (on the device not the computer which was weird) then it would crash (a total of 3 times). Programs never crash on my Mac so I was very annoyed.
Will enabling the mass storage fix this? I don't want to lose everything and I really don't want to resort to using a PC just so I can get the BB working to its capacity. (like others, iPhone is looking good right now) .
I would LOVE some help
EDIT: Moved to separate thread and changed subject.

Hi Paul:
Thanks for reporting this issue. We’re looking into it.
I think removing the MediaSync files from your device will help solve this issue.
Be warned, after you do this, MediaSync won’t remember any of your previous selections.
Connect your phone and enable USB Massstorage
In Windows Explorer, find the drive you’ve been using with MediaSync
The path will be something like J:\home\user\system\Media Sync
Delete all the files here.
Go to %appdata%\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Media Sync
Delete all the files here.
Try using MediaSync again.
Cheers

Blackberry mac sync

i recently converted with the rest of NY and brought a blackberry. however, there's one slight problem i can't sync it to my laptop. the cd that comes with the phone has been installed onto my comp but for some odd and slightly strange reason the two just won't connect. they are almost lost in translation if you will. now i can bring music files over and place them onto the memory card in the phone but transferring files still seems to be a problem. if anyone has a suggestion it will be greatly appreciated. thanx!

Sync for Mac is what I used on my blackberry. I use entourage for mail, its like outlook but on macs and came in the microsoft student office i bought. Google it and you should be able to find it. Mine works fine but i am guessin you are using the newest BB because of the memory card. Not sure if the program I have will work for that one.
I would be more specific but the computer im on doesnt have the program on it.
