Can anyone recommend a Bluetooth Mouse & keyboard?

Hi Guys,
I've finally installed Bluetoothand AirPort into my Mac Mini & was wondering if anyone could recommend a mouse & keyboard they're happy with? I'm put off by the hefty price tag on the Apple products!
Many thanks for any help you can give.
Paul

"One thing is for sure! Do not buy the Apple bluetooth keyboard!"
I couldn't disagree more. I have two Apple BT keyboards which I use with my 17 inch PowerBook, G4 Mac Mini and CoreDuo Mini. The keyboards work perfectly every time.
I even spilled beer into my first BT keyboard back in November, 2003. After submerging the whole unit in the bathtub, flushing it out with distilled water and allowing it to dry thoroughly for two days, the keyboard fired up immediately and it's been working perfectly ever since. How's that for a testimonial!
Bluetooth mice are another matter. I've had too many disconnections and failed pairings with my Apple BT mouse and my MS Intellimouse BT. Of the two, the Apple mouse works better but not by much. Reading through these forums it seems no third party Bluetooth mouse works more reliably than Apple's. Sporadic disconnections seems the Devil's bargain for BT mice on the Mac.

Can anyone recommend good bluetooth earphones to listen to radio apps on the iPad?

Can anyone recommend good bluetooth earphones for listening to radio apps on the iPad?

While not many systems come in wood grain, I'd go for a 2.1 system instead of 2.0 if your looking for better sound and bass.
I really like my 2.1 Systems | Creative Inspires, but also check out Logitech or perhap even Klipsch and Bose if your budget allows for those.

Can anyone recommend an ergonomic mouse?

I'm experiencing major pain in my right hand. My mouse hand. Can anyone recommend a really good ergonomic mouse? Has anyone had experience with the OrthoMouse? I like wireless mice a lot, but I'll plug in to get rid of this pain. ALSO - I use an external Apple keyboard. I don't seem to be having any issues YET, but I'd consider an ergonomic keyboard if anyone is a fan of particular keyboards. I really appreciate your help. I'm a freelance business writer, and I'm on my computer for hours and hours every day. The pain in my right hand (especially the muscles of my thumb) is becoming debilitating.

I was not offended. I apologize if my mode of writing someitmes comes across that way.
I was just trying to reinforce the idea that the answer yo get may be from someone who is 6-3 (with appropriately large hands) while you may be 5-6 with small hands.
In short, our answers are probably irrelevant.
BestBuy also has a nice return policy if you choose incorectly the first time.

Can anyone recommend a good mouse...

I want to be able to control Keynote 3 presentations via a Bluetooth mouse. Not just advancing slides, though - I need to be able to go back a slide, go back a build etc as well.
I have the standard Apple bluetooth mouse, but as a one-button mouse, it's not as flexible as I'd like.
Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks in advance for your intelligent counsel!

I don't think a bluetooth mouse is the best way, there are of course loads of cool ways to control keynote:
Salling Clicker, amazing application for bluetooth remote from your mobile, provides excellent keynote control!
Apple IR Remote, although apple don't ever mention is, if you have a computer with an IR Sensor (iMac g5 / intel / mini / MacBook Pro) the apple remote will control your keynote presentation.

Can anyone recommend a bluetooth keyboard and mouse for a PlayBook?

My computer stopped working and I thought I can make do with my PlayBook but I need a reliable keyboard and mouse. I've looked at other posts but they are really old, so I was wondering if anyone is currently using anything that works well. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Can anyone recommend a new mouse for Ilustrator?

Hi
I am running Creatice Cloud with Illy CS6 on Windows and I need a new mouse
I would love something that lets the wheel side scroll
Any recommendations?
I am running a HP Probook so I can handle bluetooth
Regards Tom

Use of a stylus is entirely a matter of personal preference and style. It is certainly not necessary and is grossly misleading to characterize it as "best," as if it's some kind of necessity.
I dare say my work qualifies as "professional" as anyone's but I personally have little to no use for a stylus in a vector drawing program. I find them awkward and tedious. If you use the very small handful of features which can take advantage of pressure-sensitivity, then obviously a stylus is advantageous for those features. That's more a matter of drawing style; certainly neither a matter of necessity nor of professionalism.
There is nothing Illustrator-specific regarding sideways scrolling. So if whatever mouse you chose provides for it by the wheel, then it will probably work in AI as it would in any other app. Just use whatever mouse you like. I like a small "notebook size" wireless optical mouse with decent resolution that works well on a desk surface without the need for a mousepad, and a model without a kazillion buttons that are too easy to inadvertently invoke. I typically buy the Microsoft branded "laptop" mouse with two buttons and a scroll wheel (not the 10-button ones), and use them for all my desktops and laptops. The scroll wheel scrolls horizontally when pressing Ctrl; zooms when pressing Alt. I use an even smaller mouse for my netbook, because it packs away well in the case.
But again, it's just personal preference.

Can anyone recommend a BT mouse for a PowerBook with OS X 10.3

Just wondered which BT mouse set up you guys can recommend. I understand the Mighty Mouse is not compatable with 10.3 and as an Apple Newbie, I want to make sure I buy the correct one.

Just recently, I picked up a BT mouse and keyboard set. Since it looks like you're from the UK, I did a quick search found that it is avaiable in the UK - It works just fine. The Kensington products have been reliable for my needs. Here's the UK link: http://uk.kensington.com/html/6655.html
Hope it's helpful.

Can anyone recommend a decent mouse?

Hi,
I am looking for some reliable mouse recommendations. I have a Logitech MX 1100 now but the pointer has become very inaccurate. I am not sure if there is a way to fix that.
1. Wired
2. Wireless
3. Bluetooth
Thanks!

Logitech Anywhere MX. Only problems I have with the 2 I own is the scroll wheel is not as positive as other Microsoft mice I've had.

Can anyone recommend a bluetooth barcode scanner for iPhone?

I'd like to be able to integrate a bluetooth hand-held barcode scanner with the iPhone, but can't seem to find any on the market that are compatible w/iPhone, just Windows compatible (Blackberry, HP, etc). I want to be able to scan book barcodes and lookup pricing on Amazon for a book shopping + selling business. Don't even mention the RedLaser app b/c it won't work with Amazon and is painfully SLOW! Thanks!

but can't seem to find any on the market that are compatible w/iPhone
That's because there aren't any. Bluetooth in the iPhone doesn't have the required profiles to allow communication with a barcode scanner.

Can anyone recommend a PC keyboard that is similar to the Mac keyboard?

I own a macbook pro at home, but have to use a PC at work. The differences in the two keyboards are making it difficult to type -- lots of typos, etc. Can anyone recommend a mac-alike keyboard for the PC?

The MacBook Pro built in keyboard isn't ideal for typists, nor can it handle a lot of wear and tear.
If you wear out the built in keyboard, then you might not be able to perform essential at boot key commands if needed.
What you can do is use one ideal keyboard for both and this is currently the best kind, handles a lot of pounding and gives tactile and audio feedback.
There is also a option for no markings on the keys, to force you into being a touch typist.

Can anyone recommend a backlit keyboard to use with the Macbook Pro?

I like to hook my laptop up to a larger monitor and work that way while at home with an external keyboard hooked up by usb. I am using an older mac keyboard but its hard to see the keys if the room is not well lit. Can someone recommend a backlit external keyboard to use with the macbook pro that has a number pad? This seems really hard to find for some reason... Thanks!

Logitech makes a USB-powered backlit keyboard but it is for Windows PCs. You should check its Web site to see if it has a similar one for Macs.

Emergency Can anyone recommend a Solid authoring program?

Can anyone recommend a Solid authoring program other than Encore? I have just started using Encore CS3 and have run into a lot of bugs. I have used Sonic in the past and found it pretty reliable but have not been shopping around for awhile.
It needs to be able to burn DVD and Blu-ray discs.
Thank you!!!

For DVD authoring, we use Scenarist. It's the first authoring system we used that didn't cause us to miss project deadlines due to peculiar and cryptic errors, or sluggish UI. I can work in Scenarist as fast as I can move the mouse and type on the keyboard. No waiting. We tried numerous other DVD authoring apps from 2001 - 2003 and none of them were reliable enough for commercial production work, plus, discs made with the consumer programs frequently failed to play or function properly on the majority of available DVD players. When we switched to authoring in Scenarist, all problems stopped. You take a 2 week course at Sonic to learn how to use the system and once you grasp how it works, there's nothing else like it.
Presently, there isn't a market for Blu-ray that justifies Scenarist BDMV, so we're stuck dabbling with Encore, which is like trying to swim in rubber glue. Maybe if the UI were 50X faster than it is now, it would be tolerable to work in, but the present version makes you wait for every mouse click. Move to a different point on the timeline and you could be waiting five or more minutes. Absurd. No such delays with Scenarist--I can navigate around instantly, drop in chapter markers, add multiple angles, do mathematical operators using the GPRMs to control program flow and menu behaviors.. the list is enormous.
Encore is finicky, won't work on some systems, requires patches and updates to the OS and various parts of the OS subsystem in order to fix several unknown errors, and is just glacially-slow. I have a hunch they make it that way as part of their agreement with Sonic to license some Sonic technology in Encore, otherwise, why would a disc authoring facility spend 125X the price of Encore to author Blu-ray? Crippling the Encore program so it's too slow to be used by anyone in a production environment would make sense, if my hunch is correct. Product segmentation, is what it's called. You cripple the low end product so as not to impinge on the sales of the high end product.

Can anyone recommend a lightbox software that is completely 508 compliant?

Can anyone recommend a truly 508 compliant lightbox software? By that I mean, you can access the lightbox with the keyboard only (no mouse action at all), i.e. you can tab through the lightbox gallery, access any links for more info within the pop up box, close the last box in the gallery, not have the screen reader read all the html in addition to captions, and make sure that the screenreader knows there is a lightbox there and announces it.
I bought Ajatix Lightbox v.3.1.6.0 plug in for Dreamweaver as it said it was 508 compliant. It makes beautiful lightboxes but it has some problems in that I cannot close the last lightbox in the gallery without tabbing through the rest of the site and landing back on the page link and reloading the page. Also accessing a link within the pop up is just as problematic. You have to tab through the rest of the site again until it lands on the link. Long winded. Perhaps this is as good as it gets? I've been back and forth with Ajatix who have tried to help but there doesn't seem to be a clear cut way to make these items easier.
Just thought I'd ask to see if anyone else had run into this?
Thanks in advance!
Pam

Focus is the main problem in Modal Windows. I think that unless you have the skills to code your own, it's probably best to avoid them.

Can anyone recommend a process for moving just my OS and Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom to the SSD?

I have an early 2011 MBP running Mountain Lion. I just removed the superdrive and added an SSD. I want to use it to boot from and also run Photoshop and Lightroom from. Can anyone recommend a process for moving my OS and those programs to the SSD?

I'm assuming your doing this because of data you don't want pernament on the SSD as they can' be scrubbed like hard drives can.
Disconnect any other drives.
1: Format the SSD 1 partition, click the box, option GUID and OS X extended journaled as the format.
2: Download Carbon Copy Cloner.
3: Clone your MacintoshHD partition to a blank powered external drive also formatted the same as above.
4: Hold option/alt key and boot the machine (wired or built in keyboard) and then select the clone to boot from,
5: Once in the clone, click it's drive name and change the name if it's the same as the OS X boot volume.
6: On the clone, head to System Preferences > Accounts and create a new Admin account.
7: If you need to move files between accounts on the clone, see this. Combine two+ Users Accounts on the same machine (be careful that your selecting the correct clones other account)
8: Once your moving files on the clone is complete, then log into the new user account and delete the old user account.
9: Use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the clone to the SSD.
10: Use Disk Utiltiy to repair permissions on all drives.
The SSD should be moved to the HD slot and the HD to the optical slot and used as a file drive.
CCC has a option to not include certain folders like the other user account you don't want, however I tend not to recommend things that are not too far out of line with Apple's ways of doing things as it usually results in bad things occuring. Somewhere in OS X it's recorded of that other user account, so it might still show up in logins and such.
Also you may want to transfer some files to the other account, so that's why I recommend this method.
Good Luck
