Hi antonisk,
As I mentioned above, the Logitech K400 is superb for the job if you can purchase one. It is light and really easy to use with the phone and LiveDock.
I think Sony Ericsson should be more specific on the website about what works with their LiveDock. It should give at least a few compatible keyboards in the description and not just wait for people to buy the product and then spend time and money finding what will work with it.
They make great costly videos showing the customer that the LiveDock can be connected to a keyboard, mouse and games controller, but don't tell us which ones to go out and buy, if you want to take up this option.
I would have thought with these options being the main reason why the LiveDock was manufactured, that they would have spent a little time finding which devices actually work with it and not just waiting for people like myself to have to trawl the internet and worst still buy products that aren't compatible.

Compatible Multi-Media Keyboards that work with LiveDock & Arc S

I've just bought a LiveDock and a Trust multimedia keyboard (model 15035-02, picture below) with a trackball mouse built-in to go with my new Arc S phone. When you plug the USB dongle for the keyboard into the LiveDock, it sees it and comes up on the TV screen, but no cursor appears and no keys function on the keyboard. I can't take the keyboard back because I will get charged a 20% restocking fee, but don't fancy buying any more, just to find they aren't compatible.
Is there a list of compatible multi-media keyboards that work with the LiveDock? I bought the phone and the LiveDock primerily to use it next to the TV for odd browsing and would love a combined Keyboard and mouse to make it easier.
Could it be I've not configured something right? Is there a menu I've missed?
Cheers
Steve

Lightroom 3 Error Working With Photos That Work With Other Apps

My Setup:
Lightroom 3.3 for Mac
iMac OS X 10.6.6
The problem:
Lightroom is unable to work with photos it used to be able to work with. In the Library Module I get the error message "There was an error working with the photo." In the Develop Module I get the message "The file appears to be unsupported or damaged."
Now I know the photos are ok because I can view them in other apps including Photoshop CS5
And these photos used to work in Lightroom.
I am suspicious it has something to do with Picasa, which I use to catalog faces. I have compared the exif data and the photos that don't work have an extra value called "Image Unique Id" and it appears to be a long hexadecimal number. Also, the software version has been modified to indicate "Picasa".
It bothers me that a world class product like LIghtroom is not robust enough to work on these files when everything else I have tried does work. The problem is LIghtroom is the primary tool in my workflow.
So has anybody seen this and know of a way to fix it?

@Pete -
Thanks for the feedback, but my I think my concern is valid. Whatever Picasa is doing to the photo other apps like Apple Preview and CS5 can deal with it. Lightroom cannot. I am not explicitly modifying the files in Picasa just using Picasa to catalogue the faces. So yes, I will quit using Picasa, but I still have hundreds (if not thousands) of photos that can no longer be processed by Lightroom and I need guidance on how to best recover these photos.
I didn't know whether the Image Unique Id is standard or not, but I do know it does not show up in the files that work, only in the files that do not work. I just assumed that it was non-standard because I did not see it on functioning files.
Also, I would argue that Lightroom should be better able to handle this kind of situation instead of just not working. Thanks again.

Model BEFW11S4 wireless router just stopped working with Mac; still works with Windows

I have the above model Linksys wireless router, hard connected to a Windows XP Pro desktop unit. I also have a Windows XP Home laptop. My wife has a Mac PowerBook laptop. On Thursday last week her laptop started having trouble connecting to Internet. Problem is intermittent--sometimes can get on and sometimes now. When on it might connect to a web site normally or sometimes takes a long (as in loooooong) time connecting. My XP Home laptop continues to connect quickly and will move from one URL to another easily; no problems. She took the PowerBook to Panera and got on the Internet with no trouble. She was on for at least a half hour and suffered no outage or slow-downs. Came back home; got the same problems as before. Only thing that has changed is a big snow on Thursday, same day as the trouble started. The relationship is probably non-existent, but it's the only thing different from Wednesday (when working well) to Thursday (when started having trouble). Any thoughts? I naturally welcome any responses. Thanks, Michael Plog

Hello people. I'm having the same weird trouble: I'm having this BEFW11S4 to which I connect via another wireless AP and a switch a Windows XP PC and a MacBook Pro computer (both with Ethernet cable connected to the switch, to which the AP is connected). Both the above computers work seamlessly, but sometimes the other iMac I have in WLAN doesn't surf anymore. It can ping both MacBook Pro and Windows XP PC, but doesn't anymore ping the BEFW11S4. Wireless connection is crypted with WEP-64 bit key. When this is happening, also from the Windows XP PC I cannot get on the web interface of the BEFW11S4. It seems to be "locked" somehow. After unplugging the power and re-plugging it in, everything works again also on the iMac. Anybody managed to solve this issue? What version of Firware do you guys have? I have 1.50.13... regards.

HT3669 I am looking for a Printer which has the "Booklet" option built in with drivers that work with os Mountain Lion 10.8.3

I need the booklet option on a printer (laser or inkjet) but am unable to find with a driver for my imac os10.8.3

So from your post I would assume that you have a file consisting of separate pages, such as a eight page Word document, and you want to be able to print this as a booklet. Do you want the booklet folded and saddle stitched as well?
I've seen this facitlity on copier-based office devices that have a mechanical saddle-finisher/booklet unit. But I have not seen a consumer product with the same.
If you are happy to fold the printed pages into a booklet, and you don't have more than four pages so stapling is not necessary, then there could be software available that will change the page order and print the individual pages in a 2-up mode in the correct order (ie pages 1 & 4 on the outside and pages 2 & 3 on the inside). A quick search found Create Booklet for Mac.

Speaker with Dock that Works with Nano 4th Generation?

Help!Is there a decent dockling speaker system out there that will actually charge the Nano 4th Generation? Many will play music, but not charge.

I would have thought so...if the bottom of the pages says Nano 4th generation, it would both charge and play. I have checked out some of the manufacturer's pages and so far none of them claim to support the 4th generation; they all stop at the 3rd generation. Perhaps they simply have not updated their webpages? And, when I bought my my spekers, I could swear that I saw them on the Apple store list as supporting 4th generation at the bottom. But, maybe not since they are not listed now. I don't want to buy another system that doesn't work. So does anyone out there actually have a 4th generation Nano and a speaker/dock that both plays and charges.

My Mac version 10.4 isn't compatible so I deleted Firefox entirely. How do I get the old version (the one that works with my system) back?

I have a Mac OSX 10.4.11. I installed the new Firefox update and when I tried to open it, it said it wasn't compatible with my compatible with my computer. I deleted it and now I would like to know how to install the old version of Firefox --or any version that works with my system. Thank you!

Last version for 10.4.11. <br />

Can't get Headphone and Mic to work with Skype

Hello, I have a 3 year old Macbook Pro and I am running OS 10.8.3. I am trying to get my USB headphone and mic to work with Skype but I'm not having any success. I have tried several different headphones with the same result. I finally phoned Skype support and they told me that there are some registry settings that are corrupted and that they could install the proper ones on my MBP for $149.99. I told them I did not want to spend that kind of money but I am curious if anybody else is having that issue and if anybody has a solution. Is it true that my registry values could be corrupted causing this issue. If I start up Parallels and open Skype in Windows 7 I have no issues whatsoever using the headphone. It works every time but I cannot get it to work on the Mac platform. I would appreciate any advice anybody might have. Many thanks in advance.
Dan

What are the system requirements of your headphones & mics? It's possible they are not compatible w/Macs and/or your current OS system.

A UPS model that works with Mac Native software to do a graceful shutdown and automatic restart during a power failure.

I've tried 3 UPS's (2 APC and one TripLite) that state they are OSX compatible, however, they do not fully respond to the native osx setting in (system Preferences/ Energy Saver/ UPS/Start up automatically after a power failure). This is what happens:
During a power outage, the OS does a graceful shutdown, but does not reboot when power is restored.
Apparently, the UPS is not notified to turn off during the shut down process. The power (on-Off-On) cycle is required by the mac to restart.
Trip lite tech support says they have software that works with Windows and linux to do this, but not mac.
I've tried two older APC UPS's, One Smart UPS1500 and a Back-UPS 1500 with the same result on two different servers and one iMac.
At this point I'm looking for a make and model of a UPS that does work. If anyone can verify a make and model that actually does this, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Its a simple test, just pull the plug on your UPS, wait for the system to shut down, and then plug the UPS back in. The system should reboot.

Many of the CyberPower UPS units are compatible. Checkout the home solutions on this page: http://www.cyberpowersystems.com/products/ups-systems.html

How can I make an icon that links to a webpage that works with Mac and Windows??

Hi!
I burn CDs with my photos and send them to clients. Besides the photos folder, I would like to include a file (similar to the .webloc files on the Mac Desktop) that can be clicked and it will be linked to my website - it will open up a browser window and go to my website . Is it posssible to make one of these icons that works with both Macs and Windows machines? Thanks!

Now it works! Thanks, Denico!
The reason I saved to text: The first time I followed your instructions, it did not work. I tried to figure out what I did wrong and saw that you wrote to "save as plain text." I did not know what this means and there was no option available to save a plain text. So I looked around and saw "save as stationery" and I guessed that maybe that was what you meant. And after that, it worked! But the next thing you know, the icons started duplicating themselves.
I guess I had made a different mistake in the beginning and I fixed it without knowing what it is.
Thanks for clearing that up.
But just one question. WHY does saving as "stationery" make an icon duplicate itself?

I just upgraded to os 10.9.5. When I try to open iPhoto, I am told that the version I have(9.3), is not compatible with the os. But it came with it when I upgraded. What do I have to do to get an iPhoto that works with 10.9.5? TIA

I just upgraded to os 10.9.5 on my 15 " macbook pro from os 10.7.5. When I try to open iPhoto, I get the message that it is not compatible with the os. How can that be??? It came with the upgrade. It says the version of iPhoto is 9.3. How do I get an iPhoto that works with os 10.9.5? TIA

This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto are compatible with Mavericks. It also indicates which versions qualify for a free upgradeto iPhoto 9.5.1 and which require a purchase:
Note 1: every day more users are reporting problems with iPhoto 8.1.2 so I've included it in the non compatible category.
Note 2: If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.1

Hi ron1098,
Try my application Dates to iCal. it runs on the Mac, but you can sync the calendar to your iOS device.
See more about Dates to iCal here. It is £4 shareware with a 2 week demo.

Wireless print server that works with Macs and Epson R1800?

Hi,
I'm looking to buy a wireless print server, which I could use as if the printer was connected directly to my Mac. So basically, it just needs to have printing over IP port (like port 9100 on HP JetDirect) and drivers for Mac OS X (or ideally, no special drivers needed at all). Devices that do sharing of the printer only over LPD (older Unix), SMB (Windows), IPP (Cups / newer Unix) or similar protocols is not what I'm looking for here.
The reason why LPD, SMB and IPP are not an option is that I'll need utilities such as Epson Printer Utility to work over the network too.
It looks like Linksys, Belkin and some other have products that allow access to the printer over port 9100 (standard HP JetDiret's port) as if the printer was connected directly to the computer. However, for the most part I was able to find only success stories for Windows users.
Windows has standard driver that allows connection to the printer to be easily switched from USB port to network port. Does OS X comes standard with that feature, or is the special driver needed?
Most importantly, has anybody had success with printing from Mac through wireless print server (any brand) to Epson R1800? Did the Epson Print Utility (checking the ink levels, checking and cleaning the head, etc) work? Any special drivers needed?
Thanks

direwolf has hit the nail on the head - the Epson driver won't work for IP printing. The Epson driver is a Carbon driver, where they build the comm protocols into the driver instead of enabling use of the standard protocols on OS X (that are part of the CUPS system). You'll need a CUPS driver to use the standard network protocol(s). The printfab driver is a CUPS driver.
Exception - the Apple Extreme/Express/etc print servers have firmware that make them work like Macs - Mac-to-Mac sharing works with USB-only drivers! I hesitate to recommend the Extreme/Express, because Apple can't seem to get all the kinks out.

What is the best way to record a project to an external recorded via firewire. Also, who makes a recorder that works with a mac?

What is the best way to record a project from the timeline to an external recorder via firewire? Also, who makes a recorder that works with a mac and recordes in realtime? This is possible right?

While theoretically possible, sometimes the camera people disable recording back to tape from the computer due to DRM (digital rights managment) issues. They will allow tape to tape transfers however.
Test your process first is all I can advise.
