Does APC's PowerChute V1.34 work well with Tiger?

Has anyone loaded APC's PowerChute personal edition V1.34 software for Mac?
Does it work well with Tiger/Leopard or cause problems?

Although I installed the APC PowerChute 1.3.4 (the version that supports Intel-based Macs, which is what I have), I ended up trying to use the 'Energy Saver' tab-> UPS (settings) -> UPS.
In there, I set it to have the computer :
1) Shutdown the computer when it has been on UPS power for : 5 mins
2) Shutdown the computer when the time left on UPS power is : 15 mins
3) Shutdown the computer when the UPS power level drops to : 70%
I unplugged the UPS from the wall and watched the timer tick down, and the battery capacity drain... it was unplugged for well over 10 mins (criteria 1 should have fired, but didn't), it went down below 10 mins left on UPS, based on the tool bar indicator (criteria 2 should have fired, but didn't), it went down to about 45% full (criteria 3 should have fired).
Net result, I didn't wait for the Mac to crash, eventually, I lost in the game of chicken, and plugged the UPS back into the wall, with about 7 minutes of UPS time, 40% of UPS Battery Level, and having unplugged the UPS for about 10 minutes +.
Why is the Mac not shutting down ?
I do have the cable plugged into the UPS (APC UPS ES 650 G), and the other end is plugged into the USB port (I'm guessing I have that connected right, otherwise, the tab wouldn't show up in Energy Saver, and I wouldn't have the information about the UPS status available to me on the Mac).
Help ?
Thanks,
Andy

Does the Panasonic AG-HMC150 AVCHD work well with FCE?

My buying finger is poised over the "send" button so that I can buy a Panasonic AG-AMC150 AVCHD camcorder, but I read a couple of reviews which have given me pause.
One says that FCE does not work well with this camcorder and I need a REaLLY powerful Mac or I am sunk.
Yet another says that working with this 'corder's AVCHD and FCE is a pain in the neck.
A little first hand knowledge would be an enormous help. Thank you.
(PS They did not use the words 'sunk' or 'neck.')

Sasha, once again, thank you.
No questions, but for the sake of completeness, and to assist those who may read this thread, let me make a couple of comments.
I like this camcorder, because of its features and price, and I am about to buy it. If I were doing event work, such as weddings, I don't think I would. I make family documentaries and scripted movies, so a shoulder mount is not important to me.
I like to buy from Amazon. They sported a low price and I have always had an excellent experience with them. Their supplier is Willoughby's whom I looked up on Sellerratings.com. The reviews I read there led me to decide to buy nothing else from Willoughby's, just the camera, and to examine it carefully when it arrives to make sure that it is in its original sealed packing. I recommend that you check Sellerratings.com before placing an order, too. I trust Amazon, but I am sending off my order with some trepidation. I shall buy a larger battery and some SD cards elsewhere. (The battery that comes withe the camcorder seems to be universally despised.)
Beware of the reviews on the Amazon site. A large number of them, mostly mis-spelled, are, to me anyway, suspiciously rapturous. No camcorder is that good. One reviewer said that the HMC150 changed his life. Really?
The Panasonic site has a wealth of detail about this camcorder.
I found some good and useful info on YouTube, too, particularly one video which showed a videographer using the this camcorder and explaining his set-up procedures step by step.
Much about requirements and compatability can be seen in this thread. Thank you Sasha
OK That is enough. Hope this was of some help.

Does a belkin pre-n router work well with a macbook?

Hello, I have a macbook and am going to purchase a wireless router. I've been looking at the belkin pre-n router and have read some great reviews, but none used a mac to test the router. So does anyone have experience with this router and if so, would you recommend it? (or does anyone recommend a different router?) Thanks.

Using a MacBook you would not gain any of the alleged benefits of using a pre-n router.
Performance wise, a MacBook would work just as well with any wifi certified 802.11g wireless router.

Does Office 2004 Student Teacher edition work well with our new MBP?

Hello All,
I have an older copy of MS Office 2004 for Mac: Student/teacher. Does it run well on our new MBP's?
I also run iWork 09' but need Office for work. I have read online that the newest MS Office is not that good.
Thanks

Hi,Office 2004 is designed for PowerPC processors, so you have to use Rossetta to have it work with the new mbp, as it is based on Intel processors, and the performance may not be very satisfactory.
Office 2008 is a Universal application and runs well on Intel Macs.

New FocusTraversalPolicy Mechanism Does Not Work Well With OO Designs

I would like to complain about the new focus traversal mechanism not working well with object-oriented GUI designs.
Specifically, we have many reusable panel classes that can be swapped in and out of reusable dialog classes. On some of these panels, the default focus traversal is not what is desirable, perhaps because one component on the right side of the window is just slightly higher than a component on the left side, maybe due to the component on the right having a label on top, and so the default focus goes to the component on the right instead of the left. So we have a need to be able to explicitly define the order of components in some panels.
If I try to define a focus traversal policy in the panel's constructor, a NullPointerException is thrown because the panel's focus cycle root is null (the panel has not been added to any dialog or frame yet).
If I try to associate a focus traversal policy at the dialog level, it would have to explicitly reference its child panels' inner components, which would break the encapsulation of the panels. It would also make it hard to have generic dialog classes into which various reusable panel objects can be swapped.
Someone suggested making each panel a focus cycle root. This makes it hard to "break out" of one panel to move on to the next panel in the dialog. Special keys would have to be assigned to try to cycle out, and these keys would have to be different than the normal traversal keys, making them inconsistent and nonintuitive to the user. Also, the focus policy would have to know if the dialog had more than one panel, what order the panels were in to know whether to cycle to the next panel or not, etc. This is a mess.
Does anyone have any idea how to get around these problems? I have tried using a global focus policy with a global hash map of prev/next component key-value pairs, but we are still running into trouble with some deeply nested tabbed dialogs. It's just not possible to always have the focus cycle root in existence at the point where you want to explicitly define traversal between two components, or when you are trying to establish the default component for a panel in a tabbed pane.
Has anyone else run into similar issues?

I agree completely. One of the popular consultants on this forum stated that the new focus mechanism was more versatile and only a little more complex. I would say it's more than a little complex given the trouble average programmers are having understanding how it works...at least at first...and after understanding it realizing that they are going to have type their fingers off to update their code. Oh, and the dread of maintaining this awful mess.
I'm currently having the same problem as you Robbie. Some of my reusable panels need special tab ordering...that's not usually a problem, in most programming environments, till now. Now I have to go around the world and back just to get my stupid cursor to be in the right place when I hit the tab key??!!! and special key mappings just to get out of a focus cycle...lame.
And how is an IDE graphical designer going to work with this? It's not, that's how...ok maybe if some kind person or company creates a custom focus traversal policy editor of some kind, I don't know.
Good grief Sun! We need something to help us meet our deadlines, not solutions that force us to spend 80% of our time customizing every stinking bit of UI functionality we need!!!
JTables are even worse. I've mastered most of the garbage that is JTable after many months of pain and I don't know how I'm going to help my peers understand them in any short amount of time. Most of them were Oracle Forms programmers, not that that is any great solution either. But they will likely have problems.
In conclusion, I wish I had chosen another UI technology for our new product client, and may yet.

Does 10.7.5 work well with aperture?

Does aperture work well with a Mac mini, Lion 10.7.5? was there an initial problem that has been solved? I was about to down load it when I read of some real problems. I have never used aperture. But it seemed like a good application to use with iphoto.

Aperture works well with Lion 10.7.5. and it will offer you many advanced features compared to iPhoto.
If you read about problems, they are usually caused by problems on the particular systems running the applications.
I'd check the hardware requirements. How much RAM does your Mac MIni have? Aperture is more efficient with plenty of memory. You should have at least 4GB of memory, more would be better.
Have you looked at the Tutorials at the Aperture Support page? Look at the information there to see, if you would like to work with Aperture, maybe try it out at your local Apple Store?

Does Lightroom work well with hiDPI Windows 8.1 touchscreen ultrabooks?

Hi all,
My old laptop is on the fritz, shopping for a new one.
Apart from the Web, the application I use the most is Lightroom.
I've been interested in the nice new ultrabooks, but I'm wondering: does Lightroom work well with hiDPI Windows 8.1 touchscreen ultrabooks?
Is hiDPI advantageous, or actually annoying?
What can you actually use touch for in Lightroom, and does it improve your workflow?
Thanks kindly!

I am not 100% sure whether lightroom supports HiDPI on windows but on Mac OS X it is absolutely fantastic (I use a retina MBP). So I would see if you can try it out somewhere. My guess is that Lightroom supports it on Windows too and then I can highly recommend it.
No clue if touch works well or not for Lightroom. My guess is not as almost always using touch in applications that were not designed for it is very kludgey.

HT1602 Hi, does my iPhone need to be on the left side of my body to work well with the Nike+ sensor in my shoes? I used it on my right side and the calibration was so off point.

Hi, does my iPhone need to be on the left side of my body to work well with the Nike+ sensor in my shoes? I used it on my right side and the calibration was so off point. I recently got a Bluetooth headphone and the antennae is on the right ear piece. For seamless connection am required to have my iPhone on my right arm if am using the headphone outdoors.

I was wondering this too. Did you ever get an answer? I just bought a non-nike pair of sneakers and have a pod pouch now on my laces. I have it tight, at the lower part of the laces so its flat. When its on the left side my time is very similar to what it was when I used the nike shoes. When it is on the right side, my time is about 35sec/mile higher. I wonder which is more accurate and if you are supposed to have them on the same side. If so, then that is as accurate as with my nike shoes. Hope we get an answer soon. Im about to return everything its so frustrating.

What external drives work well with a late 2011 MacBook Pro? I ask because I just found out the hard way that a Samsung EVO 840 does not. Also should I avail myself of something that works with Thunderbolt or Firewire?

What external drives work well with a late 2011 MacBook Pro (I7, Lion OS) apart from my Kingston flash and USB drive, and the SD drives that I use in my cameras and recording devices? I ask because I just found out the hard way that a Samsung EVO 840 does not. Also, should I avail myself of something that works with the Thunderbolt or Firewire connections? I'm looking to back up music and video files created and/or processed in Logic Pro and the Adobe Production Premium software suite (Premier Pro, After Effects, Audition, etc).

Hmm, not sure what problems you had installing this drive. The review here gives it good marks for Mac:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Electronics-EVO-Series-2-5-Inch-MZ-7TE1T0BW/produc t-reviews/B00E3W16OU
There does seem to be a lot of prep to make it work:
"1. Preparation to install your new shiny SSD
1.a You will need a migration tool (I used the Sabrent kit USB 3.0 to Sata that was suggested in these review) see link http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DQJME7Y/ref=oh_details_o03_s01_i01?ie=UTF8&p sc=1
1.b You will need to download a trim enabler (mid 2012 macbooks only support native trim with apple brand ssd's) I recommend going to cindori.org and downloading trim enabler version 3.xx. You can do this step before or after the OS migration
1.c You cannot use the Samsung SSD migration software *don't worry Mac has its own imaging/migration utility*"
Also in those reviews:
" Only down side when using this product in a Mac Mini is you will be required to download and install Trim Enabler so that your drive performs optimally on your Mac device. This is an Apple issue, not Samsung, but it is an extra step you will have to take after you install the hard drive, and any time you perform an OS upgrade." He rant's on.
Personally I only deal with OWC:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/
They are very knowledgable and if there's a problem they will gladly take back the item. (Never happened to me yet - 8 years and counting).
Just upgraded my 13" MBP 2011 to 120 GB for $79. Adobe CS 6 opens in 3 seconds! Awesome!
When I was in Chicago I had a pro photographer for a client. She wound up with 4 internal drives in her Pro, 4 external drives and an dual array locked in a steel vault in the basement. All from OWC. OK she was a bit paranoid. Great client though.
As far as value for price:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/MES3FH7500G/
500 GB for $130.
However as far as reliability is concerned:
http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2014/01/30/are-ssds-reliable/
http://www.extremetech.com/computing/173887-ssd-stress-testing-finds-intel-might -be-the-only-reliable-drive-manufacturer
So sudden power loss is an issue with SSDs.
Personally I'd go with a moderate sized SSD internally and a conventional external for backup. An array would be the most reliable.

Realize that people that aren't having problems tend not to "brag" that they're doing fine. Those that are having problems are usually very vocal. So a lot of the "bad reviews" may just be those that had a problem, not necessarily the real experience of the millions of people that are doing just fine.
...and I'm afraid to download it and my computer is 2009, yours runs smoothly?
I'm running Lion fine on my 2008 MBP (4,1. 2.4GHz C2D, 4GB) and late 2009 Mini (2.0GHz C2D, 8GB.) Minimum RAM for Lion is 2GB, but IMHO you really want 4GB. If you have a lot of apps open (or have demanding apps like Photoshop,) then get more RAM if you machine can handle it.
Also, make sure the rest of your apps or drivers are up to date before upgrading. Incompatible drivers for things like printers and such are what I've found to cause a lot of stability problems.

Does Canon XF100 work well with Final Cut Pro

Does the Canon XF 100 work well with Final Cut Pro 7.03

I have read the information about this camera and I have looked at several discussion groups. Apparently you cannot edit in native format with this camera. This has been confirmed to me by a Canon rep. You have to bring in footage thru log and transfer which means it takes more time as it converts. I have never had to do this before. Because I have always imported thru log and capture. So because I was wondering if anyone out there can tell me if they are using the camera and if it works well inspite of it. Or anyone has a better camera recommendation but in the price range of the XF100.
Thanks,

Does anyone know what SSD will work well/best in a Macbook Pro 2009 13.3inch 2.25 core2duo laptop

I am looking for advice on the best solid-state drive (SSD) for MacBook Pro 2009. I heard that only a few work well since there is a problem with the Nvidia chip working correctly with SSD's on these particular MBP models. I tried an Intel 520 series SSD and I was getting the "beachball" effect every 20 seconds because of the 1.5 negotiated speed link so I returned it to the store. Has anyone found a good SSD that wont give me the low negotiated speed link/ constant beachball effect?
Any help is greatly greatly appreciated, I've been trying to find a good SSD for months now but worry that I will buy one that it wont work well with my MBP like the Intel 520 series did.
Thanks again.
Using Macbook Pro 2009 13.3inch 2.26 Core2Duo, 4GB of Crucial RAM if that means anything.

You should be able to get 3.0 Gbps from your hard drive bay interface. Not sure why the Intel didn't work for you - but I wouldn't 'buy down' to a 3.0 Gbps SSD (some sold by Crucial and OWC, just to name two): get the fastest that you can so that if you upgrade your machine in the future, your SSD can travel with you.
I've had good luck with the Crucial m2 series - I've one of the 512GB models and it's worked well for me and has good Mac support. They're not the absolute fastest on the market, but they're good and solid.
