Does Mac hardware work with PC?

Hello,
I'm thinking of buying a Mac display and keyboard to use with both my Macbook Pro and desktop PC - does anyone know if the Mac displays and keyboards work successfully with a PC?
Thank you,
Azr

Very "iffy". They will "work" but there are only a few video cards that work "properly" with Apple displays. So unless you are lucky enough to have one, you may experience a number of issues not the least of which is no BIOS or startup screens, lack of controls, problems with the USB ports, etc. You would be better off (IMMHO) to go with a Sony or HP display. As to the keyboard, the layout is different so while it might "work" it will probably drive you nuts. Plus there are no windoze drivers for the Apple keyboards so the function (volume, brightness, eject, etc.) keys probably won't do what you expect either.

  • Does mac mini work with Wacom Intuos 3?

    I am considering a Mini, but must use a wacom Intous 3 tablet. A while back I saw a post that mentioned that they were not able to get it to work, but could not find any other posts about this subject. Is there anyone using an Intuos 3 with a mini and was there anything unique about hooking it up. Thanks ahead of time.

    I have a Graphire3 and can't wait to see how it runs on my mac mini. I know the Intuos drivers are awesome because, well, the Intuos is awesome! :P But the Graphire drivers are so much nicer for a mac then for windows. Haha finally I can have application-specific preferences!
    Sorry, off topic. But good luck with that Intuos! Hope it works out great!

  • Does MSN messenger work with mac?

    does msn messenger work with mac and do they update the versions frequently? i saw on the msn website that it has up to version 6.0.1 or something...is that new i will i be using an outdated version of messenger....
    all of my friends have msn messenger so, if the msn messenger for mac is so old, are there any other messaging programs that i can use to communicate with msn users??

    MSN messenger is still active in development, It has just been crippled - no Nudges, no msn games, no drawing, no a/v support etc..You can still do the basics; Talk to your friend, custom smileys/multiple convos.
    Note you can't sort contacts by e-mail (a feature I missed from Windows). Adium does attempt to solve a few problems but the group convo feature with MSN doesn't work very well - I still prefer Messenger for Mac because it holds the general 'look and feel' of MSN messenger for windows. (Kind of :P).

  • I have been unable make a FaceTime call with a 3G connection.  I get s message " You are not connected to wifi.". Does FaceTime only work with wifi?  It happened two different times, when calling a Mac laptop and an iPod which had wifi connections.

    I have been unable to use FaceTime on my iPad2 when I only have a 3G connection.  I get a message saying " You do are not
    connected to wifi."  Does it only work with wifi?

    "I have been unable to use FaceTime on my iPad2 when I only have a 3G connection"
    Correct.
    "I get a message saying " You do are not connected to wifi."  Does it only work with wifi?"
    Yes.

  • What hardware works with Logic

    Hi all! I've been a relatively happy Pro Tools user for quite a while now and know my way around it pretty well. I've been using LE 6.4 on OS 10.3.9 and 5.1.1 on 9.2.2 with a Digi 001 as hardware. Though I'm happy with Pro Tools I keep reading about Pros who compose in Logic...Gareth Jones, Depeche Mode, Alan Wilder, Erasure, Pet Shop Boys....and then bring the tracks into PT for mixing. So I've always wondered about doing this...adding Logic to my system. I tried a version of Logic a bunch of years back....Logic VS, a horrible program that was supposed to work with Roland DAWs, but really didn't. I swore I'd never use Logic again, but that was before apple bought it.
    But what hardware does todays Logic work with? I'm pretty sure I can't use my Digi 001 to record into Logic because of Digidesigns' proprietary scheme. I am NOT using the Mac audio in as a DAC. So what would be my options?

    Hi Gothboy,
    As long as you have a working Digidesign Core Audio hardware driver, you can use your Digi001 as a front-end for Logic Pro. Make sure you visit Digidesign's website and download any patches / updates that might help. Better yet, try to upgrade to a digi002 when you can (I have one for over three years running Logic Pro)
    PS I have worked with DM...they rule...and I do know what they used. You are correct in that they compose in Logic, and mix in PT. Except for the last album, which was all PT. But Martin loves Logic, and still uses it now.
    Cheers

    It will say "green" and use less power, park its head probably, and while early units had some trouble they have evolved. Variable rpm or slower rpm also. They can be much less expenisve way to add storage. 
    WD Caviar Green
    WD Green 2TB
    For the system, 640GB is a nice size. Look for 64MB cache to help insure your drive is the latest models which will also say "6G SATA 3" which is fine.
    WD Caviar Black 1TB 6Gb
    WD Black Caviar 2TB
    larger means higher density platter, I find the 1TB and larger Blacks to run hotter/warmer and companys want drives to be able to run warmer or with less cooling. - but for really cold drives other than SSD I have found all my WD 10K VRs to have the absolute coldest temps.
    Just noticed Amazon having better prices than Newegg on 1TB - and WD and Hitachi.
    Green for your external backup, for media libraries that are not high volume access, to run cool and less power. Enterprise for system and performance.  TimeMachine sometimes makes a poor backup method with some green cases.
