  • Wireless control pad for MAC

    I'm after a wireless game pad for my mac I see that the xbox 360 has USB and wireless controllers.
    Does anyone know is I can use a wireless xbox 360 pad or not and if not what would you recommend I use.
    Cheers

    This forum is for non-technical questions and only for providing feedback about the forums themselves. 
    In future you should note the Red text at the top of the pafge and post in another forum.
    You may find this application useful. It allows you to use an xbox controller on OS X. I can't confirm whether the wireless controllers work -do they have a USB dongle? or Bluetooth ?

  • Game Controller for Mac?

    I'm not sure if I'm in the right forum. Is there a forum for gaming?
    I am looking to purchase a game controller for our Mac for games like Call of Duty 4 and Madden. My son wants the xbox 360 controller and I found online elsewhere (tattiebogle.net) that if I buy that one I have to download a driver for the OS X. Is this correct and is this safe to do? Is there another game controller that will work just as well or better that you would recommend?
    Thank you!

    Is there a forum for gaming?
    Not on Apple's site, but there are hundreds of them elsewhere on the Web.
    These forums are for questions about Apple products, and Apple doesn't produce any games. With all the other gaming sites and forums available, Apple has apparently decided not to burden its forums (already the most heavily trafficked ones anywhere on the Web) with gaming. Still, your post here may draw suggestions, so keep an eye on it.

  • Cooling pad for Mac Mini

    Does anyone uses cooling pad with a Mac Mini. If so, could you please provide some suggestions? I am not looking for a bigger one, rather it should occupy minimum space and fits the mac mini. Thanks.

    The devices available to allow a Mini to set on its side, appear viable if practical in
    the space you have available for your gear. An older Mini I have can stay on its
    side without a holder-upper; the newer one is too thin that direction to allow it.
    For now, I've found that four similar height re-used items that can fit under the
    corners of the Mini, keep it elevated further off the desktop, help keep it cooler.
    These could be durable thermal plastic, or just cut-offs of similar shape metal
    so the computer sits flat. Since the newer Mini has that round base, if you do
    set up something to raise it off the surrounding surface, take that into account
    because that may also add to instability should the items be dissimilar.
    I'd considered, if available super cheap (at second hand store, etc) that one of
    those 'aluminum food thawing trays' but square and not rectangular, may work.
    It would raise the unit up, while Mini would still rest on the round base, though.
    Since heat rises; the exit is in the back of the Mini, intake is around the base.
    The bottom does not get all that hot, due to internal air-flow & metal conductivity.
    I prefer my method of raising the entire unit up, flat, above the desk. In part this
    was due to concerns of spillage of liquid near the Mini, while on a desktop. An
    upside down small metal pan, or a baking rack may do, too. And I'd want to be
    able to filter dust from all air going into the Mini - without restricting the flow, too.
    Anyway, other than one of the command-line tests to run up all the cores at once
    to test it, there isn't much I've done to make a quad-core reach top temperatures.
    Hopefully yours works OK and doesn't get near the thermal maximum...

  • Are there any good strategy games only for macs?

    If so what are their names and would you recommend them?
    If not what strategy games would you recommend for an SR mac book with 4 GB of ram? And 2.2 GHz

    Games in Mac, well, suck. It's disappointing, especially when developers do a 3rd-rate job of brining existing PC games over to X.
    I have the same MacBook as you, napoleon. Here's the kicker - Your Intel X3100 video drivers are BETTER in Windows than it is in Leopard. Even the dock in Leopard is choppy. Makes me regret my MacBook purchase at times (though so many other positives!).
    It saddening that you can't avoid Windows, especially when you only want to play a few games.
    My suggestions for RTS games for Windows:
    Company Of Heroes: Opposing Fronts
    Age of Empires
    (as said) C&C3, it's a fantastic game, and an amazing series. You can't go wrong with Command and Conquer.

  • Setting up numeric pad for mac probook

    I just bought a numeric pad (Targus) and plugged it in, but it is not working when I plug it in. The green light is on, but the numbers do not show up when I push it. Other features show up like the + or - button. Do I have to suppress something on my mac in order to use the numeric pad?

    Try powering it down, & if they/you didn't setup Firmware Protection Password, or FileVault, then try this...

  • Bridge card game websites for Macs

    I loved playing Bridge on the Pogo website. But since updating the Java  , it is no longer supported. I hope Apple will create a "Bridge" App for the iMac. Any other suggestions. Can Java improve the update to support Pogo games?

    You'd need to contact the Java Developer Oracle for this (Java is not an Apple software and has had its vulnerabilities exposed several times).

    Hi,
    Recommend me a controller for gaming, compatible with both Mac and Windows. I'm thinking default Xbox 360 controller, but Mac support seems a bit poor.

    Will there be games that run natively in the Mac OSX environment anytime soon?
    I love my video game consoles but some games are only available for the computer.
    If I were to purchase an ipod I'd use it as a portable video player rather than using it to listen to music I'm more of a video fan than a music fan anyway.

  • HT3211 What is best track pad for laptop pro

    What is best track pad for Mac Pro laptop with mountain lion

    Honestly, the one right in front of your keyboard. It's hard to do better than that one, and the Magic Trackpad is just an external duplicate of that. In fact, my dad has one for his iMac, and I seem to recall that there are one or two things I can do with my built-in trackpad that he can't do with his Magic Trackpad... though my faulty memory means I couldn't tell you what those things are at this point.

  • Game controller for MacBook Pro?

    Are ANY game controllers made especially for Mac? I have tried the Logitech wired version and the Logitech Rumblepad 2 wireless version and neither seem to work with my G5. I even added USB Overdrive, which recognizes the Logitech controllers, and have tried to set the prefs in various games, but still cannot get them to work when the games launch. Seems like there ought to be some easy, plug-and-play game controller for Mac. Any advice? I am very computer literate, yet cannot seem to accomplish this very basic task: Hook up a game controller (that SAYS it works on Mac OS X) and get it to work. (I called Logitech tech support and they said the controllers should work on a Mac, but their driver software and their tech support do not support use on a Mac. Huh?)

    I like the Logitech Gamepad F310 for games on my Mac. You're right new games are much better with a game controller!
