GPS System for MAC's

I do a great deal of driving and am in the market for a GPS navigation system. I have a center console mount for my mac and would like to find the appropriate software to run a GPS system on the computer. I can find the software with the external usb hook up for windows. Does anyone know of a package that works with mac's or if the systems available for windows will work if I buy "parallels".

Knownothing -
I just wanted to say that although you (I'm sure) are looking for a "cost effective" way to get GPS into your car by integrating it with your computer, it is not the way to go.
If you're doing a great deal of driving I would suggest a real GPS unit, and a real good one.
PC or Mac based GPSs are slow, often inaccurate due to only finding a few satellites and usually don't give you turn by turn directions.
I would suggest a Garmin unit in the StreetPilot Series or the Nuvi series. They are phenomenal units and cheapest at a very reliable seller: shipdog.com
I have purchased 3 GPS units through them. With GPS you get what you pay for, and if you're only going to shell out say $100-$150 for a GPS device and software, you're going to get what you pay for.
Good luck with your choice
I just wanted to add that I'm not just saying this because I love garmin devices; I'm saying this because I have tried all that junk before:
GPS-->Laptop
GPS-->Pocket PC
And the only thing that really works well is a REAL GPS unit.

GPS (AUTOMOTIVE) FOR MAC

I want to buy a GPS system for my car. All the systems are PC compatible which does not include the Mac. There must be a Mac user out there who has an automotive GPS system. How do you get around the compatibility issue? Boot Camp looks a bit hairy.

Yep, so far Mac support for Garmin automotive GPS units is vaporware. I just enlisted the help of a PC using friend for the one-time loading of maps into the unit. I have this delusion that by the time there is a software or map upgrade available that Garmin will come through with the promised Mac support.

Home Security System For Mac?

I'm on the market for a home security system I can run through my home computers. I was all set to purchase a nice Logitech system with an outdoor camera and everything else, and noticed it doesn't work with Mac.
I've done a lot of research, but I'm not finding a recommended system for Mac users.
Can anyone make a recommendation or point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

You might check CNet Downloads or MacUpdate and search for the software. Then you will know what systems should work with Macs such as Thinking Home that works with X-10 devices.

GPS system for Nokia 9300

I am looking for a full GPS system for my Nokia 9300, which will give me voice navigation down to specific postcodes within the UK and downloadable up-to-date maps/navigation database. I had my eye on Route 66 Mobile but it's specification states it's only available for the S60 series; even the latest Route 66 Mobile version 7.
I'm now really confused as to what I should look for. I need a complete system i.e. GPS receiver and software, because at the moment I only have the phone. As a very last resort, I do have an old Nokia 6630 I could use as a dedicated navigation system, but really I want to use my Nokia 9300 for everything. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.Message Edited by garyg on 29-Jun-2006

It doesnt support the operating system for mac? adobe premiere?

it doesnt support the operating system for mac? adobe premiere?

Hi,
which version of Premiere Pro are you trying to install? Also check your system compatibility for Premiere Pro CC as suggested by John. If you are trying to install CS6 or any of the previous versions then you can check the compatibilty from this link. http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-premiere-pro.html MAC OS 10.6.8 should work with Premiere Pro CS6, if your system meets the rest of the criteria. For Premiere Pro CC, 10.6.8 may not work. Check your OS if its a 32 bit or a 64 bit http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3696

Is there a timekeeping system for Mac?

My uncle has a small cleaning business and he uses a telephone timekeeping system so he can easily keep track of employees clocking and out. He would like to be able to replace the one he's got as it's been having issues recently and it's 15 years old. He would like a Mac-based one as his current timekeeping system is running on a Windows based IBM clone. His current timekeeping system's hardware consists of a PCI card which has phone line ports on it. He would like to be able to have two phone lines for it to prevent busy signals when a lot of employees are clocking in and out.
Is there a Mac-compatible timekeping system which meets those criteria, (preferably one which is not PCI or PCIE)?

iOS is for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. The operating system for Macs is OS X, and a new version, OS X 10.9 Mavericks, was just released yesterday. It's free in the Mac App Store for anyone running a compatible Mac. See:

GPS Unit For Macs

I have googled "GPS for Mac Laptop" and found some thing that look like they might work but I really am not sure I take their word. Has anyone ever bought a GPS Unit for their laptop that works for a Mac? And I really don't want to use Bootcamp. So if anyone can help me that would be great!

People are seeing this, but keep in mind that the posters here are regular Mac users like yourself. Apple itself doesn't post here. It is quite possible that no one has done what you're asking, and that's why there haven't been any replies. I can tell you, however, that I recently purchased a TomTom One (version 3), and it updates just fine on my MacBook. I don't think that's what you were asking, however.

Verizon telephone system for Mac OS X version 10.4.3

Hello,
I have an iMac, OS X, version 10.4.3
I'm thinking about getting a Verizon, high-speed telephone system (whatever that means). The system would consist of two separate telephone lines. One line for the iMac computer and residential telephone; the other line for a fax machine and business telephone.
I already have one (dial-up) line for the computer and telephone with unlimited, long-distance calling.
Can you explain to me (like I'm a six-year old) the details about all of this, and if its the best way to go?
Thanks,
Wayne
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I'm thinking about getting a Verizon, high-speed
telephone system (whatever that means).
I believe you are talking about Verizon DSL. (unless you are in the very limited fiber market area, and are willing to pay a goodly amount per month)
DSL allows you to use a single telephone line for simultanious phone and internet access.
If you choose self install, they will mail you a modem, a bunch of filter boxes, an install CD, and a large setup sheet.
The modem connects to a phone jack near your computer, then you run an ethernet cable from the modem to your computer.
The filters go on each phone jack w/o a computer attached.
The installer CD sets up your ethernet control pane, and (used to) install a customized version of Netscape.
I already have one (dial-up) line for the computer
and telephone with unlimited, long-distance calling.
Then add DSL service to this line (I'll call it your home line). For any phone connected to this line, you'll have to connect a filter. (Verizon will provide several in the box with the DSL modem - you'll have to pay for them over a certain number)
DSL works by using high frequency "sound" (voice works at a lower freq. 1k band) The filters block the high freq used by DSL, so you don't get static/whistle/whine on your voice calls)
You cannot put a filter on the jack to whihc you connect the DSL modem - if you do, DSL will not work
the other line for a fax machine and business
telephone.
DSL would not be active on the second (business) line/phone number, and because its a separate set of wires, I don't think you'd need the filters, either.

Oject Oriented Database management system for mac (OODMS)

Is anyone interested to develop an OODMS for the Mac ?
There exits allready a good project that is in production (terabytes !) but it lacks a gui
This system is called EYEDB and is open source and written in c++
http://www.eyedb.org/
This system would in conjunction with QT4 offer a good user interface gui a la ms access.
http://qt.nokia.com/products (The open source version) also written in c++
Apple users need definitively such a modern database system !
Gerard

Having worked quite a lot with pure object databases for Java, I can see where you are coming from. I generally try and avoid having to deal with an RDBMS (and its associated lack of speed and unnatural programming model) whenever I can.
Thanks for pointing out eyedb. I was not aware about it. A brief look identified one aspect which I do not like - having to define a schema outside of the object model. Most Java ODBMS systems do not require any separate schema to be associated. That is automatically performed by the DBMS when you try and persist objects.

How to set-up a wireless system for Mac and Windows?

In a few weeks I will visit my brother in Tennessee, USA who has a cable modem (very good speed - "Comcast") connected to one desktop PC (Windows XP I believe).
I want to spend 2-3 weeks at his home using my MacBook core duo (May 2006 version) via wireless-- and what is the BEST way to install a wireless internet access for my brother that I can use for the 3 week visit? NOTE: After I leave, this has to work for him wireless with his PC's - not Macintoshes. But I want to have the flexibility to be in several rooms of his long (but single story) home during my stay.
Can I use an AirPort Extreme Base Station "n" and if so, will my MacBook work with this at maximum download / upload speed (i.e. equivalent to the cable) - and will my brother's PC's also be able to connect? Or is there another Airport base station?
OR-- should I head down to "Generic Computer Store" and just by a wireless router (WiFi)(think that's what they call them) and connect this to his cable modem? IF SO WILL THAT WORK FOR MY MAC?
Thanks for any comments or references here -
Regards,
Steve

Can I use an AirPort Extreme Base Station "n"
Yes.
and if so, will my MacBook work with this at maximum download / upload speed (i.e. equivalent to the cable)
The speed of your internal network generally is much much faster than the speed of your internet connection. Unless he has an internet connection faster than approx 6Mbps then even dropping down to the old 802.11b Airport would not seen any decrease in speed of downloads etc...
and will my brother's PC's also be able to connect?
If his PC is 802.11b/g-compliant, it shouldn't have any problems connecting to the AirPort base station.
Or is there another Airport base station?
The other AirPorts would work, but the AirPort Express & older 802.11g AirPort Extreme base stations have a max. range of 150 feet.
OR-- should I head down to "Generic Computer Store" and just by a wireless router (WiFi)(think that's what they call them) and connect this to his cable modem? IF SO WILL THAT WORK FOR MY MAC?
That is always an option as well, especially since he will be the primary user throughout the year. I'd suggest going with a brand name, like Belkin, D-Link, or Linksys for the wireless router choice.

File for GPS system

Hello,
Is there a way I can create a file of all our offices
locations, which can then be downloaded on an individuals GPS
system for all our agents ?
Please help with any suggestions.
Thanks.

Not realy enough information to go on since you didn't state
what type of GPS system. It all depends on if the GPS system can be
configured either through an import mechanism, configuration files,
and so on.
You're going to have to dig a little for information on the
GPS system. Start with the Manufacturer and ask them directly,
google the product and see what others have done, etc. Assuming
it's not a closed system, you may even be able to open up some of
the configuration files to see how waypoints/push pins/markers are
stored.

PhotoShop Elements 6 for Mac under Snow Leopard?

Hi. Apple's new operating system for Mac, Snow Leopard is being released tomorrow.
According to the Snow Leopard wiki, Photoshop Elements 6 does not work under Snow Leopard:
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
I contacted Adobe to ask if they had any plans to update Photoshop Elements 6 to work with Snow Leopard. The response I got from their support was that Adobe Photoshop Elements was programmed before Snow Leopard and so they weren't responsible if it didn't work.
I am pissed because of course Photoshop Elements was programmed before Snow Leopard. EVERY software program was. Most of my software (and I have a lot of apps) are being updated for Snow Leopard by their developers.
I'm writing this post just to make sure that Photoshop Elements doesn't work under Snow Leopard. It's possible whoever posted that Photoshop Elements didn't work under Snow Leopard could have been having an isolated problem.
So, if anyone tries Photoshop Elements with Snow Leopard, please post here whether or not it works.
Thanks a lot.
Mirskyman

No, there are no significant known conflicts with Snow Leopard, so that's not your problem. Have you deleted prefs since the upgrade? Was this an upgrade in place rather than an erase install? If so, go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
com.adobe.Photoshop.Elements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 Paths Folder
Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 Settings Folder
Opera preferences
repair permissions and see if it's any better. Do you have any third party content installed in PSE? There may well be conflicts with that, if so.

Best operating system for music applications( or most popular)

hi, gonna be buying a mac laptop.
im not feeling leopard for coupla reasons.
im new to all this by the way. so dont know about the diff versions of operating systems for mac........i just know tiger 10.4 was one prior.
for music software, which op system and version is most compatible with the various music apps and vst companies etc out there. like i dont mind not using the latest versions of popular programmes like pro tools and logic and ableton.
leopared is very specific and not backwards compatiblewith alot of software it seems.
cheers
like whats the most popular system in use by music production culture, not necessarily professionals, just hobbyists.
like if you have service pack 2 XP, i know youre good to go. simple as that.
whats the mac equivalent?

Leopard doesn't work well with G5!!
If you have tiger, stay with it, its solid. There is no reason to use leo at the moment!
There is nothing you cannot do with tiger concerning audio.
When its time to upgrade, you can do, but who knows.....
Cheers Eddie
What FUD. Seriously. Plenty of people on this board are running leopard with no problem. My leopard is solid, and it runs logic and reason.
Leopard worked fine on my G5.
As for the comment about leopard not being able to run tiger....well, that's kinda mind blowing.
