  • Has anyone tried to download Rosetta Stone to their iPad?  Can it be done?

    I'm going to be on an overseas flight and thought I'd learn Spanish during the 13 hours. 

    Seems like all Rosetta Stone app require Internet access. Some flights have Internet. Check with your airline to see if Internet is available and ask how much it costs.
    Delta for instance uses GoGO Internet which cost $14.00 for a 24 hour period.

  • Has anyone tried the new retina display MBP with a projector?

    I bought a new MacbookPro with retina display online the other day (hasn't arrived yet).  I use this primarily for business doing presentations etc.  Has anyone tried connecting a projector using the Thunderbolt VGA adapter?  Just curious if it'll work.
    Thanks

    Similar problem. I used my macbook Pro Retina with my Thunderbolt to VGA adapter all through the fall, and never had any trouble with it. Just before Christmas I got a Thunderbolt display.
    Since that time, whenever I connect the projector, I get a black screen. I can see and move the mouse, but nothing else. Other computers still work with the projector.
    I'm not certain if the Thunderbolt Display has anything to do with this or not, but it's just the timing that it happened.
    Grateful for anyone that can offer help!

  • Has anyone tried a 3rd party laptop cooling pad?

    I have had my macbookpro 2.16 for about 2 1/2 weeks now, temp averages at about 40c during what i normally do, but the base of it is still too hot to comfortablly use on my lap. I have been using a large book as a buffer for the heat, recently I saw some 3rd party cooling pads with fans in them, running of USB power, has anyone tried one?

    I use Vantec Lapcool 4. It folds and quite small for transporting (fits nicely into my bag). It uses 2 fans powered either by USB or by AC. Also adds 4 USB ports.
    It makes about 10C defference. Since it keeps the case cooler and MBP doesn't build up heat like it used to, so works quite well.
    The only con I've found is that the MBP slips a bit on the pad so I bought a package of small, clear, self-adhiesive, non-slip rubber cushions to put on the bottom of the lappad (~$2@Home Depot). Now MBP sits securely without any slippage.

  • Has anyone tried home sharing between mac and windows using parallels on the same machine?

    I recently purchased a mac, and plan to set up parallels for windows and windows 7 so that I can use the Windows version of Over Drive Media Console from the library and download WMA files in windows (limitation with mac version for wma downloads). I would like to synch to iTunes on the Mac iOS, but will need iTunes available in Windows to transfer the books I download in WMA format from the library to my iphone. Has anyone tried this? Any success or suggestions would be appreciated!

    In case anyone is interested, last night I installed Paralells, Windows, Overdrive Media Console on Windows, and then was able to download my book in WMA format. I was hoping parallels would allow me to crossover sync to iTunes on the Mac and have Overdrive recognize that I had iTunes open, but I had to choose Windows or Mac when connecting my phone through the USB and had to choose Windows in order for it to successfully transfer. I was able to get it to work it is now synced to iTunes in Windows. The nice thing was that it pulled in all my music/apps that I had set up in the Mac side, so I didn't have to go through that exercise again. I tested it on my old phone. Now I need to decide if I want to set up my current phone on Windows or Mac, it seems that once synched it only opens the device in windows, I haven't figured out how to force the choice between mac or window again. If I do windows, I can't take advantage of the cloud or iphoto/imovie directly. I'm totally new to mac, but I think I'll have to import my photos manually.

  • Has anyone tried to use Labview with VNC

    I am trying to use VNC viewer and Labview to remotely code/control labview application. Lots of right clicks dont show up on the VNC. I guess this happens only for Labview and not for other applications. Has anyone tried to use VNC before? is there a workaround?

    Just confirmed that each of the above items works properly in our setup, using either WinME or Linux as the controller of the Win98 host. In the 'Connection Options' screen of the controlling computer I have only 'Auto-Select' and 'Emulate 3 buttons' checked. 'Current User Properties' on the controlled computer has only 'Accept Socket Connections', 'Do Nothing', 'Remove Desktop Wallpaper', 'Poll Foreground Window' and 'Poll Console Windows Only' checked. Hopefully one of the above will make a difference.

  • Has Anyone tried running Windows Apps on Tiger/Leopard using Crossover?

    Hi,
    I had heard that you can run some Windows applications using a program called Crossover.
    Has anyone tried Crossover?
    I need to run Qimage on my MacPro

    It does work, but it can only run programs that have been converted for use with CrossOver. You need to check their site information on whether the program you want to use is available in converted form.
    CrossOver hasn't been verified for 10.5.2, although it is certified for 10.5.
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak 2 or Vista. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    5. Last is Q. Q is a freeware emulator that is compatible with Intel Macs. It is much slower than the virtualization software, Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system.
    See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion.
    Boot Camp is only available with Leopard. The Boot Camp Beta that was used with Tiger has expired and is no longer available for use. So contrary to the other poster's comment, Boot Camp isn't truly "free." You must purchase Leopard to get it.

  • Has anyone tried to use the Online Edition of Quickbooks and Tiger?

    I work from home as an editor. My employer has just set up payroll using the Online Edition of Quickbooks. When I tried to to login I got this message from Quickbooks:
    "For business and tech reasons we designed Online Edition specifically to run on Windows. We do not offer an alternative version at this time. Customers have reported using a PC emulator, such as Microsoft's Virtual PC, to run Online Edition on their Macs. This may decrease application performance in terms of speed. We encourage you to research this approach to see whether it will work for you."
    Has anyone tried this?
    Also, they set up Online Edition to run with Internet Explorer. I use Safari.

    i donot know the server he used in his example. All you need is to
    replace the server deployment descriptors he used to weblogic descriptors. then rebuild. go to admin tool--localhost:7001/console
    and login with weblogic as username and password
    then on ejb you can then deploy the ejb.read on the console.

  • Has Anyone tried to use DDE through Applets

    I would like to update a client side opened Excel file via the web using DDE ( Windows protocol used to cut and paste between apps ) and an applet.
    I guess that the level of security of the sand-box will limit the interaction with the excel application unless the applet jar is signed and certified.
    Has anyone tried to develop such application ?
    I didnt go through all the DDE technology yet and I am just wondering if there are some great difficulties to overcome.
    Any "difficult to find" hints are welcome
    Thanks

    Thanks for the hint. A good one as I did not know this link.

  • Has anyone tried to use an external gpu in a thunderbolt case?

    Hi everybody.
    I have a macbook pro 2.2 GHz i7, 16gb of RAM
    Has anyone tried to use an external gpu in a thunderbolt case to speed up editing or rendering in Premiere Pro?
    I would like to try the Vidock cases with a compatible GPU. Anyone tried it out?
    thanks

    Hi Eric
    thanks for your answer.
    As far as I know, the INTERNAL CPU to GPU data transfer speed is way faster than the speed you can obtain via thunderbolt, so it doesn't matter what GPU you put in an external thunderbolt case, you won't benefit on any speed increase.
    But still when I goggle this subject I find people saying that they edit and render much faster with an external thunderbolt case and GPU.
    So I thought about trying to find the "truth" here on this forum.
    Anyone else wants to share his/her experience?
    Thanks

  • AVCHD - Has anyone tried using Parallels

    Hello,
    I have the HDR-SR1 and am just as frustrated as everyone else on this board.
    Has anyone tried using Parallels to capture the AVCHD footage in the Windows environment then bringing it into FPC on your Mac?
    I tried but couldn't get it to locate the drive. My last solution is the Blackmagic vid card, just wanted to see if this works before I buy one.
    cheers

  • Apple should really come up with a dual sim card. Has anyone tried to use the dusl simcard adaptor?

    I see many ads for the dual sim adaptor, also it is being sold on some flights. Has anyone tried one? Instead of putting better cameras on their iPhones, Apple should really concentrate on making a phone with dual sim cards ( without asking exhorbitant prices) which will make travelling so much easier.
