Can anyone recommend a portable USB 3.0 drive with hardware encryption, compatible with OSX and Windows 7. I need it for my MacBook Pro 13", 2012, running Mountain Lion

Can anyone recommend a portable USB 3.0 drive with hardware encryption, compatible with OSX Mountain Lion and Windows 7. I need it for my MacBook Pro 13”, 2012, running Mountain Lion & Windows 7 Ultimate - BootCamp. I’ve heard that the Buffalo MiniStation Encryption does not work with OSX, is that true..? I'd like it to work with both operating systems, using the built in hardware encryption. Thanks

Help! I'm in China and need parts for my macbook

I am not sure where to turn. I am in China, and really need a mini DV to VGA adapter for my macbook so I can use the projector in my classroom. There is an apple china website but it is only in Chinese, and I really would love a phone number or some contact info so that I can communicate with an apple rep in English here, order the part, and get it delivered to me. I've tried to call the number displayed on the apple China site, but cannot get through (maybe it's non-existent?) Is there anyone that can offer some info or point me in the right direction? please???
Thanks

Try this number.

Headphones for my MacBook Pro OS X.

I am looking for headphones and I want a good price and good quality. I have checked the Apple store online but only find ipod or iphone headphones. Does anyone have suggestions for headphones?

Do NOT i repeate DO NOT listen to users recommending Bose.
They do not know their audio hardware, and are only drones to the endless Bose advertisements/Over hype.
Bose is overpriced, avoid them they give you very little for the price they charge; and they will break eventually.
Personally, i've learned from experiance that getting headphones, your money is best spent in the 180-250 dollar range.
I can recommened some that i've used, and heard and researched very well
Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro-80 @$180
Over ear design, very good sound quality and isolation.
<200 its VERY hard to beat.
They may not last very long if you take them everywhere with you, these are best used in static locations.
V-MODA Crossfade M-80 @$200
Personally, these are the best phones i've come across for sound quality in the 0-350 dollar range, plus these things will literally last you decades. I've tossed mine off my friends 23rd floor balacony to see if i could break them. They were fine from this INSANE height, keep in mind they hit grass, not concrete.
These are amazing mids-highs bass is realistic and not over the top.
ON EAR design, so they are perfect for portable unit.
V-MODA Crossfade LP2 @$130-199
Over ear version of the above, just not as good sound quality; better bass (fake over the top bass).
DO NOT GET A CHEAP HEADSET, you will replace it sooner then you know, and end up buying a good pair in the end. It ends up costing you more by getting the cheap pair. Stick with earbuds if you need to intill you can save up enough, trust me i've been there and learned the hard way. AVOID all beats, and similar branded crap that runs on batteries, they have TERRIBLE sound quality, also most phones with battery noise isolation have EMI/hissing if you have the ears to hear it (AKA they are toys for children, they sell them on looks not what they do/sound like).
Also note, V-moda has the best headphone warranty i've come across. 2 years full replacement for any issue, after this if you lose/lost/burnt/smash you Vmoda's they will give you a 50% discount on any pair in the future for life. So what that means is if they break, or you toss them in the garbage, you can get them for the same price as the sony headphones for around 99 bucks. You dont pay extra for this warranty coverage.
So V-moda is my personal recommendation, follwed by the German Beyerdynamic brand.

Re: Need headphones for AT300

Hi,
Does anybody can recommend me headphones for AT300. Toshiba excluded. I have try some but doesn't work.
Thanks

Hi dude
The AT300 tablet supports the 3.5mm jack port to connect the headphones.
This is common jack and all headphones supporting the 3.5mm jack are compatible.

Looking for a bluetooth headphone for my Macbook Air and Ipad Mini, I am not looking for a headphone that needs a transmitter to be connected to the source rather a headphone that can be connected directly via bluetooth to the source device

I am desperately looking for a bluetooth headphone that would be compatible to my Macbook air and Ipad mini both. I am more of looking for a headphone that does not need a transmitter device to be connected to the source (in this case Macbook Air and Ipad Mini) and headphone acting as a receiver, rather need a headphone that would be connected directly via bluetooth to the source, it would be great if multiple apple devices be connected simultaneously. Please suggest some good headphones.

Hey sorry for the late reply, I was busy to figure out alternatives as harman kardon was a difficult affair to find and acquire, but the good news is I managed to get hold of alternative.
Sony I assume recently launched a Bluetooth headphone DR-BTN200 which is compatible to my MacBook Air , iPad mini and android phone galaxy s2 with ease, the sound quality is pretty good as compared to other brands of Bluetooth headphones I checked compatible or incompatible to apple devices alike, this is definitely what I was looking for, costed me 7990 INR, this is highly recommended for ppl who are confused, I carried my devices to the store and checked before I bought a pair and pretty much happy,
The best part of this is its battery backup, I have used this hours for 3-5 days but this has not drain even then, but I do keep this charging once in 2-3 days just to keep this ready otherwise it does not even ask for it neither the quality of sound drops after 2-3 days of use.
This is over the ear headphone which is very soft but it's get sweaty around the ear I guess that's bound to happen.
Do get back to me for any other details, would be glad to share with all :)

What is the best bluetooth headphone for a macbook? I really don't know much about either.

I am looking for a bluetooth portable wireless headphone set to use with my new macbook pro non retna. I want someing i can listen to movies, youtube, games(eve online) and other media.
I do not know much about wireless headphones and i know nothing about the Macbook, my first ever apple product.I perfer to get something low profile like the LG HBS-700. I do not neccesarily require a in ear style headset. I also perfer sound isulating over noise canceling.
I am willing to invest in a quality product. I do not know what is compatable with mac though so please help.
I am ordering the macbook this weekend and would like to be enjoying my music and movies right away.
thank you for your help.

I have a Motorola Bluetooth headset with microphone that I got from Amazon - here. Nothing fancy - definitely not audiophile quality - but small and portable and they hold a charge really well.
Take a look at them and see if they will fit your needs. Price is right.

Need speakers for my Macbook: questions I've not seen an answer for

Earlier this year I reluctantly upgraded from my old Luxo Jr. style iMac with the nice 17" screen and the really good sound to a 2008 black Macbook. While I needed the OS update, the smaller screen and miserable sound are a giant step backwards, and need a cure. I think I've found a monitor I can love (Samsung 2223SW) but the speaker issue has me boggled. I've now read so much I'm thoroughly confused.
Does my old iMac sound so good solely due to the speakers, or is there something in the iMac itself contributing to the sound?
Am I stuck with miserable tinny sound due to some limitation of the Macbook, or is there hope?
The goal: good sound and no wires on my desktop (I'm fed up with looking like an electronics store run amok, and so far have banished the modem and external drive to the basement courtesy of an Airport Extreme)
In an ideal world I'd find a pair of wireless speakers (either wifi or bluetooth) that sound as good as my old iMac speakers. I've searched with no luck... are there any?
The next best thing seems to be using an Airport Express (I realize I cannot use my existing Extreme for speakers) but I'm not sure I'm clear on how that would work. I'd have to have it plugged in the room I want to use the speakers in, and then plug the speakers into the Express? I'm still stuck with wires but at least they're not snaking across the desktop that way.
The Macbook would send the sound to the Express and in turn through the speakers? Is that how it works?
And I have to use Airfoil if I want to have all my sound - not just iTunes - channeled that way?
Does it matter if my iTunes library is on an external hard drive and not on the internal Macbook drive?
Anything else I need to know? I don't have a traditional stereo for the Express to stream to (which I see mentioned a lot), is that a problem? I just need speakers. I also don't need to stream to multiple rooms or Macs... just cure the sound on the Macbook.
Could the old iMac speakers be plugged into the Express?
Or do I need to get new ones such as the Creative Inspire T12 that are in the Apple Store? I've noticed those and some others say they come with a power supply... does that mean they need electricity (bleah... more wires!) ? I guess that would beat batteries, but I'm used to speakers that plug into whatever they're hooked to and nothing else , so the reference to "power supply" may be confusing me. Do you really have to plug in speakers to an outlet?
A lot of questions, I know! I've read the "Good To Know About Speakers" page in the Apple Store, searched threads here and Googled, and only seemed to wind up with more questions. :P

Thanks Doc.... that does clear a few things up. I can't find wi-fi speakers to check prices though. My search returns seem to be mostly links to pages where people are asking where to find them (lol!), those crazy-price Phillipe Somebodyorother designer speakers, or some called Oyster from Avega that seem to be vaporware
I did find wireless speakers on Amazon, but they're not what I think of as wi-fi (using the Macbook's already-installed Airport) since you have to plug a transmitter into the computer (which makes it Yet Another Device To Be Unplugged when moving a laptop around).
It's beginning to sound like the Express + speakers is the best route, since that at least gets the wires off the desktop and not directly attached to the Macbook. I'm not sure what the plug on the iMac speakers is called. It would be nice if they worked since they don't require being plugged into the wall.

Hi, I previously used a PC with the purchased Adobe Creative Suite 6, but it is a disk drive, and I need it for my Macbook Pro. Is there anything I can do?

Hi, I purchased the Adobe Creative Suite 6 on my student pricing for $399. I only had a PC at the time so i've purchased a disk drive PC version. As a student in the Graphic Design industry I've been urged to become a Mac user, thus I now own a Macbook, but cannot use my Adobe programs. Is there someway I can change the license for the PC suite to Mac? It's quite expensive, and a waste of $400 to keep in on a PC I don't use.

Recommendations for headphones for MacBook Pro.

I'm looking for a good pair of headphones for my MacBook Pro. I'm not sure I'm an audiophile, but I do appreciate excellent equipment and sound so high fidelity is important. With that, so is comfort. I'm not a big fan of earphones that fit inside one's ears, though my brother-in-law's Etymotic Research ER6i sounded great. I'm leaning toward the Grado SR 80. They're certainly not very portable in terms of tossing them in my computer bag as compared to the ERs, but it'd imagine they're going be more comfortable. Someone told me that the Grados need a good sound card for them to shine. He wasn't familiar with Macs, but assumed the MacBook Pro's audio output would be fine. I have no dealer in my area, so auditioning them is out. I'd appreciate hearing of anyone's experience with these and a MacBook Pro or other suggestions. Thanks.

I have the same computer. I use the Bose "noise-cancelling" Quiet Comfort 2 headset. They are somewhat expensive ($350), but they work well on commercial airlines (lowers jet engine noise), especially if you travel a lot. I also use these headphones at work to block out background noise.
I have had mine for well over a year with no complaints. I suggest going to an Apple or Bose store to check them out.

Wireless Printing for my Macbook???

I recently bought a HP Photosmart C4580 Wireless Printer. It's hooked up to my I- MAC and working fine. Does anyone know how I can enable my macbook to send documents so I can print to it? Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!!
Thanks!!!

Hey!
I am "that guy" that got my hp deskjet 5850 working at home.
Question for you... Do you have the printer connected directly (USB) to your iMac or do you have it connected to a home network?
Choosing the type of Network Printing, wired or wireless
If you want to print wirelessly from any machine within range, you should connect the printer to a switch/router. This could either be by physical network cable, or wireless to the switch/router.
If you choose the network cable connection, installation goes a bit quicker.
If you want to set up everything wireless, you still need to use a USB or network cable to setup the printer, then you can unplug the network cable and it should connect to the network using DHCP like your MacBook.
Wireless Network Printing (Access Point, Router)
This hp photosmart has some instructions on how to get started:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01659524&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us &product=3418707&lang=en
Step 1. Print a test page to get the Network Settings for the printer
(see the above link for step 1) - kinda simple
Step 2. Get the info for you wireless network.
*First: SSID* you need to know what the Wireless Network is called (SSID)
*Second: Login for Router*, its good to know how to log into your router by typing in its IP address in a browser, typically the IP address is 192.168.1.1 or 10.0.0.1 or something along those lines.
*Third: Security* Is your network encrypted WEP/WPA with a passcode/password? Are you filtering by Machine Access Code (MAC) address for each wireless machine?
No security at all? Its up to you
Step 3. Install the hp driver for Mac OS X, on you iMac... later you need it for your MacBook too.
Download this driver:
HP Photosmart Full Feature Software and Drivers - Mac OS X v10.4 and v10.5
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software10/COL23697/mp-61314-1/HPInstaller_PSC4500v9.8.dmg
(again, take a look at the Installation link at the top for how to install the driver)
If you noticed with the install, when you try to CONNECT TO THE PRINTER, THROUGH THE NETWORK you will get an error first... then you have to use the USB cable with your iMac, and then finish the setup.
Now the printer is setup to work wirelessly, it should find the Router each time you turn it on, and connect after 1-2 minutes. (it needs to obtain an IP address first using DHCP, which should be the default)
You can try it with the iMac first to see if it works, then install the driver on your MacBook and connect to the Printer Through the Network... and this time it should find it without connecting a USB cable or anything else.
IF THIS DOESNT WORK, SELL IT ON EBAY AND BUY SOMETHING ELSE

Hold down the Option key while you boot your Mac. Then, it should show you a selection of devices. Click your flash drive and it will boot from that.

I need to upgrade my MacBook 13" white 2008 hard drive. I have found a WD6400BPVT western digital Scorpio blue 640GB (5400rpm) SATA 8MB 2.5" will this fit and work? Many thanks for any help

I had a 640GB HDD in my Early 2008 Macbook and it was just too much it would always freeze up the computer a bit for only a few seconds but ya. Then I realized that it was the size of the HDD that was causing it since the Early 2008 Macbook models can only handle a MAX od 500GB while the Early 2008 Macbook Pros could have a MAX of 640GB (Lucked out there!) lol But ya the Early 2008 Mocbooks can only handle a MAX HDD size of 500GB and that's it!! lol

I need headphones for my Macbook.
