  • What Web Cam is compatible with the Mac mini

    Hi everyone,
                  Thinking of buying a Mac mini to use with my Sony TV but I want to connect a web cam also. Does anyone know what web cam works with a Mac mini? Keen to get one but if I cannot find a compatible web cam I don't think I will. I have no wish to buy the apple monitor just for the use of a web cam.

  • Is this RAM compatible with my Mac mini?

    I'm looking into getting this RAM:
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820231069
    and I was wondering if it would work with my Mac mini. It is teh basic Intel mini w/ teh 1.5GHz processor. I plan on getting 2 of these to fill up teh availible memory capacity.

    Yes, the new Intel Mac Mini's use the same memory as the MacBook's. I installed the same SODIMM's I had in my MacBook into my new Mini and it worked just fine.
    Looks like a fairly good price too.

  • HT3770 I have recently bought a external hard drive and I was told to down load a Fat 32 in order to work with my MAC/ Is this right and how do I find the download and how to install to make my new external drive compatible with my MAC?

    What is a Fat 32 which I am suppose to download inorder to work on a MAC for external drive to be compatable ?

    Bad advice. You do not need or want FAT.
    You want GUID and Mac HFS Standard Journaling.
    You don't download when you write files, or when you format or erase a drive.

  • Is 3T drive compatible with 2008 mac pro?

    The documentation that came with the system states that up to 4 2T drives can be installed.  I don't think anyone was putting out 3T drives for end-use consumers at that time.  Can one of the newer, larger 3T drives be used in this system?

    Yes, you can, however you have to format them with GUID partition Table or GPT.

  • Is Adobe Acrobat 11 Standard compatible with a Mac Mini?

    Can I use Adobe Acrobat 11 Standard on my Mac Mini?

    If it runs the normal desktop version of OSX in one of the qualifying versions then it should work just fine. Only the server versions of OSX may pose problems, though generally Acrobat has been behaving gracefully even on those.

  • Sony HD Camcorder with hard drive-compatibility with a mac

    I am considering purchasing a new Sony HD camcorder with an internal hard drive but it appears the hd format is not compatible with a mac. Does this sound correct and if so do we know how long til they can work together. Sony stated that mac would not be able to read the hd formatting? Sony model HDR-SR1

    Thanks for adding consumer comments.
    No sound in QuickTime (with the Playback Component installed) is probably created by Sony (not Apple). I'll bet they use their own "scheme" (proprietary codecs).
    Your "conversions" from MPEG-2 format to DV Stream do look good. But they would look even better if the source format was DV Stream to begin with.
    Because your camera records in MPEG-2 format it must first "compress" your video. DV Stream is 13 GB's an hour. MPEG-2 compresses this down so you're losing data from your "true" source.
    If someone from Sony was passing these cameras out on a street corner I would walk on by.
    I would consider a HD recorder if it kept the file as DV Stream and included a Firewire connection. Sony does this with their "tape" machine but they call Firewire "iLink".

  • External hard drive compatible with macbook pro 10.5.8

    external hard drive compatible with macbook pro 10.5.8, i need a hard drive that will work with 10.5.8 to back everything up before upgrading to 10.6. a hard drive that is compatable with 10.5.8 has been impossible to find, a hard drive that works with both opperating systems is what i am looking for, any information that can help is appreciated

    You can buy just about any USB2.0 hard drive and use it with your MacBook Pro.  Many older external drives come pre-partitioned and formatted FAT32 for use on Windows.  Your Mac can use that file system as well, but it has limitations on file sizes.  You can always re-partition your external drive and re-format it as HFS+ (MacOS Extended Journaled) then your old Mac OS version and your new one should both be able to access it just fine.  One thing to keep in mind is that many older OSes don't really handle drives larger than 2TB well, so you would probably want to try to keep your external drive to something smaller than 2TB...

    Is a USB3 SSD + Thunder bolt Lacie 256 gig drive compatible with a Macbook 2008 with USB2 ports ?

  • External hard drive compatible with mac

    I recently purchased a Lacie external hd (the porsche design P´9220). Had some initial trouble with getting it up and running, had to switch primary partition hd to actually get the 1 TB storage amount. I did this on a pc in computer management, because I couldn´t figure out how to do this on my mac. Anyway, when I swiched the primary partition hard drive to the right one, I only had two options for formating, either NTFS or exFAT. I thought exFAT would work on mac, but turns out it doesn´t.. Is there any way I can format this hd to fat/ fat32 either on mac or pc?? The whole point of buying this hd was that I thought it would be compatible with BOTH mac and pc at the same time..
    Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

    Nah:
    Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to two and size them to your preferences. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you created for Windows use, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the Format Type to MSDOS then click on the Erase button.
