Is an apple mouse better than an ordinary mouse

Is it better to buy an apple mouse or to buy a normal pc mouse

It's a matter of preference. I like the Magic Mouse for the additional gestures that Lion gives it.

why is apple tv better than netflix?

Hi s13579,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The following information will explain what the Apple TV is. Netflix is one of the services available on the Apple TV.
Apple - Apple TV - HD iTunes content and more on your TV.

Are Apple routers better than others?

I have wi-fi at my home and I have problems with AirPlay as it sometimes skips.
I'm thinking of buying Time Capsule and I want to know if it's powerfull enough to work in a normal size house and will it solve AirPlay problem?
Is wi-fi on Time Capsule better than on Motorola VIP1003 router?

The broadcast power of all routers is limited by law. Every manufacturer is running their products at 100%, so there will be very little difference between routers of different manufacturers.
If you have having difficulty now, replacing your router with a Time Capsule will likely not solve your problems.
Instead, you will probably need to look for "extending" or "repeating" devices to provide a stronger signal throughout your house....whether you elect to add the Time Capsule or not.

Is apple mail better than outlook

That is the question I'd like answered please? I am a student and will be installing office for mac but I'd like to know which is the better of the 2 email clients i.e.. Outlook or Apples built in client? I am asking this because I have an iPhone, iPad and MBP so I want iCloud to work between them all

The answer to that question is very subjective and difficult to answer but I can share some incite based on my own experience. Ultimately the best way to judge is to try them both and see which one you prefer. A couple of thing to keep in mind.
Apple Mail is a better app if you are connecting to mail servers that use the IMAP protocol like iCloud mail, Google Gmail or Yahoo mail whereas Outlook is better if you are connecting to servers that use Microsoft's ActiveSync like an Exchange server.
Outlook integrates contacts and calendar functionality which also work best with ActiveSync servers. On the Mac Contacts and Calendars are handled by separate apps that use the open CalDAV and CardDAV protocols that are used by iCloud and Gmail.
Outlook stores its mail, contacts and calendar data in one large file whereas Apple Mail stores each email as a separate file. If you use Time Machine for backups backing up the Outlook database takes up a lot more room because the entire database file needs to be backed up whereas as with Apple Mail only the new emails files need to be backed taking up very little room in a Time Machine backup.
Ultimately, if you are going to use iCloud for mail, contacts and calendar your will be better served by Apple's apps. If you are connecting to mail, contact and calendar servers that use Microsoft's ActiveSync then Outlook might serve you better.

How is Apple display better than Samsung?

I am looking at buying a Samsung 23" monitor to hook up to my MacBook pro--I would get an Apple Cinema display but they seem to cost 3 times as much--what are the main differences in quality?

The 23" Samsung most likely uses what is called a TN LCD panel. TN panels are the same kind as used in virtually all notebook computers, including Apple's. TN panels are generally very sensitive to viewing angle. If you own a Mac notebook, or a PC notebook, perhaps you have noticed that tilting the lid/display can have a big affect on the colors you see.
Apple uses a premium LCD panel in their monitors based on a technology called IPS. IPS LCD panels cost more to make, though not three times. Nevertheless, if you really care about color and do color critical work, you should consider an Apple. The Apple will be better in nearly every way, you just need to decide for yourself if it's worth the added expense.

Is apple TV better than Roku for Netflix?

HT1771 why did apple erase ichat? its so much better than messages and now I cant video chat with my ichat buddies

why did apple erase ichat? its so much better than messages and now I cant video chat with my ichat buddies!!!

HI,
Apple did not erase iChat.
Messages in Mountain Lion is iChat +
The plus bit is the fact you can iMessage iOS devices.
All the other features that were in iChat are still there.
If you upgraded Lion to get to Mountain Lion then in System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars you probably list all the iChat Accounts (Screen Names and IDs).
You may need to enable them for Messages.
They should also show up in Messages Menu > Preference > Accounts
Once those accounts (AIM and Jabber) are Enabled they can be viewed in a Combined Buddy List
Windows Menu > Buddies (Or using CMD + 1 Keystrokes)
In the General Section of the Preferences you can Unlink these Buddy lists.
The Green icons or highlight a Buddy and then using the Buddies Menu or the icons at the Bottom of the Buddy list can be used the same way to start Video or Audio Only chats.
The iMessage "Account" is only for texting iOS devices or other people using their Apple ID on a Mac in Messages.
It is an account "in addition to" rather than "taking over from" the services that iChat can join.

Apple TV - any better than an ipod?

Before I went and got an apple tv I decided to hook up my ipod video to the tv and see what the quality was like. So I ran svideo from a dock into my 32" sony lcd. It actually looked rather good for standard def programs (ie all itunes material). The Daily Show looked just fine and even The Office and The Riches playing letterboxed widescreen looked fine even when I zoomed the letterbox full screen with the tv.
I'm sticking with the ipod for now. Wondering if someone with the apple tv would like to try a comparison.

Wondering if someone with the apple tv would like to try a comparison.I find that the same file played from TV looks visibly better than when played directly from the iPod. HDTV scalers vary so results may vary with the quality of your particular HDTV/EDTV model. However, it would seem the TV is specifically enhanced for playback of such files and, in general, does a better than average job of scaling here.

HT4623 This really ***** that they sent out and update to the iPhone ISO6 and I can't send or receive pics! Being that its apple you would think they would know better than to send out a bad update like this! I'm paying for a service and I can even use it

This really ***** that they sent out and update to the iPhone ISO6 and I can't send or receive pics! Being that its apple you would think they would know better than to send out a bad update like this! I'm paying for a service and I can even use now!!! I'm very upset! Think about canceling my iPhone 5 order! This is terrible!

Wahhhhhhhhhh! Wahhhhhhhhhh!
Are you over your little tantrum now? Do you want help you would like to continue to act like a toddler?
If you want help, try telling us what happens when trying to send pics. Any errors?
If you want to whine... go somewhere else.

HT4759 Why did apple support Windows better than Mac in iCloud?

From your point of view and the framing of your question, Apple does indeed support WIndows better than Mac for the limited issue of iCloud.
chewy cabeza wrote:
...YET, Leopard and Snow Leopard are NOT iCloud compatible. How can that be justified? Obviously, Apple can make iCloud available to Snow Leopard, but disdains us...
Historically speaking, Apple has rarely gone backwards in its OS development. Once they have released a new OS with new technology, I can only think of one example of when they backtracked: They released TrueType technology in System 7 and then released System 6.0.8, which included TrueType technology for continuing System 6 users.
So it is part of their culture to move forward and not backwards. Other examples:
• Inclusion of the then novel SONY 3.5" disk drive in its release of the first Macintosh (and not the industry standard 5.25" drive); after its use in the Lisa and adoption for the Apple II series of computers.
• Elimination of the floppy drive completely in the release of the first iMac.
• Use of then novel AAC audio compression as "state of the art" compression for the iPod release in 2001 instead of the outdated mp3 standard.
• Refusal to allow use of FLASH in iPod Touch/iPhone/iPads.
How could they justify these decisions? The marketplace justified them for Apple!
So, yes, they could release 10.6.9 with iCloud support. But why now, if not then?

Is the apple laptop with 4gb ram and i5 better than other laptop with 6gb ram and i5

is the apple laptop with 4gb ram and i5 better than other laptop with 6gb ram and i5

Well it depends on the age. http://www.everymac.com/ should help you identify the age of the two models.
Apple may use two processors called i5, but newer models have different optimizations than older models.
The processor is usually not the main affect on speed. RAM helps, but barely unless everything is on an SSD already. Hard drive speed is usually the limiting factor of speed on computers. eSATA hard drives with higher RPM can often yield the fastest results because notebook hard drives tend to be slower that are not SSD, but for those you need either Express/34 or Thunderbolt based adapters.

10.10.3 causing Apple Mouse problems and bring back iPhoto

I recently purchased an Apple Mouse to replace my Rocksole Magic Mouse. Since updating to 10.10.3 yesterday, my button scrolls down but not up. I have opened preferences and tried all settings for the button. Nothing helps. The old mouse works fine. I thought that I would try the Apple mouse because I like the feel better.
Seeing all the other problems with ---.3, I fear that Apple is getting like Microsquash!!!! Does anyone else have this problem, or a fix, other than going back to my old mouse?
PS: I hate "Photos", bring back iPhoto!

Clicking and unclicking did the trick, thanks
Also I discovered that iPhoto is still on my mac, but the photo library has changed to the new one, which has to be converted back.
Thanks

Open DNS better than Comcast xfinity DNS?

Is OpenDNS better than using Comcast/xfinity's DNS? If yes, how do I switch over?
I go to into Airport Utility and enter in the 2 openDNS numbers, something like 222 and 220, but at the bottom of the page right now (because I am using Comcast's DNS) there's a web address something.comcast.net Do I need to change that info too? If so, what do I put in that field?
Thanks!

How did you add them?
If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2296
If your computer is part of a network: please refer to this page: http://www.opendns.com/start/bestpractices/#yournetwork and follow the advice given.
(An explanation of why using Open DNS is both safe and a good idea can be read here: http://www.labnol.org/internet/tools/opendsn-what-is-opendns-why-required-2/2587 /
Open DNS also provides an anti-phishing feature: http://www.opendns.com/solutions/homenetwork/anti-phishing/ )
Wikipedia also has an interesting article about Open DNS:

My computer is Windows Vista 32 bits.
I have bluetooth mouse "Apple Mouse Magic", I got to work on Windows Vista I installed the drivers, but every time I reboot or re-enter Windows does not recognize me, and I have to link each time the mouse with a program Bluetooth BlueSoleil.
Does anyone know how I can leave it linked to Windows Vista without using an intermediary the "BlueSoleil"?
I tried adding it through the bluetooth device but there's no framework for when the box "Allow Bluetooth devices to find this computer" whenever I get the same error:
"Error while Windows save the settings. It is possible that the Bluetooth device is disconnected.
Do not keep the following configuration:
-Configuration Discovery
"Connection Settings"
Can anyone help me?
Thank you
