Is it worth spending another $30 to get the Magic Mouse over the standard Apple Mouse?

After purchacing a new Macbook Air I found that it would be a good investment into a mouse. After looking into the ''mac'' mice I found myself in-between two: the Apple Mouse and the Magic Mouse. I have heard that the standard Apple Mouse is prone to the scrolling ball getting dirty and thought if $30.00 more would be a better investment (no moving parts, wireless...etc). If I could have some view pionts that would be helpfull! 

I think the Magic Mouse is better.  The mighty mouse scroll wheel get's dirty quickly and then ceases to scroll in one direction or the other.  The benefit of the Magic Mouse is that addition gestures are added with Lion.

  • Clicking on another app I get the video automatically returning to normal screen view

    I wonder why, if I put a youtube video in full screen and I click on another app WHILE THE VIDEO IS PLAYING all remain this way. On the contrary, if I first stop the video, clicking on another app I get the video automatically returning to normal screen view... This is very annoying. Is it possible to avoid this?
    Thanks

    Sorry, Mozilla doesn't support the patent-encumbered and royalty-encumbered H.264 standard, they support the OGG/Theodora and WebM free open source standards.
    Microsoft has a H.264 plugin for Firefox, but it is for Windows7 not WinXP or Win Vista. <br />

    There may be other H.264 Firefox plugins out there for WinXP, so do a Google search. Or maybe contact support for that DVR security system and see if they know of or have a Firefox plugin.

    Restart don't know if it helps, I do it all the time. What's with quitting Mail but it doesn't quit, and why a separate maneuver to "Log Out".

  • I synced my phone to another computer to get the update and when i went to restore it, all my music was earased, but everything else was normal. how do i get my music back?

    i synced my phone to another computer to get the update and when i went to restore it, all my music was earased, but everything else was normal. how do i get my music back?
    I enabled the backup, but when i went to use the backup, the phone recovered everything except the music.

    Of course your music was lost - unless you uncheck sync music, you're syncing with another music library. You'll have to sync your phone with the other/original computer to the music back.

  • I have an 11" MacBook Air.  When I plug in my VGA adapter to my Thunderbolt port, the computer doesn't recognize it ... unless I reboot the computer.  Is there another way to get the computer to recognize the adapter?  (It works with my MacBook Pro)

    Thanks for the useful feedback, Knucklesmac. I agree. I must have blown something on the logic board -- because I had a faulty old KVM switch that would not switch between computers without some nasty hot-plugging/unplugging the VGA video cables. (wince!). It's like when Dizzy Dean ruined his arm because a line drive hit him in the foot and he readjusted his mechanics around the injury. I take the blame because this has been a great computer, and does not deserve any blame.
    If it will help anyone else reading this thread, C2G (née Cables to Go) has some interesting ideas for still getting external video out of this computer:
    -USB-to-VGA
    http://www.cablestogo.com/product/30545
    -Convert s-video or composite video signals to high resolution VGA
    http://www.cablestogo.com/product/40971
    The price range is $75-$85, which doesn't make horse sense to me for such an old computer -- which has a lot of life in it anyway, because its own 15" monitor is not chopped liver.

  • When I open another tab I get the wheel of death for 1-2 minutes and I often have to force quit FF. Mac OS X 10.6.8/ FF 7.0.1

    I have Mac OS X 10.6.8 using FF 7.0.1. When I open another tab I get the wheel of death for 1-2 minutes and I often have to force quit FF. I saw this question asked but no real answer given as to why this has been happening in the last three weeks after I've used FF for years and not had this problem before. Please give some help or I'll have to use Safari full time.

    Delete and reinstall it.

    Hi cor-el,
    Yes I did. It didn't seem to work when just extracted into my home directory. After looking at the two wrapper scripts (firefox and run-mozilla.sh) it looked like it needed to be in /usr/local/lib/firefox-3.6.23 which I did and which works. The problem is that the Help menu is the one for 3.5.9 (including Help > About Firefox says version 3.5.9). Even if I rename the two wrapper scripts and the executable for 3.5.9 I still get the 3.5.9 Help menu. FWIW, my 3.5.9 was packaged in FC11 and the 3.5.9 firefox script is in /usr/bin.
    I'm sure I'm just overlooking something obvious but here is some debugging output:
    <pre><nowiki>[mike@desktop firefox-3.6.23]$ pwd
    /usr/local/lib/firefox-3.6.23

    Thanks for any help.

  • After app update the app icon is gone.cant open it anymore.no possibility to connect to iTunes on laptop.is there another solution to get the app open again.cuz it's a office app and I need it.

    After app update the app icon is gone.cant open it anymore.no possibility to connect to iTunes on laptop.is there another solution to get the app open again.cuz it's a office app and I need it.

    Try a reset or restart.
    If the app is still missing, download again via iTunes or connect to the computer and sync it back from iTunes on the computer.
    Frankly, in the time it took to sign up and post here the app could have already been re synced from iTunes on the computer.

  • I seem to have lost my wifi profile on my macbook air. How do I create another profile, or get the old one back?

    seem to have lost my WiFi profile on my Macbook air. How do I create another profile, or get the old one back?

    The profile will automatically be added back again when you connect to the network again. Here, I assume that you have a check mark in the box next to Remember networks this computer has joined.
    If the box is checked and the network does not appear, then there may be an operating system problem with your Mac.
    That would be beyond the scope of what we handle here with the AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule, so you would want to post in the appropriate operating system community to follow up on that.

  • Okay..I've been trying to fix this for DAYS now!  When I sign in (under settings) w my new apple ID, then go to update or purchase something I cannot get the new apple ID to come up.  It's still using the old one (which is disabled) ..please help!

    Can someone pls help me??  Okay..I've been trying to fix this for DAYS now!  When I sign in (under settings) w my new apple ID, then go to update or purchase something I cannot get the new apple ID to come up.  It's still using the old one (which is disabled) ..please help!

    Delete what? The ID's? They cannot be deleted - you just quit using it.
    If you still have one old ID - that you have purchased content with - you are saying that the password no longer works with that ID? Did you try to reset the password for that ID?
    Read this - instructions if the ID was disabled for entering the wrong password.

    Just do not create another ID!

  • If i sign up for itunes match with one apple id can i get the other apple id songs

    if i sign up for itunes match with one apple id can i get the other apple id songs

    I'm assuming you mean can you access the purchased songs from another apple id.  No you cannot.  You will need to download these on another computer and then transfer the hard files into your itunes library that you are using icloud with and let icloud match them.
    You cannot access two different id's from one match account.  Also, if you sign out of the match account that you are signed into to another to download purchases you will not be able to sign back into your match account for three months.  So do not do this either.  Just use a friends computer or another way.

  • How do I get the old Apple ID off of my iPhone and the new one installed?

    I got a MacBook Pro and decided to create a new Apple ID different from the one I previously had. How do I get the old Apple ID off my iPhone and the new one installed?

    When I tried this, my music stayed the same whereas my new iTunes has only about half the music it used to.  How can I get all the music to clear out so that it can sync my new music to it.  Simply connecting it to the MacBook Pro and pressing Sync has not worked.

  • When logging in to Icloud I get the message 'Apple ID' is valid but is not an Icloud Account.  I have changed passord but still get the same message.

    I have just set up Icloud and backed up files to it. I have not been able to log in.  I get the message 'Apple ID is valid but is not an Icloud account.  I have the same User ID for Icloud and Apple but different passwords.  Neither combinations work.  I have reset passwords twice but get the same result.

    You cannot set up an iCloud account on Windows - is that where you tried to do it? The error message you quote is what happens when, having an Apple ID, you attempt to use it on Windows to create an iCloud account. You can create an iCloud account on a Mac or an iOS device, then you can sign into it in the Windows Control Panel. None of this should have any effect in the iTunes Store (the forum for which is where you have posted).

  • Ibooks author, how do I get the standard book pages background into my document. I have published one book so far which does not display with a book pages background or options for font size.

    ibooks author, how do I get the standard book pages background into my document. I have published one book so far which does not display with a book pages background or options for font size.

    No on the book title, no problem there.
    The issue is: my book pages appear as on white paper, no background that resembles a open book and also no option to change fonts. The book was created in iBooks author, there was a problem going with the "Publish" menu route so I was instructed my Apple to "export" the file and submit that. I think that's the problem after reading that iBooks author is a hybrid epub file.
    Thanks for getting back to me.
