Looking for a good media reader

I am looking at either the SIIG 11 in 1 media reader for my express card slot or the Cables unlimited brand, My question is, the SIIG had issues in 10.4 with not allowing the MBP to sleep when installed and also XD cards would not mount does anyone know if this has been addressed in 10.5? Also has anyone used the Cables unlimited express card and if so how do you like it? Does if fit flush against the case when inserted? If not for the need for an XD slot I would get the Sandisk express card which has all the other media types as the first two. It seems like every time you buy a new gadget is has a different media type than anything else you currently have.
Thanks, In Advance
Jerry

After alot of googling around I might have answered most of my questions, The best express card readers for Mac is either the Sandisk or Sonnet if anyone has had any issues with these Please let me know the only thing I have found is that some of the higher capacity cards may not mount with the Sonnet reader. Can anyone verify this?

  • Looking for a good ebook reader program tht also downloads metadata (besides Calibre)?

    I like all the information that Calibre is able to download for my ebooks but the interface is so clunky and non-Maclike that it's a little painful. Other apps like Bookreader and Scarlett have a much nicer look and feel but don't download metadata at all, they just show what's already there.
    Does anyone know of a ebook reader app for OSX that is able to download metadata like Calibre can? Any help would be greatly appreciated -- thanks in advance!

    Very good write-up.  I've had my W540 for almost a week.  My thoughts:
    The Case:  The screen feels a bit flimsy to me, I think that's due to small hinges mounted near the edges.
    The Keyboard: I don't mind the offset keyboard, my current and previous Dells have had these, but they were 17.3" and 17" screens. I'm in engineering so I'd much rather have the extra numbers keypad than a centred keyboard. Although I don't like the CTRL and FN keys being the other way around.
    Night light: Haven't really noticed not having one as I haven't had one in the past. My Dell has backlight keys.
    Function keys: Don't particularly like this but once I found they could be locked on using the FN / Esc combo I just use this. It stays locked even if I reboot which is handy.
    Hard drive activity light would be handy, as would numbers and caps lock.  I've disabled the on-screen notification, that was just a pain. Sort of cr*p you would expect from Microsoft and all their silly tips, etc. that I disable as well.
    Touchpad: I've commented elsewhere that this is the worse I've even seen. Absolutely useless. I've disabled both the touchpad and touchstick (again, useless) and just use a mouse.
    Screen: Dreadful! I've got the 1920 x 1080 LCD.  The icon size is ok, I've got it set to the smallest I can.  However the screen looks washed out at the bottom. Again, I've posted about this before.
    Mine doesn't have a SSD and only has 4 GB of memory, so I find it very slow.  This is not a workstation unless you go for all the bells and whistles, otherwise it's ok for MS Ofifice and the internet but not for serious work. Forget programs such as AutoCAD and the like, too slow and the screen is too poor.
    Anyway, thats my opinion, I'm sure others will love this unit and disagree with me.

  • Looking for a good PDF reader

    Is there any PDF reader out there that displays two pages side-by-side when turned sideway? I tried GoodReader but it doesn't do that.

    You can find a lot of info out there with google! Try out a bunch and see what you like best in the end!
    - Linux.com: http://www.linux.com/archive/feed/58592
    - Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PD … _.2F_Linux
    - ghacks.net: http://www.ghacks.net/2009/11/30/linux-pdf-viewers/
    Anyway, there's some more reading. I use Evince... more or less because I'm used to it. I have had problems printing every once in a while, and I hate that it's default is not to display continuously (requiring a pg dn at a page break).
    For editing (annotating and misc) I have used either pdfEdit or gimp.
    Good luck!

    Looking for a reading App.
    iPad (iOS 7.1.2) - Kindle.
    I am looking for a good app that can help a college student with reading books that cannot be found on audio book.  I have tried voice over and it works but it's very monotone and it really strings things together. 
    - I'm willing to pay for a good app but I can't seem to sort though the many that are out there. Any suggestions.

    Ah. I'm surprised, but there we go.
    Have a look here ...

    (courtesy of googling 'OSX free multitrack recording software')
    Didn't have time to do more than skim, but 'Ardour' looked promising. Protools is the only one I've used, the full product is one of the industry standards, but the free 'lite' version listed here seems to be limited to 2 in/out as well.
    Referring to your original post, I'd think trying to write or 'script' something would be a nightmare ... synchronisation of streams within something like Applescript would be a major issue, quite apart from anything else.

  • Am looking for a good video player for IOS 4.1

    Hello all. Have an IPhone 3GS for which I am looking for a good (free) video player? Any recommendations?

    There certainly is... a video player has been included with every version of iOS.
    In iOS4 all media is accessed via the iPod app.  iOS5 and later seperates audio and video into two apps, "Music" and "Video".

  • New to Mac and I am looking for a good app to process labels for envelopes. Used to use the Printmaster program on the PC side.  Wondering if "Pages" Iis the correct program to buy of is there another option. Thank you.

    New to Mac and used to use a program called print master for making all kinds of labels etc. I am looking for a good app to do the same.  I was wondering if the Pages app was the right choice to do the labels etc.  I understand that pages I'd a word processing app but I was unable to tell if it could do what I was looking for. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

    The Contacts application will print envelopes and is already on your iMac. See this Apple article for information on how to do it.
    Best of luck.

  • Looking for a good method or APP to have client sign a form in a text box

    I am looking for a good method or App to take an existing form/Document and have a client sign, date etc.  I will want to create the text boxes in a stationary location.  Possibly to also take a picture to add to form.
    Has anyone used any apps to accomplish this?
    Apps I have tried.
    Signnow
    Sign PDF
    Sign Easy
    Sign Easy is about the best except the signatures (text boxes, dates, etc) are free floating and confuse people where to add them on form each time.  Clients have no clue how to use it.
    Any suggestions would be helpful.  I may be over complicating this also, as there could just be a PDF app that I utilize.
    Thanks,
    Jim

  • Looking for a good note taking app: Are there new features for the Notes app in iOS6?

    Hi,
    I've read that the Notes app with Mountain Lion will be available for OS X as well, and I was wondering if there will be any significant updates to the Notes app coming in iOS 6?
    The Notes app in Mountain Lion supports, as far as I know, text formatting, images and attachments. The Notes app in iOS 5 does not have any of these features, yet still it is claimed that the OS X client will sync with the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. This means that there must be some rather significant updates coming for the Notes app in iOS 6 to match up with the features of its Mac counterpart. Still, no updates to the Notes app are listed in any of the iOS 6 feature lists I've seen so far.
    I'm looking for a good note taking app for OS X and iOS. I don't like how Springpad works, neither did Evernote work out for me, it's just too complex - I like Simplenote a lot though, it's just that its approach is too radical in my opinion. I was thinking that the Mountain Lion Notes app might be a good alternative because it combines simplicity with rich text formatting and attachments. I kind of hate the skeuomorphic user interface though.
    best, Ian

    You are only addressing other iPad users here & no Apple employees. We have no way of knowing, so you'll have to wait until iOS 6 is released.
    Here's some general info.

  • Looking for a good movie maker app for iPad 1

    Hi Everybody-
      I am looking for a good Photo/Movie maker for the iPad 1. Something that I can add Photos/Movies together and add some songs and have editing capabilities for all of it and possiabily export it as well to my PC to burn to DVD/CD.
    So if anybody can give my recomondations, I'd really appriciate it.There some good ones, but not for the iPad 1. So I wanted to get all of your suggestions so I can narrow down my search. Please let me know if you need further information as well.
    Thanks so much for your time.
    Sincerely- Douglas

    There are no movie maker apps in the App Store that will work well on the iPad 1, it just doesn't have enough RAM. If you read the reviews for the Avid app in the App Store everyone with an iPad 1 is complaining about it. iMovie, as you probably already knew, does not have a version for the iPad 1.
    Wait for the iPad 3 and then set about making movies, the 1 (which I also have) just does not have the horsepower for what you want to do.

  • Looking for a good music player app

    Hi.
    I have a problem. i'm looking for a good music player app for my new iphone (which i will buy my next month) in terms of playing music. after having 3 phones in the last 9 months i'm still unhappy.
    Had a Samsung Galaxy Ace. sound was above average but due to underpowered processor + RAM (and Samsung stating they won't update the software anymore) i had to sell it.
    Than had a Sony Ericcson Xperia Neo but felt the sound was "flat" and bland" and left me disappointed and uninspired coming from a well-known phone maker know for its audio & visual expertise.
    Now, i currently have the HTC Desire S. umm although the sound was "Ok" with its usual pre-set equalizers (common among Android phones) and SRS sound enhancement it felt me wanting more and although i have the phone for a week now i would say "so far-so good."
    but i heard the best music phones out there are those with either Beats Audio (which are very brand new) or the ones with Dolby Mobile.
    had an iPod touch (4th-gen) and i was amazed and impressed by the sound quality.
    so, if i can get away with a good music player app that recreates surround sound, has good preset EQ's along with customisable ones and one with Dolby-like support which app would you recommend?
    Thank you.

    Stock lock screen does not normally support 3rd party widgets so you wont find any third party players that allows you access while on lock screen..  As for the player I perfer Meridian Media Player Revolute from https://market.android.com/details?id=org.iii.romulus.meridian&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm9yZy5paWkucm9tdWx1cy5tZXJpZGlhbiJd

  • Im looking for a good note app with pen for taking notes ( in english and german )during business trips. Can anyone help

    I'm looking for a good note app with pen function for taking notes ( in English and German ) during business trips. Can anyone help?

    Really sorry to hear about this, particularly when you're putting your life on the line. But Apple cannot track your iPhone in any way unless you had set up Find My iPhone prior to it being lifted.
    It's possible that AT&T might be able to do something, but it's probably that they cannot track it, or will not without a request from an authorized law enforcement agency, but rather would only disable the device. You'll have to try and find a way to contact AT&T directly and ask if they can do anything to help you; the chances of any AT&T employee in a position to help you spotting this thread it pretty small.
    Good luck, stay safe, and come home soon.
    Regards.

  • Looking for a good antivirus/antimalware app for iPhone 5 with iOS 8.1.2

    As the subject implies, I'm Looking for a good antivirus/antimalware app for iPhone 5 with iOS 8.1.2.  Don't care if it costs $$ just want something that works.  I've been searching around and installed a couple things but they don't seem to be what I was expecting.  Thought I'd find out what others are using.

    Thanks, the problem is I'm getting spam (spoofing) that is from me saying it was sent from my iPhone with my iPhone signature.  Ive reset my password on my mail, but that's pretty sketchy either way.  And it's being sent to my contacts as well.  Trying to eliminate all the possibilities and this is my first iPhone so I'm still a noob.
    Sadly, spoofing doesn't really require much hacking, All a spammer would need to use your email address for spoofing would be your email address. If it's also being sent to your contacts, your email account may well have been hacked. But that would have happened on the server level. Your phone wouldn't have been involved. Unfortunately, once the miscreants have your contact list, changing your password will not get that back. Changing the  password to something strong may help prevent future misuse.
    Best of luck.
