Looking for a mouse for my MBP 17"

I'm looking for a mouse to use with my MacBook Pro 17" to work with Photoshop. Any suggestions? What do you guys use?

Yeah, that's a good idea but I will still need a mouse for other stuff.

While looking to upgrade to a new MBP, found out latest version of iTunes does not support wired syncing of iCal and contacts. syncing of these must be done through iCloud. This is a deal breaker for me. are there any workarounds?

While looking to upgrade to a newer MBP, found out latest version of iTunes does not support wired syncing of iCal and contacts. Syncing of these must be done through iCloud. This is a deal breaker for me for several reasons. Are there any workarounds or do I have to go back to a PC with my tail tucked between my legs?

When you say wired syncing, are you meaning between an iphone and your mac?

Waiting for a mouse click in a single thread

Here's my problem:
I'm working on a program I didn't initially create, and I picked it up from the rough midpoint of its evolution. It is a single thread AWT program, with a mouseListener interface already implemented.
Here's my problem. In a game setting, we have two players. It is no problem when both are computer controlled. When player one is controlled by a human, I need to wait for a mouse event before returning, because upon returning player two moves (regardless of its player configuration).
I can't do any kind of busy waiting because it is a single thread. I'm looking for some kind of option besides making the program multithreaded. This also makes it difficult to use some sort of boolean variable, though I don't think it's impossible.
Thanks in advance for any help.

#9 - You are correct in your assumptions. I agree it's
not the best model, but it worked for the original
purpose, which was to have one player always
controlled by the computer, and the option of
selecting a second player as being either human or
computer. Since each move is made manually - that is,
for a move to be made, it requires user input - there
was no harm in returning from a function, because it
had no immediate computation. The requirements have
just changed, and now I must allow both players to be
selectable. This presents a problem in that I have to
wait for the move actions to finish before
proceeding.Understood.

My only question is, how can I access the AWT thread?You mentioned in an earlier post that you have action listeners. As triggered by user events, these are always called on the AWT thread. For example:
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.awt.event.*;
JButton button = new JButton( new AbstractAction {
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
            synchronized (myMonitor) {
                myMonitor.notifyAll();
    });This button can be added to some swing UI. If clicked on, then actionPerformed will be called on the AWT thread, and any threads waiting on myMonitor will be notified.
I see what you are saying - it's almost exactly what
my coworkers told me - but I don't have the knowledge
to implement it, which is why I'm here. Creating a
monitor object isn't a problem (makeMove() would need
to be synchronized, otherwise you wouldn't be able to
call wait()),I recommend using a separate object for the monitor, especially if you are already using synchronized, so that you know exactly how each object's lock is being used. If you're sure it is safe, then there is nothing wrong with using the object itself as the monitor, as you suggest, however.
but I'm not sure what you mean by the
action handling method should be called on the AWT
thread.Just that any action listener method is always called on the AWT thread in response to user action.

Mouse for my MacBook Pro.

Hi I have a MacBook Pro and I want to buy a mouse for it. I've looked at the Apple Magic Mouse but it's a little expensive and also has quite a few bad reviews.
I saw a HP mouse in PC World but they told me it wasn't compatible with a Mac. Has anyone any suggestions?

Logitech FTW!!! Got a stable of 4 different mice from them, including the yet unequaled Logitech Air that never ceases to amaze people.

A mouse for my macbook

I'm looking to buy a mouse for my new macbook and am looking for sugestions. I don't want to break the bank but I'd also like something that is white/light in colour to match the computer. I've read some reviews about the mighty mouse that didn't speak to highly of it so I'd like to stay away from it but any other sugestions would be greatly appreciate.

The Mighty Mouse actually isn't that bad. I have one and enjoy it. I would say this much, any USB mouse will work. Bluetooth mice will also work. Do not install the software included with the mouse unless it is known to be Intel Mac compatible and compatible with that operating system. One thing to note about wireless mice, they can often fail to work when the battery level gets low and give no warning that the battery level is low.
Steer Mouse and USB Overdrive are two mice utilities made for Intel Macs to extend the capabilities of third party multibutton mice.

KVM-like device for using 1 keyboard/mouse for 2 Macs

I'm familar with KVMs but what I'd like to do is simply use the same Apple Keyboard/Mouse for both my thunderbolt iMac and my thunderbolt Mac Mini. Any recommendations for keeping this as minimalist and space saving as possible? (BootCamp/Windows7 will occasionally be used on the iMac.)

Zathrak, look into a free application called Synergy. It lets you use a keyboard/mouse on multiple computers. It works like a client/server type of environment. Both computers must be on the same network for this to work.
Check out the website and see if this serves your purpose. http://synergy-foss.org/

Looking for a case for my new Macbook Pro 13'' 2011

Any help would be great!
I am looking for a case for my new MacBook Pro 13'' 2011. I went to the Speck website where there are plenty of nice cases to choose from, except I am a little worried that it wont fit the MBP properly. The new MBP 13'' has the same dimensions as the older model but I am mostly worried about the power mag not properly plugging into the side of the MBP.
Have you guys heard of anyone having problems with their L-shaped power mags not fully fitting onto the macbook pro?
I like the Speck brand very much on my MBP 15'' because I haven't had any problems with it.

Speck casing is good and will fit EXACTLY what your MBP is.
here's mine,

Can I create a OSX boot clone on an external thunderbolt drive and retain the original internal install as a bootable option for the rare times the MBP is mobile?

Continuing my reaserch into the best upgrade options.
I'm looking at thunderbolt storage. But just just discovered that thunderbolt is apparently bootable...
As the 2.5" sata HD in the MBP isnt the speediest thing in the world, I was wondering if people thought it was a good idea to clone my OSX install to a thunderbolt drive (currently contemplating a 4tb mirrored (2tb resultant vol) with a 250gb osx partition 250gb bootcamp partition and dividing the remaing space for time machine and win backup)
the MBP mainly lives on the desk in the office and rarely is dis connected from its cluster of attachments. But for when i do take it walk-about can i leave the origional OSX install on the internal HD for mobile use?
sorry for all the questions ( I feel like a noob again)
also is there anyway to have two or more bootcamp drives? i'm not talking partitions within bootcamp but another complete bootcamp in its entirity....
ta
Stephen

so once I've migrated bootcamp to the external thunderbolt drive I can use the space it occupyed on the internal HD for a partition for my home directory and all those other sharable assets... point the internal and external copies of OSX at this and i't will remain current regardless of weather i'm connected to the external drives?
That's the general idea but something's you need to be concerned about.
1. I am not familiar with bootcamp so I do not know whether it can be run from an external drive.
2. Before doing anything about moving your home directory make sure you backed up your original stuff on yet another disk. Since you never attempted this before you could easily make a mistake and be hung out to dry if you cannot start over by reverting to the backup. This is an important step not to be ignored.
3. Contrary to what you read in the various web sites about moving your home directory, and there is plenty of them (google "move os x home directory"), I don't agree with the way they say to do the move, i.e, drag the home directory in the finder to the new location.
When I move the home directory I am always concerned about ownership and permissions info on the files which can be changed by simply moving the home dir in the finder. So the safest way to protect against the is to use the terminal (in utilities) to create what's called a tar.gz (gz stand for gzip just another form of compression like zip is a form of compression) of your home dir and move tht tar.gz file to the new home dir location and then expand it.
In terminal I would do the following (assume YOURACCOUNT is your current home directory):
cd /Users
tar czf YOURACCOUNT.tar.gz YOURACCOUNT
This will create the file YOURACCOUNT.tar.gz which you can now safely move to your new location. Not only that you now have a backup copy of your current home dir in that compressed YOURACCOUNT.tar.gz file.
Say you move YOURACCOUNT.tar.gz to a new drive called, NEWDRIVE. Then in terminal,
cd /Volumes/NEWDRIVE
tar xzf YOURACCOUNT.tar.gz
Now your YOURACCOUNT home directory is safely moved and all it's permissions and ownerships are persevered. You still of course need to fix up the Accounts information to point to this new place as mentioned in those many articles on the topic.

Script for Button 3 or using side buttons on Mighty Mouse for Button 3

Looks like the preferences for Mighty Mouse only allow the side "squeeze" buttons to be used for Button 4. I don't want to use the scroll ball for Button 3 because it keeps zooming when i do. Does anyone know how to write a script to configure the side buttons to be Button 3?

I think I'm having a similar problem. Lately, my side buttons have been activating seemingly on their own. I hear multiple clicking sounds. I know I can turn off the button, but I use USB Overdrive to activate page back in browsers and the Finder, so I can be surfing and be brought back several pages at once. Very irritating. It doesn't seem to be consistent either. I bought my latest iMac in June, so I the warranty should be in place, but I'm an hour and half from the nearest Apple store, making it somewhat inconvenient to have the mouse looked at.
Heh, right when I was about to post this message, it went back several pages.

Which mouse for imac

THIS MIGHT SEEM A SMALL ISSUE but I've been up all night researching this and I'm still not sure, so any advice would be much appreciated!
I'm looking for a different more comfortable mouse for my imac. I am having difficulty because I am shopping online and have no way to test the mouses. Does anyone have experience with the Trust laser mouse for mac (there's only one full-sized one) I thought I had made my choice but then I noticed that the tilt wheel is quite high off the mouse. Or is it just me?
http://www.twenga.co.uk/prices-Laser-Mouse-For-Mac-TRUST-Laser-mouse-476611-0
I need a smooth scroll wheel, a nice fairly wide body and either no side buttons or ones that won't get in the way. A lot of the other posts have recommendations but mostly to more cumbersome mouses. I just need a basic wired mouse to replace my "mighty" mouse.
I was also looking at : http://www.ebuyer.com/product/96793/showproductreviews
but as you can see the reviews say the centre button only works sometimes.
I use a Trust 350L for my PC and something close to that would be great. Everyone seems to go with Logitech but their reviews have problems.
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks in advance.

I prefer trackballs.
Logitechs are great, just don't install their software(same for mice).
Here's the one I use: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Trackman-Wheel-Optical-Silver/dp/B00005NIMJ/ref=s r14?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1244792569&sr=1-4

Mouse for macbook air?

sounds silly i know, but i have a PC mouse and it doesn't seem to be compatible with my MacBook Air. do i really need to spend $70 for a mouse that is fully compatible? by the way, i really don't like the tracking pad - now i have a painful wrist and on my way to carpal tunnel syndrome, so if you have a mouse suggestion, i'd love to hear it.
tx,
Marilyn

Open System Preferences > Mouse, and see if you can change this. Also, look at the Logitech site for drivers > http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support

Ghost mousing for Mac

i was wondering if there are any programs such as GhostControl 2.0 for Windows available for MAC machines?
GhostMouse records system-level mouse events which can then be played back so the computer can execute recorded movements and operate applications on its own.
i have yet to find a MAC version of this , so if anyone has any info, pls help me.
thanks in advance .

It sounds like QuickKeys is what you're looking for.
However, you might also want to look at what it is you're trying to do, rather than how you're doing it. For example, to choose a menu item, screen recorders might track the mouse moving from point A to point B, clicking, dragging down and then releasing once the desired menu item is highlighted. In contrast, AppleScript lets you do this with something like 'click menu item "Blah" of menu "Blah"' which is much more direct, faster (doesn't need to worry about tracking the mouse), and doesn't interrupt the user's workflow (this can even happen while the target app is in the background and you're working on something else).
AppleScripts can also handle more logic - perform actions under certain conditions which may or may not be the same as when the original was recorded.
On the down side, not all applications support rich AppleScript dictionaries (the hooks into their internal commands that are the foundation of good AppleScripts) and in these cases falling back to the screen-based actions might be your only choice.

Logitech cordless click plus mouse for a mini

I got this mouse from the clearance rack at staples and have not been able to get it to work. I have the software installed and setup it up the way the instructions say,
Is it incompatible with the mini?
I have a logitech mouse with a cord which works fine (Though I would like to keep this hooked up on my powerwave setup so I don't have to share/unplug equipment)
Does the wireless feature have to be activated somehow so it accepts a wireless mouse?

I don't know how your mouse looks like as I cannot find it from logitech web site.
I've got a logitech cordless mouse using with my mini and not sure if yours shared the same operating mechanism of mine. Here is mine. There is a transmitter/receiver stuff with a USB cable (that you should plug it into one of the USB ports of your mini) and a button on top of it. On the other hand, in the mouse, there is a very little button at the bottom of it which can only be clicked using tool like tip of a pen or a paperclip (recommended). What you have to do to link them up is to first press the button on the transmitter/receiver and then click the very button on the mouse within a certain second (5s or 10s?) - When the button of the transmitter/receiver is clicked, it will start searching for a mouse. Then, when the button of the mouse is clicked, it acknowledges the searching of the transmitter/receiver for its existence. If the button of the mouse is clicked within the 5 or 10 second, the mouse should be worked.
