Looking for wired headset options

Hi Folks -
I have an iPhone 3G and am looking to get an old school wired headset. Something similar to what is pictured here http://tinyurl.com/aczun5 . I would like to keep one in the car, and have another for the house. With my (over-sized) ears the Apple ear buds fall right out of my ears, and I want to avoid having to deal with charging up a bluetooth headset. Any options anyone can suggest? Thanks!
- Jorma

Hello Jorma.
Are you certain this is what you want - an old school wired headset which probably is not compatible with the iPhone 3G for placing and receiving calls while using the headset?
More than likely the type of headset pictured would not be compatible with the iPhone 3G for placing and receiving calls, or I should say, would probably not automatically mute and stop the song that is playing when a call comes in with the music starting again where the song was paused when receiving a call. There are some 3rd party earbuds available which include a microphone similar to the Apple earbuds included with the iPhone 3G, and a mechanism to forward to the next song or pause a song. I have a pair of Ultimate Ears, which aren't cheap but are excellent quality, and include inserts of various sizes for the best fit.

I believe there are others available which are similar and less expensive.

Looking for bluetooth headset for ipad2

I am looking for a bluetooth headset that is compatible with the iPad2, any suggestions. I've heard there are pairing and output questions on some headsets.

I use the Motorola S9-HD's, not too expensive & they sound OK to me.

Looking for dual-band option in Time Capsule

I read with great interest the on-line article in Macworld that described the improvements with this week's AirPort updates because I run two access points in tandem: An old Linksys 802.11g device for my "legacy" systems, and an Apple Time Casule (configured to 802.11n at 5 GHz) for my newer systems. So I immediately updated the AirPort software in my 5-month old Time Capsule and the AirPort utility on my Mac so I can use the Time Capsule in dual-band (simultaneous 2.4 and 5GHz) mode so I can simplify my network and honorably retire the Linksys.
To my surprise, I find that, after updating, there is no difference in the configuration options for my Time Capsule; I seem to be limited to EITHER 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz operation. Is there a setting that I'm just not seeing?
If anyone could shed some light, or provide a "how to guide," I would be most grateful.
Thank you.

Sorry, Simultaneous Dual-Band is an option available only to the new hardware (SKU MB763LL, 764LL,765LL).

HT1386 my ipad will not sinc with my computer - it lists it but it has an additional computer listed in which it looks for the sinc option how do I get rid of the bogus computer

When attempting to share music on Itunes with my IPad I receive a message telling me that my Ipad contents will be eraced if I attempt to sinc with this computer. Under General settings it lists my computer and a bogus computer. If I sinc it will I lose all the contents on my Ipad or only the music library which is empty?

Does this apply?

Acrobat 9, shared reviews, and looking for "Save As" option

Hello to all,
I am wondering whether you can help with an annoyance in setting up shared reviews under Acrobat 9.
Background: I first established shared reviews at my company using Acrobat 8 and our own internal WebDAV server. The setup worked, and still works, marvelously. To set up a shared review, I would select "Send for shared review", select the previously-stored server profile, request to save the file locally, give the review PDF a name, and save it. I'd then post the file to one of various locations specific to our company, and all was well.
Then the company upgraded me to Acrobat 9. Its shared-review user interface is slightly different - and contains one particularly annoying aspect. It, too, allows you to save the shared-review server address as a profile - but when you do so, you inexplicably lose the ability to choose a name or a location for the shared-review PDF. When you first set up the server, Acrobat 9 prompts you for a file name and a location - and it never does so again. Instead, any time you select the server profile, Acrobat automatically appends a "_review.pdf" suffix to the file name and saves it in the same directory as the original file. This is annoying because I almost never save the review PDFs in the same folder, and need them to have different names both in the PDF file name and on the comment server. So I really need the functionality that Acrobat 8 offered - namely, to select which file name and destination to use for the review PDF. The workaround (re-create the server profile every time) is even more annoying - we work with about 50 reviews per day, and having to retype the server address & verify it every time would get old very fast.
Does anyone know what I'd have to do to bring back Acrobat 8-style "Save As..." functionality for an existing shared-review profile in Acrobat 9?
Thanks and best regards,
--Michael

> When using Save As to save a PDF, is it possible to have Commenting and Analysis enabled for that saved PDF by default?
No.

Looking for Compatible Headset for Gaming

Hello all.
With the recent release of a ventrillo client for OS X, I am now in the market for a microphone. After some searching, I determined that the G5 requires a powered mic, and decided that USB would be the easiest way to fulfil this requirement.
My question is twofold: First, does anyone have know of a USB microphone that is compatible with the G5 (all can be a sufficient answer), and Second, does anyone know of a microphone that passes the first criteria, and is attached to the head without any speakers?
The closest I found to this was: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=2310026
Thanks much all, your input is greatly appriciated!
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I finally settled for a free standing usb microphone from Logitech:
http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/US/EN,CRID=103,CONTENTID=6776
It cost 29.99 and has excellent sound quality.
I recommend it to anyone using a microphone for non-recording purposes.

Hi, just wondering, if I use the "Hotmail" option that appears in the Mail app on my Iphone 4S, does it automatically use SSL? I've tried to look for the SSL option but it doesn't appear....

Just want to make sure it is safe to use public wifi and push notifications for my Hotmail.

I Had the same us issye on iPhone 5s. Started when 7.1 came out in April. Only was to get the mail coming through ysing the mail app was to wipe the phone clean. It only worked agsin fir 36-48 hours. I had to install the Yahoo app to just tell me mail was available. i then manually opened the appke mail app. Apple was so help. My internet provider examined my email. Eventually agter 6 months and other issues starting, my carrier took back the phone and I'm in Samsung. Miss the iPhone but after trying 3 and all had the same issue something was up. Never found the issue. Apples service and quality gas dropped.

Looking for Video playback app, like a DDR

Hello, I'm looking for a program to cue up and playback quicktime files for live broadcast off of the computers hard drive. Kind of like a DDR but all running on the computer. It needs to have the ability to cue up files based on keystrokes, like 123 enter = playack of 123, and be pretty quick about it.
I found Playbackpro.... at WWW.DTVideolabs.com but I'm looking for some other options.
Thank you.

Unfortuately I cant load the clips into quicktime since it's crashing when I load them..
Just hoping for a light weight app that's sole function is video file inspection

PRE 8.0 Just looking for a way to delete titles

I have just started using PRE 8.0 and was adding titles yesturday, having learned it in an online adobe tutorial. However I could not find the delete button to remove the title once created. I was dragging different titles from the title menu onto the preview screen and playing with them a lttle bit. I noticed the little red line appearing down in the timeline representing the added title, but could not delete it again. i tried just looking for a delete button or a trashcan. i search all the menus around that screen. i tried highlighting and pressing keyboard delete. i tried right clicking the title in the preview pane and looking for a delete options. I would be glad to be glad to solve this little technique?? Other than that happy with its performance on my new Sony Vaio. I would also be keen to be pointed to a online tutorial to goes slowly though how to make a simple video

You need to use the scroll button along the right side of the timeline to scroll up.
The title is a clip on an upper video track.

Looking for a loud wired headset

I have an E71 and I like to listen to podcasts etc while on the train/plane. I find the supplied headset (HS-47) has not got enough volume to make it over background noise. I have made sure the music player is on full volume etc, but it just is not enough - particularly spoken word stuff. I need a wired headset - with a microphone - in case the phone rings!
I can see some options - WH 500 looks like a likely contender. Anyone got any suggetions - It looks like the WH 500 will need a jack plug adaptor.. which is a shame.
Thanks for any help/suggestions in advance
Andy

I'd imagine that the reason you cannot find a loud headset is because of the 100dB noise level limit in the EU (Mainly France)
This article details the iPod, http://news.cnet.com/2100-1040-960211.html however I'm under the impression that every EU audio device carries the same crippling problem with the audio including Nokia Handsets.
