Mouse Acceleration Problem (Whats a good microsoft mouse)

Yes, I have noticed that the acceleration curve on the mac is way off. I've grown up using pc, so Im used to how smooth and easy it is to use the mouse. I don't really like the way the mouse works on the mac, though I like the look and stuff. I really like Macs, but i just don't like the way the mouse moves. You can even search and you'll find other people facing the same problem:

I read in that other thread that you can get a Microsoft mouse and that Microsoft actually created another drive for Mac (intellipoint) that replaces the Mac drive for the mouse so you can have more preferences to change and the movement will be more "PC" like. So since Im deciding to get a microsoft mouse, whats a good mouse from them? I don't really like the mighty mouse because the shape makes my wrist sore, I mean it looks nice, but it doesn't feel right. So yeah, whats a great microsoft mouse?

Hi,
I have three Microsoft 'mice' a really old wired model that proabably isn't being made anymore but it was good. I also have a Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 and a Wireless Noteboook Laser Mouse 6000 (USB Dongle) - all worked using the Intellipoint drivers and the software was easy to install and allowed good customisation. It might be me but the Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse looses its connection every 15 minutes or so for a minute or so and is hard to wake up from sleep so I only use it when I'm doing FCE work. The USB mouse works flawlessly, but because I am using it on a laptop, the dongle is a bit of a hassle so I have gone back to the Apple Bluetooth mighty mouse. Don't get me wrong the Wireless 6000 is a great mouse just not practical of my purposes. The Apple mouse works well and is very reliable, it just needs a back button.

Purch. Req. to COPA link causing problems for PO Goods Receipt

A problem just started occuring in the past week and a half where our Warehouse staff could not receive in goods due to error: "Complete PA transfer structure FI".
What I have found out is that when a Purch. Req. is created with Account Assignment "F" (Internal Order - GR), the corresponding EKBN segment is being created with a Profitability Analysis segment ID (EKBN-PAOBJNR) and the Functional Location field (EKBN-FKBER) is left blank.
Previously, the PA Seg ID has been blank and the Functional Location fields has always contained a value.
This COPA link issue is causing havoc in our Receiving department and I can not find if there was a configurator's transport that caused it (no is fessing up to anything), or if a customer in the MM system set some type of flag -or- is some G/L Account was set up incorrectly that is causing a link to COPA when the PR eventually gets received into inventory.
Help.

I have checked the KEI2 before and for our Assignment 30 we have "Other Costs", and in the "Source" for the Assignment Lines for #30, we have defined a Group (OTHERCOSTS).
This group or set contains the Cost elements which we now have to add to, every time we come across a new cost element or G/L account that is assigned to a PO with line items of Account Assignment Category "F".
The problem is that approximately 3 weeks ago if a PO was created with type "F" line items and the G/L account (cost element) in the Account Assignment portion of the PO was not one that was in the OTHERCOSTS Group/Set ... we had no problem doing the Goods Receipt of the PO -AND- a PA segment was created as well.
For now, we are just adding any new Cost elements to our OTHERCOSTS set if the need arises.

My itunes will not open no matter how many times i try! It says its due to a problem. what do i do?

My itunes will not open no matter how many times i try! It says its due to a problem. what do i do?

When you gte requests to locate iTunes.msi like this, the Microsoft Installer Cleanup utility usually fixes it.
Here is a method for removal, clean up and reinstall of iTunes.
== uninstall with cleanup ==
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Save the files on your PC.
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program. The installer doesn't give any message to confirm the installation.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
(To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install)
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
*If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.

Battery, what is good?

My macbook has been turning off earlier than it used to, but not so much that it's a problem yet. I came on here and saw all the posts about batteries, and it made me realize I don't know what's good or bad. I got my macbook in july '07 and this is the information I just looked up:
Battery Installed: Yes
First low level warning: No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 3365
Remaining Capacity (mAh): 1661
Amperage (mA): 1574
Voltage (mV): 12129
Cycle Count: 576
I don't know what any of this means! (I'm clearly not tech-savvy) Am I in good shape? Or am I in trouble? Thanks guys

i'd probably *double yikes* that!!!
i've had my trusty late 2006 MacBook since Feb. of 2007 and when i recently checked my battery via "coconut battery", it said something like:
initial charge: 4255 mAh
full charge: 4432 mAh (yeah, it now has a higher higher full capacity!)
and cycle count was only 27.
(i use my laptop, pretty much everyday... and it's usually plugged in, unless i am calibrating it.)
go back afew posts and look for First Magnus' excellent reply re: battery optimization... or, wait... i'll see if i can find themj for you!

so you want it to be able to remove Malware also?

Malware bytes is an excellent free program. Microsofts Malicious Software Removal Tool is another excellent free program.

I am unaware of an all in one tool as your requesting that is free. However, you can cover your basis with just a few freeware tools.

What tools does Microsoft use to mock UI interfaces, flowchart, use cases, and UML diagrams?

I have searched google, but was not able to find article or blogs to answer this question. The questions asked here are very old. So I think this is a very relevant question today.
We are a .NET group and we to update how we storyboard our application development. What tools does Microsoft use to mock UI interfaces, flowcharts, and use cases? Specifically for projects that are either C# .NET MVC 5 and above (looking forward to
vNext).
In the past, power point was able to do some of these things, but it seems it has been deprecated? Does Visio use these things? Also, is Visual Studio's 2013 UML diagram any good or is there another tool in Microsoft's bag of goodies that has more options?
I have read about blend, but it does not seem to be .NET MVC specific.
Again, this is asking about what tools Microsoft teams usually use to storyboard as our team would like to mimic the more contemporary processes. We are in the process of upgrading our .NET applications and feel it is time to update our workflow process
as well.
Any book recommendations on TFS 2013 and agile are welcomed as well.

What version of MicroSoft Office is compatable with Mavericks?

What version of Microsoft Office is compatable with Mavericks?

Office 2004 will not run under Mavericks. If you are running Entourage, you will need to verify your data first. If you upgrade and try to import and it fails, it's difficult to recover your data. Both Entourage 2008 and Office 2011 will import a good Entourage 2004 Identity. Mail requires Entourage to be open to import so you should upgrade to Mail first if you plan on using Mail. Note: Office 2011 H&S version does not contain Outlook. You have to purchase H&B to get Outlook.
While Office 2008 works there are a few quirks under Mavericks.
Office 2008 apps open with new window after upgrading to Mavericks
Office 2011 has features like Sync to Apple applications that no longer works because those features no longer exist in Mavericks.
Sync Basics
CalDAV & CardDAV are protocols used by Apple, Google, Yahoo and others to sync contacts and calendars. Neither Entourage 2008 nor Outlook 2011 support CalDAV or CardDAV.
Apple removed sync in Mavericks with iTunes.
You can no longer sync with an iPhone or iPad via iTunes. You can only sync with an iPhone or iPad via a cloud-based service like iCloud or Google.
You can no longer sync local calendars with OS X Calendar (formerly iCal). You can, however, continue to sync calendars hosted on a cloud-based service like iCloud or Google with Apple's Calendar.
You can no longer sync with any third-party apps running on your Mac that use Sync Services, like Entourage or Outlook.
If you want to stick with Outlook, I suggest you look at Office 365 if you need sync for contacts and calendars. Otherwise, moving to Apple Mail, Contacts and Calendar with iCloud might be a better option for you.
Until Microsoft adds CalDAV and CardDAV support to Outlook, there is no way to sync other than get an Exchange account. It's $4/month Exchange Online.
A new version of Office for Mac is scheuduled for release later this year or early next year. Speculation is it will be by subscription only. If you are considering purchasing Office 2011, I would check out this deal that would auto upgrade you to the newest version when it's released.
Office 365 Home Premium 1yr Subscription Key Card
Regular List Price: $99.99 Price: $67.15
Licensed for one user to install on up to five devices. Box includes one Product Key Card - No Disc.

Hi
And without info - it's near to impossibly to help. Try my general troubleshooting note:
Troubleshooting note
When iMovie doesn't work as intended this can be due to a lot of reasons
iMovie Pref files got corrupted - trash it/they and iMovie makes new and error free one's
problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
Creating a new User-Account and log into this
This forces iMovie to create all pref. and cache files new and error free
Event or Project got corrupted - try to make a copy and repair
a Codec is used that doesn't work (even though iMovie and/or iDVD tries to / they fail in the end)
version miss match of QuickTime Player / iMovie / iDVD
preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences
other hard disk problem - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but start Mac from ext HD or DVD)
External hard disks - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work with Video
( UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things - but not for Video )
USB-flash-memories - usually do not work
Net-work connected hard disks - usually do not work (most often not fast enough and WRONGLY FORMATTES as DOS etc)
iPhoto Library got problems - let iPhoto select another one or repair it. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie. When iMovie starts-up it first look trough this iPhoto library and if faulty it all Halt’s.
This You do by
First - close iPhoto
Secondly - on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
Thirdly - now select all five options presented
THEN - WAIT a long long time (>20 hours are not strange)
free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk to low (<1Gb) - I never go under 25Gb free space for SD-Video (4-5 times more for HD)
external devices interferes - turn off Mac - disconnect all of them and - Start up again and re-try
GarageBand fix - start GB - play a few notes - Close it again and now try iMovie
Screen must be set to million-colors
Third-party plug-ins doesn't work OK
Run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac
Let Your Mac be turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help
Turn off Your Mac - and disconnect Mains - for about 20-30 minutes - at least this resets the FireWire port.
In QuickTime - DivX, 3ivx codec, Flip4Mac, Perian etc - might be problematic - temporarily move them out and re-try
(I deleted the file "3ivxVideoCodec.component" located in Mac HD/Library/Quicktime and this resolved my issue.)
buenrodri wrote
I solved the problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
Last resort: Trash all of iMovie and re-install it

Whats a good mac to use for a home flight simulator with flight controls and foot pedals?

whats a good mac to use for a home flight simulator with flight controls and foot pedals?
My old 6100 AV worked great on A10 ATTACK, back in 1993.
whats a good set up now a days?
I havent seen any MAC set ups as a lot of the after market accessories are on Windows platform.
Is there a way or should I get a dedicated simulator on PC?

The fact that USB flight input devices appear to Windows only is not a limitation; for Mac most are programmed through the sim itself. I know X-Plane does that.
I've simmed a lot and know that good sims need a lot of processor and video hardware horsepower, and you'll also need a lot of RAM. They also run up the internal temps. A Mac Pro has better cooling than an iMac. You can get a program like SMCFanControl to manually set up the fans speeds before starting the sim.
I know of no sims today that will still run on a PowerPC Mac (2005 and earlier) so you need to look to an Intel Mac with top specs. If looking at iMacs, start by looking for the quad-core i7 processor. Those models usually came with an up-rated video card. Thing 12 to 16GB RAM.
My 2010 iMac has the 2.93gHz i7 processor, video hardware (ATI 5750) with 1TB VRAM, and 12 GB of RAM. It runs the x-Plane 10 demo fine but I've not bought the full version because v10 seems to make foot pedals darned near mandatory, and I don't want $100 worth of pedals under my regular work desk at the moment.
