I'm moving from windows notebook to MacBook Pro. When teaching I use a USB quality pointer device and want to know it the MacBook works with it

Greetings,
After using only Windows computers at work and home our company leadership now allows us to purchase Mac Pro Books if we desire. I am VERY excited!!!
Both of our sons work as engineers in Silicon Valley and will not purchase anything but Macs for years. Both son's schedules hinder me to get the answers quickly from them so I am seeking advice from you.
I love the idea of finally getting a Mac but have some questions and need to find a source to answer my questions before I send in the request for the new computer. If any of you could respond to these "beginner" Mac questions it would be wonderful.
1. I teach a large variety of classes using Powerpoint style presentations. I own a very nice wireless USB remote that I use to move between slides. Will the ProBook allow me the ability to use my remote? If so is there anything I need to know to make it work?
2. What are the tradeoffs of the 13 inch ProBook versus the 15 inch model?
3. What external devices/equipment should I plan to have available to be effective in an office environment?
4. In moving from Windows to Mac what is the best was to bridge the learning curve so I can become effective as quickly and effectively as possible?
I am very excited to make this change and your advice would be so appreciated.
Blessings,
David

David,
Have you checked the Web site of the manufacturer of your wireless USB remote, to see if their product supports MacBook Pros?
In general, the 13-inch MacBook Pro has less powerful hardware than the 15-inch model. A detailed comparison can be found in the right-hand column of the table here.
Which external devices/equipment do you currently have to be effective in an office environment with your Windows computer? The list is likely to be similar with a computer that runs OS X.
Which applications do you currently depend upon under Windows? That might be the best guide to providing advice on how to best adapt to OS X.

Difference in read/write between Windows Vs Linux

Hi,
Can you please write, whether it is a bug or my ignorance. I thought, if a java program runs in Windows then it will run in other platform too, without editing any code. It proved me wrong. So is it a bug?
Ref: Fedora linux version 5
Kernel ver. 2.6.17
jdk version - build 1.5.0_06-b05
I was working on a web service. The server side program connects to an application using socket program and sends back data to client.
While it was working very fine with Windows XP. When I moved the service to Linux (above said linux). The program stopped working. When I explored it, I found 3 things.
1. I was using PrintWriter
PrintWriter outputStream = new PrintWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(socket.getOutputStream()), true);
to write into the socket. It works fine in Windows but not in Linux. ie. it sends different bytes in linux. Thus fails. When I changed it to BufferedOutputStream it works fine.
BufferedOutputStream outputStream = new BufferedOutputStream (socket.getOutputStream());
2. I was using BufferedReader to read
BufferedReader inputStream = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()));
data from socket. It reads. But byte varies from expectation. The same program works very well with windows.
I used DataInputStream now. that works. but..
DataInputStream inputStream = new DataInputStream(socket.getInputStream());
3. While reading it was suppossed to read 2098 bytes, instead it reads 1448 bytes. It reads correctly in Windows, but not in the above said linux.
Is it a bug or there is a difference in reading and writing from socket between Windows and Linux ( even though it is same JVM).
Thanks
Sasi.

Thanks a lot for both of you.
I believe, \r\n Vs \n could not be the reason.
Because, I was sending binary data.Then you should not be using Writer at all!
>
With regard to "utf-8", I thought of that but I did
not try to issue it in the function. Because, I was
trying to send and receive raw binary data.Then you should not be using Writer at all!
>
Now, You may ask that why did you use PrintWriter.
Because, the data had unsigned byte values. Makes no difference - you should not be using Writer at all!
So I
converted everything in to char array and send it.Will cause you problems at some point on some platform unless you use Base64 or HEX encoding.
especially, whereever unsigned byte was required, I
used (byte & Oxff). It worked very well with
Windows. So I just go ahead doing other things.I use byte & 0xff for dealing with unsigned valued but your use sounds dangerous.
>
Here my question is, I assumed that if a program is
written in java and complied on jvm x, then
irrespective of the underlying OS, if the jvm is the
same x, then the program should run without error. Is
it wrong. If it is not wrong, then is it a jre bug?Your program will work if you have not used any implicit or explicit platform dependencies. For example, if in your program then you have hard codes a path as "C:\Program Files" then it will work on Windows (but then only if it has a C drive) but not on Unix.
Any program has to deal with a number of platform specific features and Java protects you from them as much as possible BUT you must deal with things like Locale, EOL and default character encoding.
No! Of course it is not a jre bug. You have coded to a specific platform and are then are suprised when it fails on other platforms.
>
Did you see my third point of my original problem
statement. How to solve that.Since I don't have a view of your code I can't make an informed comment. I think I can guess what the problem is but I won't speculate.

FCE freezes when moving between clips! Help?

Not with all transitions, but with some, sometimes even moving between clips from the same batch of film(!) FCE will stop playing through in the timeline, sound will jerk to a halt, and I'll then see what I call the "Colorful wheel of death" as FCE tries to deal with it and stops responding, making me Force Quit, which is a Jedi ability I now have much use in, btw... I have tried to Trash Prefs but still no good, and as I am fairly new to this software, with less than a year's experience, I need help!
I have three major projects to do before year's end!
What do I do?

First be sure you've correctly trashed your preferences. Follow the advice here: http://www.fcpbook.com/Misc1.html
Be sure everything is rendered before you playback. Be sure none of the windows (particularly Canvas) are overlapping.
Move your RT playback quality to low.
Sometimes it helps to reduce the opacity of an offending clip to 99% (via the motion tab in the viewer)before playing your sequence in the timeline. I can't explain why this works but its saved me alot.

HT1515 I have moved from windows to mac and had to reset my airport. I am trying it to join the existing wireless network. the process ends in an unexpected error. The ethernet connection seems to work OK

I have moved from windows to mac and had to reset my airport express. After the reset I enter the name of the existing network, name the base unit, enter its password twicw and select additional options as join the existing network. It comes back with a screen asking for the name of the base unit and password. Aftre which it starts cycling between "waiting for airport express", "connecting to 'network name'" and ends with an error message. When I try to set up using ethernet cable evrything works but I need wireless (it worked OK just hours ago). Any advice?
Thank you

Hello, vgafromva.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Sometimes a simple power cycle of the AirPort can resolve this issue. However, here is an article I would recommend going through when experiencing issues connecting to Wi-Fi.

Sync Probs after moving to Windows 7 on a new hard drive

Hi, I desperately hope that you can help me.
I have a 2G iPhone and moved from Windows XP to Windows 7. I did the same on another PC with an iPod, and it worked flawless, moved the library to the new folder, bingo.
But with the iPhone it didn't work. iTunes doesn't recognize the phone correctly, and iTunes doesn't recognize the library.
Is there any way to reinstall the iPhone from one of the previous automatic backups, so that iTunes recognizes it after the procedure?
Can someone please tell me in which folder the backup files usually are? I still have the old hard drive in my PC, only with a different drive letter now, but all folders/files are still there.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Best regards,
Peter

Thanx for the quick reply, Jason, BUT:
1st article didn't help, because the iPhone is recognized, but not anymore as the iPhone it was...
From the 2nd article I located the 'Backup' folder, but it only contains a bunch of files with extensions .mddata, .mdinfo and three .plist files, but no .ipsw file to backup from.
Try quitting iTunes> copying the folder from your backup drive to the new drive(place in location mentioned in the article above)> then launch iTunes again> and restore the iPhone from backup.
Any more ideas please?
Would it let's say get me back to normal if I 'buy' all programs again from my account? Because if I log into my account it doesn't recognize that I already downloaded and bought anything? Or does iTunes and the iTunes store think I'm coming here with another brandnew iPhone and have to buy it all over again?
Of course I can restore everything manually this way, but it's a pain...
You can download the apps again for free, but that will not recover any saved data that is stored in the iPhone backup.
Also, iTunes can switch between multiple library folders by holding shift while you launch it. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589 provides more details. So, you may have to point iTunes to the music library, if it's still on the backup drive.
If you decide to move the iTunes library folder, this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1364 will help ensure nothing is lost.

Safari auto switches between windows, makes the front window inactive...

Hi all,
I'm having a really annoying problem with Safari...
When I'm browsing quite often the front window kind of deselects itself, say for instance I have a couple of browser windows open and the downloads window, it will automatically bring the downloads window to the front! Meaning I then have to click on the browser window to make it active so I can then continue whatever I am doing... I am not pressing any key commands for this to happen (I know cmd and ~ (tilde) does this as I use it often to switch between windows). It just does it off it's own back, it's like someone else is controlling the window...
Funnily enough, it's just happened then again! when i'm typing this message, it brought the downloads window to the front and then this one back to the front, in the space of a second or so...
Thanks in anticipation as this is one **** of an annoying problem!

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Try maintenance...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1594
And make sure Safari is not running in Rosetta. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle so it faces down. Where you see Open using Rosetta... make sure that is NOT selected.
If you still have problems with Safari, go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. If it's a successful launch, then that .plist file needs to be moved to the Trash.

Share iTunes libraries between Windows and MAC

Hi all i've an wifi via "Base AirPort" i've an HD shared between MAC and Windows sistem via the BASE, the iTunes library that i've stored in the HD is non redable for iTunes on Windows because it need an *.itl file...
How can i share an iTunes library between Windows and MAC???

I would like to report back that after struggling for months to get Tune Ranger to work that it is complete rubbish. The first time I tried to sync my libraries (between an empty iTunes library and my existing one) it created duplicates all over the place in my library and generally made a huge mess of everything. The support person (who I suspect is the only person over there) gave me some guff about my id3 tags being corrupt but it was clear that every song that appeared in a playlist was getting duped. Once I fixed this (many weeks later) I tried a one way sync after fiddling with the preferences of Tune Ranger to try to make it work, but it simply wouldn't.
I don't know if anyway has had success using TR where they are also trying to sync playlists, but if you have, I would certainly like to know what you settings are.

I have no sound on dv8000. Moved to Windows 7 64 bit. (error messaged;No media controller's)

I have no sound on dv8000. Moved to Windows 7 64 bit. Windows XP was on very shaky ground (error messaged-No multi media controller's). Also, need mass storage controller driver. Where can I obtain the compatible drivers. It would be nice if HP did not abandon some of their products as they did this one. Finally, can I add 2gigs DDR 333 (pc2700 2.5 cas) instead of the 512 megs I have now. I will be grateful for any help.~~~~Cuba T

Don't blame HP....Conexant didn't develop 64 bit drivers for their audio chip.
If you want to run W7 on that model, it will have to be 32 bit. Then you use the Vista 32 bit audio driver--probably have to manually install it too.
After you make the switch, install this card reader driver for the mass storage controller.
It will also work on W7 64 bit but without any audio, I don't see the point.

I like ti known about compatibility between Windows 8 and iTunes

I like ti known about compatibility between Windows 8 and iTunes

It works for some and not for others.
At this time, there is no publicly available version of iTunes that is supported on Windows 8.
Only Apple knows when that will change.

How do you set defaults in pages such as font and moving between cells in a table?

How do you set defaults in Pages such as font and moving between cells in a table?

Default layout and styles can be set by setting up a sheet with your settings and saving as a user template (File > Save As Template). I don't know of a way to set defaults for moving between cells in a table.

What is the difference between Windows Workflow Activities And SharePoint Workflow Activities in Workflows?

Hi All,
What is the difference between Windows Workflow Activities And SharePoint Workflow Activities in Workflows?
Thanks in Advance!

Hi,
Both are developed with .NET framework, per my knowledge, the biggest difference would be the environment they applied to: one for Windows platform, one for SharePoint platform:

Swapping between windows in Word for Mac 2011?

I've just installed Word for Mac 2011 on my new Mac Mini, and somehow the Command+` keyboard shortcut for switching between open Word windows is not working anymore. I've tried to find the answer online, but everyone states to use Command+`, which is exactly what's not working anymore for me. Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!

Hi there,
Thanks for the response. I guess my request wasn't clear: what I was trying to indicate is that the very thing you are suggesting is not working. One important note though is: you mention Command + Tilde, which would mean the key sequence would have to be Command/Shift/Tilde-key, and it appears that the support page you linked indicates that also. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to work either in my Word app (it does work with other apps, so either Command + ` (accent grave) and Command + Shift + ~ works to switch between windows. On all of the Macs that I have owned so far, the keyboard shortcut to switch between windows in the open app is Command + ` (accent grave, i.e. same key as the tilde, but used without Shift). This currently works just fine between windows of any app (Chrome, Safari, Finder), but not with Word. It's driving me nuts! Any other suggestions of what may be causing this (and how to fix it?).
Many thanks!

HI Sunny
If You want to make a window DEFAULT follow these steps
1) Suppose if you have 2 windows say Window1 and Window2
2) Double Click on your Application
3) In Application Properties -->Interface View
you will get two interface views Window1InterfaceView and Window2InterfaceView
4) Select which ever window you want to make as default
and make your view in desired window's DEFAULT property to true
