Natural Ergonomic Desktop 7000 with OS 10.8

I recently plugged in my Natural Ergonomic Desktop 7000 wireless mouse and keyboard made by Microsoft into my new MacBook Pro Retina with OS 10.8.3. The extra and programmable keys on the keyboard no longer functioned. These keys worked just fine on my iMac with the Snow Leopard operating system running. The keyboard appears to be programmable in the system preferences under Microsoft Keyboard, but F1, for instance, says "Handled by Mac OS". When I try to edit this, it just do anything when I click. The mouse seems to work well, showing a diagram of the mouse and all the buttons light up when I push them, but the keyboard is not working properly.
Microsoft's website only offers software and drivers for up to Mac OS 10.7 for this wireless desktop system. This "Intellipoint" software worked fine with my previous iMac, but when I try to install it on this new MBPr, the system says that I should not install "apps" from unidentified developers. I thought microsoft was pretty well known and reputable. Should I be concerned about installing this driver made for Mac OS10.7...and will it do anything helpful?
Does anyone know how to get the full function out of this keyboard with OS 10.8? I would like to be able to use all the F1-F~15 and the special programmable buttons 1-5.

This is Gatekeeper, a new function in 10.8. You can change these settings by going to System Preferences>Security. Or just right click the installer and choose open, it bypasses Gatekeeper and allows you to run the installer.

MS Ergonomic Desktop 7000 hangs

Hi Guys!
Maybe one of you can give me a nudge in the right direction for this: I have recently switched out my PC and am running Windows 8 now. Everything works fine (as fine as Windows 8 can run anyway...) except for my Microsoft Ergonomic Desktop 7000 Keyboard/Mouse
set. Those two Keep hanging from time to time and I just can't find an Explanation for it. The interesting Thing is that they seem to lock up independently, so sometimes the mouse is working, but the Keyboard is not, and vice versa. Normally this behavior
clears itself after a few seconds, but it is anyway very annoying.
The Driver I am running is 9.2.154.0. I hope that's the latest one... I already tried reinstall, swapped USB ports, even switched the Receiver from a USB2 to the USB3 Controller, but nothing seems to make any difference.
Would appreciate any ideas on this.
Thanks
Rick

Hi,
If possible, please see if it works on other Windows 8 computers.
Please also share what you got with Microsoft Hardware support if you don’t mind.
Thanks.

Msft ent desktop 7000 works with Macbook Pro 10.5.8 but not mini 10.6.1

I just purchased a Mac Mini with 10.6.1. I'm using it as an entertainment system hooked up to my 60 inch plasma. I bought a Microsoft Bluetooth Entertainment Desktop 7000 keyboard and mouse. i like the keyboard and it all works except for the integrated trackpad. At first i thought it was because it wasn't fully Mac compatible but when I tried it on my Macbook Pro 10.5.8 the trackpad worked fine.
Any suggestions??

Hi,
This is a guess: The MacBook Pro has a built-in trackpad, while the Mac Mini doesn't. Maybe it's missing a driver. When you have it connected to your MacBook Pro, try to look at your "Trackpad" system preference. Does that exist on your Mini? Also, try comparing the System Profiler outputs, especially concerning your USB.
It makes it a little more challenging when your systems aren't both the same OS level :-D, so some things will be different between the two systems just due to the OS levels.

Does Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop work with built-in BT?

Hi guys,
I was wondering if the Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop 7000 (keyboard and mouse bluetooth combo) is working with the built-in bluetooth module (Satellite A300-1QM). Any experience anyone? I'd like to know if I have to use the bluetooth dongle (usb) that comes with the wireless desktop or if I can use the built-in Toshiba bluetooth.
Thanks in advance,
bedhead.

Hi guys,
thank you for your replies. I can now confirm that it works with the built-in bluetooth!
Happy Happy Joy Joy!!
Cheers,

Radeon 7000 with a 22" Widescreen LCD Display?

My Dad's 17" CRT monitor on his B&W G3 tower gave up its life, and I'm looking to replace it with a widescreen 22" LCD display (1680*1050 native resolution). The tower's stock ATI Rage 128 (16MB) card is most likely not able to handle this resolution (in addition, it lacks a DVI port, providing only analog output which I find looks rather crummy on an LCD display), so I'd also like to upgrade to a Radeon 7000 with a DVI port. There are a number of these cards floating around on eBay in 32MB and 64MB varieties. I also spotted the Radeon 9200 (PCI variety), which is more costly and probably beyond the needs of my Dad's web-browsing, mail, and iPhoto needs.
Has anyone successfully run a 22" widescreen display at native resolution via a DVI port, using a Radeon 7000? If so, does the 32MB variety suffice, or would I have to look at a 64MB variety? The Radeon 7000 specs page <http://ati.amd.com/products/radeon7000/radeon7000me/specs.html> does not list 1680*1050 resolution (nor any widescreen resolution for that matter), but neither does the specs page for the much more modern Radeon 9200 <http://ati.amd.com/products/radeon9200/radeon9200me/specs.html>, so I figure that the specs pages don't tell the whole story. Thanks for any insights!

Yesterday I picked up a Samsung 216BW 21.6" display with 1680*1050 resolution. Although I'm still awaiting arrival of the Radeon 9200 (64MB) card, I thought I'd try to hook up the monitor to the stock Rage 128 (16MB) card to see what happens. I powered up the B&W G3, and was pleasantly surprised to see the Apple logo appear followed by the startup screen. I logged into my account, and found that the Rage 128 was actually displaying in widescreen mode, albeit at some non-native resolution. Naturally, the next step was to pull down the displays menu and check the other resolution options. The menu read as follows:
SyncMaster
1280 x 1024, 60 Hz, Millions
1680 x 1050, 60 Hz, Millions
1680 x 1050, 60 Hz, Millions
I chose the last item (can't say why this item was listed twice), held my breath, and an instant later was blown away to find the old Rage driving the display at native resolution with a very decent looking image (even though this is over the analogue RGB cable). So I can confirm that the Rage 128 does support a 21.6" widescreen display at native resolution (and I would presume the same applies for 20" and 22" widescreen displays, since they all share the same resolution). I'll also mention that the B&W G3 tower is running Mac OS X 10.4.9.
In any case, I still don't regret having ordered the Radeon, as the Rage 128 does not properly support fullscreen slideshow mode and transitions in iPhoto 5, and my Dad spends a lot of his time dabbling with iPhoto slideshows.

How do I set the desktop wallpaper with an image in aperture 3?

Sorry for the silly question, but I can't find how to set my desktop wallpaper with an image in aperture 3. It was simple when using Iphoto, but I can't find the method in aperture.
Thanks,
Dale.

Command(⌘)-9 is no longer listed in the list of default keyword shortcuts, and it has no effect.
I wrote a little Automator service to bring the Command(⌘)-9 back.
A copy of this service is here for download:
http://dreschler-fischer.de/scripts/SetDesktopPicture.workflow.zip
This service uses three actions:
Aperture: Get selected images
Export Masters
Finder: Set the Desktop Picture
To install it, open the workflow in Automator and save it as service.
To use it, select any image in Aperture, then activate the service from the Aperture menu -> Services, and it will set the master of the selected image as Desktop picture.
If you like, you can assign the Command(⌘)-9 key to the service (in the System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts Panel) and then turn any image you selected into Desktop wallpaper by simply pressing (⌘)-9.
@Frank Caggiano, if you are still following this thread: for some reason this workflow succeeds with exporting the master, but I could not get it to work with the versions instead. Any ideas?
Caution: this service will clutter the Desktop with the exported images. If you want to avoid that, change the export action to export the image to a different folder.

How can I connect a client java desktop aplication with the server of jsf

I need to connect a desktop aplication with a jsf, I need to know how I plug the desktop aplication. I open a connection and then what. I need to send faceBean or a HTML documment or a EL document class. Please help me. I don't know how to do this. If u have examples or code would be great.

ok, the problem is how to send events to the jsf, how to maintain the session, and other kind of stuffs, this works with the browsers but not with my connection. The problem is not the conecction. The problem is keep the advantages of jsf with my connection. Im using a button in a jsp page connecting to jsf implementation mojarra and works for the events. but with my desktop connection and the same parameters crash with a exception java.util.zip.ZipException: incomplete dynamic bit lengths tree.
this happens when I try to send the next parameter to jsf, javax.faces.ViewState=ANY VALUE.

I have a desktop pc with iTunes. I just purchased a mac air book. Can I sync all of my devices, iPhone, iPod, iPad, to both computers or do I have to pick one. I would like to have iTunes on my mac, but I'm afraid I will run out of hard drive space.

I have a desktop pc with itunes. I just purchased a Mac Air book. Can I sync my devices, iphone, ipod, ipad, to both computers. Or do I have to pick one? I would like to have itunes on my mac, but i am afraid I will run out of hard disk space. Do I need to set up a seperate account on my Mac so I can load some music on it if I plan to keep my devices synced to my PC? Would it be possible to sync only my Iphone to my Mac?

To get that much storage, you need to look to professional online services. Pro-level hosting accounts may offer you that much (well, many will offer as much storage as you are prepared to pay for), or Amazon professional cloud services. You could also store the files on a home machine and pay for a professional hosting service so you could stream them over your own account (assuming your ISP connection and agreement allows for the bandwidth used). You would still need to deal with the issue of finding an app for the iPad that supported avi streaming.

Desktop PC with Windows Vista won't boot up

My Acer Aspire 180 Desktop PC with Windows Vista won't boot up and has a Recovery error message that says it shut down unsuccessfully. Can someone help me with this issue?

If you have Recovery Disk then try to repair install. If you do not have then you have to contact Acer Support for getting them.
Once it is recovered you must update the Graphic Card Driver. Visit the website of the Graphic Card manufacturer to update it.

Dell Dimension 5150 Desktop fitted with a Cohiba w...

Evening all,
I have a Dell 5150 desktop PC with a Cohiba 3887 USB wifi adapter fitted, when I boot up the PC and login, the adapter status is "connected to BT Homehub 2 - TRT2", after about 1 minute the status changes to "unable to connect to your preferred wifi networks". If I then go to the wifi network list and connect manually everything is OK, how can get the adapter to connect automatically. I've had a look at the network setting (several times), the homehub is set to automatically connect, tried changing some of the settings but no joy. Thanks.

Thanks for your reply, I've changed the HH setting to b/g, no change. It looks as though there is a conflict between whatever is connecting the adapter during bootup (BT wireless manager?) and when windows tries to take over and connect to "preferred networks", if I take windows out of the mix by disabling "let windows manage your network connection" in the network settings, it will auto connect to BT Fon, which is not in my preffered network list (only the BT Homehub is) but BT Fon is in my "available network list"........Confused? I certainly am!
The Cohiba driver was installed about a year and a half ago, just before they stopped supporting the adapter, consequently no newer driver available but the adapter does work OK once I've manually connected it.

Adobe AIR desktop app with an embedded runtime

Hi,
Does an Adobe AIR desktop app with an embedded runtime (standalone/portable) that got published on Windows work on a Mac too?
Thanks

No, you need to compile a "bundle" with ADT on each platform. On Windows it creates a directory with an .exe and the AIR runtime. On OS X it creates a .app file.

Using extended desktop mode with ThinkPad x220

I have an Acer AL2216W external monitor. It has a resolution of 1680 x 1050
http://support.acer.com/acerpanam/monitor/0000/Acer/AL2216W/AL2216Wsp2.shtml
When I use extended desktop mode with the external monitor set as the primary display, everything scales properly on both the external and internal monitor.
However, if I set the internal monitor as the primary display, the external display does not fill the screen (there is a big black border around the desktop).
In both cases, the resolution setting for the external monitor is 1680 x 1050.
Is this normal behaviour?

Hello,
That's how Windows behaves. Supposedly Realtime Soft Ltd.'s UltraMon gives you more precise control over wallpaper under Windows, but I have not used it myself.

On wake up the wrong desktop appears with no desktop icons.

Upon waking up computer, a different desktop appears with no icons. I have to shut it down hard and reboot. Doestn't happen all the time but most times it does. Any suggestions on to resolve.

Hi, I had a similar "intermittent" problem. Desktop picture was correct, but no desktop icons after waking up. I found by powering off/on the monitor, seemed to refresh the display and show the icons. However the problem no longer exists, but I haven't changed any settings. I know this probably doesn't help that much, but it may prevent you having to shut down and reboot. Alan.

M8530f desktop PC with a m2n78-la mother board doesn't see my drives

i have a m8530f desktop PC with a m2n78-la mother board it doesn't see my drives for some reason. i thought it might be a bios problem. is there any way to fix this or do i need to get another board

Before you begin, disconnect everything from the computer (USB devices, printers, floppy disks, and CD/DVD discs) but leave the mouse, monitor and keyboard connected. You already checked and made sure that the power and data cables have a good connection to your drives and the motherboard now go to your BIOS Setup (should be F10) and reset the BIOS to its' defaults (should be F5 and then press the enter key). Arrow over to the Main screen and the hard drive should be recognized. Exit BIOS and save the changes. The computer should load the Windows OS if it's installed on the hard drive. If you get into Windows, check the Device Manager to make sure that the drive is showing up there too. If the hard drive was not detected, after you save the changes and exit the BIOS, turn off the computer. Disconnect the power cord from the back of the PC then press the power button on the computer for 5 seconds. Reconnect the power cord and turn on the computer and see if it boots up. If it still doesn't boot up, try a different SATA connection on the motherboard (one that hasn't been used). If that doesn't help, disconnect the Memory card reader connections inside the computer and try to boot again. If it still doesn't work and since you already tried a new hard drive, I would suspect a SATA controller/bus problem and you may need to install a SATA controller card to resolve the problem.
