New Treo compatability?

I'm considering getting the new Palm Treo (750p?) and wonder how compatability is with my MacBook and iSync? (The Apple iPhone is Cingular develped/related and I have no desire to ever deal with them!) Thanks--lanny turner

Hi Lanny
The Palm OS Treos are pretty consistent in their support for Mac integration - their installation disk will give you Palm Hotsync, which people either love or hate (in other words, it'll either work all the time, or you'll have a pig of a time figuring it out). Many people, myself included, switched to Missing Sync as a better solution (it replaces Hotsync and iSync on the desktop side).
You may also find answers here: TreoCentral Forums for Mac.
I have a feeling it'll be the 755p, though....
Good luck!

Question Reguarding the new windows compatable Macs

I have been reading a lot about the new windows compatibility on all new Macs. I also researched the software it requires. Is the new software needed to run all of my PC programs, or just anable me to use Windows OS? Does this new technology allow me to use ALL of my Windows software including third party programs like games and other apps?

Parallels is less suitable for playing games due to constraints on 3D graphics.

MSI Big Bang-XPower New Build Compatibility Questons

I am doing my first build, and do not see several components I have selected (some already purchased) for my new system in the MSI compatibility literature for the Motherboard. Can someone please advise if any of the below components will cause issues? I have done much research and believe I am OK, but would like to have confirmation before proceeding. As an FYI, I will be doing video editing with the new system:
1.) Motherboard: MSI Big Bang-XPower LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard (purchased)
2.) Video Card: MSI N470GTX Twin Frozr II GeForce GTX 470 (Fermi) 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card (purchased)
3.) OS Drive: Western Digital VelociRaptor WD6000HLHX 600GB 10000 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive (purchased)
(I will also have four 1TB drives in raid "10" - 7200 RPM Western Digital SATA 3.0 Gb/s for data storage, working files, etc.) (to be purchased)
4.) CPU: Intel Core i7-950 Bloomfield 3.06GHz LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor BX80601950 (purchased)
5.) Memory: This one I would like confirmation on but I believe it will work (I like that it is Cas Latency 7 and know I will pay a few more $ for this):
G.SKILL Trident+ Turbulence II 12GB (3 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL7T-12GBTDD
DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Timing 7-8-7-24 Cas Latency 7
Voltage: 1.65V
Multi-channel Kit: Triple Channel Kit
Timing: 7-8-7-24
Model #: F3-12800CL7T-12GBTDD
Item #: N82E16820231381
6.) OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (purchased)
7.) The other items are fairly straight forward.
Any feedback on the above will be greatly appreciated, especially the memory.

I have two follow-up items from the above (one power supply and one RAM):
1.) I Am between the following 2 power supplies:
- CORSAIR HX Series CMPSU-850HX 850W ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V 2.91 80 PLUS SILVER Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply ($169.99)
- CORSAIR Professional Series AX850 850W ATX12V v2.31 / EPS12V v2.92 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply ($194.99)
I am leaning toward the first one, I do not believe the second is worth $25 more - comments???
2.) I spent another few hours on RAM selection today. This is driving my crazy...
I spent time today with Intel concerning RAM for the Intel Core i7-950 Bloomfield - here is a cc of my log (they obviously have only one recommendation):
You are now chatting with 'Allan'
Allan: Hello. Thank you for using the Intel Customer Support chat service. We are glad to be of service. How can I help you today?
sldwaa: I just purchased in i7-950 Bloomfield and am in the process of purchasing the RAM. I have an MSI Big Bang X-Power MOBO and am running Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit. I have read many posts and Intel spec sheets and I understand Intel does not recommend anything other than 1066 / 1.5v VDIMM. Now for my question as I am new to purchasing ram and building PCs. Here are my questions:
1.) I am deciding between 1066 and 1600. The most posts recommend 1600. The obvious alternative is the Intel recommended 1066. I believe if I do not over clock, 1066 will be the ticket. If I buy the 1600, then I can only achieve this by over clocking - correct?
2.) If I buy 1600 and do not over clock, it will perform at 1066 without any negative effects - is this correct? This is assuming XMP is not enabled. I will not be a heavy over clocker, but want the capability just in case.
Allan: the processor supports DDR3-800/1066 at 1.5V
Allan: no other memory is supported... no matter if the board supports 1600 or even 2000mhz
Allan: I remind you that the memory controller is on the processor, this is not integrated on the board
sldwaa: Understood. Follow up question - If I purchase 1066 with the fastest CAS Latency I can find (possibly 7), can I over clock the 1066 (understanding the negative potential effects) or would I still need the 1600 to achieve any over clocking capability?
Allan: I am afraid I cannot answer that... I cannot comment anything about over clocking
Allan: you will need to search this information on Internet
sldwaa: OK - to summarize you only recommend 1066 at 1.5VDIMM. Anything else, I am on my own, including risks of overheating and instability = correct?
Allan: that is exactly correct
Allan: Intel recommends DDR3-800/1066 at 1.5V
That being said, I guess I am between 1066 with the lowest CAS Letency I can find at 3x4GB, or go with the 1600 (I researched and agree 3x4GB is better than 6x2GB). As intel is against the second, based on what I am reading, I am leaning toward 1066. If so, can I overclock the 1066 to something higher or is this the max speed? Help!

Best source for new Treo 680

I just had a bad experience with a seller on eBay - but I still want to find a new Palm Unlocked GSM Treo 680 to replace my old 650. What would anyone of you suggest as the best place to find one from somebody reputable, since Palm no longer sells them?
If one of you has one to sell, please let me know.
Any help appreciated - you can email me at [email protected]
Thanks.

Post relates to: Treo 680 (Unlocked GSM)

Hi.. Welcome to the Palm forums. Personally I have never trusted Ebay however, I know alot of people who have gotten good quality products cheaply there. Go to a vendor you know is reputable like Amazon. I did check and they do have unlocked gsm 680s available.

Hot synch old Zire 72 with new Treo Pro

Can anyone tell me how to do this?
Post relates to: Treo Pro T850 (Sprint)

So it's quite simple, but does require a little work.
First thing you need to do is get your data out of Palm desktop and into Microsoft Outlook.
There are two ways to do this
1.) sync your Zire 72 to Outlook
2.) Use a program called pocket copy from www.chapura.com and do a one time transfer of everything automatically for you
Once the data is in Outlook just sync your Pro to the same Outlook profile.

Iworks 09 and new iWork compatibility

We run our office all with the iWork Suite from apple. However we have some older machines which cannot be upgraded to neighter LION nor Mavericks.
What I have run into now is, that the older machines cannot run the new iWorks suite anymore AND the docs the new Pages/Numbers create are no longer backward compatible.
This is an awkward step I think. I am really not happy with this.

HT4413 Time Machine- moving files onto a new mac- compatibility issues?

If you use Time Machine to load files from a mac running snow leopard to a new mac running lion, will everything work normally in lion thereafter on the new mac? It won't try to revert the new computer to snow leopard, will it?
Also, I want to clear off the old computer once I do this (an 2008 Snow Leopard macbook) so my sister can use it for basic internet, etc. What is the best way to do this?
Last question: I have a 2008 Microsoft Office Suite program that I installed in 08 on the macbook. It came with 3 access codes total, and I split it 3 ways with 2 roomies and we each have one access code. If the office is uninstalled on this old computer and I try reinstalling it on the new one, can I use the same code as before or will it think that I am trying to use the same code on two computers? I don't need the program on the old computer anymore and just want to "switch" it to the new one.
Thanks so much for any ideas!

No, it can't revert Lion to Snow Leopard.
Your user data and preferences should be transferred without problem.
Applications, if you elect to copy them over, may need updates to work in Lion.
Some applications won't work at all - those written for use on earlier PPC Macs (the G3, G4, G5 series) won't run at all. That includes Appleworks, Office versions before 2008, and some Adobe Products.
You'll need to replace those applications with compatible current ones that can open the files created in them.

Boot from your grey installer DVD disc 1 (hold down the C key on startup or hold down Alt/option on start and choose the installer disc).
OK the language page (if present). From the installer screen, go to the menu bar and choose Disk Utility; depending on the OS version it may be in the Utilities menu or Tools menu.
Do not click 'Continue' yet!
In DU, select your internal drive in the sidebar (the top item with the makers name and serial no.). Run Repair Disk. If that comes up as disk OK, click the partition tab. Select the partiton from the drop-down above the graphic; 1 partiton is all you need. Go to the options button and ensure that the partition scheme is GUID and the file system to Mac OS Extended (Journalled). Name the partiton (usually Macintosh HD), click Apply.
This next step is optional;
When that's finished, select the new volume in the sidebar (indented to the right below the drive) and go to the Erase tab, select Security options and select zero data (one pass is more than sufficient). Click erase. That will take quite some time; probably measured in hours and dependant on the size of the drive.
(The purpose of this step is to ensure there is no recoverable data left on the drive).
When that's completed, close DU and continue with the installation.
When installation is complete, after the restart ignore the setup assistant and shut down the Mac (you may have to do this by holding down the power button).
The Mac is now ready for the new owner to personalise it as if new.
Be sure to pass on the original grey discs with the Mac, and the SL retail disc if you loaded SL.
You can use the Snow Leopard retail disc instead of the grey discs, but you won't be asked to load disc 2 and the iLife software on it in that case. If you use the grey discs first, you can simply follow up by installing SL over the top to upgrade the system files. It won't affect anything else (leave out the partition and erase steps of course!)

Sorry, you need to ask in the MS or Office forums for that.

Safari 5.1 New Update Compatibility Problems

I am having problems with the new safari 5.1 version that was just updated regarding a few websites I visit and their graphics and settings. Safari is NOT compatible with them now. I did not have any problems prior to the update. How can I restore my Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 computer to the previous version of Safari?
I've already tried moving some cookies to the trash and cleaning out the caches still without any luck....

Scrappy --
What third party internet apps/extensions/plugins do you have on there? I would bet anything that one of them is now conflicting. Got any Antivirus apps, blockers, etc.?

Older ATV remote + New MacMini compatibility?

Quick and probably easy question, but searching did not yield an answer here...
I'm trying to use the remote from my old first-gen AppleTV (remote model A1156) to control media (i.e. iTunes and Plex) on my new MacMini (latest Server model). Playback controls don't work and pair/Unpair actions don't seem to do anything - is there a fundamental incompatibility there or am I missing something?
Thanks!

Check the security settings in the System Preferences and make sure the IR receiver is enabled. Otherwise, the older remote should work.

New ICal compatability

I have a G5 iMac running 10.5.8 (appearing to be maxed out), and a MacBook Intel Core 2 Duo running 10.6.5, and two iPhones 4 running iOS 4.2.1. If I update to new iCal (12/8/10), it appears only iPhones and MacBook will run it. Will it be compatible with old iCal on G5 iMac? I sync all calendars over MobileMe.

Dan,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
According to MobileMe: Supported system requirements, and MobileMe: Using Mac OS X Leopard v10.5.x with the new MobileMe Calendar, "Leopard is not fully supported, but can still get basic functionality from the new MobileMe Calendar."
"Considerations before upgrading to the new MobileMe Calendar:
▪ If you have recently synced your MobileMe Calendar with a computer running Mac OS X Leopard, you may receive an alert when upgrading to the new MobileMe Calendar. If you are no longer syncing with any computers running Mac OS X Leopard, you can safely ignore that warning.
▪ If you have a computer with Mac OS X Leopard that syncs calendars with the old MobileMe Calendar, you may receive a sync dialogue warning that all of your calendars will be deleted when upgrading to the new MobileMe Calendar. This is expected since part of the upgrade process is to delete your calendars from the old sync system. Additionally, iCal will appear to have no calendars in it until you follow the setup steps at the bottom of this article.
▪ Features of the new MobileMe Calendar that are not available with Mac OS X Leopard:
▪ Push updates. See this article for more information.
▪ The ability to share and accept shared calendars with others from within iCal. These changes can still be made at me.com/calendar.
▪ Subscribed calendar syncing."

New Ipod compatability

I have several docks for the original iPod (15GB, turn wheel seperate from buttons). I'm planning to get the newest video iPod, which I understand is slimmer than older iPods. Will the new iPod fit in all the docks for the old ones?
Also, completely unrelated, does the Logitech Wireless Bluetooth Headphones for iPod work for iBook as well? I have Bluetooth capabilities on my iBook.
Thanks!

Well, the Dock Connector hasn't changed at all since Apple introduced it, so you should be able to use them. The new iPod comes with an adapter (if you can call it that) that will allow your new iPod to fit on your dock without the risk of breaking it.

Treo Compatibility

Is a Treo compatible with a .Mac email address using it's native mail application?

The VersaMail application that comes with all Palm based Treo's will walk you through it.
For other specific questions regarding Treos you should probably post your question in the Mac section of http://discussion.treocentral.com/

New Airport Compatability

I think you can but im looking for some confirmation. With the new airport extreme base station, can you still use the old extreme and express base stations to extend the range of the network granted with a sacrifice in speed.
If anyone can confirm this, that'd be great.

I think you can but im looking for some confirmation.
With the new airport extreme base station, can you
still use the old extreme and express base stations
to extend the range of the network granted with a
sacrifice in speed.
Though it has not yet been released and nor has the manual, according to Apple's own tech specs, no you can't.
From: http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/specs.html
AirPort Express can extend the range only of an AirPort Express wireless network.
This implies that it can't be used to extend the range of an Airport Extreme (802.11n) network.
Also
http://www.apple.com/airportextreme/specs.html
does not mention WDS or extending.
It should also be noted that the Airport Extreme 802.11n uses a different chipset to the Express and therefore is probably incompatible when it comes to WDS.

New Video Compatability?

The tech specs on the ipod page have this now:
Video formats supported: H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Low-Complexity Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; H.264 video, up to 768 Kbps, 320 by 240 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
Found this on apple's website. Origionally a 5G iPod could only have video that was 480ish by whatever. Can we now go up to 640 on an older 5G iPod? Has anyone tried this yet after updating to 1.2?

Updated my iPod to 1.2 and now I can drag in 640x480 .m4v files (converted .mov file in iTunes under the advanced menu).
Seems to play fine. Now I have to go back and rerip my old files for better quality!

New phone compatibility

I'm going to get an android 2.2 phone watch and I need to know if I can use it on verizon

I think you probably want the Verizon Wireless Community. These boards are for Verizon's landline services.
