Palm like device that just works on Mac??

I badly want a good device like a Palm that I can use as a PDA. I have not heard a lot of good things about the iTouch. Also I want to be able to simply add data with keys or stylus. In the past I ended up with synching problems with my Palm for reasons too long to explain.
Anyway bottom line does anybody have any good recommendations? I don't want to pay the hight monthly fee for an iPhone. Would just like a traditional Palm like device that simply worked.

Here's a little update.
I tried a recommendation in this thread, to download the 2.0.1 package directly, and shift-click restore. Well that didn't do anything. After I attempted to install Molecules, my iTouch locked and was stuck on the apple logo screen. All my friends are having the same problems, and have since went back to 1.1.4. This isn't a "countless happy working devices", this is more like countless unhappy working devices. For the countless you may think do not post here, I can guarantee there are many that are having problems, that have simply attempted to contact apple to resolve the problem (to no avail).
Here are my statistics for use of the iTouch.
1.) I spend less than 1 hour using the iTouch.
2.) I spend 4-8 hours each day restoring it.
3.) This is a consistent theme amongst users on this forum.
We can play semantics all day here. The bottom line is; people are coming here looking for answers, not pacifists, or complacency. All we're finding here, are the latter.

Contact Adobe sales or Adobe Customer Service.
You would have to upgrade to CS6 for Mac as a "cross-grade" or platform swap.
They will not allow you to simply swap for CS5 Mac, because CS5 is no longer sold or supported.
You can either upgrade to CS6 Mac by way of platform swap for some $200, or you can join the Cash Cow subscription mode.

Can anyone recommend a print server that will work with Mac & PCs?

Can anyone recommend a wireless print server that will work with Macs and PCs ?

Wireless has a disadvantage for many Powerbooks. Unless yours supports 802.11g, it is not secure. So it must support Airport Extreme on the Powerbook to have a secure wireless network. Also many printers only support 802.11b, making matters worse, as that is not secure. See my FAQ* on printing:
http://www.macmaps.com/printersx.html
Some printers have ethernet ports, which would allow you to use a Wireless ethernet bridge that is 802.11g. Similarly you could use one on the Mac, and then you'd have your wireless printing. Ask the printer manufacturer what might be possible. The last thing you want is an insecure network, especially if you are at most 4500 meters/1500 feet from someone who could pick it up and log into it that you don't want.

Dolby Digital Audo Setting -- Need a setting that just works!

Can anyone provide info about the dolby digital (DD) AUTO setting - and what it is supposed to accomplish?
Auto (the default) limits output to stereo via HDMI, and 2 channel PCM via the optical output. That just doesn't seem like much of an "automatic" setting to me.
When set ON - content encoded with DD does get properly sent out the optical cable but at the expense of the stereo feed to the HDMI port. And, this can be really confusing to a casual or novice user, especially if the user had been watching content with just the TV speakers active. If a new movie with DD encoding starts, the user gets no audio at all. And there are times when audio output from the TV is fine, and the power from the audio receiver is not needed.
I believe Apple should enable the stereo feed via HDMI - AND - output a digital feed via the optical cable. It doesn't matter if this is the ON or the AUTO setting, but one of these should "just work".
I'm really not looking forward to having to toggle this setting depending on the content I'm viewing.
I'd appreciate any helpful info - words of wisdom - even blank stares!
Thanks in advance
JD

Ok I think I understand how it works now. Auto won't send 5.1 if one of the components connected (like a TV) does not support 5.1. So for instance if you connect your HDTV with HDMI and use optical to a 5.1 receiver, you'll get stereo on both because the TV does not support 5.1. Auto on the Apple TV basically uses the lowest common denominator that allows both to output the same thing at the same time.
However, if you switch it to On in that setup, only the optical cable will get sound and it will be in 5.1 because it's the only output connected to a 5.1 capable device, your receiver.
However, the optimal connection method is to just connect your Apple TV with HDMI directly to a receiver with HDMI inputs. That way, Auto allows the 5.1 sound over the HDMI cable to your receiver and the receiver sends the video to the TV over its HDMI output cable.

Latest version that will work with Mac mini Core SOLO under Snow Leopard?

Latest Flash Player 11 versions will work with Snow Leopard, but they say they require a Core Duo or newer processor. What is the last stable version of FP that will work on my mom's Mac mini 1.5Ghz Intel Core Solo (running OS X 10.6.8)?
Have searched archives and web for this and still draw a blank. Thanks!

Fixed it!
I mounted it in target mode again and manually applied the 10.5.4 combo updater ad it now boots again.

Problem with a program that just worked before....

Hello,
(I'm a beginner !)
I have a program to command 2 motors and collect the speed of each axis and the load applied between them.
The hardware works well (checked all the sensors) and the program worked well until 5 days...
Now my problem is : I want to see the load in real time (using a DBL numeric indicator linked to a DAQ Assistant that just collect the load datas)
AND in the DAQ Assistant (double click on it), in see the load in real time when i use the button "RUN/STOP"
but on the front panel, when i click on the button "RUN" the indicator is just fix on the first value and doesn't indicate anything...
I checked the connector between my DAQ and my N. Ind. and I changed the N. Ind. and tried to update the Channels in my DAQ to see if the problem came from that but nothing is repaired now... after 3 days on this problem
Thank you if you can help me...
Solved!

A couple of things. I would change your DAQ setup for the force to be "1 Sample (On Demand)", because it appears that you are only reading one sample every time you go through the loop. I would think your other DAQ setups need this too.
I also assume that you are using the loop speed to control the sample rate of your acquisition of the other data channels.
Is all of your acquisition occuring from one card or seperate cards? Some cards don't allow simulatenous tasks/acquisition. I guess the DAQ assistant takes care of that.
You may also want to take a look at the Continous Measurement and Logging Template. It may be well suited for what you are trying to work on.

Need advice re: Lightscribe drive that will work in Mac Pro

I have the stock superdrive in my Mac Pro upper slot. I had a three year old LaCie 16x Lightscribe Drive that I took from my G5 and installed it in the lower slot. I could not get the MacPro to recognize it. I triple checked the cable connects, tried Cable Select and Slave jumper settings, installed the latest LaCie system extensions for the drive, but it still will not recognize it. It does not show up in Disk Utility or anywhere else.
So.... I bought the Lite-On DH-20A4H08C drive from Amazon. Put it in (Cable Select) mode, and the Mac Pro recognized it right away. The problem is that the tray in the Lite-On drive sits too low in the chassis, and when ejecting, it catches on the drive door of the Mac Pro - sometimes it can get out all the way under it's own power, sometimes I have to pull it out. It retracts pretty much OK. I'm not into the stress that this misaligned drive is putting on components, so I plan to return it.
Can anyone recommend an IDE Lightscribe Drive that will work in the Mac Pro and where the tray will eject nicely through the seemingly slimmed drive doors on the Mac Pro? If not IDE, can I use a SATA Lightscribe Drive? I understand there are two SATA ports on the motherboard beneath the back of the optical drive enclosure.
Looking for some positive experiences here please?
thx -b

Well, I found the fix! I ditched the Lite-On and continued fiddling with my better fitting LaCie drive and I found that the LaCie drive has to be in the upper bay (i.e. first in the chain) for it to work. The SuperDrive had to be moved to the lower bay (last on the chain). I have no idea why this is, but swapping positions causes the LaCie drive to be invisible to the Mac Pro. Of course, both drives are set to Cable Select. Even LaCie tech support (which was very responsive BTW) were scratching their heads.

My final device that just won't connect!

Hi Folks, I have a BT HomeHub2 which has been working fine for about a year now. I have three Macs, a PC, an XBox 360, a Wii and my ipod all successfully connecting to this without any problems at all.
I've just bought a San Francisco Orange phone - this is really a ZTE Blade android phone that Orange have changed the name. It can connect to my sisters BT Homehub2 no problems, but it's just not connecting to mine.
It sees the network, I put in the correct password and it hangs at 'obtaining IP address'.
The curious thing is that it will happily connect via BTopenzone and seeing as I live in the middle of nowhere this will be taking my homehub connection. However, this isn't satisfactory as everytime I wake my phone up I have to then re-register via BTfon on the internet phone app.
I have a sneaking suspicion that it maybe that I have a setting blocking me from linking this phone, but have no idea how to proceed.
(oh, and I have been pressing the pairing button on the hub by the way!)

Hi Geaves,
Well, yes and no. I'm already part of the Modaco forum folk. The issue I'm having isn't the same as those particular links (have gone through them thoroughly) - that issue is with the phone constantly dropping the wi-fi connection... I've never managed to get it to connect to my own home hub apart from with openzone.
I get the impression that this is something to do with the homehub setup - other people are having this issue, though only a handful it has to be said. Also, I have managed to get it to connect immediately with my sister's homehub2 - sadly she lives 450 miles away
Here's a snippet of something that may or may not spark some suggestions with those familiar with the ins and out of the BT homehub (which I ain't):
Taken from the modaco forum:
'Aside from the SF's known v1.0 wifi quirks, it sounds as though there may be something strange in the router setup limiting the number of connections available to you, possibly because of maximising the number available to other passing BT customers ... I think you need to ensure that you aren't being excluded from your own router because of the way it is setup. Ordinarily your security might be setup to limit the number of (in-house) connections (by restricting the DHCP pool of addresses), or permit only devices already known (a MAC whitelist), or even having DHCP turned off with everything having its own static IP address. Those would normally be deliberate (manual) security setup choices, (but I dunno how your thing sets itself up). And all those (and probably many other) things could give the sort of grief you are encountering. But, although (or maybe because) I simply don't know the detail of how much of your router is reserved for your own use, I'd suspect that might be where the trouble lies. Certainly the first thing I'd want to investigate.'
Could this be something?_ I have 6/7/8 devices on my connected list, depending on wether the wife/daughter is on a laptop or not.
Also, as a comment:
I have a Dell Streak phone (2.1) and a BT HomeHub2, guess what ... I have the same problem. I have noticed that the Streak leases everything single address on the hub and then never connects. Also what I see is massive amounts hits in the MAC table for the phone ... xxxx.xxxx.xxxx-1 xxxx.xxxx.xxxx-2 xxxx.xxxx.xxxx-3 etc. I have told the router to always lease a specific address to the MAC but no good. I think it's BT's software in the Hub.
Just putting two sides of the story down here as I really have no idea wether the fault is the hubs or the phones.

I need a list of printers that will work with Mac 9.1.

The 2 printers I have bought for my iMac 9.1 have permanently crashed and I need to see a list of under $150 printers that are compatible. I want something like the discontinued hp 4215. I was oblivious to this problem and purchased a hp 4315 that won't work and the store where I got the product was of no help in finding me something that is compatible. I appreciate all suggestions, but both my Brother MFC-3220c and an HP $49 printer broke on me. I hear Epson might work better for me. Thanks for your help!!
iMac OS 9.1 Mac OS 9.1.x

Hey Jeff: Thanks for the info. I will check on eBay and see what I find. I have been looking for over a month and had no idea that the 9.1 was so extinct! I am currently looking for a job and you really need a printer for resumes, cover letters,etc...and I am tired of trecking off to the library. Thanks again. Ray

Can anyone recommend a solid, cheap mono laser printer that will work with Mac OS X?

I'm currently looking for a cheap, no-frills printer. So far, most are incompatible with Mac OS X or are too expensive to buy and run.
Does anybody have any recommendations?
Thanks!

I've been interested in this for some time and it all seems rather difficult. I had a Samsung ML-1610 mono laser before I bought my iMac three years ago. It worked fine with a Windows 98 laptop and was cheap and I think a bit of an out of date model then. When I bought the Mac one thing that worried me was - would the printer work? Discovered ML-1610 is not Mac compatible at all (officially). Searching for some time found various suggestions to make it work. The simplest was to download driver for ML-1710 and yes it DID work and still does. I even bought a replacement toner cartridge. Samsung mono laser printers are very good value but seem to be NOT very Mac friendly, even the models that are Mac compatible. It is too risky to get involved with models that are not on the Mac drivers list. Also not too happy about models that have Gutenprint or CUPS drivers. Yes, I believe Brother is quite Mac friendly, don't know how cheap. Mac showrooms don't have cheap mono laser printers, the style just isn't right, but they are great. I would never go back to an inkjet.

My iPhone 3 with 6.01 wont sync music from my computer. The new iTunes software seems to be missing tabs like DEVICES that other folks mention. What up?

Yesterday, I updated (6.01) both my phone and my computer's iTunes at the same time. I was thinking that was iTunes v11, but maybe it was 10.5, didn't pay close enought attention. All the music was removed from the phone's iPod, and all of the music extracted from my CDs onto iTunes went away as well, although the purchased music stayed. Unplugging and resynching from the computer did not cause the music to re load on the phone. From reading various other discussions, I think that I am missing several tabs from the iTunes header, specifically "Devices". One fellow mentioned Devices/Music/SyncMusic as a fix, but after several minutes of searching for hidden buttons, there just isn't one on my iTunes. Help!!

Ctrl + B puts the top menu in place.
View > Show Sidebar the devices when connected appear in the left hand window.
Select your device and on the right hand side selecth the music page option. Tick Sync Music and then either sync it all if you have space or sync selected playlists etc.
Select the Artists, Playlist, Albums Genre's you want and click apply bottom right

How can I re-download 3.6 or latest version that actually works on Mac OS 10.4.11. I replaced Firefox I had (per Firefox's invitation) with 4.0 which apparently won't run on my OS.

I believe I was previously running 3.6, I was able to find a dmg for 3.0.9 and install that, but I'd like to update to the lastest version that will run on my OS 10.4.11. Can't find that option on the website. Thanks!

You can get Firefox 3.6.16 here: <br />
