PocketMac Pro vs. iSync vs. Blackberry--No one wins!

After using a Treo 600 flawlessly for two years between platforms (Windows and Mac) as my syncing tool and having very few errors, problems or conflicts, I had to convert to a Blackberry for work. I saw that there was some problems using PocketMac Pro as my Mac syncing conduit but after using it for a week, it has been a complete disaster and no one there at their company will answer back my emails for support.
My goal is to have the BB connect to both the WIndows Machine (using Outlook connected to corporate server) and my various Apple machines (all in sync via .Mac and iSync) to keep data for both the calendar and contacts current between both platforms. (Tasks and Memos are less important, and plus, PocketPro completely screwed up the Memos to Stickies syncing.)
As I mentioned above, Palm Treo 600 did this great. I have search around and do not see any other third party App other than PocketMac Pro for the BB.
Today, I thought about using some web based system--seems like every one is moving either to Plaxo or Cardscan (Accucard). I have looked at both sites and they do not support anything other than Windows.
I am out ideas . . .does any one know something else to try? Right now it seems that I will have to manually keep two data bases current between Windows (Outlook Server) and Mac.
PS: If I switch to Entourage on Mac, does any one have experience using a BB via PocketMac and know if this is will work better. I have dreaded the move to Entourage if for no other reason, to have to change.

Hello: I have the "HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer model N911g" and read in the manual that it comes with Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software. I can't find any OCR software on the accompanying optial disk "HP Officejet pro 8600 series, Windows XP, VIsta, 7, 8 version 28.8".
I'm using an HP Pavilion dv7 laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium ver 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 build 7601.
I found an entry in All Programs called I.R.I.S. registration but can't figure out what to do with it. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

My keyboard on macbook pro (laptop) is acting weird. One key is not responding at all. Have verified using Keyboard viewer and some other keys are printing the unresponsive character at random.

my keyboard on macbook pro (laptop) is acting weird. One key is not responding at all. Have verified using Keyboard viewer and some other keys are printing the unresponsive character at random. "z" is the unresponsive character.
Is it a damaged keyboard ?
The laptop is just 2 months old, will Apple replace it with a new one if its indeed a damaged keyboard or just repair, I use it for official purposes so being without a laptop is not much of an option.

No one here works for Apple, so we don't know what Apple might or might not do. If it's a genuine defect, they will of course repair it under warranty. It is not their responsibility if it effects your ability to work or not, so that's on you.
If, however, they determine that the key is problematic as a result of your misuse of the laptop, then everything is on you. And trust me, if they find a glob of dried up beer or coffee there, they will charge you.
Your only choice is to take it in for repair.

My hard drive crashed on my macbook pro and I had a new one installed and they were unable to get my pictures off of it. Is there anyone who could help? I'm going to lose all my memories of my kids! I got my old hard drive

My hard drive crashed on my macbook pro so i had a new one installed and they couldn't get my pictures off. I dont want to lose all my memories! They gave me back my old hard drive. Is there anyone that could help me?

I think how you understand the value of having backups. All you can do is:
General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as MAC Data Recovery, Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive. Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk. Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Recovery software usually provide trial versions that enable you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond this or if the drive has completely failed, then you would need to send the drive to a recovery service which is very expensive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.
You will need an external enclosure for the old drive so you can connect it to the computer in order to try the recovery software before you buy it. But if they don't work then you will need to send the drive to a recovery service such as Drive Savers.

After i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it

after i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it to play the next song. Or put it in the UP NEXT.

First, make sure these items have checkmarks next to their names in iTunes. Continuous playback only works on checked items. Itunes will play all checked items in a list whether or not they're from the same album.
If you see that nothing in your library is checked and you want to check everything, hold down Ctrl while checking an item. This checks everything.
Next, fixing the "1 of 1" problem is easily. Select all the tracks that make up the book/album. Let's say there are 15. Press Ctrl-I. Doublecheck that the album box is filled in with the name of the book, and if not, type it there. Enter "15" in the box for the total number of tracks. Click OK. Now all the items should be "1 of 15," "2 of 15," and so on.

Hi. You are on the proper board! Unfortunately to fix the account mis-match issue you are having you will need to share personal information. To protect your identify and the security of your account I will private message you with what HP will need in order to get your Snapfish/HP Connected accounts synced up so you can use the web services!

HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus e-All-in-One (A901g)

I'm thinking about getting a MacBook...would the "HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus e-All-in-One (A901g)" work well with this and for what i need?
I need an All-in-One...I have an iPhone, so I would like the Air-Print feature...and since I might be getting the MacBook, I would like a printer that is wireless. I also want something that is good for printing quality pictures.
It appears this printer has everything i am looking for, but it doesnt say anything about being wireless...does anyone know if it is or not?? if not, can anyone recommend a printer for what i am looking for?
thanks

Also is this printer quiet? I am considering this for a library setting, and don't need a noisy printer! Thanks.

Officejet pro 8600 plus e-all-in-one color managment problem.

please help, I'm a photographer and I own officejet pro 8600 plus e-all-in-one printer. I want to print my photos using this printer, but it never print them right, so I bought Colormunki photo to calibrate my monitor and my printer and match them together. The problem is I can't control the printer color management !!! I want to disable it, so I can use the printer profile in Photoshop or other applications to get the right prints. my prints are darker when I set the color management to be handled by the application, or I make the printer handle it but I will end up with wrong colors. I really really need to change the profile of the printer. how ?????? otherwise I really have no use of it in my work.

Jassim,
Kudos to you for figuring out how to better control the outcome for what you require.
I have learned something new today. Smiling!
Did you create the new profile manually or add it in from a previously saved setting? Filename / filetype?
It has been a while since I used Photoshop. I am thinking I may take another look at my old favorite.

It would help knowing how the printer is connected to the computer (USB, Ethernet cable, Wifi).

Hope you are doing well ovsc92
Do you have an shapfish.com account?
If this is the case let's merge the 2,
"Do you have another HP account in existence? Normally when someone has this
issue, they have an existing Snapfish HP account.
1. Go to www.snapfish.com and click on ""log in"" at the top right.
2. On the splash screen that comes up click on the ""forgot your password""
link and submit your email.
3. You should receive an email with a link and a temporary password.4. Click on the link and log in with the temp password.
5. Change your password to something that has at least 6 characters (at least 1 of those should be a number).
6. Go back to www.eprintcenter.com and click on Sign In.
7. On the next screen do not put your email or password, but click on the
small Snapfish below.
8. On the splash screen that comes up log in with your email and the password
you just created at Snapfish. This will merge your HP accounts and you should be able to log in to www.eprintcenter.com normally after that."
Let me know the outcome I will do my best to help you.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One - terrible print & scan options

I just purchased an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One an the print options look like they were written by someone from the 1990s. There are no options for lower resolution - only draft, normal, best and no option for black and white - other than grayscale. The print options box is the default box that was originally develped in the 1990s - no kidding. I also tried scanning some items and the box to see the scan is about 5" x 5" and there is absolutely no way possible to see what was scanned. I originally loaded the software using the disk provided witih the printer, but then I went on line and downloaded the "Full" version - which loaded exactly what was on the disk. I can not believe HP is even selling this thing with these types of drivers. I loaded the drivers onto my HP Desktop, running Windows 7 home, 64 bit and my HP laptop running Windows 7 Ultimate, 64 bit. Both HP computers are Intel I7 Quad core computers w/ 9 & 12 Gb of RAM respectively.
What gives? Do I need to return this thing because it certainly does not work properly and is not up to the HP standard we expect - especially for the $300 it costs to buy the thing. I bought this all in one because HP refuses to update the drivers of my older HP scanner to support Windows 7. That scanner showed the preview with a full screen, allowed me to change resolutions of scans, colors, etc.
Has anyone else experienced this type of garbage?

I agree the HP customer services and product services suck. I have an Officejet Pro 8500 and consistently had problems.
I think I'll change to a Cannon printer or another company. It is apparent that HP does not care.
