Recommendations for desktop set

Years ago I had a Logitech Laser M5300 wireless keyboard and mouse set for my iMac, which I later used with my MBP 13" and sold with it in 2010.
I just got a new Corei5 Mini and like a fool, I got a "Mighty Mouse" with it.
It wasn't so mighty... completely failing last week. It now occupies a comfy spot in the local landfill beneath tons of garbage and dirt.
I'm looking at a Logitech rechargable track pad http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/mac-trackpad?crid=1488 and solar keyboard http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/wireless-solar-keyboard-k750-mac?crid=1489.
Anyone used either or both of these?
Anyone recommend anything else and why?

Well almost any mouse will work with the mac mini to be honest just like a pc...only if it needs drivers, you will have to contact the manufacturer and ask them if there is a mac version of the software.
I have always personally been a fan of Razer product. Me being a gamer and all haha. Durable, functional, responsive. Look at a DeathAdder and a keyboard of your choice. Good brand.
If you are looking at logitech, i have never really used any of their mice apart from a 10 dollar cheap-o at the supermarket. Mainly because i don't have time for cheap plastic things.
Let me know what you think.

Which usb 3 hub recommended for desktop?

which is the best usb 3 hub recommended for desktop?

I have a Sonnet PCi USB3 card for my MacPro, and a Sonnet USB3 Express Card 34 for my MacBookPro, and they work properly on Lion 10.7.4. However, when I use a powered four-plug USB 3 hub, the card reader that worked directly to the Sonnet cards, now is not detected when used through the hub. I think that what I need is a Hub Driver that works with Lion 10.7.4...
I would suggest contacting Sonnet directly with that question. I spent over a year with their PCIe card trying to get it to work reliably in two Mac Pro's with 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8 and never succeeded because of the drivers, which are really modified LaCie drivers. Switching to a CalDigit card solved the problem. I don't use hubs so I don't know if the CalDigit would work with them, but I suspect that adding a USB 3.0 hub to the mix would only make shaky (in my experience at least) drivers even shakier.

Trying to set up AV server on mini late 2012. Will upgrade to Yosemite tomorrow. Home Internewt is ATT Sierra mobile hotspot only. So I think I need a wifi router that will tether the hotspot as sole internet source. Recommendation for system set

My system: Mac Mini late 2012 w/ 1 TB disk and *GB memory (for AV server), iPad air 2 w/ 64 GB, iPad, iPad 2, iPhone 6, iPhone 4, Macbook running Yosemite, older Macboo w/ 2GB memory & 160 GB hard drive, 1 TB back up drive, WiFi Printer
Internet: Wireless hotspot ATT 4G LTE limited to 5 GB/mo (no cable or DSL available. Router to be determined
AV equip: Vizio smart TV (WiFi capable & network cable), high end analog audio, DAC, Samsung TV/display w/ HDMI.
Looking for a router recommendation that will utilize my ATT device and stream music (and of course less demanding DATA)
What is/are recommended connection(s) between devices? Hardwire Mini to main TV w/ HDMI, network or USB? Help?

Another way to set things up, use an Apple Airport Extreme Basestation.
My system setup has a cable modem directly connected to the AEBS.
The AEBS is then setup to do all of the network management, I use
both hardwired and WiFi access via the AEBS. It also has a USB port
that you can use for attaching HDDs for common data access and even
Time Machine backups.
FWIW, here's my system:
2011 MiniServer used as HTPC - hardwired ethernet to AEBS
2010 Mini used as server - hardwired ethernet to AEBS
(these are hardwired simply because of proximity to AEBS but could be WIFi connected)
Late 2013 27" iMac workstation- hardwired or WIFi depending on needs
Early 2011 Macbook Pro - WiFi connected
iPhone 5S - WiFi connected as needed
The 2010 Mini Server I use as my "iTunes hub" set up with Home Sharing and
by running Server on it, have Apple download caching of both Mac and iOS
apps, Time Machine backups and general backups for various content from
the different computers.

BlackBerry Desktop software recommendations for improvement

BlackBerry Desktop software recommendations for improvement
Recommendation:
1, increase SMS and MMS module
2, the SMS and MMS module to connect to the BlackBerry via Bluetooth

While I love my BlackBerry Curve phone (and will most likely never go back to a phone running Windows Mobile OS), something that drives me absolutely crazy is the inability of the Desktop Manager software to monitor my activity in the Outlook client and autosync changes while my phone is connected via USB.

I have Mac OSX Lion 10.7.4, Quickbooks Pro 2010, Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac, Operating in Windows 7. Are there any recommendations for running Quickbooks Pro 2010?

I have Mac OSX Lion 10.7.4, Quickbooks Pro 2010, Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac, Operating in Windows 7. Quicbooks Pro 2010 is not responding or opening currently. Quickbooks does not support Parallels anymore. I hear Apple Bootcamp is an opton. Are there any recommendations for running Quickbooks Pro 2010 on Mac?

QuickBooks Pro 2010 for Mac is not supported in Lion. QB Pro 2011 will work, but I just got an email today that 2011 will not be updated to work in Mountain Lion. QB Pro 2012 will be updated for ML.
Be aware that the Mac version of QuickBooks is shamefully lacking in features compared to the Windows version. I do use the Mac version, but it has more features than I need for a small business, so it doesn't affect me. No one knows why Intuit seems to hate Mac users, but they show it every day.
If QB Pro 2012 for Mac can be downloaded as a demo, I would strongly suggest testing with it before making a final decision. You will be able to import the Windows data, but possibly not all of it, depending on the Windows version features you use.
Boot Camp allows you to install Windows on its own, bootable partition. When you boot to it, you are of course running Windows in every sense of the word. Just on Mac hardware rather than typical PC gear. Your Windows version of QB will work there without issue. The problem is having to boot back and forth between Windows and OS X, depending on what software it is you need to use at the time.

Recommendation for IP MTU setting with DMVPN

I have a dual DMVPN setup which works fine, apart from a performance issue. Its probable that this is a packet fragmentation issue as I'm seeing many reassambled fragments on my encryption routers. The IP MTU value on the tunnel is 1436, as recommend by R Deal in his VPN configuration guide. If I remove the IP MTU 1436 command, and let IOS select its own value that returns 1472 for IP MTU.
Reading up on Cisco.com various values are mentioned, 1400, and 1440. As this is a production network under change control I'm after recommendations from other working networks, to get this fixed.
I'm also using MSS adjustment for TCP setting a value of 1360, and have a route-map to clear the DF bit in TCP and UDP frames.
I'm using IPSec transport mode, and there are no NAT boundaries for the IPSec to cross.

Hello aacole,
Although I don't have a problem with MTU as such, performance is an issue. I believe this can be improved by tuning MTU configuration even if it's a little bit. Did you manage to reach optimal working figures and settings for MTU on DMVPN?

Looking for a Splash screen for desktop login

Thats it, I have been looking for a splash screen application that can make a splash appear since my login begins with SLIM and that disappears once all startup applications have been loaded.
I tried plymouth, but I think it cannot be used for this purpose.
Any recommendation for this? Thanks.

Do you mean you want a splash screen from the time when you complete logging in with Slim to the time the desktop has finished loading? If that is taking more than just a few seconds then I suggest you change desktops to something lighterweight. Mine takes about 2 seconds (wmii) - not even enough time for a splash scree!. Are you using KDE or Gnome because I believe you can set a startup splash with both those DE's . Check their documentation. Also, show us your ~/.xinitrc .

DW CC Fluid grid layout how to change px width for desktop layout

Hi there,
I have been going through the various tutorials about fluid grid layout and setting up our bureau's website in a responsive layout.
The width of the original design was 960 px and the hero pic and others have been exported at that size.
The first divs in the design look fine, header with the 960 px pic in it, and also the BC menu which is set to 960 wide.
However the body text goes out to the right, past the 960 px and this is because, right at the start, when starting the file in DW the desktop screen width is set to 1232px.
How can you change this setting when starting a new fluid grid layout?
I have tried changing the number of columns, or the percentage, and the width for desktop remains at 1232px.
Why is this?
Not all of our clients want a site 1232px wide on a pc.
Thanks so much.

Hi Ben and Nancy,
Thanks for your replies, but maybe you both don't realise I am asking specifically about DW CC and setting up a responsive design using a fluid grid layout?
I have been following the recent videos from Adobe on this.
As far as the width of 960 goes, Nancy I am only shortchanging myself, as this is the website for our agency. The original design is 960px wide as I did read somewhere that this width is recommended now that responsive is coming, as it is easily divided into a grid layout. I also am quoting for a client at the moment who wants a responsive design for their website, and they have specifically requested that the site have a maximum width of 960 px. So I would like to find out if this is possible in DW CC at the moment when doing a fluid grid layout.
So what I am trying to do here is follow the Adobe tutorials on responsive design, using DW CC and I am using the current design for our agency website as a trial to set this up and try and get it working as a responsive website.
It does not seem to me that many other people are doing this, as most people are recommending that I try Github or Bootstrap.
However, I am not a coder and I am used to using DW, so I would like to get the DW CC responsive design features working if possible.
Ben the CSS you are looking at is being generated by DW CC as I follow the steps in the Adobe demonstration videos to set up a fluid grid layout in DW CC.
One of the things they say in the videos is that you can't program the CSS directly when doing a fluid grid layout, or you break the CSS and it all stops working. So I am using the new panels in DW CC to set up the layout. One thing I cannot get access to is the ability to set a maximum width for the site. It seems to be set in concrete when you start the fluid design up in DW CC.
Here is a pic of the screen I am talking about that sets the maximum width:
I cannot click in the pixel width at the top and change it. Also if I adjust the number of gridlines or the percentage for the pc layout, the default maximum pixel width does not change.
If you click on the preferences button and go into the Window sizes screen, there does not seem to be a way to set the maximum pc width here either, so I am a bit stumped.
Maybe I just have say to my clients that if you want a responsive design then the max width for pc can only be 1232px? It does seem strange to me that this cannot be changed.

Recommendations for the best i7 L3 8GB Laptop to buy?

Can someone tell me what the best Laptop to buy with the following specifications:
i7 L3 8GB (or more)
I need something that will last for five years, and run Dragon.
Thanks!

Thank you for your quick reply. The "Knowbrainer website" has the following laptop recommendation for the best performance of the Dragon Naturally Speaking program. I looked through the Best Buy options--there are quite a few that offer what is recommended below. So which of the Best Buy options (that meet the specs below) should I buy? The specs, according to "Knowbrainer" are:
1. Core™ i7 Ivy Bridge with four cores and hyperthreading (eight threads). In other words, go with the highest Core™ i7 Ivy Bridge you can find as far as speed, number of cores, L3 cache, etc.
2. Look for at least 8 GB of RAM and preferably 16 GB of RAM. The reason for this is that there are going to be a lot of changes to the size and number of 64-bit applications over the next few years. 8 GB might do you just fine right now, but if you're going to go for five years with this laptop, then you're better off going with 16 GB of RAM looking down the road.
it's the processor, the amount of L3 cache and the RAM that form the core.
The bottom line: take into consideration that the computer needs to run both Windows 8 and DNS 12, and looking down the road to possibly DNS 13. Also, keep in mind that it's a given that whatever you're going to purchase now is going to be out of date inside of nine months. You just can't win at the rate that technology is advancing. Also, sometime next year Intel is going to introduce a whole new set of processors for both desktops and laptops that will raise the bar on performance. It's the game we play with hardware and Dragon.
Thanks!

Recommendations for external hd for Time Machine backups

After having my 1TB G-Tech G-Drive Q desktop external h.d. crap out on me for a second or third time, this time for good, I give up on G-Tech. (I also had a faulty 500GB G-Tech portable which had to be replaced.)
For many reasons, my iMac's Time Machine backups have to be stored on an external hard drive. Two or three times, the external h.d. has become corrupted or something and has had to be reformatted, losing all the previous backups and starting all over again. This time, since the external h.d. is toast, I have no backups at all.
My MAIN question: Do any of you have a recommendation for an external hard drive - probably desktop, but not necessarily - preferably 1TB - which is RELIABLE?
Is this h.d. corruption/repeated failure a function of Time Machine? The hard drive itself?
What good is Time Machine if we lose backups all the time?

Sorry to butt in, but I'm on the lookout for a solution to make a secondary, offsite back-up of my company's data. I was also looking at the usage of external hard disk for the purpose but am stumbling at a very basic question.
If the first disk(say 1TB) runs out of space and I connect a new hard-disk, wouldn't Time Machine back up all the stuff previously backed up, all over again on the new disk?
Exactly. Bt you're talking about two very different things: secondary backups vs. not enough room for primary backups.
The whole point of secondary backups is having a second, separate set, so if something happens to the primary set (lost, corrupted, disk fails, etc.), you have another complete set. As noted in the link in my previous post, it's also a good idea to use a different app for the secondary set, in case there's a problem with the primary app.
If your Time Machine disk gets full, you have three choices:
Let Time Machine start deleting old backup(s) automatically, to make room for new ones. You don't need to keep them forever -- a few months should be plenty for most users.
Get a new disk and start backing-up to it. Keep the old one "on the shelf" until you're sure you don't need the old backups any longer. You can always view and restore from them via the +*Browse ...+* option, per #17 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
Get a larger disk, copy the old backups to it, and continue backing-up to the new one. See #18 in the FAQ.

Recommendations for hard drive enclosures

Hi,
My G5 1.8ghz Dual Power Mac finally died today after eight years good service. I'm looking to remove the hard drive and wondered if anybody had any recommendations for enclosures that I could put it in? Is there anything I need to bear in mind when buying the enclosure or are they all pretty standard?
I've already purchased a new iMac as a replacement computer - I just want to be able to access the data in the old hard drive.
Thanks in advance

After going through several, I can only recommend those from OWC (Kappy's last link). I just stripped down a Western Digital Sudio Mac Edition external with a quad interface i bought seveal years ago to recover the bare drive becasue the enclosure's been nothing but a royal PITA.
The drive itself is fine but the enclosure uses a very Mac-unfriendly set of hardware that has sleep issues, lock-up issues, noise issues, won't properly mount to the Desktop, runs hot, and so on. Until I get a new OWC enclosure for the bare WD drive, I moved an older OWC external to take over the backup functions and it works like a dream. And it has a slower interface (FireWire400) but takes little longer to backup than the WD with FW800.
WD makes great internal drives--we have many in our menagerie of Macs--but their enclosures are just cheap and not Mac-friendly, even though I bought the "Mac Edition" version.

Wireless Desktop Set

Has anyone used this wireless setup before and if so, how does it work?
I'm getting sorta ****** off at the MS wireless setup I have, the mouse pointer always be jerky using it. It's getting to the point that I don't want to use it much.

Before you splash out on a new keyboard/mouse, you may find the issues you have with your present one are possible to resolve with a small amount of jiggling locations. For example, if you can move the location of the cordless receiver, you will likely find a position where the signal it picks up is better.
Other than that, due to the frequencies in use and the limitations in power, there is little to choose between different brands and models of cordless keyboards and mice in terms of effective range, and while it may be that the Kensington model you link to is recommended by many, the only way to know if it will help in your situation, with whatever range and potential interference issues you have, is really by trying it yourself.
