The last good mouse Apple made? Re: Apple BlueTooth mouse on a MacBook?

Hi.
I am interested in buying an Apple BT wireless mouse (the full sized clear plastic with white base) off eBay or other site since I want an Apple mouse for my MacBook but I don't care for the Mighty Mouse.
I was speaking with another Mac user recently and he said it is not likely to work with my MacBook. Were these mice reliable with the PPC Macs? Will they work with my MacBook?
Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance to all who reply.

Question not answered but I want to get rid of the post in my list.

i try to set To change DHCP to manual and reverse it s the same..

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Assuming this is not the first time you have used your Apple TV
You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Also try restarting the router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
If the problem persists, try a restore, you may want to try the previous procedures several times before doing this.
If restoring from the Apple TV doesn't help, try restoring from iTunes using a USB cable.
If this is a new Apple TV, in addition to trying the above, it may also be that your network router is not allowing access to the timeserver, check that your router allows access over port 123.

HT1143 I synced my original Apple TV with my MacBook Pro which was stolen. I now want to get the tunes on my Apple TV to my new macbook pro. Is that possible?

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are referring to the first generation Apple TV, then you cannot sync content which is stored on its hard drive back to iTunes.

Making a small change to an old project - How do I know what versions of Drivers and RIO etc was used for the last good build?

If I want to make a small change to a legacy project of years ago, I want to limit my risk by using the exact same versions of LabVIEW, NI-RIO etc. So I check out the project from the repo, but I don't know how to check what versions were used when the last know good build was made. I don't want to introduce issues by mass-recompiling to the latest version.
What is best practice in this case? I could, before every repo commit, take a screenshot of MAX's software tree and save this in the project folder.
Any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The report is a great idea! I store both a max technical report and a project.NCE (HW config export) with each of my projects for this exact reason. Those files have sure come in handy!
Also- its a good idea to make an image of the target as accepted and archive it somewhere. ESPECIALLY for PXI based systems from NI. (When the customer comes back for a "duplicate" just send the image with the PO and the system arrives fully configured)

HT202157 since the last update to apple tv 5.2 my screen is out of sync, i have never had this problem so I am guessing this is a a 5.2 issue

Since I update to the Apple TV 5.2 my screen is out of sync so that the images look miss colored and there are artifacts appearing on my screen and when I move to different screens I can see delayed redraws that leave artifacts on the screen

Welcome to the Apple Community.
No that's not a problem that has been reported with 5.2, it appears specific to you.
Try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general.

What is the life of an Apple bluetooth keyboard

I.have.had.a.27ins.iMac.since.2009...the.keyboard.now,.has.several.faulty.keys.. .....(inc.the.space.bar)...
How.long.should.it.last.....no.spills.no.other.problems.
iMac/.27ins.2009.Snow.Leopard

That's around the same length of time I have had mine. I have now gone through all the solutions posted around the Net and still have non-functioning keys.
I don't know what else I can do except buy a new keyboard, but that seems a pretty poor solution to a problem which really should not arise in only three years of use - and no abuse from me. I wonder whether the Sale of Goods Act is applicable - one should be able to rely on a product functioning for a decent length of time. What that is in this case is probably open to many interpretations.
Apple products are not, it seems to me, above reproach. But,as they are, in my opinion, streets ahead of any others then I shall stick with it. Unfortunately I cannot afford to buy another Apple keyboard so will have to get by with a wired microsoft one for now, although it goes against the grain.
It seems a shame that, although this problem has been around for a while, Apple does not seem able - or willing - to solve it.
Either it is a hardware or a software problem and until it can be identified I am left wambling around in the dark - not a happy place to be.

What's a good non-Apple monitor for my 13" MacBook Pro? Looking around 20-23 inches, preferably LED.

I have a 13" MacBook Pro and I'm in the market for a non-Apple monitor (Apple monitors are way out of my price range). I'm looking for 20-23 inch monitor, preferably LED. I need it to edit articles for publication and for Bar Exam studying in the next year. What brands have shown to have good compatibility with Mac? Do I need an adapter of some sort?

You'll need an adapter cable, and which one you need depends on what version MBP you have and the inputs on the monitor.
I just recently purchased a Dell U2410 to use as a second display with my iMac. Overall I'm pretty happy with but my use is a little different, I wanted something with very good color accuracy for photo work. Based on what you said your needs are, you probably don't have to spend as much.
One thing I will say, is this particular monitor (and I believe all Dells) has an antiglare screen on it, which to be honest, took me a little getting used to. Because of the matte surface, text and documents aren't quite as sharp and can even look a little hazy at times. For your uses you may be better off with a glossy screen as long as glare isn't going to be too much an issue for you.
BenQ makes some pretty nice and affordable monitors these days LED backlit or otherwise, and on that note, theres absolutely nothing at all wrong with non "LED" monitors, both technologies are still using an LCD panel for the display, they just deal with the backlighting differently.
As the other poster mentioned, NEC is always a good option as well. Less common on the consumer side, but they make very good professional products.

Why can't I use the spacebar on my Apple bluetooth keyboard to wake my iMac?

I'm pretty sure I was able to use Apple's Bluetooth keyboard to wake the machine before. The only solution I have so far is use the power button on the back of the iMac to wake it and worse, not letting the hard drive sleep in the first place. Neither of these options suit me very well. Anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks!!

Hi iNstaPro,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iMac isn't waking from sleep reliably, I'd try these steps from our display troubleshooting article:
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.

HT4628 After installing the new OS from apple (10.8.2) my macbook pro keeps disconnecting from the internet. I am connecting with an Airport Extreme and while it shows I am connected, every 20-45 seconds its searching for a wireless connection. Any sugg

I guess I posted my question as a title but that is my issue. My airport is connected via wireless yet it keeps searching for a wireless connection, hence I am experiencing bad latency and disconnection issues. Anyone know a solution?

I have the same problem. And in my case it happens when i transfer "large" files over the WiFi. When i send an MP3 filer over Skype i loose connection. When i transfer updates between my iPhone 5 / iPad 3 and iMac with Mountain Lion i loose connection. When i have a video conference i loose connection. You get the idea.
There is usually like 30 people using their own router on the 2.4 GHz band near by. None on the 5 GHz band which i use. But when my WiFi freezes on ML i can only see my own router. And i am also connected to it. But all my neighbors WiFi routers are now invisble to me. My network stalled.
What i do is that i disconnect my WiFi and then reconnect it again. Thank fixes it. But all my transfers and what not has been dropped. And i have to start all over - and the WiFi will stall again.
While my WiFi is frozen on the iMac with ML i have no problem using the same router on the same 5 GHz band with my iPhone 5 or iPad 3.
Downgrading the AirPort Extreme to 7.6.1 from 7.6.3 helped a bit. Now i only loose connection a few times each day.
It is a software error in ML i am sure of. A driver maybe. But i am suspecting that it is either a speed-sync error or an energy saving error. Like the network card turns of in the middle of a file transfer to save enrgy - maybe.
When i stream movies from my iMac to my Apple TV or 3 there is no problem at all. It is so odd.

Syncing artists alphabetically by last name on Apple TV

Until I updated my Apple TV software all my music artists would be displayed alphabetically by last name according to the sort on iTunes. Since the update most, but not all artists, are synced with iTunes. The exceptions are displayed on Apple TV alphabetically by first name, for example Aimee Mann is displayed under “A” instead of “M” although it is displayed in iTunes under “M”. Despite repeated attempts to sort the artist by last name in iTunes it is still not displayed by the last name on Apple TV. I would estimate that about 5% of my artists are not synced on Apple TV by their last name. Before the Apple TV update all artists were displayed by last name. Is there something I can do beyond restoring my Apple TV to the original factory settings?

With the most recent Apple TV update this problem was resolved.

Just the phone thru apple bluetooth headset? No BT for the iphone's ipod?

Does anyone know how I can hear the ipod option of the iphone thru my apple bluetooth headset? It comes on briefly when swithing to the phone, but I don't know how to make it stay on.

just learned I can turn on BT in the voicemail screen, and then sound comes over my apple bluetooth headset but sound also comes out of the iphone's speaker. Any ideas how to turn of the speaker?

When I transferred the info from an old ipod, broken, to a new one the contacts I received were from all over the place, many whom I did not even know. Can I only restore from the last sync or can I go back further to get my old contacts?

I recently had to replace my ipod touch. The old one had a broken button and would not change the screen correctly. Apple gave me a new ipod and told me all I needed to do was update the new ipod from the itunes which I had backed up prior to getting the new one. When I did the sync , the info for my contacts was giving me names and addresses from all over the place except the itunes. Can I retrieve info from a previous sync or only to the last sync that was made?

Yes I did. When installing the new ipod it had to update the software, then it sync'ed the information onto the new ipod. The contacts were not the original ones, and all the phone numbers have dissappeared. Is there any way to recover them?

Changing name of Apple bluetooth keyboard?

Well, I actually have a macbook, but I figure there are more out there using the keyboard with their iMacs rather than notebook since I couldn't find an exact place to post this
Hi all,
I have an Apple bluetooth keyboard for my macbook pro. I got it a while ago and remember that a friend of mine had used it with his macbook once just to try it out. I haven't used the keyboard for some months and decided to start using it again recently, however, every time I turn it on, it is recognized as "John Smith's keyboard" rather than my name. I'm rather annoyed since it's always been my keyboard! I'm browsing around and can't seem to figure out how to change the name of the keyboard. Help please?

Apple Bluetooth keyboard connection hangs

Hopefully someone has an answer for this: just in the past few days the connection to my Apple Bluetooth keyboard has started to hang.
These are the symptoms: I try to connect it through the Bluetooth Setup Assistant. I can get as far as inputing the pass key and hitting "return", then I get the "congratulations, your device is connected" message. Then immediately after that my connection is lost, and I can no longer input through the keyboard. It's still recognized through the Menu Bar and System Preferences, though.
Battery life is not a problem; System Preferences shows 3 bars. Replacing w/ fresh batteries hasn't helped, either. I've tried both the "enter" and "return" keys after entering the pass key; no dice. I've also tried deleting the device out of System Preferences starting fresh -- again, no results.
This keyboard has been fine all year; my wireless Mighty Mouse is working fine right now. Any ideas? -- Thanks in advance
