Whats a good mouse for mac other then a mighty mouse?

cause i've been though afew mighty mouses and i'm kinda getting tired of them breaking no matter what I do I can't get it to scroll up or to scroll left.
and i've tried cleaning it didn't work so just going to get another mouse for it.
what is a good alternative mouse for mac.
around 50-75$?
thats the only problem i've had out of apple is the mice they sell aren't as good as everything else they sell.

Hi, 
Apple mice have always been awful; I only ever liked the +ADB Mouse II+.
I'm very happy with my Microsoft Intellimouse Optical six years on. The five buttons work really well with Dashboard, Exposé (and Spaces) and worked just as well back in OS9. The cable is also a decent length. I've also got a wireless version (1000) in grey/white with just three buttons, although the transceiver is quite chunky.
Here's a five button Bluetooth version (link) that I've got my eye on at the moment.
cheers

  • Is there any good downloader for mac ?? :)

    what is good downloader for mac? where can i get it?

    Macs actually already have a downloader. When you click a download link in a web browser, the file will download. To your Downloads folder. It's really straightforward.

  • What updates are available for Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L30)?

    What updates are available for Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L30)?

    Before embarking on a major OS upgrade, it would be wise, advisable and very prudent if you backup your current system to an external connected and Mac formatted Flash drive OR externally connected USB, Thunderbolt or FireWire 800, Mac formatted hard drive. Then, use either OS X Time Machine app to backup your entire system to the external drive OR purchase, install and use a data cloning app, like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper, to make an exact and bootable copy (clone) of your entire Mac's internal hard drive. This step is really needed in case something goes wrong with the install of the new OS or you simply do not like the new OS, you have a very easy way/procedure to return your Mac to its former working state.
    Then, determine if your Mac meets ALL minimum system install requirements.
    Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard system requirements
    Purchased Installer disc here. 
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    To install Snow Leopard for the first time, you must have a Mac with:
    An Intel processor
    An internal or external DVD drive, or DVD or CD Sharing
    At least 1 GB of RAM (additional RAM is recommended)
    A built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
    At least 5 GB of disk space available, or 7 GB of disk space if you install the developer tools
    Installing and updating OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard to OS X 10.6.8 gives your Mac access to the Mac App Store where you can decide which version of OS X to upgrade to, again, if you desire.
    OS X Lion system requirements
    Purchased emailed download code here.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    To use Lion, make sure your computer has the following:
    An Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    Mac OS X v10.6.6 or later to install via the Mac App Store (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7 GB of available disk space
    2 GB of RAM
    To install OS X  10.8 Mountain Lion or OS X 10.10 Yosemite.you need one of these Macs:
    OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion purchased emailed download code here.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6377Z/A/os-x-mountain-lion
    iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
    MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
    MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    Your Mac also needs:
    OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (I strongly advise, at least, 4 GBs of RAM or more)
    8 GB or more of available space.
    Your year and model Mac can take a total of 6 GBs of RAM, max..
    I strongly suggest you install the max. RAM your Mac can take.
    Correct, compatible and reliable Mac RAM can ONLY be purchased from online RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (macsales.com).
    OWC is the only source for the  6 GB RAM kit.
    Next,
    If you run any older Mac software from the earlier PowerPC Macs, then none of this software will work with the newer OS X versions (10.7 and onward). OS X Snow Leopard had a magical and invisible PowerPC emulation application, called Rosetta, that worked seamlessly in the background that still allowed older PowerPC coded software to still operate in a Intel CPU Mac.
    The use of Rosetta ended with OS X Snow Leopard as the Rosetta application was licensed to Apple, from a software company called Transitive, which got bought out, I believe, by IBM and Appe  could no longer secure their rights to continue to use Rosetta in later versions of OS X.
    So, you would need to check to see if you have software on your Mac that maybe older than, say, 2006 or older.
    Also, check for app compatibilty  here.
    http://roaringapps.com/
    If you have any commercial antivirus installed and/or hard drive cleaning apps installed on your Mac, like MacKeeper, CleanMyMac, TuneUpMyMac, MacCleanse, etc. now would be a good time to completely uninstall this apps by doing a Google search to learn how to properly uninstall these types of apps.
    These types of apps will only cause your Mac issues later after the install of the new OS X version and you will have to completely uninstall these types of apps later.
    Once you have determined all of this, you should be able to find the latest versions of OS X by clicking on the Mac App Store icon in the OS X Dock and then login to the Mac App Store using your Apple ID and password and using the appropriate download codes need
    You can then begin the download and installation process of installing your desired versions of OS X  from the Mac App Store.

  • Can i adjust pressure sensitivity options for tools other then paint brush?

    Greetings all, i'm new to Photoshop elements and this forum, could someone help me with this problem please!!!!!!
    Is there a way to adjust the pressure sensitve options opacity, scatter, hue jitter e.t.c for tools other then the paint brush such as the dodge and burn tool?
    I'm wanting to use the dodge and burn tools with say a chalk brush but set the pressure sensitivity of my tablet to opacity, i can do this for the paint brush by using the tablet options drop down menu but the option doesn't seem to be avaiable for  tools such as the eraser, dodge and burn and smudge tools.
    I've tryed the brushes from the Pressure Sensitive set but there is no chalk brush in the Pressure Sensitive brush set that effects opacity and you can't adjust what settings are effected for each pressure sensitive brush when using tools other then the Paint Brush.
    Can anyone help me with this as i've tryed everything i can think of.

    I guess the easiest way would be to select the paint brush tool
    and using the brush of your choice, set those options you want
    and save the brush.
    Then when you select a tool such as the burn tool, select your brush.
    The one option that won't apply is the hue jitter (you can't use hue jitter or
    color dynamics in the full version of photoshop either for most other tools
    aside from the brush tool)

  • How can I make my apple ID valid for purchases other then the Canadian iTunes Store?

    How can I make my apple ID valid for purchases other then the Canadian iTunes Store? I wanted to download the "Wath abc family" app and it said it had to switch me to the american store because the app isnt available in Canada yet. Once it switched me I put in my apple ID and password and thats when it said that my apple ID is only valid in the canadian store and it switched me back. 
    1)
    2)
    3)

    To make purchases in the Mac App Store/iTunes Store for any particular country, you must be a legal resident of that country and supply a credit card issued by a bank in that country with a verifiable billing address in that country. Do you also make those qualifications in the US?
    But as a side note, as one who has that app, you can only watch both ABC and ABC Family shows if you have an account with a US cable or satelite TV company with which to sign into the app. Otherwise you don't qualify to watch shows with it.

  • What Download Video Program for Mac is as Good as Orbit is for Windows??

    12/29/2008. Friends, I have searched and searched and searched for a video download program for Mac that will download videos from almost any website besides just YouTube and such, but to no avail. The latest OrbitDownloader 2.8.1 for Windows is excellent and will do this for Windows on a PC. What similar download video program for Mac will perform as excellently or almost as good?? I've tried Firefox's Video Downloader Helper but can not get it to work. I've tried Mori but don't know how to get it to work. I've tried Perian but again don't know how to get it to work, I just get a window that says "Uninstall." I will really appreciate finding such a program for Mac, for my iBook G4 which has Leopard OS X 10.5.4 and WiFi. Many thanks. Chuck Y., Chicago

    1/2/2009. Thank you all for your help. I love this wonderful feature I find about Apple Discussion Forums, so many friends. I did not know about Perian's instructions until you informed me. [www.perian.org/#watch] I'm glad that I gave the example of "POV Inheritance," because it is somewhat complex. First a person must locate the POV Inheritance website. For Perian, to go into Windows Activity at that point shows only that line. No one told me that I must click the wee arrow to the left of that line. Then a long drop list appears. But none of those help. So one must return to and on the website click "Watch the streaming video online" or ". . . now." That brings up another sub-website on which a person must click "Watch the Full Film." Then one can choose between five "chapters," and go into Windows Activity again. Then appears "net + public affairs player: video." Then one clicks the small arrow on the left of "net+ public affairs video" and sees 17 selections. All except one are small kbs. One has a large megabyte file. Select and Command + C that, and then go into Windows Downloads and Command + V [paste]. Then the download begins. And the person must do that for each of the five chapters. The other option is not to click any of the "chapters" but instead click "Watch the Full Film," and then click Windows Activity and then the small arrow left of "net + public affairs : video" and on the drop down list appear, among many, the five separate chapter files [the ones with large megabyte files], and continue as per a few lines above. The Perian procedure is simple. Getting to the line to be downloaded, in this case, is more complex, and so a good example from which to learn.
    RealPlayer 11.0.0 [or 11.0.1] and its RealPlayer Downloader work very well too and may be simpler.
    Thank you all and Happy New Year cruising with your Apple Macs. C. Yopst, Chicago

  • What are some good choices for Mac Mini Speakers?

    Hi All....
    I have recently purchased a new Mac Mini (i7 Quad Core 2.3 Ghz) and was wondering what a good choice (and cool choice) for Mac Mini speakers.  I have the Harmon Kardon 2.1 speakers which are EXCELLENT but for some reason I'm having trouble getting it to work with the Mini.  Any suggestions or ways to get the Harmon Kardon's working with it???
    Thanks ahead!!

    Ooops...  Hit the "solved" button by mistake!  hehhee....
    Anyway....  I also have a Mac Pro DualQuadCore2.8Ghz....  Which it works with but for some reason I can't get it to work with the Mini.  I'm temporarily using a small iHome speaker in the 3.5 jack.  I don't think the HK SoundSticks have a 3.5 jack....  Just USB.  But I'm still sorting through a ton of cables, plugs and wires... 

  • Ghost mousing for Mac

    i was wondering if there are any programs such as GhostControl 2.0 for Windows available for MAC machines?
    GhostMouse records system-level mouse events which can then be played back so the computer can execute recorded movements and operate applications on its own.
    i have yet to find a MAC version of this , so if anyone has any info, pls help me.
    thanks in advance .

    It sounds like QuickKeys is what you're looking for.
    However, you might also want to look at what it is you're trying to do, rather than how you're doing it. For example, to choose a menu item, screen recorders might track the mouse moving from point A to point B, clicking, dragging down and then releasing once the desired menu item is highlighted. In contrast, AppleScript lets you do this with something like 'click menu item "Blah" of menu "Blah"' which is much more direct, faster (doesn't need to worry about tracking the mouse), and doesn't interrupt the user's workflow (this can even happen while the target app is in the background and you're working on something else).
    AppleScripts can also handle more logic - perform actions under certain conditions which may or may not be the same as when the original was recorded.
    On the down side, not all applications support rich AppleScript dictionaries (the hooks into their internal commands that are the foundation of good AppleScripts) and in these cases falling back to the screen-based actions might be your only choice.
