Which Mouse Works With the Intel iMac?

My Microsoft mouse will not enable me to program the buttons on the new iMac.
I am aware that STEERMOUSE shareware will do the job for $20. But have any mouse manufacturers upgraded their drivers to the new Universal binary format?

Download SteerMouse; you get to use it for 30 days for free, by which time maybe Logitech or Kensington will have released Universal Binaries for their mice. But I bet by then you'll be happy glad and pleased to pony up the $20. If not just wait a decade or two for MS to come up with a programmable mouse driver for MacIntels: they can't manage to update Windows in a timely fashion, much less write drivers for the competition.

  • Canon Optura 600 - work with the Intel Core Duo?

    I am thinking of investing in a Canon Optura 600 miniDV camcorder. Does anyone know if this will be compatible or not with the new intel range?
    I am planning on buying the 20" iMac later this year, when more software has been ported over, but I want to buy a miniDV camcorder at the moment.
    Does anyone know if this model is compatible?
    Thanks in advance guys!!!
    sunomata.

    I have a Canon Optura 400, and it works just fine
    with my iMac G5. I see no reason why anything in the
    Optura line would not work with the new iMac. I was
    at the Apple Store at the Mall of America the other
    day, and they were giving a demonstration of the new
    iMac (specifically iLife 06), and the presenter was
    demonstrating the use of a Canon MiniDV camera with
    iMovie. I did not notice which model she was using,
    but suffice it to say that Canon has an excellent
    reputation of working well within a Mac environment.
    Thanks very much!
    How do you rate the Optura 400 as a camcorder?
    Do you recommend me buying it?
    I have had my eye on it for a while now and was wondering if that was the best of the affordable Canon range.
    I think I will buy it now, but I was wondering what your thoughts on your camcorder are. Pros? Cons?
    Thanks again,
    sunomata.

  • What usb keyboards are compatible with the Intel iMac

    Please can someone tell me what USB Apple Keybouards are compatable with the intel Imac
    howard

    Some PC keyboards may not work with the Mac. Especially, specialty gaming keyboards will not work with Macs and OS X.  Some PC keyboards are designed to specifically work with newer versions of Windows at that's it!
    They may not even work as a basic keyboard, but not entirely sure.
    I know for a fact specialty gaming keyboards do not work at all on a Mac because there have been posts here from gamers who tried to use special gaming keyboards and mice and they would not function on a Mac.
    If you know anyone with a Mac, ask them if they have a spare Mac keyboard you can try before buying.
    Good Luck!

  • What earlier version of FCP will work with the intel-3processor?

    what earlier version of FCP will work with the intel-3 processor?

    The version of the CR designer that the reports were created in is really not that important. Though more on that below. What you need is Crystal Reports XI R2A (11.5.x). That is the last version of CR to ship the Report Designer Component  (RDC) that you are presumably using at this time. Note that this version is out of support thus no fixes, no phone support, though we welcome your queries on these forums. To obtain CR XI R2A you will have to contact sales; 866-681-3435. Do not get CR 2008 (12.x) as this version does not ship the RDC and only has the SDK for .NET and Java.
    Re. version of the reports. While the version of the designer the reports were created in should not be that important, the older the designer, the more potential problems you may run into. Updating the reports to CR XI R2A is highly advised. You can do this manually by simply opening the reports in the designer and saving them - making sure they still run once that is done. Alternatively, you can do this in code by simply using the .SaveAs method, or exporting to rpt file format. This may not however update the database connectivity correctly (the database engine was completely rewritten in CR 9) and testing will be needed to make sure these reports still work. This is particularly true of your version 8 reports. Version 9 reports and later should be OK.

  • Is there a Window's Media Player download compatible with the INTEL iMacs?

    I tried downloading MWP for Mac OSX and the file name was Windows Media.sitx and I couldnt do anything with that. I also tried downloading Windows Media Components for quicktime but it said it wasnt compatible with intel Macs.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    iMac G5 Intel Core Duo, 1.83GHz, 1GB RAM   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Although Microsoft no longer supports it, WMV9 for OSX works on the intel machine, running under Rosetta. That .sitx file you download can be uncompressed with the free Stuffit Expander for intel:
    http://www.stuffit.com/mac/expander/universalbeta.html
    Or re-download the WM Player as a .bin file from MS directly:
    http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.aspx?pid=download&location=/mac/download/ misc/winmp_osx.xml&secid=80&ssid=8&flgnosysreq=True
    Alternatively, you can download the Popwire components for intel Mac, which allow WMV files to play in native Quicktime (7.0.4 and below only) or Flip4Mac, which will do the same, although only by running your Quicktime Player in Rosetta, as F4M has not released a universal version as of yet.

  • HT201401 Speakers will not work after updating iPhone 4 to iOS.  Apple Store said there are no speakers available which will work with the iOS6.  Does anyone know where to get speakers which will work with iOS6?

    After updating my iPhone4 to iOS6 my speakers do not work.  The Apple store after troubleshooting said that none of the speakers they sell will work with iOS6.  Does anyone have any suggestions for obtaining speakers which will work with iOS6?

    That's a bunch of hogwash.  My 4S is running iOS 6 and works with all my external speakers, both at home and at work.

  • Anyone have OpenOffice 2.0.2 working with their Intel iMac?

    I'm a new Mac user so it very well may be I'm doing something wrong. I downloaded 3 different flavors of the latest OpenOffice that say they work on the Intel Mac platform, but so far no luck. As far as I can tell, X11User is installed properly. When I try running OpenOffice, it shows for a few seconds in the Dock, then goes away. There are no error messages, so I have no idea what is going wrong. If someone has this working, please post the link to the build you are using and any installation / operation hints you might have.

  • Does the new Macbook Pro 13 2011 work with the Intel SSD?

    I've been trying to upgrade my macbook pro to an ssd (using stock original 5400 rpm 320 gb HDD) but so far I've been reading for like 2-3 hrs and came to a conclusion. Intel is the most reliable and most highly recommended. However, Intel SSD doesn't work with the new Macbook Pro 13" & 17" because of some cabling SATA III issues. Does the issue still remain or has it been fixed? If it hasn't been fixed, what is the current most highly recommended and reliable and best in terms of speed, reliability, and just...best SSD available that works best with the 2011 MBP? Can anyone help me out? Ive been reading that OCZ and others are faster than Intel but less reliable (higher failure rates) and MBP can't take advantage of faster 6/Gbps RAID III or something. help me!!! Should I just wait?

    If you search the web, you will predominately read about problems, not good experiences.
    I don't believe Intel is any less subject to issues, than the Sandforce SSD drives.
    Buy from a reliable source with a good return policy and warranty.
    OWC is well regarded.

  • Will the Magic Mouse Work with the new iPad?

    I know it can work with the wireless keyboard.... but will it work with the mighty mouse?

    You could argue that the iPad doesn't have a use for an external keyboard either. Yet it supports one. And truth be told this is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, reasons having optional mouse support would be nice.
    You see when typing on an external keyboard you have to reach up and over to tap the iPad. This gets tiring rather quickly. Ironically this is the very reason Steve Jobs argued that touchscreens don't work for notebook computers. A mouse would be more ergonomically sound in this situation. Also the method for selecting text with your finger kind of slow.
    As for the lack of a mouse cursor.... as unsanctioned software tweaks have proven, one could easily be added while the mouse is connected.

  • Does the easycap dc60 work with the 2013 imac 27 inch?

    hi i wanted to connect my xbox to my iMac but i couldn't find a solution except the easycap dc60 but does anyone know if its compatible with the new iMac?

    Apple lists these environmental conditions for most of its machines:
    Operating temperature: 50° to 95° F (10° to 35° C)
    Storage temperature: -13° to 113° F (-24° to 45° C)
    Relative humidity: 0% to 90% noncondensing
    Maximum operating altitude: 10,000 feet
    Maximum storage altitude: 15,000 feet
    Maximum shipping altitude: 35,000 feet
    If you don't believe you are exceeding them up or down, you may have a hardware problem that your 1 year AppleCare may cover.  See first if the hardware test booting the 'D' key is revealing:

  • DVD Studio Pro no longer works with the new iMac. Solutions?

    Disc installations in general don't exist anymore and DVD Studio Pro is no longer supported in the new iMac that we have at our office. I used to have Roxio's Toast Titanium as a backup burner, but even that is not supported past mac OS 10.7. Final Cut X has the option to export straight to DVD but the menu options it gives you is so basic it doesn't even look professional. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and what they are using now to burn a professional looking DVD. Many thanks

    mlaughbaum,
    It seems as though you and I are on the same page struggling. Were you able to find any alternatives to DVDSP or any way to continue using it?
    On-Site Video
    I'm considering myself lucky... Though I was unable to install either DVDSP and FCP v.6 on my new iMac, they are both still working on my older iMac even though it too is running ML. I believe this is because I upgraded to ML from Leopard with both already installed.
    My only suggestion would be to install Leopard (or the OS on which they were working for you), install FCP, DVDSP and compressor, and then upgrade to ML. Seems like a silly solution but I have a feeling it would work. I'm not doing it because it's working on the iMac that's closest to my DVD duplicator. That said, if I had to, I believe that's what I'd try.
    Really infuriates me. My business depends on DVD sales and there really isn't another cost effective DVD authoring solution for the mac out there.
    I do wish you the best of luck and would love to hear if you come up with a better solution.

  • Strange goings on with the intel iMac

    Ive been having a few glitches with my brand new iMac which I had only today. for one it was crashing when I clicked the date & time section of system preferences but now one of the icons has gone horribly wrong. On another note can anyone direct me to where I can get a plugin for quicktime 7 to play avi files.
    see here for what I mean: http://www.applegateplus.com/help.png

    What was your experience with the machine "out of the box?" Meaning, did you simply boot up the machine and play around, or otherwise did you do some sort of mass migration of files and folders from you previous Mac?
    I noticed Deja Vu in your system prefs - makes me think you did a migration of some sort.
    Let us know...
    P.S. - as for the QT plug-in, you'll find the DivX codec for intel mac will assist you in getting your QT Player to see those pesky avi files:
