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.

  • Which antivirus product is recommended for the iMac?

    Which antivirus product is recommended for the iMac?

    OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it updated with software updates from Apple.
    A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
    Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
    Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
    Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
    Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
    Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
    Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
    Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
    Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
    Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
    Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
    Disable Java in Safari > Preferences > Security.
    Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
    Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
    Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
    Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
    If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
    Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
    The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
    OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
    Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
    If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
    Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
    Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
    Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

  • Which Mac Mini Configuration Recommended for Leopard??

    I'm about to purchase a new Mini to replace my (beautiful!) G4 Cubes, and would appreciate any comments/recommendations on which configuration to order. I'm planning to get the upgraded 2GB of memory (more is always better!, and my guess would be that the 2.0 GHz processor with a 120 GB HD + SuperDrive should be a nice ticket - or would you recommend a bigger HD? (I don't do intensive graphics or any gaming, but I want to be able to run OS X and MS Windows simultaneously (with Parallels?).
    Also... I currently have 2 G4 Cubes networked to run on a single DSL service using a FriendlyNet Ethernet Hub and 2Wire modem. Any problems simply substituting the Mac Mini for one of the Cubes in this network?
    Final question, please: With Leopard plus Parallels on the new Mini, what is the minimum Microsoft package I would need to buy in order to open and work with basic Excel, PPS, and Word documents?
    With your comments/recommendations, I'm ready to add my contribution to Apple's gross and net income for the current quarter!!..... Thanks!... CaptDenny

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    The requirements for Leopard are sufficiently low that even an old Mac mini should run it well, let alone one of the new Core 2 Duo models. As such, the 2.0 model with 2Gb RAM should be more than adequate. Leopard's only notably heavier demand is drive space, now requiring close to 10Gb. Clearly the 120Gb drive standard in the 2.0 model would be adequate to that task, plus allow for use of Windows also. As such, a larger internal drive wouldn't really be recommended, though you may wish to consider adding a good sized external, preferably a firewire connected drive, for extra storage and backup.
    Where running Windows is concerned, Leopard comes with BootCamp, so you could use that as opposed to Parallels. The downside is that while BootCamp is free, it doesn't permit the running of MacOS and Windows side by side. At boot, you have to select one or the other. If that meets your needs, then it's a better bet in many ways, since it allows the entire system, memory and processor to be dedicated to whichever OS you need at any given time, rather than shared.
    On the other hand, if you need or want to run both MacOS and Windows simultaneously, and switch between them, Parallels is the option that would allow that, though both MacOS and Windows will suffer in terms of absolute performance since RAM and CPU are shared between them.
    You should have no problem substituting a new mini into your home network using the same setup as you presently have on the soon to be retired Cube.
    To run Excel, PowerPoint and Word, you'll need a copy of MS Office. The current version for Mac is still 2004, which is not Intel native. The updated version to closely match MS Office 2007 for Windows will not be out for Mac until 2008. If you buy a copy of MS Office 2004 for Mac however, you'll get an upgrade to the new version when it is released. Upgrading at that point would be advised since while the current version is not Intel native, the new version due is. If you are a student or teacher, you will qualify for the Academic version at around $150, otherwise it's a little expensive $400 list price.

  • Which book do you recommend for 'MySQL 5 Certified Associate Exam' exam?

    Hello, this is my first post. I am familiar with SQL and I use it occasionally, but I decided to get certified. Which book and material would you recommend me studying to sit the 1Z0-870 exam? Online and college courses are too expensive for me and I happen to do better studying at my own pace. Thanks.

Thanks.For certification purposes: MySQL 5.0 Certification Study Guide [Paperback] ISBN-13: 978-0672328121 is still probably still good (unless the topics have been updated and I haven't noticed), though perhaps dated compared to the more recent MySQL versions.
    ... That said the 1z0-870 for MySQL is relatively expensive and over simple for what it is (IMHO); and it may be worth considering going direct for the OCP.
    For using the more recent version of MySQL in practice additional books/material may be important for on the job in practice.

  • 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 Java version is recommended for widest compatibility?

    I started learning and coding with JDK 1.1_Final, but particular code elements do not seem to be working. For example, overriding update() to not clear the screen and instead only call paint() has no effect at all - the screen still gets cleared! I had hoped to compile using 1.1.x for maximum browser compatibility, but if the language version doesn't work then there's little point in using it. So, with the release of Java 2 and SDK 1.4.x, what are people doing out there to code applets that will reach the widest target audience? I've restricted my HTML code limited to the 4.x browsers or higher, but haven't yet found a listing of which versions of Java are compatible with which versions of browsers. (Sun's FAQ is incomplete in this matter.) So, I'm not quite sure how to balance the compatibility issues and decide which version of Java to use for reaching a reasonable 'maximum' target audience without forcing site visitors to upgrade their browsers for viewing my applets. (I hate sites like that!) So, what version of Java do you use for applets, and why? What browser versions are you compatible with? What other issues should I be considering? Thanks for helping me to select an appropriate Java applet version that will reach the most people.

    code with one of the newer jdks (1.3.x, 1.4.x) and prompt people to download the
    java plugin by using the htmlconverter in you jdk's bin directory

  • I need a USB flash drive recommendation for late 2008 MBP

    I swapped out an Aluminum MacBook Pro for the new unibody one. Unfortunately, since the 2 USB ports are now side by side, I can no longer use my external mouse and flash drive at the same time due to the thickness of the Cruzer drive.
    Anyone out there have a USB drive that DOES fit next to a standard sized USB cable? I need a brand that has sizes 4 GB or bigger. Thanks for any help or suggestion you can provide.

    Hi JMF, I had the same issue as you, but I found a USB drive that does fit next to a standard sized USB cable. It is a Verbatim USB Mini Swivel and comes in sizes from 1GB to 8GB. You can get these through the Online Apple store. Hope this helps.

  • I have been receiving notices that some web pages I visit require Flash 10, I have only flash 9. I followed Adobe's instructions about un-installing Flash 9 and downloaded Flash 10.1, which is what they recommended for my computer.

    I have a Power PC Mac running system 10.4.11. When I unziped the Flash 10.1 download It produced a Flash Player application but no installer and no info from Adobe as to what to do with it. Where should it be put? or is something missing?

    The Adobe archive I downloaded had 19 different items to chose from. I mistakingly opened the one labeled:
    flashplayer10_1r82_76_mac_sa.app.zip (This is a stand alone application for developers.)
    This did not work so I tried this one:
    flashplayer10_1r82_76_ub_mac.dmg (This opened the "Install Flash Player" which worked.)
    If I had read the "READ ME" file bast the Adobe disclaimers I might have seen this.
    Thanks again.

  • Which games can u recommend for the ipod touch?

    well, .. which ones? ... what is that game that was featured on steve jobs latest iphone release video?

    Depends on what kind of games you like. I loaded Scrabble, Tetris, Sudoku, all of which I like. I also got FreeCell which I don't really like because the screen is too small making it hard to move the cards by dragging. The jury is still out on Enigmo which I'm having a hard time figuring out the strategy and HoldEm (again a small screen problem).
    Anyway, these games are more than enough to provide me with something to do if I'm in a captive situation (like on an airplane or waiting for a delayed flight). The main problem with IT gaming is that its a battery eater and without a way to charge, the IT won't hack it on a long flight. I might have to look into one of these pack along spare batteries to keep my IT "cookin".

  • OK, so which printer(s) are recommended for OS X 10.5?

    I've been reading some of the discussions about how many of us are having problems with our HP and Lexmark printers since upgrading to Leopard; whose printer line supports it? I just ordered a Lexmark, but I'll gladly put a stop on it if enough people chime in with a "bulletproof" alternative.
    Thanks in advance.

    I found it helpful to go to the manufacturers web site and look up the printer model. They usually tell you if there are problems with certain computers/OSs. For example, the HP that I bought for my wife at the same time I bought her iMac would not work until I went to the site and downloaded the latest drivers. Even then it didn't have all the functions. It took HP several months before they came up with a driver that solved the problems we were having. They still haven't solved the scanner problem for my HP all-in-one.

  • Which graphics cards are recommended for Final Cut Pro X?

    I'm in the process of downloading Final Cut Pro X and I'm truly exited.
    I have a 2008 Mac Pro with 8GB of memory and am going to order 8GB more.
    Now I'm looking to upgrade my graphics card. This card also should support Adobe After Effects.
    Thanks

    Get a PC ATI 5870 or 6870 for little money and install MacBook Pro 2011 graphics update.
    Works out of the box from 10.6.7 on.

  • Which iPad would you recommend for a college student, an iPad mini or full size iPad?

    I already have the top of the line Macbook Pro 15 in ret display for school, but I'm also interested in using an iPad for school as well. Would the iPad mini be more convenient because of the small size or more of a problem? And would getting an iPad for school be really worth it? What could I do on there that I couldn't do on my Mac? If I were to get an iPad I would be looking into a 32GB, is that too big or too small? Thanks for the help ahead of time!

    OK... here's the latest on my lab environment/server set up. We have a 17" iMac G5. It is connected to a 24 port 10/100 switch with two gigabit ports. The iMac gets a gigabit port; the eleven eMacs get 10/100 ports. There is an internal 160 GB SATA hard drive installed in the iMac, and a 160 GB external firewire drive connected to the iMac for back-up purposes. I haven't got the back-up software running yet, but plans are to back up user information on the external hard drive and create an archive of server OS set up and software on DVD in case of catastrophic failure.
    Since our 30+ Windows boxes are served with your basic Dell Optiplex running Windows Server 2003 and an old, cranky Gateway running Linux, I didn't think our little Mac lab would suffer that much under an iMac server. So far it's been smooth sailing, and the whole set-up, iMac, server software, and external hard drive, were under $2000.
