Will there be a more durable Mighty Mouse soon?

With all of Apple's continuous improvement of everything, and the general durability of their products, why have they let the VERY FRAGILE Mighty Mouse go so long without improvements?
It's a major topic of discussion on the Internet that its trackball gets clogged very easily and stops working, and I find that even if I follow everybody's instructions as to how to get the track ball working again, it eventually can't be repaired.
I'm tired of buying an expensive new mouse every nine months or so. Does Apple have any plan to manufacture a mouse that will last a normal length of time?

Nobody outside of Apple knows what Apple's plans are.
If you don't like the Mighty Mouse, vote with your wallet by buying one of the dozens of other mice and trackballs that are available.

Nobody here knows. We are all just users like yourself. You just have to periodically check Apple's site.

Will there be an iPod touch six released soon

will there be an iPod touch six released soon

Well we don't know, we aren't Apple.
But i would say no. They just released the fifth generation in September last year which was a big update in comparision to the 4th gen one.
And they released a new 16 GB model like a month ago.

I totally agree but for whatever reason they don't at the moment....
I just read that apple is providing updated printer driver packages sometimes (they just released packages for samsung, canon, gestedner etc.) so it seems they do take care about these issues.

Will an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and Mighty Mouse work with a PC?

I would like to use both with a pc as well as my macbook but I have no interest in purchasing if i do not know if it will work? Does anyone have any experience?

My only experience is with the Mouse.
It works just fine in Windows. When you pair it up you need to use the password 0000. (That's in the manual)
It does not show you a battery meter though so you will be guessing about the status of the battery.
You will want to keep a USB mouse around to set it up for the first time. Windows will not automatically ask you to pair up a mouse if it doesn't detect a USB mouse is present.
I expect the keyboard is exactly the same. Bluetooth is a standard for both Mac and Windows operating systems.

Will there be an E3000 firmware update anytime soon?

I wonder if an updated firmware for E3000 would come out. Current one have few web-interface issues at QoS, DHCP, Custom Routes and WiFi setup pages.
Also would be nice if there would be an option to turn off Guest SSID for WiFi.
BTW your forum does not work corectly with Opera.

Please let me know the current firmware version on the router? If it is the old one then try to download the last version from the Linksys/Cisco website.
After download here is the link to upgrade the firmware:

After upgrading the firmware it is recommended to reset the router. Here are the steps to reset:
Push the reset button on router for 30 seconds, turn off the router wait for 30 seconds and then power it on. Power light should blink when you perform the reset process.
Once you have successfully reset your Gateway, you will need to reconfigure the settings again and the check the status...

Will there be a 3TB internal HD anytime soon?

Since reading that many PCs are limited to using a 2.1 TB hard drive, I'm wondering if that is the reason there isn't a rush of internal HDs larger that 2 TB hitting the market. Seagate has a 3TB external drive out, but it is the only 3 TB device available. It wasn't that long after 1.5 TB HDs hit the market that 2 TB came along. Anybody in the know have info about this? My 2 TB internal HD is approaching being full and I'm wondering what to do next. I suppose I'll have to separate items on to different hard drives. I bought and tried using a 4 bay Drobo for Time Machine backup, but it worked poorly and really upset my Mac Pro...it would not shut off or turn on, kernel panics, etc., so I got rid of it.

There is WD 3TB, it ships with a Highpoint 2-port controller, needed for XP users, Apple addressed the 2TB limitations with GPT, which Windows Vista/7 support but only for data drives.
PCs have had to partition off drives or RAID arrays (say 4 x 1TB) due to booting MBR limitation.
And Microsoft has FAQ on GPT. There are few non-Apple motherboards with Unified EFI support which is also needed to boot from GPT.
People with Mac Pro have been using volumes of 8TB already. If I were you I'd look at the OWC RAID case or move away from FireWire and build an SATA setup.
RAID0 is fine, but you do need backups, and even if you want to use TimeMachine, still good to add or even more important, clone your volume(s) with SuperDuper.
Rush? it takes time, and seems like 2TB was yesterday, and 1TB is about 3 yrs old?
PCs are not limited to 2TB though. Master Boot Record, yes.

Will there be a new ipod classic released soon?

Am thinking of buying a new classic but have seen that the nano, shuffle etc have just been upgraded. Are there any plans or expectation that the classic will be refreshed soon too?
Thanks.

Well Apple just made their announcement for the new iPod Touches but doesn't look like any changes were made to the Classic.

Will there be $99 WHITE iPhone 3G anytime soon?

I hope there will be... but something tells me I am a fool if I really expect it to happen soon.
What's your opinion?

no, you can get a 16 GB 3G in white for 150$ while supplies last (Maybe Best Buy or something). They never made the 8GB in white and probably never will.

Will there be a Vista compatible version RoboHelp soon?

Hi everyone,
I'm working for a large enterprise which is soon going to
migrate to Vista (Now Windows 2000) and we are trying to find Vista
compartible versions of our softwares.
Thus I would like to know if a full Vista compatible version
of RoboHelp is going to appear in 2007?
Hope someone could help me.
Thanks a lot

Hi M(ike) and welcome to the RH community. You may want to
check out
this
link posted by John Daigle after he attended the sneek peep at
the next version of RH earlier this year. It will support vista.
What no one on these forums can answer is when the next version
will be available. I guess even within Adobe this is a closely
guarded secret for commercial reasons. I think you'll just have to
keep your ear close to the ground.

How to wired mighty mouse in windows 7

i am using an old apple mighty mouse with my windows notebook. the trackball doesn't work and the configuration panel in Windows 7 doesn't config mighty mouse button. is there any solution to config mighty mouse in Windows 7? thank you.

There is no need for additional drivers.
Why?
If you have a Wireless Mighty Mouse you have to turn your computer visible for other devices in the Bluetooth preferences - then simply search for Bluetooth devices, connect - done!
To configure the Mighty Mouse's buttons, you might want to have a look at a tool called X-Mouse Button Control (http://www.highrez.co.uk/downloads/XMouseButtonControl.htm).

Mighty Mouse Has NOTHING Mighty

Am I the only crazy one to think that either OS X or more likely Mighty Mouse is a drag...
Right clicking with the index finger raised is one thing that one can get use to but it is more or less random whether OSX/Mighty Mouse understands that one have actually right clicked. Plugging in a logitec mouse takes care of the problem and right click remains a right click instead of a fifty fifty percent chance of getting the right click...
I have 3 Mighty mice and they all show the same problem...
My only question to Apple should they read this is:
HOW HARD, on a scale from 1-2, can it be to NOT publish a hardware that SIMPLY does not work reliably...
This is bad advertisement for your coming Iphone

To ensure a right-click, I now click pretty close to the right edge of the mouse. Otherwise, the mouse often misinterprets it as a click.
If the Mighty Mouse hadn't come in the box with my Mac Pro, I would not have bought it at all. Cheaper traditional mice work much better. The one innovation the Mighty Mouse has going for it is the scroll ball, but even then, Apple has pulled us back 10 years to where we used to have to clean the mouse ball or it would skip or stop working.
The Mighty Mouse is one of those Apple products that causes the more religious and less reasonable Mac users to constantly apologize for and rationalize the Mighty Mouse's irrational behaviors. If the Mighty Mouse was a Microsoft product, the Mac religious would have slammed the design decisions as "typical Microsoft incompetence."
