I subscribed for a year to MobileMe. I like the benefits of it, but the online interface is possibly the worst I have ever used. Is there any way to use a basic HTML form instead of the current one? What are some alternatives?

I have an old pre-Intel G5 Mac desktop and want to keep using Mobile me Mail and Entourage because they work so well and I have been using them for 10 years. I cannot get the mail system to work having moved everything else to iCloud. Followed the instructions but it just does not work and the mail.mac.com server will not accept my password. Any ideas?

I recently switched to Mac OS X and love it except for iTunes. I hate the way it encodes tracks and the difficulty it poses in easily accessing one's music library. When I had Windows XP, I used to use foobar2000 or Winamp. I'd love to find something similar for OS X. Is there any alternative to iTunes or should I just resign myself to using this app?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI know that OWC and Transintl both sell kits up to 32GB ram. I was looking to put in 32GB ram in my newly ordered mac pro 2009. I expected the ram prices to be somewhere near the 32GB kit price of the previous mac pros at OWC but they are more then double.
Does anyone know of a brand I could purchase maybe elsewhere (8GB kits) and just get 4 of those requesting they be from the same lot.
Just looking for other alternatives then 2 stores.
I want to move my Boot Camp partition to a new hard drive, something which I would have used Winclone for in the past. Now it's been discontinued and seems to not work under Snow Leopard I need to find another way. Are there any other programs to complete the same task?
View 21 Replies View RelatedI have successfully converted my dad to a Mac and he purchased his first Macbook earlier today. The only program he absolutely needs for work is MS Access. Unfortunately, MS Office for Mac doesn't include MS Access. I have searched the forums and seen a few alternatives with Open Office being a pretty popular (and free!) solution. My question is this, if all my dad needs to do is be able to open MS Access documents and do minor revisions, is Open Office a solution that will meet his needs? Again, all he is really going to be doing is opening MS Access documents and reading their data.

Having waited for months on my preorder of the Radeon 3870, its still not in stock, and its been delayed for another 3 weeks in the UK. I have a couple of questions, Is it possible to flash the PC 3870 card to work in OS X? I�ve had a quick search on this forum, and I�m unsure as to what the results conclude. What is the highest performance mainstream graphics card that can run on the Mac Pro, officially or unofficially? I need the card by this weekend.

Are there any other Apps that can edit an MS Word .doc Document ??
I have been using TextEdit up until now, but have recently realised a few of it's limitations. E.g., I had a file from an app I use that needed to be edited and a small bit of code C+P'd into it. TextEdit opened the file but showed it as a blank file? I downloaded and installed TextWrangler and it worked perfectly. However, I don't really like TextWrangler all that much, and was wondering whether you had any alternatives that you use that are better than TextEdit?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have been a Mac user for a long time and have always tried to convince my old man from jumping onboard the Mac bandwagon. He tells me that the only reason why he does not get a Mac is because of a specific software that he uses for his business. My father owns his own business and works from home, so he really needs just one computer, and so far, that one computer meets his needs due to the compatibility of the software with his Dell PC.
However, I really want to "update" his XP workstation by getting him a new Mac, but I am afraid it would go unused without this software that he needs for business. Does anyone know of any good alternatives to Floorplan 3d? I am really not that familiar with software for this industry. Here is a link to the software that he uses for his business: [URL]. Also, I am aware that Windows can be installed on a Mac and that is not a solution that I am seeking.

Since 19th May 2012 I have not been able to receive e mails on my mac and can only access mobileme mails by logging onto the internet. I've tried all the obvious things to get it working but to no avail.Funny thing is that I can send e mails no problem from my mac but cannot receive - the only thing that does come thru is Applenews.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWell, I am learning how important drag and drop is on OSX. There is no Cut/Paste of files and many tricks require dragging on top of an apps' icon. So, I hate the tap to click and I can't stand the unibody trackpad click and drag. I can't seem to keep it depressed and drag across the entire High Res screen. Is there any alternative? Say a key I can hold to lock the click so I don't have to keep the pad depressed?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI've recently been running into problems with mouse clicks not being picked up by OS X. At first I thought it was my mouse, but it seems to happen with other USB mice as well. Turns out the problem is being caused by USB Overdrive. Seems there is a problem with it and 10.6.x. Turns out that I am not the only one with the problem and no one has heard from the developer of a workaround or patch to fix the problem.
I use a Logitech MX518 and Logitech won't release Mac drivers for it, so I need something like USB Overdrive to get full functionality. Does anyone here know of any alternatives to USB Overdrive that work with Snow Leapord?
I just bought a new Macbook Pro 13" and popped in a DVD to test out the playback. Nothing is wrong with the DVD player program. It just seems the playback quality is not too great.
Are there any other programs for use with Snow Leopard that will play DVD's better on my Macbook? I've heard VLC is a great alternative but not sure if it actually plays DVD's with better quality.
I know that Limewire is bad all around, but isn't that just on PC's? They can't give macs viruses, can they? If they do what are some other alternatives to Limewire?
View 21 Replies View RelatedMy wife's been working with Entourage for the past several months as she likes having all of her PIM data integrated in one place. In particular she likes the project view as this lets her see all of the relevant files, emails, notes, tasks and calendar appointments for a specific class (she's in grad school) in one place. Unfortunately she also wants to sync that information to her phone (a Nokia N82), and Entourage does not play nice with sync services. Every time we've tried setting up Entourage to sync with iCal so she can then sync with her phone we've run into a host of problems, including losing all of her calendar appointments and getting a massive number of duplicates.
As such I'm looking for an alternative to Entourage that duplicates the Project view features. The most important items for my wife are email, notes, files and calendar, she wants to be able to go to one place and look at all those items for individual classes. I've looked at Contactizer and Daylight, but both are a bit pricey, complicated and don't cover everything she wants, in particular they seem to lack the ability to look into the contents of a defined folder and track the files in there as Entourage can.
I am looking for a wireless router to use at my apartment. I like the Airport Extreme, but it is a bit pricey. The things I like include: 802.11n The ability to chose between 2.4 and 5 GHz bands (or both with the latest revision) Gigabit Ethernet ports USB port for printer or storage There are, of course, several routers out there that offer many of these features.

View 8 Replies View RelatedAfter many years of using a PeeCee for my personal machine, I've switched over to Mac. I've never been a fan of trackpads for pointers/mice until I purchased my uMBP (2 weeks ago today). The MBP trackpad is the first trackpad I've used and liked.
I have played with the magic mouse a few times, and I just don't like the operation of it. It's too low to the desktop and I'd prefer something that is stationary for "mousing"...
Is there a good trackpad alternative for the desktops that uses identical gestures to the uMBP trackpad? I've seen the Wacom Bamboo family and see that they support gestures -- but I don't know if the gestures are identical between something like this and the uMBPs trackpad.
I have sold my 12" powerbook g4 and want to know if there is any software I can install to have trackpad scrolling for the new owner. I used to have the beta of Sidetrack but its now a paid for app. Are there any free alternatives?
