magic mouse

zidane88 — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 12:32:05 +0800

My magic mouse can connect to my MBP, however, it does not have the multi touch gesture such as scrolling etc. I was using microsoft bluetooth mouse previously and I have removed it from my bluetooth devices list. At the mouse panel, it doesnt show the magic mouse options. Im using 10.6.7. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

aperture 3

zidane88 — Sun, 16 Jan 2011 16:34:25 +0800

Ive updated to 3.1.1 and updated osx 10.6.6. Then i realized I couldn't launch aperture, and Ive tried reinstalling(following guidance from apple support : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805). It was ok after installing, however after rebooting, I couldnt start again. The icon on dock blinks for more than 30 seconds and finally it stops and not responding. Has anyone came across this problem before? Need help please, thanks!

aperture 3

zidane88 — Sat, 18 Dec 2010 20:57:25 +0800

Im currently using aperture 3 on macbook pro I5. I keep all my RAW files in my external hdd and then i import them from my hard drive. The problem is, very frequent when i do editing on aperture, such as cropping, adjusting contrast etc, it takes few seconds to process( 5 secs ), and sometimes the wheel appears( mouse icon ), this dramatically reduce my macbook performance such as laggy. Is this common or there is something wrong?

Recommendation headphones for Iphone / Ipod

zidane88 — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 12:25:29 +0800

I've been looking on the web for reviews for multiply IEM. As mentioned in the title, I will be mostly using it with my Iphone. So far I've tried "Sony EX Monitor MDR-EX300" and "SoundMAGIC PL20". From my point of view, both have pretty balance SQ on my Iphone but mid and treble is sightly higher. On pc, where EQ and be set to personal preferences, both earphones provide better sound. From the reviews on head-fi.org, I have several in mind, "Fischer Audio Eterna", "SoundMAGIC PL-50", "Head-Direct RE0" and " Sennheiser CX300 - II". As I know Sennheiser has stronger base and it might go well with my phone where treble and mid covers the base when volume is increased( from my P.O.V.). Anyone has any recommendations for any IEM to pair with Ipod/ Iphones? My budget is about RM300 to RM 350.
