August 12, 201016 yr comment_379278 Does anybody have the 32 bit windows drivers for the magic mouse? The link at uneasy silence no longer works. Bumping this as I think it got lost in all the trackpad discussion. Report
August 18, 201016 yr comment_380843 ok, back to looking for a 8GB upgrade kit for my Mac mini. First option is a kit from OWC. The strange thing, is they seem to have rebranded another manufacturer? Here's a link: 8.0GB (4.0GB + 4.0GB Kit) PC-8500 DDR3... (OWC8566DDR3S8GP) at OWC other option is Mushkin from Newegg: Newegg.com - Mushkin Enhanced 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500) Dual Channel Kit Memory for Apple Model 976644A Any opinions? Report
August 18, 201016 yr comment_380844 OWC isn't a memory manufacturer, so of course they're rebranding someone else. That said, I buy whatever fits from newegg when I upgrade, I've never found a need to go with something "mac specific". Report

That said, I buy whatever fits from newegg when I upgrade, I've never found a need to go with something "mac specific". I haven't found any non-Mac memory with the same specs as the stock memory. Specifically ECC non buffered with the same timing and latency. edit: that and there are very few 8 GB (2x4GB) choices at Newegg. I think I'll just buy something there.

In any case, the Corsair CM3X8GSDKIT1066 seems to match the Mushkin on specs, but cheaper. [EDIT] Oh, but not at Newegg. Report
August 18, 201016 yr comment_380864 I don't know much about the products you are asking but I really like buying stuff from OWC. Report
August 19, 201016 yr comment_381122 I've bought few things from OWC and I've never had problems with them in the past, though for memory, I usually use Crucial. Report
August 19, 201016 yr comment_381163 Got a message this morning that the magic trackpad I ordered on July 27th, the first day it was announced, won't ship now until Sept 17. At the same time, their website says shipping 5-7 business days. I am getting kinda pissed at Apple. I am not sure if it was because I ordered it through the education store or if this is happening to everyone. Report
August 19, 201016 yr comment_381164 Shelly, I think my law partner is taking the other MTP I had. I will be in an Apple Store at lunch. I can pick one up for you if they have them. Let me know. Report
August 19, 201016 yr comment_381172 Mike, If they have one and you don't mind picking one up for me, that would be great!!! [i checked and they don't have any in the Apple store here.] Report
August 19, 201016 yr comment_381187 Shelly, I picked one up for you. Send me your address and I will try to ship today or no later than tomorrow. Report

August 19, 201016 yr comment_381306 After a 1 hour visit with a mac genius, he was able to get my Magic Trackpad to work in bootcamp with full functionality. He also upgraded my ram to 4 GB in my MacBook and Mini. Report
August 20, 201016 yr comment_381423 Hmm, wish there was some way to use my moose or trackpads while using the Ipad VNC. It would make my couch slobbing even more slobbish. Report

August 20, 201016 yr comment_381471 bah, already updated it to 4.whatever... The moosepad of choice on the couch is the couch. I just need to find some way of allowing mouse/trackpad input on the mac mini when it's in a VNC session so I can mouse as normal and use the ipad as a viewer for ideal slobbing. Report
August 20, 201016 yr comment_381474 go to jailbreakme.com from safari and you should be jailbroken Report
August 20, 201016 yr comment_381479 Smeggy, the mousepad should still work when you're in via vnc, if it's paired to the mini with bluetooth. I do that on occassion. Report
August 20, 201016 yr comment_381483 nope, for whatever reason the only thing either mouse or trackpad can do is a left click in the top left corner, can't actually move the pointers on screen. I've got 4 or 5 different VNC progs and none of them want to allow mouse movement or gestures. Different servers too. Logmein, iteleport, realVNC etc.. No idea why none of them will let me mouse.

Execution time: 36376 seconds. I'll probably wait a few weeks to be sure then see if anyone is interested in the two 1G modules... I figure some people will probably pay a bit higher than the normal rate for genuine mac memory modules? Same memory used in the notebooks... Edited August 21, 201016 yr by luvdunhill Report
