Comment on Mouse cursor skipping (jumping) bug on Mac OS X by Dae

Yes, I’m pretty much sure you can configure non-Mac DeathAdder in the same way, although I don’t know about availability of the Mac driver for it. However, I wouldn’t recommend using the Mac driver anyway, it doesn’t seem decent to me — just configure your mouse once using the Windows driver, and use it with the default Mac driver or SteerMouse/USB Overdrive/ControllerMate — if you need to assign special functions to the buttons or reduce the acceleration.

BTW I encountered the same situation with DeathAdder Mac edition in my country (Russia), so I had to order it from British eBay. While waiting for the parcel I found out that the local computer part stores here actually do have some of those, but they list them as “DeathAdder with white gleam” or just “DeathAdder 3G” allowing clients to pick the desired color themselves.

Looks like things are moving forward :)
What about death adder non mac edition? Could it be customized to work on mac as great as it does on windows? I’m thinking about getting this one, because i cant find the mac edition razer in my country :)

Thanks to Razer drivers you can fix your DeathAdder to work perfectly with Mac OS X, see point 12 above.

So far Apple asked me to provide my system profile, so the only good news is that they did not ignore my ticket.

I experienced such a bug with my deathadder. Now i’m quite confused about what mouse to get for autocad use. Deathadder was probably the most comfortable mouse i’ve ever had in my hand. Then i tried mx518, but the scroll wheel was so uncomfortable and hardly to push. Anyone could suggest me a wired mouse with good scroll wheel and middle button for cad and photoshop use? (i’m not considering of trackballs or tablets) :)
BTW any news from apple about the fix?

Comment on “Building boot caches” error when changing startup disk by jashley

Thanks! I just upgraded from a 10.4.11 server to 10.6 server and used the Transfer server data option… the old server did not have the com.apple.Boot.plist file either. Must not have been needed in 10.4.11

Your fix worked great for me!

Many thanks for this! No idea how I managed to nuke that file, or even why OS X couldn’t just re-create the file itself. I suspect it has something to do with the fact that I tried to install Windows 7 onto an external drive. Which by the way is still a bloody pain to do (I failed); modern technology my ass, I’ve managed to install OS X onto practically anything with writable memory since v10.0!
