Under your System Settings there is a mouse and keyboard settings section. You can set the right click to act as it does under Windows as fkshiu suggests. It just comes turned off out of the box. You can also adjust your mouse tracking speed etc there which may help you dial in the feel of the tracking to where you like it. I find they are set for slow tracking out of the factory compared to what I like.

Right on guys. Nice settings. Tracks better now and the right click works. Excellent. Thanks. More questions later. :D

No problem, happy to help. Shoot us any more questions you have.

Guess I better go read the online How to do everything Mac. :lol:

I thought with all the stuff Apple does, they would have software on here that plays my Sirius. Oh no. Need to download Microsoft Media Player. What the heck. :lol: Of course try doing that on here. Ack, gonna pee myself. :lol:

Figured I could listen to music while figuring the rest out :lol:


Thats ok though. Still love it. :mrgreen:

um sirius plays off there web page.

Is there a seperat program for it?


Oh and your on a apple now.. learn to live with one mouse button :mrgreen:

Steve

I don't know anything about Sirius, but there's lots of free internet streamed music on "radio" in itunes. I use Acquisition and Vuze for downloading http://www.acquisitionx.com/
http://www.vuze.com/
http://www.last.fm/
VLC is a much better video player for MAC than "DVD Player".

What one mouse button Steve. This magic mouse, now adjusted, is the best I have ever used. :D

Yea, just played on my PC Steve. I dont think it was using my media player but perhaps it was. For sure it says I need to use it to play now. So I download the version for my operating system. Sure, now I need some Stuff It thingy to load it. Ok, download that and then finally the media player. Still wont play my Sirius and it says I need to download the same freakin thing I already did.

:lol: I,m going to watch the stupid award show. :lol:

Macs have supported two button mice for ages now. And the magic mouse has two "buttons" too. All you have to do is turn on the right click in your settings.

so if they come with a mouse with two buttones and have for years.. why do they ship it with one disabled??

Doug, I am still a bit confused how were you listining to Sirius with your PC?

Steve

Shipping it disabled is one the weird Steve Jobs things. He seems to feel that for computer newbies two buttons might be confusing. Steve Jobs has always had weird ideas about mice and Apple has shipped some of the worst computer mice ever (anyone remember the hockey puck mouse?).

Cant say Steve. It just worked. There was no player pop up or anything. So on the Sirius site it says I need Flip4 Mac to play it, as MS no longer supports playback of the streaming content on a Mac. Okie dokie so I download the Flip it. Still dont work or at least cant hear anything but it does not say I need anything else now. So perhaps its playing and I dont have something turned on. Be darned if I know. I,m going to join the Mac forum. :lol:

Hey Doug,

Glad you got something you're happy with. By the way, my wife is Mad at you because this thread got me looking at new stuff and the gadget itch flared up.

Couldn't pass up the deals on the new Core i-5's from Dell!

I told her it was because I was helping you and saw how good the deal was!!!

He,he. Thats ok. I,m always in trouble anyways. That one looks good. I almost bought an identical on the Shopping Channel one night.

So far very happy with my purchase but then never owned a high end PC to compare with either. Lots of great features but a couple I miss or just not use to yet.

Best things so far and not just Mac related is the super speed. Plus cant believe how good my photo,s ,{and everyones coral pics}, look on the HD screen.

Several really neat features on Safari that I love also. Of course only a few days in, so have not explored many features. Reads Canreef good. :lol:
