Oct 25, 2010 CNET's Dong Ngo has detailed instructions on how to install Windows 7 on a MacBook Air from a USB thumbdrive.

Then use the 'createinstallmedia' command in Terminal. After, mount the USB flash drive or other volume that you're using for the bootable installer.

Make sure that it has at least 12GB of available storage. Open Terminal, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder. Type one of the following commands in Terminal. These all assume that the installer is in your Applications folder, and the name of the volume that you're using for the bootable installer is MyVolume. If your volume is named differently, replace MyVolume with the name of your volume.

Hi there Like the title might imply, I want to have a headset for my imac with Leopard. Today I went to the store and a Gravis Gamer Headset around 30 euro caught my eye, I asked of of the customer assistants if he could plug it into one of the iMacs there, he did and we got the error Keyboard not supported + the blabla it comes with Same problem with USB Soundcards. There would have been a headset from Logitech which would have supported mac, but its made for skype and co, and I really doubt I would feel comfy with that thing on my head for longer than 2 hours when playing (which I mostly gonna use it for) So: What Tips can you give me, are those logitech headsets usable for gaming? Are there any, not too expensive headsets that would work as gaming headset?

The headset I am using on my windows PC is a PLantronics, non usb, I#d like to have a sond quality simirar or better Best would be a detachable mic or mutable with big earparts, good for shooters and wow. Hope you can help me. Click to expand.if you tell me how to plug a microphone into a machine without a microphone in? Ill have a look at those you guys posted (but srsly, I won't spent a whoppin 250 on a headset for playing xD) Somebody can help me out and tell me, the problem I stated in my first post, was this just the iMac in the store, or will every iMac react like that? While googling I saw a form thread somewhere, where someone said his gravis is working fine on his mac. Exactly the one iI tryied today.

And I got this error. USB Headset for Macspeech How peachy that you made this topic today, I was just thinking of the same question. I'm looking for a headset for Macspeech, an overly-finnicky dictation program.

Apparently not just any microphone will do, it has to be a USB-based one. Macspeech's recommended headset list is incredibly short, so I went off to search on my own. I have no experience with USB headsets.

It seems like the headsets I find are either horrifically ugly and are mediocre quality, or are made for gamers (and their compatibility with Mac OS X is uncertain). While the microphone quality is really all that matters, it wouldn't hurt if it were ergonomic and if it could double as a nice pair of headphones. I figured that since they're all USB it shouldn't really make a difference whether it's Windows or not. Of course, all of the gamer-centered ones talk about Windows compatibility, but none seem to explicitly state it as a requirement.

I found a seemingly decent set for use, the, and gave them a call to inquire about Mac OS X compatibility. They said that they tested it out on a Mac and it didn't work. So what gives? Do all USB headsets require drivers, or are some just more specialized than others? On that note, I'd also like recommendations for USB headsets.

I'd prefer not to exceed $50, but I'm willing to go higher if necessary. Microphone quality is the #1 priority, comfort of wear is a close second.

Style and quality audio output are desirable, but if I can't have it all then those two can be tossed. I appreciate any advice or recommendations that you can offer. Microphone and speech stuff MacSpeech Logitech has worked well.

I'm using a Plantronics Audio.400 now. I've never needed no stinking drivers. LOL - it's just USB, plug-and-play, baby! Ledgem - If you're still looking, MacSpeech Dictate comes with a generic looking but high quality headset mic but at MacWorld SF they were bundling the Plantronics Audio 400.

On their website it's just $10 more to get this, and it has two stereo earpieces instead of one. It's still wired and a headset, so you are tethered to your Mac. I'd love one of them wireless ones. I'm going to try it with Skype, next. By the way, I just spoke everything here.

Only two mistakes and it gave me choices in a floating window to correct this. Plantronics 995 headset freezes internet I use a Plantronics.Audio 995 (cordless headset w/USB) with Skype and iTunes and it works great for those two things. Plugged it in but I had to manually pair the two. (trick: hold down power buttons on headset and dongle at the same time until dongle flashes blue) Got it working after it was fully charged. Works on our PC as well.

However, problem is, it freezes my internet connection. I definitely can't watch streaming video with it, which is a big downside.

Skype works, which uses the internet connection, but I don't understand why it works for that but not browsing the web. I've tried to have my Bluetooth system find the headset but it would search and search, find nothing, then not stop. I've sent reports to Apple. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
