All I have to say is there are some programs that absolutely need extra buttons. What is Apples solutiong for this? Buy a different mouse. It's not a big deal people.

Apple even admits the need for muti-button mice buy allowing you to buy a large assortment of them at any Apple store. Including the company store in Cupertino.

i believe Shake lists a 3-button mouse as a system-requirment

[mnkeybsness]

shake doesn't REQUIRE a three button mouse. i've used it with a pro mouse. but it is a lot easier and faster to get some tasks down with a three button.

have you used shake with the promouse?

it works.

[MacBandit]

I can't believe people are fighting over mouse buttons for such and such an app. This is rediculous people. Who the **** cares. I mean your talking about a $10 piece of hardware. It's like PC people that list the one button mouse as a major reason not to get a Mac. Give me a break.

Then by all means contact Apple and tell them their system requirements for Shake 3 are wrong because you've used Shake 3 w/a pro mouse... :rolleyes:

i'm not fighting about this. i'm just trying to make a point. granted i was using the trial version which would only export video with a tag over every frame.

Are you talking about Shake 3 or a previous version of Shake (maybe this is where I'm confused)?

What version of quicktime do you have? Your buttons look iMovieish but mine look aqua like and I have Quicktime 6.1.1.

Nah, you're seeing things. His buttons are still above the background with a shadow but the Quicktime app wasn't in the foreground at the time so the buttons are not lit up.

do a search on macrumors for iFix ...it's just a localized.rsrc file you need to change...does the same thing to iTunes
