Anybody working on a Mac computer?

Is it better to allow a working computer to stay on all the time or turn it off every night? I have heard mixed opinions on this saying the computer is more efficient if you leave it run all the time, and others say that if you turn it off at night, it saves the fan from working all the time. Any opinions? ...

I will get paid downtime for the hours that I missed while waiting for them to send another computer to me and getting it set up, right? ...

I am needing to replace my computer-- my desktop is so slow it is really nonfunctional and I fried my laptop. My question is, I would prefer to buy another laptop but if I wanted to do work from home, does a laptop really suffice? Is it possible to hook up a wireless mouse and real keyboard to it, and is it possible to connect a foot pedal to it? If not, I will need to look at desktops. Thanks for any advice anyone can give out there! ...

I read that Medmedx supplies computers but you can only have Cable or DSL connection. I live in an area where I cannot get cable or DSL. I have a wireless connection. My question is, do they allow you to use our own computers? Thanks for your time and have a great day? ...

The reason I ask this question is for my internet I have a USB modem. Do the computers supplied by Q have any extra USB ports so I can plug my Verizon in there? Thanks! ...

I am in the process of transitioning jobs and will be going from a company-provided computer to my own. Any suggestions on what software programs are needed, virus protection, word expanders, line counting, and hardware like foot pedal? The hospital I am looking into will be using Microsoft Word. Any comments on whether this is a good program or not to transcribe on? Any tips? I have been with the same company for 15 years, so have been out of the loop and need ...

I leave my computer up and running all the time. In the past week every morning I am having to reboot because I get an error saying "insufficient system resources to perform this action." As soon as it finally reboots, then everything is fine, I can log onto DQS and type all day with no problems. Then it sits again all night, and the same thing happens the next morning. Does anyone know what the problem might be? Tech support has already increased the virtual memory capa ...

I got a new computer today and when my first job comes up the ADT info is at the top of the page. Can you tell me how to get it off. Also how to I make the print on my screen larger? TIA ...

I was just wondering how old some computers are that are having problems with 6.1 and if there are people with newer computers that handles it better. Mine is a MQ computer that is 4 years old now and it bogs down quite a bit. Everything is sluggish now. I do have 1 GB of ram and 1.84 GHz, so 6.1 shouldn't take a toll on it as bad as it is. I'm just wondering if I should ask the Q for an upgrade, if that is the problem. Knowing the RAM and proces ...

Need help! I don't use an MQ computer, since they don't want you to put anything personal on it, and most of my life, including banking, is on my computer. My 4-year-old computer crashed and is in the shop for a couple days, and I decided maybe it's time to get a new one. The problem is, DQS requires a 32-bit system, and so far all the new computers I've found are all Windows 7, which is 64 bits. I also want to get a slimline, since it kills my ...

I turned off the "check as you go" spelling feature to get rid of that distracting wiggly red line. When I upload a document, and a mis-spelling is picked up, what's with all the lame suggestions. I mean either there just aren't any suggestions at all for a simple mis-spelled word with a single wrong letter, or just a simple word. What happened to the old Q dictionary? It seems every 5 years their dictionary gets worse. When I started 10 years ag ...

I am looking at quitting MQ, and I'm using their computer...do you think they'll let me buy the computer from them???? I can't imagine it's cheap to mail it back to them, and will need a computer for my new job. ...

Does anyone use a Mac for medical transcription with Windows XP and MT software that requires nothing newer than XP? Also any experience with Windows XP and Medrite XL on a newer computer using Windows 7 and virtual xp? Needing advice before replacing my old computer, which I'm afraid might give out. I would just load XP but supposedly will be transferring to software compatible with Windows 7 sometime in the future. Any ideas appreciated. ...

came by FedEx today. Had no idea they were sending this. I quit or decided not to go with them from AT yesterday. Would think they would let me know they were sending a new computer. What a joke, glad I am not staying. Think they got so big they have no idea what's going on. ...

How do I change the color on DocQscribe from that blinding bright background to nice soft gray? I have no clue how on this machine and my eyes get too sore with the white. Also, how do I turn off all sounds, if anyone knows. Thanks in advance. ...

Got my new computer. Got my flash drive. Want to transfer my favorites, my documents to the new computer. I got the favorites transferred, but can't get the documents. Went to My Documents, Properties, Move to, but according to some instructions I read, it's supposed to ask you are you sure you want to move? or something like that. I never got that question and can't get them moved. Really technically challenged. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I really need so ...

My old computer died a couple of weeks ago and I had to go out and purchase a new one with Windows 7. Right now, I am able to use a backup computer that I got from the company, but really want to use my new one with the larger monitor, but I'm having trouble loading DQS 6 onto this new machine. Anybody know off the top of their heads if these are compatible? ...

MM sent me a letter, tried to say they never received my old computer back which was replaced back in JUNE!! They didn't realize that I'm not a moron and I kept the receipt, because I know what kind of people I'm working for. So if anyone receives new equipment, make sure you keep the receipt when you send the old stuff back, because months later, they will get around to accusing you of stealing their worthless piece of crap equipment that is infected with viruses and ...

My computer is probably ten years old and has become VERY slow. I have cleaned it and defragged it (Not sure if that helped or not) but I desperately need a new one. I have a newer one here that I could use, but this one has ten years worth of expanders, tips, shortcuts, etc. How do you even transition over to a new computer, is it as hard as it sounds? ...

When the Q supplies the computer, don't they send a monitor? Just got the tower, keyboard and mouse. ...

I am a new hire at Transcend and would like to use a laptop for work as I visit my kids a lot. What would be the best laptops to buy? Would appreciate if you included the exact name of the laptop and the processor speed. I know they have minimum requirements but I have read that one could get away with different kinds of processors (even lower speeds) as long as the laptop is just used for work. Thanks! ...

any opinions? I know lap tops monitors are small but......might like the portability of working somewhere else beside the h***l hole of my office. ...
