Arlo left a comment for Fanny Sosenke"Hi Fanny,
We too are experiencing the loss of orientation using Smartboards as well. We are using Snowleopard with a new model MacBook. With the newer Macbooks we are seeing the most issues. We have also had Smart Software crash leaving our…"
Arlo replied to Ann's discussion Text appears as mirror image in the group SMART Mac Users"Had the same issue a few months back. We sorted through the preferences and noticed that this is in fact a "feature" of sorts. You can adjust the way the text appears. We couldn't imagine why we would use setting but there is a…"
Arlo commented on Michele Goshko's group SMART Mac Users"Jessamyn,
Do you have the latest SB software and firmware installed? I updated a few mac computers and the issues such as the one you are describing have become fewer. Also, are you on Snow leopard? This has also caused issue, although SmartTech…"
Arlo replied to Lindsey Steinhouse's discussion Smartboard takes a while to respond after first orient in the group SMART Mac Users"Which version of Smartboard Drivers and Firmware are you using, which OS and computer model.

Arlo commented on Michele Goshko's group SMART Mac Users"Hello Javier,
Have you tried looking through the Smart Control Panels? We found that upon updating one computer's SB software the writing in notebook was upside down! This was a preference in Control Panel. The students thought it was great,…"

Arlo commented on Michele Goshko's group SMART Mac Users"Upon updating the firmware and smart software on two teacher's laptops we are receiving positive feedback. Our (tech department) tests on a fresh laptop and board were very very positive. Crisp writing, good response, solid connection. I am…"
Arlo commented on Michele Goshko's group SMART Mac Users"We finally have a copy of the latest firmware 5.1.1.0
Will try to update and see what happens.
If you are having issues and call Smart please ask for the Firmware updater and SMARTUninstaller.app

Arlo commented on Michele Goshko's group SMART Mac Users"To all.
Smart has unveiled a "cleaner" utility which scrubs old system files. This is one layer deeper than un-installing the old software. It was an attachment from Smart Tech - if you call Smart ask them to send it along."
Arlo commented on Michele Goshko's group SMART Mac Users"Hi Nancy,
Before updating the 100 computers I would suggest (from experience) to download the newest software - *as well as firmware update - and install on a spare computer. Let a teacher try this computer for a few days to catch bugs. We found a…"
Arlo commented on Michele Goshko's group SMART Mac Users"You may need to uninstall the old smartboard software first. Then install the newest as a fresh install instead of an update.
for me: I downloaded the update and ran it from the desktop because my SB UPDATER didn't pick up any new software…"
Tony Jamesbarry replied to Arlo's discussion Smart Tech Response to Apple Users in the group SMART Mac Users"Obe,
Smarttech sent me a list of things to do (very similar to yours) I followed all methods that they prescribed, including the running the "cleanup" app.
I posted the email from smarttech here.
I highly recommend if you're having…"
Obe Hostetter replied to Arlo's discussion Smart Tech Response to Apple Users in the group SMART Mac Users"I would contact Smarttech at 1.866.518.6791. They have excellent service and answer the phone quickly. Another option is to try a clean install of Notebook by:

Tony Jamesbarry replied to Arlo's discussion Smart Tech Response to Apple Users in the group SMART Mac Users"I just downloaded today new update, but sadly Notebook still crashes upon launch every time.
Tools are working, but I really need the Notebook software to work.
I'm ready to jump ship after 5 years of use.
My school has a site license for…"
Arlo replied to Arlo's discussion Smart Tech Response to Apple Users in the group SMART Mac Users"Igor,
