What is the best and easiest way to speed up a Mac-MINI?

What is the best and easiest way to speed up a Mac Mini without adding memory?

I'd tried to reply yesterday to your question but for some reason it didn't go anywhere and I got a red message box in the Discussion post area with "error." After trying three times, including log-out, clear cookies from browser (and history) and back in, I still was unable to add my post with links to resources for your Mini, here. And the last time I tried that, the copied text also went missing as I found it gone after considering to make a Text document of it, for later posting.
Anyway, the http://iFixit.com site has guides on how to replace RAM in the computer you have. Note there are different models shown and from what I remember, yours is the last 'old look' Mini with an optical drive. The model after that is thin, a 2010 model with slot in front for discs; the next one has no internal optical drive.
RAM specs: 2 - 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM (replace pair) up to 8GB total. Best price would be an online vendor of repute, once you know about what they sell for, you could ask a local mac expert if they could get you a better than retail price. I get ram from OEMPCworld and shipping is about $1. including insurance to my post office box, priority or 1st class. At about half retail. Crucial (website) offers parts, too; and so does OWC (other world computing).
In addition, I recommended checking into the build specs and quality of the OWC (esales) site for external enclosures with their own power supply, for hard disk drive; for storage and bootable clones on different partitions. And see about Bombiche Carbon copy cloner, it is a commercial product now, not donationware. I've used it successfully to make competely bootable clones on a suitable external HDD (drive should have own power supply, too) A 750GB HDD in a self-powered enclosure that can boot Mac OS X from a clone, is a good start on backing up your upgraded OSX in a way you can clone it back into an empty, wiped or new HDD inside the computer; and it can run from the external. You can't necessarily use a TimeMachine that way.
This should be your Mini -- check other indicators to be sure:

A serial number lookup site such as the one I end up using because I had it bookmarked is OK: http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php & also have mactracker http://mactracker.ca
Anyway, before I time out or exceed post content(?) This is not all I meant to write before.
Good luck & happy computing!

PowerPoint 2010 arrows in series lines was displayed reversely between the edit mode and the slide show

I encounter a strange problem with the column chart in PowerPoint 2010 (or maybe the combinations of Excel 2010 and PowerPoint 2010). The directions of the arrows in Series Lines display in the reverse direction between the edit mode and the Slide
Show.
Here are the steps to recreate this phenomenon:
Open a new Presentation > Insert > Chart > Column > Stacked Column > Press OK
Excel pops up. Close Excel and return to PowerPoint.
Click on the chart > Layout > Lines > Select "Series Lines"
Right click on the lines and select "Format Series Lines"
Line Style > End Type > Choose "Stealth Arrow"
(well, could not paste an image yet... arrows display like <--)
When F5 was pressed (Slide Show)
(well, could not paste an image yet... arrows display like -->)
If you look closely at the directions of the arrows, they are display in the reverse directions. Anyone is having the same issue?
Thanks!
Chen

Hi，
Based on my tested both of the PowerPoint 2010 and
PowerPoint 2013, I reproduced the issue in my environment.
If I choose the End Type> Stealth Arrow(---->), it showed "<-----" in "Normal mode", but showed the "---->" in "Slide Show mode". It seems display correctly in "Slide Show mode".
We have definitely heard your frustration, and we're thinking about ways to make this scenario work better for our customers. Please wait for the issue is fixed. Thanks.

How do you create a smart album so that you can look at and edit slide show fashion instead of one at a time?

Is the Apple program always this convoluted every time something new is rolled out to roll over someone?

Sorry but I have no idea what you're asking. What s "look and edit slide show fashion"? Where does a Smart Album fit into that? You know you can move from shot to shot using the arrow keys, right?

My Apple TV stops and returns to main menu during movie playback and photo slide show via homesharing. I have a second Apple TV in another room that works fine.

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.

My photos are sharp but become soft when used in and IDVD slide show.

My photos are sharp but become soft when used in and IDVD slide show. How can I prevent this from happining??

Hi,
I suggest that you try unchecking both of the crop options - landscape & portrait.
To re-create your situation, I had to check the crop for landscape pictures option.
I prefer to have control over any cropping so I tend to crop each image first before creating the slide show.

What is the best and easiest print app for the iPad and iPhone?

What is the best and easiest print app for the iPad?

Richard-
The best and easiest is to use the iPad's built-in AirPrint system with an AirPrint-capable printer. <iOS: AirPrint 101>
If you do not have an AirPrint-capable printer, all printing Apps are a compromise. I have an HP non-AirPrint printer connected to my WiFi router. The free HP App, ePrint Home & Biz works OK with photos.
Print n Share and PrintCentral each have their own browser, mail, text and photo programs that work well with the printer, but they can only be accessed from within other programs that have the "Open In" option. (So far, I think GoodReader is the only App I have with that option.)
You can run a program like Printopia or FingerPrint on your computer that will share its printer as AirPrint over WiFi. They both are reported to work well. However your computer must be on and awake any time you want to print. <Printopia for Macintosh> <FingerPrint for PC and Mac>

What is the Best and easiest Photo Dup Software?

What is the best and easiest Duplicate Photo software ?

If you're seeing these duplicate photos in iPhoto itself and NOT via the Finder you can use one of these applications to identify and remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free
Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported into another.
PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
DeCloner - $19.95 - can find dupicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the errant extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

Best and easiest way to Overclock?

Been thinking lately about power management for my phone, with regard to saving the battery when I am not using much, and then maybe getting a bit more oomph when I need it.
What's the best way to achieve this, preferably with a GUI instead of X Terminal and SUDO rights (still a little scared of that one)?
I've installed a few Kernel things and CPU Freq apps too, but I am not sure which is the best and the easiest to implement.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Ceroreoberts: when a new kernel is released is it auto updated? I had no update flashing in the status bar about it. And if we have to update/download manually does it affect our settings or seamlessly integrate in the background?
CPUFreq widget isn't actually meant to drop to 125. I spoke to the developer about it and he thought it was strange mine was at 125 and said it was because i was using a custom kernel, then he updated it and asked me if it still went that low, which it did. Anyway, it always dispalyed 125 but Conky showed it at 250, so i wonder if it just tells 125 on a custom kernel but actually doesn't change the minimum freq
the kernel should autopopulate, though this latest update installed seperately and still left the previous one there with a note to uninstall it.
this is probably because i believe he included thedrives for the fcam support to be integrated in this build rather then a seperate install.
but normally, it does it automatically.
i use xterm alot and just do a quick apt-get upgrade from time to time to check what has been done.
you can also do an apt-get update in xterm and it will update your repos.
as for the cpufreq.....there are two different ones...named very close.
i have both installed.
the first one is cpufrequi.
this one is a drop-down type that i use mostly. and i am not sure, as it doesnt show it, that it auto-drops the low to 125mhz. but conky confirms that. (this may also be because i have both installed)
the other is qcpufreq.
this one has a slider that you can change the high freq from 125mhz-1150mhz. but it actually shows you that the low is automatically 125mhz.
this low freq is most likely because of the kernel i am using, which is very stable, and anyone can install it from the repos as stated above. it is the one that i use.
NOTE- though, i have been forgetting to actually OC my device lately because the black plastic theme is just awesome and fast, especially combined with the custom transitions settings applications all set to 10.

Best codec for slide show?

I'm making some slide shows in Motion 3 w/ the CoreMelt Image Flow plugins. The slide show also has a moving background and sporadic live type fonts. These slide shows will be presented on a 46" HDTV. What is the best codec to use to maintain quality, but not waste space and minimize rendering time. FWIW The original pictures are TIFFs.

In the olden days, we'd print to tape and play the tape. End of story. But if you want to use DVDSP, you've got lots of work ahead. Your delivery will be MPEG2 which is awful and requires careful tweaking of all compression settings. MPEG2 is not pretty on big sets.
Lots of patience and research and experimentation, there is no magic formula, although there is a wealth of information on the Net and locally available in your DVDSP manual.
If you don't have time to work through the weirdly interrelated variables, just use the defaults all the way down the line, lower your expectations.

Aperture and iPhoto Slide Show

I am new to Mac and considering Aperture. I shoot with a Nikon D70s and use mostly jpg and some RAW. After editing in Aperture, would I need to export the images to get them into iPhoto for a slide show; either RAW or jpg?
Not knowing exactly what I am doing, when I download RAW files into my PowerBookPro via iPhoto, they are converted to smaller jpg files. If I use Aperture, will they still be converted upon download?
These may be very basic questions, but I would appreciate the advice.
Thanks.

while the NEF (5.2 mb) was converted to 1.1 mb and a second 36 kb data file.
No it wasn't converted (and you saw it later in the /Originals) that's the preview I referred to above:
iPhoto makes a jpeg Preview of the RAW file,
Photo makes a Thumbnail of everything on import.
The question now, when I see the image in iPhoto and want to make edits in iPhoto and/or Aperture, will it be to the NEF 5.2 mb or jpeg 1.1 mb file?
First: iPhoto (because the two apps may seem similar but are in fact quite different)
It'll be the RAW file. Try it and see. When you edit a RAW there's a badge in the iPhoto Window.
(This is all detailed rather better than I can explain it in the iPhoto Help. Search on RAW) Note that only a camera can make or edit a RAW file, so all your edits in iPhoto are "published" to a jpeg (or tiff if you so elect in the iPhoto preferences.)
This is how iPhoto preserves your Original file.
Aperture is a rather different beast.
When you manipulate a file in Aperture the applications records your decisions in a database and then when you go to look at the file again... it applies your edits live as you open the file. This is how it preserves the original file.
If you want to access the file in another application - for instance add it to a Pages document or whatever, Aperture uses the Preview it creates for this purpose. The Preview is a jpeg of the edited file. However to get full quality versions of your file use one of the many export possibilities.

Simple Slide Show makes all photos landscape. Why?

I am trying to make a simply slide show and all photos are incorporated in "landscape" mode no matter whether they were taken in the usual landscape orientation or in a "portrait," or vertical, orientation. So all the portraits of people where the photo was shot by turning the camera 90 degrees clockwise show the subject horizontally in the slide show. How can I rotate these photos 90 degrees counterclockwise to get them back to the orientation in which they were taken? I opened the Simple Slide Show .PDF in Adobe Acrobat but when I rotate one picture 90 clockwise, all photos in the show are rotated 90 degrees clockwise. John Wirt

Since you said Simple Slide Show, my guess is that you have Elements version 3.
You did not say how if your camera photo files are designating that this was a portrait mode photo. There is an orientation indicator that many (but not all) cameras set indicating that the camera had been turned to portrait orientation when taking the photo.
My experience has been that if the camera is setting this indicator, then when I first view a portrait photo in the photo well, it looks OK. Whereas if the camera does not set this indicator, the photo initially appears on its side and I must rotate it myself.
What did you initially see in the Photo Browser for these photos - as a portrait or on its side?
My suspicion is that there is a bug in the Elements 3 slide show that it is not recognizing this orientation indicator and that is why you see a portrait photo on its side.
If your camera does set the orientation indicator, a circumvention is that before you do any edits on such a photo, in the Organizer Photo Browser well, rotate it 90 degrees one direction and then rotate it back to its original position. Then it will probably appear ok in your simple slide show. This cicrumvention has worked for many people.
