How do I use my mac on an airplane?

HAHAHAHAHAHA!! Sorry to laugh, but that was hilarious!
To answer, it may be best to leave this determination to the airline. I think overall it's been known that the vast majority of electronic devices have no effect on airplanes, but for the sake of remote possibilities and safety it's best to keep them off during crucial times such as takeoff and landing, etc., or whenever the crew asks you to.
If you feel the need to do more, you can turn off the WiFi and Bluetooth services when you are otherwise allowed to use the system. Just don't pull an Alec Baldwin.

  • How legal use Mac System Fonts on Windows? (eula truly invalid in Europe)?

    How can i legal use Mac OS 7 or X System Fonts on Windows?
    I plan to buy an old broken LC / Quadra or used Mac OS X CD and copy the Mac OS System Fonts to the Windows Machine.
    I dont't understand the Mac OS X eula and can't find the Mac OS 7 eula on the web.
    I heared the Apple Mac OS eula is invalid and irrelevant in europe.
    (incompatible with european antitrust and consumer protection law)
    PS: I know already, how i can convert dfont to truetype. It's no technical problem.

    Just save.  There is no difference in files between platforms.
    There are some Windows-centric font formats that aren't portable, by any OpenType or TrueType font will be portable between platforms.

  • I want to buy an ipad to teach others how to use ipads.  I would like to also teach people how to use Mac Air.  would i be able to do cross train others based on the ipad ?

    As a trainer i would like to train others how to work with either of these tools - the ipad or the Mac Air.
    Starting out in the world of Mac as i embark on this journey i want to ensure the path i choose will work.
    in other words, based on the experience i gain with the Ipad, can i transfer this knowledge to helping others manage a Mac Air - essentially the operating system, managing files, the desktop, multitasking with apps
    i do not want to buy both the ipad and the Mac Air.
    thank you for any advice

    The iPad and Mac computers use different operating systems : iOS for iPads (and iPhones and iPod Touches) and OS X for Mac computers. They operate in different ways - Macs have a desktop and a file system, iPads (with the sandboxed iOS) have apps with content stored within the apps (and no file system).

  • How to use Mac Mini Server as media server

    I recently purchased a Mac Mini Server and want to make it my media center accessed by my TV.
    This is what I have on my network:
    1x Mac Book Pro
    3x Mac Books
    4x iPhones (2x iPhone 4, 2x iPhone 3Gs)
    1x iPad
    1x 1TB external Drive
    1x Time Capsule 500 Gig
    I want to figure out a way to easily put all the Video/Photos and Music onto the Mac Mini Server from all phones, computers and iPad.  I then want to be able to watch them from my TV.
    I then want all the devices to be able to see the videos/photos from them in real time if needed.
    Does anyone know how to accomplish this?
    Thanks,
    Darren

    iCloud when available later this year will help a lot. However in the mean time the only option is to either
    sync all the iPhones/iPads to their computers
    copy all the libraries on to your Mac mini and then import them in to the master library
    login via file sharing to each computer and then import them in to the master library
    use FireWire Target Disk mode and import them in to the master library

  • How to use Mac Mini as web hosting server?

    Hi,
    I would like to use my mac mini as a web hosting server.
    I have a few domains that I want to host on my mac mini.
    How do I configure/setup the mac mini?
    Best,
    Leo

    yes, a little. it's nice for people not used to setting up from source or doing tons of stuff in the command line. it installs like any other mac application & puts a nice control pane in system preferences. plus, you can set up for updates to keep everything current with patches.
    I'm not sure how to handle the multiple domains, but whatever you find on apache that covers this should also or mostly apply to you too.

  • How to use .mac email address after upgrade to iCloud.

    HI
    Just wondering the following.
    I have an old mac.com email address..  Can I still use it in any capacity?  What I am thinking is to be able to have an email sent to my mac.com email address forwarded to my gmail account.  Is this possible and if so how?
    Thanks and I look forward to your reply.

    If you use iCloud in Mail, all iCloud mail will include the main address and all aliases. They show in the same account, but with the different addresses.
    If you use the main forwarding address in the general preferences of Mail at the iCloud site, then all messages to all iCloud addresses will forward to gmail.
    If you only want to forward one of the addresses, go to the rules tab and create a rule to forward the .mac address to gmail.
    You said: I am using gmail on my iphone/ipad so I do not need to sync my mail.
         Do you not want the .mac or .me account on your phone and iPad?
    You said: What I am trying to achieve here is just to have a mac.com account.  My concern is I do not want to get it confused with the me.com address.  Given that is it possible to have a mac.com email account that will work?
    Where are you using the .me account and what for? How do you want to separate them so you don't get confused? If you only want a .mac account, what happened to gmail?
    I'm sorry. It appears there is a minor translation barrier. I am not understanding what you need to accomplish and I'm getting confused.
    Maybe you could explain as simple as possible all what you want to show in Mail on the computer, iPhone, and iPad and what you want to sync together.
    Glenn I am sorry for the confusion.  The joys of email.
    I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do. Do you want the .mac address forwarded to gmail and not the .me address?
         Yes I want to forward the .mac address to my gmail account  The reason I have the .me address is because Apple forced this on me when I signed up for the icloud when it first came out.  They would not let me use another account. I would have prefered the .mac account but as I said I had no choice.
    You said: I am using gmail on my iphone/ipad so I do not need to sync my mail.
         Do you not want the .mac or .me account on your phone and iPad?
        I do not want either account on my iPhone or iPad for email.  I use my gmail account for my email.  I have gmail defined as an exchange account on the iPhone/iPad in order to push email to my devices.  I just want to have a .mac email address that people can send emails to.  My intention is to forward the .mac emails to my gmail.
    So I guess my problem boils down to how I can have the mac.com address (which is defined on Apple) forward any emails to my gmail account.
    I hope I am making this clearer for you to understand.  Maybe I am trying to do something that is not possible?  Maybe I am making this more complicated than it really i?.  The concept is simple.  Apple just makes it difficult to do it.
    I look forward to hearing back from you.

  • How to use .mac/.me alias w/ iPhone mail?

    My primary mail client is Apple Mail, and I have a .mac/.me address with several aliases.  On my desktop it is easy to choose which alias I wish to appear in the "sent" field.  I can not find out how to do this, however, when sending mail from my iPhone.  Instead, the sent field always shows the primary "parent" email address.  Can this be changed?  Thank you.

    First and foremost, everything will work better if you can make a direct video connection from the mini to the display device. That's the smoothest path to a solution and what most people do to avoid the type of problem your setup is experiencing.
    Another option, if you really want to pass the video through the receiver, is to use a product like Gefen's DVI Detective to trick the mini into thinking it has a continuous connection to the display, even though it is being interrupted by a switch in the receiver.
    I'm pretty sure there is no terminal command to invoke "Detect Displays" but a clever fellow figured out a way to script the GUI command and assign it to a button on the keyboard, so you could try that and see if it works for you. Below is a link. You'll want to ignore the first part and skip straight to where the script is mentioned.
    http://www.123macmini.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=17214&highlight=
    Maybe you could turn the script into a chron job. But doesn't the TV's input have to be tied to the mini's output through the receiver in order for the Detect Displays command to have the desired effect? If that is the case, I don't see how the chron job would help if the TV were set to receive input from another box through the receiver.
    I'm not sure about Front Row death, but it could be related to the mini losing track of the display owing to the switching that is going on. Maybe avoiding the switch will cure the Front Row problem. Good luck.

  • HT201358 How to use MAC as Virtual machine to access parallelly

    I'm planning to buy MAC, How can I use it as a virtual machine for three users parallely with different user name and password.

    http://macs.about.com/od/usingyourmac/qt/Mac-Screen-Sharing.htm
    OS X 10.8 allows users to connect to individual screen sharing sessions. You will need a VNC application for your Windows system.
    Since this is not a question about Apple Remote Desktop, which is an application from Apple for managing networked Macs, should you have further questions I'd suggest you ask in the OS X 10.8 forum.

  • How to use Mac Mini's and HD Freeview to capture raw TV satellite feeds in NEW ZEALAND?

    Hello, this is my first post on this kind of forum - I am not very tech savy so go easy on me! Ideally I am hoping someone can offer some constructive advice.
    I am part of a business that captures television off air as part of an ongoing contract. The system was implemented years ago and consists of 12 capture chains which are set-top cable boxes. They are a mix of Freeview NZ (free) and Sky TV (pay) - both on Satellite (Optus B1 I believe). The boxes are connected to Eye TV 250 boxes which are running through mini mac's (Mac OS X 10.5.4) that all have 1TB drives attached.
    We are capturing two hour scheduled harvest stream blocks, and editing the individual programmes out manually, for an average of 15 hours - equivalent to 27GB, per capture chain, per day. While this system works ok it is very labour intensive and we would like to make the system more automated. There are also a few issues which I would really appreciate some guidance or suggestions on:
    1/ Eye TV turns the digital signal from the decoder to analog and then back out to digital again because we are using S-video composite cables. Ideally we would like to capture HD Raw signal with little or no compression at all. We could upgrade to the Eye TV HD box but would prefer not to because.....
    2/ ...Eye TV creates a proprietary file format (Eye TV specific file) that requires exportation to play in QT or VLC and while you can export as MP4 this takes a considerable amount of time. Up to 7 hours for 1 hour of capture - far to slow for our requirements. Therefore we export as a Mpeg Program Stream which slightly compresses the file and spits out an Mpeg 2. IDEALLY we would be creating H.264 files
    3/ We can only export up to 2 hours, 15 minutes of capture (any more than that and the file goes dead (black) from that point on).
    4/ Because we are in little old NZ, Eye TV (North American) won't pick up the local EPG (Electronic Programming Guide). This means all the scheduling has to be done manually and the meta data is not captured.
    So ultimately we would like a system that captures television with little or no compression of the digital signal, in an H.264 format, with the New Zealand EPG (Electronic Programming Guide) available for both scheduling and metadata, that fits within a Mac system, is not Eye TV (or does not create software specific files) AND is cost effective.
    Goodluck.

    Hello & welcome to the foruns!
    Maybe I can help with one facet...
    Just a quick note for people who use Elgato’s EyeTV on their Macs in New Zealand. I’ve got an Automator script here that will fetch a TV schedule and load it into EyeTV. It takes care of deleting the file it downloads but you might need to open it (use the Automator program) to change where it downloads to.

  • How to use mac's full screen functionality with Adobe acrobat XI?

    I recently switched to mac, so font have  much experience with this.
    My adobe reader is missing mac's full screen functionality (the two arrows on right that make mac fullscreen).
    so, if i have three pdfs open, i cannot switch between them using the 4 finger swipe..
    Please note that this is different from the adobe functionality (command + L) which allows it to become fullscreen, but it still occupies the desktop and so, i cannot swipe between different pdfs.
    Thank you!

    Nope that is just the way it is with Mac OS X and the way Apple has setup the dual screen system.

  • How to use Mac formatted ipod in windows

    Hey all,
    I'm trying to transfer files i backed up to my ipod to my windows laptop but it's asking me to format the ipod first correct me if im wrong but won't that wipe out all the info in the ipod and if so is there a work around i wanna transfer docs/pics/tunes to my pc as my mac is in for repairs. Any thoughts?

    If you need to use a Mac (HFS+) formatted iPod on a Windows PC, you'll need to install some 3rd party software such as XPlay 2.0 (which you can get from MediaFour Software). This will enable your Windows PC to read a Mac-formatted iPod.

  • Networking question; How to use MAC address to find out IP address.

    Hi there,
    I want to discover the IP address of an attached device (Netgear switch) on my network. I know it's MAC address – can I use this to get the IP address?
    Thanks in advance

    Short for Media Access Control address, a hardware address that uniquely identifies each node of a network. In IEEE 802 networks, the Data Link Control (DLC) layer of the OSI Reference Model is divided into two sublayers: the Logical Link Control (LLC) layer and the Media Access Control (MAC) layer. The MAC layer interfaces directly with the network medium. Consequently, each different type of network medium requires a different MAC layer.
    On networks that do not conform to the IEEE 802 standards but do conform to the OSI Reference Model, the node address is called the Data Link Control (DLC)
    I have a feeling you might have the term MAC Address confused
    Depending on the device you are using it may be that you can type in 192.168.1.1 and hit return key, and it will give you the Router Utility and this can give you the assigned IP Addresss to external devices, if the router is used.
