I know this has been done to death, but I JUST SWITCHED!!!

I just can't get over how cool Macs really are. I just got this here Mini and even though it has 256 MB Ram and Panther on the hard drive, it is STILL leaps and bounds better than what I had. Lemme fill you in on my history a minute... I bought a PC as a first computer about 8 months ago and it was mistake #1! Winblows EX-PEE worked fine at first, but even though I spent (wasted) over $200 in virus and spyware protection and internal firewall-which was mistake #2, it got slower, and sloowwer, and sllllooooowwwwweeeerrr. And some programs just stopped working. I never used Linux before and knew absolutely nothing about it. So I said "What the hey? For $15 I get a new, more stable OS" So I did it. Mistake#3!!! Install was a little tricky, but not bad. Sure it was virus-free and spyware-free and nearly crash-proof, but that is where the pros END! Cons: Many websites wouldnt load up pictures and this OS was the most un-user friendly I had ever experienced! Installing new software and programs required an iq of 1000 and a couple of IT degrees from MIT!!!
Now before I got this PC from Wally-World (yes you can laugh at me) I had been to Best Buy a couple of times and had my eye on an I Mac. It was out of my price range, but the mini wasn't. And I just couldnt believe HOW SMALL it was! The PC was like $150 cheaper. What a mistake I have learned, but I now know exactly WHY Macs are so much better! So if anyone reading this is considering on getting a Mac, then save up your change and SWITCH!!! I HAVE NOT REGRETTED IT AND NIETHER WILL YOU!
And Tiger did come with my Mini, but I wont install it until I get more RAM, since it it very RAM-hungry.
MAC CONVERT AND USER FOR LIFE!

Drool on here, welcome to Mac by the way. The water is much better on this side.

How can i increase the height of the navigation toolbar to make my persona more visible? adding toolbars puts them all below the navi bar and it looks weird. i know this has been asked many times but the answer's always "add toolbars".

So, I know this has been asked before. But, has anyone heard from Apple?

So, I know this has been asked before, but I'm just looking to see if anyone had heard from Apple on this at all. The minimum volume on my iPod Classic 160gb is too high, and I can't lower it. (AKA when I kill the volume, I can still hear music).
I called them today, but the rep was pretty useless. He even dropped the "well, just press pause" line on me. Took him a while to understand that when I'm in bed or studying, etc. the minimum volume is too loud, and I wanted to be able to set it lower.
The best workaround I've found so far is to buy headphones with their own volume control, but I just can't help but feel that someone shouldn't have to by additonal gear after buying this thing on account of such a basic feature exclusion.
Anyways, thanks for any help !

Wow, easy there company boy!
I've heard all of what you spit up before. And for your point of "Well, in several cases, people have complained (here in these discussion pages), that they expect the volume to be zero when turned to minimum position" that kind of ties in to why Apple should fix this.
And yeah....it's pretty much a given that "you and I have different interpretations of what constitues too loud" This is where the option to adjust the minimum volume comes in to play. (I relly feel bad for you. Honestly. Having to live everyday of your life this way must be just brutal)
The wording would be pretty simple too. " Be aware there are many instances of the minimum volume being too loud, so think twice before dropping a few hundred bucks on this"
And, you're right. It is horrible to 'whine' about being ripped off and asking if there is a possible fix for the issue. I really do apologize for that. I should just suck it up and not voice my opinion that this is not fair to consumers, and Apple shouldn't fix a known issue with a product.
I did reset & restore, I figured that was pretty much implied since I said I spoke to Support.
And I am not at all surprised that you would say "I - for one - am not surprised that Apple might say, "simply hit the pause button"." Again, I don't want it on muteReading your post made my eye twitch at least three times.
This is exactly the reason I was resitant to post on a forum. But, I got a good laugh anyways. Thanks guy!

This has been beaten to death, but...

...I need to express my disgust. Flash on the iPhone!
I plan on posting a similar post on Adobes forums after this.
It seems to me that this whole thing is political. I don't mean dem/rep political. If an iPhone can play Super Monkey Ball, tell me where my friends are, let me get meeting reminders and look up someone in my enterprise of over 4000 users instantly, then it can freakin' run Flash! Take a step back and do what's right for the consumer!!!! Oh and copy and paste would be nice too.

No, it's more that Adobe doesn't have the talent or skill of a Sega or an Electronic Arts. They've been doing amazing things with limited hardware on portable platforms for years. The closest Adobe has ever gotten to their level of expertise is a severely scaled down Flash Lite. Flash Lite will not display content like you'd find at, say the cartoon network website, so it's not even a workable solution.
Maybe if Adobe were to hire some games programmers, they'd learn how to write quick efficient code that would allow Flash not only on the iPhone, but a myriad other portable devices as well.

I know this has been asked multiple times but there still hasn't been an answer: my iTunes 10.2.2 will freeze my entire mac upon opening...

... and it's been doing this for a while. PLEASE, I need a solution. It started off (many moons ago) as occasional freezing when listening to music and then one day it froze and stayed frozen. So I restarted my computer and after that, iTunes was never the same. I deleted the version I had and downloaded the newest version. At first, it took a whole night (and by night I mean 12 hours or so) to put all my music back in iTunes and once that was done it would attempt to determine the gapless playback. After a while the number it would reach before it froze got smaller and smaller until it just stopped trying and froze my whole computer the minute I opened it. I mean, I can't click on ANYTHING once the iTunes icon stops bouncing. iTunes will pop up and then that's it for my computer. I tried leaving it alone for an extended period of time to see if it would unfreeze itself and it doesn't.
PLEASE, I need a solution, as I'm sure many other people do as well. All I see are threads about similar issues with no solution handy. I've repaired disk permissions, I've deleted the little com.apple.iTunes whatever that I was supposed to delete (and it ALMOST helped but didn't really), I've reinstalled and reinstalled, and it gets so frustrating because nothing is working.

Your example uses straight text links. Nothing fancy, no complicated JavaScripts are used. Just a lot of manual linking.

I know this has been asked several times but I never saw an answer,

What can you do if you get this error:
Podcast was not copied to ipod because it cannot be played on this ipod.
I am using the latest firmware upgrade and itunes. I bought my ipod touch last week so it already had the January upgrade.
I changed all to acc format. Then reversed the unicode on the ID3 tags Like a Apple herlp screen suggested. I reset the ipod and then restored. Can any one else give any other suggestions.

Hi Clamo!
Well, I think I know what's your problem. If you donwloaded this podcast from iTunes Store, then you can only sync it to your iPod, if the Podcast has the perfect format for iPod! So you can't sync HD Podcasts or Large size... You need to download iPod size podcasts or over the correspondent "Convert Selection to iPod/iPhone". Then, you'll be able to sync it with your iPod Touch

I'm burning dvd's that won't play on a regular dvd player. What am I doing wrong? Are there some simple things to check to figure this out? (Sorry, I know this has been asked many times)

I'm burning dvd's that won't play on a regular dvd player. What am I doing wrong? They play fine on computers but not on dvd players. Are there some simple things to check to figure this out? (Sorry, I know this has been asked many times). Created in DVD studio pro.

Hi
Just my thoughts to add to the excellent answers above.
• BRAND of DVD used - Matters when doing Video-DVDs
Memorex, NoName etc cheap brands usually do NOT work
I only Use Verbatim (more organic dye in these)
• Type of DVD - matters
- DVD+/RW - usually results in problems
- DL-DVDs are more problematic than SL-DVDs
- DVD+R are a more modern sort - BUT PLAYS BADLY or not at all on older DVD-players
I only use DVD-R
• BURN SPEED - matters
- Best in iDVD app - IS NOT BEST at all but results in lot's of Burn Errors = Doesn't play well or at all
I set this down to x2 or x4 max.
Yours Bengt W

I know this has been asked before But I Deleted 6 mths worth of Bookmark folders, Cant use Undo,

I know this has been asked before But I Deleted 10 mths worth of Bookmark folders, Cant use Undo & havent backed up (live & learn) Someone posted do a restore from "Import & Backup" My listing in Restore is only 2010-6-29 back to 2010-6-22. Is this the way to go to retrieve as much as possible or is there another solution?

Those dates are when a backup was automatically made by Firefox, not dates when you saved specific bookmarks. Try restoring the backup from the day before you deleted all those bookmarks. It will restore the entire backup file - not just what you deleted, you will lose any bookmarks that you saved after the date of the file you restore.

Video on Mac to Storm...I know this has been covered!

Sorry, I know this has been covered, but it has a ton of things I can not use....or understand.
I am on a mac. I have some movie previews that are in a .mov format. I had uderstood I need to convert them into .mp4 format....I did this in Quicktime....and exprteded them a few different ways....but every time I go to play them they break up and get all pixialated!
I have a 16g card, and I am putting them in the Videos folder on the chip through usb reader.....what am I doing wrong?!
Thanks

It was magical. I did something to my router, I'm not sure what, and iChat now connects to Windows machines with audio/video. I think the problem is very specific to what type of router you have.

I know this has been posted a few times but, High Pitch noises!!!!!!!!!

I keep getting wierd high pitch noises from the MOBO, I have tried to push in the MSI plate on the NB but it didn't stop the noise. But what I have found out stops it is kind of wierd.
If I go into any Windows Explorer window and right click on certain icons, (i.e. C: Hard Drive, the nVidia Ethernet Adapter, or my DVD-RW) the noise stops suddenly, but if I click off of the right click menu the noise starts back up again. I don't get it? Also if I use my mouse wheel and scrol up and down rapidly, the sound stops while I am scrolling, but once I stop it comes back.
I know that this has been posted a few times, but I still haven't found any way to stop the noise other than the ways above. So if anyone has/had the same problem and knows how to fix it, I would really appreciate it if you would share.
EDIT: I have also tried to return my CPU to stock speeds but there is still a noise.

Im sure this noise, is the copper coils around the components near the cpu socket.. its a known problem on MSI boards, where they start to resernate / vibrate.
I've seen two solutions, neither have i tried, as I don't have the problem, but they are pretty harmless.
one is to apply a small amount of superglue over the copper coils, allow to set and switch back on,, or a safer way (in my opinion) is to use some wax (or electical sealing wax).

I know this can be done with javascript, but how precisely?

Hi there, I have a personal art website that I've been having trouble with. The website in question is http://www.aidenart.com. The issue that I'm dealing has to do with the concept art page which you can click on using the top navigation bar. On that page there are thumbnails of images and when you click on any one of those image thumbnails you should be taken to a new WEB PAGE with the full image on it. The fact that the link brings you to a new web page is important.   On each of the web pages that shows the full image I want to provide some navigation for the visitor to use. There's going to be a button that will link back to the main concept art page and a jump menu that will let the visitor go to any of the other concept art pages that they want. Both of those things I already know how to do. The thing is I also want put in NEXT and PREVIOUS buttons that will allow the visitor to go to the next or previous page in the list of concept art pages even if they've never visited the page before.
I know this can be done because I've seen other websites that have it. I took a look at their source code and most of them seem to be using some sort of javascript code with an onClick or onChange behavior. If someone could just help me find the basic coding for making this happen in Dreamweaver with maybe at least two or three pages then I could probably figure the rest out from there.
The last time I asked this forum about this problem everyone seemed to think that I wanted to create an image gallery, but I don't. I want the visitor to be able to cycle through the WEB PAGES that have the image and might have more images in the future, not just the images themselves. And using some sort of code that has to do with the web browser's history isn't going to do what I want.
Here's some code from other websites that I found using just what I want to accomplish.
<TD ALIGN=RIGHT><INPUT TYPE=BUTTON Value=' < Prev ' onClick="self.location='/s/3112627/1/Yami_no_Game_Dark_Saga'"> <SELECT title='chapter navigation' Name=chapter onChange="self.location = '/s/3112627/'+ this.options[this.selectedIndex].value + '/Yami_no_Game_Dark_Saga';"><option value=1 >1.

             </TR>
The first example is from http://www.fanfiction.net/.   If you click on any of the stories there that have more than one chapter then you should see code somewhere that looks like the above example. This type of navigation, which can be seen in the upper right corner of stories that use it, is exactly what I've been trying to accomplish for quite some time now.
Here's another example.
<form method="" action="" name="hero_form">
         <select name="hero_choices" onChange="swap_hero(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value);">
         <option value='1'>Jeran</option><option value='2'>Space Faerie</option><option value='3'>Fyora</option><option value='4'>Lisha</option><option value='5' SELECTED>Illusen</option><option value='6'>Kayla</option><option value='7'>King Skarl</option><option value='8'>Psellia</option><option value='9'>Jhuidah</option><option value='10'>The Soup Faerie</option><option value='11'>Hannah</option><option value='12'>Master Vex</option><option value='13'>Galgarroth</option><option value='14'>Cylara</option><option value='15'>Gorix</option><option value='16'>Commander Gormos</option><option value='17'>King Kelpbeard</option><option value='18'>Swordmaster Talek</option><option value='19'>Garin</option><option value='20'>Jacques</option><option value='21'>General Dacon</option><option value='22'>Nabile</option><option value='23'>Tomos</option><option value='24'>Armin</option><option value='25'>Judge Hog</option><option value='26'>Hanso</option>
         </select>
     </form>
     </center>
     <table width="200" border=0 align=center>
         <tr>
             <td align=center>
                                     <a href='showhero.phtml?hero=4'><img src="http://images.neopets.com/galleryofheroes/goh_left_arrow.gif" border=0 width=80 height=80></a>
                             </td>
             <td align=center><a href='../hero.phtml'><img src="http://images.neopets.com/galleryofheroes/goh_home.gif" width=50 height=50 border=0></a></td>
             <td align=center>
                                     <a href='showhero.phtml?hero=6'><img src="http://images.neopets.com/galleryofheroes/goh_right_arrow.gif" border=0 width=80 height=80></a>
With this example the website even used images as the buttons instead of just simple input buttons. I'd like to use my own images for buttons if I can.
My computer is a Macbook with the most recent operating system (as far as I know) and I have Dreamweaver CS5 installed on my computer.

My issue over ppc or intel (i know this topic has been done to death.. but.

Ok...so here is my dilema. Recently at the new apple store up here in the great white north..... and I got to thinking.... that the new imac's are simply intel technology, wrapped up in a mac. Intel technology that CONSISTENTLY breaks down in PC's! One of my main reasons for switching from pc to mac, was to escape the constant blue screens and loss of data from those wretched machines. It just became ridiculous. So I sort of feel that mac has adopted a technology proven to breakdown.
I'm not sure if this topic has been discussed before...so I apologize if it has. I understand the new intels are faster, quieter..etc.. but i'm still left with the basic thought that my pc's ALWAYS broke down, and now mac has gone down the same road.
Any advice or education on this topic would be appreciated.
Thanks

Don't buy into the FUD that pro-PPC guys are spewing. As Marty says, it is not the hardware, but the software that causes problems in PCs.
Mac OX X is the most stable and virus resistant desktop OS on the market and a switch to Intel CPU does nothing to change that.

I'd like to go back to a specific date in my messages? I know this has been asked billions of times.

(Specifically April 30 of 2013) but I text a lot so pressing "load earlier messages" isn't an option. Is there anyway I could load the messages on my computer, or is there an app that I could use to search by date? I could get them off my iphone or ipad.

Hi,
The iPhone (iOS Device) and the Mac will only Sync from the day that both start using the same App ID or OS X 10.8.2 whichever is the earlier.
The "Sync" as Apple calls it was different before this time.
The "Sync" is only "Display on all Devices" and does not involve anything else (if you delete a message on one device it remains on the other)
The iMessages are "pushed" at the devices that have the Apple ID or iPhone number and when the iMessages has been sent that is it.
It will not re-sync if you remove the iMessage.
I really don't use iMessages on my iPhone enough to even try "Load earlier Messages".
If you have synced (Backup) the iPhone onto the Mac using iTunes it is apparently possible to extract the messages from the Backup.
However I don't sync this way and don't know the names of the apps involved.

i know i know! many people have posted about this. i have been working with this error for quite a time now and i was happily waiting for apple to solve this. there is still no change and it is getting VERY annoying that apple is not doing something about it!
is there any plan that this error will be removed or will it stay forever?

The continuing issue of this login error has been an on-going discussion in "The Lounge". The Hosts are very much aware of it, so all of us need to be patient.
