Mac OS X's built-in fax - any good to monitor fax status or re-fax out?

Hi Folks,
Just testing out my new Intel Mac Mini's faxing capabilities. It seems that the faxing status details when I view the fax monitor isn't quite as accurate as I need. For example, after I mistakenly tried to send a fax out via my printer/fax machine, I cancelled it before it finished dialing, but still the status of it showed that it was "Finished".
Because I absolutely need to know whether my faxes got sent properly or not, should I continue to use the very convienient built-in fax software, or opt for another fax program?
Does the built-in fax software also attempt to re-dial the same number to re-fax out if the first try failed? And can you also configure it to attempt X number of times before quitting?
BTW, are there any good free Mac faxing programs available? Thanks.
Intel Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.5)

There are two excellent shareware faxing programs available: Pagesender and FaxCenter. Of the two I prefer and use Pagesender, and it's a universal binary. FaxCenter is cheaper, but hasn't been updated for a while.

Thanks for nothing, as usual, Apple.
I had to redo the whole project from scratch on Windows Movie Maker.
Now I know which brand to trust on my next purchase.

What do you mean by "HD to VGA adapter converter"?
Do you mean have an HDMI to VGA adapter connected the the Mini's HDMI port?
Or maybe you plugged n the the included HDMI to DVI adapter and then connected a DVI to DVI adapter?
In either case that will not work since VGA is analog and the Mini's HDMI port is digital only.
You need to purchase a mini displayport to VGA adapter. It plugs into the Mini's Thunderbolt port.

Make sure you get a name--brand one. I purchased some el cheapo, no-name ones and they did not work

24" iMac any good for games (compared to Mac Pro)

Hi,
I'm on my second Mac Pro and after no end of trouble so i'm hoping to exchange it for a 24" imac but i was wondering if it's any good for games?
I would probably configure it with the 7600gt and maybe the 2.33ghz proccessor.
My mac pro with the x1900xt ran Quake 4 and Doom3 etc at full stettings really well but i've just had to much trouble with it!

The iMac would be fine for games for now, but you are stuck with the configuration that you purchase as there is no way (for now) to upgrade the video card.
There is a thought that some OEMs might make an upgrade card, but as of now there are none.
The big advantage of the Mac Pro is that it has the PCI-express video card that you can remove the stock card from and add a newer, better card.

Hi does anyone know what programme I can use to create DVD of a movie that I have created on iMovie? There is no iDVD on my mac. Is Burn any good? And if so, can I get it for free?
Thanks.

There is no iDVD on my mac.
There is NO alternative. But iDVD is very easy to get.
iDVD is on the iLife 11 DISK. Buy here:

Is Burn any good?
iDVD is vastly superior, especially for movies.

I cannot use Quicken on my new MacBook Air (Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2) Any suggestions? I love Quicken and it takes care of all my financial needs.

You can wait for Quicken to update (supposedly in the works) or you can switch to another application such as Quicken Essentials or another application of which there are several you will find at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
Otherwise you'll need to return your MBA and buy a slightly older model Mac that still runs Snow Leopard. Lion will not run any PPC-only applications such as Qucken or MS Office 2004.

Make sure that the checkbox by "Use all F1, F2, etc, keys as standard function keys" is NOT checked.
Next, click on the Show All button, and select Bluetooth. You should see your Apple Wireless Keyboard listed on the left side of the screen.
Click once to select it, and then click the gear icon at the bottom of the box, and choose Disconnect.
Power off the keyboard by holding down the power button on the keyboard for a few seconds until it show "keyboard Off on your imac screen, then turn it back on again.

Try out the volume control buttons now, and see if that cleared things up

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
