Mac Mini with Major Problems

I'll try to make this short, but it is a looonngg problem.
About one month ago my Mac Mini began having problems when I boot up. The computer would freeze on the opening page where I put in my password. My wireless keyboard and trackpad would not work. This would be interminent at first but progressively got worse.
I spent hours on phone tech support. Finally realizing that would not help I drove the 100 mile round trip to the local Apple store for a Genius bar appointment.
The first appointment (there have been 5 - meaning 500 miles) resulted in them doing a clean install of Lion. I took the computer back to the office and guess what, the same problem.
I drove back to the Apple store, the Genius did some more work and proclaimed it fixed. It was, for about 3 days when everything started again.
More time now on tech support. One more trip to the Apple store.
This time they kept the Mac Mini for about 4 days are replaced the logic/mother board.
I got it back to the office on Thursday. Everthing works great.
Until today. I boot the computer, it gets to the screen that has the apple on it - then nothing.
I manually power it down and reboot. Same thing.
I've set up ANOTHER appointment at the Genius bar tomorrow.
My question: can I demand that they replace this machine. Between work and home I have 2 Mac Mini's, a Macbook Pro, a Macbook Air and 2 iPhones. I've never had this type of problem. I'm really tired of this.
I purchased this in February so it is in warranty.
Thanks

This is why I buy Mac/Apple!
Excellent new, sorry you had so much trouble on the way. And yes, Apple Stores are awesome!

Mac Mini with BIG disk problems

Hello,
My Mac Mini's still fairly new and under warranty. Here's what happened: It hung a couple of times and had to be hard-rebooted. The last time I did this, it wouldn't get past "Waiting for Network file system" or something like that when booting. I tried booting from CD, and running disk repair. It would only say (in bright RED): "Keys out of order" and "Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit."
My question is, I'm afraid that getting it serviced will get my drive wiped, which I would like to avoid if possible. Out of all of you folk out there in the know, do you think a commercial disk application -- like Tech Tool Pro or Drive -- may be worth trying to try and recover my disk? Or is my situation hopeless?
Obviously, I'm writing from another computer, so I may or may not be able to respond quickly. Still no access at home.
Thanks!

Since it rather seems that some data on the disk is the culprit, Disk Warrior might be better than TechTool for that type of issue. However, there is no guarantee that it will work. If you have another Mac, or a friend with another Mac, you could use FireWire Target Disk Mode to recover as much data as you can.
You may not need to have it serviced at all. If the issue is with the data structure on the drive, then it could be solved by a complete Erase & Install of Mac OS X, which you can do yourself with your Mac OS X Install Disc. Unfortunately, that type of reinstall will wipe all data off your drive ...

Mini Mac, Big Problem

My house has a wireless network that is maintained through a PC. My Mac Laptop has full, fast, wireless service everywhere in the house. I just bought a Mac Mini and it gets almost no airport signal in my office. My laptop gets signal sitting literally in front of my Mini, but the Mini does not.
Then sometimes I will have full bars of Wireless signal, but the internet won't connect at all.
I seem to gather that this is a fairly common problem. Is there anything I can do?

I have a Mac Mini, that also seems to be deaf, whereas the Macbook Pro sitting on the same desk has no issues. I am thinking the MacMini's antenna is not optimal. The MacPro has no issues, either.

Big problem with new WD Caviar Green HDD, please advise!

I bought a new Western Digital Caviar Green HDD 1TB, ( WD10EADS ) it is a SATA 3Gb/s interface HDD, 3.5-inch form factor. the RPM = IntelliPower (NOT 7200 RPM or 5400 RPM which means Rotate automatically depends on the needs of fetching data I suppose?)
I acknowledged that this series of HDD which three of 6 have the same Power Management which Read/Write = 4.9W / Idle = 2.8W / Standby = 0.4 W / Sleep = 0.4W
They are differ from the other 3, which 500GB one is 4.1W / 2.2W / 0.8W / 0.8W and 1.5TB is 4.73W 2.75W / 0.72W / 0.72W; 2TB is 6W 3.7W 0.8W 0.8W
Which mean the Standby and Sleep mode are the same state.
Now my big problem is, I bought an external dock SI-7908UI for this WD Caviar Green HDD.
( http://www.ssi.com.tw/product_content.aspx?id=92 )
So I first put the HDD into the SI-7908UI Dock ( USB 2.0 / eSATA / Firewire 400 /800 )
I tried many way of sequence of who power on first? WD Caviar Power on first? or Mac mini Power on first? I found that the best way is Mac mini Power on first, then Power on the external HDD.
OK, before I address my big problem, I should let you know, I found that there is NO S.M.A.R.T. working when you put a S.M.A.R.T. HDD outside the Mac or PC. In Dock, the S.M.A.R.T. won't work, That's how I saw in System Profiler, the FireWire tab says " S.M.A.R.T. status: Not Supported "
and I did test a Non-Green Maxtor HDD, the S.M.A.R.T. doesn't show either. You'll need this info before the real problem I'm gonna say in the following.
NOW, about 10~15 minutes after my Mac mini boot, if I didn't fetch anything from my external HDD, it would goes to sleep itself, that confirmed that the Specification Sheet was true, the Idle = 2.8W and I believe it goes to Idle, NOT Standby or Sleep, which I also believe the Standby or Sleep signal is supposed to be given by Mac OS, but it sounds like Standby or Sleep, BECAUSE the WD HDD suddenly not rotate and the sound it appears that it goes to SLEEP, am I right? I keep Mac awake by browsing the web so Mac mini won't go to sleep (I set 10 minutes in Energy Saver and I checked Put the HDD to sleep when possible)
Well, That is my big problem when WD Green HDD goes to sleep, because I CAN'T wake it up, NOT eject or Shut down the Mac mini. (OK, I'm NOT sure if it goes to Sleep or Idle)
First I thought it freezes the whole Mac OS, then I found I still can move many things, such as I am doing right now, post this big problem here. but I am sure the others are freeze! and no matter how many time I click Shut Down or Restart or Force Quit, the Mac mini didn't respond.
I tried to figure it out because I don't want to Shut Down by force.(5 seconds Press the Power button)
then I found that if I power down the external dock 7908-UI when Mac fail to shut down/restart/or eject the external HDD, It worked.
And the Mac OS will appear a window says that "I shouldn't unplug an external device without Ejecting it first" something like that. and suddenly it shuts down very quickly, everything back to normal, it shut down successfully.
What am I gonna do with this? Am I going to power down my external HDD first every time I want to shut down/eject/restart? Because the Eject the external HDD will cause freeze too! Freeze Finder I suppose.
Is it caused by 7908-UI ? or Caused by WD Caviar's Green Power management?
Because I don't trust 7908-UI, it doesn't look like a trusted brand, I've never heard of this SSI company anyway.
What am I gonna do? Please advise.
Thanks in advance.

Please realise that I am not the right person to be asking. I pointed you to a thread where, as a Moderator at the Bombich forums, I felt the need to warn users of CCC that a WD drive might cause problems. The thread mainly just copies what WD have said.
Obviously your drive will respond/awake/spin up when you access it manually. Some of the problems are...
•  Most users want to be in control of whether and/or when a drive sleeps -- WD's auto-sleep cannot be disabled and so precludes that.
•  Most users want their drive to obey settings in Energy Saver -- the WD auto-sleep mechanism doesn't allow that.
•  Most users want a scheduled cloning/backup to take place during the night. The cloning app starting the backup process should cause the target drive, if sleeping, to wake/spin up so that the process can take place -- it does for all drives except WD drives where the auto-sleep mechanism used doesn't allow it. LaCie drives, for instance, have auto-sleep +as an option+, during which the drive will respond to Energy Saver settings and to software such as a cloning app.
Please, Mauricette, put you questions/concerns/problems to the reseller or to WD, both of whom took your money without warning you. I am NOT a WD expert! ...or lover! ( ) I became more than disenchanted when I saw that a) WD do not point out the limitations of their external drives at point of sale, and b) WD put the blame for these inadequacies/problems/limitations onto Apple, ignoring the fact that no drives other than WD drives have them.

Big Problem with Mighty Mouse

I'm having a rather big problem with my wired Mighty Mouse. Basically, the middle button is the only top button that works, and clicking with the left or right side does nothing but activate the middle button instead.
Here's the nitty gritty...
The reason I can assume this happening is because I cleaned the scroll wheel to un-stick it. I did this by getting a sheet of white paper, turning the mouse upside down, and rubbing the wheel all over the paper, which left paths of dirt and fluff everywhere. Worked great, and the scroll wheel now works perfectly again.
The mouse worked fine after that which is what makes this problem odd, but later that night, all the top buttons just started acting as one middle button... So, (using my tablet) I changed the setting for the middle mouse button in the preferences to 'Primary Button'.
Now basically what I have is a one button mouse (with side squeezy things).
How do I make the left and right buttons work again? The preferences are set up fine... as in the right side is assigned to 'Secondary Button', etc, but it still only works as middle mouse.
Any ideas or help would be really appreciated!
Cheers
Cuby

If you are going to replace it, consider getting a plain old optical mouse that uses Apple's built-in generic USB mouse driver. I like the ones from Microsoft that have two buttons, a clickable scroll wheels, and that's it. This is the one that I use now.
[Microsoft Optical Mouse (Blue)|http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-K81-00004-Optical-Mouse-Blue/dp/B000068M P2/ref=sr11?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1244701238&sr=8-1]
It is reliable, comfortable, and sturdy. I've never cleaned it. And it's so cheap. I had a different basic Microsoft mouse before, and the only reason I got a new one was because I wore out the pads on the bottom that let it slide around.
Tip: Apple's generic USB mouse driver does not seem to have way to set the center button click. But if you set it to something when the Mighty Mouse is connected, that setting seems to continue to work with the generic mouse. Mine is set to do Exposé.
Not sure why you cannot do +reset PRAM+. If your internal speaker volume setting is muted so that you do not hear the startup sound, you need to turn up the volume a bit. The startup sound is your indicator (when you hear it for the second time) that you can let go of then four keys.

Export epub note problem and freeze with big books

(Excuses for my English... I'm not native English speakir)
When I'm mailing a note that i made in a epub book on my iPad, I only get the note and the chapter but not a quote of the text what note is about. (not very useful)
When I export the same note from ibook on mac os X mavericks the text what the note is about is quoted when exporting/mailing.
What am I doing wrong on my iOS device??
Also when iBooks is very slow with rendering the index of example: the bible (>600 chapters). This book has so many chapters when opening the index it seems to freeze and when loaded (after a min or something) you can scroll down but when you are on 3/4 of the index it start stutter.
(it also should make drop-down menu's but that's a total other thing). It makes it un-usable :-( (are people seeing the same problem with big books, (with a lot of chapters)?)
I contacted the auteur of the book but they say, it is iBooks. We can't help you... Apple do not support epub correctly.
I'm using the new version of ibooks 3.2 on iOS 7 ipad Air.
Example I was talking about (Dutch) : https://itunes.apple.com/nl/book/de-nieuwe-bijbelvertaling/id424830497?mt=11

I can confirm iBooks v 3.2 is extremely slow when opening the index of books with a large number of chapters. (Tested with O'Reilly's "Learning Python Fifth Edition" by Mark Lutz in epub format.) There seems to be a sharp cutoff in the length of the index above which iBooks/iPad freezes for a long time (About a minute in my case.) Hitting the "Resume" button once the index has been displayed also freezes for a long period.

Big problem with photos after update to iOS 4.3

Hi everyone,
I have a big problem with the photos on my iPhone 4 after updating to 4.3
There is not enough space for them, anymore. Before the update I had about 9000 photos synced with iTunes -and I had about 10 GB free. Now, iTunes can't sync the photos anymore because there is not enough space on the iPhone??? The same amount of photos does not fit anymore. I suppose there is an error in the Itunes photo compression module. Anybody else with the problem? Any suggestions for a workaround?
Thanks, Olaf
Update: The same number of photos is taking up three times as much space than before.

Me too, but I have the solution.
There seems to be 2 problems. First, for some reason your data is taking up more space post update, so if you were close to filling your device, you now overrun. This isn't well handeld by iTunes, but doesn't seem to be the biggest problem as I'm sure that would sort itself out if you could just get it to sync.
The root problem is the 2nd one - the missing file. Mine was a photo, but it took me ages to find it and you're not going to like how I did it. I started to untick things to sync one by one (music first) and attempting the re-sync. I found that it was a file in my photos that was causing the problem, so I removed those and then re-loaded everything back up and I'm now OK again. I use Aperture to sync with.
I had the same problem with the last OS update and it's a pain because it takes ages to sort with a nearly full 32G device.
Now onto my iPad for an update, but that's proving to be a non-starter as the thing wont back up due to "another session in progress". More rooting around to solve that I guess......

Hi
I've a big problem with adobe acrobat reader XI pro and I hope you can help me.
The problem is; when I past copied text from some pdf books (not all of them) it past symbols only! wherever I past it! and even if I coped that text from another pdf reader (adobe pdf reader, internet browsers, ...etc.).
This problem started to happen since yesterday when I installed adobe acrobat reader XI pro to try it before I buy it, and before that when I was using the free adobe pdf reader I was totally able to copy any text from any pdf and past it anywhere with nothing wrong.
What can I do?
thank you a lot.

There is no product called Adobe Acrobat Reader Pro. There is
- Adobe Acrobat Pro ($$)
- Adobe Reader (free)
Which do you have? And are you a programmer?

Big problem with PDF export from CS4

Create a document with facing pages. Then place a rectangle or any other object on the master through the whole spread. Place the text or any other object on the master over the first rectangle on the both pages. Now, when exporting pdf, the text on the left pages is disappeared becaouse it covered by the copy of the rectangle. The variation of the problem is when using any tansparencies, then they become "less transparent" on the left pages because of this strange dublicating.
There is an archive in attachment that contains indd and pdf files with this problem.

Thanks, it works, but bug is still bug. In some cases it's impossible to do this, for example my recent case: it was text with huge outer glow on master pages. Outer glow from right page dublicates to the left and covered left text, and there's no way to move effect to another layer separately. The solution was to detach these texts from masters, but it's also unhandy solution.
It's hard to detect such cases unless it happen with big elements.

I can't download the apps with big size like need for spees, but in apps with normal size(less than 100KB)there is no problem,is there any body who can help me?

I can't download the apps with big size like need for spees

Have a little patience. 4 minutes is only a short time for someone to find your post and reply to it. Also clicking on "This Solved My Problem" marks your problem as solved so many folks that may otherwise help will pass the question by since it is "solved."
I suggest you start a new question that gives a good title to a specific problem. Then in the body of the thread describe the problem in detail, tell us what steps you have tried so far to correct the problem, what happened, and what error messages you received.

Delete the music in your iTunes library, then go to iTunes store, Quick Link, 'Purchased' to redownload again.
