Need setup input/opinion please.

Im setting up a new panasonic 50 HDTV and was thinking of getting the new Mac Mini.
I want to be able to go out to the HD TV and play DVDs and also my home mad HD QT files. Also wanted to surf the web.... Is all this possible. Does it just work as if the TV is a monitor.
Also can I connect HDMI for high res? I know the DVD wont be HD but for my QT files I would like to max out the resolution to the TV.
Also can I hook my mini into my Bose sorround sound?
Thanks for your time.

Yes, you can certainly use your TV as the display for your Mac mini. There are quite a few people, including me, doing the same thing. It's not going to be the best for surfing the Web, but it should work. My Mac mini is connected with an HDMI to DVI cable. DVDs actually look better, for me, this way than playing them on my dedicated DVD player connected with s-video.
What kinds of audio input does your Bose system have? If it has a digital optical audio input, then it should work just fine even for surround sound from your DVDs. (Although, there's another discussion about getting multi-channel audio from QuickTime files directly with no solution yet.)

    I installed both 10.1.4 and 11.0.08 updates this week and now I can't use the Digital "Sign" document feature.  It's been completely removed.  Need it back. Please help..  Can't sign or add text to any pdf document. Even when security properties allow it. 

    I would remove Reader and repair or reinstall Acrobat.
    Having different major versions can cause some users issues. Reader is not necessary if one has Acrobat installed. Even though Adobe has improved the capability of having both Reader and Acrobat with the same major version level there are still user configurations that have problems with this setup.

  • Need a little help please    Airport Express

    Need a little help please.
    I am trying to set up a wireless network at my home using Airport Express.
    I have a regular phone line running in to I assume the modem. From there, there is an Ethernet cable running from that box to the back of the PC. My question is, I think, which of those do I unplug and plug into the Airport Express, the one on the back of the PC or the one that is in the back of the modem, or is this totally wrong.
    Any help would be appreciated…
    Thanks
    In advance…
    PS I have the manual but to me it is not very clear…

    Your connection sequence would look like this:
    Internet > Modem > AirPort Express >>>wireless to your computers.
    This means that you would unplug the cable that is now connected at the back of your PC and move that connection to the AirPort Express.
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click Continue to follow the guided setup. On the third page, you will choose the option to "Create a wireless network" and continue the setup.

    That would be the password for your FTP server. You can only get this from your web hosting company. You should contact your web hosting company and ask them for your FTP Publishing details.
    Then select your web site name at the top of the list of web pages in iWeb. You'll see input fieldd for your FTP details. Enter what you get from your web hosting provider in those fields.

  • Can I send an iPhoto book to my parents as a PDF? I need their input before I order the ibook.

    Can I send an iPhoto book to my parents as a PDF? I need their input before I order the ibook.

    You can create a PDF preview of your book, see this link:
    iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040
    The PDF will be too large to email to your parents - copy it to a USB stick or burn it as CD or DVD and send it as a letter.  Or upload it to a server for download, your Dropbox, etc.

  • How can I access my computer when the keyboard letters don't respond and I need to input my password?

    My computer is password protected, but for some reason, the letters in the keyboard are not responding. I press the "Caps lock" button and the "num lock" button and they seem to operate fine and the mouse is also working properly, but it seems like the letters are locked and won't input.
    Please help

    Hit the num lock button again. Num lock forces only the numeric keypad underlying keys to work as a  numeric keypad, and the rest of the keyboard won't work.  Unfortunately Apple stopped including the numeric keypad hidden keyboard key labels on its keyboards.  They used to include them.  They are known as mouse keys: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/cdb_moskys.html

  • I just bought a new iPhone and accidentally backed it up with my old iPhone backup, I do not want this. I lost everything on my new phone and I need it back. PLEASE HELP! This includes pictures and texts, etc.

    I just bought a new iPhone and accidentally backed it up with my old iPhone backup, I do not want this. I lost everything on my new phone and I need it back. PLEASE HELP! This includes pictures and texts, etc.

    So just to be clear, when you say "just bought" how long ago was that? Is it on this new iPhone that you had pictures, texts, etc that you want? Were you backing up to iCloud or onto iTunes?
    This may not help for everything but if you go to iCloud.com and log in, are you able to find your pictures there?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're users here and do not speak for "Apple Inc."
    Some basic printer troubleshooting steps before worrying about a printer driver:
    1. Have you tried turning the printer off and back on?
    2A. Is the printer attached with a cable?
         If yes, have you tried unplugging and re-plugging both ends of the printer cable?
         If that does not help, can you test the printer with another cable?
    2B. If your printer is not connected to the computer with a cable, have you tried restarting your printer (assuming wireless connection)?
         Have you tried restarting your wireless router?
    3. Have you tried restarting your MacBook? (Be sure to save your work first.)
    4. Does the printer have ink? (Doesn't usually generate a 'communications error' though)
    5. Have you updated OS X or the program you're trying to print from recently?

  • In need of a MOD please

    Hi im in need of a Mod please,i need to know when my new monthy Download  cycle date starts please.
    I have Downloaded a fair bit this month and dont want to break 100GB and then be capped to 1Meg
    I will of course provide AN etc when a Mod replies to the thread hopefully.

    Sorry about the confusion, what Sean meant was that your usage level goes towards a monthly allowance, i.e. your usage is counted from the 1st of each month to the last day of the month.
    Now, the following is from the Fair Usage Policy page:
    Customers who are classified as very heavy users will experience significantly reduced speed at peak times (typically 5pm-midnight every day but these times may change depending on the demand on the network) for a period of 30 days, or for as long as very heavy use continues. This applies to customers on all Options.
    So, let's say for example you fall into the category of a heavy user and go over the usage on the “X” day of a given month, the line will experience reduced speeds for 30 days after the “X” day that the usage is exceeded.
    If anything above is unclear let me know.

  • I need your expert opinion on how to create a map with multiple conditions.

    Hello.
    I need your expert opinion on how to create a map with multiple conditions.
    I have a procedure (which i cannot import or re-create in OWB due to the bug), so i am trying to create a map instead :-(
    How can i create a cursors within the map?
    My function creates table and cursor.
    Then it will have to check for duplicates in the tables (the one created and another table) - the criteria for finding duplicates is a number of fields.I then need to place few different conditions (if some attributes are not available) and it has to load cursor based on this conditions. The next step is to fetch the data into the cursor based on what attributes are missing.
    The next thing it will do is insert the data into table (if record doesn't exist), output the error in separate table is record is corrupted, or update the record with changed information.
    In short i need to re-create match / merge but with conditions, iterations etc 'built into' it.
    I can read up on available functions - it's just what would be the best options? and what would be the best approach to do so?
    In my function i use %rowtype - but cannot use it in owb - so what would be the alternative? i don't really want to create a lot of variables and then have a nightmare of maintaing it. are there any tips regarding this?
    having looked through Oracle dedupe - it's not really what i need because it is just DISTINCT.
    I would appreciate any help / advise on this.
    Thank you very much

    thanks a lot for your reply - i will look into this option :-)
    it is a bit more complicated now as i have to re-create the match / merge and then somehow 'tweak' it to achieve the result i need.
    At the moment i am looking to breakdown the package into smaller chunks 'functions' and try creating the map that way.
    Anyway, thank you very much for your suggestion.

  • I have QuickTime Player 7.6.8, I cannot update or remove it b/c I am missing QuickTime.msi file. It is gone and I need it back. Please help.

    I have QuickTime Player 7.6.8, I cannot update or remove it b/c I am missing QuickTime.msi file. It is gone and I need it back. Please help.

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • How do I stop Safari from 'pinwheeling' whenever I am using Yahoo Mail? I really need a correct answer please.                                                                                             Mail? I need a correct answer please.

    How do I stop Safari from 'pinwheeling' whenever I try to use Yahoo Mail?
    I really need a correct answer please. Other answers have only suggested how to access Yahoo Mail without using Safari. I want to continue using Safari to access Yahoo Mail,if possible.  Thank you.

    Could be a cookie issue...
    Go to Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab then click Show Cookies
    Type yahoo in the serach field then click Remove All > Done
    Quit then relaunch Safari.
    Try accessing your Yahoo mail account.
    FYI... there is rarely a sure fire correct response for third party web based email client software. Often takes time consuming troubleshooting.
