Not just a Mini question...

I've been a proud owner of the low end G4 Mini model from the original release date on. I've been looking into moving onto the Intel platform and it looks like a 2.0GHZ Intel Mini is in my near future. That said I have some questions, and couldn't find an Apple Store discussion board so I hoped someone here would have some answers.
1. If I were to want Leopard on it's release would I be able to buy a Mac Mini IN an Apple Store on (or around) the same day it releases and get it for free as it's now Apple's main OS?
2. If I were to purchase a Mini at an Apple Store that is hundreds of miles from my house and something was to go wrong with the hardware would I have to return to that Apple store to fix it? Or could I just go through Apple directly as I have done with products bought on their website?
The reason I ask is because there is no Apple Store anywhere near my home but I will be thousands of miles away in Orlando Florida when Leopard launches (I've been told on or around October 26th). I'd love to be able to go into the Apple Store there and get one that day. Please, someone must know the answers to my questions, specifically number 1.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!

If you buy a new Mac at any point after Leopard's actual release, you are entitled to a copy of it. If it is not included with the system (if the system were in stock already for example and thus had Tiger pre-installed and supplied with it) you would be able to ask for a copy of Leopard, and there would usually be no charge for that. If you were to purchase slightly earlier, before Leopard was in circulation but after Apple has announced it's release date, there is usually a program to allow you to obtain a copy of the new OS version at the cost of media and/or mailing only.
2. If I were to purchase a Mini at an Apple Store that is hundreds of miles from my house and something was to go wrong with the hardware would I have to return to that Apple store to fix it? Or could I just go through Apple directly as I have done with products bought on their website?
You don't need to take your mini back to the store from which it came. You can get service support from any Apple approved service provider, and support from Apple by calling them. If the hardware was faulty and needed to be returned for service, you would simply call Apple and they will arrange it.

Hi guys. Just a quick question. My wife has a Mac Book Pro and when she is browsing the web she can use a two fingered gesture to go back to her previous page (by swiping from right to left). Is there any way to set that up on my iPad Mini. Many thanks.

Not in the Safari browser she can't. That is not supported on the iPad. There are other mobile browsers that do have that functionality - one is iCab Mobile.

I have a mac mini and just purchased a moshi hdmi connector for my LED TV. The problem is, I wanted to be able to take my mouse from one screen to another, not just as a mirror image! Is it possible to do this some how?

Whenever I ask Siri a question it just links me to a website instead of just saying the answer. The reason I ask Siri is because i am not in a position to look at my phone. How can I get Siri to just answer my questions??

I found that the only time Siri will read anything to you is if it finds a Wikipedia article. Siri will let you know it found that, and ask if you want it to be read out loud. Other than that you will hear the "I found this, take a look".
The only other thing you can do is activate "Speak Screen". It will involve you taking a look at your phone for a moment, selecting what you'd like to look at, but Siri will read the content to you. It's in Settings > General > Accessibility. Once activated, all you have to do is slide two fingers from the top of the screen and you will have it read to you. I use it all the time because of my astigmatism. It's pretty useful.

Results slide showing all question pool results not just the ones completed.

I have several question pools which have the option to be taken independently or separately.
If the user does not take all seven of the modules then the quiz results slide at the end is incorrect as it will report all of the questions not just the ones attempted.
I have tried the Branch aware option in the quiz results option but that did not worth.
It this an easy fix or does it require me to add a variable count for each correct answer.
Many thanks
Rick

Branch aware should be just fine for that case, why do you tell it is not working? Branch Aware Quiz - Captivate blog
When you say 'score slide is not reporting correctly', I had no such problems.
You could create a custom score slide indeed, using variables, but what if you have to report as a SCORM? Only possibility in that case is Branch aware.

The next option is to contact apple support & they have a team which can help you to reset security questions.

The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
     1. Send Apple an email request at: Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us.
     2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
     3. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

Creating a rescue email does not delete your account. It's simply an email address to which Apple can send your security information should you forget it.

If not, could you provide a link to the earlier discussion on your situation if there is one? I don't want to repeat what you haven't found helpful, and also, it's critical to know your correct configuration information and not waste everyone's time typing out advice that is totally irrelevant.
To provide the missing details on your configuration:

Usually, this does not contain personal information, but I suggest you skim down and make sure you do not see your email address in there (XX it out ).

Tried to delete an app and iPad froze. Screen jumped around. Could not pget it to shut down. Not just mine. Daughters did the same thing.

Tried to delete an app on iPad and it locks up everything. Screen jiggles. Can't shut off. Can't get the message to power off. Not just my iPad. Other family members have same trouble.

Then please accept my apologies. I truly am sorry. After reading tonefox's response, I had second thoughts. I had an entirely different suggestion posted but I edited it for that reason.
However, I do find it really odd that other family members are experincing the same thing unless.... Did you all download the same app and you are all now trying to delete it? It could be a corrupt app.
Please don't be offended by this either, I am just trying to help.... Did you all download something from an unsupported site or store? Or are your devices hacked?
DId you try resetting the devices by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen?

MX02 Mini Questions (2)

First off, this is really for people who already own a Matrox MXO2 Mini or are familiar with it. I just purchased one, and am using it with FCP 6 and a consumer 32" 1080p 120Hz LCD set from Samsung (and yes, I do know that the 120Hz is the actual refresh rate of the set and not just the horrible "Auto Motion 120Hz" hype that looks awful and which I happily have turned off).
The first question I have is about the 1080p function of the Mini. I actually have the question in to Matrox (which has excellent support, btw), because right now it seems that the Mini only supports monitoring 1080psf (segmented frames). I'm not bothered by this as long as it works, but I find it odd that it doesn't do true 1080p monitoring (which it does with 720, and 486, etc.). Wondering how psf really works, and if true 1080p monitoring would be more desirable for any reason.
The second question is in regards to picture monitoring over Component vs. over HDMI. When I send HD signals over both, I notice little difference. But I see a HUGE difference with SD signals - the main one being the fact that when I park a frame on a interlaced image, monitoring over component the frame is totally motionless, and looks like a "progressive" view of both fields simultaneously (with what I refer to as an interlaced "jaggies" around the edges). When I park on the same frame in HDMI, the interlacing is the usual flicker that I notice on a CRT monitor parked on 2 fields at once. (Hopefully that explanation made sense).
Why this difference? Is it just a function of my Samsung? When I click on the "info" button on my TV while viewing these sources, over Component the TV says "720x480i" (and the parked frame looks very "still" but "jaggie"), while over HDMI it says "720x480" but no "i", (and the parked frame here looks "flickering" and full of motion)
Huh? Shouldn't this be just the opposite?
The differences don't end there, either. Over HDMI, several shots that were taken outdoors with a lot of background trees have really weird flicker on the edges of these trees and other objects. This happens both while playing, and when parked on a frame. They do not appear to be an interlacing issue, as sometimes they go away when I advance a frame at a time, and are unable to be reproduced exactly.
This flicker does not happen with the same scenes over Component. And in neither case is the motion otherwise strange.
What's going on here? Anyone have any clues? Again, could this be a problem or issue with my TV, as opposed to the Mini? And should I have perhaps invested in a better (if smaller) Video monitor if I wanted to do true color correction?
Thanks for any info!

I just got mine today and have played with it a little, including hooking it up to a couple HDTVs and playing out 720p 23.98, 1080p 23.98 and 1080i 29.97.
Wondering how psf really works
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressivesegmentedframe
and if true 1080p monitoring would be more desirable for any reason.
No....it isn't. And this is one thing that people seem to demand but have no idea what it means. TRUE 24P monitoring, for either 720p or 1080p...is NOT desireable. Why? It flickers. Why does it flicker? Because as you noted, your TV is a 120Hz LCD. NTSC power is 60Hz based, so they work well. 24 doesn't go evenly into 120Hz, nor 60Hz, so it flickers. Even on high end $35,000 HD CRTs it flickers. NO ONE monitors at true 24P because of this. They send a 23.98 signal out in a 29.97 stream...adding pulldown as it goes out...so that it will play smoothly. Because 29.97...really 30fps, 60 interlaced fields, goes into 120Hz evenly. 120Hz is easily divisible by 30 and 60...if you get my meaning.
This happens with a PAL monitor if it is connected to an NTSC power source. In PAL land you can monitor 25P all day long, no flicker. Their power is all 50Hz based, and 25 goes into 50 evenly. But plug that monitor into a 60Hz power, and play 25P or 50i footage, and you get flicker.
The mini has 23.98 settings for 720p and 23.98 psf for 1080i, and that adds pulldown when it plays so that you don't get flicker. I played both types on two different HDTVs and it looked AWESOME.
No clue about why SD looks progressive while HD does the interlaced dance. I noticed that the interlaced footage I had didn't do that two-field shuffle on the HDTVs...it showed the jaggie lines I saw on my computer monitor. So to see proper interlacing you need a monitor that shows it...HDTVs aren't designed to show interlacing...they are all PROGRESSIVE monitors. I'm guessing that your Samsung was like the one I used tonight...it cannot show interlacing.
No idea what is occuring on the outdoor footage you have. I was looking at Africa safari footage and interlaced re-creations from a documentary and progressive footage of people on the street. I didn't see anything like what you described. But I was only viewing via HDMI. I'm still playing.
And I really like it. I got the MAX version, and so far rendering to H.264 has been sped up 300%.

Hi there, I just bought an iMac 2011. Just a quick question. Are those keyboard and mouse batteries that comes with the package are rechargeable?

Mine was bought last year and they were not; it they don't say "rechargeable". they're not. I started to use rechargeable as soon as the original batteries died.

Leopard Server on Mac Mini Questions

Hi,
Just a few questions before purchasing everything. I would like to use a new Mac Mini 1.83Ghz, 2GB RAM to run Server 10.5. There will be 3 or 4 users at this point which all have new Mac Book Pros running 10.5.1. In the small office I want the users to connect to the server through an airport extreme base (wireless). I also want them to be able to VPN back to the server while traveling. Is all this possible and pretty straight forward?
I would also like to use the Guardian Maxmus 500GB RAID 1 setup for the share files and backup.
Also how many static IPs would one need to make this all work? Just one? The server will not be a web or mail server. It'll be mostly VPN share, iCal, etc.
Thanks

'Is all this possible?'
Yes.
'How many statics?'
One.
And yes, it is pretty straight forward.

Not just a Mini question...
