On the OTHER hand....
...I received my Mac Mini yesterday, and not only does it work flawlessly, but they upgraded it on the fly. Was supposed to get a 1.42GHz Mac Mini with a 4200RPM 80GB hard drive, but I actually got a 1.5GHz Mac Mini with a 5400RPM 80GB hard drive. SWEET.
Yeah, I'm a switcher. I can't switch completely simply because, due to the job that I do (network admin for a hospital that's totally Windows based), I need to have at least some PC at home, and at work.
That being said, I eventually said to myself "Look, I troubleshoot enough PCs as it is; I really don't want to spend the same amount of time on MY computer at home." So I ended up purchasing the Mac Mini as a 'test', and I could not be more pleased. My WIFE figured out how to use it on her own, and THAT speaks volumes. LOL
As far as what hard drive I had, here's the specs:
Model Number:ST9808211A
Capacity:80 GB
Speed:5400 rpm
Seek time:12.5 ms avg
Interface:Ultra ATA/100
8MB cache.
Suffice to say that a) I am WELL pleased, b) my wife is pleased too, and c) I seriously doubt I'll ever buy another PC unless absolutely necessary.

Hallo, thank you for trying to help. Here is my problem:
In the past, the airprint was possible without problems from iPhone 4 and iPad 2. Since today it doesn't work anymore. My iPhone 4 and my iPad 2 is connected by wi-fi and I can serve in the internet. But I can't print on HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus. On the other hand, I can print over wi-fi from PC.
There are low ink-levels and therefore a message comes to indicate this by printing from PC. iPhone and iPad are accepting the print order without any messages after, but does't excecute the print.
What can I do?Hey helmut,
You can also try the ePrint method listed here if you can't get AirPrint working:

There are two choices of selected start up disks:Main HD and Recovery HD, appearance without hold down option key. On the other hand, it start up normally show apple picture when I hold option key.
Hi artdiva28
Welcome to Apple Discussions
First go to *System Preferences > Startup Disk* > select the *Mac OS X 10.5. on Macintosh HD* > click the Lock > hit the Restart button.
Then if the iMac is still having trouble starting up, insert your Install Disk and restart holding the Option key. In Startup Manager select the Install Disk and boot into it, choose your language, skip the Installer and go up on the menu bar to Utilities and open Disk Utility. In Disk Utility select your Macintosh HD and hit the Repair button. Once finished note any errors and what was repaired for future reference. Quit Disk Utility and restart once again holding the Option key boot back into the Macintosh HD and eject the Install Disk.

Hi i insttalled the free trial 3O days MacScan on OsX10.5 is it normal that for full scaning it takes so long time more even than one day?! on the other hand this application hasn't any uninstaller on image disc ,so how can i uninstal it from my hard?Thanks
Get rid of the tracking cookies. They are used to profile and track your browsing history. While they are privacy invading, by calling them spyware, MacScan is being a little dramatic in trying to sell you its crap. And in the future, for whatever browser you use, don't allow third-party cookies.
To prevent tracking, get Ghostery. In addition to having Ghostery and forbidding third-party cookies, I clear out all cookies from one browsing session to another. If you always do that, you won't have any tracking cookies to worry about, so you won't need MacScan to find them for you. Btw, MacScan finds the tracking cookies in the first few minutes of scanning; if you want to use it for that, then that's all the time you need to run it for. But, as I said, you won't have any tracking cookies around if you just remove all cookies and don't allow third-party cookies. As soon as you visit a site that needs them, you'll just get new ones. No problem.

Here's cover art / on the other hand, here isn't!
I initially imported a handful of my albums to iTunes (henceforth referred to as *"initial albums"*), used the function to d/l cover art for them, which turned out ok. Later I removed this library, started a fresh one and added all my music, applying the cover art function. This time, however, iTunes failed to retrieve album covers for several of my "initial albums" (for instance incl. four albums by the same artist).
These initial albums are common pieces of music that are all available through the iTunes store, and at least some of which you expect to find on the shelf if you pay your local record store a visit. I should point out that in between these to library builds I did edit some of the tracks' tag information (although only minor alterations like adding year of release, comments, etc. were made).
Kudos to the one who coughs up an answer to this one!My experience is that for automatic artwork look up, the two pieces of info that must match exactly are Artist name and Album name. If you changed any of those two, that might be the issue.
And it can be somewhat subtle. For example, I couldn't figure out why a "Mighty Mighty Bosstones" album wouldn't get the artwork when I could see the album in the store. Turns out that I was missing the leading "The" from the group name. Adding that in to create "The Mighty Mighty Bosstones" solved that one.
Other times I have found very slight differences in album titles especially with punctuation and articles (the, and, etc.). For example, AND vs. &, or titles like (just making up a title off the top of my head) "Joe Blow Greatest Hits" vs. "Joe Blow - Greatest Hits" (Note the added DASH in there).
I have found that if I go to the store, highlight the line of one of the songs on the album, do a COPY then open Text Edit, Notepad, etc. and paste it will paste in the entire line of info (it doesn't seem to allow you to just highlight and copy the artist or title), then highlight the artist name or album title, again do a COPY, then go back to iTunes, select the album, Get Info and paste in the version you just copied which WILL match iTunes version.
Best of luck,

MacBook Pro does not boot when 'cold', Windows 7 on the other hand boots without any problem
Hey everyone,
I have a strange problem with my MacBook Pro mid 2009 13" running OSX Mavericks. For more than a year I have trouble booting my laptop. A 'cold' start (a fresh boot) usually ends with the prohibition sign on a grey back ground (starting in verbose mode results in the error message that the main drive could not be found). So far so strange.
I have Windnows 7 installed as a bootcamp partition. If I start the laptop with Windows booting is no problem and Windows runs smoothly (what a terrible world we live in). If I let the laptop run for let say 10 minutes and restart the laptop Mac OS starts without any problems. (It doesn't work if I immediately restart after windows booted; also reinstalling Mac OS as a clean install from an external medium did not change the problem; disk utility always finds something to repair but neither discpermission repair nor disk repair got rid of the problem).
As an additional comment a WD 500GB Scorbio Blue replaced the original hard drive about a years ago. I had no problems with the hard drive initally and I can't really believe that there is a problem with the hardware, I mean, why does Windows start and Mac OS doesn't?
Thanks for your time and help!
MarcoThis isn't a direct answer to your issue but have you considered installing Wine so you can run the occasional windows app directly in OSX? It's a much more elegant solution IMHO. This avoids restarting all the time with Bootcamp and avoids crashing all the time (and the security risks) with Windows running.

I just want to active my apple store card for once on my life without calling or asking help from the apple suppourt
There are millions of folks that use Gift Cards without incident.
It seems that you are having extremely bad luck, may be doing something the same way every time that gives the same result or there may be something wrong with your account.
Call Apple Support in the same way you have in the past - but this time, rather than just solve your immediate issue, get them to look into the overall problem of "this happens EVERY TIME" - what am I doing wrong or is there something that you can do to fix this?

Firefox runs painfully slow. I upgraded from 12 to 13 beta recently and the problem went way. With 14 its just like before
I had the problem with FF 14 develop when I went from XP to Windows 7 Pro. I tried every fix in the forum plus uninstalled it using Revo Uninstaller and did a clean install, nothing worked. Then I said to myself "duh" and right clicked on the FF desktop icon and ran a compatibility check. Windows said FF 14 was not compatible with Windows 7 and is now running FF14 in the XP mode (a feature of Windows 7 Pro). It works fine now.
What is odd is that I have 2 other computers running Windows 7 Pro but FF 14 runs fine in Windows 7 on them. -
how do you get content from one ipod to the new one? my content is on an external hard drive not on my pc and i have run out of space on my 120gb classic. can you get old ipod content to new? my itunes has only got short cuts, the real content is on an external drive? can this be done?? please help
If the content is on an external drive, but your library knows where to find it, then it should all work. Connect your device, make some selections for what to put on it, and sync. If, on the other hand, your current iPod is the only place holding some of your media then see this user tip: Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

How do I set up an 8.5x11 booklet/document on 11x17 paper, pages 4-1 on one side, 2-3 on the other?
I realize this is commonly done, but when I create the new document, my pasteboard shows only page 1 on the right side (blank on the left), pages 2 and 3 in the next panel, and in the third panel, page 4 on the left side (blank on the right).
I haven't tried printing it yet, and maybe pages 1 and 4 will print together on one sheet as they should. But if that's true, wouldn't the pasteboard show just two panes? Pages 4-1, and then pages 2-3 below it?
And while I'm asking this question, what if I want to add a second sheet? In that case, the first panel would be pages 8 and 1, the second panel would be 2 and 7, the third would be 3 and 6, and the fourth should be 4 and 5.
If there is a standard way to set this up, I'm very grateful for the answer.The process you are asking about is called imposition, in case you want to Google for additional information. Imposition is normally the job of the print service, so if you are not printing this yourself (on a laser printer or networked copier, for example), you should leave it as a standard 8.5x11 portrait facing-page document. As a matter of fact, if you were to impose the booklet (thinking that you were doing the print provider a favor by lightening their load) and do it wrong, they would have to undo what you did, which would make their job harder, and you would likely be charged a fee for this.
If, on the other hand, you are printing this yourself, there are a few ways to do this. The easiest would be to select File>Print Booklet. You will have to set the paper size in the Print Settings window to 11x17 landscape, but it should print the booklet correctly. You will need to print this to a printer that can duplex (print on a sheet, flip the sheet and print on the back side, then repeat on the next sheet, etc.) for this to work with the Print Booklet feature (as far as I can tell—I don't use the feature myself, so that's what it seems like in the short amount of poking around that I did). If your printer can't do that, you may have to do it manually.
If you use the Print command instead of the Print Booklet command, it will allow you to do things like printing only odd or even pages, and print in reverse order. Unless you wanted to feed one sheet at a time into the printer and turn the sheet manually (which I suppose you could also do with the Print Booklet command), that's what you would have to do, but you would have to impose manually into another document first. There are InDesign plugins that will impose for you (as well as ways to impose a PDF), so you may want to Google to see what you come up with. Doing it manually can cause you some headaches.
To impose manually, save your document and create a new 11x17 landscape document with half as many pages as your original. You can place the original document into the new one the way you would place images (the pages won't be editiable, so they essentially are images, but you don't have to go the extra step of saving them as PDF, tiff, eps, etc. just to place them). Go to File>Place, navigate to your original document and tick the Show Import Options checkbox and click the Open button. When the Place window comes up, select the All radio button, and your place cursor will be able to place each page in normal sequence onto the page of your new document.
The tricky part is knowing which page goes where, and that's what will probably trip you up. A way to find out where the pages need to go is to take some paper scraps and fold them into a book (start with the number of pages in the book, divide by four, and use that many scraps). Write the numbers of the pages on the scraps in reading order like you were turning the pages of the book, then separate the pages and you will see that the last page is on the left of a sheet, with the first on the right. Turn it over and you will see page two on the left and the second last page on the right. This is the order you will need to place the pages in order to impose manually.
Does that help?
