Web/Email experience on your HTPC Mini

I can understand why people have enjoyed the Mac Mini as a pure HTPC, once it is setup in the entertainment room. Here's a question for those of you who currently have your Mac Mini connected to your HDTV and use it dual purpose: HTPC and basic computer tasks such as email, web, etc. Are there many of you out there, or are these HTPC's relegated to just that, HTPC's?
How would you rate your experience using your HTPC Mini also as a computer? What accommodations have you had to make to improve that experience?
Some unthikables for me are running USB wires across the coffee table or having a separate mouse or trackball next to me on the couch. I can envision a bluetooth keyboard and integrated trackpad, but have yet to find the right one. (Logitech diNovo Edge looks most promising?).
How about the size of onscreen fonts? Do your eyes hurt from squinting at small fonts 10+ feet away? Even if my 40" LCD was capable of 1080p (which it's not), I would probably have to run the Mini's desktop at 720p, just to make the OS's text legible. Assuming your HDTV doesn't cover your entire wall, do you find yourself constantly straining or using "Apple''" to make fonts bigger in your browser?
Thanks for sharing your experiences.

From, 1 to 10 I would rate my experience with the macmini as HTPC with an 8. Here is why:
1) No noise at all comparing with a standard PC.
2) Low cost if you compare with a custom made PC as HTPC.
3) All software works: internet, email, youtube, music player, DVD player, MIDI player.
4) Good communication with the wireless keyboard and mouse (Bluetooth)
5) FrontRow and the moni-remote make a good couple.
6) Can do Unix, Linux, VNC from my other machines.
7) Everybody at home understands it. Cam start working with it with zero training.
8) Unbelievable small footprint for such computing power.
9) Burning CDs is a breeze.
Now, responding to your inquiries:
USB: Try to install the macmini as close as possible to the display to save on cabl and reduce noise and cable losses. I bought a mount bracket for the wall (behind the 26" TV flat panel), which comes with four USB in the front. Right now I am using one USB port only for the MIDI keyboard.
Location: I installed the 26" LCD display on the wall in the kitchen dining room. So, I have the table to put the keyboard and mouse.
Font: even with the 26" screen fonts are kind of small when you try to watch an inmternet page or the menus from 8' away. Then it comes handy the Ctrl+Scroll where you can zoom-in and out. Also, what I did is set the resolution to 1024x768 instead of the maximum resolution (1380x1024). That enhance the menu fonts to something more legible. And yes, the eyes hurt for the first two weeks. Then, you get used to it.
What do I dislike of the macmini as HTPC:
i) The mini-remote is too directional; it is optic not RF.
ii) The DVD player software does not show subtitles for all the movies.
iii) Macmini is slow to play divX or mpg movies via network. I even tried with VLC, but you can see the delay. Not fast enough.
iv) DVD recorder only works reliably from Parallels Windows. Could not record yet a workable data DVD from the pure Mac OSX.
I think, so far, the Macmini has been a remarkable experience.
Good luck.

Ipad or ipad mini for web, email, you tube

Which ipad is better for web, email, you tube & powerpoints? I know ipad has the retina display but I like the portability of the mini.

six one way, half a dozen the other. All depends on how much screen real estate you want or need.
I like the size of the iPad, but others love the portability of the mini.

What do I have to do to remove the fedex email virus on my Mac mini?

Can anyone provide me with the steps or procedures I should follow to remove the FedEx email virus from my Mac mini.
My OS is Snow Leopard and believe v10.6.X.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

I can't log into my Frontier email account from my Ipad mini.

I can't log in to my Frontier email account from my ipad mini. It goes to mg.mail.yahoo.com but the page stays white.

I've been with this service for nearly 2 years now and the problems just mount up. I had an account for close to 2 years on EE itself which suddenly does not exist. Advised by customer service agents to 'Sign up' for a new one. Try signing up, get to enter Bank account details - can only put in 4 digits. In what millenia were bank account numbers only 4 digits long? Why am I wasting an hour of my time fault finding for your developers? I should charge you £50 a hour for this waste of my time. Fire your project manager for this new website revamp, fire the developers and get someone in who can transition accounts from one system to another without destroying the whole user experience. Absolute disgrace, don't message me about Apps and how I should log in to my account for offers when I can't do any of that. I would advise anyone new to EE here to cancel your account within the 14 day grace period, you'll have neverending issues from fake data charges, extortionate roaming costs, somehow paying for data when on Wifi and much more.

It might not be a good idea to use your verizon.net email address as your primary.....

Team,
There is a problem using verizon email as your primary email. If your account is suspended, all email addressed to you is rejected by the verizon servers. This, as a service, is unacceptable. I suggest not using your verizon email as your primary email source since there is a chance that Verizon suspends your account and no email gets to you. I guess sometimes free accounts like gmail, hotmail, and others provide more of a service than those taking your money.
What do you think?
Here is my exchange with a verizon tech support person in a online chat. I will let you know if the emails are retrieved as the tech support person suggests. What do you think?
Chat Subject: FiOS Internet (E-Mail)
Your Question: Team, I opened an issue on 2 September and to date I have not received a reply. The issue number is {edited for privacy}. Until this issue is resolved I cannot receive any email and all emails sent to me are rejected by your servers. This is unsatifactory and I wish it to be resolved asap. thanks.
A Verizon Service Representative will be with you shortly. Thank you. (18:14:30)
Agent Kavita has joined. (18:14:44)

Kavita(18:16:28): For account security reasons, I need to confirm few things quickly. May I have the name and address on the account?

ben breelandxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Kavita(18:19:35): Thank you.
ben breeland(18:19:50): You are welcome.
Kavita(18:20:45): I went through your issue description, as I understand you have an open ticket and the issue is not yet resolved. , and that?s the reason that you are contacting us, correct?
ben breeland(18:21:34): Yes. That is correct. I have an open issue, {edited for privacy} , opened 2 September for my emal access and I am contacting you to determine the status of the resolution.
Kavita(18:22:09): You have reached the right person, I will be more than glad to assist you today
ben breeland(18:22:52): Great. You are a super star! Show me how you work it.

Kavita(18:25:47): You are welcome.
Kavita(18:26:02): I truly appreciate your patience.
ben breeland(18:26:58): By the way, did you know that when an account is suspended, all new email is rejected by your servers? So since I opened this issue, all email addressed to my address has been rejected. Is this the policy on all email accounts with your company? If so, why is this the policy?
Kavita(18:28:08): Yes I do see that your account is suspended.
Kavita(18:29:18): Ad regarding the update of the open ticket I see that out technicians are working on it and they will definately get back to by tommorrow morning.
ben breeland(18:29:41): so it will be resolved by tomorrow morning?
ben breeland(18:29:52): Or will I get a call by tomorrow morning?
Kavita(18:30:27): You got it absolutely correct.
ben breeland(18:30:47): what is correct, Kavita. a call? Or resolution?
Kavita(18:32:08): You will get a resolution with a call.
ben breeland(18:32:42): thank you. can you address my question regarding all of the lost email during this period? thank you.
ben breeland(18:33:42): suspended does not mean cancelled. Yet during the suspension all email sent to me was rejected by your servers. This is not a good thing.
Kavita(18:35:43): Alright sir, what I would suggest you is tommorrow morning when you will get a call from the advanced technical support, please do ask thenm about the lost emails because as they were working on the issue, they will be able to answer your question in a better way.
Kavita(18:36:08): Great, I can see your screen now.
ben breeland(18:36:24): Kavita, why do you need to see my screen?
ben breeland(18:37:06): Also, if I am not home - tomorrow is Sunday - will they call until they reach me or leave a message if I am not here? Thanks.
Kavita(18:37:36): I am sorry. I typed by mistake.
Kavita(18:37:51): Yes they can still reach you on sunday,
ben breeland(18:38:03): No problem. And if I am not home, what will they do?
Kavita(18:39:54): They will arrange a call back back and once you reach home you will get the call.
ben breeland(18:40:24): Ok. Thank you very much. I look forward to a resolution sometime tomorrow.
Kavita(18:40:39): Sure.

ben breeland(18:42:14): Kavita, I am not so sure Verizon cares about my experience.
Kavita(18:42:49): Verizon believes in permanent resolutions, so we will make sure that you will get the lost emails also.
ben breeland(18:43:11): Thanks, Kavita. I am not sure that is possible.

Kavita(18:47:12): You are welcome.

You don't go into the details as to why the account was suspended ... that background might be helpful since you're asking others for their opinion. In general it sounds like the account was "deleted" at which point all mail is bounced because the address no longer exists -- but Verizon holds the name in reserve for some period of time to prevent someone from re-registering it in case an error was made and for some level of security, I suppose.
Anyhow ... on your commentary about not using an @verizon.net address as your primary address ... I think you will have this with many providers. Hotmail, Yahoo, and Gmail all do this if you terminate the account (they do have a suspended account due to inactivity feature which operates differently, but pretty much do the same thing for deletions and such. I don't use the @verizon.net account as my primary for a different reason however -- my primary address is provider agnostic. I can move providers (although I'm quite happy with FiOS at the moment) -or- if at some point down the road I have to move out of Verizon territory, my email address will not need to change. I used this little fact to my advantage when I moved from Comcast to Verizon a few years ago -- no one knew I changed providers because my email address didn't change. Now .. I don't use one of the free services for email, I own my own domain name (about $10/year from the likes of GoDaddy) and have my domain hosted on the Google Apps tier (but even without that, GoDaddy will do basic forwarding for you of any email address to whatever mail account you're presently using). Something to think about.

When I move an email to a subfolder, I can no longer see it. I can see the email on my web email page.

Seems to happen quite frequently, and does not get fixed with Thunderbird updates. I have had to delete some emails in the past to get around this problem, and recreate the folder, but this is not an acceptable solution. The mail is a yahoo account accessed by imap.
Get lots of errors in the Error console, below. Any fix available without having to delete/recreate subfolders etc.

Lets start again hey. That error console might have a useful bit of information in it, but most of what shows up there is just junk.
Lets go to the crux of the issue. What do you mean you have to delete and recreate the folder?
Have you tried right clicking the folder, selecting properties and then the repair button?
Have you tried creating an exemption for the Thunderbird profile folder in your anti virus program?
Have you tried disabling email scanning in your anti virus program?

HT204380 Does anyone have experience using wifi ipad mini in Kazakhstan?

Has anyone had experience using the ipad mini wifi in Kazakhstan?
If so, any suggestions or comments as to Face Time use, settings, apps, VPN, are much appreciated.
Thanks!

These cables do not work. I have one myself that I thought I would try, basically VGA ports transmit an analogue signal, HDMI carries digital signals. You would need a powered convertor where you can plug in VGA, the box does the magic and outputs HDMI. These claim to do the trick:
http://www.tvcables.co.uk/cgi-bin/tvcables/vga-to-hdmi-converter.html
I have no association with tvcables.co.uk or the manufacturer of the box, but you should look for something like this, it carries your audio too.

Blocking Web-Email Issue...

Hey Hi All of you!!!
I'm using TMG 2010 and I want to block web based email like gmail, hotmail yahoo-mail. I've added web-email URL category, Domain set and URL set as well, I checked and it worked for yahoo and hotmail and I say even for gmail but only in Internet explorer
but when I checked in other browsers like chrome and firefox gmail couldn't be blocked by these browsers. One more thing when set TMG proxy in browsers then it worked but not with SecureNAT, Why firefox and chrome can't blocked gmail? Your help help would
be appreciated...!

Hi,
>>"One more thing when set TMG proxy in browsers then it worked but not with SecureNAT"
The URL Filtering doesn’t do HTTPS categorization for Secure NAT requests.
Enable HTTPS Inspection: with HTTPS Inspection enabled, it will be possible to enforce the URL Filtering for requests that use HTTPS and are coming from SecureNAT clients.
Fore more information:
Unable to block access for a web site using URL Filtering Override option on TMG 2010

Error when starting Firefox 3.6. "Javascript Application error. Invalid username/password combination. If you continue to get this error, try entering your email address as your username." Any suggestions on what to look for to resolve this?

When starting Mozilla Firefox 3.6, I get an error window which opens up additionally overtop my browser windows stating:
"Javascript Application"
followed with :
"Invalid username/password combination. If you continue to get this error, try entering your email address as your username."
Obviously it is happening with one of my email addresses/usernames & password combinations of which I know the username for (which I choose not to post here) and I'm not sure where to begin looking for a resolution to this problem.

I was able to resolve this by disabling (under Tools - Add-ons) Yahoo! Mail Notifier
Hope this helps some of you also!

I cannot sync my iphone music, i had used my i phone on another pc, now when i bought a song on this computer from the apple store, i have just been sent an email that says Your Apple ID, was just used to purchase "" by a computer or device not prev assoc

i cannot sync my iphone music, i had used my i phone on another pc, which died. Ive managed to save the hard drive and transfer stuff across. I ended up smashing my phone and could update all other stuff on restore but cant sync any music. It is all grey at the top of the screen. Ive re installed itunes and cleared all phone data. Now when i bought a song on this computer from the apple store, i have just been sent an email that says Your Apple ID, was just used to purchase (a song ) by a computer that had not been previously associated with that apple id. So do i have to tell apple now somehow i am using itunes on this pc, and if so how? Because i authorised it and it said this pc was one of 5 aujthorised. if anyone can be of assistance then great!

I'm having a similar problem. I had previously (over a year ago) purchased 2 episodes of Law & Order. Then about 2 months ago, I purchased the 3rd season of Sons of Anarchy. When I downloaded these episodes to my iPad, about a dozen full seasons of various shows popped up, too. No money was removed from my iTunes account & theses particular shows aren't in my iTunes library on my desktop. I've tried every which way to delete them from my ipad, but can't. I went to the Apple store & they suggested I contact expresslane.apple.com for help. I submitted my problem, via email Friday, as they asked, but have not received any response. Any suggestions on how to get rid of these "phantoms?".

When the page is submitted for approval by using SharePoint OOTB Page Approval Workflow, it takes quite long time and prompt error message as below.
"The form cannot be submitted to the Web server either because your computer is offline or because the host server is currently unavailable.
If this problem persists, contact your network administrator."
It only happens in Internet Explorer version 8 and 9. IE version below 8 is not used in environment.
But it is working in Firefox.
Please help me on how to fix this issue.
Thanks.
