What do I buy? I was going to get a mini and a ipad.

As I said. I thought I was going to be smart and buy a mac mini and a ipad. Basically use the mini as a server/ hard drive and dvd/cd player via HDMI.
But the new mini has no hard drive.
At present we have an old macbk pro too old to run iphone 4.  A mac book and an airport, an iPhone 4 and a couple of pods.
My wife uses the mac to simply surf the net and answer emails. She has an iPhone 4 and would be an ideal candidate for an Ipad-...except she loves the idea of sitting in bed and watching a (girly) movie. It sort of rules out the ipad.
I know I could use Handbrake and put the dvd into itunes and then she could watch it. But this is making a simple process of hire dvd- insert and watch a whole lot more complicated and not really legal (at all).
I think that the choice I am left with is buying a macbook pro and an apple TV and  seeing where things take us.
How do I get HD video out of a macpro and on to TV?

    When I pre ordered my iphone 6 i was told I was going to get an additional 1 gig of data per month for a year.  It even shows it on the receipt i received with the phone.  When will I see that reflected on my account.  I have had my new phone for a week and used tons more data than usual and am hoping that will save me this month.

    concretedonkey, I'm glad you were able to take advantage of this offer when you ordered your new iPhone 6. I can certainly review your account to ensure this was added for you. Please reply to the direct message I have sent you.

    Good.
    Three things come to mind:
    1.  I think you're implying when you travel away from your home to a more populated area, the cellular coverage improves and your iPhone works well.  Is that right?
    2.  Do you have a case or some other obstruction over or near your iPhone's antenna?  Have you tried moving or removing any possible obstructions near the antenna?
    3.  AT&T has a (free) app in the App Store called "Mark the Spot".  You can use this app to report voice and/or data issues to AT&T, as well as keep up on progress they may be making in improving coverage in your area.  Your trouble reports are geotagged (if you wish).

    Be aware that you do not need to purchase SmartNET for your APs.
    Thanks for the ratings, Marek.
    Be aware that nearly all 802.11n APs (some exclusion to AP1250) are covered under the new Cisco Limited Lifetime Warranty.  Read through the link provided.  This is why I posted that you do not need maintenance contract for the APs.  The main thing to understand is that if you need to RMA your AP, it'll take 10-business days for the replacement part to be sent.
    I have spoken to some Cisco Authorized Reseller and some Cisco TAC engineers who insist that the Cisco LLW don't exist or doesn't apply to BLAH model.  Don't be fooled.

  • So,i was going to get my new iphone 5.

    yeah guys.. I'm sure u've heard.. whatsapp stopped working on anything below ios 4.3.1. ... this is so not good. for me it stopped working about 6 hours ago. it's most likely not even your fault, but it does fall back on apple. I now have a serious problem with my girlfriend who doesn't believe an app will just stop working.. so did I find it hard to believe seeing I paid for it only 7 months ago in the app store..
    Seeing it was just christmas, I was going to get myself an nice new shiny iphone 5, having been happy with my ipod4 and iphone 3.but now after trying to get this to work agein and scanning various forums I think I will have to opt for another brand. though I would rather stick with mz trusted apple product, this is something very dissapointing, and not understandable.
    s there anything you are going to do about this?

    You are not addressing Apple here at all.
    We are all iphone suers just like you.
    The app does not simply stop working.
    Whatsapp updated their app.  When they did, they made it compatible with ios 4.3 or later.
    If you have an iphone 3gs or later, simply update your ios.
    If you have iphone 3g, you should not update your app.  If you do not update the app, then you can still use it.
    If this causes you to change phones, then go right ahead.  Seems a very small issue to me, as this is not unusual with any device, Apple or not.

  • Ipod touch 4th gen needed a new screen and sleep/wake switch.  So, I replace them.  I was able to get to settings and do "erase all content and settings".  I am not able to totally shut this device off as it keeps restarting after a few seconds.

    Ipod touch 4th gen needed a new screen and sleep/wake switch.  So, I replace them.  I was able to get to settings and do "erase all content and settings".  I am not able to totally shut this device off as it keeps restarting after a few seconds.  I have used itunes to restore and also recover.  Device will actually shut off and stay shut off if I leave it connected to the computer.  The moment I unplug (3 seconds) the apple logo appears, it boots, unlock screen appears, I can unlock and operate normally, unplugged or not.  Just cant get it to completely shut down unplugged.  Any thoughts?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
      - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem. Maybe you installed a bad component or damaged something during the repair/replacement.
    Apple will not help since you worked on the iPod yourself.

    To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
    Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them.

  • My fascinate, decided it was going to reset, lose service, and tell me it is 2004.. help?

    Around 1:30 am, I was texting, and all of a sudden, my fascinate resets itself. Once I get this crap phone working, I see that I no longer have service. Then, I check the time. It says "7:03 pm. Friday, December 31st, 2004"... What on EARTH happened? I have tried turning it off and taking the battery out, and nothing,
    Another issue I have been having is getting it to charge. When I plug it in, it doesn't charge, So I have to hold it just right, or set it up just right, so that it can charge so I can hear the alarm in the morning.
    PLEASE HELP ASAP!!

    it would be nice if you shared the fix with others who are having the same problem...like me, for instance!

  • Are we going to get an explanation and an apology from Oracle?

    Are we going to get any comment from Oracle about the forum upgrade debacle?
    An unannounced upgrade, providing what seemed to be reduced functionality, followed by a rollback and loss of posts. And today, silence.

    Jim i hope oracle will revert back the same very soon and no loss of any post.Oracle should have backup before any maintenance job ,but question arise here there is also shuffling between accounts what can be done for that scenario.

  • What did you buy that was more powerful than necessary... but totally worth it?

    Hey folks, hope you guys will tune into this week'sOn the Air (10am CT on 7/15)where we are talking about "The MostPowerful Workstations in the Universe!"We're going to talk with HPand Spicehead Travis0729about why and when you need to go above and beyond regular consumer-grade laptops and desktops and what's available if you do.Of course, in these cases, usually the added power is warranted and makes sense. Today I'm more interested in when it's completely UNNECESSARY, but totally worth it.For me, it would definitely have to be my Vitamix blender. Not sure if any of you have one but this blender is so powerful it can actually heat up soup through the friction of the blades alone. You can even argue it's still easier to blend the soup and then heat it up separately, but no, it's not nearly as cool.
    So let me know if there's anything...
