What happened?? (people with mac's)

i was lisenting to my ipod touch and i triple pressed to home button to bring it out of sleep so i could change the song (without unlocking it) and i had accidently hit the screen when the controls went away and this volume symbol i have never seen on my ipod popped up. it looked like the volume symbol when you adjust the volume on mac, with the picture of a speaker and the little boxes under it... can any body explain what happened, it still works fine but i was just curious...thanks

I've had it too. It looks like the volume control on a iPhone (when you use the external buttons).
I think it's just a software glitch coming through from the original iphone OS. It's nothing to worry about.

Installing Windows XP on macbook pro - what happens to your mac afterwards?

Hello,
First time mac user, and I miss windows for it's wide girth of video games, so I am thinking to install windows xp with boot camp assistant.
What happens to your mac afterwards? Does it run as perfectly smooth as before? Does it get slower? Does it develop weird glitches? Will it crash and freeze? If you don't like it, can you restore your computer to how it was before?
And if you download a video game torrent that has a virus even if you scanned it with anti-virus software through windows, and the virus infects your mac, does it only affect the windows partition or does it affect your entire mac?
Thanks,
Purplestar

Would formatting the partitions differently (where so the windows partition cannot even see the mac partition) prevent drive erasure?
Not really. Under normal circumstances, neither OS X or Windows would let you erase or format the startup drive, but a lot of effort goes into crafting Windows malware to subvert even its most basic protections. If the malware is sufficiently crafty, it could conceivably attack the low level formatting that defines the partition scheme of the drive, bypassing any attempts to hide a partition.
Note that this would be possible with OS X as well, but malware has to get past the defenses of any OS before it can do anything so fundamental. Both OS X & Windows 7 (if not the earlier versions) get high marks for security. It is just that the risk of this happening is greater with Windows because of the sheer volume & diversity of attacks focused on that OS.
That's why it is so important to have effective, up-to-date anti-virus software when running Windows. It isn't so much that any malware could do this today. The concern is that some clever new type of attack could appear & do this, perhaps as a byproduct of trying to take control of the machine & hide code or data where there would normally be no trace of it.
Thanks peeps! I just got a 500 GB harddrive and I'm trying to figure out how best to partition it as a web designer so I can safely use windows.
As you probably know, Boot Camp Assistant is designed to easily handle the necessary formatting chores to set the drive up for dual booting, & there is no reason not to use it. I'm not by any means an expert on Windows & I don't know how much design work you plan on doing on the Windows side, so I can't really suggest appropriate sizes for the two partitions, other than to emphasize the need to leave enough room on the Windows partition for the anti-virus software.
Also, on a related topic, do not forget that you need to back up at least all your user-created files for both OS's, & that this should be done on an entirely separate drive that can physically be disconnected from your Mac for the best insurance against any misfortune, including but not limited to successful malware attacks.

What happens when synching Mac iPod to my Windows laptop?

I have only used my 4th gen iPod with my iMac. I also have a PC (XP) laptop with iTunes also. I am on vacation for 2 months with only my PC laptop and want to sync my iPod with iTunes on it to listen to podcasts.
How do I do that?
What happens when I do that?
What will I lose on it?
Will it be easy to reset it for use with my iMac when I return home?
Thanks.

Hello Gatlas,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
How do I do that?
You will not be able. A PC cannot read a Mac formatted iPod. Upon plugging the iPod in, you will be asked to reformat the iPod for Windows. After doing so, you will be able to sync it with your PC, but reformatting or restoring the iPod will wipe all content from the iPod and set it back to its original default settings.
However, after doing so, you can set it up to "manually manage music and videos" by enabling this option from your iPod's Summary tab. This will allow you to sync content to the iPod from multiple computers. And since it will be formatted for a PC as FAT32, it is cabable of being read and written to by Macs as well. For more help and information on syncing your iPod with multiple computers, see this Apple support document.

Hope this helps.

HT4898 what happens to my mac email account

what will happen to my .mac email account when i move to iCloud? Will I maintain my apple ID?

Your email address will continue as it does now, and you will retain your Apple ID so nothing changes in that respect.
If you're not using Mac OS X 10.7.2 or later you'll need to manually setup the new email server addresses:

Html mail programs - what's up with Mac

more clues - found this - again - CAN DO on the PC in Outlook - CANNOT DO on the mac
HTML Mail Support
Tiger Mail uses Apple's new WebKit authoring engine, creating complex HTML email messages with Mail's trademark simplicity. However, most of the power of that engine is inaccessible. Aside from the addition of an "Add Hyperlink…" menu item, Mail's composition window offers no better text or layout controls than 10.0's Mail did in 2001.
But intriguingly, Safari RSS has a menu item to send an entire web page as the contents of an email message. Your email message is the web page, complete with links, style sheets, layout, formatting, even advertising and embedded Flash media! (By the way, this incredibly rich messaging seems to trigger some spam filters.) And it's all editable, sort of. One can add and delete text and attachments, but not edit style sheets, layout, or anything more complex than the Font Panel can handle. Even page margins and background colors are missing -- supported by the engine, but with no way to set them.
Mail has incredible potential for rich messaging but no easy way to access it. One could create a fancy mail template as a web page, publish it, and start every message by mailing that page, but that's not really rich messaging "for the rest of us."
People have been asking Apple for HTML composition for years, and, while Apple finally delivered it, we're not sure it's really what customers intended. (Kenny Grant's Balzac email client, with smart folders and beautiful full CSS HTML message templates, is more to the point.) Apple excels at beautiful design - look at Pages and Keynote - why not bring this design acumen to Mail and include beautiful, rich email templates? The new WebKit would support it.

What's wrong with Mac Mini Server's quality ?

Hi,
I am an owner of the Unibody Mac Mini Server 2010 for my business server.
When i bought it after two days use the HD started to fail. One with bad blocks and the other one with I/O errors. OSX froze many times. Did many tests and it showed bad blocks on one HD the second just failed some times.
The HD that are included are HTS725050A9A362.
I took the Mini to an Authorized Repair place. They replaced one HD. Gave it back to me. I then realized that they only replaced one HD. Took it back again and then they replaced the second one as well. All fine took it back home installed everything again.
I have now use it for 3 months. Couple of weeks ago i woke up to a message box saying that the Mini has beed shutdown by some error. Could not find out what that error was but things looked to be running ok so i left it like that.
Today i woke up to a dead mac mini. It would not boot. It was sitting with the spinning weel so i made a reset of the RAM or whatever it's called you know Command + P + R. That made it go a little bit further. It now stopped with the Folder icon blinking meaning it could not find a boot disk. Hmmmm i thought. This can only be a disk error. Tried to boot with DVD and do repair but it did not work out.
To rescue my data from the second disk i booted in target mode and used my iMac to copy stuff over. Let me tell you that, that was not easy. Target mode worked like ****, maybe because of the first disk which was damaged dunno. When at last i opened the folder with my stuff the copy speed was ok. Funny enough i also managed to copy data from the disk that could not boot in target mode but i can't boot it so the disk is not really dead.
Now my problem is this. What to do ? I have warranty but i have a feeling that theese HD are not reliable so if Apple repairs the Mini again they will replace with the same HD which i am not interested in. I am willing to invest in 2 new HD myself which are not the same brand but i don't want to void the warranty and open the box.
I should add that i have 2 x 4gb memory inserted which is not Apple. I bought exactly what Apple recommend on their web page (CORSAIR 4GB DDR3 1066MHz model. CM3X4GSD1066 G). I do not think this has anything to do with the problems i see but i thought I'll mention it.
I can also mention that after first time the HD died i kept an eye on the temperatures and i had HD temperatures around 35C. The CPU was around 48-50C and the server was idling at 80-85%.
What can you recommend me i do ? Maybe all the problems that i have are just ****** quality by Apple. Maybe they squeezed the internal components to close and they run into these problems. I just don't know what i should do. It's not like that this is a computer...it's a server and MUST run continuously.

Are you certain the RAM is not causing this issue?
Was the original (2Gb-4Gb) RAM fitted when the 1st issue appeared?
Apple does not offer the current Mac mini + server with 8Gb RAM. It is likely that non OEM RAM can cause corrupted data on the HDD(s).
Is it not possible to fit the original RAM, format/reinstall the HDD and test the Mac mini the way it was shipped?.
The current Mac mini is positioned as a home or small business server plus there is no hardware reporting as found in an X-Serve. The HDD(s) used are as reliable as one would expect from a portable drive. Like the previous Mac mini's, the current models are reliable with few known issues until you replace parts that Apple may not have used in testing.
Since the arrival of the late 2009 mini, Apple uses sensors on the original HDD(s) which cause problems (either no boot or loud fan noise) if a different brand or model is fitted. The HDD needs to be compatible with the sensor(s). The 2010 Mac mini has taken it even further in that respect covering each drive with Mylar wrapping as well as the sensor. Apple really does not want users to swap parts out.

What's wrong with Mac G5 1.8 Machine?

I've searched the net, I've searched the forum with the whole fan noise issues and seen all possible solutions but none has worked for me.
I bought a used mac a while ago and now that I bought some PNY memory (2) 512MB chips that are designed specifically for my model and bought a Seagate 250MB SATA Drive for my second drive. Everything works fine, the system profiler detects everything.
However, everytime I install something or try to use a program the fans start spinning crazy and then it goes into sleep mode. I have to hit the ESC button a few times so the machine can wake back up.
I followed the suggestions on the net and on the forums about the energy saver and sliding the knobs to never. I put the Processor Performance to Highest. Everything else unchecked.
I downloaded that Temperature Monitor program from the Bresink site and what it tells me is the following:
CPU Temperature: 70.8C
Drive Bay: 25.5C
Smart Disk Maxtor: 47.0C
Smart Disk ST: 42.0C
I checked the Console under the system log for everytime this machine shuts off and it states:
IOSMUPwrController:: OverTemp Notification
Power Management received emergency overtemp signal. Going to sleep.
I did a search on the forums and google/yahoo for IOSMUPwrController and nothing appears for that keyword.
I took out the new PNY memory and it did the same thing so it's not my memory.
All I have in the G5 is a new Geethree Stealth Port I just put in for my Midi Timepiece.
I also put in from my previous G4 Quicksilver machine my Sonnet Area Extreme PCI Wireless network card.
Any other suggestions? I did that reset thing I had to do in terminal mode and that didn't do anything either.
I'm wondering if I have to replace the fans on the power supply because that noise reminds me of bad fans on a PC.
Saddest thing is that my PC is so 5 times quieter than my G5. Sad!
I don't have applecare or warrenty.
This is a G5 single processor 1.8Ghz the one that I can only max the memory to 4 GIGS not 8 GIGS. I think they state it's a late 2004 model.

I give up, I'm going to take a bat to this machine. I've had it. I have never seen a computer ever do this before not even a windows machine when it's fans are are about to expire.
Anyhow here's the latest logs from system console.

What Touch Screen with Mac Mini?

I need to set up a Mini with a Touch Screen to create a kiosk environment. It will have a card reader attached as well -- for student check-ins.
Aspect ratio doesn't matter nor does resolution. Size can be anything from 17" to 20".
Mini has DVI port, is a recent model (Core 2 Duo), Intel GMA 950 video.
Has anybody had any experience with touch screens on a Mac? What brands to look at? What to avoid?
Thanks
:O:
wd

I'm currently developing a touchscreen application to control television broadcast equipment using a Mac Mini (OS v10.5.2) and an Elotouch screen.
Both units fresh from China or wherever they're built.
The USB touch driver (v04.00.02) works fine when first installed.
But when the OSX Software Update is run, the touch driver fails.
I don't know why... might have something to do with those Elo clowns putting their stuff in a folder at the root of the hard drive. Who knows.
"Removing this device" (the red arrow in the elotouch UPPD Console App) and "adding" the device back made it work again. It required a reboot and running the Elo recalibration utility.
and now my 2 cents worth:
Mac Minis are great for custom applications that are typically put on embedded boards. The low cost per unit, ease of development and relatively tiny form factor make them the perfect "stick up" device that you can wedge just about anywhere.
The location I'm installing this particular solution specifies Mac or Linux OS. Due to security concerns, Windows boxes aren't allowed unless there is no other option available for a particular application.
I'm building 2 identical units for a 24-7 system. So if/when the first one smokes itself in 1-to-5 years, the 2nd one gets swapped in. Using an external net share to hold a few K of data, the control system comes back on line in a few short minutes.
Dirt cheap redundancy (compared to the other NASA-like gigabuck systems in place here.)
Mac Minis rock. As long as they keep making them, they will continue to be my first choice for "embedded" systems (that require fancy interfaces.)

What version works with Mac 10.6.6 ?

I'm working on a new Intel Mac with OS 10.6.6. I downloaded Adobe Reader 10.0.1, thinking that that would install the whole program. Wrong. It asked me what version of an existing Adobe Reader program I wanted to update. But I don't have any version of Reader on this computer. What do I need to do now?
Thanks.

Hi,
Adobe Reader 10.0.1 works with OS X 10.6.6.
You have probably downloaded the update package rather than the full reader installer. Request you to download and install Reader from: http://get.adobe.com/reader
Or you can also use direct download ftp link for english version:
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/mac/10.x/10.0.1/en_US/AdbeRdr1001 _en_US.dmg
Thanks,

What's up with Mac Mail settings not porting and being so laborious?

i am wondering why at such a late date (Mountain Lion and iOS6) i am entering NINE (9!) entries for my email accounts on my iPhone and having to enter my email address for the new account THREE (3!) times - and then having to do this again for EIGHT (8) entries on both my laptop and my desktop.
i have had to do this again due to porting my website to a new host and - well - at a minimum it would be nice to get iOS 6 to only require me to enter my address ONE time (this means that for my ten email accounts on the iPhone i would cut down my entries from 90 to 70 which would be great).
then if there is some way to /port/ my email setting from my laptop to my desktop (assuming i am running the same OS on both) this would mean i would only have to enter an additional 80 entries instead of the 160 i have to do now.
am i missing some EXPORT utility in Mac Mail in Mountain Lion or - well - or is this software somehow not interested in making my life easier in 2013?
THANKS

I tried the technique in that linked article with another account on my Mac. It works, but I think you'd be better off setting up the accounts. Here's what I needed to do (note changes with Mountain Lion).
Open you user/Library folder and copy the Mail folder to an external.
Open the containers folder and copy com.apple.mail folder to external (ML change)
On the destination Mac, select Get Info on each of the folders.
Unlock the padlock in the sharing and permissions section.
Click the Add button and add yourself. Set you to read/write.
Select you, then use the Gear menu to make you the owner.
Select any of the other users (except everyone) and delete them.
Copy the folders into you User/Library folder in the same locations they came from.
If you don't transfer the keychain, then you'll have to set the passwords for all the accounts, along with the SMTP server password, if set.
Your original plan I think was easier.

What monitor works with mac mini

I am new to the Apple/Mac computer world, I am considering a used Mac mini, I would like to know if I can use my old flat screen lcd monitor? Does anyone have any input on what specifications I should look for in a Mac mini?
Thanks in advance for any informatin.
Charles

That is an old Mini. It can't go higher than OSX 10.5.8.
Your Mini has a DVI video output port and you can get adopters to support VGA , S-Video and composite video monitors

What is it with Macs and LAN?

I have a MacBook Pro 13" that is new with Lion. I am having the worst problem getting an internet connection with either airport express connected to a work place LAN or with the LAN connected directly to the computer. Sometimes I can get a connection by playing with different configurations in network preferences but what works one time won't work the next time. This is the case with both airport express and direct connection. But here's the weird thing. I have no problems what so ever when I boot up into Windows 7 via boot camp. Is it Lion that's the problem? Anyone have any clues? Note also that I have no problems when connected to my home cable internet weather direct or with airport express.
