I replaced the ATV2 on my Living Room TV with a 2009 mac mini to use Plex on that TV. The video quality looks alot better with the same video files with the ATV2 compared to the mini running out a display port to HDMI jack into HDMI on the set. Now some of it could be the playback quality of Plex itself, but is there anything I could do to get the output closer to the ATV? The mini is running at res 1080p out to an Onkyo Reciever the TX606 into the TV. The ATV was also going the same route.

Not sure what's wrong then, especially if you tried to repair the disk through the disk utility and it was fine. That I/O error should have been corrected.
Hopefully someone with a bit more knowledge than me will respond here because other than using disk utility via the OS X install dvd to repair the disk, the only other thing I can think of is to reformat the entire disk.

You'd need a TV tuner for the Mac that does the recording.
If you get one from Elgato, it should come with the awesome EyeTV software that can convert the recordings and put them into iTunes when done.
Once in iTunes, as long as that minis iTunes is setup for sharing, any other Mac or AppleTV should be able to stream it wirelessly.
If you're planning on recording digital cable or satellite channels, that gets trickier because you need a set-top box. If you're just recording over-the-air or analog (standard def, non-digital) cable channels, that's a lot easier IMO.
Have you thought about using a regular mini w/ an external drive instead of the mini server? And would AppleTVs in the remote rooms work instead of minis? Their UI is easier to use with a remote, IMO.

Hey folks, my friends iPod Classic 80gb 6th Generation iPod has a crappy distorted sound when tunes are played from it.
He sent it away to get fixed thinking it would be the headphone jack that was the problem - they got back to him and said that it was the Logic board at fault, and charged over �79.99 +VAT for this repair.
When it came back, all seemed to work okay, except a very short battery life.
A week later, the iPod froze with no backlight (the menu was still visible but not reacting to any button presses)
Nothing happened when the charger was plugged in, so we held the Menu Button + the Select button, and it rebooted successfully however the orginal problem came back of distorted sound....:-(
Very unhappy as �79.99 was a lot to pay for it be broken again so soon.
Can anyone shed any light onto why this may of happened?
Was he right by saying it was the logic board at fault?
Cheers
James

I personally use the Spyder2 Pro (version 3 is current version) which calibrates the monitor as well as printers through printing of IT-8 color charts that you then measure with the included colorimeter.
That package cost me around $500 (currently goes for $539 - http://spyder.datacolor.com/product-pp-s3studiosr.php), but if you need just monitor calibration, that goes for $169 (http://spyder.datacolor.com/product-mc-s3pro.php).
Pantone Huey Pro is also another monitor calibrator that seems to have gotten relatively good reviews and is around $100 (http://www.pantone.com/pages/products/product.aspx?pid=562&ca=2).
There's also X-Rite Eye-One (http://www.pantone.com/pages/products/product.aspx?pid=108&ca=2) and is on sale for $199 right now.

You are correct, but your MBP in target disk mode. It will then mount on your iMac like a regular drive. From there you can get any files off it you want then you can go into disk utilities and wipe the disk and reinstall the OS by using the iMacs optical drive.
That said you'll be better off buying a new optical drive and installing before selling. The cost of an optical drive is much less than what you'll have to discount your MBP to for it not being 100% functional. Plus people will suspect other things are wrong if the optical drive doesn't work.

Your results may vary.
really? my quote for the pb 800 uprgraded with the RAM special is 3-5 days, and the stock config is 1-2 days

Has anyone at the show done 'About This Mac' on a MacBook Air?
I would have thought that the new trackpad options would need new software, but I'm guessing someone would have noticed by now.
(Unless they are just using a bespoke 10.5.1 for the show models, and 10.5.2 will come out when they are actually shipped...?)

I do not know anything about this rearth. But I want to tell about what was this earth means for, it was one of the way by which we can tell thank you to God to give the birth on this earth and give the opportunity to lead myself to do the able to do work, and again thank to God to show this beautiful nature or atmosphere to me.

I think I know what you are talking about. If I close my PB and open in the next 5 seconds or so, it doesn't wake up. I have to press a key to get it to wake. I think it doesn't finish going to sleep or something. I've learned to just deal with it.

Creating a website which will preview CD albums by offering mp3 samples.. Is there any software out there which will automatically create these samples for you? I saw some posts about creating an itunes script which can perhaps do this but I have no experience with it. A nice bonus would be to have the fade in fade out added to the start and end of the sample.
thanks!

Sounds like you need a inverter and you can find them on ebay here (http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_trkparms=65%253A1%257C66%253A2%257C39%253A1&rt=nc&_nkw=macbook+inverter&_sticky=1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_sop=15&_sc=1).

I've been going through many threads and can't decide on a particular setup so I thought I'd open up a thread and get some opinions.
I'm currently doing my masters in aero. engineering and also fly planes on the side/am working towards my commercial license. After I'm finished (in about 4 months) I plan on potentially doing med. school and continuing to fly. I've currently got the 27" i7 iMac at home which I use quite often, but can't decide on whether or not to get and keep a 11" Macbook Air (upgraded 4gb) or iPad 2 (64gb wifi) (I picked up both and have about a week and a half left to return either one).
I've been leaning towards the air since it seems to be the more versatile option, but on the other hand since I have a regular desktop/full mac at home I feel like having something low power on the road to be the better option.

Thank you, guys.
Indded it seems that infrastracture for multiple simultaneous logins in place,
but need some tweaking.
Thanks for the pointing to fast user switching - will dig in this direction
Not graphical ones: Quartz basically only expects one active user at a time

You can either replace the internal hard drive, but that's quite difficult. Or you could simply buy an external hard drive. You can get 2tb for under �100 now.

first result in google for epson stylus pro 4880 gives the answer on tech specs
3mm all round or 3mm on top and sides with 14mm on bottom
http://www.epson.co.uk/Printers-and-All-In-Ones/Large-Format/Epson-Stylus-Pro-4880/Tech-Specs
Cheers
Why not print on a larger sheet, include bleeds and trim it down?
Then your nearly borderless presentation will be truly borderless.
Those uneven borders can be so vexing.
the printer can't print bigger than A2 I don't think.
3mm is fine anyway.
thanks for the help

The physical "home" button on the phone? There isn't anything, really.
Are you talking about a button you made? If so, just connect it to an IBAction in Interface Builder.
Sorry if this isn't helpful, but we need more information.
Thanks, for answer.
I dont know exactly, what is the name of this button.
But i think about the only button in the bottom part of the device (iPad, Ihpone) (the round button with the square ))) )
