I am not sure I understand. So you have to try to copy a file (Mac --> PC) to get access denied and that makes it possible for (PC --> Mac) to work when it didn't work before you got the access denied message. Also connecting works (Mac --> PC) fine without having to do anything elaborate.
Connecting (Mac --> PC) works for viewing files only? My setup worked fine when I made sure I was on the same wireless network, and opened up a port on the PC firewall, and started up Windows Sharing on the Mac side.
Also just a word of warning. People freak out when they see MAC or Apple (When refering to a Mac) instead of Mac. It might even be confusing for some networking folks since MAC means something different.

The liner notes is something I REALLY want. They should take the digital booklet to the next level. You could click on the album art, and up pops the digital booklet, using some cool Core Animation stuff so you can flick through it like the real thing.
I can't see them linking to YouTube videos (more likely link to the music video on the Store). But I'd love to see them enhance it so I can link a music video to a song, instead of having it as a separate entry in the library. Each song with a video linked to it would have the music video icon on the right hand side. Double click on a song and it plays the normal MP3 audio, click on the music video icon and it plays the music video.
And lyrics aswell, definitely. I use a dashboard widget at the minute which is easy enough, but would be nice to have a good way to view them in iTunes (Getting info is not a good way, before anyone says :P)

But those are 3.5" HDDs, dukebound85 was looking for 2.5" HDDs.
Thanks....but not really helpful as they are all desktop hard drives
My mistake. I appear to making a lot of reading mistakes recently. :confused:

As long as both iBooks are the same size 12" or 14", the battery is interchangeable. Only way to find out if the battery works is to try it out. But like already mentioned, it will probably be severely degraded and who knows, it could last 5 minutes or 3 hours. Just try it and find out.

Absolutely no reason to spend any more than �5 on a cradle and �10 ish on an in car charger (dependant upon how fat you intend to travel - battery should last 2-3 hours without)
This setup has served me for 18 months on a 3GS without issue and iPhone 4 gps reception is even better!

Nermal, you're a hero ! Thanks ! Just when I thought I had given up finding something out there that was capable of .RA-to.MP3 conversions, you came along ! Hijack works a treat. Brilliant ! By the way, I could NEVER be 'that desperate' in buying Virtual PC ! Thanks again :-)

I would keep the mini and save some cash and with the rebate purchase a new nano; for the mini in time to come say 10 years or more will become an "antique" :rolleyes:
Hopefully the Mac mini that I'm interested in will still be running in 10 years. Since I missed out on the Cube, don't want to miss out on the mini.

Well, I'm doing a shool work, where whe had to come up with an product. My idea is an iPod touch phone-case (more information in the link). So if you have an iPod touch, please answer my 4 questions at: http://www.quibblo.com/quiz/b-_YP5W/...uch-phone-case
Thanks in advance
Albert
PS, I know that Apple would do everything to not let me sell this product and ruin my idea, but when you vote, just ignore the reality.

Just copy the data to the external, make sure it is there and then delete it from the internal HD.
That easy huh? Thanks! I can always drag it back to my MacBook HD right if I have a customer who wants a specific photo? Thanks!

I actually think youtube looks quite clean and professional now when embedded in websites.
There's not much you can change, besides the color (I think) and size, which don't really matter.
I would say, don't include related videos at the end.. here's a little hack for you.
Here's a normal YouTube embed html code:
<iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/UkvNmb9tMII" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen></iframe>
put &rel=0 at the end of the youtube url in the code to disable related videos.
So besides doing that, YouTube looks pretty good to me already.
If you really want to look professional, go with Vimeo (http://vimeo.com).

So waloshin creates a thread with a digg post that is actually his blog about the price of games aka attempting to drive traffic to his blog....
Got it
I too do not think it will change from what the prices have typically been at.

I dloaded that iphone3,1_4.3.2.zip file. (which was selected when I picked the iphone4, 4.3.2 selection. When I unzip it, there is no .ipsw in it. all I find is a bunch of .dmg files and other folders.
Change the file name from 4.3.2.zip to 4.3.2.ipsw

PowerMacs G5 for climate simulation needed
The destruction of New Orleans by hurricane has shown the importance of climate for life on our planet. The distributed-computing-project "www.climateprediction.net" tries to explore our climate and its changes in the near future.
Sulphates act to scatter solar radiation and reduce the amount of solar energy reaching the surface. The reduction in solar radiation cools the surface and reduces the warming effect caused by greenhouse gases. So, a prediction of the climate in the 21st century needs to contain the effects of sulphate aerosol. Otherwise the warming trend may be overestimated. This is called the 'global dimming' effect. Therefore the Oxford university in Great Britain created a special "sulphur cycle experiment" within the "climateprediction"-project.
From this experiment it is hoped that scientists will be able to better understand the range of uncertainty in climate models due to the parameters in the sulphur cycle. This information will then be used in the following experiments of climateprediction.net.
The project has just released a special MacOSX-client for the "sulphur cycle experiment", which is very crunch-intensive and needs powerful Macs in order to be completed successfully. On a P4 3.0 in Linux, running stand-alone, one Sulphur Cycle Model requires approximately 39 days (@24/7). Therefore exspect an uptime of 35 up to 60 days for a PowerMac G5 to complete just one Sulphur cycle model. Moreover you will need a quick internet connection to do the upload and download of project files.
Exspect about one gigabyte datas to be downloaded on your harddisk during the whole run and about 20 megabytes datas which have to be uploaded. The datas of the experiment will need up to three gigabytes volume on your harddisk.
This is only a job for powerusers who want to demonstrate the power of the most modern Apple technology and their real interest in the future of mankind.

I have been working with Aperture 3 for a while. It occasionally freezes or crashes, but otherwise all is well.
Today however the 'adjustment' panel suddenly went empty: all I can see now are the drop down buttons for 'Presets' and 'Adjustments'.
I am not in 'Quick Preview'.
I have repeatedly restarted my computer.
I have restarted Aperture.
I have deleted Aperture preference files in the library.
I have repaired the Aperture library database.
Still no luck.
Any polite suggestions?
Thanks.

Apple's main mini page still says "Introducing the new Mac mini." 8 months after the current model's release. I'd guess they won't be doing anything new for a while.

I'm currently trying to build up several audio systems bit-by-eventually-replaceable-bit, and I was hoping to get a little advice.
First, I mainly use a late-2008 MacBook in my home office hooked up to a Dayton APA-150 that I so far quite like, with that driving a pair of Polk Audio M-40s that I picked up for less than $100 new. I have a few thousand mp3 with bit rates varying from 32 to 320, with most at 192 or better, a few thousand ALAC files ripped from my CDs, and a growing handful of higher-resolution files from HD Tracks.
I'm presently thinking my upgrade path will be as follows:
Add a DAC now, in the future possibly a headphone amp, and maybe even a preamp/input switcher. At some point, the speakers will go to the living room, where I originally intended them, and will be replaced with something slightly smaller - Dayton b652s to start with, since they're cheap, then on to something better when I can afford it. I wouldn't mind adding a sub one day. The problem is, WHAT dac, headphone amp, etc?
In terms of DACs, I definitely want both USB and optical inputs, something that will handle the higher resolution files I'm just getting into, and if at all possible, something with a form factor roughly comparable to my amp. I've looked into the Fubar Mk II, Mk 4, and the Teradak Chameleon, but I'm hoping for more ideas in the US$200-400 range. Any advice?
Next, I currently have no audio gear in my living room at all, and I'd like to change that asap. Unfortunately, this also seems to be the area where I have the least clue on how to get started. In the living room, I currently have a PS3 and a few older game systems. I hope one day to add a Mac Mini to play digital music, just as my laptop does in the other room, to largely replace the PS3 for Netflix, and to play old emulated games. I don't have or care about cable, satellite, etc, just an antenna. I mostly use Netflix and DVDs, and don't care very much about BluRays.
For lack of a better idea, a receiver seems like the way to at least get started, and the Yamaha RX-V667 looks nice and seems to get good reviews. I don't care much about surround sound and have no place for rears at the moment, but it would be nice to hook everything up to one box and then have just the one cable headed to the TV instead of the mess of spaghetti back there now.
That said, there's something very nice about just putting in a CD and listening to music, without the TV being on - to simply push 'Play' and not have to bother with anything else. For this reason, at the very least I would like to add a decent stand-alone CD player or transport.
So, the big questions here are:
Will a receiver like the 667 and Mini be good enough to do most of my listening until I have the space and money to invest in a dedicated, audio-only setup, or should I skip on an a/v receiver altogether and go ahead and with an amp, CD player/transport, and DAC, more like I have in the office? Can I send audio from the Mini to the DAC in the receiver over HDMI, or will I have to run a separate TOSLINK? People have told me an Apple TV would be a better choice than a Mini, but just what is the ATV capable of audio-wise?
Lastly, I would like to put together a very small system for the bedroom. I plan on using an old 3rd gen iPod as the main source. The iPod only charges over FireWire, and its battery is shot, but I still want to get use out of it. How can I best put it to use?
