What will you use it for? That determines is the high-end worth it for you. For basic tasks, it is not but if you do something CPU intensive, then it can be.

So I can't seem to find a definitive answer to my question online in various searches. Two times recently when I started my Mini it beeped first before starting up. The first time was definitely the three beeps, as if bad memory. I have 3GB, 1 GB is the original memory + 2GB from OWC. I have had the memory in the mini for more than a year. I do have 8GB of memory available, just been to lazy to tear open the mini & put it in.
Today, a few days after the 3 beeps, the Mini started with a series of beeps. I am sure it wasn't the 3 beeps, more like 4 or more I think. Then it would restart the beep series. This happened a few times, then the Mini started normally.
I also occasionally hear a scratching like noise come from the mini every now & then.
Just wondering if anyone here had any ideas. I do have Applecare on the machine ( I got it the very last day ), so I am assuming Apple will help. I also have an Apple store relatively close by, but it's such a crowded zoo, that I'd rather avoid that if possible.
Thanx

Golden rule: do not buy no name RAM. Most of it won't work.
Well known brands like Crucial/Micron, Corsair, Kingston, Hynix, Samsung, Infineon etc. will work. RAM must be low density (ask seller before buying in case of any doubts).

Anyone else psyched about the Thunderbolt port (http://www.apple.com/thunderbolt/) in the new MBPs for their Aperture/Lightroom library external drives?
All this time I've pined for the mythical xMac so I could have access to an eSATA port without shelling out for a Mac Pro. I've even considered getting the big-arsed 17" MBP with the Express/34 slot and a matching eSATA card. Last month I almost ordered a 27" iMac just so I could send it off to OWC to have them do their eSATA port surgery (http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/turnkey/iMac_2010_27). :eek:
With the new Thunderbolt port, I can now keep the portability of a smaller MBP but still get much-faster-than-FireWire-800 drives to host my Aperture and Lightroom libraries. (I'll still need FireWire for my recording audio interfaces, at least until Apogee or MOTU make Thunderbolt-compatible audio interfaces.)
Now, if LaCie (http://www.lacie.com/us/technologies/technology.htm?id=10039) or Promise (http://www.promise.com/storage/raid_series.aspx?from=search®ion=en-US&m=151&rsn1=40&rsn3=47) or whoever would just get around to shipping an actual Thunderbolt drive array... :cool:

SOunds like HDD or RAM to me...got any mates you can borrow a known good 128MB DIMM from that you could pop in there just to prove RAM one way or the other, same for the HDD?
hey edesignuk, thank u so much for ur reply!
ya, do u think it's a RAM issue? i thought it might have to be cuz there's not much else it could be, but i didn't think it'd act the way it is... i have a dual 1.8 G5, but i dunno if i could use that RAM cuz it's PC3200, 400 MHZ.. it wouldn't work in the G4, right?
and what's "HDD"?

My girlfriends computer crashed so she lost all her music but luckily it is all still on her old iPod Video 30gb (not sure what generation it is, it is the first one that plays videos)..
Anyway, when i try to take the music off her iPod, it auto ejects. I have tried 3 different methods:
I tried using a tool called iPod Access: it auto ejected
I tried using a tool called expod: it auto ejected
I tried unhiding the music folders on it and just copying those over: it auto ejected.
The ipod itself works fine. No problems at all. I just cannot, for the life of me, find out what is happening..
Can anybody at all help me
*Edit: i forgot to mention that i am using a mac (specs in sig)
try Senuti (iTunes spelt backwards) can copy everything off your iPod onto your computer.

Can a IIe IIc IIGS read Windows Floppies?
No.
You may be interested in this device:
http://www.deviceside.com/fc5025.html
You will need that and a TEAC high density floppy drive (1.2MB), obtainable form eBay. And a typical drive power supply. But that way you'd be able to image all of your disks.
I thought I'd just pay to have whatever copied from the diskettes, but they want $5 per diskette just for the try - I have about 100 floppies - not cost effective.
I've got a little girl here that is interested in making enough money to buy a new iPod Touch... maybe we can work something out. ;-)

Hi there, can anyone help?
I bought Aperture 2 many months ago, but found it wouldn't work on my Powerbook G4. I then switched to Adobe Lightroom, and put the Aperture software in the cupboard.
I've just sold the software, but the new user gets the error message, 'serial number invalid'. It's possible I entered the serial number (can't remember), but the software itself was never used. How do I get the software to work for someone else?
Many thanks for any help.
Did you buy Aperture from Apple in a sealed box? If so the current owner needs to contact Apple.
Or if you bought it used from a third party then I suspect the S/N is in fact invalid.
I don't think Apple registers the S/N when you install and you can abuse the license and install it on ten computers. But just to see if this is the case (or not) you can remove the Internet connection while attempting to install. The result of this experiment will provide some good information.
Some times when Apple releases a new version of Aperture the new version black lists a few S/Ns that have been pirated or posted on-line. Typically these pirated S/Ns stop working when the next version of Aperture comes out. But if the S/N used matches the version of Aperture this can not be what's going on.

Hi guys! I own a MacBook Pro 2009 Alu Version (still Leopard) and a SanDisk cruzer micro 8 GB memory stick. Yesterday I had to give a presentation at uni, and it looks like I 'contracted' some sort of malware/virus from the uni's (Windows) computer, when I plugged in my USB stick. There's now a folder on there called ZLATO containing a file named 'suvo.exe (http://www.sophos.com/en-us//threat-center/threat-analyses/viruses-and-spyware/Mal~Palevo-A.aspx)'. I wasn't able to delete this the usual way and running Sophos confirmed my suspicions.
Now, Sophos is telling me to restart my computer to 'clean up the threat', but even though I've done that, it still won't let me remove the file.
I love my USB stick and have been using it for years, never had any trouble. Do you think I should reformat it or could that damage the stick (I've heard some flash drives aren't supposed to be reformatted, but I really have no knowledge of this)...
Anyway. Any helpful advice would be welcome, because I don't fancy spreading this thing any further.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
What are legitimate reasons for using a proxy?
If you visit web sites and the site admin or even someone else can see your IP then what is the downside to that if all they can tell is what city you are in?
Sure there are port scanners so how would a proxy effect that especially behind a firewall or hardware router?
Some services charge a small fee and offer their own secure proxy servers, is it worth the trouble and cost?
Can you use the proxy for transactions and is it wise to do so?
Thanks.

I just received my iPad 2 in the mail yesterday. I have an original iPad which I have given to my wife. I set up my new iPad from a backup from my original iPad and everything worked fine except 3G. I was unable to set up a 3G account with AT&T because there was no cell number assigned to my new iPad 2.
I thought it was operator error so I restored the iPad 2 and set it up as a new iPad. Same problem. When I look under general settings>about>cellular number it says unknown. Is it possible Apple never assigned a cellular number to my new iPad 2? Anyone else have this problem? Called AT&T and they were no help. I have a genius bar appointment this afternoon, but would like to be able to fix this myself. Please help!

So I bought an iBook G4 1.07GHZ, early 2004 model 12" off ebay. After a day or two, the screen started randomly turning off, the screen would be on, i could see the backlight, it would just go black and the computer would still be on but quit everything.
And more and more would when I would reboot, as soon as I hit the power button, The backlight would come on, no image, no chime, but the fans would churn like a jet engine and couldn't cut power unless battery removed.
I was about to return the item for a refund but I found a page about "this known iBook G4" logic board issue and this guy actually found the problem and how to fix it without buying a new logic board. It's not the logic board, it's just one chip on the logic board that was either designed with a flaw or such.
He describes the problem being after months/years of heating and cooling down, this one chips connectors would crack and loose contact with the logic board, causing these problems. It mainly happened when the system would heat up and the connectors would expand.
As a temp fix, he said take the bottom case off and Put a rubber shim on top of the chip and replace the case, causing slight pressure down on the chip to maintain contact. With over 600 comments and they all seemed to work for everyone, I tried it, and what do you know, it worked, so far, like a charm. It is a temp fix, who's to know how long it last, Maybe a week, maybe over a year. But the real fix is to solder the tiny connectors again to achieve a new connection. Very simple, it's more skill to disassembled the notebook itselfs as these G4 iBooks are known for the hair pulling repairs due to how they are built and assembled. I replaced the hardrive and it was over an hour job just getting in and popped it in. My old G4 Powerbook, I achieved a drive swap in 10 minutes. Hopes this helps anyone with this problem!
The link can be found here with intructions and photos to identify the problem. My iBook 1.07GHZ had the same logic board as his photos, my G4 1.33ghz is different, even though people with higher processors than 1.07 have had this problem, It mainly "effected" 800MHZ-1.07GHZ models.

So I am a stickler when it comes to each of my songs having the correct album cover, as that is how I change songs quickly when listening on my iPhone.
Recently, I added a new batch of about 15 songs, with album cover and all, to my iPhone 4. The album artwork appears in my iTunes, and in the iPod "app" on the iPhone. However, in the past, when I locked my phone as music was playing, the background of the lock screen would be the album cover.
This was so for all but the 15 new songs.
So as an attempted solution I removed all music from my iPhone, then readded it.
Now none on my album covers show on the lock screen! Even the ones that used to! :confused:
All assistance is appreciated to fix this saddening problem.
