    Need Network Help

    Can you see your PC from your mac, that is through your router ? Double check that your Mac is setup to receive an Ip adress from the router, I mean in DHCP mode.

    hello, just to share with you. In france, a retail store (La FNAC) is selling directly on shelves the WIFI and BT add-on module for the Mac Mini ! They are not supposed to do this, and papers on the box (white box with no marketing or packaging) say clearly that this must be sold with the...

    Mac Mini DVI display problem

    In fact I think Glicthes occur when there is CPU activity: moving the mouse over the dock create the zoom effect on the items of the dock, and this must be CPU consuming (be it the CPU or the video chip...). It also occurs when displaying a video for instance, without moving the mouse. ANyway I...

    20" VS 23" Cinema Display

    Aside the technical point, I've been tinking about this point, and as my personnal choice if you have a dual display video card, 2 * 20" for the same price as a 23" seems quite an obvious choice... most applications will take benefit of the surface of a dual 20" setup. (Music particularly in my...

    Issue with windows xp and Mac

    Riccbhard, can you be more precise with your problem ? - can you see the PC from your mac ? - can you ping it from the network utility panel ? For every sharing and networking, the first step should be to ping the target. If you can't ping, nothing will work. this helps a lot to see if you...

    Apple or Windows? Which is better?

    Zammy has a good point. I have been using PCs for ages. I have a mac mini for 10 days. I am happy because it's small, allows me to test the mac world, and because I found it easier to make some things: I created a DVD of my newborn child in 30 minutes. There are some PC applications allowing...

    What are Apple's top 5 current biggest mistakes?

    I guess by default everything downloaded goes to the desktop. And yes now i understood that most of things on the desktop are mounted volumes that you just have to eject, but this is not an obvious point for most users, and I have to confess that I also find it sometimes confusing when after...

    What are Apple's top 5 current biggest mistakes?

    Order depends on your definition of a mistake: bad financial strategy ? your satisfaction as a user ? short term market share strategy ? converting PC users to mac ? Anyway, some ideas after 10 days as a new Mac user (mac mini is a great weapon to gain market shares from PCs !!! ) 1 -...

    Hello, Just bought a Mac mini 10 days ago. When plugged into my Viewsonic 21', I have a problem: strange lines of red dot blinking when there is some activity, for instance when moving the mouse over the dock which makes the zoom effect. I saw on the Internet that I am not alone with this...
