As an owner of one of the first gen Mac Minis (PPC), I can tell you that they don't have nearly enough horsepower – you'll want the newest Intel one you can find, and get as much RAM in it as it'll hold (1Gb-2Gb). This machine will be able to display HD content, and is much more useful than an...

Is the RAM from high quality RAM vendors? I've heard that the Mac Pros use RAM with pretty tight timing, and can misbehave if high performance RAM isn't used, whereas normal quality RAM would work fine in Apples' other Machines.

To continue using DVI: You need a mini DVI to DVI adapter (for image as DVI is, of course image only), and ideally an Optical audio out (TOS-LINK) cable for digital audio, though a standard 3.5mm audio to stereo RCA cable will work. That's all, although you might find the mini DVI to DVI adapter...

First solution: Buy a Dual Layer DVD to write the files to. This will fit your files as they currently exist. And many modern Macs have a DVD writer capable of writing to these. Second solution: re-encode your MP4's to fit on a single layer disk. Since you don't have the source Video TS...

Firstly, I'd try running a permissions repair, just to ensure that the permissions for executing Rosetta haven't got messed up. If that fails, you could consider doing an archive and install (ideally after doing a full backup), which will preserve all your extra applications, accounts etc. Then...

This is a hardware password that can be enabled, requiring that it be entered before changing the boot (start up) device. If you search this forum you will find instructions on how to disable this. Then you may have better luck with your install.

And you won't have it happen. You also will only be able to use it on a Mac.

This newer form of content playback control (HDCP) is applied ONLY to SOME newer movies purchased via the iTunes store. It does NOT apply system-wide or to all content. Content encoded with Apple's FairPlay DRM will still display via external outputs just fine (or as fine as before). What has...

Unfortunately you are not able to do this directly with hardware. Apple uses a custom piece of hardware on a modified iPhone for their tech demos. The ony way for us mere mortals to do it is is the iPhone/ iPod touch Software Developer Kit Simulator running on OSX.

These old machines could run OSX just fine, BUT you had to made sure you had all the available firmware updates applied. And here's the issue: some of these had to be applied in OS9.x before you could successfully install and boot OSX on that hardware – what hard drive you have in there is...

There is at least an SNES and at least one or two other emulated platforms. However they are only available through the Jailbreak Community, as Apple will not allow apps on the App Store that allow other applications to run within them (ie: emulation, Java etc).

The apps from the Apple App store are tied to the iTunes account (not primarily the machine) they were purchased by. Therefore the easiest option would be to have HIM download the Dynolicious app and let you test it. You will not be able to use an app tied to your account on his iPod touch, even...

This site seems to have most of them. Get them while they are still up. http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/

An iPod will appear this way if it is tethered (set to sync music) to a different Mac than the one it is connected to. To change this, check the "Manually manage music and videos" checkbox.

When transitioning from PowerPC to Intel machines, it is important NOT to clone your OS from one to the other, as the old OS will NOT run. While you will need to reinstall your apps, the best solution is to have a clean Leopard install on your new Intel machine, add your apps, then use Migration...

... in the receipt folder. If an application uses Installer to install, it writes a receipt there which Disc Utility can read.

Microsoft Paint does not support layered file formats. That black area has replaced any image that was 'underneath' it, when it was applied.

Not sure why the DVD writer isn't burning, but you should be able to stick pretty much any compatible DVD-RW internal drive into it (as you may know, it's a little fiddly, but not too bad to install – I've owned this model). If you can get your hands on RAM that old, you'll be able to stick...

Unfortunately Apple differentiates their Macbook line currently by only having the upper tier model(s) with DVD burners (referred to as 'Superdrives, which burn CDs and DVDs). Lower spec Macbooks (such as my Gfs) have 'Combo drives' with Read and Write CDs, but ONLY read DVDs, not write them...
