Of course not, it's TW. Nothing works with TW!
Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

Woo hoo, DH told me the Tivo was working again this morning! (After being left unplugged all night.)
Which makes me think the problem might be the power supply, which would be much cheaper to replace than the hard drive.

Ann, that's a ferret.
When our Tivo was slowly dying, it would freeze two or three times a day. Unplugging and plugging back in helped, but not for very long.

Bonny, that adapter has worked with every monitor I've ever tried. I think you're safe to buy it without a trip to the store.
The extra pins in the middle are for dual link DVI, which you need for 30" monitors. I suspect the adapter accepts those pins in case you're using a dual link DVI cable for a single link DVI monitor.
Rob, you are totally right. I schlepped all the way over there to have the genius tell me that the adapter would work fine.
ARGH. My cry is a cry of lamentation.
The upside, I suppose, is that the tech ran a diagnostic, so I know the system works. It also turns out that the seller loaded Mountain Lion and Word 2011. That was nice. Also, this mini uses a remote. That was a nice surprise.

Does anyone have a favorite online back up option for a Mac?
I've always been hesitant to expose my stuff, but to get my files from this 10.4 machine to the new Mountain Lion box, I'd need a LOT of discs. Time Machine isn't available to me, and I do not have an external hard drive.
Any advice?

any reason why you don't want to get an external drive? they aren't very expensive and they can be necessary.

If they both have ethernet ports you can hook an ethernet cable between them and use file sharing to copy files across. Check out [link] .

le n, it's about having spent all I can...wanting to get it done now, etc.
Not to mention, I will need to add more memory to the mini and the geniuses tell me that for the first time in my computing life, I can't make that upgrade myself.
It's pretty frustrating, no lie.
It makes sense that I get one eventually, but right now it's just not the highest priority.

ROB! *\ o /*
You are fast becoming my favorite tech support!!
I DO have an ethernet cable but I haven't used it for about 9 years.
I'm off to study the tutorial. Cheers!
