'The Message'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
If you need to print it, export it as a PDF first. If they need to edit it in Pages at the other end, you'll have to zip it up. (ctrl-click the file in the finder, choose "Create Archive")
No need for editing on the other end. It's just a work invoice that I want to email out so I can get paid.
I'm just using the TV as a monitor for the Mini. What advantage does AppleTV have over that?
If you don't already have a mini, it's cheaper?
Gris, you'd totally get a kiss, too.

That's the only reason I'm looking at it. The mini I would put there instead would be over a grand. It probably does some fancier stuff out of the box with respect to getting media off of other devices, but I'm sure it's nothing someone hasn't written for the Mini itself in their spare time.
Got it. For some reason I thought ita already had a mini.
So I have no excuse to buy an AppleTV? Good for my bank account, I suppose, but also a little sad.
OTOH, my ancient iMac is wigging out on me so there may be shakeups in the home network anyhow.
I think I just might have bought an Apple TV. Which really won't stop me from buying a Mini, but hopefully has put it off some.
If you plan on renting HD movies from Apple, you can only view them on an AppleTV, and not on a Mini.
Some enterprising hackers have been known to make Apple TVs into dual (and more) boot Macs. [link]
Thanks, Tom, fuel for the next debate with myself.
I have apparently forgotten my account name on my iMac after years of logging in automatically. At least I'm not calling tech support and demanding someone fix it.
So iTunes has suddenly decide not to recognize my iPod. When I plug in the iPod, it gets the "do not disconnect" sign on it, and the computer bleeps, but there's no iPod on the iTunes interface and it's not actually updating.
And yes, it's iTunes, because it doesn't recognize either of my iPods, with different USB cords.
Anyone got any ideas? I'd rather not update iTunes because the last time I did that, I lost all my playlists...
