Hey guys and gals, looking for a little expert insight...
I have a Mac Mini (mid-2010, non-server model running 10.6.7) hooked up to my TV for a pretty sweet home theater setup. At some point in the near future, I'm going to, one way or another, have a media server set up to stream to other TV's in the house (using either my wife's PC or my old Xbox with XBMC installed), watch on my iPhone and MBA away from home, etc. I've been eying a few NAS systems, but I noticed OS X Lion will include server functionality. Does this mean I could just hook a large external HD to my Mac Mini and use it as a server instead of buying a stand-alone server? And if so, should I? Are there advantages to going with a stand alone unit (like the Synology 211J, which I've had my eye on?)
Thanks in advance for the help!!

Your Powerbook should have come with a hardware test CD. I would pop that in and give it a whirl. Should tell you if there's anything seriously wrong with your computer.

What version of iMovie?
You might be able to take advantage of the Precision Editor. Click on an image and then click on the little gear and choose "Precision Editor". That choice is also available under the Window menu. In iMovie 09 I don't see a way to get wave forms so you'd have to use your ear to figure out image placement.

I'm trying to do this optibay hard drive thing and I've got everything I need so now I'm just looking for a time this weekend to do it.
One question I still have though is, will a time machine backup from this current hard drive, once 'restored' onto the newly installed hard drive, be exactly the same? Is it that easy?
Also, the optibay hard drive: Is it going to be displayed as additional 'device' in the finder? Or can you/would you RAID them or what? (not entirely sure I'm using correct terminology) Is it just strictly a storage drive? (Would be fine by me but I"m trying to get an idea of what options I have.)
Could someone please list the processes for doing the installation as far as what needs to happen so that I get an exact 'clone' of what I currently have, but on my new hard drives? Thanks

Trying to open ports to allow hosting Killing Floor games, but no matter what I do, it doesn't want to open them.
The following ports are used by the game:
7707 UDP/IP (Game Port)
7708 UDP/IP (Query Port)
7717 UDP/IP (GameSpy Query Port)
28852 TCP/IP and UDP (Allows your Server to Connect to the Master Server Browser)
8075 TCP/IP (Port set via ListenPort that your WebAdmin will run on)
20560 UDP/IP (Steam Port)
* Linksys E1000 router w/ latest firmware installed
* Computer is assigned a static IP address (wired connection)
* Port Forwarding and Port Range forwarding have been configured
* Have tried DMZ to my Mac, no difference
* Mac OS X Firewall is disabled
* Router firewall is disabled
* Firewall On with the app on the allow list isn't making a difference
This web-based tool and Network Utility keep showing the required ports as "closed" even though I have set up port forwarding to my Mac's IP and there are no firewalls in place.
http://www.canyouseeme.org/
Here's the thing: if I enable something like Web Sharing (port 80) in Sharing, it opens and closes the port just fine, and those two utilities show the port's status properly.
But no matter what I do, firewall on or off, I can't get ports 7707-7717 and the others to become "open" on my Mac.

I'm noticing jittery/jerky animations on my jb iphone 4 on 4.3.2 via pwnage. Anyone else experiencing this? The whole phone seems a lot less smooth this time around and I'm not sure why. Haven't installed any new jb apps that could be causing this. I did have a heck of a lot more trouble jailbreaking this time around (seems like I'm not the only one) but I can't imagine that's my problem.

That's one of the reasons why I decided to get a logitech keyboard and mouse for my iMac instead of using the Apple ones. They have extra buttons that control itunes that don't require you to have itunes as the top program.

iPhoneExplorer is kinda buggy for me on a Mac. It was really buggy on Win7 machine but I hear it works pretty well on WinXP
iFunBox works real well on Windows and that's what I use on Win7.
Nope. I have xp and I am playing with explorer and iPhone browser. Both crash or don't do what I want. I'll try the other programs.
Update: Just used ifunbox and it was great

Don't think too much into it. You won't be disappointed when you're wrong...
No iPod cameras.
No Air updates.
No MacBook/Pro until Montevina
I'd like Cinema Displays with iSight and HDCP, but...

Go into the Apps area and check the settings. You're trying to sync music now, so it's trying to sync the apps too, and you haven't transferred them to iTunes, so it's trying to delete them from the iPad as well. I don't have my iPad handy to check settings, but maybe you don't have manually sync selected?

I just bought a Canon Vixia HF R10. It works pretty good with iMovie. You should be able to find it for under $300.

Thanks, but no. Sorry.

You come from a Windows world so this probably isn't it, but if you double click on the files, do they open immediately with the right application or do they give you a list of apps to choose from. Is there any chance that you've deleted the suffix (.doc) and OSX has forgotten what to do with it?
Also, by generic icon, do you mean the white-file-with-nothing-on-it icon for all the icon-less files?

Word to that! i love my dualie, editing and encoding is a dream! I love working on it, I feel that I can be more creative, because there is no speed performance issues on this baby. I can't even use my G4 800 that I use at work, it is soo slow and is a pain to use in comparison. I actually lug my G5 to work becuase I can't stand not using it.
To everyone out there that want to try a dual G5 and can't afford one, my advice is don't try it untill you can buy it, because you will want one real bad.
P.S. This is my first mac that I have ever baught for personal use, I am one happy switcher.

yeah, Three-Speech later updated and said 2K told them it was only for 360 and PC. One would imagine it would eventually come to PS3, especially if it sells well, but meh! I'll snag it for my 360 :D
Lair better come out in July, this spring is a dry wasteland for good games :( aside from paper mario anyway.
That might be the case for you but I have way too many games to play :)
Warcraft III (yeah I still play it), Starcraft (replaying the main campaign), Company of Heroes, Command & Conquer Generals, Command & Conquer 3, Rainbow Six Vegas and God of War II.
