I've heard this is no longer an issue on newer minis but on older ones you could trick it using the mini to VGA adapter and then a VGA to NTSC converter, which are usually pretty cheap. I used this one which is $24: http://sewelldirect.com/pc-to-tv-adapter.asp CB On 6/24/14, 6:56 PM, Alex Hal

Re: Launch Bar Audio Question

I hope you grow to find Launch Bar more useful. I bought it sometime last year and have enjoyed it ever since. My apologies I can't help with the audio issue, I have my sound through my headset only. Here are 3 quick ways I use launch bar the most. ;) Only 3, I use it for a whole lot more.

Apple Care about up

Hi all, it is hard to believe, but I have had my Macbook Air long enough, that my Apple Care is nearly over. Are there any tips or suggestions you guys can think of before it ends? Any tests I should put my Mac through to make sure it is healthy? Only curious. I cannot believe it has been 3 y

You can also run Apple Hardware Tests. The interface is not accessible, but it is a special boot mode that can diagnose some hardware problems. Of course, if you can have a local Apple Store give it a thorough once-over while doing so is still free, that's the best thing I can think of. I know i

Oh, wait a sec... You mean I can bring my Macbook Air into a store just for a check up? During my Apple Care period? I didn't know this. I'll definitely make an appointment for that. We have 2 Apple stores within 15-20 miles, no problem. A silly question, but what do I say to the Store? I'

Re: Apple Care about up

I believe so. My sister's Air had a chip on the side (never, ever use Speck cases!) and she was able to set up an appointment to have it looked at. Nothing says you can't just ask them to run a full set of diagnostics. They shouldn't say no, but even if they do, that's the worst that can happen.

Still an issue on the latest Mini, unfortunately. When I used to have a KVM I was in a much better place, but now I need the Thunderbolt port long-term, so I just reluctantly put up with it. It only affects the window server; other processes ought to be fine, including server services that con

Hi, * Disk cleanup software will not do what a clean install will do. Yes, it will get rid of much of the clutter, but it will not be as clear as a clean install does. the Clean Install wipes everything off the drive, re-installs the OS back to base level then you need to re-install all apps

Hi, Most of your questions were answered by Chris, but, is it a good idea to do it prior to the release of the new OS in the Fall? Unnecessary in my opinion. If you're not having any problems, with your current installation, then simply do the install/upgrade over your existing one. In 99/10

Furthering this discussion, I will add that pressing the “enter” key is not always necessary. For example, when typing the letters “S, H, U,” as LaunchBar begins to “learn” the keystrokes, holding the letter “u,” will automatically initiate the “shut-down” command. Similarly, this works for
