For Sale Mac Mini G4

My phone has crashed a few times since upgrading to iOS 5. I've gone to look at it and the screen has been blank, and doing a hard reset didn't help. Each time it had sorted itself by plugging into my MacBook. It did it today an hour after charging when I stopped to take a picture, thing is I was on my way to Liverpool Street as I'm in Norwich for a few days. I tried to reset it a few times on the train, and it flashed up a screen saying I need to plug it into iTunes - but my laptop is in London. Now I'm stuck down here without a phone, can't meet anyone I was planning to etc. Anyone know of a fix?

Sorry, going to cross-post this in the iOS thread as well.

It was 10 years ago today

I was second in the queue at 11am at the Mac show at Olympia on that day and bought the third iPod sold in the UK...

A question:

Can you get a student discount from the refurbished shop?

I am looking at this:

Any further advice welcome.

Thanks

No, refurbs don't qualify for further discounts

ah, cool. thanks

Can't I be both :) I had a monumental Cd (15000+)collection that I copied (lossless). Along with the fact that I buy 3/4 albums a week means I require a lot of memory. At the moment I only have my most listened to stuff on my mac and the rest is on a few external HD that I'll plug in if I want to hear something. Getting this all saved onto one large HD with easy access means that I can start listening to all my music again rather than just a small selection.

Why not get one massive external? thats what id do, well what i do do, like 2 3TB for example.

I've just installed a new HD and a clean install of Lion, only to find apple have decided to flip the scroll direction on the track pad, how the bloody hell do I change it back!?

I'm going to (sc)roll with it for a day and see if it really is the future.

The iTunes scrolling bug alone is enough to make me want to try that.

That looks good. Whats the iTunes scrolling bug?

is it when you search for something and then can't scroll from the results place? It drives me mad

Enqueue plays FLAC.

That's all it took for me to jump. Was using Fidelia before, but it was terrible with large collections.

Enqueue loves large collections.

Jeez that's huge. I'm going to take all my music from my mac before long and put it on my windows machine as I've got a 1tb media on there already. Hopefully taking all that from the Mac will speed it up as well.

My iPod nano was from the 'bad battery' period. Hadn't used it for ages but dug it out yesterday. Apple are sending me a box to send the iPod back to them, then they will replace it, I guess with a new nano.
Pretty happy with that!

You should see if you can get it to explode, go for the out of court settlement instead..?

...I guess with a new nano...

It's much cheaper for Apple to have the supplier at fault create a boat load of new batteries for the old nanos and replace them. I'm pretty sure you wont get a new nano.

It's really very good. And the scrolling works.

Owners of the first-generation iPod nano will be able to get them replaced for free with a current model once they have provided their model to Apple, either through a store or via a courier.

So anyway, according to that Guardian article it looks like I'll be getting a new nano.

Fark. Time to dig out my old Nano then!!

I hoped I could take mine into the apple shop and they'd just swap it for a new one. We'll see this arvo...

The discussion thread on macrumours gave the impression that it would be like for like replacement (ie you'd get exactly the same nano just a working one).

let me know if this works. mine is within the right time period but i don't think i'll bother unless they give you a new one.
