10.6 on Mac Mini core solo?

I want to confirm that the $29 version of OS X 10.6 that Apple sells will install properly on an Intel Mac Mini core solo.  The specs say it should, but I get a "Mac OS X can't be installed on this computer" message when I try to install that OS with the disk from another computer.

It will it the mac meets these specs.  Note 1 gig of memory required.

Edit:  Yes, the $29 retail version will work

  • 10.6.8 Wifi Mac Mini Core Solo Problems

    Hi All,
    I have had my beloved Mac Mini core solo (1.5ghz) since 2007 and have had regular upgrades to keep it alive (upgraded hard drive, ram etc.).
    A couple of days ago I upgraded the airport card - it previously was only 802.11 a/b/g, but I now have the atheros 9280 802.11 a/b/g/n successfully installed into the machine.
    The main reason for doing this is that my previous airport card just never seemed to work at all; I have an iphone and ipad and they both successfully connect to my Orange livebox router with no problems whatsoever, yet my Mac Mini did not connect at all having tried everything I can. Therefore my final solution was to arrange an update of the airport card to the new atheros one suggested by my local Apple dealer.
    I brought the Mac home, and tried to attahc to my wifi router to immediate success. It had full signal strength and was working flawlessly. I then turned the machine off, went out for a while and then came home to find it was not working again and kept searching for the wifi router and asking for constant passwords. After a long time, it seemed to work again but after I turned the machine off it lost the settings (depsite me asking network settings to save via the locked button) and I am constantly repeating this process.
    I am therefore wondering if anyone can help. The atheros 9280 airport card information is as follows (from the system profiler):
    Software Versions:
    Menu Extra: 6.2.2 (622.2)
    configd plugin: 6.2.5 (625.6)
    System profiler: 6.0.1 (601.1)
    Network preference: 6.2.2 (622.2)
    Aiport Utility: 5.5.3 (553.20)
    IO80211 Family: 4.0 (400.40)
    Card Type: Airport Extreme (0x168C, 0x8F)
    Firmware version: Atheros 9280: 2.1.14.6
    Locale: FCC
    Country Code: DE
    Supported PHY Modes: 802.11 a/b/g/n
    Supported Channels: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,36,40,44,48,52,56,60,64,100,104,108,112,116,120,1 24,128,132,136,140
    Wake on Wireless: Supported
    Status: Network Service Inactive
    Just to also add that its Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Intel Mac Mini core 1.5ghz solo, and my Orange Wifi router is quite old (around 2006) so supports a/b/g - I was thinking that this may be the fault but why would all my other apple systems have no problems with this connection?
    Any help would be really appreciated as I'm going a little nuts here!

    Really? I thought Sno was supposed to be more efficient?
    I'd say that SL is more efficient on a machine it was made to run on. Apple didn't exclude the single core Intel processor, probably because they didn't have to change their code like they would have for a PPC processor but part of the efficiency is it's ability to split services to the separate cores in the CPU. You only have one, so that part of the improvement is of no use. All of the processes the OS handles and splits to multiple CPU cores are worthless and your programs will just have to wait until the CPU has time for you.
    Meanwhile, the programs you are running are more powerful and provide higher quality and really need the extra core. The speed of the ram, the buss, and the hard drive are not as fast as your MacBook either. All of this data has to be moved around quite a bit from the drive to ram and then back to the drive.
    Christmas is coming
    WinXP will run on a 600Mhz PII processor with 128MB's of PC100 ram, but you wouldn't want to. It's not a lot of fun to work with or work on.
    Unless there is some whiz bang program or technology that you need from SL, I'd take the machine back to Leopard or even Tiger, which it probably ran pretty well.

  • Apple Wireless Keyboard on Mac Mini Core Solo CANNOT be found !

    Hi,
    My Apple Wireless Keyboard (non-aluminum)was working perfectly with my Mac Mini core Solo. I had to change the battery and after that I cannot connect to my Mac Mini.
    I tried:
    1. Update the Bluetooth software (from the downloads from Apple.com).
    2. Remove all the keyboard definitions in the System Preferences, Bluetooth.
    3. When I try to connect by selecting Keyboard in the Bluetooth Assistant, I won't get any device.
    4. When I try to connect to any device in the Bluetooth Assistent, I'll see the only Apple Wireless Keyboard I have, but then pairing failes.
    5. Only by using a USB keyboard I could enter my MacMini.
    Questions:
    a. How all of a sudden this can't work ?
    b. How to I "reset" the keyboard ?
    c. What can I do ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Rokesh

    i am having this exact same problem. Keyboard isnt seen if I select "Keyboard" in the bluetooth setup assistant, but if I select "Any Device" then after a moment "Apple Wireless Keyboard" shows up in the device list but it will refuse to pair, saying it doesnt have any configurable services.
    Any tips or help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Mac Mini Core Solo with Logic Express 7.2.1 ?

    Hi
    I am just curious to know how well will perform Logic Express 7.2.1 with the new Mac Mini Core Solo.
    Thanks

    Hi
    Guys thanks for the response. I own a trusty G5 which is doing an AMAZING job at the main studio running Logic Pro 7.2.1. Its just I need a small Mac such as the most basic Mac Mini Solo fully expanded memory to be used as a "Musical Notepad" and wanted to know if the recent advances with Apple Intel Mac Minis with faster bus speeds has actually given this model a boost over the previous Mac Mini G4. Surely there must be performance increases.
    Apple Keep it Up!
    Thanks!!

  • Intel Mac Mini Core Solo - Kernel Panic on Boot

    I was wondering if anyone who has purchased the Intel Mac Mini is having issues with Kernel Panics during the booting sequence?
    I got a Core Solo from the local Apple store (couldn't wait to play, I'm waiting on the Core Duo I ordered online to come still ). The first thing I did was fire it up check it out for a few minutes, then I put the install disc in and reinstalled a clean OS, with less options because I'm planning on hooking it up to my TV so I don't need space hogs like Garageband etc on my TV computer. I got the updates that popped up, then shutdown the computer. I took it out to the living room and hooked it up to the tv and I got a black message about needing to restart (a kernel panic) right when the blue progress loading bar comes up on boot. I spent a while with it trying to figure out what was wrong, ran the Apple Hardware Test, booted it fine in Safe Boot. Finally I got tired of it and reinstalled the OS again.
    It was fine for a day, working fine out on the tv. I brought it back in my room to play with a few things like Darwine, etc. Shut it down, came back an hour or so later booted it up and got the kernel panic on boot. Safe boot still worked fine. I spent some time trying to look for panic logs but didn't see any. I ran the disk utility and did a Full erase and it worked fine. I reinstalled the OS again. Ran MemTestOSX and it worked fine. I left it running the Apple Hardware Test for about 6 hours or more, and it performed perfectly.
    This morning it still seemed ok, except sometimes on a cold boot when the blue progress bar screen should come on... my monitor just shows black and the light on the monitor goes inactive. So, I press the button on the back to sleep it, then bring it out of sleep with the keyboard and the OS is sitting there booted.
    It seems like a weird combination of software and hardware problems, but maybe it's all hardware problems. I can't get past Safe Boot working when the OS stops loading. Right now the computer is working fine.
    I'm waiting for my Core Duo to come in the mail and verify that it works flawlessly, then I'll take the Solo to the store and ask them to look at it.
    Anyone have any similar experiences so far?

    It seems like the mini is doing alright so far. I think maybe the full erase solved whatever issue it was having. I also got my Core Duo Mini yesterday in the mail and it's performing like a champ. Definitely a nice machine.
    I'll close my question for now, since the Core Solo Mini seems alright. But, as a warning don't get on Front Row's bad side. I tried force quitting it because it was taking too long to load the videos folder and then tried shutting down from a terminal and ended up having to turn the machine off.

  • Mac mini core solo running very slowly

    Hi folks, long time reader, first time poster (sorry, couldn't resist):
    I just got a nice shiny new core solo mac mini 1.5 with stock ram and it feels like it runs slower than my 450 mhz dual processor powermac. Activity monitor shows that if I try to run microsoft word and entourage at the same time I run out of free ram - is this normal? I'm thinking of upgrading the ram, but don't want to void the warranty if it turns out to be a hardware problem. Any ways that I could check it out?
    Thanks
    Mike

    Yes.
    Running Microsoft PPC binaries under Rosetta will take more memory. And the stock 512 meg is sufficient, but as with any modern Operating System, more memory means better performance.
    I went to Best Buy recently and picked up these 2 sticks of RAM giving me 2 gigs of RAM in my Mac Mini Intel Core Duo:
    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7644196&type=product&id=1134699426 321
    I replaced the preinstalled RAM in about 10 minutes. Undo the case (worst part actually), remove 4 screws, disconnect one onboard cable, replace RAM, reverse process.
    It made a huge difference in just about everything, as was expected. It also seems to have cured my video bleeding problems too.

  • Mac mini core solo upgrade

    hi
    I have been reading about a Mac mini CPU upgrade from a 1.5Ghz core solo to a 1.83ghz Core 2 duo. I was wondering if I managed to get a CPU for it, would the genius bar at apple store be able to put it in for me as I don't want to take all the motherboard out in such a tiny such a tiny computer and I would also get 2GB ram for the mini as well. I need a core 2 duo due to it been 64bit for Mac OS X Leopard
    hope to hear from someone soon
    Thanks
    Message was edited by: Mac User & Proud

    I second Gordon's estimation of the genius bar's willingness to do such work. You might find an Apple certified technician at an Apple certified repair concern that may do such work, but that would probably not qualify it for warranty consideration. If you don't want to do it yourself or have someone not at the genius bar do it, you're probably better off selling it and getting a new Core 2 Duo Mini.

  • Mac Mini - Core Solo - Won't See Any Wireless network

    I have a Mac Mini, first gen Intel, Core Solo, that won't see any wireless networks. However, it will see my extreme basestation, and my two airport express devices over bonjour, which makes me think that the wireless device is working.
    I've reset the PMU, with no luck.
    Any suggestions?

    Does an Airport card show in the system profiler?
    Is Airport switched on in your mini - the Airport icon in the menu bar should show at least grey bars rather than an empty white 'fan' shape?
    With Airport on, when you click on the Airport icon, does it show any network?
    If you click on 'Join Other Network' and type the name of the wifi network you run, what error message does the system give?
    How far away from the wifi base station is the mini? What kind of structures and environment is it in?
    If you move the mini to be in close proximity to the wifi base station, does it show any signal?
    When you download a copy of AP Grapher (http://www.chimoosoft.com/apgrapher.html) and run it, what does it show for signals, noise etc?
    How is the mini seeing any wifi devices via Bonjour - do you have it wired into your network? If so, the fact that the devices appear via bonjour doesn't mean they are transmitting wifi, nor that they are in range.
    By the way, the Core Solo mini doesn't have a PMU to reset. If you used the PMU reset procedure it won't have helped, and may actually have caused problems. The correct procedure for an Intel-based mini is an SMC reset, as follows:
    -From the Apple menu, choose Shut Down (or if the computer is not responding, hold the power button until it turns off).
    -Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord and any display cables.
    -Wait at least 15 seconds.
    -Plug the power cord back in, *making sure the power button is not being pressed* at the time.
    -Then reconnect your keyboard and mouse to the computer.
    -Press the power button on the back to start up your computer.

  • Latest version that will work with Mac mini Core SOLO under Snow Leopard?

    Latest Flash Player 11 versions will work with Snow Leopard, but they say they require a Core Duo or newer processor.  What is the last stable version of FP that will work on my mom's Mac mini 1.5Ghz Intel Core Solo (running OS X 10.6.8)?
    Have searched archives and web for this and still draw a blank.  Thanks!

    Fixed it!
    I mounted it in target mode again and manually applied the 10.5.4 combo updater ad it now boots again.

  • Mac mini Core Solo is a great deal slower then 1.5ghz mac mini G4??

    I have two mac minis, one has a 1.5 Ghz G4 and the other has a 1.5 Ghz Core Solo. Both have 512mb of RAM and OS X 10.4.7. I have the same software installed between them. They both have the latest updates for Office 2004 installed, both have the latest system updates, latest Firefox updates, both have latest Adobe Reader updates, and both have Quark 6.5 installed.
    The Core Solo mac mini is WAY slower then the G4, Entourage in particular is almost slow to the point it is unworkable. Is this due to the Rosetta emulation? What can I do to improve this, will increasing the ram to 1 GB clear these speed issues or am I going to have to return this mini and get one with a Core Duo?
    The current sluggishness on the Core Solo mini is unbearable, literally my Powerbook G4 667mhz with 768mb of ram is loads faster then this mini is. I'm thinking more RAM will do the trick, but wanted to bounce this off of some other experts here first. Thanks.

    Entourage in particular is almost slow to the point it is unworkable. Is this due to the Rosetta emulation?
    Yes, almost certainly. Microsoft Office is not yet Intel-native, so it's gonig to run more slowly than a native edition would. The same will apply to any PowerPC-only software.
    What can I do to improve this, will increasing the ram to 1 GB clear these speed issues
    I can't say for certain, but other users have reported that increasing the RAM to 1GB (or beyond) has made significant improvements in performance.

  • Mac Mini Core Solo with Bootcamp

    I am getting my dad an Intel Mac Mini to replace his PC desktop. He is more familiar with Windows and would like to run XP on the Mac from time to time for things like Office, Firefox, AIM, etc. Is the stock 1.5 GHz Mini sufficient? The Core Duo is a little out of my price range.
    Amazon is selling the 1.5 GHz Mini for $599 plus a $25 rebate (no tax, no shipping charges). Anyone here ever bought a Mac from Amazon? How was your experience with them?

    I ordered my Mac Mini from Amazon and had no problems. It was $799 with a $25 rebate, plus no tax. I opted against the free shipping (it takes an extra 3-5 days) and paid for the two-day option. It cost around $17; I figured the no tax and rebate more than paid for that. My Mini made it to my doorstep in two days, as advertised. If you don't mind ordering the stock model, Amazon is a great option. Just do the upgrades later.

  • Mac Mini (Core Solo 1.5GHz) won't boot.  Any ideas?

    My Mac Mini is hanging when I try to boot up (just sits at the grey apple screen and the progress wheel just cycles indefinitely). I've tried booting into single user mode and running fsck and the disk is fine. If I try booting in verbose mode it seems to hang with an error pertaining to the AirPort card.
    I've mounted it in target mode and backed up /Library and /Users in case a nuke&pave is required and have grabbed a copy of system.log to get the error messages. Here's the entire boot sequence up to the point where it hangs:

    Anyone got any ideas how I can try to fix the problem? I don't actually use the AirPort card as it's wired into my router so if there's any way I can disable it that might be useful.
    In the case of a nuke&pave is there anything else I should back up besides /Library and /Users?

    Fixed it!
    I mounted it in target mode again and manually applied the 10.5.4 combo updater ad it now boots again.

  • Best webcam for Mac mini core solo?

    What is the best webcam to use for my Mac Mini with an older display - is MacAlly icecam 2 sufficient? and i'm still on 10.4.11. Many thanks for your kind responses.

    I've been looking into webcams for my mini and have noticed that some webcams whilst the video works, the sound doesn't. I have an old webcam which my wife uses on our windows box, and I got it working on my mac using the Macam drivers http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/ The only problem was that the microphone wasn't supported, a recurring trend!! From my investigations the Logitech Quick Cam Vision Pro for Mac seems to be the best available, but it is a bit expensive £89.99 here in the UK.

  • Can Mac mini Core Solo read DVD+R DL discs?

    Hi,
    I couldn't find the exact specs for this model's DVD-ROM drive. I've read normal DVDs (4.3GB) before on this guy and it's okay.
    Then I put some commercial video show DVD disc that I believe is DL (using Nero on a PC, I copied the DVD to hard drive and its size was about 7GB or so, so I figured it's a Dual Layer disc), and the mini seemed to mount it just fine.
    Now I'm ready to burn my own DVD+R DL disc (up to 8.5GB I guess) from a PC and hopefully my DVD-ROM drive on this mini can read it...
    Does anyone know for sure if this DVD ROM supports DL reading?? Apple's Spec just says "reads DVD," not much more.

    Hey there Boece,
    Yeah, I know the best way is to just, "try it."
    But I guess I was lazy and figured that someone would
    have already known the answer already and would
    simply reply and give a definate answer.. I dont see
    why Apple's Spec doesnt show this fact it can read DL
    discs, it just says generically it can read
    DVD-ROMs... Oh well. heh..
    That's because commercial DVDs are commonly dual layer and mostly always have been. It's really only format and +/- compatibility that's a potential issue.
    As for the login problem, glad to know it's just not
    me.. pheew... sheez, it's such a pain in the butt, to
    after login, you have to manevuer thru some more
    pages to go back to the page where you can actually
    post.. sheez.. Apple, fix this please!!
    The L4/5 members have been bashing the ears of the hosts about this for ages now, and they're as fed up with it happening as we all are. It's been pointed out that not only is it inconvenient, but also may give users logging in the erroneous notion that their login has actually failed, and thus they can't (and don't) post. The issue was raised with the support engineers on Jun 20.
    L4 member eww posted a fix that works for some in the Lounge (hence I can't link to it here), but here is what was said:
    Without logging in, go to the Discussions main page. Drag the "Login" link in the right sidebar into a text editor window, where the URL text will appear. Delete the following text from the end of the URL:
    %3FsuccessURL%3D%2Findex.jspa
    Paste the remainder of the URL into your web browser and bookmark it. Hit Enter to log into Discussions with no error message.
    The reason I'm not posting the whole URL is that I believe it contains AppleID info that's particular to each user.
    This has been working flawlessly for me ever since the problem arose. It happened that I was already using the truncated URL as my login bookmark — I have no recollection of how or when I arrived at it, but it has certainly spared me the annoyance so many others have expressed here.
