Can I use wifi connected Mac Mini as an ethernet hub?

Hi!
I have my Mac Mini next to the TV. It gets the wireless internet connection from my apartment complex.
I also have a Blue-Ray player that is online capable, but not wireless. Can I get the Blue-Ray player online by running an Ethernet cable to the Mac Mini?

Yes, go into System Preferences and open the Sharing panel where you will see a check box for Internet Sharing and it's options.

  • What type of monitors can I use with the Mac Mini?

    Hello,
    I was thinking on purchasing a Mac Mini. I was not sure if the monitor I have at work with function with the Mac Mini. It is a: 20" ViewSonic Professional Series P815...
    Does anyone know if this monitor will work with any Mac Mini? Is there an adapter for it?
    Thanks.

    It would be fine for them all - all minis have come with DVI video connectors and adapters to convert that to VGA, so aside from the possibility that the Viewsonic might suffer the greyish or dull screen problem that affected a small(ish) proportion of displays with the first generation mini, it should connect up using the adapter just fine, and be correctly recognized by the system.

  • Can I use my old MAC MINI as a hard drive, or do I need to transfer all the data to a new Mini?

    I would like to get the new MAC MINI, but I was wondering whether I could somehow just keep my old mac mini as a storage drive and continue to use its DVD drive since the new mini doesn't have one.  Has anyone out there done this?  If not, what is the best way to transfer data from one mini to another?

  • Can I use my US Mac Mini in countries with 240v?

    Hey guys,
    I just bought my Mac Mini, the latest model, from the US. However, I have to go to India for 2 months, and I want to take my Mac Mini.
    Will it work if I plug it in without a voltage converter? I saw the specs, and it said it can take up to 240v, but I just wanted to make sure it works.
    Thanks in Advance!!

    All the Mac mini models have had universal auto-sensing power supplies so yes it will work in India. You will not need a transformer, just a plug adaptor or alternative power cable.

  • Can I use WiFi and other features without activating phone

    I want to find out if I can still use WiFi, connect to the computer, etc without activating actual phone service with Verizon.  Basically I plan on getting this phone free with a new contract, but I will continue to use my old phone as the actual active phone.  (There are no new phones that don't require $30 data plan that are actually better than the phone I have now.)

    Yes, the Kin TwoM will work on wifi without activating the service.  Before activating mine, I was able to use web browsing and email for about a week on wifi.  I didn't try out the Zune software until later, though I don't think that would be affected either.  
    However, I did start getting automated txt msgs from verizon warning that I would be in violation of the 2 year discount/aggrement (and be charged full price of the phone) unless I activated the Kin on my number.  I went ahead and activated the Kin at that time.  
    At present, I could not find anything to that wording in the fine print agreement, and I don't think there would be any problem porting my number back to my old phone, but beware that you may have to activate the Kin once then transfer your number back to your old phone.

  • How can I control my my mac mini with my macbook air (no wifi)?

    How can I control my my mac mini with my macbook air (no wifi)? Also...what is the best method (less lag) for screen sharing? 
    I own a mac mini Quad Server 2.0 i7 and I use it for audio production.  It's great but I need to travel with it. I was hoping some form of screen sharing could be useful using the macbook air to control the mac mini.  Therefore, I'd be using the stronger processor of the mac mini but would still be using the keyboard and trackpad from the air. 
    My two problems: 
    1.  I can't depend on wifi to make this happen. Wifi is not always available when travleing.  What would be the best way to configure a LAN connection?
    2.  The less lag the better for screen sharing.  Which apps are fastest?
    Thanks in advance.

    Both of your devices have WiFi built in. Here is Apple Support's solution:

    Iv bought a touchpad app for my iPhone 5 to use on my Mac mini, all the functions work apart from the zoom one. How can I fix this please

    Iv bought a touchpad app for my iPhone 5 to use on my Mac mini,''
    Considering the app for the iPhone is for iOS, you may have problems using it on the Mac (Mac OS X)
    Two different operating sysems.
    From iTunes for the touchpad app:
    Requirements: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iOS 5.1 or later. This app is optimized for iPhone 5.

  • Can I connect Mac mini to Windows laptop?

    I would like to connect Mac Mini to HP windows 7 Laptop as to use
    the laptop as keyboard and monitor instead of connecting to TV and using
    separate keyboard.
    Is this straight forward to do? does it need some workaround? or is it impossible?

    Hi, you'd have to setup Screen Sharing on the Mini first it's like Remote Desktop on PCs.

  • Can I use my I Mac monitor with a mini mac?

    Can I use my I Mac monitor with a Mac Mini?

    Which iMac and which Mac Mini...?
    Only the late 27" iMac's support input for use as a display with another system that has MiniDisplay Port output.
    You might be able to use > ScreenRecycler, however I'm not sure how your going to set it up without a display for the Mac Mini.

  • I can make a WiFi connection but pages will not load. WiFi works for a laptop using windows

    I can make a WiFi connection but pages will not load.  WiFi works ok on a laptop using Windows.  I have reset the WiFi settings but this makes no difference.

    Thanks, Linc, but  that almost helped:
    Because the retina 15 only has a wifi connection (no ethernet), that's the connection I'm stuck with for the notebook. But on the 27iMac, I did have both ethernet and wifi enabled. When I turned the wifi off on the 27, therer was a brief moment when both computers were showing their counterparts when I tried to make a network connection. BUT, after a few seconds of 'searching', the computer I was trying to connect to disappeared from the Network list.
    So I tried the opposite; the retina can only connect thru wifi, so that's a given. I swithched my ethernet off and then enabed the wifi on the 27 and ....same thing: When I try a network connection, there are a few seconds of 'searching', then the ony option I'm left with is share screen, which doesn't work either.
    I've read the 'dropped' network is a problem with the retina, but the odd thing is that I never lose my internet connection—that continues to work fine, as does Air Drop—but I can't seem to connect, network-wise.
    Any ideas about the dropped network?
