HOW DOES THE NEW MBOX 2 MINI WORK WITH THE MAC MINI?

I have a old original Mac mini 1.25GHz with 1 GB SDRAM - 40GB Ultra ATA drive, 4x SuperDrive (DVD±RW/CD-RW) OS 10.3
I also have just added the new MAC MINI 1.66 CTO OS 10.4
with the following configuration:
* Processor 065-6673 1.66GHz Intel Core Duo
* Memory 065-6676 1GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM-2x512
* Hard Drive 065-6750 120GB Serial ATA drive
* Optical Drive 065-6679 Combo Drive
In addition, I have a MicroNet 150 GB external hard drive.
The 3 are linked together so that the icons for the MircroNet and the old Mac mini are shown on the New Mac mini desktop.
I’ve kept the New MM as is for apps, moved most of the files and folders to the MNet, and have done a reinstall on the old MM, getting rid of almost everthing that was on it originally except the OSX and apps.
I’m thinking about using the old MM to set up a recording studio. This would involve the new MBox 2 Mini with ProTools LE. For details, just Google it. It comes 2 ways, configured for the G4 MM or for the new Intel MM. I’d rather not clutter up the new MM with this, as sometimes the Digidesign Pro Tools apps can be a bit toxic.
If I get the MBox 2 Mini and run it on the old MM, will this work? Has anyone tried this? Do I have enough processing power and speed, ram and hard drive space?
Thanks!

Hi Larry,
I just purchased a Mbox 2 Mini. I am running it flawlessly with my Core Duo 1.66Ghz Mac mini w/2GB RAM.
I have not seen the two versions for Intel and PPC Macs as you described. Digidesign only produces one box...compatible with Mac or PC.
The Digidesign site states that the Mbox 2 Mini is compatible with your 1.25GHz mini, but Pro Tools LE 7.3.x requires Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.x, not Panther 10.3.x.
You would get far better perfomance using the Intel mini over the PPC. And, you would get better perfomance by maxing the RAM out as well.

  • Will the Apple Magic Mouse work with my Mac Mini?

    Hi
    I have a mid 2007 Mac mini — the Model 2,1 — running Mac OS X Snow Leopard, 10•6•8
    I’m thinking of treating myself to the Apple Magic Mouse, or Trackpad.
    Will the Magic Mouse, work with this model and version of the OS … ?
    (I’m ALSO told I need to have Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0: how do I go about checking that I do … ?)

    I'm not sure about the 2007 mini, but a quick check is to open your system preferences and look for Bluetooth preferences.  If there aren't any, then no magic mouse for you...

  • Does The Apple USB Modem Work With The Mac mini ??????

    Just wanted to know if anyone has successfully used the new Apple USB Modem with the Mac mini, is it compatable ????
    Thank you for your input on this.
    Mike D.

    It says it works with the Mac mini, but does it really? I just received my modem yesterday and could not get it to work with my 1.42 mini - the more expensive one that comes without a dialup modem! I looked carefully at the specs and it appears the Apple USB modem requires Mac OS 10.4.3, not the 10.4.2 that comes with the Mac mini.
    Talk about stupid! And the mini docs say it comes with the "latest" version of Tiger. Not! So I can download the upgrade, I guess. IF I could get on the internet! This is extremely annoying. I guess I'll have to download the upgrade on another computer and transfer it somehow. Boy, those Apple guys sure are tech geniuses, aren't they???

  • How the IVI New Session.vi works with the ivi.ini?

    Hi,all
    Does anyone know how the IVI New Session.vi works with the configuration file ivi.ini?
    And when the ivi application running, how the ivi calss driver refers to the right specific instrument drivers without changeing the program?
    Thanks,

    南京众知维测试技术有限公司

    Which VI or function are you referring to? There is neither an "IVI New Session.vi", nor a corresponding "Ivi_NewSession" function in C.
    The Ivi Class Drivers determine which specific driver to use at run-time, by looking up the resource descriptor (a Logical Name, or Virtual Instrument) and determining the associated Instrument Driver. That configuration information is settable by the user through MAX (Measurement and Automation Explorer).

    There is no difference please be aware that each login is provided with two activations however.  If you wish to have a computer at both work and home activated though that is perfectly fine as long as your employer is ok with using company software at home.

  • Does the new AIM Triton work with Ichat?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know if the new AIM Triton works with Ichat AV? I know the Beta version was not working but don't know about the new triton release.
    Also, has anyone tried video/audio communication between Trillian and Ichat? Does it work? Is it better than AIM?
    Thanks,
    Stefano

    I have been working with the Triton on a PC and after much research (frustration), I have found this stated on the AIM support site:
    http://www.aim.com/helpfaq/startingout/getstarted.adp?aolp=#six
    Q: Is AIM Triton compatible with AIM 5.9, AOL 9.0 and iChat?
    A: : AIM Triton works seamlessly with AIM 5.9, AOL 9.0 and iChat. You can send and receive instant messages with your buddies using any of these clients. Certain features may not work across all clients at this time. Voice Chat with more than two people only works with other Triton users. Video Chat will work only between two Triton users at this time.
    So after reading around, I believe the 5.9 will video to the iChat 3's but I haven't had the time to try. Other posts suggest this to be true. Including many by Ralph.

    Unless you enabled Find My iPad on it before it was stolen then there isn't any way to locate it. If you did enable it then you could try locating it either via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPad disabled on it.
    If it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.
    If it was never registered to your account then it won't appear on your support profile : https://supportprofile.apple.com/
    The only other ways to find it that I know of (apart from on the actual device) are via the packaging, the backup on a computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4061

  • How do I get the camera on my Dell Monitor to work with my Mac Mini?

    ow do I get the camera on my Dell Monitor to work with my Mac Mini?

    If the camera registers itself as a standard UVC compliant Cameras (UVC = USB Video Class) then the Mac will recognise and use it with nothing else needed as the Mac has a built-in UVC driver. If it does not act as a UVC type device then you could look at the following third-party drivers.
    http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/
    http://www.ioxperts.com/dcam.html
    I have seen some reports suggesting that at least some Dell monitor models will act as UVC compatible webcams and should 'just work'.

  • How to get online apps to work with the Verizon DSL modem firewall set at "Medium" level, not "Low?"

    How to get online apps to work with the Verizon DSL modem firewall set at “Medium” level? Xbox 360 Live, FTP, and the Windows sntp Time checker native to Windows XP WON’T WORK unless the Verizon firewall is first reset down to “Low.” Then all works well, but I then risk low firewall protection. Setup: · Westell 6100 DSL modem (Software Version: VER:4.04.03.00 Transceiver Revision: 7.2.3.0 Model Name: C90-610015-06), · D-Link DIR-655 wireless router (Hardware Version: A3, Firmware Version: 1.21), For Xbox 360 Live the “canned” port forwarding rule for provided in Verizon’s drop-down list for the Westell 6100 modem forwards ports 88 and 3074 for both TCP and UDP. This does not meet Microsoft’s forwarding recommendations for Xbox 360 Live stated at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/908874. Instead, for the Verizon modem (Westell) I made a new port forwarding rule to comply with those Microsoft instructions. It forwards ports 53, 80 and 3074 for TCP and ports 53, 88 and 3074 for UDP. These same ports are also forwarded in the D-Link router configuration. For FTP, port 21 is also forwarded for TCP and UDP in both modem and router. But they don’t work until I first cripple the Verizon firewall down to “Low.” How to get them to work with the Verizon firewall up to Medium?

    While I do not know the answer to your question, BUT since you have this modem and another router - you could just follow.

    I'm not so sure about that. I'd say the jury's still out until someone gets one and tries to use it single-link.
