Is 2 GB really enough?

I have a Mid 2010 Alum Mac Mini, 2.4 GHz, 2 GB of RAM. It just seems like the spinning beachball is showing it's ugly face too much. Apps taking forever to close, or just respond for that matter. Running 10.6.5 and don't do a lot of heavy lifting. It's mainly for my wife and daughter to use.
Just iTunes, iPhoto '09, Safari and Mail basically. Never have any more than those apps running at one time. Just wondering if more RAM would help with this? 4 GB?
Just so you know, when we purchased the Mac Mini we did a Time Machine migration from a Dual 1 GHz G4 PowerMac MDD running 10.5.8.
Could there be any problems with doing that?

A useful statistic to calculate from Activity Monitor (System Memory tab) is the ratio of PageOuts to PageIns. This will tell you if you have too little real RAM for the programs you are running simultaneously.
If that ratio is noticeably greater than 10%, then you need less program load or more RAM.
Migrating from a PPC Mac could make this ratio worse, if you brought over PPC programs or drivers that are invoking Rosetta emulation to run in the Intel environment. In Activity Monitor, make sure "show all processes" is selected in the pop-up menu in the upper right of the window, then look in the "Kind" column to see if you are running any PPC processes. For best performance, try to find Intel or Universal versions of every PPC process you see.

Is 1GB really enough?

Considering getting a mini as a partner/backup to my notebook BUT im stomped between getting 1GB or 2GB of RAM.
I always have safari, mail, itunes, quicktime, yahoo/msn messenger and use office regularly.
With the intel macs i hear rosetta eats alot of ram. So i'm thinking i should play it safe and get 2GB but something keeps banging "waste of money" at the back of my head
I checked activity montior on my current machine and it says i've used 1.18GB (i have 2GB insalled). I guess thats evidence to go 2GB right?

All these things considered would make me hesitant to get the Mac Mini with 2gb of ram
I too had the same thoughts when I bought my Mac mini with 2GB RAM. The thing is, what needs to be considered in to what use you want your system to take.
Given my use (data/media server and general process dog's body as well as the sentry point between our internal network and the Internet) the fact that the mini is as small as it is, has no display and has less overall power usage than the ATi X1900 XT graphics card in my Mac Pro alone makes it far better than any other Mac I can buy today.
Is the iMac better overall value if you need/want all the things it provides… yes. There are many cases however when it's not.
By the way, to answer the original post… 1GB should be enough for an average user/uses just like it is with a PowerPC Mac as long as you can completely avoid the use of Rosetta. The GMA 950 really only take 80MB so that's not a big issue. It's a common misunderstanding that Intel binaries require more RAM that the equivalent PowerPC binaries… they don't. The only difference is the RAM usage of Rosetta which can sometimes be as large as 400-500MB.

File Error - FCP-6 - "not enough memory" ---DVDPro disk is slightly jerky..

I have a macbook. 2GHz Intel Core Duo, 1 GB 667 DDr2 SDRAM. Final Cut Pro 6.0.1
OS 10.4.11
I have a project file - HD that has worked fine up until now. And wouldn't you know it - it's just
when I need to be able to burn to quicktime that this occurs.
There appears to be a continuing "file error: not enough memory" - anytime I open a sequence - now in any project.
I have done a disk repair with disk utility. I zapped the P-RAM. I've tried dragging the project files to my laptop desktop. Nothing works.
I have a Lacie external drive with over 150GB of memory left. Another project was shot in HDV -
and it seems this started to occur after working on that project.
What else is there? Why is it doing this - of all things, now?
Please advise - ASAP!?
Also, one other small detail. If I have my sequence settings in FCP at DVCPRO-HD720p60, and I set my compressor file at 23.98fps - could that be responsible for a subtle jerking in the DVD Studio Pro Disk print? When I pull up the file in DVDpro - and play it on the simulator, the jerking is not present, only in the disk burn.

The memory that FCP is referring to is RAM. If you're running with less than a couple of gigs, larger projects will report that there's not enough memory... a gig isn't really enough to run FCP anymore. Tiger and Leopard use a LOT of it up so you probably need more RAM.
The other things that can use up RAM fast are graphics from photoshop, and if they have a blank layer in them, you'll get an out of memory error too. So might check that out, but my guts say you need more RAM for your laptop.

2014 retina 13" 8GB RAM enough?

This is a crystal ball question.
My wife just bought a 13" 2.4 GHz MacBook Pro retina with 256GB drive, 8GB RAM. So the 2 week return clock is ticking.
This is one of the newer models where nothing can be upgraded. After recommending going with more than the 128GB drive base model and getting the 256GB drive I was next concerned about RAM. Now I am the owner of a 12 year old Mac so I have a slightly different take from your standard Apple Store salesperson who have a hard time conceiving keeping a computer more than 5 years or so. Not that I feel modern computers are built like the old ones and that you'll see as many 12 year old models 12 years from now anyway. Anyway, the one running in the Apple Store had the standard 8GB RAM and was only running a few basic applications but was already using 4 GB RAM (I checked Activity Monitor). I mentioned this to the sales person and he said Apple had just increased the base RAM in new MBP models to 8GB in response to this. He regarded having 8 GB was plenty for future use unless you're a power user and running FCP and Photoshop and lots of other things (maybe me but not my wife).
Apple seems to have been more tempered in its RAM requirements than in days of yore. Still I seem to frequently use my 1.5 GB RAM on my G4 to its max. vs. the 256 MB RAM minimum recommended with the original Tiger OS install. Mavericks tech. specs state 2GB RAM but it, along with a few modest applications open, jumped to realistically needing 4GB which doesn't strike me as much leeway for OSX 13 days.
My basic question is given that you can no longer upgrade new Mac hardware to adapt to new system and software requirements as you go along, is 8GB RAM really enough if you plan on keeping a computer out to Apple's nominal 5-7 year use expectancy? My wife is the user and probably the biggest demand will be very occasional iMovie editing.
Unfortunately it's either 8GB or 16GB with a fairly notable price difference.
One consideration: Flash drives are faster than old ones. When computers run out of RAM they may start using drive space. On old computers this slowed things down because disk drives are slow. On new computers maybe this isn't so much a problem because you're using chip memory for drive as well as RAM?

Boy, I am terrible at keeping track of old questions. They aren't right in front of you like they used to be with the old forum software.
How long? Well, at least the 4-7 years mentioned above. Basically until it dies or can no longer be used on the Internet. Lack of modern browser is what made me mothball my G3 back in 2006 but my 2001 G4 with Tiger is still viable thanks to TenFourFox. My wife's use is less demanding than me except she doesn't have patience for workarounds sometimes needed with old machines. Still, she doesn't play the game of chase-the-Apple when the latest and greatest is announced.
We stuck with what we bought. She really isn't a power user. Mostly Mail and browsing Internet one tab at a time. It's probably unrealistic but we may just try and stick with Mavericks for the life of the machine. I still use 10.4.11 10 years on my G4 after it came out so it isn't impossible if you don't absolutely require the newest from Apple all the time. No virtual machine (now if it were my computer...). Maybe I'm old school but generally computers are happiest running their original OS or at most one or two upgrades later. I don't see us constantly trying to keep up with Apple in its mad game of chase the upgrade.

Is the 6750M good enough? The $180 decision.

Hello All!
I am having the toughest time right now deciding between an Apple refurbished Macbook Pro vs a brand new one.
Here's what I'm trying to decide between.
- Refurbished Late 2011 Macbook Pro 15" Hi-Res Anti-Glare display, 2.4GHz Quad-core i7, 4GB ram, 750GB 5400rpm hard drive, AMD Radeon HD 6770M with 1GB GDDR5. Price + tax = $2,191.91
vs.
- Brand new Late 2011 Macbook Pro 15" Hi-Res Anti-Glare display, 2.2GHz Quad-core i7, 4GB ram, 500GB 5400rpm hard drive, AMD Radeon HD 6750M with 512 GDDR5. Student discount price + tax = $2,011.65
RAM is not an issue as I have a spare 8gb at home.
What will I be using it for? I'll be needing a Macbook for frequent video editing for various small projects. I'll either be using iMovie or FCPX. My plan is also buy a 2.5" hard drive (either 750GB or 500GB), an eclosure, and depending on which computer I get, swap out the computer drive to keep 500GB externally for video projects.I will also be using bootcamp to occasionally run Solidworks as well as the occasional BF3, COD4 and CSS gaming which is why I am struggling to decide if the 6750M with 512 is really enough?
I am a college student with a pretty tight budget of no more than $2k before tax. If there are any better deals than either of these two, please let me know. (I've heard the early 2011 macbook 2.2ghz was better than the current 2.2ghz so if i can find an early 2011 anti-glare it'd be better.)
I have also been thinking of buying used from ebay or craigslist but I'd rather buy from the manufacture because of the warranty.
Anyone have any advice on what I should do? What would you do in this situation? Is the extra $180 worth it? In advance, I appreciate the help.

No brainer, get the student priced Mac. It fits your budget, its new, and you'll probably get a discount from your school for AppleCare. YOu can use the savings for AppleCare. You won't see the difference in .2GHz of CPU speed. Admittedly its a smaller disk, but you say you'll get an external drive which is smart.. video editing could be too intensive as an internal scratch disk for video editing.. I think FCPX advises to use an external drive anyway to avoid disk thrashing.
Don't risk your money and buy off of eBay or CraigsList.. you just don't know what you'll get.

Can someone please help to solve this.

Unfortunately there's not really enough information for anyone to help you much. I can tell you've hit an EOF Exception, but that's about it.
What exactly do you mean by a heavyweight object parameter? Do you mean a large (in memory size) object?
Without any knowledge of your application, I'd probably start by changing your ejb method to do nothing. That should tell you at least whether it's the serialization of the parameter that's the issue or not. Narrow it down from there.
If you need more help, printing the entire stack trace of the EOFException and posting it here would be helpful.

Printer Setup for HTML reports (Landscape)

I'm trying to print an HTML report in Landscape, the Report Orientation VI only works with Standard Reports, and I can't find anything that will let me modify the "Printer Setup"
Anyone done this?

Jeff,
To print an HTML report it first has to be rendered. To render HTML, you need a browser. For example, you can render HTML in either Internet Explorer or Firefox or Opera, and all three might render the same data slightly differently. To simplify the situation let's say that you're using IE. Once IE renders the HTML, you then have to get it to send the rendered output to the printer. So you can see why it isn't time or cost-effective for NI to try and necessarily support these functions. For the end user however, I'd guess that quite a few people have had this problem.
I have had to do a lot of digging around to get HTML reports to print right. My solution has been to use an ActiveX container with an IWebBrowser2 object (Internet Explorer). This will let you load and print HTML reports programatically however (glancing back over some old code) I don't see immediately how you can print a report in Landscape. With an ActiveX container however you can call the IE print preview function which will let you (the user) modify the report printing to Landscape. It's not a programmatic solution since you have to interact with the GUI but it works. Also, once you set the setting to Landscape, everything printed afterwards using your ActiveX container will also print in Landscape.
Something else which may not apply to you (but maybe--I'll at least mention it) is printing a landscape single image... that's usually why I needed to print landscape... to print out a full page screenshot of a graph or something. I do this in portrait mode by just attaching the control image but rotating it first and adding the HTML code to make it 100% of the vertical page.
Last but not least, if you are 100% set on using a programmatic implementation to print a landscaped report (no user interaction), the best thing to do would be to build on an ActiveX implementation so that your report is being loaded and printed from an embedded IWebBrowser2 object. With the IWebBrowser2 object there is an option for using a pre-defined print template. This option is NOT for the faint of heart and requires you basically to re-program the whole IE print-preview functionality. However, it's not impossible either, it just takes the time of learning basically how the IE print preview interface works and then adapting it to your application (in this case, landscaped printouts). This is also the ONLY way to change HTML report headers and footers. The print preview interface in IE is written entirely in javascript--you can get details on msdn (search for "print preview templates"). However, there isn't really enough info there to do things with any ease. So....
If you get to the point where you get an ActiveX container working and want to fool with the IE print preview javascript templates, let me know. I have extracted the entire template and associated images from the windows DLL it is stored in so I could adapt it and change the headers and footers for my reports and things of that nature.
Now that I mention it, I believe that is the only way also to actually set landscape or portrait--by programmatically changing the printing margins (so it prints 11x8.5 instead of vice versa).
Anyway, hope that helps...

Homefusion - Salespeople not trained on data use

I'm on a share everything plan with multiple family members.
We have 3 smart phones, 1 tablet, and 2 dumb phones. and were able to share 8GB data with no issues (it may have been even lower than that)
Recently the owner of the plan was talked into switching from her existing ISP to Verizon's Home Fusion Service, and adding this service to our data pool. (Had I known this was happening, I would have talked her out of it immediately.. or at least explained what this meant)
She is NOT tech savy (and I'm sure many Verizon customers are in this boat), so she asked your salespeople MANY questions about the service, and was excited about getting better/cheaper/more reliable internet, and finally getting rid of her land line.
Instead, your salespeople provided FALSE information, and failed to inform her of approximately how much data this many devices would use (They left the data at less than 10GB for this many devices, and told her that this would be PLENTY).   She told the salespeople that she streams netflix. They told her that it would be FINE as long as she only watched them from her laptop. What they failed to tell her is, "10 GB of data isn't really enough to allow you to stream more than 10-15 shows/movies on netflix each MONTH. You could quickly run out of data, so perhaps we should start out with a larger data plan, and then reduce it if we see that you aren't using as much as you had thought).   Nor did they tell her that 10GB of data at home isn't really that much (she's not tech savy)
I wasn't aware of the changes to our plan or the impact it would have, until we were in Door County, WI.   This area has extremely limited cell phone coverage and zero chain stores (no Verizon stores). We were on day 2 of our vacation when the first data alert was texted. We had used 50% of our data, and we still had another 15 days to go. (In the past, we only received the 50% usage texts when there was 1-2 days left of our billing cycle).
All of the smart phone users on the plan turned off our cellular data and used the hotel's wifi instead. NOBODY WAS AT HOME TO USE THE INTERNET.   Day 2: I received the text stating we had used 75% of our data. An hour later it was 90%     I tried calling, but didn't have the account password on me. The customer service rep told us we could fix it online.   We raced back to the hotel and I used a computer to log onto verizon's website and adjust the data plan before we went over.
I updated our data, and received a confirmation email that we were in the clear. I looked at our data usage online after adding the extra data and we were fine, so I didn't worry about it again. I figured we had fixed the problem before overages had occurred, and we stopped receiving overage messages.
This was last month.
TODAY I find out that we DID indeed end up with overage charges.   Apparently we were supposed to somehow BACKDATE this data upgrade, or it didn't count (?!). So although everything I saw on the internet looked good, and when the plan owner called a verizon customer service rep who told her, "those overage messages must have been a mistake, you were nowhere near going over".. when it came time to bill us, we suddenly have an OVERAGE that was not there before.   In fact, it wasn't there when I LOOKED a couple of weeks ago when we started getting '50% usage' errors (and logged in to find out that we were fine, and had this fact confirmed by a customer service rep who said that these usage texts were going out in error.. and others had reported them too)
So now we have to pay overage fees, because of misinformation from your sales staff and customer service reps.
Do NOT add Home Fusion to your shared data plan.
Get a CLEAR idea of your existing home internet usage before committing to this service, and get more data than you need until you know what you actually use.
Do NOT listen to their salespeople who try to convince you to get LESS data (hey look at those amazingly high overage fees), and monitor your service closely.
It's actually cheaper to CANCEL this service and pay the early termination fee.
And what exactly does this mean?
"New customers to the service will receive 50% more data allowance for their first 2 full billing cycles. Requires new 2-year activation. Overage is billed at $10 for each additional 1GB. 50% more data not available on Share Everything plan."

Dealing with overages is not how we want any of our customers to enjoy service with us thkidsall. We certainly do not want to lose you. We want all our customers to know they can check data usage at any time by dialing #data on their phones or via My-Verizon online. Yes, streaming, downloading, uploading, games, and apps can all use data. If the person is constantly streaming, data can be used very quickly. This information is also on our website. I would love to know what misinformation you were given, so we can correct this information. The owner of the account signed and agreed to the new plan. They can definitely wait in the future to have another person from the account to join them when choosing a plan and device so they can pick the correct options for your needs. Plus, the data package we recommend is just an estimate of data and we suggest the plan that may be best but also give you the opportunity to change plans at any time to prevent overages. We also provide great advice to help manage data, for instance using wifi, not streaming all day, and closing apps or programs that may use data. Additionally, your phones all have the opportunity to use wifi when available to prevent data usage. In regards to the changes online, we ensure that customers have a clear understanding of future dating, backdate, and on demand. I'm sorry you made the choice to change your data plan on demand and it incurred overages. Were you provided any help with the plan changes and bill? Please let us know if you have any furhter questions.

HT1423 How do I add more memory to my imac 5.1. Lion is requiring 2gb of memory and it only comes with 1 gb of memory

I already have snow leopard.

Hello, Sadly you have to pull those & install bigger ones.
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple/memory/iMac/Intel_Core_2_Duo_2006
And go for at least the 3 or 4 GB kit, & that while satisfying the minimum, isn't really enough for 10.6.x

I just inherited a 64GB ipad. I have passwords for the deceased person but would like to sync it with my mac osx. Know nothing about ipads. Help please

I just inherited a 64 GB ipad. I have passwords for the deceased person but would like to reset everything and start new. I use a mac/0SX but know nothing about an ipad other than turning it on. I am in the same household as the deceased person but does not seem to be recognizing the wireless setup. Any help would be appreciated. Any recommendations as to where to start.

That's really enough information. You can update this iPad to iOS 6.1.2. If there is a microphone icon next to the space bar on the keyboard, you have an iPad 3. But if you are saying that it hasn't been touched for over a year, it probably is not the iPad 3. The iPad 3 is one year old this week IIRC.
If you want, you can go to Settings >General>About>Model to find the model number and it you Google that, you can find out which version of the iPad it is.
I just wanted to see what iOS you would be able to update to. I'm not sure what else to tell you other than what we've already stated. You should set this up as new, update the iOS and then start all over again with you own iTunes content.
The link that Eric posted would be a good place to start so that you can get an idea of what the iPad can do. If you want to restore the iPad back to factory settings, you will need to do this with iTunes on your Mac. You must be running OS X 10.6.8 at minimum and must be using iTunes 10.6.3 (I think) in order to syn with iTunes on the Mac.
This explains how to restore to factory settings.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
if you are that uncomfortable trying to do this on your own, and if there is an Apple Store near you, make an appointment at an Apple Store Genius Bar and ask an Apple tech to help you with it. That is what they do. There is no charge for an Apple Store Genius Bar visit. The stores also offer classes for the iPad that you might find useful as well.

Spilled a whole bunch of coffee on my mbp, 2 days later, working but sticky

It happened last thursday... i just about fainted.
Anyway... took the battery out, inverted it, stuck a fan on it for 2 days, crossed my fingers, and turned it on.
It seems to be working, except the backlight on the keyboard doesn't seem to reach all the keys, and the keys themselves stick. I don't have the tools or the guts to open this thing up to try and clean it, I'd rather someone whose familiar with its guts give it wipe down and assess the damage, but....
There's no apple store where i live. the best we've got is a reseller. I went in there, was told they were "swamped" and since it's working, to come back in a week to 10days.
(sigh) Any idea on it lasting that long?

This is really unfortunate. What's even worse, your Apple retailer sounds pretty clueless. They should have advised you to leave your MBP off and maybe even suggested sending it to Apple if they couldn't get to it in a timely manner. If there is any hope of saving it, the coffee needs to be removed as quickly as possible before it causes further damage. And the machine should be left off.
After a spill like this, the MBP should really come apart as soon as possible, and anything the coffee touched be cleaned or replaced. And it should not be powered up until after this has been done. It can be catastrophic to electronics to power them up with any liquid bridging the circuitry.
You did the right thing by turning it off and removing the battery and drying it under a fan, but two days is not really enough to be sure all the liquid has dried. It can still be working its way deeper into the machine. It may work for a while--maybe even a long while, but its future is dismal.
Your best bet may be to call Apple and tell them what happened and ask about shipping it to them to be cleaned. If you're really lucky, you may only have to have the keyboard replaced. But there's no way to tell without opening it up. And wiping it off is not sufficient--the acids in coffee can eat away the circuit traces over time. Affected parts will have to either be thoroughly cleaned with deionized water and dried or just replaced. It's possible your homeowner's insurance might cover some of the cost.
Sorry to be the bearer of such bad news, but I felt you deserved a straight answer. And I'm afraid I wouldn't have much confidence in your local retailer's ability to clean it properly after the advice they gave you. Just hope you luck out and your Mac can be salvaged.
Good luck!

Internal application error in scheduling a dis file.

Hi friends , i am finding a problem in scheduling a dis file . discoverer says internal application error. some other files are getting scheduled. the query for this particaular report is long. any suggestions , its urgent.................. discoverer version is 4.1 .

Hi,
Not really enough informatoin to debug via a forum, you may need a Service Request with Oracle Support. If staying on 4.1 (recommend 10.1.2.0.2), I suggest you are patched to 4.1.48.08
Additionally, ensure the worksheet runs to completion without scheduling... since you mentioned it is long you may need to increase the data cache, etc.

Windows Stuck in Safe Mode - mouse won't work - need my data...

New Mac User, well two months of trying to get it to opperate correctly. Unbelievable! I've re-installed XP SP2 too many times to count, finally had it up and thought it was running fine for the last week, then I went over to the Mac OS tried accessing windows through boot camp, it shut down the Mac OS, then when I tried to go back to boot windows directly, I received the damning <windows root> \system32\hal.dll file is missing or corrupt - again.
I've gone through a bunch of posts, tried a number of the instructions, and now have a worse issue, my computer is now stuck in safe mode with Windows, by instructions, here, I'd disabled everything for start up in Configuration Utility and checked start up in safe mode there too, so now I can't get it out of it, and since my mouse and keyboard won't opperate in safe mode, I get to the log in page to select user but the mouse just won't move and pressing "CTRL ALTDLT" no response.
In the Recovery Counsole when I rean CHKDSK /r this is what it came back with...
"The volume appears to contain or or more unrecoverable problems."
97638572 kilobytes total disk space.
90877508 kilobytes are available.
406 bytes in each allocation unit.
24409643 total allocation units on disk.
22719377 allocation units available on disk.
So what does that mean? Not sure what the " volume appears to contain one or more unrecoverable problems" means when it's not telling me what they could possibly be. Thoughts anyone?
If anyone knows or has some good advice on how to get windows back up and running correctly, and without wiping out my data - as I can't get it backed up, I would be tremendously grateful...
2 months of this is really enough, dying to use my system, and praying that I can...
Thanks so much,
Kitti

Here's what worked: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/330184
I followed the instructions above and once I finished, After re-booting, I selected Microsoft Windows XP Professional and the System Configuration Utility came up.
On the “General” tab, it shows that the Start Up Selection is on “Selective Startup” with everything checked, but what’s marked “Using Modified BOOT.INI
Tried to change it to “Normal Startup – load all device drivers and services” then re-start.
Windows came back up, but so did the System Configuration Utility and still showing that it was starting up with “Selective Startup”
Now just need to figure out how to start it up in “Normal”, if in fact that’s possible. Will keep you posted and if anyone has any further suggestions, that would be much appreciated.
I do hope this will help all the others that have run into the main issue, which I have found is caused by the Parallels Desktop by they way, not Microsoft, and that start having issues by getting the dreaded " hal.dll " file is missing or corrupt on a direct Boot to Windows.
Very long and sleepless night….

Why when I send a message my friends receive it from my email account..

Every time I send a iMessage to somebody that person doesn't receive it from my phone number but from my email account which is annoying...
How can I fix it/how can I turn it off??
Thanks

This is not really enough information to offer informed assistance...

Small office file server options

Hi all,
I'm having a nightmare getting decent answers from the web and businesses about this, so thought I'd try the forum..
Here is our situation,
We are a small business with 2 mac mini's, 2 macbook laptops and another macbook pro laptop who is remote. (the remote laptop is not a deal breaker)
We are beginning to have a nightmare with file storage, everyone is saving their own work to their own workstation and it's becoming difficult to share files etc.
Basically, our requirements for a solution are:
- Sensible file server, allowing all on-site computers to use the server as a main file storage
- Something I can back all computers up with from time machine
- Useful to restrict certain users to certain files
- Useful to have external access to files when off site and via the likes of iPad etc.
I've looked in a NAS Raid drive and the OsX Lion Server and also the Time capsule and am just so confused at what to buy.
Although the calendar sharing options etc. on the server would be useful, we can also do this via icloud. It's mainly the file access that is such a problem.
I wonder whether a time capsule would be good enough as a file server - which we then back up to the cloud to secure the data.
I really need a definitive answers here as buying a server is a significant investment.
Please help!
Thanks

Time Capsule could be enough for your small business at the moment. But don't you want to look into the future a bit as well? Time Capsule is for sale with 2 and 3TB hard disks which will be really enough right now but upgrading the disk won't be easy (or won't work at all) .
A Mac Mini Server + Thunderbold external hard disk is much more expensive but you're more secure in the future. Diskspace is easily upgraded if nessersary and you're also having the power of OSX Lion Server on your Mac Mini Server.
I want to leave it here and will be awaiting your reply. How much do you want to spend?

Is 2 GB really enough?
