KVM with mini and out of box problem

#1 Just bought a refurbed mini, want to share kvm as I have in the past with a wintel laptop.
Anyone using a kvm controller with their mini? I've got a iogear with my existing wireless k/m and the mini doesn't like it very much. Sporadic mouse movements, and weird mouse type clicks happening when moving around menus(such as right click result on screen when hand isn't near the button).
I went to a wired mouse for a test as the kvm had a separate usb port for kybd and mouse...that hasn't completely solved the problem.
#2 I've got a 2nd problem which may be causing the keyboard issues. I unboxed my mini, started it and when prompted hooked up my old g4 mac as a target disk unit. The mini flawlessly transferred over all my email, programs, icon's, etc in a little under 2 hours. Rebooted and logged right in to my old environment! Very impressive. Patched it after that and it rebooted fine.
The other night, I turned it on, and the screen resolution was changed. Didnt think much of it thinking the kvm may be messing with it.
Two nights ago I checked my mail and walked away for a while..upon my return it locked. Held pwr key in until it shutdown and went to bed. Last night I turned it on, got the "Osx has recovered.." message. Cleared that and as soon as I opened mail it crashed again(getting the your computer has encountered a problem black box error..). Restarted tried my IM client...crash.... reboot, try firefox...crash.
I haven't tried booting and repairing disk permissions yet. Any other thoughts?
thanks

I use a TrendNet KVM with my Mini and PC.
Empirically I've concluded that a wireless mouse is not a good idea with this setup; I use a wired USB mouse now.
I had to try a couple of KVM brands before I found a good fit. Even so, occasionally I get a key repeat from a single key press, but otherwise everything is fine.
My experience has been that any kind of PS/2->USB adapter used with a KVM is a bad idea. The fewer converters the better.
I'd recommend not using the KVM until you get your other issues with the Mini sorted out.
It is possible that migrating your settings from other Mac is causing some of your problems.

    Do you possibly mean the contacts have been merged?
    If so, where are each of you syncing contacts?  A supported application on the computer? iCloud or another cloud service? An Exchange server?

  • FCP7 HELP - Exported quicktime mov plays differently than what I edited on the timeline. The playback shows the clips with ins and outs that are different than what I set in the clips when I edited - some are too early and the clips don't playback

    Please help ASAP.
    Specs: IOS 10.6.8
    Processor 2.4GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 -- Everything is edited, sourced, and stored on an 2TB external hard drive to make things go faster.
    Editing with FCP 7
    When I export the sequence I edited with quicktime, the playback video is very different from what I edited on the timeline. The playback has the clips with ins and outs that are way off than what I cut, and some of the clips don't show at all or have changed transitions. However when I play in the timeline in FCP, the sequence is fine, just the way I cut it.
    The source of the clips was one long .mov that I cut into clips for the timeline. Everything has gone smoothly but the exported .mov is just so different.
    How can I get the time codes of the clips to be the same in the exported .movs? I just want the quicktime .mov to represent my edit exactly.
    This video is due tomorrow - if the solution is too time consuming, can I play within the FCP player window and Log and Capture?
    Thanks,
    MV

    What is your source material? Is it H.264? FCP does not work correctly with that material.
    Click on a source clip in the FCP Browser, and once selected, type Command + 9 to see the item properties for the clip. Either report those properties, or take a screen shot of the item properties, and post that here.
    Next, click anywhere in your timeline, and then type Command + 0 {zero} to see your Sequence Settings. Either report those Sequence Settings, or take a screen shot of the Sequence Settings and post that here.

    I made the fatal mistake of allowing iCloud to handle my @mac mail account.
    I had set this address up with aliases and never had a problem.
    Ever since iCloud has been handling it I have had problems.
    It seams impossible to claim my account back from iCloud. How can it be achieved or has Apple set a booby trap?

    iCloud is the successor to MobileMe. MobileMe shuts down forever tomoorrow.
    If you only want to use the email portion of your previous MobileMe account you can. You do not have to use all the other features of iCloud, just like you didn't have to use all the other features of MobileMe.
    The email account has not really changed at all. Just the server address it comes from.
    The sending emails problem you are having, is this on your Mac in Mail, in webmail at iCloud.com or on your iOS device?
    When it doesn't succeed in sending, what does it do? Any error message?
    What mail server settings are you using in Mail? What version of Mac OS X are you using?

  • I synced my sisters phone with my itunes and now all her contacts have disappeared and been replaced with mine and also photos... she has never done a back-up is there any way we can get all her contacts and pictures back?

    I synced my sisters phone with my itunes and now all her contacts have disappeared and been replaced with mine and also photos... she has never done a back-up is there any way we can get all her contacts and pictures back?

    Look under iTunes>Preferences>Devices...is there a backup listed for her phone? First thing done when you sync is an iPhone backup. If you have not synced since screwing her phone up, restoring from that backup(if it exists) should restore her content. Do not sync after you restore her phone, eject it. So, first disable auto-sync on that same device pane in iTunes before you proceed. If this doesn't work, is your sister bigger than you? If so, run 'cause her data is gone .

  • Mac mini and Snow leopard wireless problems

    Hi,
    I got mac mini running snow leopard to our office from another branch, this is recently brought mac mini with snow leopard installed,
    But the problem is I cannot connect to internet using wireless connections. Reading other posts i found out that there is a snow leopard issues with connecting to wireless network, but this problem seems to unique. When i connect to wireless network it shows me that, mac mini is connected to wireless network but doesn't take ip address from dhcp , its show some self assigned ip which is 169.254.226.163, but my network address are 192.168.1.*, ethernet works fines,but in wireless even when i gave manual ip , it connect but i cannot connect to internet neither i can ping to router.
    I tried various methods suggests in forms, like deleting network preference files in /Library/Preferences and ~/Library/Preferences and also deleting network connection and adding new one, even updating to 10.6.3 but nothing works for me,
    My macbook nicely connected to wireless and get ip, even PC connect nicely this issue is only with Mac mini
    Could have suggest me how can i fixed this, Thank you very much,
    Best Regards,
    Waruna.

    Thanks DaddyPaycheck for your initial response. Before I jump onto the phone with Comcast couple of questions that I have for clarification purposes:
    1) Are you implying that I must link my blabla.com address to that static IP address through my Domain Provider? See following example:
    Record Type Record Host Record Answer TTL
    A *.blablat.com >>Static IP<< 300
    2) The current IP I have been given 60.172.151.254, why is that not static or how do you know it is not static?
    3) When executing the command host in terminal for this IP address it returns the following: c-60-172-151-254.hsdl.co.comcast.net which coincidentally is the same as primary DNS it recommended during the initial configuration of the Mini Server. What does this mean? When I enter this in Safari it results in 'Safari can't connect to server'.
    4) Executing the same command for my domain name 'blabla.com' it results in my 'internal' IP address '1.0.10.9'.
    Thanks in advance for any clarification you can provide,
    Tiest.

  • Black Screen with MINI and ADC Display

    MacMini OS X 10.5
    Bootcamp
    Win XP
    G4 OS X 10.4.11
    Apple 21" Cinema Display (ADC)
    1600x1024 32-bit color
    Apple ADC power adapter
    Dr Bott MoniSwitch mini KVM Switch
    ADC-DVI Adapter
    I just installed XP on the Mini and I'm having occasional problems with a black screen on start up or when I switch OS. When this happens, I'm unable to get video from any OS or either computer. The only solution I've been able to come up with is to power all systems down and un/re-plug the display from the power adapter.
    I've seen the article regarding black screens under NVIDIA gfx cards but that doesn't apply to my case.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.
    Dave

    Oh, sorry, didn't get that. That monitor was actually called the 22" Cinema, not 21". Apple had a 21" CRT but I think that was called a Studio Display, so I got confused.
    So sometimes it works correctly at 1600 x 1024 under Windows (Bootcamp) and sometimes it doesn't? Is that correct? Those times when it is giving a black screen, have you considered trying to establish a VNC connection to the mini from another computer on the network? You might find that the wrong resolution is being sent to the ACD those times when you get a black screen. Though that doesn't really tell you why it's happening, it's a starting point.

  • KVM, Mac Mini, and iMac

    I think I may have made a mistake by not doing sufficient research and by relying on an Apple retail store supplied answer. To expand, I've purchased a Mac Mini and was told that I could use a KVM switch to share the keyboard and monitor of my iMac G5. Now that I have it home, it looks as though that is impossible. Can anyone confirm this?

    Programs in the VNC family are useful for remote control between Macs and any other OS (Linux, Windows, OSX).
    To initially configure your Mini you will need to borrow a real monitor and keyboard and mouse -- especially if you are going to run Windows.
    Keep in mind that you will need a full, unregistered copy of Windows to install -- unless you plan to run (a limited few) programs in Mac OSX via Crossover. Except for Crossover, Windows programs will need Windows, running either via Bootcamp or Parallels Desktop.
    While a 512 Meg RAM mini would be fine to run WinXP under Bootcamp, you would need at least 1 Gig (preferably 2 Gig) to run Parallels + WinXP. For Windows Vista I think a 2 Gig RAM Mini running via Bootcamp is the only possibility.

  • I chatted online yesterday with Adobe and I have domain problem

    I bought Photoshop 10 and have not been able to login yesterday I chatted online with Adobe and because i used an e-mail address when I upgraded to 10, when I left the company that e-mail address was dead it now causes a problem Adobe tells me because my new e-mail address is not on the same domain, I do not understand why it cannot be linked to my new e-mail, I have e-mailed Adobe about my problem but just thought someone my know how to fix my issue.

    Thanks for the quick response to answer your question I do remember my old pasword for that address, I have both serial numbers for Photoshop Premiere Elements10 as do Adobe because they gave my order number, I changed my e-mail over a year ago with Adobe and have been using Photoshop since just ignoring the message that their system was down when trying to sign in.
    The lady from the Adobe Chat told me that and I quote " However in order to transfer a product from a Company account, we need the account which should be the same as the former" I was an 100% Realtor hanging my licence with that company I paid for all my own business expenses so this should not stop Adobe from connecting them to my new email account.

  • Has anyone else noticed issue with in and out points of Ratings?

    Hi,
    I have noticed that for some clips, the end point of a rating (i.e. Rejected) is the same as the in point of another rating (e.g. Favourite).
    How can this be? Is FCPX treating the out point as the frame after the selected section of a clip, rather than the last frame of the selected section?
    This may relate to another post I have made on in and out points, but was a slightly different issue:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/17142309#17142309

    I agree with your assessment, but really Apply should change this so that the end point of a rating is inclusive (i.e. the end point of the REJECTED rating above should be 00:03:09:14 not 00:03:09:15).
    Another bug to report to Apple!
