Mac Mini & al browsers and apple alias/discussions

I tried to sign up for mac mini discussions on my mac mini that is having problems. It would not let me sign up and kept telling me that my alias was wrong. So I signed up on my lap top , but the mini still doesn't see me as a user in these discussions. Also everytime I order something through Safari, the last item is the only one in the e-cart. It will not keep track of all the items and the amount $ ordered. Am wondering if I have a problem with other software, as Safari worked fine last month and probably two weeks ago. What do yiu think I should do to get Safari, or any other browser, to work again? Is it the Mac Mini?
Thank you for your help.
Mac Mini   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   Lots of memory

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
You might want to clear your Safari cache (click Safari and empty cache).
If that doesn't help, then reset Safari (click Safari and reset safari).
If that doesn't help, quit Safari, and delete com.apple.safari.plist in your library/preferences. Sometimes this file becomes corrupt and can cause odd behaviours. Deleting this file will delete any Safari preferences you've previously defined.
If still having problems, consider Firefox, which is what I use. You can get it at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ or Opera is another browser which can be found at http://www.opera.com/download/index.dml?platform=mac . Or you can try the new Safari 3 beta, which is at http://www.apple.com/safari/

  • Mac Mini, Sonology NAS, And Apple AirPort wireless router, Will this work?

    [IMG]http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL256/13533814/24272354/405877013.jpg[/IMG]
    OK, so my plan is to create a home movie server for the living room and the kitchen as illustrated in the diagram. I Plan on using a mac mini (current generation) as the liaison between the NAS and the receiver. I will install XMBC on the mac mini’s as a movie organizing software. I will use the iPad app to control and select movies from the system. This setup will repeat in the kitchen with the exception that I will connect the mac mini directly to the television in which the audio out will go to a jack which connects to the in ceiling speakers. Will this work? Are there any other suggestions that anyone has to make it more streamline? I also assume that there can be simultaneous movies being watched in both rooms via the NAS. Thanks for all of your comments and help

    in theory, yes, but you work network admin may have locked the network preventing this from working

  • How do I pair my new Mac mini (mid 2011) and white Apple Wireless Keyboard (2003)?

    I just bought a new Mac mini (mid 2011) and can not set it up via my Apple Wireless Keyboard (2003). I'm disheartened but not surprised that my Bluetooth 4.0 Mac isn't backwards-compatible with my Bluetooth 1.0 keyboard. But I can't find any documentation confirming the fact that my non-paired, but tested & perfectly functioning keyboard will not work with current Macs.
    I was however, able to locate a tech support doc (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4112) that mentions my Apple Wireless Keyboard (2003) is not compatible with iOS devices. (Which is not critical because iOS provides a non-physical keyboard. Aside, it would be lovely were Apple to add a non-physical keyboard to Mac OS X, if only so new desktop owners can continue to set up their Macs in a pinch.)

    I just bought a new mini mac (lion 2011) with a wireless keyboard.  I could not get the mac to recognise the keyboard.  Spent several hours back with the Genius team who replaced keyboard and mac but did not get anywhere.  They gave me a wired keyboard, was able to configure the mac and then it recognised the wireless keyboard.
    Seems this is a problem with the new mac/OS

  • I buy a mac mini from amazon, and it is registered on another Apple ID, and i need to change it to mine, how can i do that, note that i can't contact the previous owner of this mac, what shall i do to set it under my Apple ID

    Thanks

    As I said you need to:
    You need to wipe the hard disk and reinstall the OS by booting into the recovery partition and reinstall the original OS via the internet. It will ask you to enter your ID

  • If i have multiple iPhones and Mac Mini sharing the same Apple ID, can I use Facetime between the devices?

    if i have multiple iPhones and Mac Mini sharing the same Apple ID, can I use Facetime between the devices?

    Yes, but if you want these devices to have complete capability of calling each other they each must have their own separate, individual e mail address.  If they don't have individual e mail addresses, the i phones will be able to call each other because you'll be using their  individual phone numbers -- the Mac mini will be able to call the i phones, but, the iphones will not be able to call the Mac mini.  This is because the iphones will be using the mini's e- mail address to make the call, and if they have the same e mail address, they will think they are calling themselves, so the call will not connect.
    So, the way I see it is,  if you keep all of the email addresses the same, the only thing you'll loose is the ability of the iphones to call the mini.
    EDIT:  Thinking about it, my first sentence needs to be modified.  Your iphones can share an email address but it must be different from the Mac mini address.
    This isn't rocket science, but it can make your head spin. LOL

  • New iMac or new Mac Mini... and iPhoto Library separate drive?

    I have a 2007 iMac Intel Core Duo 2.4Ghz (4 meg RAM) with a hard drive in need of repair, according to Disk Utility (and repeated by DriveGenius 3.)  The Repair option is not available.  I have had occasional difficulty with this particular Mac, and this is actually my second hard drive,and it is out of warranty.  I had already planned to replace this computer later this year.
    In attempting to download and install Lion OS, the install failed, and the computer became essentially inoperable.  I was able to use Time Machine to get it back running, but cannot repair what is surely a damaged HD.  Apple Support came to the same conclusion.
    I have become interested in a few goals:  (1) To purchase a Mac Mini along with an Apple Thunderbolt monitor (when available) in order to separate my CPU from my monitor.  (2) I want to separate my media files from a CPU hard drive for safety, for the very problem I am experiencing now.  (3) I want to make my iPhoto library and iMovie library available to my wife – perhaps on an external dedicated drive - for her newer iMac, to various iPhones and iPads, and to two Apple TV units. 
    We have a home network with an Airport Extreme, and several Ethernet outlets.  Both iMac’s currently use Western Digital external drives for Time Machine backups.  I have another external Seagate drove solely for my iMovie files.  I just purchased a Time Capsule 2TB (but have not yet opened) with the idea that this would be where the “shared” iPhoto library resides.
    My questions –
    Would you recommend using a Mac Mini + monitor, or go with a new iMac (my current iMac is my third and the only one that has given me some problems.)  I do not have any specialized use of my computer beyond the common iLife applications.
    I want my photos and videos to be easily available to my family on their Apple devices (I’m the only one with the significant family photo library) and I haven’t quite devised a plan to accomplish that.  Can you make suggestions?
    Thanks for any assistance you can offer.

    Currently the Library is on EHD 1 and you want to copy it to EHD2?
    Connect them both to the iMac. Make sure EHD2 formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)  and drag the iPhoto Library from EHD 1 to EHD 2
    To open either Library with iPhoto 11: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    It will update the Library to the new formats. Remember once you do this the older versions of iPhoto will no longer be able to read it.

  • Just bought a new mac mini, wireless keyboard, and track pad. My track pad will not synch. All advise I have been given is to change items in the setting menu, but I cant because I still have to get through the setup!!

    Just bought a new mac mini, wireless keyboard, and track pad. My track pad will not synch. All advise I have been given is to change items in the setting menu, but I cant because I still have to get through the setup!!

    The power button for the Trackpad is on the right hand end of the battery case. Press that button to initiate the pairing process. On the top of the Trackpad just above the power button is a tiny green light (you probably cannot see it unless it is lighted). That light will indicate ehther or not the Trackpad is discoverable. If the Trackpad has discoverable the green light will blink on and off. If it does not pair within 3 minutes you will have to press the power button again to re-initiate the pairing process. Once your Trackpad has paired, you can just leave it on and it will pair automatically when you reboot your Mac.
    If you are having problems pairing, try turning off any other Bluetooth devices within 30 or so feet of your Mac mini. That includes other Computers, iPhones, iPads, etc. that may be in the area. Once your Trackpad has pairedwith your mini, you don't have to be concerned about other Bluetooth devices.
    One other hint, I find that although the Wireless Trackpad does not eat batteries as fast as the Magic Mouse it still uses more than the Wireless Keyboard. It is a good idea to keep a supply of AA batteries around. I have used Apple's Rechargable batteries, but found they did not last that long before needing to be recharged. I have had the best battery life from Duracell Quantum batteries.

  • Mac mini on photoshop and imovie

    Hi, I am looking to switch over to Mac for non-professional photo editing and video editing. I have been looking at the mac mini basic model and upgrading the ram to 16gb. Is this a good option or is it worth waiting and saving up for the basic Imac. How does photoshop and imovie run on the mac mini?

    You would definitely need 16GB of RAM and you can save some money buying the additional RAM from Other World Computing or Crucial. Photoshop is very RAM hungry, but perhaps even more hungry for CPU resources. If you are going to be doing a lot of Photoshopping I would go for a top of the line mini with the 2.6GHz quad core i7 processor and a Fusion drive. The fusion drive will yield disk I/O performance close to that of a full solid state drive (SSD) and that can be helpful with Photoshop as well. I have done some iMovie work on my fully loaded mini and I have been very pleased with the rendering speed and that is what seems to take the longest time.
    If you already have a good monitor, that you like the fully tricked out mini would be a good buy for you. If you are going to buy an Apple monitor in addition to the mini, the price defference between that and a high end iMac will only be few hundred dollars and the iMac will be faster. I switched from iMacs to the mini because I bought a new iMac I always had to buy both the monitor and the processor. WIth the mini I only have to replace/upgrade one or the other.
    Given you can no longer purchase Adobe products, they are available as rental only tools, you might want to consider some of the less expensive non-Adobe alternatives that are available on the Mac. You may find one of those that will give you the results you want and you can purchase for a fraction of what a year's rent of Photoshop will cost you some are even free. On the other hand Photoshop is still the standard by which all others are compared.

  • AirDrop transfer between Mac mini (late 2012) and MacBook Pro (late 2008) works only one way.

    AirDrop transfer between Mac mini (late 2012) and MacBook Pro (late 2008) works only one way.  I see both machines on both airdrop windows. Firewalls on both machines are set exactly the same way, and with Network Browser set to allow.  Can send a file from Mac mini to MacBook, but not the other way.  Never get a window asking to accept on the Mac mini.
    Found no useful documentation on AirDrop anywhere in the whole support site.

    Maybe this will work. From an Apple support article.
    You can also use the Share button to send files to your neighbors via AirDrop. In a Finder window, select the item you want to share, and then click the Share button in the toolbar. For more information about the Share button, see this help topic:

  • Mac mini 1.66 and pro-tools mbox 2?

    i hope someone can help!
    i just got the mac mini 1.66 and Mbox 2..and the pro-tools software installed flawlessly!
    (pro-tools 6.8.1)but when i went 2 open the app up, it said no hardware was located .....but i had my m box plugged in..... when i got 2 my hardware overview....and checked what is plugged into my usb ports it says that the mbox is plugged in,but for some reason it is not turning on.
    i read from a google search something about passive USB ports not working with the mbox..
    but IDK...
    i'm old school...i'm used 2 good ol analog and somewhat analog/digital...i used 2 record on a alesis ADAT machine....but i lost my studio 2 a flood......and i heard all the rave about Pro-tools....so i said what the heck!
    but me and computers dont mesh...
    please help
    thanks very much in advance..

    Hi AbzZilla,
    I was looking up this post and found you've a similar problem...
    I was having the non-responsiveness with the above configurations in 'LE 7.4 & 7.4.2c (Mac-only), but I have now installed Pro Tools LE 8.
    Unfortunately I still can't get the MBOX2 to work with the Mac mini 2, but the MBOX2 USB status alights now [i.e. it's very bright and now works] on the MBP 17" ...all with Mac OS X 10.5.6! In all previous Pro Tools versions it confirms support for Pro Tools and the MBox, with the Mac mini:
    http://archive.digidesign.com/compato/osx/os.cfm
    So I too am 'stumped' as this is the brand new computer that I wanted the software to be operable on. I've swapped the USB cables (to check if it was a failed cable) and it looks like either a firmware clash or a USB-port power issue? I've also tried non-powered USB hubs... as it could be the later issue? So when I find my powered USB hub I'll let you know, ...if there's a change?
    Until then... I Iook forward to further posts in this thread!
    Thanks for kicking-off the discussion.

  • I have recently bought my Mac mini ( July 12) and have already requested my free update code for mountain lion, got a reference nr, but I still haven't received a code via email to update? Its been 12 days. Any advice?

    I have recently bought my Mac mini ( July 12) and have already requested my free update code for mountain lion, got a reference nr, but I still haven't received a code via email to update with? Its been 12 days. Any advice?

    I am still in the return window but i really do not want to return my mac as i know it has the ability to do what i want, my problem is just finding the software that will work as i know there has been a lot of complications with OS X Mountain Lion with softwares that caim to be compatible but then later turn out not to be.
    I have been a windows user for years and this is really my first mac but apart from the hole software issue i find the mac 10x better than any windows computer i have ever used. For example i bought a HP laptop 4 weeks ago and has nothing but problems. At first the fans stopped working and making weird noises and then it began switching off when ever it felt like it and freezing like mad when i was trying to access the smallest program. I have found that now a days you dont get what you pay for with Windows especially since Windows 8 was released. Also Laptops such as HP now are just crammed with cheap parts, they dont take pride in their systems like they once used to unlike Apple. I know i will get more than a year or 2 out my mac (hopefully a lot more) but with windows systems it just seems to break all the time costing more money on extending warrantys. Also i like mac because i dont need to send it away if i ever get a problem, i can just take it into the apple shop half a mile down the road and they will fix it in store. Where as with windows i am waiting 2 weeks+ to just hear back from them.

  • HT204144 I am on mac mini (mid 2011) and iphone 6 and trying to use airdrop but it is not working.

    I followed all instructions but under mac finder, air drop is simply blank. I have set-up everyone on airdrop on iphone 6 in control center. Am I missing something. I am also on same network.

    I read this paragraph:
    In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed and your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model. To transfer files between two Mac computers, you need one of the Mac models listed below and OS X Lion or later.
    MacBook Pro (Late 2008 or newer)*
    MacBook Air (Late 2010 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 or newer)*
    iMac (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Mini (Mid 2010 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2009 with AirPort Extreme card, or Mid 2010)
    *The MacBook Pro (17-Inch Late 2008) and the white MacBook (Late 2008) do not support AirDrop.
    --end--
    So I am using mac mini mid 2011 and according to this line, I may not use it and need mac 2012, right? but why air drop is showing here on my mac mini is due to fact that transfer between 2 mac computers is possible if one is even of less than 2012 make.
    I think I am clear now. Thank you and see if you have any thought on this?

  • The PDF file and slideshow view corrupted using iPhoto. Macbook air only get corrupted slideshow and Mac Mini both slideshow and PDF file is corrupted.

    The PDF file and slideshow view corrupted using iPhoto. Macbook air only get corrupted slideshow and Mac Mini both slideshow and PDF file is corrupted.

    Saving as a PDF file for some users have been a problem.  If you boot into  Safe Mode and run iPhoto you can create undamaged PDF files.  We don't know why the problem but this is a workaround.
    This problem prevents many from ordering books, calendars and cards since iPhoto creates PDF file of them for uploading and printing.  Booting into Safe Mode lets them successfully order those items.
