Why can´t I see other devices with Bluetooth from my Mac Mini?

Be sure nothing is on top of the Mac Mini. BT and Wi-Fi antennas are just beyond the top. If something is onto the Mac Mini, wireless job will not be OK.

  • HT1338 Why can't I install Leopard for PowerPC on my old Mac Mini?

    Why can't I install Leopard for PowerPC on my old Mac Mini? The massage "This can not be installed on this computer" appears.

    My thoughts are that your difficulties could be one of these:
    your non-retail DVD may only work on a very limited range of Mac minis
    the installer may not like your new RAM
    the installer may not like the language change especially if the disk has not been erased first
    I have seen a little evidence for 3 in the code of other Leopard install DVDs - they appear to have less stringent language checks for erased volumes. Whilst I have never modified model specific installers I have modified retail installers to ignore speed and RAM checks.
    My advice:
    back up your whole mini hard disk to an external disk - see notes
    erase the hard disk and partition into 2 volumes with Leopard install DVD
    try to install Leopard on one volume
    put original OS on the other volume
    Notes:
    Carbon Copy Cloner can be used to backup the whole hard disk
    ensure the mini can be booted from the external disk before you erase the internal disk

    To each his own. I own Outlook, but I avoid using it like the plague. The only Mac mail software I have liked better than Apple's Mail was Qualcomm's Eudora, which is no longer updated or even available, won't run without Rosetta, and unfortunately never quite got the hang of IMAP.
    Check out this post regarding this user's continuing use of Eudora on his Lion MacBook:
    Shield Eudora from Lion's Claws
    A thousand thanks and kudos to Michael for this fabulously excellent thread!
    Eudora's now happy in her new Snow Leopard VM home on my Lion ModBook!
    Appears essential to keep resource-forked data off Lion disk:
    First attempt with Eudora on SL VM was sharing data on Lion disk. Error messages on open like "can't find Table of Contents" suggest Lion ate resource forks crucial to Eudora.
    Found success by transferring data from SL Mac to thumb drive, then mounted drive in SL VM so Lion couldn't touch.
    While Michael warns against storing data in VM, appears there's no choice with Eudora. At least She's enthroned on a mirrored RAID.
    There is Nothing like Eudora! (to tune of "There is Nothing Like a Dame" from South Pacific -- Oops! my gray hair is showing!)
    (It's amazing Parallels can force Lion to store taboo resource forks. Thank God for code warriors!)

  • Why can´t I see contacts and calendar events from my iPhone in my mac pro if I already registered it in the cloud?

    Why can´t I see contacts and calendar events already registered in my iPhone, in my Mac Pro ?  I already actualize LION OSX   and selected these items in the adjustments menu of the icloud. I could do it just once, after I installed Lion OSX, but up to the moment it does not updates.

    Assuming you activated iCloud, try going to Settings>iCloud and make sure Calendars and Contacts are set to ON.

  • Can't find Laserwriter 4/600 on network from Intel Mac mini

    Problem: Cannot find/print to networked LaserWriter using Airport network.
    Kit: Mac mini 1.66 GHz Intel Core Duo, 512 MB running Mac OS 10.4.5; Silver Apple Airport Base Station unExtreme; Netgear 814 combined switch/router/DSL modem; Asanté LocalTalk-to-Ethernet Adaptor; Apple LaserWriter 4/600PS.
    Method: Airport bridges from wireless (Mac mini) side of network to wired (LaserWriter) side via hub/router.
    This setup worked perfectly for many years but did not survive the encounter with Intel Mac mini.
    Resolution attempted: Carried out detailed instructions involving switching devices off and on in strict order, using Printer Setup Utility etc.
    These instructions are posted on Asanté website:
    http://www.asante.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3164
    Getting this to work requires that the Ethernet connection be switched from AirPort to Built-in Ethernet and that the computer be physically connected to the hub by an ethernet cable. The unwanted effect of this is that it denies wireless access to network/internet services formerly enjoyed by Mac & PC computers.
    Running the identical Asanté routine with AirPort rather than Built-in Ethernet as the connection method results in the loss of the LaserWriter to the network.
    Any ideas?

    You can rest assured that printing to a AppleTalk
    printer through wireless network is way down on the
    list of things that is ever going to be tested in the
    labs.
    Point taken. I'm just curious about what might be going on.
    Since I can't test here - the only thing I can do is
    think of possible differences between your two
    networks (wired and wireless)
    I'm not an expert but as I understand it the Intel Mac mini should "see" the network as a single contiguous entity. In other words the AirPort Base Station that bridges between the wireless and the wired parts of the network should be entirely transparent, so I think the answer to your next question is yes.
    Is your network flat (sameIP address range and routes
    wireless as wired)? I could see issues if there were
    a firewall or you had separate networks set up (you
    can have different networks that talk to each other
    through gateways and routing - but things like
    Bonjour/Rendezvous and if my rusty memory is to be
    trusted - Appletalk too - depends on things being in
    the same "network" for broadcast packets to get to
    everyone.)
    Again, I don't know if it proves anything but when I had another computer on network here, the IP address assigned to it by the router was within the specified range. This machine is getting on for three whole years old, has begun to self-destruct and so it's gone for repair under the last gasp of its AppleCare warranty extension.
    The Intel Mac mini can also "see"/print to a Bonjour wireless printer. This may also answer your question about the possibility there being two networks here rather than one. On the other hand, I guess that the ability to print to the Bonjour device does not involve any bridging between the wireless and wired parts of the network, so this may not be relevant.
    If the concept of different networks does not make
    sense - open up the Network Utility application and
    post the results of your "Display routing table
    information" from the netstat section...
    Finally, here's what Network Utility, Netstat comes up with:

  • Why can't I see others in my home sharing, but they can see me?

    I have set up my home sharing and my members can see my libraries, but I can not see their names, or libraries.  Why?

    Howdy slrsij,
    It sounds like for some reason you cannot see libraries on other devices but they can see your library just fine. I would recommend you perform troubleshooting steps 4-7 from the following article:

  • Why can't users update their devices with 5.1?

    I can't update my iPad 2 with the new software and I saw that it's not only me.It says that there is a problem with the server, please fix the bug.

    We are fellow users here, you are not addressing Apple - there are too many forums, threads, messages for Apple to monitor these forums.
    If you wait a day or two then you should be able to download it. A lot of people are probably trying to download the update to the iPad, iPhone and or iPod Touches, so the servers may be having problems coping with the demand

  • Why can't I see other tracks after purchase?

    Itunes won't list all the tracks of an artist after I purchase one. When I first logged in, I  searched the artist, and it listed several tracks. Some were for purchase, some were free. Some were the same, but with different mixes. After I bought one of the mixes, when I try to get back to the original list, it won`t let me. It just goes to the track I bought, not listing the others. Can this be fixed?

    Be sure nothing is on top of the Mac Mini. BT and Wi-Fi antennas are just beyond the top. If something is onto the Mac Mini, wireless job will not be OK.

  • Why can't i add playlists to my iPhone from my mac while they are connected? I keep getting the following message "some items (meaning all of them) were not transferred because iTunes match is enabled." This is incredibly frustrating.

    I keep getting the following message "some items (meaning all of them) were not transferred because iTunes match is enabled." when I try to drag and drop a playlist, song, or album to my iPhone. This was NEVER a problem before iTunes match or the last iOS update. So what is the deal? Why can't i just add music to my phone from the mac? There is space on the phone. The only way I have found to get the music i want to the phone is to have it download from the phone. This is not something i want to have to do: go through and manually add every album and recreate a playlist on the phone when its there on the mac. And, even more irritating, since the new update, when the phone is plugged into the mac i can't actually view from the mac what music is on the phone. This is incredibly frustrating and any help would be much appreciated in managing my music libraries for each device.

    Hi,
    You cannot manually manage music with match turned on on your iOS device. If you want to manage music manually, you will need to turn off match on your iPhone.

  • Why can I not print to my HP CM1415fnw from my Mac, but I can from my PC?

    Why can't I print from my Mac 10.6.8 to my newly purchased HP CM1415fnw (supposedly air print enabled) but I can print to it from my PC?  I thought mac's we're supposed to be easier and this printer is not discoverable wirelessly on my mac or iPad/iPhone/Ipod, but it is from my PC?  I can only print from the mac/iPad/iPhone/iPod to this printer IF the wired cable is installed.  Seems like HP has the problem, but the mac can't even pull up the printer's web page unless there is a wired ethernet connection.  Yes, it is working just fine wirelessly with my PC's on the network.

    Go to the Apple contact page and the first section should say something like "To purchase by phone, please call..."
    Call this number and order a Snow Leopard DVD.
    http://www.apple.com/??/contact/
    replace the ?? with your country's address code, e.g. http://www.apple.com/uk/contact/
    or if you are from America it's simply http://www.apple.com/contact/

  • Can i use the 30" acd with newest 2.4 mac mini

    hey got my mac mini a month ago and i just picked up a 30" apple cinema display. can i get the max resolution out of it? right now i have it connected through a dvi to hdmi adapter and its giving me 1280x800 res

    does this mean i need to buy the $100 adapter from apple
    You need to buy that or a similar adapter from a different company. Single-link DVI adapters can't drive a 30-inch display at a resolution above 1280 by 800.
