2006 Mac Mini (Intel 1.83) Connected to HDTV without Mouse and keyboard

I've connected my Mini to my Samsung HDTV and can use LogMeIn to control it from my iPhone and iPad via wifi. However, after the Mini goes to sleep, I cannot wake it up via LogMeIn.
I know there is a setting in energy saver to "wake on ethernet connection" but how do I wake it using LogMeIn or some other remote control app via wifi?
My Mini is on Snow Leopard.

How about using the Apple Remote that came with the Mac Mini?
If you set it to Automatic Login in the Accounts / Login Options, then you should be able to wake it and navagate to your media using your Apple Remote.

    My pointer keeps turning into a colorful spinning pinwheel. Mac OS X(10.5.8) using a wireless mouse and keyboard ,desktop computer.

    The spinning wait cursor (or "beachball") generally means there's some problem that's causing the current app to freeze, or slowing down the current application, or that's slowing down the whole system. 
    Here's an overview of the spinning wait cursor.
    Make a backup first, using the Disk Utility tool booted from your installation DVD to external storage.  This backup to ensure you still have access to your most current and complete data, shut this be a problem with your hardware.
    Then use Utilities > Activity Monitor.app and the Utilities > Console.app tools to see what's going on, and whether there are related errors being logged. 
    There are some general troubleshooting articles around, too.

  • What is max size/spec for upgrading hard drive in 2006 mac mini intel core duo 1.66?

    I've been through the commuity and on-line retailer pages and I'm confused by the variety of answers here.  I know the max thickness must be 2.5."  But some say 5400 RPM; others say 7200.  Some say 1TB but show only 750GB.
    Is iTB safe in this box?  Overheating issues? 
    I've seen a Seagate Momentus 1TB from one retailer but can't find any trace of it at others or on the Seagate site.

    Hello,
    The most important thing is that it be Serial ATA (1.5 Gb/s) compatible, there is no practical limit other than manufactured size in that form & speed.

    The 750 GB WD I checked was SATA 3 Gb/s.

  • "self-installation" of memory in Mac Mini Intel Duo 1.66

    I am using a Mac Mini Intel Duo 1.66/512 memory at present and as obvious for anyone with this machine it requires more memory.
    I am considering buying 2GB of"Crucial" memory, which they advertise as"self-installable" in 15 minutes.
    Is it really viable for one to do this himself?
    An Apple dealership is quite inconvinient for me, so this, at this point, is my only way of upgrading.
    Caleb

    If you do it yourself watch the video then consider a couple of things:
    1) Use a card, putty knife, taping knife, or whatever at the same time on both sides. You'll notice the retaining clips drop down or re-attach a few times in the video. That's just not worth it. Get both sides out at the same time, but:
    a) don't break the tabs
    b) try (if you care) to not mar the METAL.
    2) I don't know if you caught it in the video, but the trick is to load both the memory modules into the slots and THEN press the slots down. It seems counter-intuitive, but once you see how it works you'll get the idea.
    Then there's the 'little black cable' in the front. IIRC it's the fan controller. BEFORE you disconnect it look at how it re-connects. It's slotted, but it's a little bit of pain.
    If your machine is the new duo 1.66 vs the old top end duo 1.66 it probably will look at bit different than what was shown. There might be caps above the airport card. If you look under it (ok antenna) you'll see two vertical bars. Pinching these together releases the unit. Pay attention to where the wire is routed, as it's...well...just a little odd when you think about it.
    Is it worth doing? If an Apple store isn't an option or you're stubborn, or just enjoy working on machines then yes. If it's about saving $35 installation fee and a couple of hours w/o your machine then I'd say no.
    If you break something you will void your warranty for that part and anything directly affected by the damage caused to that part (or if you live somewhere w/o halfway decent consumer remedies you might just void the whole thing by thinking about opening it so check you local rights regarding this matter). If you've seen repair sheets from Apple you know how much components cost so don't break anything or be prepared to live w/ it.
    Finally...and I couldn't watch all of that video...if it gets to testing the machine BEFORE re-assembing the case you might want to consider what will probably happen: You MIGHT knock out 802.11 service around you because a normally shielded antenna is now free and is a nice and potent emitor. If you live in a densly populated area then be considerate, get it all right the first time and put it back together (or test it in the basement if you're smart).
    Good Luck,

  • I have a 27in mid 2011 iMac and a 2006 mac mini

    i have a 27in mid 2011 iMac and i have been given a 2006 mac mini i have no screen to see whats going on on the mini and there is no os onboard how do i get OS X on to the mini so i can get to use this with a tv with hdmi i have the mini dvi to vga connector and a vga to hdmi lead into a samsung 32in led tv, tv keeps saying not connected???

    - You said "Apple dvi to via converter with a via to hdmi cable . What is a "via"? I think you mean VGA.
    Just what VGA to HDMI cable to you have?  VGA is analogue while HDMI is digital. The Mini DVi out is both analogue and digital (DVI-AD). You would need a converter to convert the analogue VGA to digital.
    - Yes, when you boot up you should get a chime if the Mac is functional. The chime The sound indicates that diagnostic tests run immediately at startup have found no hardware or fundamental software problems.[1]
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh_startup
    Thus it appears the Mini also has a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. It is free.

  • Mac Mini Intel Core Solo 1,5GHz won't turn on

    Hi at all!
    I'm in a trouble with a Mac Mini Intel Core Solo-based.
    Well, when I connect power cord, after a while, Power LED self-turns on (without powering on the Mac), but Startup Chime isn't played, there aren't no video signals on screen, Optical Drive mechanics isn't initialized and no Hard disk Drive noise is audible.
    I can hear only (if I put my ear on Mini's body) a bit Fan Noise (and a bit air flow on the back).
    If I stay-pressing power button for 4 seconds, Mac turns off. It I re-press that button, Mac turns on again. Finally, if I long-press the power button, Mac DON'T perform PMU reset (with classical speed flashing of power led, Long beep and Startup Chime).
    What can I do to fix this problem?
    Thanks very much to all readers!

    You're right!
    I wrote PMU instead of SMU.....in fact, mine is an Intel-based Mac, and PMU is present only in PowerPC Architecture.... ^_^
    Sorry for my expression error.....:)
    While I'm writing..... I thought that, in my Self-repairing operations on the Mac Mini, I've also replaced the internal 3V battery (because, with a multimeter, I'd can verify that battery voltage was only 1,75V instead of near 3V). After that, I left Mac turned off for a certain interval of time (I was busy in other personal activities). So, when I turned on again the Mac (after the complete reassembly of the entire computer), the Startup chime was played and the Mac beguns to work.
    Is possible that, in the Mini - Intel Core Solo 1,5GHz, a low internal battery can cause problems like in the old dear iMacs G3 ????

  • 2006 Mac Mini running mirrored display on display and HDTV

    I have an early 2006 Mac Mini.  Got a DVI to DVI/VGA splitter as that's the input my TV has(RGB VGA/3.5 audio).  Plugged it in and if I connect it to both my monitor and my TV I get nothing on the TV.  Unplug the monitor and the TV works.  Is there a way to get them to work while both plugged in?  I'm perfectly fine with mirroring. 
    On a side note, I know the max for VGA is going to be 800x600, but it doesn't fill up remotely anywhere near the full screen.  Is there a way to stretch that so that it does that? 
    I just want this to be able to power the display so it can be used and also be able to stream things to my TV, preferably without constant switching of the splitter for the ease of other users. Anyone have any thoughts?  And no, I don't want to spend the money on the Matrox system.  Thanks for the help.

    Now what if I bought a DVI to VGA to connect from the DVI split side into my monitor via VGA, would that work?  Or will it being split into VGA and DVI already screw it up and I therefore need to just get a straight DVI to dual VGA splitter?

  • Can I use my late 2006 mac mini as an external drive for my late 2012 mac mini?

    I have a (late 2006) Mac mini that I would like to use as an external drive for my (late 2012) Mac mini.  Is this possible and can anyone suggest what cables would be needed.  I am aware that the ports are very different i.e firewire and thunderbolt.  Thanks in advance!

    - You can boo the old Mac in Targe Disk Mode and connect the two via FireWire (FW) You will need a FW 400 to FW 800 cable or a FW 800 or FW 400 cable and appropriate adopters
    How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode - Apple Support
    - Use the old Mac normally and setup Disk Sharing and access the old Mac via the network. The old Mac's disk will show up  under Devices on the new Mac. One you set up the old Mac yo do not need mouse or keyboard or monitor. You can also setup Screen sharing and actually use the old Mac from the new Mac.
    - Remove the HD from the old Mac and place it in an external USB enclosure of dock and connect it to the new Mac

  • Aluminum keyboard not being recognized during start-up on 2006 Mac Mini

    I have a 2006 model 1.83ghz Core Duo Mac Mini.
    I purchased an Apple Aluminum keyboard to use with the Mini.
    The keyboard works fine, in general.
    However, upon rebooting, the keyboard is not recognized for initiating commands.
    For example, holding the Option key down does not bring up the Startup manager screen,
    holding down the C key will not allow booting from an Apple Leopard DVD,
    holding down Command S will not initiate single user mode.
    The keyboard firmware update has been installed.
    I have tried different Aluminum keyboards on the computer, with the same result.
    The aluminum keyboard works at startup on a 2007 Intel iMac.
    I also have a 2007 model 2.0ghz Mac Mini,
    it does not have any problems recognizing an Aluminum keyboard at startup.
    I have had the logic board replaced under Apple Care, this did not help.
    Apple products simply should just work together.
    Daryl Woods

    This is ridiculous and unacceptable. I have the same issue with this $%*& keyboard and my iMac CD (January 2006). A Mac that is less than 3 years old should not be made less functional by a basic peripheral like a keyboard. If Apple can't or won't address this issue they should at least make the previous generation keyboard - that functioned fine - available.
    I had to replace my original keyboard and am now stuck with a less than functional, newer one... pretty unbelievable.

  • Dualdisc cd side won't play on my mac mini intel core duo w Superdrive

    Shakira Fijacion Oral DualDisc "CD" side will insert and then automatically reject from my Mac Mini - Intel Core Duo. The DVD side plays fine. Unfortunately iTunes not smart enough to work with DVD side. There is a query in IPOD forum about Springsteen DualDisc also failing on intel mini mac that is listed at "answered" but for the life of me, I can't tell if you are supposed to just not buy DualDisc or else take the Mac Mini back for a new drive.
    mac mini (intel core duo)   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   2GB RAM

    Mac Mini Intel Core Duo's did not ship until 2006 which seems plenty of time for Apple to announce 'we have a problem' and what their recommended solution.
    Why would they do that ? I mean, they don't have a problem. The inventors of DualDisc made a type of disc that won't play in all players, and Apple can't really do anything about it. Superdrives are not made by Apple, it's just Apple's name for a DVD burner; the Superdrives that are found in various Macs come from several different manufacturers, and although Apple probably ensures that the Superdrive and the Mac work well together, they won't test whether it works with each type of disc (usually, the manufacturer will).
    However, that is probably limited to redbook/standards-compliant discs; since a DualDisc's CD side doesn't comply with any standard other than "DualDisc", and because it is not considered important enough to be officially supported by most (if not all) manufacturers, they probably won't test them since they're bound to get mixed results anyway.
    Similarly I don't remember seeing a "strictly redbook only" disclaimer on any of the media available from Apple describing the capabilities of its Superdrive when I was making my mac mini buying decision.
    You didn't see one because it is not required. Asking that Apple (or any other company) warns you that their players won't play non-redbook CDs is a bit like asking that they tell you everything your optical drive won't play. Apple claims that their Superdrives will read CD-R/RW, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, DVD-R DL, which aren't only a bunch of weird-looking letters, but also correspond to a standard. When you see a CD logo on a drive, it means that it will play redbook-compliant CDs. Your Dell player simply does more that what it is supposedly capable of, but because one (or many) optical drives will play DualDisc doesn't mean that they all have to.

  • Mac Mini Intel SATA 1.5gb/s or 3.0gb/s ??

    I want to upgrade the HD to Fujitsu's MHW2160BJ ( 100MB/s ) but this is default SATA 3.0GGB/s and I do not want it to run at SATA 1.5GB/s or close to the junk I have installed in it now or at half speed then I might as well keep the junk that is inside it now.
    SATA 1.5GB/s defeats the purpose of spending money on a HD.
    SATA 3.0GB/s justifies it as then I will in Win on bootcamp be able to get 100MB/s instead of the default Seagate 33MB/s or the replacement Hitachi 7200rpm running at 45MB/s in win on bootcamp.
    I am frustrated with the poor HD speed in OSX 10.4.9 the same Hitachi running at 45MB/s in win on this mac mini intel runs only at max 21MB/s in OSX.
    So the hardware is good but a setting / ??? in OSX slows everything down.
    Result = Need faster HD Fujitsu's MHW2160BJ .
    OR need info on how to correct this slow OSX performance.
    40MB/s+ in OSX if it can take the Fujitsu's MHW2160BJ would really be nice provided it can do SATA 3.0gb/s
    NB:
    Found info on intel website about 945 based laptop type motherboards being locked in SATA 1.5GB/s and their desktop motherboards have the SATA 3.0GB/s enabled / installed / working.
    Page 35 form Intel PDF " 30701303.pdf "
    Any ideas ?

    This Mac mini developer note indicates a fixed 1.5Gbps on the SATA hard drive connection:
    http://developer.apple.com/documentation/HardwareDrivers/Conceptual/Macmini_0602 /index.html
    There does not appear to be a newer technical note about the current 1.6/1.8GHz current Mac minis, but the lack of one might indicate there were no significant changes.

    Unforunatelly the mac mini will not boot, if it is not connected to a keyboard and a screen.
    Running under Tiger the mac mini will boot without connecting a screen and keyboard. Further I can use a VNC-Server and VNC-Client in order to operate by remote control.
    Has anyone of you an idea how I can solve my mac mini boot problem?

  • Logitech headset Skype and Mac Mini Intel

    Hi,
    I own a Powerbook G4 and a new Mac Mini Intel Duo Core.
    Both machines run the same latest OSX version 10.4.6.
    On the Mac Mini I have a problem using Skype with my Logitech Headset 350 (usb). The system does recognize the headset, but for some reason the microphone of the headset is not working. The speakers work fine. I did set the prefrences right in the Skype menu.
    But on my Powerbook G4 the headset works perfectly fine.
    Could this be an Intel issue? Maybe I a driver (can't find one on the Logitech site)? Anyone any clue?
    Thanks, Fred

    the headset is not working. The speakers work fine. I

    I have the same headset and it works fine. First, directly connect it to your mini, don't use the keyboard's USB hub since it can only drive 100mA devices. Second, check that the mic is actually on (the blue LED is constantly on, not flashing).
    If it still doesn't work go to System Preferences->Sound->Input then select the "USB Headset" and speak into the mic and watch the input level meter. If necessary adjust the "Input Volume".
