Anyone use a Chat 50 on a Mini

Looking to see if there is a way to use a Chat 50 TC system with a Mac Mini
Drivers seem to be located on the site and the OS recognizes but does not work
as a VTC device with mic and audio...any ideas?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You may get slightly better color in Apple menu -> System preferences -> Displays -> color if adjust those settings, or the Options settings for how the display handles overscan. You may get more resolution support over mini-DisplayPort, though you can try HDMI and see how well it works. There are mini-DisplayPort to HDMI 1.3 adapters that are really good for the Mac Mini. Apple sells a few that do the job and so does http://www.macsales.com/

Anyone using LaCie d2 DVD burner with mini?

I am considering a mini with 1g ram and a 23" moniter. I've been reading that some external DVD burners are significantly faster the the superdrive in the mini. I'm looking at the LaCie because it also burns labels and includes Toast 6, which I must have to burn multipe sessions. Also, it will enable me to burn dbbl layers and can be used with other computers we have. Anyone have experience with this?

Karen,
You do not have to buy Toast to burn multiple sessions using a built in drive - it is possible with the software Apple provide (Disk Utility). There are, however, other advantages of Toast which make it well worth obtaining. Toast doesn't have to build a disk image before it starts burning the CD/DVD, which Apple's software must do - this is particularly significant when writing DVDs on the Mini because duplicating 4.7 GB of data on the computer's less-than-speedy hard drive adds ~25 minutes to the time taken to burn the disk. Secondly, the ability to select a specific disk format in Toast, in my case ISO9660, is indispensable.
For what its worth my Mini, with a SuperDrive, can burn a full DVD in ~16 minutes using Toast, or burn and verify in just over half an hour. I use Sony DVD-R media and burn 10-20 disks a week.

Anyone using this DVI monitor with the mini ViewEra V174SD-B Black 17" 8m

I contact Viewera support to ask if they had any information on whether this LCD is compatible with a first generation Mac Mini 1.42GHz computer. They said they only had information on users of Windows PC.
I really like this LCD but I don't want to go through the hassle of purchasing it only to have to ship it back.

Never got an answer so I bought the Samsung 930BF instead.

Just curious if anyone has EVER been able to use "live chat". In the past 6 months no matter how many times I try I see the message, "All agents are busy right now" Even if I try at midnight

Has anyone had any success with live chat? I have NEVER been able to reach anyone. I complained to the FCC and an executive at Verizon contacted me I asked what options they had for me to contact anyone at Verizon (after trying to call them repeatedly and being put on hold and then disconnected repeatedly). I said "I have never been able to reach anyone by live chat"-- her response was that is the very first time she has ever heard that-and that live chat is ALWAYS available." I told her to try to reach her own customer service a few times and then she might know how it really works. So I am curious- is it just me? Has anyone been able to get through on live chat, and if so were they helpful?

How unfortunate! I love the online chat! Just used it on the 1st of October to inquire about the new data tier pricing. So much easier than waiting on the phone or in line at the Verizon store.
Perhaps you need a faster internet connection or an update to Java on your computer.
Hope my responding helps you figure it out!

Anyone Used X-Bench on new iMac?

Hello all,
Anyone used X-Bench on the new 2.8 24" iMac? Mine has just been dleivered to my grans and am picking it up in a bit. Got a 24" now and was wondering how it was performing.
Ryan

In fact, yes, there have been some tests done by Other World Computing. Bottom line: the 2.8 GHz iMac beats the others. Looks like the performance scales equally between the 2.0, 2.4, and 2.8 GHz models.

Anyone using a Yamakasi Catleap 2703 Monitor with a Retina Mac Book Pro?

Hi,
Anyone using a Yamakasi Catleap 2703 Monitor with a Retina Mac Book Pro? If so, is it working well and would you do it again? Is it compatible with the Apple dual DVI cable?
Thanks,
Alan

I just got a Yamakasi precision 2703. I'm using it with a 13" macbook pro (non retina). I got it working with a thunderbolt / minidisplayport to dual link DVI adapter from monoprice for $~70. At first I didn't think it was going to work, plugged it in, turned on the display, nothing happened. I unplugged, plugged the USB cable back in and the monitor came to life. Working great so far. I bought mine from green-sum on ebay. The recommend not using this monitor with apple computers due to overheating issues... I don't see why that would be the case, though. I've only been running it for a couple days, but so far no issues, and I've been happy with the monitor, no dead pixels, no bleed in the corners.
The monitor stand on the 2703 isn't too bad, a little wobbly but not as bad as the others from what I've read. The monitor does sit a little low, though. I have a much sturdier stand coming from monoprice for $20+shipping, which will provide tons of adjustment, both height and rotation.
Good luck!

Has anyone used Thunderbolt or USB 3.0?

In the not too distant future I am intending to upgrade from my 2008 24" 2.8GHz iMac.
The new models appear to have gone down the Thunderbolt route which appears to be not very popular with HDs being few and far between and very expensive.
USB 3.0 whilst theoretically only half the speed seems to be taking off and reasonably cheap, and appears to be more universally adopted.
Could Apple have backed the wrong horse on this occasion?
Sorry, I was just thinking aloud, definitely not speculating.
So has anyone used Thunderbolt and got anything good or bad to say about it?

Not personally:
The german computer-magazine c't tested the Promise Pegasus R6 Thunderbolt and found it speedwise way ahead of USB 3.0 and eSATA.

Has anyone used Migration Assistant to move services from one system running Server to a new system?

So, I've purchased a Mac mini to replace my aging Mid 2009 mini on which I've been running Mavericks Server. In trying to answer the question of how best to move services from the old machine to the new, I've stumbled into the fact that Migration Assistant can apparently migrate not just user data for workstations and laptops, but also service data for servers. The problem is there isn't much detail in the docs about how good a job it does when going from one machine to another without changing OS releases. There's a very detailed document in the KB about going from older versions of Server to new (OS X Server: Upgrade and migration from Lion Server or Snow Leopard Server) and a general doc on migrating from another Mac under Mavericks (OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mavericks) but that has no details about Server.
Has anyone used Migration Assistant to move services from one system running Server to a new system? Are there any details that are particularly important to get right? Are there things that require manual steps after Migration Assistant is done?
There are other ways I could tackle the problem, of course. I could simply swap drives between the systems, but the new system has two drives that are bigger, faster, and I intend to mirror them. That would complicate such an approach. I'd really like to keep the conversation constrained to a discussion of Migration Assistant as the primary method.

yes. I migrated a server frm lion to mavericks following these notes a while back:
OS X Server: Upgrade and migration from Mountain Lion
i do not recall having any problems with it.

Surfing the Internet using Windows 7 on a mac mini

Has anyone been able to surf the internet using Windows 7 on their mac mini? For some reason, I am unable to do so. I can surf fine wireless using the mac OS side, but not on the windows side. Even if I am hard ethernet wired.

Have you attempted to do any troubleshooting of the IP stack on W7, such as pinging to other IP addresses?

Has anyone used the Seagate wireless plus with an iPad?

I would like to use this wireless external drive to store videos and then stream them to my iPad. Has anyone used this drive and if so how do you like it?

Hi everyone,
I am frustruated with the Seagate Wireless Plus. I think most of you just download movies in it and then watch it on your tablet. I thought this can be my external storage for everything including the content of my iPad. Not so easy!!! I can't see anything from the content of my iPad when I connect it wirelessly to Seagate. I wrote to Seagate and apparently there is another thing called WebDav in order to do it. I think Windows are winning here how easy it is to connect devices. Simply, I can see the demo stuff from the Seagate on my iPad but nothing the other way, no pictures, no music, no videos stored on my iPad can be seen from the Seagate. If there is somebody who can explain to me how to do it before I will return the Seagate to the retailer please do it in a way normal people understand. Don't say "I think" as most of people in these forums do, please say only "I know" and lead me step by step what to do. I have the latest iPad mini with iOS7, 32GB WiFi & Cellular with Retina display. I've already updated the Seagate OS to 2.2.0.005 exactly as they advise by installing the 2.1.0.014 prior to that.
Please forgive me for the tone but those 10 hours I spent so far without any results are too valuable to me.
Thanks in advance. Danny.

My question is that if I am using Mac and another friend of mine is using Ipad mini and her skpe isnt working and we want to share screens how can we do it through Ichat? Since on facetime screens cant be shared!

My question is that if I am using Mac and another friend of mine is using Ipad mini and her skpe isnt working and we want to share screens how can we do it through Ichat? Since on facetime screens cant be shared!

Hi,
You can't.
Messages - the replacement for iChat in Mountain Lion and beyond will do Screen Sharing but only to the accounts it did in iChat 5 and 6 (actually it includes iChat 4 as well)
That is to say in earlier version of iChat you could login to AIM and Jabber servers as well as enabling the Bonjour option to chat on your LAN.
All these will do Video and Audio only chats which in turn means they will Screen Share.
At iChat 6 an Yahoo option was added but it can only Text chat (it can't even send Files or Pics)
This means only the Internet able accounts that login in to AIM or to a Jabber server can Video and therefore Screen Share.
The iMessages account will Invoke FaceTime if you use the Video icon during text chat. (I.e. it is not Video inside the app like the AIM or Jabber accounts can do)
NOTE.
AIM includes Apple Issued Apple ID as Valid AIM Screen Names.
Google Mail ID s can be used and Google Talk IDs with Messages as they run a Jabber server.
Facebook allow you to create a Chat ID (Facebook Chat ID) which is also a Jabber server.

Has anyone used DETOX MY MAC and can it be trusted

My Mac Mini n now running very slowly, its difficult to open up anything, and starts up really slowly. In general its just a pain. For a week now I can't open my emails in AOL, I can see them but can't open them.
I have thought about DETOX MY MAC but I am worried that I will just be downloading more problems. Has anyone used it and can it be trusted
Thanks Ann

Don't install such "utilities." They're all scams.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

Anyone using kmymoney personal finance management system?

anyone using kmymoney personal finance management system on a mini?

The ability to retrieve a set of distinct values (across all nodes) for a given Property Definition is not a built-in capability.
However, you can add this capability, like this:
- find an external storage location for storing this data (basically a 1:m relationship from String propDef to propDefValue) -- see below for some ideas.
First, process existing nodes:
- for each property definition on the specified type:
- retrieve all nodes of that type (by iterating, or by query)
- for each node of that type:
- retrieve the property value
- check if the property value is in the external storage location; if not, add it
- end for
- end for
Once this is complete, you only need to process new nodes:
- when node of the specified type is added, for each property definition:
- check if the property value is in the external storage location; if not, add it.
You can construct your drop-down list from the external storage data.
Several ideas for the external storage location:
- unrestricted property choices on the associated PropertyDefinition on the ObjectClass.
- database table
- content nodes of a new type.

Has anyone used the Black-Magic Design Multi Bridge?

Currently I have a Black Magic Multi Bridge Extreme. It works, but there seems to be an issue with a very (hot) running unit. The fan is running (very loud I might add), and does seem to cool down the unit, just a bit. If there is anyone using this or simular unit, could you provide some feed back. Thanks

I've got a new Mac Mini running HDMI to a 40" Sony Bravia Flat Panel... works fine.
I do have an issue when I turn on the TV and wake the Mini from sleep... the screen stays really dim. Not sure if it's the Mini or the TV that's the issue. After the Mini is fully on... a power cycle of the TV seems to bring everything back to normal.
Brett, I have the same problem when I bring the mac out of sleep mode. Have you managed to find out why we have to switch the TV Off then On again to get the picture? Or another solution? Very annoying when you have 1000's $ worth of equipment but the solution is still "Have you tried switching it Off and On again" (All due respects to the "IT CROWD").
