    Of course you do because you're no longer on the same network.

  • HT204291 3th. gen apple TV with 5.2.1 and mac mini with 10.8.3, only black screen on TV after selecting Apple TV on the airplay icon. how to troubleshoot?

    I have a 3th Gen Apple TV and a late 2012 mac mini with IOS 10.8.3
    - Connected thru HDMI to an ASUS monitor
    - Apple tv connected with wire
    - Mac Mini connected wireless.
    - I can see the Airplay icon on the screen
    - I can select my apple TV on the icon pull-down menu (first time it asked me for apple TV password)
    - Once selected, my monitor resolution changes and apple TV goes to a blank screen. On the pull-down menu, my apple TV papears selected and the option "match desktop size to:" is selected for my Apple TV.
    Any ideas on how to troubleshoot?
    Additional Info:
    - I can stream from iTunes music with no problem
    - From an Air (on same wireless network) I can mirror my display. And form iPad and iPhone I can stream video and music.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Restart your mobile device.

  • Problems with SmartDisk Firelite 80gb and Mac Mini

    I purchased a SmartDisk Firelite 80gb hard drive to use to dump documents/itunes library onto to free up room on my mini itself. Thing is I work in an MAC/XP enviroment and I would like to be able to go between the both with no problem. The thing is I don't want to use the FAT file system. I would like to use a more secure format. Thing is what is a format the both can read? .. and How can obtain this? I'm not sure if i can partition this particular drive, that is the problem.
    Please help !!!!
    -thank you .. brian

    Hi Brian,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    I believe only FAT32 (MSDOS) are the only Mac OS X and XP compatible volume format. Yes, you can partition your hard drive; you should look at Partitioning a hard disk. You may want to look at Mac OSX Hints: Create HFS+ and FAT32 partitions on one external drive.. Your hard drive should be in FAT32 already, so you shouldn't have to reformat it.

  • Lacie Speakers and Mac Pro Firewire problem waking from sleep and loud feed

    Lacie Speakers and Mac Pro Firewire problem waking from sleep and loud feedback. I had a powermac before this with the speakers and it worked fine. But the mac pro is having these issues. Is it the firewire port or the speakers or (and most likely) just a firmware glitch with mac pro? Anyone else see these issues?

    http://web.mac.com/jerimydulay/Site/MyAlbums/Pages/Lacie_FirewireMIDI.html
    Here is my audio settings. For some reason I wish I could remember what I did. It was actually the Apple Store tech in the Unversity Village in Seattle that gave me the idea and I swear I had to change the settings in MIDI setup. Now that Leopard is out it seems the MIDI stuff has been redone. I included screenshots of my MIDI setup as it is currently to see if you see something different on your computers. Let me know!

    Hi,

    Your help is really appreciated"

    Thanks a lot i followed the instructions for safe mode (i found out that i was pressing the C button after restarting) i did whats written there but the repair couldn't be performed so in addition i needed to re-formate the HD so i erased the volume and then repaired the disk--> quite disk utilities --> start the installation from the installation DVD.
    Thanks really appreciating your help

  • Premiere Pro Timeline with 3 video channels and 4 audio channels, audio channels change to 8 channels when clip dragged onto timeline.

    Premiere Pro Timeline with 3 video channels and 4 audio channels, when clip dragged onto timeline audio channels change to 8 channels. Audio track mixer changes too. I edit undo to remove dragged clip and it reverts back to 4 channels of audio on timeline as does the audio mixer?  Any ideas as to why the audio channels and mixer changes?

    you can check the clip you are dragging to the timeline, if it has 8 tracks... can check by right clicking it in the project bin, choose modify, audio channels.

  • Can you use a 2007 Mac book pro as a monitor for a current Mac mini?

    Is it possible to use a 2007 Mac book pro as a monitor for a current Mac mini?

    Use a product such as ScreenRecycler over a network. All of these products require a standalone monitor to set up.

  • External iSight mic not working with facetime.  Snow Leopard, mac mini w/ firewire v1.0.2, 800/400 firewire adapter

    External iSight camera connected via Firewire adapter 800/400 to a Mac Mini running Snow Leopard - a visual signal comes up for iChat and FaceTime, only sometimes does a video signal comes up for PhotoBooth, always no sound for any of the applications.  System Preferences "Sound" shows "Input Level" set around 75%, however only periodically do I see blue bar move, almost like a short in the cable, but the adapter is new.  Firewire firmware is v1.0.2.  Tried to use firewire updater to get 1.0.3, but updater won't update for Snow Leopard.  For being advertized as the world's most advanced OS, seems like Apple OS could at least work with Apple External iSight camera !  Any help much appreciated on fixing the missing sound.

    This means that my Firewire 400 ports on the display are no longer supported by the computer?
    They need a FireWire connection to the computer. With older computers, the FireWire cable from the display would plug in to a computer FW400 port to provide the connection. With FW800 only computers, you need the adapter.

  • No 3D chart anti-aliasing with 3D Grow effect on Mac Mini

    Today I have just purchased a Mac mini for the main purpose of rendering Keynote animated 3D charts for a doco I'm editing. I am using Keynote '08 (4.0.3).
    As it turns out, anti-aliasing works on the 3D charts as long as there is no '3D Grow' effect on them. However, if I apply a '3D Grow' effect and view the slideshow, I get the jaggies and no anti-aliasing, even when the animation has finished. I also get no anti-aliasing when exporting as Quicktime in any format.
    I get anit-aliasing on my Mac Pro at work, but not on this Mac Mini so I wonder if there is some incompatibility with Keynote and the Mac mini graphics capabilities.

    Hi, thanks for your response.
    Actually, I have no transitions grayed out, although for the build effects on Charts, 'Flame' is indicated as unable to be used on this computer.... so you're right, it doesn't look good. Strange that I can use a build effect like Sparkle or Shimmer which are anti-aliased but for 3D grow, some growing blocks of a chart can't be anti-aliased
    I guess it's back to the store to try and exchange this mac mini for an Imac.

  • Any help with a Time Capsule install and Mac Mini server screen share?

    Installed a Time Capsule, now I can't access my mac mini server.  I see the files/folders, but cannot screen share with the mini from my macbook pro.  Any help?  Error below when trying to use the "screen share" button in Finder.  Macbook Pro and Mac Mini are using Mountain Lion 10.8.2.
    Connection Failed Error: Please make sure that Screen Sharing (in the Sharing section of System Preferences) is enabled on the computer to which you are attempting to connect. Also make sure your network connection is working properly.
    Please help, I'm really stuck on this one!

    Try removing the TC and see if the problem disappears.
    Screen Sharing has a checkered histroy looking back through the posts..
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16026896#16026896
    There are many discussions about failing after changes in Lion.. I haven't seen the equivalent ML yet.. the TC may not be root cause, just the initiator of the problem.
    It could be the BTMM associated with the TC.

    Hi Guys,
    I have a problem with Importing Pictures onto my Mac mini with Lion installed by using a Card Reader,
    What is the problem here so I can get Pictures onto my Computer. ,

    Hi Noob Søren
    There are a few things that are confusing in your question.
    As far as I know, you dont have to install Time Machine on this OS as it is already installed for you. You only need to connect a hard drive to your computer via firewire or usb, click on the Time Machine icon, Open Time Machine Preference in the drop down menu and select a disk: your connected hard drive.
    You can of course reformat this connected device, partition it into a few volumes to organise data if you so wish.
    I find it strange that your mac's hard drive is divided into two volumes... perhaps this was created through bootcamp?
    You can access the configuration of your hd through Applications/Utilities/Disk Utilities.
    Clicking on one of the icons on the right hand panel will bring the details of the contents of your hardDrive and volumes. From there you can decide to erase a partition, reformat etc....
    If your hd contains more than one volume, and one of them is empty, you could decide to remove it. Back up all your important data before doing so.
    Hope this helps

  • Finder is still crashing with Lightroom 1.3 and Mac OS X 10.5.1

    The problem reported with Lightroom 1.2 and Mac OS X 10.5 (Finder crashes when trying to read a JPG whose metadata contain some Lightroom specific development settings) is still present with both updates... Any hope Adobe would provide us with a way to fix existing pictures/metadata?

    The Lightroom XMP data for snapshots, which is totally valid XMP data makes Leopard barf because Apple's implementation of XMP in Leopard is not capable of parsing the snapshot XMP. This is most totally Apple's fault...and only Apple can fix it...
    The Photoshop CS3 & Leopard issue with text entry in certain tools is another Apple Leopard fault that Apple will need to fix...
    There is also an issue with Epson print drivers running under Leopard and Lightroom 1.3 where printing is not picking up the correct data and print come out light...the same drivers will work with CS3 because CS3 is using the older, none Leopard pipeline. Also note that CS3 will NOT be able to print out using the Leopard 16 bit pipeline while Lightroom 1.3 will be able to...as soon as Epson revs their drivers...
    Look, Leopard has introduced MAJOR changes well above and beyond the marketing features Apple promotes....eveybody is scrambling...but to Adobe's credit, they HAVE responded well and quickly to those issues Adobe can fix. Those Adobe CAN'T fix will have to be fixed by the companies responsible....

  • Can I install Windows XP SP1 with Bootcamp on my new Mac Mini 2011 i7 ?

    Can I install Windows XP SP1 with Bootcamp on my new Mac Mini 2011 i7 ?

    Baiscally if your Mini came with Lion Pre-installed new then No you can't use XP.
    The Lion installed computers no longer support XP OR Vista via Apple's Boot Camp.
    For one thing Apple only supported XP with SP2 in order to install it on pre Lion computers.
    If the Mini had come pre-installed new with say 10.6 then you could have installed XP and still of been able to upgrade to Lion without any issues as you already have the drivers for XP installed. Lion only has the drivers for W7.
