Can I open a Minecraft server on my Macbook Pro?

This is my Macbook info -
Macbook 13-inch, Mid 2012
Processor 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7
Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB graphics
The problem I have currently is that when I open Minecraft (the game), my Macbook temperature count (I'm using smcFanControl) will reach 90 degrees celsius when my fan rpm is on 5015. So, what if I open the console and game both at the same time? Will it reach 96++ degrees? I have now the original RAM for my Macbook that is 2 4GB memory cards and I want to upgrade it only if i can run a minecraft server. So please help me. Thanks in advance ^^

If running the server implies doing complex graphics on the Mac's screen, a 13" model will not cut it, since it just has the piddly Intel integrated GPU. Else, if the graphics are done on the remote client computers, it may be feasible to run the server. If you do, you will want to either connect via the Ethernet port or ensure your Wi-Fi router is 802.11n so there will be enough network bandwith.
The heating may become an issue. A Mac will cut out for self protection if internal temperatures exceed 100C. You may need some sort of cooling pad underneath to improve heat dissipation.
The model can be expanded to a max of 16GB RAM in an 2x8 204-pin PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM configuration.

  • Can I install OS X Server on my Macbook Pro ?

    Q1)
    Can I install OS X Server on my Macbook Pro (mid 2010) and use it as a server in my small office network ?
    Q2)
    If i have OS X Server, can some of the client machines be windows Xp / 7 ? Will it work well ?

    A1: Yes.
    A2: Yes.  (Though this is dependent on exactly what you're planning to do.  Windows Server and Active Directory will be a better choice for Windows distributed authentication, for instance.)
    A3: are you going to have your MacBook Pro configured at a static IP address, with proper local DNS running on your server or some other LAN-local device (server provide and need local DNS, and referencing your ISP DNS won't work here), and will your server be available most- or full-time for the clients that are going to come to depend on the services from the server?  If not, then this approach is probably not the best one.  What happens to your environment and to any of your shared data if you're carrying your MacBook Pro server around and it happens to get dropped or lost or stolen?
    A4: If you're "just" planning on serving storage to your other systems, then get a NAS device.   Something akin to an Time Capsule, or a Synology NAS widget, or similar network-attached storage devices are available, flexible, and cost-effective.  NAS devices are also usually rather less to manage than a full-blown server, too.
    A5: If you have specific services or requirements in mind, somebody here might be able to provide a more specific answer.
    TL;DR: Servers differ from clients in that a client outage generally adversely effects only one user, where a server outage generally adversely effects multiple users.

    how can i open and edit microsoft documents in macbook pro with retina display? I am a new user to mac book

    You could install Office for Mac. You could install a free Office-like program such as LibreOffice. You could open the documents with a program like Pages. Or you could install Windows and Office on your Macbook Pro.

  • Can't connect to work server (windows) on MacBook Pro through VPN - via router

    Due to the nature of my job now, I am working remotely.
    The IT department hooked me up with a MacBook Pro that connects to our work server, which I know is Windows-based, via a VPN. The VPN connects just fine; however, when I go to connect to the server—it doesn't find it. It gives me:
    The server “dc03” may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again.
    Interestingly enough, the first time I used it (at Starbucks, then McDonald's) it worked, but at home it wouldn't. We isolated the issue to the router, since I could do it when plugged in, but no one could figure out what kind of settings were different or weird. I went to the store and bought 2 other routers. One worked, the Linksys, but the Belkin did. WHAT? So the cheaper one worked? This was the easiest solution, because still don't know the bottom line: why?
    Now, a local spot in town that I frequent—one that used to allow me to connect to my work server—changed routers (the "newest, fastest" AVIS). So now, I cannot connect and get that same message.
    My IT guys are stumped. I don't personally know enough about this side of technology to be of any use.
    Does anyone have any idea what's going on?

    What is the make & model of the new wireless router that you ISP has provided you? Are you able to administer it if needed?
    For the MacBook Pro, try the following, in order, until (hopefully) resolved:
    1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
    System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
    Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
    1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
    Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
    In the windows on the left side: Select login for Keychains and "All Items" for Category.
    Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
    1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
    System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
    Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
    Restart or log out then back in.
    2. Move System Configuration Files
    (Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
    Go to /Library/Preferences
    Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
    Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.)

  • Can't open documents created in Pages with macBook pro running maverick

    Hello,
    I just bought the new MacBook Pro and downloaded iWork.  Now when I create a document in Pages and save it to Documents, I can't open it.  I get an error messages saying a file is missing.  Also, all my old documents created with Pages that I transfered from my old MacBook won't open.  It says file too old, need to save to Pages 09. 
    Tried opening the old documents in Pages 08 and saving them, but still can't open them.
    Any suggestions?

    Further to my earlier post about this problem, our IT man came in to the office, by coincidence, so I grabbed him and it seems that he has cracked it.
    You need to proceed as follows :
    Select the document by single click on the icon (i.e. select it but don't double click which will try to open it.)
    Go to File Menu and chose "Get Info"
    Half way down the drop down menu, chose "Open with" then select Pages 4.0 (i.e. the iWorks 9 version)
    This process will open that particular iWorks 8 document.
    But, if you also tick the "Change All" box it means that opening with the new version of Pages will become the default and will apply to all iWork 8 documents so you should not need to bother with this ever again.
    So far, that seems to work.
    (One might have thought it would have been a good idea for Apple to have built this in as a default ?)

  • How can I open my flash drive with my MacBook Pro? I can't find it on FINDER!

    My USB port can't open it!

    Do you have your Finder preferences set to show all devices:
    If so, and the USB flash drive is not showing up in the Finder, can you see it in Disk Utility (Applications>Utilities)?

  • Can't open old AppleWorks files on new MacBook Pro w/Snow Leopard

    Just bought a refurbished MacBook Pro, did the migration from my old (2 yrs) MacBook via FireWire. Many of the old application icons are not appearing in my Dock, just Question marks ???. When I click on a ?, it indicates the name of that app which was there on the old MacBook, but there's no icon & I can't open the app from there. I can't find my Adobe Reader app, & several others, on the hard drive. Maybe I can find a work around for those....
    BUT - zillions of files in the old AppleWorks/ClarisWorks files open in sometimes unreadable text, with all formatting gone. I NEED these files!! Please help!!

    Thanks for your reply. When I try opening an AppleWorks documents with Pages as you suggested I get the message that the AppleWorks document is damaged.
    Ahh...then it may actually be damaged. All of my old AppleWorks docs (word-processing docs) are opening just fine with Pages. On the other hand, if the AW doc is a drawing or database doc then Pages might not be able to open it. If the AW doc is a spreadsheet, it might open with Numbers.
    Would you suggest that I use Migration Assistant to transfer my older files from my iMac to my MacBook (rather than using the thumb drive?) Will it ask me about overwriting files? My concern is that it may erase some changes to newer versions of documents that were on the thumb drive.
    I do have the installation disk for my MacBook and all disks for the iMac.
    No, If you still have your AppleWorks installation disk, I would suggest installing it and trying to open the 'damaged' docs that way. Later, if an item won't open in Pages but will open in AW, then resave it in AW as a generic format that Pages will open. In this way you can move these docs from the now unsupported AW and into Pages format. If we wait too long, we may not be able to install AW at some point in the future and then your old docs will be orphaned.

  • I am getting Safari can not open page. Server stopped responding.  I have tried several things with no luck.  Anyone know what to try?

    I am getting message Safari can not open page.  Server stopped responding.  I have tried several suggestions but they have not worked.

    This is on an iPad, correct? Are you sure you have a network connection? Is your iPad Wifi or Wifi & 3G? I know these might seem like dumb questions, but we've got to narrow it down to get a solution. If you're absolutely positive you have an active network connection we can move on to other things.

  • Iphone 4 error message while in wifi "safari can not open page because server stopped responding" after iOS6 update

    I am currently using my Iphone 4 in wifi networks only after canceling my cell phone plan. Over the weekend I did the IOS6 update on the iphone as well as updated my macbooks itunes and OS X operating systems updates that were available.  Since that my iphone's safara app won't connect.  After it trys to connect for a minute or 2 I recieve the message: "safari can not open page because server stopped responding".  However ALL other apps that require the phone to be connected to wifi for use work properly, i.e app store, imessage, pinger, facebook, etc.  I have checked all network setting and they looked right to me.  Anything I'm missing, ideas to try, or am I sol (lol)?  Safari worked perfectly before the update so I thought I might have done something wrong or forgot to change some type of setting.
    Thank you!

    If you can access Facebook while on Wifi at home, but you are unable to access it while away running on your carrier's 2G network, I could phone your carrier.  You have already completed the Cellular Data troubleshooting for the iPhone, so any limitations keeping your from connecting to Facebook over cellular will have to be answered by your carrier.

  • TS3276 I cannot connect to my outgoing email server on my macBook pro, yet I can, for the same email account on my iPad. Also I can send emails from the other email account I have on my MacBook...really confused can anyone help?

    I cannot connect to my outgoing email server on my macBook pro, yet I can, for the same email account on my iPad. Also I can send emails from the other email account I have on my MacBook...really confused can anyone help?

    Sometimes deleting the account and then re-creating it can solve this issue
    Write down all the information in accounts before doing this
    Highlight the account on the left and click the minus button
    Then click the plus button to add the new account and follow the prompts

  • Can I use Mac Mini as a "server" for a MacBook Pro and iMac?

    I want to develop a simple system for accessing my files from multiple devices.
    I heavily use iTunes (190 GB), iPhoto (120 GB) and iMovie (30 GB, but want to do more when I get time).  Additionally, I store lots of old videos on circa 10 portable hard drives (1 TB each), which I access occasionally. 
    The family use all this content and we currently have a MacBook Pro and are considering buying a new computer - either a new MacBook Pro or an iMac. We also have iPads, iPhones etc and a Time Capsule. We use wireless fibre optic broadband.
    I don't really want multiple iTunes and iPhoto libraries.  We want all our music and pictures in single master libraries that we can all access and update.
    As there is seemingly too much data to store on iCloud, we need to find an alternative solution. 
    My possible solution is:
    (1) Load my master iTunes, iPhoto and iMovie libraries ("iTPM libs") on a Mac mini
    (2) Buy a new MacBook Pro or iMac (probably doesnt matter which)
    (3) Link the MacBook Pro(s) and iMac to the Mac mini to access iTunes, iPhoto and iMovie and the master iTPM libs
    (4) Plug the portable hard drives into the Mac mini whenever I need to access the video content stored on the portable hard drives
    (5) Add "users" to the system (i.e. family members), in the same way you would access a shared server at work
    (6) Over time, buy more computers to access the system in the same way
    My questions are:
    (1) Is this system feasible?
    (2) If so, can I edit the iTPM libs from the MacBook Pro or iMac?
    (3) If so, what happens if both the MacBook Pro and iMac are accessing the libraries at the same time? Which takes precedent?
    (4) Would this solution be significantly slower than having separate libraries on the different computers?
    (5) Is there an alternative approach that might work better for my needs? (which are, after all, relatively straight forward).  When I went to the Apple store they were unsure!
    Many thanks.

    […] We want all our music and pictures in single master libraries that we can all access and update.
    The "update" portion of this is where your problems will arise.  You'd be better to consider your proposed system initially in terms of content "consumption", before getting into the nitty-gritty of editing shared content.
    iTunes has the Home Sharing feature built-in, which solves the content consumption issue.
    I don't know anything about sharing iPhoto libraries, but this KB article looks useful.
    As for iMovie, I think there are two things you want to do: share the raw data (sound effects, music, photos etc.) that are used to create iMovie content; and share the finished results.  Is that right?  I'm not sure how you'd go about doing that, but if you clarify your aims in this regard, it'll help the next person who comes along.
    When it comes to updating content, such as adding new music to iTunes or iPhoto, I'd suggest you do it through the Mac mini directly.  This seems the least problematic solution.  You wouldn't necessarily need a dedicated display for the Mac mini - you could use remote desktop or VNC or what-have-you.
    As for speed: doing anything across a network is always going to be slower than doing it locally.  But, it probably won't matter for content consumption (though if you're all watching different movies at the same time the drives on the server may struggle, and the wifi bandwidth might be tight).
    I hope this represents a good initial response to your query.
