Can I run GTA IV on my late-2014 Mac Mini?

I have a Mac Mini running OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 with a 1.4 GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 4GB DDR3 RAM, and Intel HD Graphics 5000. How well (if at all) will GTA IV run on this computer?

Grand Theft Auto IV I assume.

You will have to run it via Bootcamp since there is not Mac version. You will have to purchase a conput of Windows 8.
Based on the above it will run OK. However, it may not run if the game chackes CPU speed. The 1.4 GHz Haswell dual core i5 is really better than the min 1.8 GHz Core 2 Duo and the Intel HD 500 better than them min requirements

Connecting two Dell Ultrasharp Monitors to Late 2014 Mac Mini

Hello, I want to connect another Dell UltraSharp Monitor, (identical), to my Mac Mini, late 2014 model. However, there's only one HDMI port, and two Thunderbolt ports, can I connect two monitors to this machine?

Yes. You can use the thunderbolt ports with either DVI or HDMI adapters to connect the screens to.

Can the Late 2012 Mac Mini Server run on Lion, instead of Mountain Lion?

Since I plan to use this (USB 2) device http://plugable.com/products/UGA-2K-A
on a (yet to be ordered) Late 2012 Mac Mini Server, I am wondering:
could that box run on Lion, instead of Mountain Lion ? (the usb 2 device has some M.L. issues still)
I would not really need the server-part (only want the box because of the 2 disk drives), maybe that influences things.
Would there be any possibility to order it from Apple with Lion instead of Mountain Lion pre-installed ?
Could the latest hardware in the box not-function under Lion, thereby necessitating Mountain Lion ?
Thanks to all for thinking with me!
Best,
Arie

It's simple: you cannot use a version of OS X older than the version that the Mac shipped with. At the very least, this is because the hardware may not be supported.

[SOS][Urgent]Can I install OS Lion 10.7.x on late 2012 mac mini?

Hi all,
I got a late 2012 mac mini device which comes with preinstalled Mt Lion(10.8.2).
I need to run dual boot it with Lion 10.7.x. How can I install OS Lion 10.7.x on this device on different partition?
I've tried many ways but have not managed to do it(Create Lion USB bootable use my friend Lion OS dmg file).
Please help me.

In general, Macs cannot boot an operating system older than the one they were shipped with installed. There are some exceptions with those computers that shipped at the time of transition to a new operating system and still had the firmware that permited the immediately previous operating system. Once the firmware has been updated they can no longer boot the previous operating system.
Depending on the exact manufacture/release date of your computer it may have been possible to boot both Lion and Mountain Lion, but your use of a USB and attempt to boot showed that was not possible.
There is a technique some users say works in this case...and that is to install software such as Parallels 8 on an external drive partition, then install Lion on that partition and run it in a virtual machine environment. This gets very complicated but can be done.
Another alternative you might want to consider is looking at the Apple on-line store, lower left side of that window, and see what refurbished equipement is available that runs Lion. Those computers have been completely gone over by Apple, new batteries for the portable models, new caes, any faults repaired, and come with new computer one-year warranties. They are indistinguishable from a new computer. And if there is one that meets your needs you would have your current machine running ML and another running Lion.

Hi there,
The simplest way is to drag it across wirelessly using the 'Airdrop' application once both computers are near one another. 'Airdrop' can be found near the top, on the left hand side menu, within 'Finder'.

I have a late 2012 iMac and a late 2009 mac mini. I want to know if I can take the 8 GB of ram from the iMac and install it in my mac mini.

I have a late 2012 iMac and a late 2009 mac mini. I want to know if I can take the 8 GB of ram from the iMac and install it in my mac mini.
According to Cruicial my mac mini could use:
Module Size: 8GB Kit (4GBx2)
Package: 204-pin SODIMM
Feature: DDR3 PC3-8500
Specs: DDR3 PC3-8500 • CL=7 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR3-1066 • 1.35V • 512Meg x 64
Also According to Cruical my iMac uses:
Module Size: 8GB Kit (4GBx2)
Package: 204-pin SODIMM
Feature: DDR3 PC3-12800
Specs: DDR3 PC3-12800 • CL=11 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR3-1600 • 1.35V
I want to increase the ram in both computers.
So, can I put the iMac ram in my mac mini and then I'd only have to buy ram for my iMac? Naturally the ulitmate test will be when I actually install it, but having an expectation of success or failure will allow me to plan on what to spend money on.
Thanks,
Bear

Thanks for the responses. I probably wont even try as my priority is Ram for the mac mini. 2 is not enough. 8 for my imac is okay for now.
Somewhere I thought I'd heard that faster Ram would simply clock at the lower speed. It seems that I am incorrect.
Thanks,

Where can I get an EU power supply for my late 2009 mac mini

I have a late 2009 mac mini. The power supply is good for US voltage only. The new mac mini specs say they can accept 110 - 220 VAC, 50-60 Hz. Will one of these new power supplies work with my older mini? Where can I get one, can't seem to locate on the Apple online store. Moving to France and don't want to leave my mac behind!
Thanks,
JSP

you could get something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Energizer-XP18000-Universal-External-Netbooks/dp/B002K8M9H C
it's about the same cost as an extra battery used to be. there's a range of similiar products at Amazon, i'd check reviews.

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

How can i run snow leopard and leopard in my mac?

how can i run snow leopard and leopard in my mac?

First, your Mac model must be able to run Leopard. Second, you would have to partition your hard drive to create a second volume then install Leopard on the new volume using a Leopard installer DVD.

I have a late 2012 mac mini with an i5 2 core can I replace it with an i7 quad core?

I have a late 2012 mac mini with an i5 2 core can I replace it with an i7 quad core?

A few places online may still offer the i7 2.3GHz quad-core Late 2012 MINI (Oct 2012 to Oct 2014)
that allows the user-upgrade of RAM to 16GB, and this one I've seen is a Server model and has
two 1-TB Hard Disk Drives. The B&H store in NY online has this listed, if in stock now, price &
shipping in continental US is good until tomorrow.
Your i5 dual-core is still desirable to many, & you may be able to resell it if not needed.
Good luck & happy computing!

Can I hook up a wireless keyboard to my mac mini 2005 running OS X 10.4.11? if so how?

can I hook up a wireless keyboard to my mac mini 2005 running 10.4.11? If so how?

The original Mac Mini does have Bluetooth, see > Mac mini (original) - Technical Specifications
Of course it also depends on what wireless keyboard you mean...?
For more on setting up an Apple wireless keyboard, see > Troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues
For more buying and/or using a third party wireless keyboard with a USB dongle, google the manufactures web site for compatibility and set-up information.

Late 2012 Mac mini upgrade ssd - also install parallels 8 and windows 7

Late 2012 Mac mini (16gb memory) SSD install - samsung 840 pro 512 gb. I am looking to install this new SSD as possibly a dual drive setup almong with the stock HDD 500gb in order to: make the system faster (with more storage etc.), possibly use the stock drive as a backup drive and I also want to run parallels 8 with windows 7.
I have ordered the data doubler kit from Owc and am wondering exactly how to setup properly. Can I simply install new drive in the upper bay (and move stock drive to lower bay)? Then migrate the data from the stock drive then after that's complete run the setup for parallels? I am also confused as far as using trim enabler or not? I was also wondering how much space/memory is recommended for windows 7 partition?
-Thanks in advance for your suggestions

NOTE: A small number of 2012 units were shipped with the drive mounted in the upper drive bay rather than the more typical lower bay shown in this video. If you have a 2012 or later model, you will want to determine the configuration of your Mac mini's drives prior to ordering. To do this, open Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app and click on the grey drive icon at the left-edge of the window. If you see "Lower" after the "Connection ID" at the bottom-left corner of the window, you may proceed using the standard installation instructions. If you see "Upper" then you have a special configuration which will need additional components, and you will need to also refer to the Addendum video.
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/DIYIMM11D2/
Some users have reported problems with an SSD being the boot drive in the upper bay. They have not reported problems with a HD boot from either bay To avoid the problem I would move the HD (if it is in the lower bay) to the upper bay and install the SSD in the lower bay.
I allocated 64 GB for Win 7 in Parallels abd 4 GB Of 16 installed). You can change them later after you install so it is not that importent what you specify initially.
