Can I use my iMac with a thunderbolt connection as an Display for my new Mac Mini with thunderbolt ??
Can I use my new Mac Mini with Leopard and thunderbolt in connection with my new iMac as a display ?
If it's a 27" iMac. I don't believe Target Display Mode is supported on the 21" model. But not with a Mac Mini running Leopard. It would need to be running Lion.

Can I use my iMac's display for my new Mac mini?
I have an Intel-Based iMac. I just purchased a mini with no monitor. Can I use the display on my iMac as the monitor?
Thanks Dave. But I'm still left with a problem: I don't have a stand-alone monitor! Now here's another posting I found:
+*Setting Up a Headless Mac Mini without a Monitor*+
+I only have laptops and no external monitors, so I needed a way to setup the Mini without a monitor. It was really easy, following these steps:+
+-connect a keyboard to the Mini+
+-start the Mini in FireWire Disk Mode+
+-connect the MacBook Pro to the Mini with FireWire cable+
+-restart the MBP using the Mini as the boot disk+
+-setup the Mini with network access and remote management (Sharing)+
+-reboot the MBP with its own disk+
+-disconnect the Mini and reboot+
+Voila! Now you should be able to use Screen Sharing over your network to remotely control your Mini-no keyboard or mouse required.+
Well, I do have a MacBook Pro. So can I set up my new mini like this? -

I just got a new Mac Mini with Lion - the Window tab at the top of the Safari Browser used to ahve a downloads folder in it along with Activity etc - but it is not there anymore. Any way to get it back or is there another location it sits in? I used it when I'd copy video info from the activity folder and then paste into the download folder and presto - I downloaded the video onto my computer. I really miss this capability!
Download activity is found by clicking on the gadget on the right:

Possibility to use new Mac mini with an USB-DAC?
Anybody knowing anything about the possibility to use the new Mac mini with an USB-DAC. My reason for the question is that I've heard that USB3 doesn't handle sound. I'm thinking about to buy a mac mini and use it as an HTPC and signalsource together with NAIM DAC-V1.
// Rode ormWhat I have heard that there are a few USB2 audio devices that
have had some issues with USB3, but USB3 itself is supposedly
backward compatible to USB2.
I would check with the makers of the DAC to see if there are any
USB3 issues. -
I recently purchased a new Mac Mini with Lion installed. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes. Now I can't get iTunes to sync iCal from my iPod Touch (3rd gen) to my Mini. Everything else syncs great, and iCal syncs from my Mini to my Touch. My Touch has the latest iOS installed. I have tried rebooting my Touch, removing the sync calendars option from iTunes>Info and checking it again after applying and closing iTunes, and restarting my Mini. Any help will be appreciated!

If this does not resolve the issue with the image you are asking about, would you mind providing some more information about the nature of the issue? Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

My new mac mini with fusion drive says I only have 36 GB of storage
I have a new mac mini with the 1 TB fusion drive. When I look in storage in the About this Mac area, I'm told I have 6.67 GB free out of 34.62 GB. An Apple rep said that this is a bug in the system and that I have the proper amount of storage available. Wondering if anyone else has had this issue.
I have just gotten of the phone with Apple Support here in Canada, more to let them know about this issue and yes, got the same message. The Fusion drive is very new technology and they have not heard much about this problem either. Their best advice was to wait untill the new iMacs role out with the same drive and see if the same problem is cropping up elseware. Maybe a solutiion will be forthcomming at that time?
Seriously, I must say..... very disappointing Apple! Steve Jobs is probably rolling over in his grave. Since when does Apple role out a product that does not work 100% out of the box? Since when does Apple adopt a "wait and see" approach to possible hardware glitches? Where is the quality control people!!
Even as a die-hard Macintosh fan, I must concede that Apple is loosing "street cred".
Well, I have my complaint logged and will be awaiting further updates regarding this issue, but I won't be holding my breath. -
I have a new mac mini with mt lion where is the os on this computer
I have a new mac mini with mt lion where is the os on this computer. It came with Mt Lion on it
You have a couple of options for booting OS X.
One is to use the OS X Recovery Disk Assistant to copy the Mountain Lion Recovery HD to a USB thumb drive. A 4GB thumb drive is sufficient as the Disk Assistant only needs 1GB.
A second option would be to use a cloning software like SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your existing Macintosh HD to an external USB drive. This would give you an external bootable copy of what you have now. -

Hi.
I have my new mac mini with Maverick that does not go to deep sleep even if i press power button or menu Apple-Sleep mode. He goes only to something like stand-by (power lid is on; after i turn off and then turn on the power he does not wake up just starting). I tried "sudo pmset -a hibernatemode X", tried mode 0,1,3, and even 25. nothing helps. he goes to deep sleep (when all data on HDD) only first time after i change hibernatemode couple times and force it to sleep. Today i even tried to force it to sleep (menu Apple-Sleep mode) and NOT turn off the power for whole night, in the morning he is in this "stand-by" mode anyway.
Could anyone help me please? i need it sleep but don't want to keep my power on for whole night.The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies. -
Where can I buy a 3.0 usb hub (2008 version 1 USB 3.0 specification) for my new Mac Mini?
I'd go for the > USB 3.0 4-Port Hub Belkin, mostly because Belkin has never let me down.
Also the > D-Link | DUB-1340 4-Port Superspeed USB 3 Hub, looks like a good choice.
For more, see > USB 3.0 Hubs - Google Search
