Hello!
I was wondering if I can use the Mac Mini as a NTP (Time) Server? If it does, what would I need to do?
Thank you in advance,

NTP Service Overview
What is NTP Service?
Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a network protocol used to synchronize the clocks of computers on your network to a time reference clock. NTP is used to ensure that all the computers on a network are reporting the same time.
Mac OS X Server can act not only as an NTP client, receiving authoritative time from
an Internet time server, but also as an authoritative time server for a network. Your local clients can query your server to set their clocks. It's advised that if you set your server to answer time queries, you should also set it to query an authoritative server on the Internet.

In this structure you can add key figure.
Maximum number of structure a query can have is two

With intel (2009) mac mini networked to macbook, can i use the mini to watch movie downloads on mh hdmi tv, with right cables of course

I have an Intel Mac mini. Main computer is Macbook on ethernet cable. Can I, with the right cables, use the mini to watch downloaded movies on my HDMI tv?

Use your MacBook Pro because it has FireWire. Use Target Disk Mode on your Mac mini so that the Mac mini will display on the MacBook Pro like a external HDD. You'll need a FireWire 400 cable. You can get one for around $10 if you don't have one. And I recommend getting that sooner than later because you can use that for many things if your computer has issues. Anyway, to put your Mac mini is target disk mode, connect the two computers with the wire. Turn on the Mac mini with the "T" key down after your MacBook Pro has started and ready. You'll see the FireWire logo on your Mac mini. And on your MacBook Pro, you'll see the Mac mini's HDD as an external HDD. Do whatever you need. When you finish, drag the Mac mini drive to the trash to eject it. Few seconds later, turn off your Mac mini to complete the whole process.

How can I use the free space of my Time Capsule as wireless HD ?

Hi,
Just set up a 2T Time Capsule and use it as Time Machine for my IMac and my MacBook.
How can I use the 1 Tb free space to ave data available from all my devices ?
Tks

Although it seems like you have a lot of extra space, Time Machine keeps versions, and if you want to take full advantage of the version history you should not worry about "extra space" because it will get used to provide safer coverage for the two Macs. If you had a Time Machine disk that fit your two Macs' hard drives perfectly, you would have no room for the version history, only room for the one most recent copy of each file. This can be a problem if you discover corruption that happened a while ago and cannot go back far enough in time to find an uncorrupted file.
Therefore it's better to not try and use up the "extra space" and let it be used for a longer, safer version history for your backups.
But like you, I want to use my Time Machine for additional network storage. So I plugged a cheap, compact hard drive into the Time Capsule USB port, and that shows up in File Sharing too. There is no need to buy anything fancier since it will be limited by both network speed and USB 2.0 anyway.

Can I use the same external hd for time machine and storage without partitioning it?

Hello,
I have been using an external hard drive for my Time Machine that was only used for this purpose.
I downloaded some files in it that I want to use, and I haven't backed up using Time Machine since.
Can I download the files on my MacBook from the HD without running into any problems, or is there anything else I should do?
I prefer not to partition the hd, since I will be deleting these files, or transferring them to a different HD, and using this HD only for Time Machine back ups, as I did previously.
** I am not sure if this changes anything, but I just updated from Snow Leopard to Lion.
Thank you so much

Thanks Kappy, I will do that.
I just really needed these files and had no other hard drive to store them.
Do you think that it will be okay just this one time if I download the files on my MacBook without compromising my backups?
I will transfer them to a new hard drive, and erase them from my Time Machine external hard drive.
For the time being it will be fine. There is always a chance of a disc crashing and therefore not advisable practice. Some here run seperate drives with Time Machine, Cloned backup and file backup. I have a portable drive I keep Time Machine backups and file backups on. I am running that at my own risk, but no problems over the last couple of years. Just make sure I get it to my normal TM Backup disk as soon as I get home. Backing up those other files will not compromise your Time Machine backups as you asked.

How can I use the same thread to display time in both JPanel & status bar

Hi everyone!
I'd like to ask for some assistance regarding the use of threads. I currently have an application that displays the current time, date & day on three separate JLabels on a JPanel by means of a thread class that I created and it's working fine.
I wonder how would I be able to use the same thread in displaying the current time, date & day in the status bar of my JFrame. I'd like to be able to display the date & time in the JPanel and JFrame synchronously. I am developing my application in Netbeans 4.1 so I was able to add a status bar in just a few clicks and codes.
I hope somebody would be able to help me on this one. A simple sample code would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

As you're using Swing, using threads directly just for this kind of purpose would be silly. You might as well use javax.swing.Timer, which has done a lot of the work for you already.
You would do it something like this...
    ActionListener timerUpdater = new ActionListener() {
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
            // DateFormat would be better, but this is an example.
            String timeString = new Date().toString();
            statusBar.setText(timeString);
            someOtherLabel.setText(timeString);
    new Timer(1000, timerUpdater).start();That code will update the time once a second. If you aren't going to display seconds, you might as well increase the delay.
The advantage of using a timer over using an explicit thread, is that multiple Swing timers will share a single thread. This way you don't blow out your thread count. :-)

Can I use the mini displayport to vga adaptor with the xbox vga cable to connect my xbox 360 to my macbook pro?

I'm trying to find a way to connect my xbox 360 to my mackbook pro. I've searched the internet and found that I can use a eagle eye device but, its to expensive. So after looking at the xbox website, I found a vga adaptor for my xbox and an vga to mini displayport and I was wondering if this would work.

The minidisplay port is output only. It's not going to show anything from your xbox.

I'm trying to hook up my Macbook Pro to my TV. I'm using the 'mini-display port to female HDMI" adapter. all i can see is my desktop background. no folders or icons and when i play a movie it goes blank.

Drag applications from your main desktop off the right side of the screen and they will appear on the TV. This is the extended desktop mode.

Can I use the same email address for facetime on 2 different devices (ipod touch and a mini)

can I use the same email address for facetime on 2 different devices (ipod touch and a mini)?
I've set up my daughters ipod touch last year all fine. She's had a mini this yr but when setting up facetime and entering her email address, which is used on the touch, I get an error message saying the address is already being used.
I thought you can use the same email address on multiple devices.

I have four different email addresses setup on my Mac, iPod Touch and my two iPads that I can select from and use as the email address with no problems at all.
Turn off FaceTime, and sign out of the Apple ID in the FaceTime settings, restart the iPad and try again. Turn FaceTime on again, sign in with the Apple ID and then try the email address again.

It shows up in the store as a universal app, so you should be ok to go.

I plan to purchase a Mac mini and then a new iPad. Can I use the iPad as a monitor and keyboard for the Mac mini, either through the USB connection or thru Wi-Fi?

I plan to purchase a Mac mini and then a new iPad. Can I use the iPad as a keyboard and screen for the Mac mini, using either the USB connector or Wi-Fi?

I'm sorry, I should have said thru Bluetooth, not Wi-Fi. I want to use the mini as a base station and the iPad like a laptop that I can sync when I'm home and carry with me when I travel. Is is possible to hook these 2 up - iPad/mini, through Bluetooth? I understand I need to use a regular monitor/keyboard/mouse on the initial install.

I am in the UK. Can I use the iPad Mini when on holiday in Sri Lanka?

Sure. Wifi is wifi the world over, so you can use any free wifi you can find at hotels, restaurants, and so forth.
If you have a wifi+cellular iPad mini, you can use a SIM card from a local carrier if there is one there that offers iPad data plans.
