Can't connect G4 Mac Mini, to new 2009 Mac Mini via AirPort

Well, I bought a new Mac Mini and wanted my kids to use the old one for general web surfing. The first day I hooked it up with the AirPort to the new one and everything was great, we were Home Sharing iTunes, sharing files, etc. The next day when I powered up, I could not establish a connection. My settings seem the same, and I had them both connected (kids were browsing the web etc.) once, so I figure it can be done, but now I'm lost. Help!

I have given up and connected it via Ethernet...

  • Can't connect to remote mini

    I have a headless remote Mini in which I was hoping to reduce bandwidth consumption by following the knowledge base note HT3789 (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3789), "Mac OS X v10.6: Disabling mDNSResponder will disable DNS" which is a method to stop Bonjour service advertisement.
    Now I can't connect to the Mini via SSH, screen sharing, sftp, smtp or anything else.
    Any thoughts?

    I took it to the Genius Bar and after checking/confirming that the hard drive was ok they reinstalled the OS. All seems ok now. I was then able to shut off Bonjour advertising without creating any problems.
    I don't know what caused the Mini to become unbootable but I suspect when I rebooted it after the first attempt at shutting off advertising a critical boot file got damaged.
    Unfortunately, after all that hassle, I still have the original high-traffic problem that seems to be related to port 5353.

  • How can I connect my Mac Book Pro (year 2008) to the TV set through  HDMI? I've seen a DVI to HDMI iwire but I'm no sure that it is correct. Could anyone help me? Thank you very much.

    How can I connect my Mac Book Pro (year 2008) to the TV set through  HDMI? I've seen a DVI to HDMI iwire but I'm no sure that it is correct. Could anyone help me? Thank you very much.

    I do not know the iWire adapter, but I use an inexpensive ($3) DVI to HDMI adapter from Monoprice, along with a regular HDMI cable:
    http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10419&cs_id=1041902 &p_id=2029&seq=1&format=2
    Be aware that this will only transfer video. You Macbook Pro cannot combine audio through DVI to HDMI. You will need to listen to the audio through the Mac speakers, or attach speakers or a sound system to the Mac earphone jack, or determine if your TV has the ability to accept external sound from the Mac while showing video through HDMI (few can).

  • How can i connect my iphone to a new itunes library without losing my contacts and photos ?

    how can i connect my iphone to a new itunes library without losing my contacts and photos ?

    Is the new iTunes library on a different computer, or the same computer?
    Are you concerned about photos that you have taken with the iPhone in the Camera Roll, or photos you have synced to the iPhone from your computer?
    Contacts should be configured to sync with an app on your computer. You set this up in iTunes on the Info tab with the iPhone connected. You will not lose any contacts if the app on your computer has at least one contact.

  • Can I connect my iPad mini to a data projector using a lightning to 30-pin adapter connected to a 30-pin to VGA connector? Or will this only work with a lightning to VGA connector.

    Can I connect my iPad mini to a data projector using a lightning to 30-pin adapter connected to a 30-pin to VGA connector? Or will this only work with a lightning to VGA connector?

    The lightning to 30 pin adapter does not support video as per the item description in the Apple online store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD823ZM/A/lightning-to-30-pin-adapter
    This adapter lets you connect devices with a Lightning connector to many of your 30-pin accessories.* Supports analog audio output, USB audio, as well as syncing and charging. Video output not supported.
    You will need to the Lightning to VGA adapter directly
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD825ZM/A/lightning-to-vga-adapter?fnode=3a
    Or the Lightning Digital AV Adapter
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD826ZM/A/lightning-digital-av-adapter
    If the projector supports HDMI input.

    I can't connect my mac to my TV, I have the right cables and have done it right but I still doesn't get the macscreen on the Tv, what should I do?

    What are you getting on the TV?  Are you getting a completely blank screen, or are you getting a message similar to 'no input detected'?  Or are you seeing the spiral galaxy desktop?  If you go into System Preferences -> Displays then do you have an 'Arrangements' tab?

  • Can I connect my Mac (Mac OS X) with other machine (Windows OS) on same LAN using telnet in terminal? For example, telnet ip address of other machine

    Can I connect my Mac (Mac OS X) with other machine (Windows OS) on same LAN using telnet in terminal?
    For example, telnet <ip address of other machine>
    I m a networking student and I have learned to connect 2 machines on Red hat Linux OS on same Ethernet LAN which has same subnet mask. As Mac OS X is also a linux based OS I m trying to connect my Mac with my friends windows based machine using telnet <ip address of his machine>. However, I get a message "unable to connect to remote host".
    Can anyone please tell me is this the problem because of different OS or it is something different!
    Please reply...it will of great help..

    The machine you're trying to connect to needs a Telnet server running on it - telnetd listening on port 23 (usually).
    Incidentally, Mac OS X is not a Linux based OS, it is based on BSD Unix.

  • If I buy a Telstra Pre-Paid Wi-Fi 4G can I connect my Mac PC to it?

    If I buy a Telstra Pre-Paid Wi-Fi 4G can I connect my Mac PC to it?

    If your machine came with Lion preinstalled, you cannot use it on another machine. It is tied to the machine it came with. You are allowed to make a one time transfer of the OS when you sell the machine as long as it remains with that machine.
    If you purchase Lion from the app store, you are free to install it on as many Macs as you own - however, if/when you sell one of those Macs, you are required to uninstall Lion as the license is not transferable and you need to reinstall the original OS.
    You can read the SLA for yourself - the link to the downloads to all licenses is here:
