Can't connect to Mac Mini(Intel-10.4.7) from G4(PPC-10.3.9)

Hi,
I can connect to the g4 from the Mini (via apple k and typing the IP) but not the other way around, which is what I need to do.
I do have windows sharing enabled on the G4.
Everything goes through a Netgear Router via ethernet.
Have been reading through others issues and wishing I hadn't run the updates this morning. It is brand new and conected ok last night.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry Guy's, Had forgotten to enable File Sharing on the Mini, Doh!!

Can't connect to Mac Mini (ML Server)

I have a Mid-2009 Mac mini that's running the latest Mac OS X 10.8 Server. It's connected to my TV via HDMI.
For a long time, I had no issues connecting to it via Screen Sharing, SSH or AFP but recently all three will mysteriously fail. I know the machine is working because I stream iTunes content to my Apple TV and it's hosting a couple of web sites that it serves up just fine. The only attached peripheral is a Drobo S (2nd Gen) attached via FW 800. Drobo Dashboard and the firmware are completely up-to-date.
When it stops working, I have no alternative but to A) wait until I get home and B) force the machine off and reboot it. After a reboot, Screen Sharing, AFP and SSH all work fine for a while. It seems to conveniently fail when I'm away and need to get to it.
Note that it fails on all three protocols from outside AND inside. So this isn't a network routing or port forwarding issue. I'm a Mac IT professional with 15 years under my belt, so I think I know what I'm doing in that regard. Like I said it's worked fine for years and it's only been lately that these failures have been happening.
I can't seem to identify any rhyme or reason for this. It's a fairly clean installation with almost no 3rd party software installed on it.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

"Screen Sharing is currently being controlled by the Remote Management Service"
I've been fidgeting between the Server.app server Settings tab and the Screen Sharing checkbox in System Preferences Sharing pane all day.
I had tried "Share Screen" via Finder. After I tried "Share Screen" via Server.app from my client computer I noticed the above warning message when Screen Sharing in the server's System Preference Sharing pane was highlighted. I'm not sure which is cause or effect.
Everything is checked on the server "Settings" tab in Server.app on the server. Only "FIle Sharing," "Remote Login" and "Remote Management" are checked on the Sharing pane in System Preferences on the server.
Everything is checked on the server "Settings" tab in Server.app on the client. In this case, "Allow remote administration using Server" is checked and grayed out. "Screen Sharing" is checked on the Sharing pane in System Preferences on the client. (It may not have anything to do with a successful screen share connection, but it is on.)
Everything is now working better than expected. Thanks to you both for your help!

Can't Connect to Mac Mini Server 10.8

I want to use Screen Sharing to run a headless Mac Mini Server (late 2012) running Server.app under Mountain Lion.
From my Mac Mini I can connect to my iMac on the same LAN and use Screen Sharing, but I can't do the opposite, which is what I need to do. This is very frustrating because the support for this key feature is just plain awful.
Yes, screen sharing is checked under File Sharing preferences on the Mac Mini Server. And yes, both the display and the computer are set to never sleep on the Mac Mini Server.
What must I do to connect to my Mac Mini Server from my iMac so I can run the Mac Mini Server headless?
Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.

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 mac mini leopard shares or screen share

i'm having problem connecting to a mac mini that is on my network (running leopard 10.5.8) and is wired to the network via an AEBS.
previously when my MBP was also running 10.5.8 i had no problems using screen sharing and connecting to 2 shares on it using "afp://10.x.x.x/sharename", or browsing to them via finder.
i did a clean install of SL on the MBP and now even though the mac mini shows up in finder, when i select it it just sits there trying to connect and eventually the beach ball appears and fails saying it can't connect to it.
when i try to connect to the shares using command-K, again it won't connect to the shares.
if i try to connect to them using the samba share that is also configured on the mac min then is does connect to them.
i can ping the mac mini using network utility.
any ideas what the problem is? everything worked fine before i wiped and installed SL.

HI,
Make sure screen sharing is turned on and you have set up sharing permissions on the computer whose screen you want to share.
To set up screen sharing:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Sharing.
Select the Screen Sharing checkbox.
To specify who can share your screen, select one of the following:
All users: Select this if you want to allow any user with a user account on your computer to share your screen.
Only these users: Select this if you want to restrict screen sharing to specific users.
Click Add + at the bottom of the Users list and select a user from Users & Groups (accounts you have set up in Accounts preferences), Network Users (users on your network), or your Address Book. Or click New Person and enter a name and password to create a sharing account. Then select that user from the list and click Select.
Click Computer Settings and set the following options:
Anyone may request permission to control screen: Select this to allow anyone on your network to request to share your screen.
VNC viewers may control screen with password: Select this and enter a password that VNC viewer applications can enter in order to control your screen.
It’s recommended that you not set a password if you only share this computer’s screen using the built-in screen sharing viewer in Mac OS X.

Can I connect my Mac Mini to my Wii?

I have soem wonderful accounting software that I really wanna get onto my Mac Mini and I was wondering if I need to buy an external CD/DVD drive or if there is a way to connect my Wii to my Mac and use the drive on it to install the software??
Thanks Everyone!

You may also wish to see if the owner of the iMac 24" has the Apple Hardware Test
that accompanied the computer when new, and the other OS X install-restore discs
since the unit still has to function as a computer before it can recycle its screen as
a second display for another Mac. It may be well to have a diagnostic performed at
an Apple Store with Genius bar, or other authorized Apple service provider before
buying it since some models of 24" had graphic issues, or developed them.
To be sure a used computer is working correctly before taking ownership is always
a good idea, especially when buying one from a non-Apple reseller where it may
not have been tested and checked for issues. You should be able to sit down at
the running computer and check it out, too, or bring along a knowledgable friend
to have them inspect and test it. And a seller should not mind if you insist on this.
And if you bought the iMac 24" already and it has no original install-restore disc kit
to contact Apple care or sales support and order a replacement original grey DVD
kit for that model (with hardware test and original applications, OS X) that may be
a wise idea; however it won't help in diagnostic testing beyond a limited method.
Good luck & happy computing!

Can't connect to Mac Mini Server

I am setting up a new Mac Mini Server for the first time and cannot connect to it from the local network. The Mini is connected to the local network and the internet via an Airport Extreme Base Station. The server appears in the Finder of my MacBook Pro under "Shared" but will not connect. I was able to connect prior to turning on some services in Server Admin (including enabling the Firewall). I allowed the server to control the Base Station upon initial setup but was not sure if it configures and turns on it's firewall services automatically. Should I have Firewall enabled in Server Admin?

Blankfer,
Did you re-enable Firewall in Server Admin and then open the screen sharing ports?
I'm still confused as to whether the Firewall in Sever Admin is only supposed to be used when the sever is acting as an internet gateway. I was under the impression that the Mini was controlling my Airport Extreme's firewall services for me in the background. After my initial configuration through Setup Assistant (including selecting the option to have the server control my Airport) the Firewall in Server Admin was not enabled. Does Firewall being disabled in Sever Admin mean I have no firewall up at all? ...I plan to have it running web and mail services so I need to make sure it's secure.
-Thanks

Lenovo monitor connected to Mac mini

I have a Lenovo LI2223s monitor connected to Mac mini - and works fine when from full start up. But when has been in 'sleep' mode overnight, does not display any longer upon wake-up. Is there something I can do to correct this problem? (waking the monitor does bring up a very very dim light there somewhere - but general appearance of monitor is blank - mini is no longer sleeping)

I want to Connect my Mac Mini as a Slave to a Mac pro Server while at the same time using the Mac mini's thunderbolt ports peripherals ( ie monitor, Sound Card, Hard drives) Creating a poor man's new mac Pro. Can this be Done?

I want to Connect my Mac Mini as a Slave to a Mac pro Server while at the same time using the Mac mini's thunderbolt ports peripherals ( ie monitor, Sound Card, Hard drives) Creating a poor man's new mac Pro. Can this be Done?

Well, I really would love the new unreleased mac pro however , I'm not sure of the expected cost , Everyone speculates from $3,000 to $8,000, in which I may have to wait a while to purchase.
To the point .... I want fully functional thunderbolt ports to be on the current mac pro's .... wonder if anyone had workarounds yet?... or could I chain the the current mac pro to a mac mini to make that happen?

Can you mirror a Mac Mini to an AppleTV 3 when the mac mini is not connected to a display?

Hello, I have an AppleTV 3 connected to my television and a late 2012 Mac Mini that is not connected to a display/monitor/tv, but I use it as my iTunes server to stream media to the appletv . However, I was hoping I could mirror the Mac Mini to the AppleTV in order to see Safari and regular Hulu on the television, but when I try, the picture is scrambled and crashes the mac mini. I turn on airplay mirroring using the Rowmote application on my iphone since I cannot see what the mac mini is displaying.
Additionally, I tried connecting the mac mini to a 2nd hdmi port in the television, while the appletv is connected to the 1st hdmi port, but the image was also scrambled with mirroring turned on. My television also has a VGA port that can connect to the Mac Mini, but I figure the same problem will occur and have not bought the DVI to VGA cords.
Is there a way to mirror a mac mini to an appletv without the mac mini connected to a separate display and if so, what am I doing wrong?
Thank you for the responses, I appreciate any help.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer).
On the basis of the specifications you have given for your set up, mirroring should work.

How can I control a mac mini connected to a benchmark dac 2 for the purpose of listening to 24/192 audio files?

How can I control a mac mini connected by USB to a Benchmark DAC 2 for the purpose of listening to 24/192 music downloads?

Hello,
About the dac 1, but may apply to the dac 2 as well in some ways...
Here are more details:
1) The current version of iTunes (7.5) for OSX is very broken. Some older versions work properly, but 7.5 introduces truncation and DSP artifacts that can measure as high as –80dBFS. These levels are easily audible. There is no system configuration that will permit transparent playback from 44.1kHz sources with iTunes 7.5. Curiously, the only format that works properly in 7.5 is 24-bit/96kHz. This iTunes problem has nothing to do with USB communications, as the results are the same when using the built-in optical port on our PowerBooks. As a workaround, we suggest using the free VLC for Mac player. VLC works perfectly with all formats (provided OSX is set to match the sample rate of the files being played). We highly recommend the VLC player for OSX users, and strongly advise against using iTunes. We will attempt to identify which versions of iTunes work and which ones don't. But beware, iTunes updates itself without user intervention. One of our test computers "upgraded" itself to the dysfunctional iTunes 7.5.
2) OSX still does not have the ability to follow sample-rate changes. We consider this a nuisance for most users and a show-stopper for users who want to play a mixed list of 44.1kHz and 96kHz material. An OSX sample-rate mismatch will invoke the very-poor-quality sample-rate conversion that is built into OSX. The iTunes 7.5 bug seems to be locking on this sample-rate conversion at all sample rates other than 96kHz. Until this is fixed, OSX is not the operating system of choice for audio playback.

Can I use a Mac mini with a VGA monitor?

The Mac mini web page lists an Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter as an accessory, but the Mac mini doesn't appear to have a Mini DisplayPort.
The Mac mini also has an HDMI to DVI Adapter included, but would this allow a VGA monitor to be connected via an additional DVI to VGA cable? ie. can the HDMI port provide an analogue signal that a VGA monitor can receive?

Some Mac Minis do have mini-DisplayPorts. In these two it is between the HDMI and the USB ports:
(yes Thunderbolt should accept mini-Displayport).
In this one it is between the Mini-DVI and the USB ports:
Only the oldest Intel models would you need a different adapter to VGA
Those you would need a DVI to VGA adapter from Apple such as this one. Note, DVI to VGA is converting digital to analog, and not very useful, unless your TV has neither DVI nor HDMI. DVI is much better converted up to HDMI. And the audio would have to come in separately. So depending on your display model and make, you may be asking for the wrong adapter. VGA is fine if all you are going to do is view DVDs on an old TV. But if you want the ability to use the Dock, menubar, etc..., it is good to have a 1080p TV with built-in HDMI or better.
