Connecting two Mac Minis using wifi

My actual set up:
Bedroom - Macmini (2007) linked to a dsl modem via an ethernet cable. A Samsung display, a LaCie 2tb drive, are also connected to it.
In a very near future:
LivingRoom - Macmini (2011, to be delivered in a couple of days... hopefully) will have access to internet via wifi. A 55" TV, a LaCie Minimus 2tb drive (a clone of the other one in the bedroom) and a DAC will be connected to the new mini.
My question:
How can I connect the two minis together using wifi so that I can have easy acces to all the files in the drive connected to the Mac mini in the other room?
I have looked at the "File sharing preferences" in the system preferences but I am not that sure how to do it.
A little guidance would be greatly appreciated!

"File sharing preferences" is indeed how to do it.  Connect both minis to your router (one by ethernet cable, one by wifi, it doesn't matter.)
Then turn on "File Sharing" in Sharing Prefs on both minis.  Also, give them both meaningful, different names under "Computer Name".
Then, when you open a finder window on one mini, the other one should appear under "Shared", like this:

  • Connecting two Mac minis and using one monitor

    I am thinking about getting two Mac minis to run concurrently, accessing both on the same Thunderbolt Display (also to be acquired) using screen sharing and connecting the two Macs via firewire (or thunderbolt).
    I have certain programs I need to run in Windows (Bloomberg terminal and MS Excel in Windows version) but don't want to run them in parallel on one computer as (in my experience) the performance is very slow.
    By running two computers at the same time, I'm hoping that can avoid the entire system griding to a halt. I also think it will allow me to upgrade more cheaply as the Mac mini is improved over time.
    Is this a completely daft idea? Would I be better off with a new iMac or a refurbish Mac Pro?
    Any feedback is welcome, even of the abusive variety.

  • My new iPad 32G will not connect to my mac Mini using WiFi. Any suggestions for a solution?

    Happy New Year,
    I am attempting to get Facetime on my new Mac Mini to connect to Facetime on my new iPad 32 G through my WiFi router. It rings on the iPad but after clicking on Accept, all it does is try to connect with no success. I have tried to reverse the order of the connection (iPad to the Mac Mini) but no success. The problem seems to be with the Mac Mini as I have been able to connect my iPad Facetime to my local authorized Apple dealer Facetime software both ways (i.e.I have connected with them and they have been able to connect with me.) Has anyone got any suggestions to resolve my problem?

  • Connecting two Mac minis...

    I'm trying to send a text file through Airport to another Mac mini. I think Personal File Sharing would allow me to put files I want to transfer in my Public folder, then retrieve them on the other Mac mini, but when I tried to do this, I had some problems...
    I first enabled Personal File Sharing in System Preferences, then went to the other Mac mini and went to the address I was given in Sarfari(it was afp://(some numbers)). Then a dialog box popped up and said Connect to the file server "My Mac Mini", then had two buttons for either Guest or Registered User.
    It was preset on Registered User, but was asking for a name and password which I'm not sure what password they want. Because I didn't know the password for a Registered User, I tried to access as a guest. I selected the button by Guest and pushed Connect. Another dialog window came up and asked me which volumes to mount with a list of computers(mine was the only one on there). I'm new to Macs and I don't know what mounting the volume would do. I don't need a permanent icon on the other Mac mini's desktop, I just want to access files from both computers without having to switch between computers.
    Could someone please explain to me what mounting a volume does, and maybe the registered user option when you are "logging into" the computer?
    Thanks!

    OK - Let's start with some basics:
    * If all you want is to drop files onto a remote computer - it's simplest to use the Drop Box - that way you can choose guest and forget about passwords and user names.
    If you need to access either the whole folder of a remote user (Their photos/documents/everything in their "Home" directory (Go -> Home on finder will take you to your local home folder) - then you need to know the short user name and password on the remote computer you want to connect to.
    You can see the short name and change the password if needed using the Accounts prefernce pane.
    All mounting a volume does is the user/password and create a point on your computer where the files "show up" - once that is done - you can do anything you want as if the files were really on your hard disk - except the commands to write a file, copy, delete or move the file - will go through the network if the file really is on the other computer.

    axis2012 - best to read through this article that explains most of what you ask. Please post if a specific part needs elaboration or if you get confused about something. (skip anything about AppleTalk - that is for older pre-OS X computers - best to use the newer version if everyone is on X)
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106461
    the short answer is you need to enable Personal File Sharing on each computer that will accept another to see the files that are local to that computer. Then you have to choose to either share a user/password to mount a share - or restrict operations to one way dropping (Into the drop box) - with no way to look at files that are not in the public folder.

  • Connecting Two Mac minis to my network...

    I finally decided to take the PC off-line for good. I purchased another Mac mini, so I'll be having both of those connected to my AirPort network.
    I also have SharePoints installed on my Mini, and will install it on my new mac when it gets here.
    My question. I know you can't share files over the network within each computer's home folder. I was to believe that with SharePoints I can share the files within home folders of each computer.
    Basically, I want to be able to share the contents of the Documents, Pictures, and Music folders for each computer. All my music files, for instance, will be stored on one mini, and I'd like to be able to have access to those folders when I'm on my other mini, and vice versa.
    As long as I can drag and drop files from the home folder on each computer, I will be happy.
    Apple should send me a Christmas gift. Two 40GB iPods, two minis, one 20" ACD, AEBS, mighty mice, wireless keyboards... the list goes on. I've spent much more than I ever imagined making the "switch," but it was well worth it.
    When the new Intel Macs come out, I'll drop one of these mini's downstairs, and extend my network with an AirPort Express. A mac in every room, I say!
    Bryan

    Thanks Henry. Great! That is what I wanted to hear.
    ## EDIT ##
    I just went to the Sharepoints site, and read this, which I don't think I like...
    "*Caution: SharePoints only modifies the permissions on the directory that is shared. All directories residing within the shared directory retain their original permissions.*"
    If this means what I think it does, it means that if I share my Home>Music folder, I do not have access to other folders within Music, like all the artists folders.
    If all those other folders within Music keep their original permissions, is it true I won't be able to access them, but just the parent folder?
    I'd like to have access to any file on either machine, whithout having to set 1000 sharepoints:(

  • How do i connect my mac mini to a kvm switch using the hdmi to dvi adapter?

    I want to connect my Mac Mini using the HDMI to DVI adapter to a KVM switch cable. I have an Iogear KVM switch. The cable from the KVM switch has a male VGA end connection. I have been trying to determine the right adapter to connect the female DVI connection to the male VGA connector. I will be using the Mac mini and a PC running through the KVM switch. This is doable as the iogear switch is compatible with both a PC and a Mac. Any ideas out there? Thank you.

    You would need to get  HDMI or DVI to VGA CONVERTER, not a simple adopter. The converter requires USP connection for power. HDMI is only digital while VGA is analogue.

    If your MIni has a mini displayport or Thunderbolt port yu can get a les expensive mini displayport to VGA afopter.

  • 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?

  • What do I need to connect my Mac Mini to a TV using the S-video jack?

    Radio Shack didn't have anything in the store and suggested
    that what I needed (something with an S-video connector
    at the adapter end and a co-ax/F-connector at the TV end)
    would cost $100.
    What should I be looking for? I'd like the option to connect
    my Mac Mini to a TV (with enough resolution to read text,
    which isn't the case with a video-RCA cable), especially in
    a hotel room (using the Mac Mini as a laptop!).

    The DVI to video adapter

    will give best results using the S-Video. Next best is composite video. If your TV set does not have either of these, you will need a RF modulator to connect to the TV antenna connector. For best results get a modulator that takes S-video. It should cost a lot less than $100.00 Radio Shack has one for $25

    No matter what connection you use, a standard TV will not give you better than 640 x 480 resolution, so it will always be hard to read small text.

  • TC in combination with mac mini and WIFI

    Hello,
    I am living in an apparment with provided internet - it used to be a cable modem. Now cable modem was deactivated by the owner and free WIFI was established in our house (but limited to three devices)
    I connected my mac mini to the existing WIFI - no prob! Is is possible to create another WIFI with TC using cable connection between mach mini and TC?
    If yes, please let me know how to set up the mac and TC.
    Thanks!

    What is this wifi for?
    I have more than three devices which need WIFI connectio, unfortunatel!
    If it is just to connect to the TC it is possible.. if you want to connect to the TC from the mini that is fine.. you do not need wifi for this.. just ethernet to the TC is fine.. so I just don't know what the wifi from the TC is for and if it requires internet access.
    If you want internet access via the Mac, you can setup Internet Connection Sharing..
    See OS X Mavericks: Share your Internet connection
    It is a really poor setup though.. and tends to be unreliable, slow and means anytime the mini is off no internet to the other clients.
    There are better ways to do things.
    Put any wireless bridge, in front of the TC and use that to provide a wired connection. Apple Express can do this.. none of the other devices can. but wireless bridges are not hard to find and you can get cheaper ones than the apple.
    This is what I tried, thanks to your recommondation! I connected the AirportExpress with the given WIFI and I've connected it to the TC via LAN cable, the TC now provides my own WIFI to all devices. But the mac mini, as well connected by cable to the TC does not have Internet access. To log on to the given WIFI I have to use a web-login (like in a hotel) but I have the impression that it doesn't work because of the hardware I have now connected. If you have any suggestions to this I would really appreciate it!
    You will however not get out of the problem without creating more problems.. Internet access will be slowed and you will have double NAT issues.
    I set the TC to bridge, no Double-NAT anymore.
    Thanks for now, 75% achieved!

  • Two Mac Minis one with Airport and one without..and an Airport extreme

    Please advise..I have two Mac Minis. One is older with no Airport card and one is newer and came with an air port inside. I also have an Airport Extreme and A Speedstream 5100 Ethernet ADSL modem. Here's the deal: I connected the old MacMini with no airport to the AirPort Exreme via LAN port. I also connected the Speedstream 5100 modem via ethernet cable to Airport Exreme. I can get onto the internet on the old Mac Mini with this set up. However, I cannot get the new Mac Mini's Air Port to work or "see" the network. Not sure what to do next...

    I also connected the Speedstream 5100 modem via ethernet cable to Airport Exreme.
    Just to double-check. Do you have the Speedstream connected to the WAN (circle-of-dots) port on the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn)?
    However, I cannot get the new Mac Mini's Air Port to work or "see" the network.
    Which radio mode to you have the AEBSn configured for? The default is "802.11n (b/g compatible)". Also, which wireless encryption are you using? Do you have the AEBSn configured to not broadcast its Network Name (SSID)? ... or using MAC filtering?

  • How can i control my new mac mini using my new macbook air? Thanks

    Hi, I would like to control and even file share my macmini using my macbook air... the mac mini is plugged into the family 50inch plasma... so getting access to it is not always easy! I'd like to play itunes, films, file share, just about do everything from the macbook air as if I was on and in front of the macmini... i'm hoping to do this from any country using wifi!
    I've looked at screens - vnc client, but can;t find anywhere where it says I should download the app... is there a master to download to the mac mini, then waht do i download to the macbook air to enjoy control... also am i expected to download twice and pay twice?
    I'm very new to the mac world... loving it, but lots to learn! Appreciate your help, thank you
    Chris
    PS... bonus if I can also control the mac mini using my iphone4 and ipad 2 (yup, my bank balance took a major hit.... apple certainly got me hooked!)

    Sceen sharing is built into the OS  go to your help in the finder and type in "screen sharing"
    To set up screen sharing: (on the mini)
    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.

  • Need to boot broken Mac-Mini using retail Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD

    Hi,
    In Summary:
    ==========
    I have Mac Mini (late 2009) which does not boot anymore and I need to install Snow Leopard using retail DVD (version 10.6). The OS/installer from the DVD does not seem to boot either. I always very much appreciate the efforts of true geeks. So please, any casual beginner, please do not demoralize with something like "cannot be done" etc.
    The complete story:
    ==================
    The start of the problem:
    1. All of a sudden, one fine day, on start up, my Mac Mini strated to shut itself down without no apparent reason to me. When trying to boot, it would show a progress bar for about 5 minutes - I am assuming that was disk-consistency check being performed. My best guess is that right after the use of Carbon-Copy Cloner (but I am not 100% sure) it all strated to happen.
    2. Performed Mac's Disk-Util check and [Verify Volume] used to display "invalid directory item count, should be 31 instead of 29". Surface scan said disk hardware is 100% fine. Volume Repair never worked, since OS X was installed on the primary disk. I lost the DVDs that came with this Mac Mini, so the option to boot from that DVD and launch Disk Util etc. was not possible.
    TechTool Pro - No Help:
    3. Started googling and had to choose between [TechTool Pro] and [Disk Warrior], opted for TechTool Pro. Tried its bootable DVD only to learn that TechTool Pro cannot fix it. Again, it's surface scan suggested disk hardware is 100% fine. Sent the details to TechTool Pro support team, they couldn't help either after a couple of e-mails+data exchange. (How do I claim my lost money with TechTool Pro - suggestions appreciated as well).
    Googling / Mac Forums:
    4. Started looking into forums, learnt that someone had successfully repaired this problem using Ubuntu 11.04 install DVD (i.e., without installing the Ubuntu, but just using its 'try from DVD' feature). I had that handy, but forgot to disable HFS+ journaling before attempting to fix the problem. Anyway, attempting volume repair that way couldn't fix the problem as well. However this step took away my ability to boot from Mac.
    5. However using Ubuntu's bootable disk, I could access Mac-HDDs contents - and was able to successfully back-up *all* my important data.
    6. Googled and learnt that just attempting to boot using Ubuntu DVD can take away ability to boot using Mac bootable media - possibly due to EFI internals. Suspecting EFI is now corrupt, I tried other 'hacks' like:
      6.1 eEFIt Boot Disk - which does not work at all,
      6.2 Empire EFI w/ Chameleon - not sure how to proceed with options presented - trying either does not work,
      6.3 Super GRUB2 - boots fine, but attempting to boot from Mac-HDD fails after a couple of seconds,
      6.4 Boot-132 - boots fine, prompt asks for input, but then I cannot eject/replace the DVD due to Mac-Mini (lack of) design,
      6.5 Ubuntu 11.04 / 11.10 - still boots fine - just that I cannot go into Mac-OS-X from here,
      6.6 TechTool Pro bootable DVD - which used to boot fine earlier stopped to boot.
    As you can see, none worked successfully. So I didn't yet try other popular rescue media - as I suspect that is not the direction I need to go into.
    >> Looks like most of my problems are due to the fact that I have Mac-Mini which does not allow eject/replace of DVD from command prompt / out side of Mac-OS-X.
    7. Tried emptying EFI partition, playing with EFI/Mac-OS partitions boot flags, Zapping the PRAM, nothing still allows me to boot either from Mac-HDD or any Mac-Bootable-DVD.
    Current State:
    8. Now while boot time, Mac displays a gray screen for a few seconds, and then a blinking prompt on black background. That's it!
    Snow Leopard 10.6 Retail Install DVD:
    9. Went to Mac store and bought this DVD only to witness that I can't boot from it as well. (This is a huge shocker, how is Apple able to sell these DVDs if these don't work on genuine MacMini itself. After all we are able to boot from and install Windows/Linux on a variety of Machines).
    I am hoping for a very small step/fix that I am missing, since I can still see and access all Mac-HDD contents after booting from Ubuntu bootable DVD. However I am prepared for a good amount of exercise as well - assuming someone posts a valid/verified fix.
    Things available right now:
    ==========================
    A. Genuine Mac-Mini (Late 2009) who lost it's ability to boot either from its HDD or Mac-bootable DVDs (TechTools Pro, Mac OS X retail DVD)
    B. Mac OS X 10.6 Retail DVD
    C. NOT AVAILABLE - DVD that came with this Mac-Mini
    D. Variety of rescue DVDs, listed in section 6 above
    E. Another machine/PC with Ubuntu 11.04 - giving me ability to access internet
    Thanks for reading.

    I had a similar discussion recently with another user.
    Your Mac mini (late 2009) originally came with Mac OS X 10.6.2 build 10A432 or build 10C2234 see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1159 it would have come with an original install disc specific to your model of Mac which you could use to run Disk Utility from or to do a complete reinstall.
    The retail boxed copy of Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) was originally intended for older Macs which had previously come with Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.4. It would have on it a version of Mac OS X 10.6 or 10.6.1 which would be able to boot these older Macs, but had no need to boot newer Macs which were released after the launch of Mac OS X 10.6 since all those newer Macs already shipped with their own discs.
    So it is normal that the retail boxed Snow Leopard installer does not work on your model Mac mini. You should be using the one that shipped with your Mac mini instead. I am guessing you have lost it.
    Assuming you have lost the Mac mini original disc, I can suggest the following options to try and workaround this.
    If you have another Mac, an older Mac, one that will be bootable using the retail Snow Leopard install disc you have, you could do either of the following.
    Connect an empty external GUID partitioned hard disk to this other Mac
    Boot from the retail Snow Leopard installer
    Install on to the external disk
    Once the install is complete, update it using the combo update not the one via Software Update to Mac OS X 10.6.8. This will add all the newer drivers needed to allow it to work on your newer Mac mini. You can download this combo update from here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    You can now disconnect the external drive and connect it to your Mac mini and boot from it by holding down the Option key when you turn the Mac mini on
    or a similar process if you want to wipe the Mac mini and reinstall directly on to it
    Boot the Mac mini in FireWire Target Disk Mode (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661 )
    Connect the Mac mini as an external hard disk to the other older Mac
    Boot from the retail Snow Leopard installer
    Install on to the external disk
    Once the install is complete, update it using the combo update not the one via Software Update to Mac OS X 10.6.8. This will add all the newer drivers needed to allow it to work on your newer Mac mini. You can download this combo update from here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    You can now disconnect the Mac mini and boot from it as normal
    Note: While the Mac mini is connected in FireWire Target Disk mode to the second Mac, you could backup (if you don't already have a backup) any files you need to retrieve.
    If you don't have a suitable second Mac you may have to either borrow someone else's, or get the help of an Apple Store if one is in your area.
