Do I have Rosetta on my new Mac Mini?

I just purchased a new 1.83GHz Intel mini. The salesman in the Apple store said the mini no longer has Rosetta. There are several things which confuse me.
There are a number of posts about Intel minis, running OS 10.4.X, which suggest that they have Rosetta. How come?
If I don't have Rosetta, then why does Appleworks 6, imported from my G3 PB, running OS9.2, run on the mini (which it does)? Also, how would Quicken 2007, not Intel native, (which I am thinking of purchasing) run on my Intel mini?
Is Rosetta part of OSX or is it a firmware emulator?
Thanks for any help.
Owen

Not that I want to put you off using a piece of software you are used to and probably like pretty well (I'm a bit of an Appleworks fan), and I certainly don't want to suggest you pay for MS Office unless you have very good reason to need it, but there really is a great deal of difference in performance between non-native software such as Appleworks, when running on an Intel mini, and native (Intel) software. To give you an idea of what that's like, there is a free open source bundle of software called Neo Office which is MS Office compatible and Intel-native, and can be downloaded from http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/en/download.php where there is a link specifically for the Intel version.
Just in case you want to experience the difference!

I have Aperture 2 in CD and want to install it in new mac mini

Hi,
I have Aperture 2 in a CD which I installed in my old "white" mac book about 6 yeas ago.
I have now bought a new mac mini and I want to install Aperture again. Of course the new mac mini does not have a CD port.
Question is: how can I download Aperture 2 from the Store so that I enter the software serial number and buy the required upgrades on top of it.
thanks
ratoslibres

If it is new and is running Yosemite you cant run Aperture 2, it is not compatible and ill not run.
In addition Aperture 2 is not available anywhere as a download. If you what to run Aperture you will need to purchase Aperture 3 from the Mac App Store.
regards

Wireless apple keyboard not pairing at set up of new mac mini

i have just purchased a new mac mini and wireless keyboard and trackpad. i am trying to setup my mac mini but the keyboard does not pair. i have tried replacing the batteries. but as i am new to macs i dont have much of a clue. the trackpad connects fine.

I had this same issue when I purchased my Mini. Unfortunately, the initial setup of your wireless keyboard requires a wired keyboard. I don't recall where I found this information, but it may have been in the manual for the Mac wireless keyboard. I purchased a Mac wired keyboard from Fry's Electronics to log in and sync the wireless keyboard and returned the wired keyboard later that day.

Connecting new mac mini to internet

I have just ordered a new mac mini to run alongside my PC which is connected to broadband at the moment. Do i need an external modem to connect my new mac to broadband?

You don't provide any information about how your other computer is connected to broadband. The connection could be via either cable or DSL, and depending on the type of "Modem", there may be either more than one ethernet outlet, or some "Modems" function as wireless routers as well. Broadband doesn't really need to be "MOdulated or DEModulated (hence the name for Modems) it is essentially digital signal to begin with, but the old term is still applied to the appliance that hooks to the cable. If you do not have a cable between the computer and the Modem, it is a sure sign that it has wireless router capabilities. If it does have a cable it still may have wireless capabilities, but you would have to check the literature that came with it. Some ISP's offer wireless capability as a "perk" to get you to sign up, but if you have just one computer they sometimes perform the easiest installation - which is an ethernet connection (Cable) between the Modem and the computer.

I have a new Mac mini and are using an Acer monitor. Unfortunately, the Acer will not show any image on a startup from cold. It does however work completely correctly when restarting from 'sleep' condition. Can anyone help? Thanks in anticipation.

I have a new Mac mini- changed from Windows XP. I have a peculiar problem. I use an Acer monitorwith the Mac which works fine when the Mac is 'un-sleeped'. But, if I have shutdown the Mac the Acer does not recognisethe start up - at least it shows nothing on screen. When I have shut down - nowknowing the problem, I use an old Samsung monitor to cope with the start up -it does so fine - and then put the Mac to 'sleep', then change monitors andrestart the Mac - the Acer is now fine. I am using the same cables for theSamsung and the Acer. The Acer had no problems with my old Windows system -from sleep or shut down. I really do not think there is anything wrong with theAcer - could it be some sort of recognition problem? Please can anyone assist.Donald Picton

I posted the same question a day ago with no response. I'm using an Acer x193w. You actually don't have to switch monitors to get it to work. Just make sure you turn off the monitor after shutting down the Mac mini (actually push the power button on the monitor, not just let it go to sleep). If you turn on the monitor (push the power button on the monitor), then power up the Mac mini, the monitor is recognized. The issue didnt exist with Snow Leopard for me. It only started after I started using Lion. Hope this issue gets fixed In a future OS update.

I have a new Mac Mini, and I want to send raw video...

I have a new Mac Mini (Lion), and I want to send raw video to the Internet, using Ustream, Skype or other services. I don't need cameras, microphones, or other periphrals. My video consists of 1 volt composite (from a video switcher), and the audio is full stereo at 600 ohm line level on each channel. What do I need?
I have a video capture card on my Windows machine; but the results have been crappy at best. And the so-called "Geek Squad" at Best Buy (where I bought the Mac Mini) have been less than helpfull. Further, the on-line Apple Store shows nothing. Maybe someone here has an idea.

You are going to need a video capture device of some sort and I believe the following will be suitable.

I have a new MAC MINI and I want to install a second monitor. I have one connected to the HDMI and it works. I can't get a signal to the other one. It is connected from the thunderbolt to its HDMI port. How can I make it work?

Could be a bad cable or bad Thunderbolt port.
You have 90 days of free telephone support on a new device. You can call them at 1-800-MY-APPLE. Have your Mini's serial number handy
You can also make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I have a new Mac Mini and a 7 year old Mac monitor. The connectors don't match. What to do?

I have a new Mac Mini and a 7 year old Mac monitor. The connectors dont match. What to do?

I suspect the monitor has an ADC connector

If so you need one of these:

Otherwise what connector is on the monitor?

I'm new to Mac. I have an iPhone and a Mac Mini. My original iTunes was on a Windows computer that crashed. So, all of my iTunes Music and Movies are gone. How do I get the movies and music from my iPhone to the new Mac Mini?

I'm new to Mac. I have an iPhone and a Mac Mini. My original iTunes was on a Windows computer that crashed. So, all of my iTunes Music and Movies are gone. How do I get the movies and music from my iPhone to the new Mac Mini?

If you still have the crashed Win computer, you may be able to recover your music and movies from the hard drive. If you have a friend with a hard drive USB connection kit and a PC, they should be able to help. Otherwise, check locally for computer services that might do that for you (I think Best Buy Geek Squad may be able to help). If the drive itself is in good shape, it shouldn't be too expensive.

Been on to support a number of times now - is anyone experiencing the same issues?

BUMP.
I actually showed this to Apple geniuses when I took my computer to the apple store, and it's still here. In console it says:
kernel[0]: Previous Shutdown Cause: -128
I don't know if that's related or not, but maybe helps?

I have just purchased a new Mac and want to sync my ipod - previous computer was PC - can I recover tunes from the ipod to the Mac?

I have just purchased a new Mac and want to sync my ipod - previous computer was PC - can I recover tunes from the ipod to the Mac?

1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPod but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPod with it.
above covers purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

When trying to download Mavericks it says it cannot be loaded onto this machine? Strange as I have just downloaded Pages, Numbers and Keynote...free? Thanks and Regards

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You already have got OS X Mavericks installed (the Keynote, Pages and Numbers versions available in the Mac App Store are only compatible with OS X Mavericks).
You have got a Late 2013 MacBook Pro, which uses a special OS X Mavericks version that is not available in the Mac App Store. This is the reason why the Mac App Store is not compatible with OS X Mavericks even if you are using it. This will be fixed in OS X 10.9.1, when your Mac uses the same Mavericks version as all other Macs.
Until then, you can reinstall OS X through OS X Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
