Does minecraft or any games run on Mac Mini?

Hello everyone! Well, first of all, I`m spanish so sorry for my english <3 xD. Well, I`m going to buy the newest mac mini on october I suppose and I´d like to know if the mac mini run well Minecraft or some games more like COD4 or something. I supposed that Apple will change the graphics to HD 5000 Graphics...
But, does HD 4000 run minecraft for example? And also I´d like to know if mac mini runs Photoshop or Cinema 4d fast and if mac mini get stress or something that runs mac os x slow...
I hope you replay me
Thanks beforehand

Hello, can't answer those directly, but some benchmarks & comments, (HD500 might be 30% better)...

  • IPhoto 9 does not show any photo of old Mac Mini's iPhoto 7 library

    I'm trying to migrate an 80GB iPhoto library from my old Mac Mini to a new iMac. The old Mac Mini has iPhoto version 7. The new iMac iPhoto 9.
    When I copied the complete library, iPhoto does not show any photos. How can I fix this? I already tried:
    Using iPhoto Library Upgrader – however it shows: Your library can open with the current version of iPhoto and does not need to be prepared with this tool.
    Using iPhoto's rebuilding etc functions on both Macs – this does not do the trick
    Using iPhoto Library Manager – also shows 0 photo and rebuilding does not work.
    Anybody knows a solution?
    Thanks!

    Doesn't work :
    It is also quite strange that iPhoto just opens the library without any warnings, but without showing any of the content (photos, albums, etc.)

  • Does anybody know any software for the Mac that I can run round robin, single and double elimination tournaments?

    Does anybody know any software for the Mac that I can run round robin, single and double elimination tournaments?  I help run tournaments but using excel for pool play and the web for bracket play, but if wifi is not available I have no way of running brackets for prize play.  Can some one help point me in the direction of software that I can use locally on my Mac Pro. 
    Thanks,

  • Running The Mac Mini Non-stop

    Does anyone have experience or an opinion on running the Mac Mini continuously non-stop for long periods of time (e.g. months)? Let's assume that sleep mode is disabled.
    How will this affect the reliability of the machine?
    I do this to my PC and they seem fine. Just wondering if the Mac Mini will do okay.
    Mac Mini Intel Core Duo 1.66GHz; 2 GB RAM; OS X 10.4.6

    A few quick items:
    1) I agree with all who posted. You should have no problem leaving the Mini on indefinitely.
    2) Go to your System Preferences and select the Energy Saving Option (It looks like a light bulb). Check off to turn the Hard Drive off when possible, Select Sleep, Never and set your monitor to power down when you want it to.
    3) If you have a broadband internet connection where it is always on, you want to make sure your firewall is up. Go to System Preferences, select Sharing and then select Firewall. Turn it on for your protection. You probably don't need it if you have a router, but just in case.
    Good luck!

  • I run a Mac Mini 10.6.1 and a G5 10.4.11 - they share a screen. Yesterday the contrast on the Mac Mini went mad. Very very heavy contrast and now its impossible to retouch with Photoshop as I cannon judge the colours accuratly. The G5 is fine. John UK

    I run a Mac Mini 10.6.1 and a G5 10.4.11 - they share a screen. Yesterday the contrast on the Mac Mini went mad. Very very heavy contrast and now its impossible to retouch with Photoshop as I cannot judge the colours accuratly. The G5 is fine. I keep the screen image I get on the G5 good and accurate with Huey. I believe I cannot use this with the "Intel Inside" Mac Mini. Does anyone know how I can restore the great screen image I got up to yesterday on my Mac Mini? Thanks. John Suffolk England.

    Likely caused by one of the following: a bad cable, maybe a bad connection or (my guess) bad graphics hardware.
    To rule out the software, see if booting from an installer DVD shows better color.
    Swap the cables and check the connections.
    Then call your hardware support provider.

  • How can I boot and run my Mac Mini on my 12" PwrBk display using firewire?

    How can I boot and run my Mac Mini on my 12" PwrBk display using firewire?

    bwhit:
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    No reason why you should not be able to do it using Firewire Target Disk Mode. Here's what you do:
    1. With both computers shut down connect both via firewire.
    2. Startup the Mini and hold down "T" key immediately after chime.
    3. Startup the PB and immediately after chime hold down Option key.
    4. Select second HDD icon on the screen and click on the right pointing arrow.
    5. Computer will boot from Mini's HDD.
    Be sure to shut down PB completely before shutting down Mini.
    Please do post back with an update or with further questions or comments.
    Cheers

  • Does these temps look normal on my mac mini ?

    does these temps look normal on my mac mini ?

    45c in the UK?
    I live in London much of the time, I have never seen an ambient temp of 45c (113f), you are in great danger of heatstroke in that temperature.
    The current temperature in London is 8c, the highest temperature today was 14c.

  • Does a M9270LL A work a on mac mini running Mavericks?

    I am more fond of the old keyboards rather than the new flat ones, Will a M9270LL A work on a mac mini late 2012 running Mavericks?
    Or is it a *dumb* question since it

    If you have it, try it out. I hve no clue whethere or not older devices would work with current hardware/software.

  • Does Final Cut Express 4 work with mac mini and other questions...?

    I have a few questions I need help in answering... I would appreciate opinions on the following:
    I am about to make a purchase of a new mac. I already have a mac mini PPC, but it is too slow...
    Here is what I am thinking.
    Mac mini, 2GB mem, 160GB hard drive. Will this new mac mini work with Final Cut Express 4?
    Or should I go with the more powerful iMac?
    I like to make movies on my mac but I hate iMovie 08 so I constantly use iMovie HD 06. Should I go to Final Cut Express 4 or just stick with iMovie HD 06?

    There is no doubt that FCE 4 will run on an Intel mini - the GMA graphics processor is compatible. There is also no doubt that an iMac would give you somewhat better overall performance, though it's important perhaps to note that as complex as FCE is, it is actually a little less demanding on hardware than iMovie has traditionally been, so the difference between a mini with 2Gb RAM and a similarly equipped iMac will not be all that great in FCE, though it will become a little more noticeable if you continue to use iMovie 6.
    The main reason for the performance difference between iMovie and FCE is that in order to provide a reasonably sophisticated video editing package that will run on very basic hardware, Apple relied heavily on caching techniques, meaning that while FCE basically spools from video and relies on CPU power, iMovie constantly moves data to and from the hard drive. The mini's hard drive is a (relatively) slow device in comparison to the iMac's - thus the iMac runs iMovie rather more seamlessly. In FCE, the difference is, as said, rather less clear unless you were to go for the top-end model.
    If your budget can stretch to an iMac it makes sense to go that route simply because the extra power and overall performance (and the better graphics processor) will give you greater flexibility down the road. On the other hand, if funds are tight and you need to spend as little as reasonably possible, a mini will do fine, and is sufficient;y inexpensive that in a couple of years could be sold off and replaced without severe financial implications.
    In terms of the choice between FCE or iMovie, beware that if you haven't used FCE before, the transition is not easy, and the learning curve for it is pretty steep. That said, it has far greater power and flexibility in terms of what you can achieve with it than has ever been possible with iMovie.
    That said, for casual and home use, iMovie (version 6 at least) has plenty of power and tools for the majority of projects. iMovie 8 is, in many ways, deeply flawed for those who want that sort of power and workflow tools, being that it is designed for quick and easy creation of movies, not creative and considered productions. It has it's uses, but if you have experience with iMovie already, v8 is really not intended for you at all.
    All that said, I've used iMovie 6 on systems will a lot less power than the current Intel minis, and have found it stable and workable, so I have no doubt it would work well on any current Mac.

  • Ran disk utility repair permissions....now I can not open any applications on my Mac mini

    my Mac mini (mid 2011. OS X 10.9.1). Was running very slow so I ran repair permissions...after re-booting my computer I can not open any apple applications.  I keep getting a pop up window that says " finder quit unexpectedly". When trying to open safari " safari quit unexpectedly".  I can open skype, google chrome.   The computer indicates that wifi is on and connected - however I can't seem to log into Skype or access any web pages.  What to do next?
    One more thing, I keep getting pop up windows asking for passwords for different items if or keychain...I have tried to put in my password, but that doesn't work. Not sure what password it is looking for but the window won't go away even when I hit cancel

    Boot into your recovery partition (restart, hold down ⌘R until you see the Apple logo), and use Disk Utility to repair your hard drive.  OS X: About OS X Recovery
    Then see if you can restart normally.

  • HT1338 I can't play the Facebook games on my mac mini, It takes forever to load and its not moving pass  a certain percentage

    I can't play the facebook games. It keeps stalling.

    Mac Minis don't run iOS.  It would help to know what Mac OS X version you have, and the Machine ID  whether it is PowerMac x,y or Mac Mini x,y and and the x,y values.   Please do not give us your serial number as that is the key to your warranty.

  • Does final cut pro x work on mac mini i5 2.3GHz

    Hey everyone I'm a Mac newbie and i just bought this mac mini of course the cheapest one and now im wondering if i would be able to run final cut pro x on it        if i install 16gb of ram someone please help me out if not i may just return it thanks in advance

    short answer: it will
    long answer; FCPX does perform well (for my needs), on my less-powerful MacMini C2D/2.26 with 8GB. so, the i5 plus its newer graphic card plus your 16GBs will 'fly'. you can improve performance even more with additional, external harddrives, to keep projects, events and system/app on physical diff. drives.
    It's a kind of 'religious war' here on this board btw, the real professionals ("…only and just only  fw800 RAIDS work!"), and hobbyists like Ian and me ("my ol' usb drives support 6-angle-multicam too!") what kind of drives you should use ... finally, size-of-wallet decides

  • Want to run a Mac Mini into a 50" Samsung Plasma screen TV...will it work?

    The TV is a Samsung PN50B850 Plasma screen with a VGA input: http://reviews.cnet.com/flat-panel-tvs/samsung-pn50b850/4505-6482_7-33490381.htm l
    Hee are the tech specs: http://ecoustics-cnet.com.com/flat-panel-tvs/samsung-pn50b850/4507-6482_7-334903 81.html?tag=mncol;psum
    From what I can tell it should just plug right into the VGA input on the TV...but my question is am I going to have any issues with resolution or anything like that?
    Also, from the pictures it looks like the DVI to VGA adapter that apple offers is only like 3 inches long? Do they make them longer than this? I had planned on mounting the TV on the wall above my fireplace on an arm that tilts and swings out about 2-3 ft and just sitting the Mac Mini on the mantle...anyways I didn't want to go away on vacation, have my mom come over, adjust the TV, and send my Mac Mini to its untimely death:(

    mapexvenus
    Could you please tell me the exact settings you have on your TV and your mac.
    Under what menu are you selecting PC DVI?
    What resolution and other settings do you have your mac set to?
    Currently I have mine setup like so:
    Mac Mini with mini dvi to dvi adaptor then a cable dvd to hdmi.
    I then have that hdmi plug into port 2 of my tv that says (HDMI/DVI on it.
    On the mac I have resolution set to 1920 x 1080 and i have overscan ticked.
    The picture is OK but up close i would not say it is perfectly crisp (especially text) but from a about 6 feet away it seems fine.
    Is the text on your screen pin sharp?
    Thanks in advance

  • HD Flash Video does not play smoothly on brand new Mac Mini

    I just bought a new Apple Mac Mini (2.5GHz model with discrete 256Mb AMD Radeon HD 6630M graphics card, OS X 10.7.3). One thing I bought it for was watching HD video on the BBC iPlayer site here in the UK, but I found that it won't play it smoothly. It drops frames, particularly noticable as the camera pans. I'm using Safari and the current 11.1 Flash Player, but I've tried the latest release candidate too (11,2,202,221). The videos are 720p 50Hz, H.264 encoded, 3.2 Mbps, and use 80% - 100% CPU, so it seems to me that I don't have hardware acceleration. Enabling or disabling hardware accleration doesn't seem to make a difference.
    I'd like to test it with other HD H.264 Flash videos, but I can't find any. Can anyone point me to some?

    Not all video will have full hardware acceleration (stage video) enabled.  Can you try the following link?
    http://youtu.be/SHZFsJKlsuA?hd=1
    I just gave this a try with Chrome on my Macbook Pro (15", mid 2010) and Flash used between 8% - 25% cpu, the average being somewhere below 15%.
