Does the Mac mini take mini DVD-Rs, like those in Panasonic camcorders?

Do they fit in the slot and come out? They're half-size, and I thought maybe it wouldn't go in right. Any tips before I try it?

I never thought you were stupid. This question comes up fairly often. You would need a tray-loading CD/DVD drive to read odd-sized disks. If you're looking to transfer video from a DVD camcorder in order to edit it, I understand it's not an easy thing to do. A search in this forum or, better yet, an iMovie forum.

  • Does the Mac Mini Server include iLife?

    Hi,
    I couldn't find a question to this anywhere...
    I'm considering buying a Mac Mini Server soon.
    Question - Does the Mac Mini Server include iLife?

    When Apple first came out with the Mini with Snow Leopard server, even their sales support people said it came with iLife. (They no longer make that mistake.)
    By using the statements of sales support and by referring to the claims on the iLife page (which you quote) -- with some insistence on my part -- I was able to get AppleCare to send me iLife for free. Worth a try. Though frankly, my time would have been better spent just buying the iLife.

  • Does the Mac Mini have a camera?

    Thinking about getting a Mac Mini because it is very affordable, and I hate my PC, does the Mac Mini have a camera for facetime?

    I think cameras are in the displays.  The Mini is the "scrunched" version of the tower.

  • Does the Mac mini mid-2010 have an active PFC power supply?

    I'm about to buy a UPS unit to run my NAS, and I'd like to connect my Mac mini to it as well. Does the Mac mini mid-2010 model have an active PFC (power factor correction) PSU (power supply unit)?
    I've read that if it does (as the Dell XPS series do), then one of the cheaper UPS units won't work because those typically have modified/simulated sine wave outputs (you'll only notice when the power is out and the UPS is feeding power from its battery). It would mean I'd have to buy one of the more expensive UPS units like APC Smart-UPS SC620 or CyberPower CP1000PFCLCD.
    I can't seem to find any resources that explain this. Please?

    FWIW, I use one of these:
    http://www.cyberpowersystems.com/products/ups-systems/soho-ups/cp425slg.html?sel ectedTabId=overview&imageI=#tab-box
    for my HTPC setup.  I have a 2010 Mini with a couple of USB drives plugged
    into it, my 42" Samsung LCD TV, cable modem, cable box, and an Airport Extreme
    Base Station running off of the backup power ports (not my 5.1 receiver for obvious
    power reasons).  With all on, I get enough time to gracefully power down the Mini with
    time to spare when power goes out.  When not watching TV or listening to music,
    the cable modem and AEBS can run a long time during a power outage.
    I have had this setup for around 2 years and have had no ill effects on any of
    the gear and I do periodically have everthing powered then yank the AC
    cord to cycle the battery.

  • HT1600 How long does the Apple TV take to update? It looks as though mine got jammed! What do I do?

    How long does the Apple TV take to update? It looks as though mine got jammed! What do I do?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Mine's usually about 5 minutes, but it wouldn't be more than 30-40, if it's any longer.......
    You can't do much else besides pull the plug. If it causes further problems you should be able to restore as below:
    Get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
        1.    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
        2.    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
        3.    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
        4.    Open iTunes.
        5.    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    On the other hand you may be able to simply start the update again. If however the update continues to fail, you should try the restore routine above.

  • Does the Mac Pro v1.1 support SATA II 6Gb/s?

    Does the Mac Pro (late_2006) support SATA II 6Gb/s internal hard drives?

    Of course not, not in the sense that 6G existed but you still can use any SATA II/III specification drive.
    So yes they are supported in that sense.
    Only limit is if you use current SSD you still get great IOPS and such just not the sustained writes.
    NO Mac Pro actually has an SATA III port. And it is more about features and specs and all drives have to be backward compatible or drive vendors would be foolish and go out of business (not everyone can or wants or needs to upgrade their motherboard).
    You can add PCIe SATA 6G such as CalDigit and others.

  • I AM STRUGGLINT TO ACCESS MY IPHOTO'S AND HAVE TO GO THROUGH APPLICATIONS TO ACCESS MY PHOTOS. HOW CAN I CORRECT THIS PLEASE. DOES THE MAC HAVE A DEFRAG?  TX

    I am having problems viewing my iPhoto from the dock and have to go through my applications to view. What do I have to do to correct this please? Also does the Mac have a defrag function? I have also been advised by the sales person that the Mac does not need an antivirus programme, is this true?

    I'm sorry but your post make no sense
    first off All Caps is not necessary and makes things hard to read and is consider shouting - it is rude
    Second you do not have "an iPhoto" - iPhoto is an application that manages photos - the photos are stored (by default) in the iPhoto library in a SQL lite database and you use the iPhoto program to manage them
    I am having problems viewing my iPhoto from the dock and have to go through my applications to view.
    can you please explain this in some detail. When you launch iPhoto by clicking on the iPhoto icon in the Dock what happens?
    As to your other OS questions this is certainly not hte best place to address them - we are iPhoto users just like yourself here  ---  basically as I understand it (and I have had had Macs for 30+ years) there is no "defrag and you do not need one - and antivirus is your choice - most people feel it is a waste of money on a Mac but some like to have it

  • Does the Mac Book Pro With Retna have a disk drive?

    Does The Mac Book pro With Retna have a disk drive?

    No.  The storage is all SSD.
    Ciao.
    If you are referring to an optical drive, that is also NOT included.  You would need to connect one externally.
