Got to do diagnostics with my mini...but...r/o

I did 5 in 1
reads like this...
DRAMPASS
CKKSUM: 9958
RTC: 67
USBPASS
What does this stuff mean? Thanks...

Unlikely anyone here would know for sure since this is meant for Apple's engineers not the end user.
Anything here help?

Just got new Apple TV with updated OS but no new features showing?like yahoo etc

Where are you located? A lot of the features are US only

Got the white screen with flashing ? But no startup disk to be found

Need some help as following all instructions from everyone I cannot reinstall OS X mountain lion (I was using Mavericks but Mountain Lion is all that is coming up - issue is when asked to select disk where I want to install nothing come up??

A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac
Question (?) Mark, Blinking Folder, or Gray Screen at Startup
These are related but not identical issues. Their causes are outlined in Intel-based Mac- Startup sequence and error codes, symbols. Solutions may be found in:
A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac
Mac OS X- Gray screen appears during startup
In most cases the problems may be caused by one or more of these:
Problem with the computer's PRAM - See Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM.
Boot drive's directory has been corrupted - Repair with Disk Utility.
Critical system files are damaged or deleted - Reinstall OS X.
The disk drive is physically non-functional - Replace the hard drive.
Note that the information I have provided is what Apple recommends, If other users suggest different solutions than found here, then be sure what they recommend does not impact on your warranty, if any, or ability to get continuing Apple service.
Please don't start removing drives or changing cables unless you know what you are doing and have exhausted other non-invasive alternatives outlined here. If you perform any work yourself that is unapproved by Apple, then you will void any warranty you may have and lose all further Apple Support.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
The main difference if you are using Lion or Mountain Lion is that you must first boot from the Recovery HD. Simply boot from the Recovery HD to perform the above.

2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.

Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Got Profile Manager working with Mtn Lion, but Apple's new deployment methodology has complicated things substantially - need help!

Hello,
We recently (a month or so ago) were able to set up OSX Server/Profile Manager/Workgroup Manager on Mtn Lion, and deploy to Mac desktops (deploy 802.1x settings and certs)
When we upgraded the OSX Server to Mavericks, everything changed - PM is different in this version. In order to enroll devices in PM it seems you need a Device Enrollment token, to get one you need to export a public key & add it to an MDM server on Apples website & in order to do that you need to create an account with Apple. To create that account you need your Apple Customer # & a ‘work email address’ that is not already used. Then you have to fill out a form & wait for Apple to approve it.
We have plans to utilize MDM at some point in the future, but for now, Profile Manager works fine - are we forced to utilize MDM in order enroll devices using profile manager with Mavericks/OSX Server 3.1.1?
Thanks for any and all help,
-Drew

Can anyone help with this?
Do I *have* to use MDM with OSX Server 3.1.1 in order to use PM?
Thanks,
-Drew

Mp4 used to sync with ipad mini but now won't help!

I have had a couple of video files on my ipad which I transferred across from iTunes and played perfectly fine, but to save space on ipad I un sync'd them. I am about to go on holiday so thought I would put them back on my ipad but now it says cannot be played on ipad...have I done something wrong? I can still watch them on iTunes on computer and have watched them on this ipad in the past.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks

Just try converting the video file to iPad Version

Cropping of sides of my video image with matrox mini

Hey everyone,
I'm wondering if anyone else is having the same problem I am with a Matrox mini to Dell HD monitor set up. The side edges of my image are getting just slightly cropped off. I do have the monitor set to 1:1 and the external video settings in FCP are set correctly.
Matrox technical support has a clip of my footage and can reproduce the problem but they don't know why it is happening. Their "engineers" have been looking into if for over 2 weeks and haven't solved it. They have tested my footage on two Dell HD monitors. I asked them to test on a real video production monitor but they said they don't have one!
When I asked B&H about this they said that it was probably due to the monitor (maybe because I bought the matrox from them). They said I shouldn't be using a Dell monitor because it doesn't have underscan. I know that the Dell monitor is not a real video monitor but I thought with the matrox that it should work just as well.
Anyone else having this problem??
I'm editing 720p60 footage on a new 17" macbook pro, going out to the matrox via matrox expresscard connection to hdmi, going from matrox to dell hd monitor via hdmi.

First off, I know the product manager for the MXO, and I e-mailed him this post. He said that they have over 100 broadcast monitors there, and in the tech support area, so you must be dealing with a very green tech support guy. Call back, get someone better.
Second...I don't know why the Dell is doing that. But this is a computer monitor, so who knows what it is doing. This is the fault of the DELL, not the MXO2 Mini. The MXO 2 mini sends out a full sized signal...I know this as I have one sitting right here (I keep it in my computer bag at all times), and I connected it to my laptop and then to my HD CRT that DOES have Underscan. And sure enough, it shows the full image. So the fault is not with the Mini, but the monitor.
Third...you are using a computer monitor with HDMI inputs...this isn't an HDTV. But because of the HDMI inputs you will be able to adjust the monitor to bars. Still, this is FAR from ideal as a way of color correcting. The MXO and Dell combination (via DVI) is a decent way of seeing good color, it compared well to my HD CRT. But it isn't the best, it is a budget option. Computer monitors offer 6-bit color...not 8-bit...not even close to 10-bit. HDTVs I believe can do 8-bit...so they are better than computer monitors.
Fourth...
I'm editing a film that has a lot of tracking shots so I REALLY need to know exactly what is at the edge of a frame when I'm deciding where to cut.
Ok then...use the CANVAS to look at this. The Canvas shows you the entire image. Even if you use Motion or AE, their window shows you the FULL image...and offer title safe guides. NO need to use the monitor to figure out your tracking shots.
Fifth...
The finished product will be transferred to film so I will really need to see the entire image.
If you are transferring to film, something that doesn't come cheap, why are you using the bare cheapest way of monitoring your image? One that is far from ideal. If I were transferring something to film, I'd want the best I could get. Heck, and HDTV would be better than what you are using now. But really, I'd rent a broadcast monitor with component inputs for use with the Mini. Not as good as SDI, but much better than a Dell computer monitor with HDMI inputs.
The mini is designed for people on a budget. I love the box and use it for many things. But I would NOT use it in combination with a computer monitor to grade a project going to film.

No sound from Apogee Jam with iPad mini and Lightning-30 pin adapter

Hello everybody.
I'm trying to use my Apogee Jam with iPad mini but I am unable to hear any sound from it. Jam seems to work, since the led become green and react to the guitar signal. I tried two different guitars and different cables but nothing changes. Jam also works perfectly on MacBook Pro and garage Band, so I first assumed the issue was in the iPad or in the Lightning-30 pin adapter (genuine).
Oddly on AmpliTube I can tune the guitar, so some signal arrives to the iPad, but I can't do the same on JamUp, where the tuner seems not to reiceve any signal. Are there some settings I should check on the apps?
Thanks for any suggestions!

Make sure you have the monitor input turned on in GarageBand. http://youtu.be/Eb8bN3tExio

Want to buy a new Mini, but should I wait for Snow Leopard?

I'm ready to buy a Mac Mini now. But with Snow Leopard just around the corner, I would hate to have to dish out another $129 for Snow Leopard when I could have just waited a few months for it to ship with the Mini.
Is it worth it to wait, or should I just dive into a new Mini with just Leopard?
Any thoughts on this will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the great input everyone!
Most of you say 'go for it now', and that's the way I'm leaning, but I'll drill down a little deeper with where I'm at on this.
I've been wanting to get a Mini since they first came out, but more intently since last fall. I heard that they were due for a refresh, and rumors had been floating that there would be new models in Q1 of 2009. I had hoped to see them at Macworld, but we all know what a disappointment that was. So after much anticipation, they're finally here. All that to say, I have a very strong desire to order one right now.
But then there is this question of Snow Leopard. My main reason (although there are many) for getting a Mini is to record my broadcast TV shows in HD with eyeTV. I've been using my Dual 867Mhz Power Mac G4 (MDD) to record shows in analog mode with eyeTV, and it does it very successfully. But my G4 doesn't meet the requirements to record in HD (although I've tried it and it will record HD, but it's not always successful and it takes at least 12 to export it to iTunes). Also, broadcast TV is going to can analog on June 12. So I wont be able to record my shows after that unless I have the Mini.
So, here is where I'm at with this dilemma:
AndyO hit the head on the nail with this
AndyO wrote:
There is a good argument to say that if you have no immediate need for a new system, you should wait until Snow leopard is announced, but not yet pre-installed on systems in the supply chain and buy a system then. That would give you an installed copy of Leopard and either a Snow Leopard upgrade disk in the box, or an 'up-to-date' program option to buy a Snow Leopard copy for a small fee. That would give you the best of both worlds.
This is exactly what I'd like - "the best of both worlds." Getting SL with the Mini but not having it pre-installed would be ideal.
But will the announcement come at the WWDC?
Will the WWDC be held at the speculated date of June 6-12 (which is right before the DTV switch btw)? And even if I wait for the announcement, this is not the guaranteed outcome (they could end up saying that all systems will be shipping with SL today).
Ugh! I'm so torn.
Does anyone know how far ahead they announce the date of the WWDC?

Mac Mini 2011 with i7 processor, but stuttering images?

Hi there,
Finally I've gone and got a Mac Mini for my HDTV, I got the 2.5 GHz model, but upgraded the processor to a 2.7 i7 one. It also has the AMD Radeon display which I thought was meant to be top of the range....
But as I'm watching video on my TV I'm seeing occassional stuttering images. It's not the flickering screen problem that I've seen reported elsewhere where the screen goes black for a second. This is like little split second freezes, or like a frame has been skipped.
It's not just on digital files I watched from my iTunes library. I've also seen the same thing when playing a DVD in the super drive I also bought with my Mac Mini.
Other info that may help:
My Mac Mini is connected by HDMI to my Denon 1910 AVR, which itself is connected to my TV via HDMI.
The HDMI cable I've got going from Mac to AVR was the same one I used to have in my Apple TV (last year's model). It wasn't an expensive cable. I don't recall having similar problems with the Apple TV.
My TV is an LG 50Hz (32LH50YD).
In the display preference panel, I've got 1080p selected for resolution, and 50Hz PAL for the refresh rate (PAL is the standard in Australia).
Is the problem with the Mini, with the AVR or with the TV? Any ideas on how to trouble shoot?
Thanks in advance....

I have the same i7 model and a similar set up (HDMI from Mini to Amp, then HDMI to TV), but I've only noticed this happen once on a downloaded TV episode (standard def). I assumed it was something to do with the content I was watching or due to having a lot of stuff running in the background.
Have you checked Activity Monitor to see if there's anything eating up CPU while you're watching?
Is the problem repeatable at the same point in the same DVD / download? Or is it random?
Have you tried viewing the content with different software? I use Plex for all my content viewing, except stuff downloaded directly from iTunes.

I've got a late 2009 mac mini with a 320gb hard drive and I want to upgrade it to a 1tb drive or bigger. What HDDs are compatible with my mini?

I've got a late 2009 mac mini with a 320gb hard drive and I want to upgrade it to a 1tb drive or bigger. What HDDs are compatible with my mini?
Because of the price I'm not interested in solid state drives, unless of course you want to send me $1,000.
I've already got external drives but I take my mini back and forth to work and don't want to carry those drives with me.
I'm not interested in buying a laptop. My mini works great so why waste $1,000 or more when I can buy a 1 to 3 TB hdd for under $300 and have exactly what I want. My late 2009 Mac Mini with a large hdd.
I went to Crucial's website and they can't tell me what drives fit my Mac Mini. That's where I got my ram (8GB). I'm ONLY interested in name brand quality HDDs.

The limiting factor in your 2009 mini is the max 9.5mm drive thickness.
One of the largest capacity 2.5" drives that meets this criteria is the HGST (formerly Hitachi) at 1.5GB
Any reputable SATA HDD you can find that is not thicker then this 9.5mm will work.

I have a 2008 iMac 21.5" 10.6.8 Snow Leopard with 4.1.3 VMWare and windows 7.Mountain Lion initially refused to down load as I had back up on the HD. this was removed and installation was accepted but froze in the initial stages with 33 mins to go.

I have a 2008 iMac 21.5" using 10.6.8 Snow Leopard with VM Ware 4.1.3 supporting Windows 7. Initially ML OSX refused to install due to Back up on HD which I removed to trash.It then proceeded but froze up in the initial stages with 33 mins remaining. I was lucky enough to quit and restart using 10.6.8. With all the problems on this chat line, it appears it may be best to leave Mountain Lion well alone, and cut losses rather than tempt fate.Has anybody anything positive to say or help with?
