How do i know if my Mini will even work with a wireless printer?

I'm thinking of getting a wireless printer. How do i know if one will even work with my old Mac Mini?
A very elementary question, cuz i'v never done anything wireless before.
I guess i would follow the instructions of whichever printer brand i get.
But can you direct me to whatever Apple explanations there might be.
Thanky u.
It will be nice to get rid of all these wires, if i can.

Thanky. Yo guessed correctly, it is a MacMini 2.1.
My next Q for you:
How do i change my rating of your answer?
I graded it as Helpful.
But i see no obvious way to change it to the Solution.
Cuz you are 'this close' to 98,900 pts.

If I buy mini, will it work with my Pioneer 436HD?

I've spent a good deal of time searching through past posts and help databases, but I can't seem to figure out the answer.
Does anyone know if a mini will work with my Pioneer plasma 43 inch TV. model 436HD? It has an HDMI port (which is being used by my dvd player) and a computer plug which I think is described as a VGA plug.
I was hoping to play the tv shows I downloaded from iTunes, surf the web, do web cams and edit photos and movies.
Thanks for any advice.

It will likely work at some level. Whether it works perfectly and meets your expectations is best answered if you can find someone else that has paired the two devices and confirmed they work. But it looks like you have tried this.
There are two problems commonly encountered. One is overscan where the edges of the Mac desktop don't show on the screen. This is a big problem because it affects the menu bar and the dock. The other common problem is non-square pixels on most plasma screens.
Is there any way for you to try this before you purchase? Or will a retailer let you return the mini if it doesn't work?

How do I find out which programs of mine will not work with Mountain Lion?

I recently upgraded to Lion and found that all of my Power PC based applications wouldn't work (much to my surprise, as no one at Apple told me this when I inquired about the upgrade, nor is it listed in the App Store). Had to get a whole new Microsoft Word suite - after the fact.
Now, I just got an email from Intuit saying that if I upgrade to Mountain Lion I will probably have to upgrade to the latest and greatest version of Quickbooks (unless I create a partition, which is waaay too complicated for me). How do I find out what ELSE won't work if I upgrade to Mountain Lion?

How to update the Iphone? Mine will not work

I cannot get my iphone 4 to update? It goes all the way through the update and then says it cannot be updated at this time. Any suggestions?

Double check internet connectivity, click on iTunes store and see if you can navigate through it. If not, check your firewall and see if it allows iTunes to access internet. And possibly disable third party security software (antivirus programs).

T42 will not work with new wireless router

Purchased a new router, works great with my T61 and x200 but not with my older T42. The old router worked fine with all 3 thinkpad computers. I am told that the T42 has only an 11mps modemcard inside, and therefore I am out of luck. I have to purchase an external usb modem or slow down the router for the other machines. Is there nothing I can do with my T42 settings to get onto this new router? Steve

Posting the 7-character model number of your T42 would help a lot...
You can replace the wireless card with a newer bg or abg one, and it should work fine with a newer router.
For a list of applicable cards, look at this page under number 14:

How do I know if my MBP will benefit from heatsink paste reapplication?

Dear Mac Users
I know the theme of hot MacBook Pro's has been done to death, but I would like to add my two pennyworth with respect to the specific question: How do I know if my MBP will benefit from reapplication of the heatsink compound? I have trawled numerous very long threads here and not found a satisfactory answer. The reapplication of the heatsink paste is a bit of a schlep and not without some risk of breaking it, so it would be good to know if the benefit is worth the risk.
One common question is: "Are my MBP temperatures unusual?". A useful mac temperature database can be found at the following link:
http://www.intelmactemp.com/list
Consulting this list should set some parameter space for many users - there does seem to be considerable variability - suggesting highly variable quality of heat sink paste application by Apple. In my particular case I have an early 2011 MBP (i7, quad core, 2.2GHz). This certainly ran very hot. I even had a burn on my thigh from it, which took a while to heal. I know, they are notebooks, not laptops, but still . . . . To put very hot into perspective, the CPU was sitting at over 60C at idle, and whole case would be hot to the touch, such that resting your hands on it was uncomfortable. And yes, the computer was idling, there were no rogue processes chewing up cycles. At full load, the CPU would run at 90C and the whole thing would get very hot. I avoided running major projects or rendering jobs on it to preserve it from heat fatigue - the warranty is now up.
My first attempt at reducing the temperatures, was to clean it. The clue was in the USB/Firewire etc ports. All were very fluffy, which suggested that there was a lot of crud in the heatsink fins. Fixing this was simple; adopt anti-static precautions; remove the back panel; blow air into the exhaust vents at the base of the screen. Numerous large fluff bunnies popped out of the fans and elsewhere. Alternatively, you can unscrew the two fans and partially lift them out (without removing the power cables to the motherboard). Major fluff on the heatsink fins can then be tweezered out, prior to blowing it through, to ensure all debris is removed. I did this subsequently on my Core 2 Duo MBP. After defluffing the idle i7 CPU temperatures dropped from 60C to 43C, but perhaps of more importance was that the whole case was much cooler and the keyboard temperature was close to ambient - much nicer to use.
So that fixed the major heat problem. However, the question remained, would I see any further improvements by stripping the thing down and reapplying the heatsink paste? What I was looking for in this forum was a rule of thumb based on temperature measurements to help me make an informed decision on whether to strip the thing down. As my machine was out of warranty, I wasn't worried about voiding that. Also, where I am there is zero support (Africa), so Genius Bar or similar was not an option. But jiggering a 14month (very expensive) laptop was not something I wanted to do for thrills. The data in many of the posts did not provide any answers. In the end I made some measurements and decided to do the fix. The step by step instructions I followed were very clear and can be found for many Macs/models at:
http://www.ifixit.com/Device/Mac
This guide made life a lot less stressful, as pulling a connector the wrong way could trash the motherboard, and those connectors are so very tiny and fragile. It is very important to take it slow and follow each step to the letter (and not skip steps inadvertently). My before and after heatsink paste fix temperature data are shown below. The idle temps are improved, while the full load temps look like a marginal improvement. However, CPU temperature is not the only story. Certainly after the fix, the whole case is generally cooler, so the heat extraction system is working better. Also, the CPU before and after temps are quite similar at full load, but that assumes the CPU is running at the same power. I do not know enough about the i7 architecture to say if the before speed was being limited by heat, while in the after case the turbo-boost was able to run out to the maximum. Unfortunately, I didn't do any CPU performance tests. So, based on temperatures alone, it looks like a marginal improvement, but it is certainly making a difference to case temperatures.
Note all temperatures were measured at an ambient temperature of 20C on a flat, hard surface using Marcel Bresink's Temperature Monitor. Fan speed was measured using the Fan Control software - set to allow firmware control at idle.

Back to my original question: How do I know if my MBP will benefit from reapplication of the heatsink compound? I think temperatures alone will not give a good answer - mainly because the CPU probably has variable output - due to turbo boost. One thing I did notice is that the temperature response of the CPU when it gets switched to full load, does vary according to the quality of the heatsink paste. With the original Apple paste, when I switched the CPU to full load (from idle) the temperature of the CPU went up to its maximum almost instantaneously and stayed at that level ie the graph of temperature vs time was a step function. This suggests that the CPU may be controlling the temperature by throttling itself. Otherwise, as the heatsink warmed up, the CPU should also rise in temperature - mine stayed bang on 90C and fluctuated only by a degree either side. After application of heat sink paste, the CPU has a much larger effective thermal mass and consequently heats up much more slowly. Turning the CPU up to maximum from idle resulted in the temperature climbing to a maximum over about 3-4s. After peaking at around 92C it dropped back as the fans kicked in, to around 86C.
So perhaps one way of assessing the quality of your heatsink paste is to ramp the CPU to maximum from idle and look at the shape of the temperature profile. A step function suggests a lousy job and benefit may be had from reapplication. A more gently sloping profile, followed by a dip due to the fans kicking in, may suggest you are in good shape. Obviously, this presupposes that your Mac temperatures are not insanely hot to start with (i.e. high 90sC+). In which case, if defluffing doesn't do the job, then new heatsink paste is almost certainly required.
Regards, BB

I'm sorry but this is too funny to pass up.

My wife and I have separate Ids but all our music is in one library. How will this work with iCloud?

My wife and I have separate Ids but all our music is in one library. How will this work with iCloud? i'm trying to download past purchases from her id, but itunes is saying that I can't because the computer is associated with my apple id. Can I associate the computer with both ids for the purpose of identifying all of our music with both or just one of our ids? Is there a good way to do this? I'm sure we're not the only people with this problem...

I have 23 inch Apple HD Display. Will this work with my MacBook Pro? How shall I connect it?

I have 23 inch Apple HD Display. Will this work with my MacBook Pro? How shall I connect it?

yarova818,
there were two different 23-inch Apple Cinema HD displays made. The first one was made between 2002 and 2004, and has an ADC connector. The second one was made between 2004 and 2008, and has a DVI-D connector.
If you have the display with an ADC connector, then according to this Apple page, your display will work with your MacBook Pro if it’s a 13-inch or 15-inch model. If you have a first-generation MacBook Pro, you’d need an Apple DVI to ADC Adapter (or equivalent) to connect them. If you have a Unibody or Retina MacBook Pro, then you’d also need a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter (or equivalent) to complete the connection. A Retina model would also have the option of using a third-party HDMI to DVI-D adapter to complete the connection with the DVI to ADC adapter.
If you have the display with a DVI-D connector, then if you have a first-generation MacBook Pro, you should be able to plug it in directly. If you have a Unibody or Retina MacBook Pro, then the Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter would let you make the connection. Again, Retina models also would have the option of using a third-party HDMI to DVI-D adapter.

External DVD rw, will it work with Mac mini 1.83 intel duo 2....NEW USER

Hi
I bought a refurb mini 1.83 dual core 2 last week it has leopard installed, but no superdrive I have an external dvd rw via USB2 will this work with Leopard I dont have any drivers for it(BUT ITS MAC COMPATABLE), but after reading some questions in this forum I am lead to believe it will just work...is this truue? also will it work with Idvd ?
Thanks for your help
BRAND NEW MAC USER !

Without knowing the make and model of the drive it's impossible to tell for sure if it will work, but more than likely it will if the drive is claimed to be Mac compatible. You may need to download the free utility 'Patchburn' from http://www.patchburn.de/ because some drives require it. Try if without first however, and you may find that the drive works natively in the Finder and iDVD. If not, install Patchburn and test it out.
