How many large screens can I run on a Mac Mini?

We have several Mac Mini's around the network running large HD "TVs" without issue. However, I have a new install that requires two of the 40" screens running in a mirrored view. The Mini will be running Windows 7 32-bit (Sorry). Will the current generation of Mini handle two of these? What dongles would I need?
Thanx...Jon

How many apple tvs can i run at once

i want to set up a trade show booth with apple tvs and a mac mini. how many apple tvs can i run off a mac mini? i want to run different slideshows.

Pretty sure that one device (the mini) will only be able to interact with one Apple TV. At best you might be abel to connect to multiple ATVs but they would all run the same content. (and I have my doubts about that)
You can use the mini and multiple Apple TV's to watch different content, indeed you can only watch different content although you can listen to the same content. For the avoidance of doubt different includes the same content but not in sync.

How many iPhones & iPads can I run from the same Apple ID

My family now have 2 iPhones 2 iPads & an iTouch - I only have 1 apple ID and up until now have linked all the devices to this ID but now the iMessage & Facetime are all linked together so when I text my wife it also comes up in my sons iPad mini & all the other devices. Can I run more than 1 device from the same Apple ID?

Obviously you can. I don't think that's what you meant to ask... Would you care to clarify?
The maximum number of iDevices that can use a single Apple ID is 10, by the way.

How many hard drives can i stream from one mac for apple tv

Hi a newbie to all this ive got a 500gb external hd and running out of space but am looking to buy a 1tb but i want to set it up as im using both hard drives so i get 1.5tb as this is a cheaper option for me is this possible and how
many thanks for your time

You need to turn off the option to copy content to the iTunes folder in iTunes preferences, then when you add new content to iTunes you will need to place the content on one of the HDDs and then drag and drop it onto iTunes from a finder window.
Or you can alternatively leave the "Copy" option on and simply press the Alt-key when dragging and dropping content to momentarily suspend the "Copy" of the dragged content to the library. (I.e., iTunes will gladly manage both copied and non-copied content as long as you do not move or delete the non-copied files at the Finder level after adding them to the iTunes database.)

How many hard drives can i install in my mac pro

How do I know what size hard drives I can install? I currently have 4 x 2TB drives installed and am looking to go bigger. 4 x 4TB would be ideal and if you have suggestions on which drives might give me best performance for HD video editing that would be nice too.
Also can I install more RAM?
ere is some information to help.

How many RAID drives can one use in a MAC Pro?

I know the question sounds simple. I have a Mac Pro with four matched drives (purchased specifically to do RAID). I want speed over everything else with these drives, and use a automated backup every night to create an external bootable backup, and once a week to do another, so I am comfortable with using all four internals for RAID. Also I have had my Mac for several months and have tried several configurations. I also used software raid in my old windows workstation (2 drives), Here is the reason for my question. In the Mac, as I have gone beyond 2 drives, I have noticed lots of speed, but issues with slowdowns when dealing with drives out of the raid set, 2 drives is fast and very stable, and "normal". 3 drives is noticably faster but has problems communicating with the single, fourth drive and external drives. 4 drives were tried early on and had problems, but that was long enough ago that I am not sure what was going on. My question: I assume that the four drives in the Mac operate on two SATA busses. Is there any reason, other than perhaps a my own hardware or install problem (ie, not a Mac limitation), that should prevent me from using all 4 drives in a single Mac disk utility software raid? has anyone done this? I want to consider this one more time before i consider the machine to be in its "final setup". Side point: Doing all the installs I have done to experiment with these questions has made me very comfortable with the Mac, and I am probably much further along in my "PC to Mac" transition that I ever would have been otherwise. Oh, on that line, BOOT CAMP is not being used, so that does not factor into the question. I certainly appreciate the consideration anyone would give to this post.

Thank you, in fact I am using Seagates, but they are 320GB, and were specifically the "NS" series that are designated bt Seagate as being for this kind of work, and 24-7 use. Then I found out how great the Mac sleep works, and my drives get less spin time than my PC drives did! But it had occurred to me that it was perhaps a drive issue. I will go to Seagates Support, and in the meantime, leave this topic open in case anyone else has similar thoughts.
Thanks for the response!

How many airport express can I add to my network for the purpose of using the airport express to send audio signal to different rooms in the house? I'm interested I'm running about six different zones.

How many airport express can I add to my network for the purpose of using the airport express to send audio signal to different rooms in the house? I'm interested I'm running about six different zones.
What I'm looking to do is to have self powered in ceiling speakers in every room in my house with out having to run wires to every room to carry the audio signal. I would like to use the airport express to do the job of carting the audio signal.
Here's my set up now I have an airport extreme and one airport express that I use to carry audio to one room.

FWIW. I have used up to four AirPort Express Base Stations (AX) for streaming sucessfully in pretty much the way you have described. I didn't have a need to try more so I can't attest that more would or would not work.

How many internal HDs can I add to my G4 AGP tower?

Hi all,
How many internal HDs can I add into my G4 tower? I want to buy and use a SATA controller PCI card to break the 137 mb barrier and add 3 or more hds for my graphics art files, video and music files. Sort like a server right?
Thanks
web dude

Hi, Web dude -
What do you mean by this? They have power packs plugged to them and they're plugged in a strip?
Yes.
The firewire bus is designed to be able to provide power for use by an attached device, in addition to providing a data pathway. There is a limit as to how much power can be provided by that bus. Such power is used by the device to operate its mechanics - in the case of a firewire hard drive, to run the motor that spins the platter(s) in the drive.
Many, if not most, firewire devices can also be powered by using a separate power supply, often an external transformer although some may have that transformer built in. This necessitates a separate connection to line power, typically to an outlet on a power strip or surge suppressor strip.
When I ordered each of my firewire drives, I also ordered the optional power supply for it. This makes each drive non-dependent on the Mac for operating power.
How should I prevent over heating my G4?
As far as keeping a Mac from overheating, the primary defense is to keep it clean inside. Dust is both an insulator and a restrictor of airflow. Using canned air regularly to blow dust out of the inside of the Mac, and to clean its fans, goes a long way to keeping it from overheating. Using a vacuum cleaner is not recommended - it's too easy for the nozzle to bang into something, and the airflow going into a plastic nozzle can create static electricity, which you do not want around any printed circuit board.
Keep the machine itself adequately ventilated - it needs a reasonably unrestricted supply of fresh air. If you place the tower on the floor or under a desk, make sure there are several inches of free space between the case and any obstructions. Usually, keeping it on a desktop reduces the amout of dust it will ingest.
In addition, whenever possible use external power for a device - this applies to firewire and USB devices.
Hard drives generate a fair amount of heat. G4 desktop models are designed to accommodate up to four internal hard drives, though it is possible to install more than that. If you go beyond four internal drives in a G4, consider replacing the fans with ones with a larger capacity to handle the increased heat load.
If you replace the CPU, be sure you follow the instructions with the new one re making sure the heat sink on the new processor is installed correctly.

How many mails i can send at a time per day using APEX mail system?

Hi jfosteroracle,
You are getting the error may be the following reason,
Check the following,
Login as ADMIN and Goto -->Manage Instance-->Instance Settings--> Mail-->Maximum Emails per workspace
Actually this number denotes the Number of mails can be sent per 24 hour for the workspace,It may exceeded.
It may be the reason.
Thank you.

I dropped my macbook pro and the screen is broken can i still use it with an external monitor? Or can I or how do I transfer hard drive files to my mac mini?

I dropped my 17" macbook pro and the screen is broken. Can I still use it with an external monitor? When I plugged it into a monitor I had used it with before, I'm not able to see anything on the macbook screen to control it. It came on but I just got the blue screen with nothing else after typing in my password. (Didn't see the password form just assumed it was there somewhere and it did go from space to blue screen but no desktop icons, files, dock strip at top or anything else, just blank blue screen) so I can't access the system preferences.
Or can I / or how do I, transfer hard drive files to my mac mini? If not salvageable as is can I pull out the hard drive and make it an external harddrive? In otherwords is anything salvageable? It seems it's coming on I just can't access anything. BTW I was told it would cost aprox $1000 to replace the screen! I paid almost $4000 for this thing and it was running great - makes me sick to lose it!

I'd like to promise you that everything will be fine if you just get the monitor going - but it's hard to know what the hardware damage might be. It might be the monitor, or the damage might be greater.
Your best solution would be visit your local Apple Store and let them know what your situation is. They have access to diagnostics you don't, and they might be able to the best way to save your data and keep you computing. It's still not covered, but they can tell you what your current options are.
Um, you might consider investing in a backup drive.
And there other repair options, too. Powerbook Medic http://www.powerbookmedic.com/xcart1/pages.php?pageid=67 offers reliable repairs, and quotes prices well under Apple's.

How many motions tweens can you have on a timeline?

I'm a college student in Seattle. We just had our mid-terms in Flash CS5. One of the really simple questions was "How many motion tweens can you have on a timeline." Yup. The answer is one...... or is it? I had a long discussion with my tutor (who is the greatest tutor in the world) and he wanted to think about it. I said to him that I thought that one motion tween was wrong because you can click on an object in the timeline, make it a motion tween, and double click it and make several motion tweens. So, essentially, you can have more than one motion tween on a timeline. Is anyone able to advise me because this is all about grades!

You can have quite a few motion tweens on a timeline. You can even have them happening simultaneously (I don't know of a specific limit), as long as they are all on their own layers. Though the more you add simultaneously the more they can weigh down the speed of things running.
If you need to prove this to someone, the easiest way is to create it and demonstrate it. But you may want to check the exact wording of the question... it would not be beyond an examiner to throw a trick question in.
