How to run sage on a mac mini

Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • How to run external drives w/ mac mini

    Hi, I recently bought a mac mini and I have two external hard drives hooked up to it. One for time machine and the other for photos.
    When I looked up this topic and did a search I found conflicting answers but I know so little about this...maybe I just don't understand.
    Here is the question: should I leave the external hard drives hooked up 24/7 even through restart etc... or am I supposed to unplug them? Unplugging seems like it defeats the purpose of time machine. On the other hand I don't want to ruin any equipment. What is the standard practice?
    Thanks.

    I'll vouch for the 'get hot'. As in play a dvd for an hour and then take it out hot. Who needs a heater unit with multiple drives going?
    I generally set the Time Machine to OFF and leave it there. Just before and after I add or subtract something significant, I hit Command key and the dock's Time Machine Icon together and choose the backup now function. Now I have a record of Before and After the event. (I also keep a physical log book of what events were changed day/time so if I need to turn the clock back to a specific event I know where to go rather than hunt and peck.)
    ps. the less you let Time Machine make a backup any time IT feels like it, the longer your MB space will last.
    Also, if you can keep your Time Machine backups and other storage saves to just before you are shutting down your system anyway, you can just turn off the drives after the computer is shut down. I learned to do this because my firewire Western Digital MY BOOK drive would only go to sleep mode otherwise even with the computer off.

  • How can I control my my mac mini with my macbook air (no wifi)?

    How can I control my my mac mini with my macbook air (no wifi)? Also...what is the best method (less lag) for screen sharing? 
    I own a mac mini Quad Server 2.0 i7 and I use it for audio production.  It's great but I need to travel with it. I was hoping some form of screen sharing could be useful using the macbook air to control the mac mini.  Therefore, I'd be using the stronger processor of the mac mini but would still be using the keyboard and trackpad from the air. 
    My two problems: 
    1.  I can't depend on wifi to make this happen. Wifi is not always available when travleing.  What would be the best way to configure a LAN connection?
    2.  The less lag the better for screen sharing.  Which apps are fastest?
    Thanks in advance.

    Both of your devices have WiFi built in. Here is Apple Support's solution:

  • I was able to copy all my files from my Time Capsule, but that is all they are...files. How do I get my new Mac Mini to emulate my other Mac?

    I was able to copy all my files from my Time Capsule, but that is all they are...files. How do I get my new Mac Mini to emulate my other Mac?

    Doggiemommie,
    Copying files is not a good idea.
    The "other Mac" was backed up onto Time Capsule using the Time Machine. On your new Mac you should restore the old user - rather than copy files manually.
    This usually happens during the initial setup of the new computer or you can do it later using Migration Assistant.
    Please note, it is possible to damage backup file on the Time Capsule when you browse it and copy files manually.
    Hope this explains.

  • How do i connect my new mac mini to the thunderbolt display

    how do i connect my new mac mini to the thunderbolt displa,  It arrives tomorrow?

    It has a built-in Thunderbolt cable, see here: http://www.apple.com/displays/specs.html
    So assuming your mini has a thunderbolt port (you said it's new so I assume it does), you'd just plug the display's thunderbolt cable into the mini's Thunderbolt port.

    Composite is analogue with one connector. That is why it is called composite
    Component is analogue with three connections. I think one for each color
    Here is the one for component. I misread composite for component

    My comment is Valid...  " .exe files will not run natively on Mac OS X..."
    I am sorry. I had the false impression that it was commonly known that .exe files did not run on Mac OSX natively and failed to see any constructive critique you were bringing. Maybe I am wrong. Again deepest apologies.
    Unfortunately... these days... not every one is aware of this .exe  fact..

    No idea if Windows will do it, but you can run Windows without Bootcamp & have OSX available at the same time, which should give you all the Monitors that OSX uses.

    I sopped by the apple store with my Mac book air.  It worked well.   I took it home still same problem I have two wireless networks Uverse and AirPort Extreme.  My iMac was connected to the Uverse and the MacBook Air and Mac mini was connected to the Airport. When I connect all three to the Uverse everything works well. When I connect any one to the AirPort it is very slow. It worked fine with the old OS but not with the new OS. Is look like problem is with the AirPort Extreme and the new OS.
