The 2012 Mac Mini's are listed on this article. Can I run windows 7 64-bit on it and/or the 32-bit?

I would buy nothing less than Windows 7 64-bit Pro.
32-bit only addresses 3.5 GB RAM ... 2012 Macminis can hold 16 GB.
64-bit Home addresses 16 GB RAM.
64-bit Pro addresses 192 GB RAM and han an XP mode.
This is all about having a good version of Windows for future use. Yu can buy "Syem Builder" version of 64-bit Pro for $140.

Does the 2012 Mac mini come with iWork?

Does the 2012 Mac mini come with iWork?

Can I download iWork? Or could I just download Microsoft office from the Microsoft website so I don't have to buy a disk drive?

HT1379 my internet connection is incredibly slow - I know it is not the fault of the modem as other devices are fast. This article was suggested to me as a solution. I think they were just trying to get me off their back. Anyone else experience this?

If Safari is getting very slow:
(Presumably you regularly empty your Safari cache by deleting the following file:
Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/cache.db
and clear your History)
Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security, (including anti-phishing and redirects) (Full information about Open DNS is here: http://www.opendns.com/home-solutions ) and further independent information can be read here:
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57338784-263/free-dnscrypt-tool-enhances-ma c-web-security/?tag=mncol;txt
and here:
http://www.macworld.com/article/1146064/troubleshootdns.html?t=234
If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2296
If your computer is part of a network:please refer to this page: http://www.opendns.com/start/best_practices/#your_network and follow the advice given.
If you use a Router, make sure it has the latest firmware installed.
One reason for a slowness in page loading may be the 'DNS Pre-fetching' feature of Safari 5.x as is described here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3408?viewlocale=en_US
You can cancel DNS pre-fetching by going to Terminal and typing:
defaults write com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled -boolean false
You have to restart Safari for it to take effect.
If Safari seems to hang for ages:
If you have a lot of tabs open and/or a lot of pages running Flash, Safari can sometimes 'hang', requiring a restart of Safari. This can often be inconvenient, and as it is rarely Safari itself that is hanging but merely one of its plug-ins, usually Flash, there is a way using Terminal to restart the plug-ins (without restarting Safari and losing your tabs) by quitting the WebPluginHost process:
Open the Terminal from the Utilities folder in /Applications and type
killall -9 WebKitPluginHost
Note that this command kills all Safari plug-ins, not just Flash. All plug-ins should start back up when you reload the page.
Then go back to Safari and refresh any pages that were using the Flash plug-in. This also fixes the Beachball of Death. Try this whenever Safari gets slow or freezes. The later versions of Flash 10.1 onwards appear to have improved the situation somewhat, but haven't completed eliminated it.
For this and other reasons Apple switched their websites to HTML5 in January 2011:

I would like to use my early 2008 imac as an external monitor in the 2012 mac mini

I would like to use my early 2008 imac (MB325LL/A) as an external monitor for the late 2012 mac mini,(not ordered yet). Is this possible in any manner? The iMac utilizes mini-DVI output, thus my hopes are not too good.
Thanks,

Latest OS X update for the 2012 Mac Mini.

How can I import my IE8 bookmarks/favorites into Safari if I only have access to the data stored on my old hard drive? I can't run Windows to export them to an html file.

My old PC died and I replaced it with a MacBook Pro. Although I was able to copy the data from the PC's hard drive, I am unable to export my previous bookmarks/favorites to an html file because that PC won't boot. Is there any other way to import them into Safari using the raw data stored on that drive or convert them somehow to a format I can import?

You can only use a JSON backup to restore all bookmarks in Firefox.<br />
If you need to import Firefox bookmarks in Safari then you need to (re)install Firefox and export the bookmarks to an HTML file.

If an iPad 2 and iPod touch are both on ios6, why can videos be watched in Facebook on one and not the other?

Flash seems to be at issue here but it doesn't make sense, they are both on same ios

Sometimes what I've experienced is that my iPad can access the regular site of a web page, if the site has a mobile version, my touch will default to the mobile version, where things may be optimized for iDevices.
Try looking up in the address bar of the site in question and see if there's a www.m. in the address.
Some of them I literally can't get the regular site on my Touch, mobile site only.

HT4854 Mac App store won't let me re-download Mountain Lion on a Late 2012 Mac mini, says computer is incompatible.

I have a brand new late-2012 Mac mini running 10.8.2. I'm trying to re-download ML from the App Store to create a bootable USB recovery key just in case. I'm being told that I can't DL Mountain Lion because my computer isn't compatible. How can that be?!
Part of the reason I want this key is the fact that I just jumped through 5,000 hoops to recover Mid-2011 MacBook Air from the recovery partition. The installation kept giving me an error. EXTREMELY annoying. I had no key. It set me back a few days. I don't want this problem to happen again.
I have a valid purchase, I own the software, I should be able to download it, period.

Well said.
If I follow the advice of the fellow above and download the installer via Internet Recovery, I'm not going to be given access to the installer for the sake of making my key—or will I? At want point in that workflow will I have the opportunity to boot to back into my already working OS (on the 2012 mini) in order to do what I need to do?
I have access to a most recent release (2012) 13" MacBook Air (FWIW, the 2011 MacBook Air in question above happens to be an 11"). Am I likely to run into the same problem as with the 2012 Mac mini, where the version in the App Store still hasn't been "synced"?
Unbelievably annoying. Worse still is while I'm stuck in self-help purgatory, if something were to happen the recommendation would be to visit the Genius Bar. It's not a bad service, but why should I have to rely on it if I'm perfectly capable of taking care of everything myself provided the correct tools are at hand?
Incidentally, what happened with the 2011 MacBook Air is that the stock hard drive was formatted prior to sale. The recovery partition was left intact. I used it to begin the reinstallation of the OS. It was working fine until I realized I didn't have enough time at the moment to continue to download the required assets. The computer needed to be transported 200 miles away and time was of the essence.
I cancelled the installation with the intention of revisiting it when I got to my destination. When I did so, even after freshly formatting the drive again in Disk Utility, I got an error right as the download began. No amount of tries made a difference. Same error. The only thing that will work, obviously, is a USB key or the equivalent with the installation files pre-downloaded—unless someone here has some other insight.
Thanks so much to all.

2011 or 2012 Mac Mini

Hi Folks,
I need to move fairly qiuckly on this. I am looking to upgrade from an 2008 imac to a 2012 mac mini. My mac provider has offfered me a 2011 see spec below
Mac Mini, Manufactured March 2012, 2.3Ghz Intel Core i5, 4GB of Ram / 500GB HD.
Now is it worth paying out the extra 200 euro for a brand new 2012? I keep coming articles where its saying the 2011 has faster integrated graphics than the 2012. What exactly deos 'integrated Graphics' mean? I do graphic design as a living and the reason I am upgradign is that CS6 is killing my imac, so will CS6 suffer on the 2012 mac mini?

An integrated graphic card is just a graphic card that uses the memory of your computer instead of having its own RAM.
FYI, the HD3000 or HD4000 integrated graphics actually
share real estate on the same chip as the CPU, i.e.
integrated. There have been many discrete graphics
chips that share system memory with the 2010 Mini
as an example as quoted from spec sheet:
"NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics processor with 256MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory"
Therefore, just using system memory does not make
a graphics solution "integrated".
Since an integrated graphics solution shares the same chip
real estate as the CPU, there are a lot of limitations that have to
be made in performance because of this.

10.8.2 Not Compatible with my 2012 Mac Mini?

I just purchased a Mac Mini to run some hardware in my graphic design studio...I purchased it last week (Nov 2012) and I just got around to implementing it with our equipment. So I get prompted for an update in the App Store and attempt to update but one of them fails saying I need 10.8.2. I thought I had the latest...but anyway...I go to update the OSX to 10.8.2 and I get a notification that it is not compatible with my computer?
Can you someone please tell me why this case? I would have thought a 1 week old computer would be very compatible with the latest OSX?
2.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i7
4GB memory
1TB hard drive1
Intel HD Graphics 4000
OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1)

Late 2012 mac mini display signal drops while booting and monitor goes to sleep

I have a new Late 2012 Mac Mini. I have had it for a week, what just started happening is that during restart, the video signal drops and my monitor goes to sleep. I then have to toggle through the input options on the monitor and the video signal is detected again and the monitor wakes up.
Here is what I see - If i shut down and then power back up, I get the grey screen, then the apple logo, then the little status circle spins for a few cycles then stops and then the screen goes black and the monitor says signal lost and then 5 seconds later goes to sleep.
It is possible it is my monitor but, I haven't had any issues with it and i only drops the signal like that during a reboot.

Welcome to the family. Search this forum for the main thread for this problem titled: "mac mini 2012 video blinking out".

2012 mac mini does not boot when usb 3 drive is connected

I have a late 2012 Mac Mini, Ivy Bridge, that has a USB 3.0 external hard drive connected to it. If the hard drive is powered on when I power up the Mac Mini, I get a light grey screen, but never see the Apple logo and the system just sists there. If I boot the Mac Mini with the USB 3.0 drive connected, but powered off, the Mac Mini boots just fine. Interestingly enough, if I reboot the Mac Mini with the USB 3.0 hard drive attached, the Mac Mini boots normally. I have installed all of the OS patches I can find and have not had any luck in resolving this. Does anyone have an idea what might be going on?

Something to check. Power everything down. Turn on
your external drives then do a PRAM zap booting the MIni.
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11243
It may or may not help.
If it doesn't, then check the system log starting from the time
you start up the Mini and see what the last entry was. Wait a fair
amount of time so a gap in time in the log can be seen when you turn
the drive off. Could determine if it is some hardware issue, as BDAqua
was suggesting, or a driver issue.

Is the new mac mini $799 320GB HD a 7200 RPM or 5400?

Is the new mac mini $799 320GB HD a 7200 RPM or 5400?
Meaning is it actually bigger and faster than the $599 or just bigger?

I forgot where, but I read a website where they benchmarked that the 320GB was a bit faster due to having 2 platters. In real-world terms though I don't think most people would notice the speed difference.
If you got one of those fancy Solid State Drives heh...

Hi there,
The simplest way is to drag it across wirelessly using the 'Airdrop' application once both computers are near one another. 'Airdrop' can be found near the top, on the left hand side menu, within 'Finder'.
