If I buy FCPX for my Mac Mini, can I install it on my Daughter Macbook Air?

FCPX multiple install

Family Sharing may apply, and if that is the case she can legally use FCP X under your license.
One user (you) sets up Family Sharing, and invites other family members. I don't know if it is required that your daughter lives with you or not.
I do know that Family Sharing allows up to six family members and that they can all legally use the purchases by the family organizer (you).

You will need to Purchase the iPad Version.
The Mac uses the OS X platform and the iPad uses the iOS platform.
They are not interchangeable

My wife and i both have an itunes library installed on to our separate pc's, we are now de-commissioning the pc's and are moving over to a single mac mini, can we install both libraries on to the mac mini and run them as separate libraries?

Generally YES.
It's possible to hold separate iTunes library's on a single machine.
Generate two new folders inside the Music folder of the Mini and name them differently; e.g. man and woman.
Copy your whole library into "man" and your wifes into "woman"
Go to sharing in the system settings of the Mini and share the Music folder in your network.
After copying the whole library's to the Mini you may point iTunes to the new location at startup by holding the option key (alt) at the keyboard.
iTunes will then ask you where the library is located.
Point it to the matching library on the Mini.
That's all.

PS ... If you both use only the Mini you have to setup a user account for each and just copy the whole library to the Music folder in particular.

i downloaded iWork 09 on my mac mini - how do install it on my two MacBooks?

If you purchased Pages, Numbers or Keynote in the Mac App Store, you can install these applications for free on your other two computers. In them, open the App Store, go to Purchases tab and download them for free. Your MacBooks must be running OS X Lion or Mountain Lion

Mac Mini 10.4 install disk work with a macbook?

Hello All,
Will my Mac Mini 10.4 install disk work with a Macbook? I believe the model is either a MB061LL/A or MB062LL/A.
Thank You in advance!

Yes, and possibly the system that disc can install is not Intel compatible. It would have to be a late 2006 model, which was the start of the Intel series of Minis.

If I have purchased OS X 10.7 for my Mac Mini, do I have to purchase it again for my Mac Book?

I have a Mac Mini that I have purchased OS X Lion for and I have a Mac Book that I want to update to Mountain Lion, but it still has Leopard running on it so I have to get Lion before I can upgrade to Mountain Lion. The question is since I already bought Lion for my Mac Mini can I download it to my Mac Book without paying again.

By opening the Mac App Store, logging in with an Apple ID used to purchase it, clicking on the Purchases tab, and downloading it from there.

Where can I buy a replacement DVD drive for a mac mini A1347

My mac mini is out of warranty and my toddler stuffed several discs into the drive slot.
Whenever it booted, it made a horrible ratcheting clicking noise, but couldn't eject anything.
I disassembled the entire computer, and pulled all 3 discs out with pliers. After reassembling, the computer works fine, but the DVD drive won't "catch" a disc and pull it in. I'm pretty sure some gear or something has been irreparably damaged, or that I bent it as I was pulling the disc out.
I've been having a difficult time trying to find a replacement drive to order anywhere.
Besides going with an external USB drive, does anyone know of the cheapest option for a replacement slot drive for the mac mini A1347. (AKA "mid 2010", AKA Core 2 Duo DDR3).
I don't want to haul it down to an Apple Store and pay a huge premium to have them diagnose and replace a part that I'm very capable of doing myself.
-John

If your in the US then the ifixit link is a good option, in the UK the following is an option

However when I had to replace a drive in a Mac mini, I bought a bare drive off eBay.

Considering buying the entry-level Mac Mini 2.5GHz as HTPC

I'm considering buying the entry-level Mac Mini 2.5GHz to hook up to a 42" LG HDTV Model LS5700. Does anyone know if the picture will appear really blurry with this set up? I will also use this as my main device for storing music, photos, etc. I mainly use my iPad or work laptop for internet browsing and I have a 'vintage' Macbook Pro as backup.

I have been using an entry level 2011 Mac mini (using hdmi) with a Sony 60", Sony 46", and LG 23" (I think it is). All perfectly clear with no issues. The Mac Mini is a great home theatre machine. The enrty level is all you need for that - - except, I upgraded to 8GB memory.

Can I use my old 2008 mac as the display unit for a Mac mini

Can I use my old 2008 20 inch mac as a display for a Mac mini as an option instead of buying a new I mac?
I need a better graphics card and more Ram but happy with the display.

Hi Yinka,
You'd first have to set up something like this on the Mini...

Wait for 2013 Mac Mini or get a new iMac?

Mac Mini's seem a lot better value as you're not paying for the monitor and they are also a lot better to update.
The iMac doesn't allow you to update hardware yourself really.
Mac Mini's are due the update. I'm thinking to wait as the fastest processor at the cheapest price is quite important to me. Also the Mac Mini has been out for 1 year today.
I could buy an Mac Mini in the time being and take it back in 14 days if it's not to speed and then buy a iMac to see the difference myself in speed, while I'm waiting for the mac Mini. I could possibly even try both that way and maybe i'll just fall in love with the iMac and hopefully the new mac Mini will be released in the time being.
I know the Mac Mini's processor will be slower but the latest one will no doubt be an i7 which will no doubt be fast. Also worried about overheating with the mac mini.
What should I do?

One way or another you are paying for the monitor whether you get a Mac mini, an iMac, a Powerbook, or a Mac Pro. The difference is can you replace the monitor and the CPU separately or do you have to replace them as a unit. I have used iMacs for years and loved them, but some months ago I switched to a Mac mini with an Apple Thunderbolt monitor. Upgradability is not the forte of any Mac short of the Mac Pro and its upgradability is almost entirely from external devices. Only Apple knows what the next iMac and Mac mini will be like, but the new new Mac Pro demonstrates what Apple's engineers are thinking of.
That said, not even the rumor sites are saying anyghing about a new Mac mini so I would not hold my breath waiting on a new one. So if you need and/or want a Mac mini, now is as probably as good a time as any to get one. My 2.6GHz i7 with a 1.1TB Fusion drive, 16GB of RAM and a 27" Tunderbolt monitor is proving to be a very good and reliable machine. Fast enough that I have never felt any speed constraints. The biggest limiting factor is probably the video, but I am not into RPG or other heavy duty game use so that is not a problem. FWIW I ended up spending roughly the same amount on the fully tricked out Mac mini with the TB monitor as a comprarably equipped iMac. I will get well financially in a few years when I buy another faster and more powerful Mac mini, or maybe even a Mac Pro if I am feeling really flush at the time.
By the way when I do upgrade I already have plans to use my current Mac mini as a "headless" file server tucked away in a closet somewhere.

Comfortable spec for multimedia mac mini??

Hi all, first post here!
Having been converted to Apple by my Macbook Pro, I'm looking to buy a second user Mac mini as an av device - I'd like to replace my networked Kiss DVD player. I'd like it to function as a DVD player and burner, to record TV shows via EyeTV, and play media files from an NAS server, with occasional web browsing. It should have enough power to play a DVD or media file and also record with EyeTV at the same time. In an ideal world it would be capable of H264 HD file playback without any issues.
What sort of spec should I look for? Do I really need a new dual core mini?
Any advice appreciated!
Chris

Since you did not specify specify your model Mini try looking here:

What is "native resolution" for my mac mini G4?

I'm going to buy a 22" Samsung monitor with 1920 x 1080 resolution specs for the mac mini, PPC G4 model. I realize the resolution can be adjusted on the computer, and I need the refresh rate lower than the specified 154mhz limit for "cohesive" monitors. That aside, I remember a term "native resolution for the Mac" and I'm thinking this is, for comparison sake, where the mac should display to make text on a word processing document look 1:1 life size. Also, it will make 1" of graphics appear on 1" of the screen. Am I correct?
I'm wondering because when I run the Samsung monitor at 1920 x 1080, will I end up with tiny, scaled-down graphics and text? And, if so, will there be an ideal resolution to adjust the monitor to?
Hope I'm not too clueless on this.... I haven't used a large monitor in some time and don't remember where my 19" CRT used to be set!
Thanks much for help!

cocteau3,
You may be confusing native with default. The G3 desktop would default to 640 by 480 if you zapped the PRAM. You then went into monitors and sound to increase the resolution to what ever the monitor would support and the onboard video port would support.
Before the days of multi-sync monitors, the resolution was fixed for each monitor. Until the Mac II, you had a fixed resolution monitor built in. With the introduction of the NUBUS card, you could buy a card with support for a larger display that was also a fixed resolution.
The Mac IIcx had no onboard video. You bought a NUBUS card for what ever monitor size you wanted. The card and monitor usually came together. With the Mac IIci, in an almost identical case, you had an onboard video port plus the option to add up to three nubus video cards. Native for that onboard video port was now based on the maximum number of pixels that could be supported at thousands of colors or millions of colors. If you wanted millions of colors, you had to add more VRAM or reduce the matrix from 1024 by 748 to 640 by 480. Some games had to be at 256 colors because that is how they were programmed. If you wanted 1024 by 768, you had to settle for thousands of colors, or less color depth than millions. It was simply math. How much math could the computer video port handle?
At our store, in 1999, we had a Quadra 950 set up with five displays. The onboard video would only support 640 by 480 if you wanted millions of colors. That was the native size. Increase the image area (or monitor size) and you decreased the image size. By having four NUBUS cards installed, you could have five monitors connected at once. It was very easy to demonstrate that a 20" monitor could display 640 by 480 and have large text - viewable by the visually impared. A second 20" monitor was set for 1152 by 870 and the text was tiny. Also displayed was a 17" multi-sync that could change resolution.
With the advent of muti-resolution monitors, the idea of 'native resolution' has been replaced by 'supported resolutions.' A monitor may have a default setting but if it is multi-sync, there is no such thing as native. Just factory default. Set any size and frequency you like, so long as that frequency is supported.
This is the best historical link I found:
http://www.proaxis.com/~ferris/docs/dpi-monitor.html
Note that 72dpi was convertable to typesetting because of that long forgotten concept of desktop publishing.
Finally, you can have a large display set at 1600 x 1200 to display many windows and have one window zoomed in to show text at 200%. So many variables that native is not as useful as twenty years ago.

Need advice on a monitor for my mac mini

Hi,
I am going to buy a monitor for my mac mini.
I had been using a CRT monitor with my PC.
I guess LCD monitors are the norm these days.
Can someone recommend a monitor size and other details which I must look for before buying a monitor?
My computer runs 24 hours a day. There is very little downtime.
I am not looking for something flashy. I am looking for a monitor which gets the job done.
I am not into graphical/video editing though I will be viewing a lot of photos/movies/mp4/avi movies on it.

Almost any LCD monitor that will accept a digital signal, via a dvi cable, will work. With digital, the computer doesn't have to convert the video signal to analog, so what you see is a bit crisper. Many LCD monitors will accept both analog and digital video inputs. I have a Samsung 19" 904BW LCD monitor - a basic model, not too expensive, accepts digital or analog signals (I use digital from my mini), which is a good display.
Some LCD monitors come with speakers built in, which can be a plus if desk space is at a premium.
You should go to a store to view the various LCD monitors available - see what you like, what appeals to you. Note that sometimes LCD monitors come with dead pixels, and some vendors have a minimum number of dead pixels required before they will exchange the monitor. The recommendation above to buy from someplace with a good return policy should be considered when buying an LCD monitor.

How do I use my 26" Polaroid FLM-2601 Television as a montor for my mac mini?

How do I use my 26" Polaroid FLM-2601 Television as a montor for my mac mini? I keep getting "no signal" for every resolution and refresh rate I've tried both for VGA and DVI settings (listed in the back of the manual for the polaroid tv and a few people posted online).
I plug the VGA cable into my old monitor, changing the settings and move the VGA input cable to the TV, (direct to VGA in or thru a VGA to DVI adaptor) and so far thru either input I only get a black screen with "No Signal - VGA Input" or "No Signal - DVI Input" displayed, so then I go back to the old monitor, try another resolution/refresh rate and try the TV again. This can't be the best way to do this - plus I'm out of resolution options.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Go to System Preferences>Displays. Change the settings to your desire.
