Intel Core Solo mini to icloud?

I have an old intel core solo mini that I just recently upgraded to snow leopard. I am confused and lost on what will happen if I sit idle on this icloud thing. I don't have an iphone or need to sync anything, but I do use my .me email account and have a website thru iweb.
Can anyone tell me what I will lose when the final move comes down for icloud? Is iweb still safe and secure? What all is attached to my .me account anyway? I COULD do without that email account and begin a migration to another email resource. I really don't want to have to put a lot of money into upgrading this mini if it's simply securing an email account/calendar/etc. Like I said I don't need any syncing resources at this time. I just spent $130 on the box set for snowleopard 6 months ago.
help!

I forgot I use iphoto as well. I guess I'm just confused on what I will be able to do on this computer without icloud. If I got a new computer with icloud, I'm supposing I can migrate all my data over. Realize I've had this one computer since 2006 without a single problem! I'd hoped to have it forever!!!
Is there anyway to upgrade this old thing or am I looking at buying a newer version?
I have several windows laptops, but I'm assuming I can't access iweb and iphoto from them.
Sorry if I sound ignorant, I guess I am when it comes to all this!
Thanks in advance!

System hanging in AM intel core solo mini

Okay, I've been a mac user for a zillion years, but this is new.
When I come in in the morning I have the login screen, but when I try to enter my password, the cursor turns to the wait icon, and spins and spins.
I have to shutdown to get back to normal.
Any thoughts? I do have bootcamp on this machine, but up and running in osx.

I'm a complete Mac nubie and I'm running into the same problem with a Mini core duo. If I leave it at a login screen for an extended period of time I either...
1) Have no response to keyboard or mouse. I have found that if I suspend the unit by holding the power button momentarily I can log in after I resume.
2) I have mouse response and after clicking on my user account the "busy" color wheel just spins indefinitely. From there I have to do a hard reset.
The Mini is pretty much just out of the box and I'm using a wireless keyboard and mouse combo.

Mac Mini Intel Core Solo 1,5GHz won't turn on

Hi at all!
I'm in a trouble with a Mac Mini Intel Core Solo-based.
Well, when I connect power cord, after a while, Power LED self-turns on (without powering on the Mac), but Startup Chime isn't played, there aren't no video signals on screen, Optical Drive mechanics isn't initialized and no Hard disk Drive noise is audible.
I can hear only (if I put my ear on Mini's body) a bit Fan Noise (and a bit air flow on the back).
If I stay-pressing power button for 4 seconds, Mac turns off. It I re-press that button, Mac turns on again. Finally, if I long-press the power button, Mac DON'T perform PMU reset (with classical speed flashing of power led, Long beep and Startup Chime).
What can I do to fix this problem?
Thanks very much to all readers!

You're right!
I wrote PMU instead of SMU.....in fact, mine is an Intel-based Mac, and PMU is present only in PowerPC Architecture.... ^_^
Sorry for my expression error.....:)
While I'm writing..... I thought that, in my Self-repairing operations on the Mac Mini, I've also replaced the internal 3V battery (because, with a multimeter, I'd can verify that battery voltage was only 1,75V instead of near 3V). After that, I left Mac turned off for a certain interval of time (I was busy in other personal activities). So, when I turned on again the Mac (after the complete reassembly of the entire computer), the Startup chime was played and the Mac beguns to work.
Is possible that, in the Mini - Intel Core Solo 1,5GHz, a low internal battery can cause problems like in the old dear iMacs G3 ????

Streaming HD content from Intel Core Solo Mac Mini to new Apple TV

Hello,
Here is my query:
I have an Intel Core Solo Mac Mini connected to my HDTV that I use to play iTunes/DVDs etc. It does this very well. However, the processor isn't fast enough to play HD content, and it drops frames and stutters.
If I bought a new Apple TV, would that stream the HD content from the Mac Mini with no problems (as it would be the Apple TV that does the processing)?
Also, would it be recommended (or indeed possible) to connect the Apple TV to the Mac Mini via ethernet, as the Mac Mini is not Airport 801n.
If the Apple TV can play the HD content without problems, then this would extend the life of my much loved Mac Mini and would mean I wouldn't have to update to a much newer one.
Thanks for reading

HT3209 New $799 2.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 MINI cannot rent 1080

I have the new $799 2.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 MINI and I cannot rent 1080 iTunes movie, this is silly because the cheaper $599 2.5GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 meet the Spec to rent 1080 movies.. I didnt pay more to get less function.. What can Apple do to FIX this!!!!
Minimum system requirements for HD 1080p1 content
Mac system requirements for HD 1080p1 content:
Mac OS X 10.5 or later
iTunes 10.6 or later
2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo or faster processor
At least 2 GB of RAM

Since there is no option on the configuration page
in the Apple Store it is pretty obvious that you can't.

Would "parallel" run on my mac-mini Intel Core Solo

i
i have the need of using windows for school, and parallel was suggested but when reading the software requirements i notice that requires "intel core duo"
is there a version for my prcessor; is my processor about to be out of business?

I think it depends on exactly what uses you are going to put your system to when running Windows, because while Parallels runs on a Core Solo, and does so reasonably well, if your needs are for applications that would load the CPU to any great extent, I think you could find yourself a little frustrated at the lack of good performance.
In that situation, BootCamp would likely be better, since unlike Parallels, it only permits one OS to run at a time, thus you wouldn't be sharing system resources (memory and CPU power specifically) between macOS and Windows, both of which are rather demanding in that regard.
If your need for Windows is rather more casual however, Parallels should be fine, and can be improved somewhat by adding RAM.
As for your Core Solo, bearing in mind that it is more powerful than the vast majority of Macs in daily service around the world, I think it's more than adequate for most tasks. Maxing out the RAM would help, but that's as true of the Core Duos as you Solo.

Is there any way to make a Classic program run on a Intel Core Mac Mini?

My mom just got a new Mac Mini with the intel core processor and she wants to be able to run a rabit pedigree program from her ancient little mac that ran OS 7. Now it says that you can't run classic programs on the intel core processors, but is there any way to get around this? Say converting the application some how, or maybe even installing OS 9 some how as an alternate operating system or any such thing? Or should my mom just start looking for a different pedigree program and start reentering all of her information now?

Try this, UneasySilence.com has a guide on how to use SheepShaver to run Mac OS 9 on an Intel Mac.
http://www.gibix.net/dokuwiki/en:projects:sheepshaver
"Who said you can't use MacOS 9 because you have an Intel Mac? It is completely possible with a little bit of tinkering, and a really cool universal application called Sheep Shaver, which came to us via a tip from Kazaki. Sheep Shaver is a full speed 'Classic' emulator for Windows, Linux, and Intel based Macs, that runs older MacOS's at shockingly full speed!"

ISight with Core Solo Mini

Hello,
I wonder if someone knows the answer to this. My mother is in L.A. and I am in New York, and I want to get her a Mac mini Core Solo and an iSight camera so she can talk to me and my family (her grand kids). Would a base model Core Solo be able to handle the iSight camera? We're talking about straightforward one-on-one video conferencing between what would her Mac mini and my iMac. She already has an older monitor, USB keyboard and mouse, so the price point of a Core Solo and iSight camera is just perfect. iSight with iChat are the most processor intensive apps she'll be using on the computer. Has anyone tried it with a Core Solo?
iMac Core Dup 17" Mac OS X (10.4.7)

As you'll see at the bottom of this page, even a G3 can initiate a 1-to-1 video conference. A Core Solo is much more powerful than any G3, and iChat is Universal (no Rosetta emulation), so a Core Solo is more than what you need (you could even consider a 4-way chat .
If you have Cable or DSL internet then you must have at least 100 Kbps downstream (probably more), but you have to make sure that you have at least 100 Kbps upstream if you want good image & sound.

Final Cut Express-can it be run on a Core Solo mini?

Could Final Cut Express 4 be installed and used on a Core Solo Mac mini?

Yes, if it meets the minimum requirements laid out on the FCE web page. There will be some loss of functionality because of the lack of graphics card.

Advice on migrating from G5 to Intel Core Duo Mini

I'm running 10.5.8 on a G5 and wanting to migrate to a new Intel Core Duo Mac Mini running Snow Leopard. I would like to migrate all of my files and settings and applications to the new machine, but am looking for advice about potential pitfalls. I've read in some of the other discussions about problems with software from my G5 overwriting the Intel versions of the software on the newer machine, but could not glean enough from those to fully understand what the issues are. My principal software components that I don't want to have to reinstall are things like CS3, Office 2008, and older versions of things like iMovie, etc. I have a Time Machine backup that I could also migrate from, but don't know if that will alleviate potential problems. Any advice would be appreciated.

Before you jump the bandwagon, make sure to have read this user tip:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2295
Sometimes the Migration/Setup Assistant doesn't work between PowerPC and Intel Macs. The CoreDuo Mac Mini is not much of an improvement over a G5 except for the native Windows virtualization, and support for Snow Leopard, and Intel Mac only applications, and built-in Front Row support. The Core2Duo Mac Mini on the other hand supports Lion, and generally is faster than a G5 except for the few applications that are G5 optimized or can take advantage of the higher RAM upgrade possibilities than most of the Mac Minis, and the G5 supports Classic applications where the Mac Mini Intel versions do not. So before getting the Mac Mini make sure all the applications or at least some can take advantage of the Mac Minis own advantages.

Pse 8 and Intel Core Solo

I can't instal PSE 8 and then noticed that system requirements state that you have to have a multi core processor. So I thought I would go back and reinstall PSE 6 which works on my solo core computer but then I noticed that the system requirements for PSE 6 says multi core. What gives?
My question: Will PSE run on a solo core machine?
I also have a duo 2 core machine but PSE 8 won't install. I have followed all suggestions (uninstall, new admin account, etc.) Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ted

Hi Ted,
I believe we connected earlier on and your issue was resolved? If that is the case, can you please mark this thread as Answered so that we can consider it as closed?

Dell SP2309W Display on Core Solo Mini?

Hi, I'm thinking of buying the new Dell SP2309W display which looks excellent value but I'm not sure if it will work with the mini. The specification states that it is "Full HD 2048 x 1152" which I realise is greater than the 1920 x 1200 stated as the maximum supported by the mini.
My question is what will happen if I connect it by DVI? Will it scale the output to fit the screen?
Sorry if this is a dumb question but I used to know how things worked in the days of CRTs!
Thanks,
Barry

If it works at all, I doubt you will be happy with the results. LCD monitors look best when run at their full native resolution. The Mini's DVI can't drive this resolution on that monitor. At best it would "pixel-double" and run the monitor at 1024x576.
Looking at the Dell site, it isn't clear whether this monitor requires a dual-link display card to get that 2048 x 1152 resolution. Typically that would be the case. But regardless the Mini's DVI can't drive that resolution. It is possible that the Mini's VGA might be able to drive that high -- since it goes a bit farther than the DVI resolution. But I'd have to look it up.

Intel Mac Mini Core Solo - Kernel Panic on Boot

I was wondering if anyone who has purchased the Intel Mac Mini is having issues with Kernel Panics during the booting sequence?
I got a Core Solo from the local Apple store (couldn't wait to play, I'm waiting on the Core Duo I ordered online to come still ). The first thing I did was fire it up check it out for a few minutes, then I put the install disc in and reinstalled a clean OS, with less options because I'm planning on hooking it up to my TV so I don't need space hogs like Garageband etc on my TV computer. I got the updates that popped up, then shutdown the computer. I took it out to the living room and hooked it up to the tv and I got a black message about needing to restart (a kernel panic) right when the blue progress loading bar comes up on boot. I spent a while with it trying to figure out what was wrong, ran the Apple Hardware Test, booted it fine in Safe Boot. Finally I got tired of it and reinstalled the OS again.
It was fine for a day, working fine out on the tv. I brought it back in my room to play with a few things like Darwine, etc. Shut it down, came back an hour or so later booted it up and got the kernel panic on boot. Safe boot still worked fine. I spent some time trying to look for panic logs but didn't see any. I ran the disk utility and did a Full erase and it worked fine. I reinstalled the OS again. Ran MemTestOSX and it worked fine. I left it running the Apple Hardware Test for about 6 hours or more, and it performed perfectly.
This morning it still seemed ok, except sometimes on a cold boot when the blue progress bar screen should come on... my monitor just shows black and the light on the monitor goes inactive. So, I press the button on the back to sleep it, then bring it out of sleep with the keyboard and the OS is sitting there booted.
It seems like a weird combination of software and hardware problems, but maybe it's all hardware problems. I can't get past Safe Boot working when the OS stops loading. Right now the computer is working fine.
I'm waiting for my Core Duo to come in the mail and verify that it works flawlessly, then I'll take the Solo to the store and ask them to look at it.
Anyone have any similar experiences so far?

It seems like the mini is doing alright so far. I think maybe the full erase solved whatever issue it was having. I also got my Core Duo Mini yesterday in the mail and it's performing like a champ. Definitely a nice machine.
I'll close my question for now, since the Core Solo Mini seems alright. But, as a warning don't get on Front Row's bad side. I tried force quitting it because it was taking too long to load the videos folder and then tried shutting down from a terminal and ended up having to turn the machine off.
