Intel Mac Mini runs slow with more than one app running.

Hello, I just bought a new 1.66 Mac Mini. It's stock. When I don't have any applications open and I go to open one like a web browser or iTunes, they open very fast. If I have say iTunes or a browser open and I go to open another app, it opens very slow. I have counted up to 12 bounces of the icon before an app will open but the same app will open in one or two bounces of the icon if nothing else is open. Is this caused by only having 512Mb of RAM?

I have never tried the Sims 2 (PC version) on a PC with integrated graphics, but I got good performance on a Dell laptop (512 MB RAM, Intel Pentium M 1.4 Ghz, nVidia GeForce Go5200 FX / 64 MB VRAM). I don't know how much impact the integrated graphics could have on its performance. Upgrading to 1 GB, however, should ensure that you get decent performance and even if you don't need that Gig it will make your computer faster.
When using Windows under Boot Camp, your Mac will perform like any PC with the same hardware ...

  • I want to use Back to my mac. When I try to turn it on, it says "Back to My Mac may be slow because more than one device on your network is providing network services.   Turn off NAT and DHCP on one of the devices and try again." How do I fix this?

    Not sure if I am doing this right. This is my first time in the support community.
    I imagine what I put in my heading was supposed to go in here.
    I want to use Back to my mac. When I try to turn it on, it says "Back to my mac may be slow because more than one device on your network is providing network services. Turn off NAT and DHCP on one of the devices and try again. See the documentation that came with your device for information about turning off network services"
    Does anyone know how I do this? I contacted my ISP (Telus in Canada) and they did not know anything (not that they usually do).

    Why do ISPs insist upon making things so difficult for their customers?
    If you cannot get them to understand that you would prefer to use your own router over their piece of cheap junk, perhaps the information in the following will be useful:
    http://keithbalomben.wordpress.com/2012/03/29/telus-actiontec-v1000h-hacks-and-i nformation/
    Scroll down to DHCP Settings
    You will need to log in with proper "technician" credentials. They are provided in the above link as
    Username: tech
    Password: t3lu5tv
    ... but these may or may not work. Try it, and if you cannot get anywhere at least now you know what to ask Telus to do in return for your business.

  • Ipad, filing, folders, opening a document with more than one app...

    Hi
    I am wondering about iPad filing, documents and the future that iOS 5 and iCloud hold.
    Am I right in thinking that there will still be no file/folder structure and that documents will be held individually by apps?
    This creates two problems for me:
    1)  I need to access the same document (e.g. a pdf file) from more than one app. For example, say I need to use iAnnotate to mark it up and Sente to file it. However each app keeps their own copy of the document, so the annotated copy from iAnnotate is not the same copy as the one filed correctly in the Sente database.
    2) How do I keep the files for a specific project together? Say I have source documents, word-processing documents, presentations, images etc all related to one project: how do I keep them all together? If we had tagging  (as in openmeta or similar) I could tag them - works beautifully on the desktop but not available on the iPad. If we had folders I could at least group them in folders... What is is the iPad solution?
    M

    Here's how I address # 1:
    I use DropBox as my central hub to keep documents accessible and synced between my iPad and my laptop. That means that I export, share, copy or print the document, with my changes, to DropBox from whatever application I'm using. For example, if I open a PDF in PDF Expert (the app I use for reading and annotating) I can "open" a copy in DropBox with my annotations. For Pages and other iWork files I use DropDAV which enables me to save to DropBox via WebDAV. For other apps like Safari that don't have DropBox integration, I use Save2PDF to "print" a PDF to the appropriate DropBox folder.
    As to #2, two things come to mind. The first is that you can use the search function to find related files if you put your tag in the title or somewhere else searchable. The second is that I set up a file structure in DropBox on my laptop that meets my needs (and is also one way to begin to emulate a file structure on the iPad). For example, i keep my current course files, with their presentations, documents, and spreadsheets, in DropBox. But many of my projects have so many components and so many images, etc, I've become used to having components in different applications (Aperture, iTunes, etc) and I do rely on my laptop (and its external drives) for my central and final project management. For things in process, though, the iPad works very well.
    ICloud may change all this. :-)

  • The internet browser with more thane one video running is keep crashing after installing Adobe flash.

    If I run any website contains more than one video like this website for example :
    http://www.neatoxv-21.org ,where it has two videos talking about the cleaning vacuum neato xv-21, and both videos
    are running at the same time, then suddenly the explorer will crash, But in other broswers like google chrome it works fine.
    To double check, I un-installed the software and then I restarted my computer, I installed the software again but the same issue.
    I am using windows 7, so to be sure I missed nothing I updates the windows from Microsoft website and also
    I am sure that I have the latest internet explorer update.
    Now, the funny thing, I did the same process with Google chrome and it works fine!!!
    I am totally confused, wht could be the reason??
    Please advice..

    Update - I've now tested this with different internet connections, different computers and different operating systems. I've also just received a response from my internet service provider who said:
    "I've tested in Firefox, and it looks as if the buttons are crashing the browsers' flash plugin. This being the case, it is not going to be anything related to your computer, the internet connection, or the web server. 
    In all likelihood, it will be an issue with how the flash tour is coded, which I presume is created automatically by the Tourweaver package you mention. You will need to pursue their support for advice on this problem as it is something with the flash file)s( which isn't working correctly."
    So, hopefully Easypano support will be able to fix the problem. Obviously no connection at all with Adobe After Effects

  • Can I use a magic trackpad with more than one Mac at a time?

    I am attempting to pair a MTP with a second MacBook Pro.  So far I can't get system preferences to find the MTP.
    I am wondering whether the MTP can be paired with only one Mac at a time, and that this is why my MBP won't find it.
    The reason I am thinking this is because the little booklet that comes with the MTP says 'after you pair your MTP with a Mac, you can pair it again with a different Mac.  To do this, you first remove the existing pairing and then pair the trackpad again'.
    Can anyone advise, please?
    If it can be paired with more than one MBP at a time, any suggestions why my system preferences search for the MTP is not producing any results?
    Thanks

    Yes, your keyboard, mouse or trackpad can be paired with multiple Macs.  You can even have multiple keyboards, mice or trackpads paired with one Mac.  The caveat is that the device can only be connected to one Mac at a time.  The device can't be paired or connected with a Mac while it's currently connected to another.
    Pairing a device with 2 Macs will be troublesome if the Macs are located within 33 ft of each other.  The device will connect with the first available paired Mac and then unavailable to the second.   If the Macs are located outside the 10meter range, it's quite easy to power off the keyboard (forcing a disconnect) then walking the keyboard to Mac 2 and powering the keyboard on.   I do this with a keyboard from my iMac to a Mac Mini in another room.

  • Error while running spatial queries on a table with more than one geometry.

    Hello,
    I'm using GeoServer with Oracle Spatial database, and this is a second time I run into some problems because we use tables with more than one geometry.
    When GeoServer renders objects with more than one geometry on the map, it creates a query where it asks for objects which one of the two geometries interacts with the query window. This type of query always fails with "End of TNS data channel" error.
    We are running Oracle Standard 11.1.0.7.0.
    Here is a small script to demonstrate the error. Could anyone confirm that they also have this type of error? Or suggest a fix?
    What this script does:
    1. Create table object1 with two geometry columns, geom1, geom2.
    2. Create metadata (projected coordinate system).
    3. Insert a row.
    4. Create spacial indices on both columns.
    5. Run a SDO_RELATE query on one column. Everything is fine.
    6. Run a SDO_RELATE query on both columns. ERROR: "End of TNS data channel"
    7. Clean.

    Thanks for help.

    This error appears in GeoServer and SQLPLUS.
    I have set up a completly new database installation to test this error and everything works fine. I tried it again on the previous database but I still get the same error. I also tried to restart the database, but with no luck, the error is still there. I geuss something is wrong with the database installation.
    Anyone knows what could cause an error like this "End of TNS data channel"?

    The laptop's too far away from the router to be connected by ethernet. It's all wifi.
    No separate server app on the laptop, it's all samba
    The files are on a windows laptop and a hard drive hooked up to the windows laptop. The windows share server is pants, so I'd need some sort of third party server running. Maybe you weren't suggesting to use Samba to connect to the windows share though?
    I'm glad that you've all understood my ramblings and taken and interest, thanks The way I see it, I can't be the only netbook user these days looking for this kind of convenience, and I certainly won't be once chrome and moblin hit the market.

  • Problem with more than one item in a track

    DVDSP 4.0.2 / OSX.4.2 I've built a DVD with several tracks. In each track I've placed several .m2v files, one after another. Finished build plays fine on my Mac and on one of my stand alone DVD players. But on another stand alone (Sony DVP-S360) something very odd happens. DVD begins to play just fine, but whenever it encounters a track with more than one source file, it will play until it gets to the spot in the program where the second source file is in the track and then it hangs and won't do anything. I'm just curious if anyone has any insight into this problem. Is it a DVDSP conflict thing with certain players? Or is this Sony player just not capable of playing a DVD built this way? Thanks.

    This page here:
    http://www.videohelp.com/dvdplayers.php?DVDnameid=428&Search=Search&
    has someone talking about finally getting burned DVDs to work, which suggests they previously had problems. I can't think why the track would not seem like continuous video, as if it had always been that way. Our Sony DVD player at work seems sensitive to higher data rates. What data rate did you use?

  • Is it possible to equip a MBP with more than one external monitor

  • Slider with more than one thumb

    Hi,
    does anybody know a slider with more than one thumb?
    The JSlider-class only provides one thumb, but I need more thumbs to displace.
    That why I posted the last question: I found one in the web but when I call the constructor, I get that error.
    Thank you all
    Katharina

    Hi,
    I also tried MThumbSlider, a.k.a. CMThumbSlider (C for
    Cougaar?), the slider with more knobs. (keywords: slider,
    knob, knobs, thumb, thumbs, more, two, three.)
    I downloaded the code from the link mentioned below,
    run the example and it worked just fine. When I tried
    to subclass the slider to add tooltips I got an exception
    from the loader:
    UIDefaults.getUI() failed: no ComponentUI class for:...
    The slider has its own package. Its constructor
    (indirectly) calls the following utility function,
    passing itself as an argument, just before calling
    JSlider.updateUI. The latter then calls UIManager.getUI,
    which fails with the exception mentioned above.
      public static void setUIName(JComponent c) {
        String key = c.getUIClassID();
        String uiClassName = (String)UIManager.get(key);
        if (uiClassName == null) {
          String componentName   = c.getClass().getName();
          int index = componentName.lastIndexOf(".") +1;
          StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
          sb.append( componentName.substring(0, index) );
          String lookAndFeelName = UIManager.getLookAndFeel().getName();
          if (lookAndFeelName.startsWith("CDE/")) {
            lookAndFeelName = lookAndFeelName.substring(4,lookAndFeelName.length());
          sb.append( lookAndFeelName );
          sb.append( key );
          UIManager.put(key, sb.toString());
      }When the slider is subclassed outside of the package,
    the above results, e.g., in
    UIManager.put("MThumbSliderUI", "MetalMThumbSliderUI");thus the package name is lost. To correct such behaviour
    I changed the substring with the package name, including
    the last dot. The same goes for function createUI.
    There is another thread on this subject:
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=57&thread=348245
    The link were I found the code is

  • Service interface with more than one operation

    Hi all,
    is it possible to have a service interface with more than one operation?
    I have found this blog:

    But this sentence:
    ABAP proxy (inbound/ outbound) cannot be developed out of a Service Interface having Operations with different type of messages included. If an ABAP proxy is to be developed then all the messages included should be of one type i.e. either the included messages should be Message Type, External Message, IDOC or RFC Message. This behavior can be observed when a Service Interface is created and then subjected for a check
    regards

    Hi,
    now the interface is running but I get another error in .NET.
    "The header 'Diagnostic' from the namespace 'http://sap.com/xi/XI/Message/30' was not understood by the recipient of this message, causing the message to not be processed.  This error typically indicates that the sender of this message has enabled a communication protocol that the receiver cannot process.  Please ensure that the configuration of the client's binding is consistent with the service's binding.

    Any ideas?
