Intel Mac Mini & Speedtouch 330 USB

Ok..
I was delighted to have my mac mini shipped to me the other day.
It took nearly three hours to do a migration from my emac.
Then I tried to connect to the net using my speedtouch 330 usb.
Doesn't work. Single red flashing led.
Spoke to wanadoo, and speedtouch, both declare that speedtouch does not work with the intel mac mini (os 10.4.6). Need a router (which one?)
Fact or fiction? I don't know.......
Has anybody had the same problems with the same hardware.
Any feedback would be ace.
Cheers World..

It might well be correct in that the driver may not be Intel compatible. What I suggest you do is go to the SpeedTouch web site…
http://www.speedtouch.com/
… and download the latest driver for your modem and see how it goes. I just checked and there one for Mac OS X 10.4.
If it fails to work then you might just be stuck with an Ethernet modem/router. As for which one, the simplest, though not necessarily the cheapest, is to get one from Wanadoo as it will have a profile for easy setup otherwise you can get pretty much any one you like.

  • USB Audio output for a intel Mac Mini

    Is there a USB Audio output device I can get for the Intel Mac Mini, that works in both Mac OS X and Windows XP Home?
    I took my Mini apart to put in a hard drive, and now the sound sometimes doesn't work (Internal or External).

  • Intel Mac Mini Core Duo Midi USB Issues

    Is anyone else having issues getting Midi devices to work with the Intel Mac Mini's? I have several Midi devices that are't working correctly event though I have installed the newest drivers.
    Currently I am having issues with a M-Audio Midisport 2x2 USB adapter. I loaded the newest drivers (ver 3.2.2) which are supposed to be universal binary to support the Intel Macs. When I connect the Midisport 2x2 to the Mac Mini I can not get it to receive Midi Output from the Mac.
    When I look in the Midi control pannel I can see that the Midisport has been installed, but all options to select it are greyed out. Also when I try to select it as the input or output there is NO option to select the Midisport from the pull down menu. It only shows the "Built-in Midi" as and option.
    The Midisport works fine on other non-Intel Macs. Please advise.
    Thanks!

    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.

  • Intel Mac mini as a faxserver with more then one USB-Modems?

    Hi there,
    does anybody have a clue if this idea will work?
    We plan to buy a Intel Mac mini and someone had the idea to use it additionally as a faxserver - BUT, we'll need more the one fax-line. So, I wonder if it is possible to buy 3 or even 4 external USB-Modem from Apple to use all of them.
    Does anyone tried this before?
    Any comments are welcome!
    Thanks in advance, Chris.
    Mac mini Core Duo, 2GB, 120GB Mac OS X (10.4.5)

    Hello Chris,
    incl. a four line fax-card. Why isn't it a good
    choice?
    From my experience the Mac's make a terrible fax machine.
    I have tried receiving faxes with a 1.8 GHz iMac G5 (with built-in modem), a 2.0 GHz iMac G5 (with built-in modem), and my 1.25 GHz Mac Mini (with built-in modem).
    In every single case, and experiment, they dropped the fax after the first page.
    So, that means that I've gone round and round trying to get beyond the first page received without trouble.
    I do have a real fax machine, and never have any trouble receiving faxes on the same line with it. So, I only use the computer as a fax when I want to only receive the first page (for example the many local doctors who send me their customers private details).
    In the case of the doctors, my phone rings frequently with customer's private details. All I want is the first page so I can call the doctor and tell them to quit sending me faxes.
    They will send, send, and re-send until a fax machine answers. It keeps the phone busy all day if I don't receive the fax.
    But, it costs money to receive the 30-page faxes just to stop the phone ringing. So, I let the computer capture the first page, and then call them and demand that they quit calling me (which works for a couple of days).
    You wouldn't believe the information they have sent me. And, with an older doner-film fax, a 30-page document is mighty expensive.
    What really gets me, is when they had the nerve to request me to invest even more money and pay to mail the fax back to them. I tell them their free to drive here and get it, otherwise, it's going in the garbage.
    I can tell you from experience, that your medical records are not safe with a doctor. They just assume they are dialing the right number, and will send your entire personal history (and even family history - I've received generations of information) to just about anyone with a fax machine.
    Anyway, now that I explained how I use mine, I hope you can better understand why a real fax machine is going to serve you better.
    The tolerance of a real fax machine will prevent you from constantly trying to receive the same fax over and over and over again.

  • Will a Saittek Eclipse usb keyboard work with an Intel Mac Mini?

    The Saittek Eclipse is my favorite keyboard.
    Anybody know if it will work with an Intel Mac Mini.
    Box only says Windows, but I'm just wondering if everything except volume controls will work fine? (it is also illuminated, with a light level control, but I'm guessing this shouldn't matter with Windows vs OS X?)

    I am a writer though  and a photographer (strictly point and shoot) for a couple of orgs.  I just don't want o run out of space.  And I hate!! slow response time.  
    Is the i5 adequate as well?
    Glad to have found an Apple guru so quickly.  May very well buc you more in the future.

  • Bluetooth Not Available on Intel Mac mini

    I keep losing the Bluetooth wireless connection between my Apple wireless mouse and keyboard and my Intel Mac mini (which is running Mac OSX 10.5.5)
    Tried re-booting but it doesn't always come back.
    Looked in System Preferences, but if the connection is lost, Bluetooth has disappeared as if not installed. If the connection is present then all seems OK. You can check battery levels etc.
    Left to itself Bluetooth can re-appear sometime later as mysteriously as it disappeared, maybe after half an hour or so. Very annoying as I have to result to using an Apple USB mouse and keyboard when the connection is lost.
    Tried running Bluetooth Updater but it says I haven't got Bluetooth if the connection is lost! But it came pre-installed on purchase. Problem only seems to have started since upgrading to Leopard. Never had this problem with Tiger.
    Any thoughts would be most welcome.
    regards,
    BJ

    Ok, I've resolved this on my machine, at least for the time being.
    Here is what I did. I am not advising anyone else to do this and I am in-no-way stating this will fix your problem. I'm just relaying what worked for me. If anyone chooses to try this then it's on their own head!
    I opened my Mac Mini and located the Bluetooth circuit board just in front of the rear power button. I removed the small phillips screw holding the board in place and noticed that the connector that connects the board to the main motherboard was not seated well. I removed the connector and reattached it, making sure I felt the 'click' as the connector was pushed home.
    I had also read on the net that the routing of the bluetooth ariel cable may cause problems due to interference from the USB ports. I took the opportunity to extract the ariel and run it over the disk and away from the USB ports. Before putting the lid back on I booted up to check Bluetooth was working again.
    So, I now have my Mac Mini with Bluetooth working again. We shall see how long this lasts - perhaps the root cause was a loose connection, in which case it may be fixed permanently now. I shall report back in a few weeks.
    Be aware that opening your Mac is going to invalidate any warranty. Mine was out of warranty anyway so I was not bothered. I've also got a degree in software and electronic engineering so know my way round the insides of computers. Please make your own assessment of your level of expertise before deciding to try what I did. It may not work for you anyway!

  • Can I use a Power PC non intel Mac Mini as an external HD with my iMac 3.06

    Can I use a Power PC non intel Mac Mini as an external HD with my iMac 3.06 Intel Core Duo
    I can't figure out how to get this to work. Is it possible?

    WildBull wrote:
    Will it work if I connect via usb instead of firewire?
    No. There is no "USB Target Disk Mode".
    Just so we're clear, when you start your Mac mini in FireWire Target Disk Mode (TDM - holding T on startup), do you see a FireWire icon on the Mac mini's display? IIRC, it's not required that the Mac mini be connected to a display for TDM, but it would help diagnose whether or not the mini is actually starting in this mode.

  • How can I tell if I have the right restore disks for Intel Mac Mini

    I have an "early 2006" (confirmed by S/N YM609***) Intel Mac Mini 1.66mhz Core Duo. I bought it used and the hard drive had been wiped. Both the HD and the DVD drive seem to work fine; hard drive passes SMART tests. I was able to boot using "Drive Genius" and can access the pre-install items like Disk Utility (and know that I need to use GUID formatting to create a bootable disk). Not knowing I could order restore disks from Apple I bought a set on eBay, p/n AHT VERSION 3A102 DISC VERSION 1.1 2Z691-5828-A, copyright 2006 on disks and included documentation (OS 10.4.6), but the install always fails 10-15 minutes along. I got the same results when trying to install via internal optical drive to a FW or USB external HD (told it to use GUID for the external HD), or external FW optical drive both to internal HD and to external USB hard drive. A friend tried to install full retail versions of 10.5 and even 10.6 for diagnostic purposes, using the built in HD and DVD drives, but those installs did not complete either; they did not try external drives. Is that the wrong restore version for this model, or even if the right "generation", does a set of restore disks only work with the specific Mac mini they were issued for like for example XP restore disks would? I've been told I can provide my s/n to Apple and for about $30 they will send me the "right" restore disks... anyone know anything about this? Could there be a hardware/firmware explanation for why the install fails like that? PS ran the extended version of the Apple Hardware Test with that restore disk set and it reported "no problems."
    <Edited by Host>

    Thanks. Actually I got the Mini from a computer recycling company I work with so I knew it might have problems and that I was taking an "as-is" risk. If the original disks were turned in with it, they'd been lost (that outfit took in huge piles of stuff every day; it was often luck of the draw for me to find something before it would be buried, damaged, etc., and not everyone who worked there had any idea of the possible value of things they received) for me to find things. The disks I got on eBay apparently were separated from the mini they'd been packaged for. An Apple Store rep said I could order restore direct from Apple just by providing my serial number; just wish I'd known that before I went to eBay. Since posting this I've seen another seller specifically claiming that the same-part-numbered-as-mine disc set they are selling will work with my specific type of Mac mini. I have an appointment tomorrow morning at the Genius Bar at an Apple store near me in case they have more suggestions. Will share what I know as things develop.

  • The Intel Mac Mini uses on-board graphics... how good are they?

    I'm seriously considering getting an Intel Mac Mini and telling all my friends to get one, too. However, there's one problem - the graphics.
    The whole reason I'd want an Intel Mac would be so that I could dual-boot into Windows Vista (when it comes out) in order to play the latest games.
    How suitable are the on-board graphics for gaming? Would it be able to play Halo and Command & Conquer Generals well?
    Basically, I want to know if it's the equivalent of a 64 MB graphics chip in speed, or if having on-board graphics makes it a bit slower. Does it have hardware acceleration? And is it suitable for smooth casual gaming at an average resolution?

    I am very uneasy about finding integrated graphics in the new mini too.
    When I first saw the new Mini website on Apple's website I was so excited "intel processor", "4 usb ports", "faster drives" but something was missing from the website; the "graphics" sub-category. I instantly wondering what was up with that, thinking right away obviously the graphics weren't good enough to brag about. I was right. On Apple's MacMini website, on the "Intel Core" sub-category page, bottom of the page, right side there's a weee comment on integrated graphics, "oh." was my only thought.
    It's really disappointing to see integrated graphics in the new Mini. That AND the increase in price. The price of the Intel iMac dropped by $100 when it got introduced, but the Intel Mini's price goes up $100 upon introduction, further closing the price between the iMac and the Mini and making the iMac looking more and more attractice in terms of features-performance-price-value. I better run out and buy a Intel iMac before Apple removes the miniDVI-out port (which I'm predicting it will be removed in the next iMac revision)
    Hopefully some Intel MacMini review tests in the coming weeks will reveal better-than-expected graphics performance.
    I'm surprised nobody else has mentioned this but... doesn't anyone here see that Apple has given us a preview of what's to come by putting integrated graphics in the new Intel MacMini? -- Anyone? I'll tell you -- we're going to see the exact same integrated graphics in the upcoming Intel iBooks, that's what.

  • Using two displays simultaneously on an early intel mac mini

    I would like to connect my Apple display and an LCD TV to my early Intel Mac Mini using a DVI-D splitter and DVI-D cable to the DVI input on the TV. I don't know if this Mac Mini's video card has a single or a duel DVI output. I'm assuming it has to have a duel output to be able to have both displays on at the same time. Also, from what I've read previously in the discussions, I assume I'll have hook up the audio output also, assuming the video works. Thanks for any help.

    I'm pretty sure that can't work for a variety of reasons. Primarily the DVI output on the mini has a single digital output, not two. It has been shown that it can output VGA analog and DVI digital simultaneously when booted under Windows, but the OS X driver for the GMA950 does not support that same trick. So I don't think you are going to be able to do what you want unless you run Windows.
    You could try add-on hardware if you really have your mind set on this. There are USB-to-video adapters out there on the market. They are reported to work pretty well with the caveat that they can't be used for things like full screen video which requires more bandwidth than USB can supply. But for a mostly static display, like using a mail reader or a browser without too much animation, or a spreadsheet, etc., they work well enough.

  • Intel mac mini wont boot after system restore

    Hi,
    I ran the system restore on my intel mac mini using the genuine leopard cd that came with it.
    Now it wont boot. When you press power the light comes on but it does not chime and there is not video output to any monitor.
    Anyone know what could be wrong?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    You picked 10.4.1 in your profile.
    Intel Mac Minis at minimum came with 10.4.4.
    If it came with a 10.5 genuine DVD, it most certainly was not running 10.4.1 or 10.4.4. Perhaps you mistook one Mac Mini install DVD for another? Does your Mac Mini have 4 USB ports on back? What does the 10.5 installer disc you used look like?

  • Can't Migrate from G4 to Intel Mac Mini

    Hi
    I have been unable to migrate files from my old G4 destop to my new Intel Mac mini. I wonder if anyone could help.
    I first tried first using the migration assistant on the Mac mini and used the G4 as a fire wire drive. Failed twice, the process froze both times.
    Erased Intel Mac mini and tried to do a restore from G4 using Disk Utilty. Failed twice. Didn't complete process.
    I then tried the same twice using Supe Duper. Completed process (took hours) but in both cases couldn't boot Mac mini. Get the folder icon on boot indicating can't find system (I think).
    I though I would then clean re-install system files from restore disks that came with MIni mac and start a fresh, but won't allow me to do this !! Spent two days and no further forward.
    Any suggestions ?
    Would erasing Mac mini and and trying Carbon Copy Cloner work ?
    Can I add files manually from G4 to mac mini ?
    Thanks in advance.
    G4 ibook. G4 desktop, mac mini (intel)   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Exactly which model G4 tower do you have? The
    PCI-graphics G4 towers do not support FireWire Target
    Disk Mode.
    If FWTDM works, have you replaced the hard drive that
    came with the G4? Technically, Apple claims FWTDM
    will only work with the OEM (original) hard drive
    that came with the G4 tower. If you've replaced it or
    added a second drive, it might not work correctly in
    "target" mode.
    If you do have a new hard drive, you should be able
    to put it into a FireWire (or USB) external hard
    drive case and use the Migration/Setup Assistant to
    copy your files over.
    If you're still having trouble, you can copy your
    files over manually. Do you know which files you're
    interested in copying? If your G4 tower works in
    "target" mode, but the Migration/Setup Assistant is
    having trouble, you can usually just drag all the
    files and folders from your user's old home folder to
    the new folders on the new computer. (Macintosh
    HD/Users/YourUserName/Pictures > NewMacintosh
    HD/Users/YourUserName/Pictures)
    -Doug
    Yes I did change the hard drive to a bigger one so that may be the problem.
    When I use the Traget mode I do see my "old" drive (both partitions) on my desktop so it suggests firewire is working.
    Won't take everything across including applications, library etc.
    Will let you know how I get on.
    Thank you for your time. Geatly appreciated.

  • Normal + 3 chimes at startup with intel mac mini

    I posted this in the mac mini forum, but didn't get a helpful response. So maybe someone can help me here.
    I have a 300GB USB drive (formatted as Mac OS extended (journaled)) connected to my intel mac mini with the drive's power on all the time. When I start up the mini after the USB drive has spun down I get the regular startup chime plus 3 lower volume startup chimes. The activity light on the USB drive flashes during the 3 chimes. Then the system starts normally with the USB drive icon on the desktop. I can read and write to the USB hard drive with no problems.
    If I shutdown the mini and start it up again but now the USB hard drive has not spun down, I get just the normal single chime. Also, if the USB drive is disconnected, I get the normal single chime. I've tried a different USB port, but still got the same behavior.
    I've connected a USB flash drive, but it exhibits normal behavior, that is, just the single startup chime.
    Are the subsequent 3 chimes at startup OK and just telling me that there is an external hard drive? Or is there a looming problem? Has anyone else experienced this?
    Intel Mac Mini Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   Apple BT Mouse & Keyboard

    Thanks. But the article says you won't hear the normal startup chime but some number of beeps if there is a problem with 3 beeps meaning no good banks.
    I hear the normal startup chime, then 3 of the same chimes but at lower volume. Must be something about the USB hard drive.
    When I bought the drive, it was formatted for windows with NTFS. I used disk utility to format is as Mac OS Extended (journaled). I've copied about 100 GB of data to it.

  • Wireless keyboard delay before active for Intel Mac Mini

    I posted this many moons ago when I got my Intel Mac Mini. The issue was never resolved even though several users found it to be a problem. I am reposting the issue to see if there is any progress. I took my Intel Mini in to the Genius Bar at an Apple store. He thought it was a software issue related to the dual processor and thought it would be corrected by an update. This apparently has not happened yet.
    When I start up my Mac Mini, the wireless keyboard is not active immediately. When the login screen appears, there is a delay of maybe 20 -30 seconds before a keystroke will show up even though the cursor is blinking on the screen. If I hit a key more than once during the end of this delay period, all the keystrokes eventually show up.
    Mac Mini (Intel Core Duo)   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    I just bought new Mac mini w/ wireless keyboard and track pad. During initial setup it would not pair to keyboard but it di see trackpad. I could not complete setup, I have no control.  Brought home USB keyboard from work and resumed setup. I'm stuck again. In setup it's asking for a trackpad click to continue. The trackpad will scroll, but will not click. The whole system is two days old and nothing works  I tried to contact support through the lengthy online screening process and apple ultimately say the new system doesn't qualify for free support.
    Totally ******. I'm back to using my old pc..  What to do with this expensive boat anchor from apple?
    Really could use some help here
    Thanks
