Is there a converter for the Mac Mini

I have a Mac Mini - here, in the States.
I may have the opportunity to spend time in England and would love to bring the computer with me. Did Apple make a power converter for it? Would DC power hurt the MINI? Anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you for your help in advance,
Jackie

Yes mooblie - it was helpful.
It's been a rough day - and you do not know me to understand - I didn't need anything "extra" added - I can only handle so much in a day...
I've been on line with a young thing - who has been having temper tantrums and says I'm condescending - when all I'm doing is helping her identify a font for a project and wishing her luck on it.
I think folks have forgotten the interaction that actual conversation offers. And yes, I may be considered in the stone age - to yourself, as my friend Scott would tell you - "she is old enough to be your grandma" always hated him for saying it - but it does make me laugh... and most likely, true!
Shall we start again. I have a Mac Mini in the USA - can I use it in England safely? If yes - how?

    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'.

  • I plan to purchase a Mac mini and then a new iPad.  Can I use the iPad as a monitor and keyboard for the Mac mini, either through the USB connection or thru Wi-Fi?

    I plan to purchase a Mac mini and then a new iPad.  Can I use the iPad as a keyboard and screen for the Mac mini, using either the USB connector or Wi-Fi?

    I'm sorry, I should have said thru Bluetooth, not Wi-Fi.  I want to use the mini as a base station and the iPad like a laptop that I can sync when I'm home and carry with me when I travel.  Is is possible to hook these 2 up - iPad/mini, through Bluetooth?  I understand I need to use a regular monitor/keyboard/mouse on the initial install.

  • Is there a difference in the mac mini address book and my iPhone contacts? I have them both as well as my Ipad2 connected on I could but these don't seem to be sharing contacts. It worked in the store. What have I done wrong?

  • Ac adapter or converter for EU Mac Mini in the US?

    Hey everyone
    I live in Europe and plan to move to the US soon
    I have a Mac Mini which I plan to bring with me
    Do I need a step down converter or will a simple adapter like that (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC556LL/B/apple-85w-magsafe-power-adapter-for- 15-and-17-inch-macbook-pro?fnode=5a) will do, as from what I've read, the Mac Mini used 85W as well
    Appericate your opinions, thanks

    Yes, but I would get a power cords instead of an adapter.

  • 4GB of RAM is supported for the Mac mini not 2GB

    Hi everyone,
    Its my first post and this is by no means the first one on this topic or with this finding, so your patience is appreciated.
    I just wanted to tell everyone how happy I am that I put 4GB of DDR2 PC5300 RAM in my brand new Mac Mini and it works great. Apple say it only supports 2GB, why? The mac mini is not the easiest thing to upgrade I must admit. If you don't know your way around a PC then get a service centre to do it. But there is plenty on youtube etc to help you out.
    Lots of people are only going up to 2GB as they do not want to risk paying for 2 x 2GB and it turns out not to work. It just so happened my Acer laptop had 4GB of the exact same RAM so I tried it out and it worked perfectly.
    4GB in an Mac Mini is great as it means a fully functional mac for under £600 (inc RAM upgrade). I almost spent over twice that much on mac book pro and for my needs the mac mini matches it (any extra capacity the mac book pro has would go unused).
    So I made the jump from PC to Mac and I am really happy. Macs are great esp for my creative needs. But they are generally tools and toys for rich people which is why I avoided them for so long.
    Lets not forget guys if Apple supported the fact that 4GB works then why would you go out and spend all that money on a Mac that other than having a great screen (iMac) only offers 0.2-0.6Ghz more in power than a Mac mini that costs less than half the price.
    iMacs are great as are mac books pros, but my Mac mini other than its graphics card offers me the same and looks great!!

    No problem.
    The mini is a steal and one of Apples best products I think. Design is great, value for money is great, features are great. It is a Mac for under £500! I have just purchased a RAID 1 based 800GB firewire drive for £130 from Amazon to make up for the small disk on this baby so my setup is even better. I have spent less than £700 and I am over the moon with my purchase. Find me another Mac or PC for that matter that provides me with so much for so little.
    Oh and it also work great as a music player too. Comes with a remote for Front Row so when you are not using it as a computer it works amazing as a hi fi. It is amazing.
    2.0ghz is more than enough juice for many things. I am running my Logic Studio and it is working very well and such an application requires above average juice. So for the average user who needs to pay twice as much for the extra .2 or .4 ghz.
    I am going to get over this soon guys. Just happy thats all.

  • The best monitor for the mac mini?

    Hey Everyone!
    I am interested in getting the Mac Mini 2012 with 2.5GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 and 4 GB of 1600MHz DDR3 memory and Intel HD Graphics 4000 512 MB. But I'm struggling trying to figure out what monitor will suit me best.
    I'm looking for a monitor that's between 23' and 26' and I'm looking to use it by connecting the HDMI into my future Mac Mini and be getting 1080p with it. I'm mainly looking at a Dell or a Samsung monitor. I could really use some help and get some advice from comments on what monitor will make it run very smoothly!
    Thanks!

    Most Mac users who can't afford or justify buying the Thunderbolt display go with the Dell UltraSharp monitors. Excellent quality and reliability. I have two!

  • What's the best mount for the Mac Mini?

    I'm toying with the idea of mounting my Mac Mini under my desk and was wondering if anyone had any experience with any of the available brackets?
    I'd also like input for a bracket that would allow me to mount an external hard drive that has the same profile as the Mac Mini.
    Neatness is the number 1 priority.
    Thanks in advance for your input.

    Hello Mike,
    It don't get much neater than this...

  • Is there a difference between the Mac Mini Server and installing the Lion Server on an iMac?

         So, I was wondering what the difference is between installing the Lion Server on an iMac as opposed to buying the Mac Mini Server because the iMac may be a cheaper solution for me since I intend to purchase a new monitor, keyboard, mouse and accessories if i purchase the Mac Mini Server.

    If you intend to leave the server running all the time a Mac mini server would probably make more sense.  It isn't necessary to keep a monitor, mouse and keyboard connected to the server as you can use the server management tools, remote desktop and SSH via the terminal window on your iMac to manage the server remotely once it's up and running.

  • What is the best wireless mouse/keyboard combo for the Mac mini.

    Right now I'm using a Logitech k360 keyboard/mouse combo that works great on my pc but it's horrible on my Mac mini. I'm even debating whether I should return the Mac mini because I think something may be wrong with it. Also, my Mac mini is inside of my entertainment center which has a glass door on it, could this be part of the problem?

    This should be no issue whatsoever.  I have a very similar setup
    with the Mini inside and enternainment center w/glass doors.
    Just make sure there is enough room to have sufficient air flow
    around it.
    Is yours constucted out of wood or metal?
    ....I'm even debating whether I should return the Mac mini because I think something may be wrong with it.
    Are the keyboard mouse issues the only issue or is there
    something else in addition to that?
    What exatly do you mean by working horrible?  Just what is
    actually going on when you use them.  As I see on the website
    Logitech only specs Windows OSes, it could be a driver issue.
    Also, if this is the new Mini, do you have external USB3.0 drives
    connected to it?  There have been issues with Bluetooth, however
    the Logitech specs do not state that it is Bluetooth but could
    still be affected.

  • What is the best webcam for the Mac mini?

    I have been reading everywhere and it sounds like the big thing is to find the actual webcam that works well with the Mac Mini.  Don't know why Apple wouldn't release their own camera now, can someone enlight me about what webcam should go after?

    Heloo,

  • I cannot download the OS X Mountain Lion for the Mac Mini

    I purchased a Mac Mini last week and cannot install the latest version of Mountain Lion.  This is preventing me from installing the current version of Aperture. I read on cnet.com that this is an issue.  Has Apple provided a fix? 
    Thanks, Mark

    The update was available last week and Apple removed it; I'm sure there was a reason why they did that.
    In any case, there are two different builds of 10.8.2 - that is why one version is and will be available since it is for the majority of machines out there. That build is 12C60 (and is running on my 2010 iMac). Only some 2012 machines such as yours require a special build which is the one that was taken off for the moment (before it disappeared, that was build 12C3006).
    So, try to be patient; hopefully they're working on it and the update will be available asap.

  • How in detail, do you create a group message for the Mac Mini?

    Could someone please help me create a group message in Mail on my Mac Mini computer.  I have gone into Address Book but cannot find anywhere to create a group.  Tried it and put the Group name at the top, then listed all the group but when I send a message the only one who gets it is the one at the top.  Any ideas would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    Yes, thanks, Linc.  Right after I posted my question, I simply googled it, and the page you linked came right up.  After 1/2 an hour of trying to make a "VIP folder for someone," I got the right info from googling and handled the situation in one second!  Once again, I have come to the conclusion that I should google any Apple problem, rather than staying within the confines of Apple Help, etc. 

  • What is best DVD converter for the Mac and iPod

    Would like to convert all of my kids DVD movies to my Mac for play on AppleTV and iPods/iPads.  What is the best software for doinng this.  I am willing to pay up to $50 for the software as I would like a high quality and fast, fast, fast conversion rate.

    If you have an Apple computer, you can get a software called "Video Converter Ultimate" from the Apps store. It works well. It is available for both Windows and Mac. It is a free download.
