Loss of bluetooth range on mac mini (lion x/memory upgrade)

I have a mac mini 2009. I just upgraded to lion x and added 3GB of RAM.  For some reason my bluetooth mouse and keyboard have lost their range.  They both work but I have to use them within a foot of the computer.  Ive replaced the batteries.. any help is greatly appreciated

I fixed this last night (Mac Mini, Late 2009). If you have upgraded your RAM there is a strong possibility that the bluetooth antenna came loose while reassemling the mini. I was very careful installing ram, but last evening when I dissassembled the mini I found that one of the bluetooth antennae was disconnected. Popped it back in, reassembled, and my reception went from 1 foot back up to the full extent of the room. If you are having range problems, take it apart (ifixit.com) and check it.

  • Bluetooth range problem/mac mini

    hello , i have a mac mini with the bluetooth/ airport installed. i have the mini connected to my 36 inch tv. i recently purchased an apple wireless keyboard and mouse. now as i can recall the range of bluetooth should be somewhere in the 30ft range. i was hoping to be able to sit on my couch and use this setup. now when i go more then 1 foot away from the mini with the mouse and keyboard they nolonger work. i updated everything and it still dosnt work. the mouse gets unconnected and the keyboard dosnt work then at all. can someone please help me for now i feel i have wasted my money and am going to return the mini, keyboard and mouse

  • HT2995 Trouble Pairing Bluetooth speaker with Mac Mini

    I can't seem to get the Bluetooth on my Mac Mini to recognize my LG wireless speakers (though the Bluetooth on my iPad recognizes the LG wireless speakers). Any thoughts on how to correct this?
    The Mac Mini simply does not seem to recognize that the LG speaker exists.  I know the LG speaker is in Bluetooth discxoverable mode, as my iPad sees it.

    You do have the iPad's BT turned off, right, when you try to pair with the Mac?
    Better yet, on the iPad make sure the speakers are unpaired-removed, and then try pairing with your mini.

  • How do I connect a pc to mac mini lion server?

    Have recently purchased a mac mini lion server and have had no problem connecting macs in a small office. However, I can't for the life of me figure out how to connect the 2 PC's in our office...
    I am not an IT person - doing this with complete ignorance!
    Any help much appreciated.
    PS. I have enabled SMB on server, but still can't see the server on PC networks

    Hi frustrated,
    (I know what you mean...)
    In any case, let me attempt to help you...
    First of all, on the Lion Server machine (let's say this machine is named MyLionServer), open the Server app, click on File Sharing, and add the mount point you want to share.  Let's call this mount point Drobo (just in case you have a Drobo attached to your Lion Server), but it could be any folder or disk attached to your Lion Server machine or on your local network.  Edit the mount point share (highlight Drobo and click on pencil icon), and add the users (click + button and add the usernames) you wish to access the Drobo share, and how they access it (read only, read/write, etc.).  Also make sure to check the "Share with Windows clients (SMB)" button.  Click done and wait for the Server app to restart all of the file sharing servers.
    Now for the Windows PC (I have just tested this myself on a PC running Windows XP Pro):
    Click the "start" buttom, click "My Network Places".  In the My Network Places panel, click on the "Add a network place" button.  This brings up the "Add Network Place Wizard", highlight the "Choose another network location" and click "Next>".  In the Internet or network address box, add the following: "\\MyLionServer\Drobo" (yes, I know the slashes are backwards from what you normally use in the MacOS - also, the name Windows wants may have only the first character capitalized, as in "\\Mylionserver\Drobo"), then click the "Next>" botton, then click the "Finish" button.  The first time you perform this for the first share on your Lion Server, a window opens and asks for a username and password.  Enter one of the usernames and passwords that you gave read/write access to in the File Sharing panel for the Drobo mount point on your Lion Server.  This brings up a \\Mylionserver\Drobo window on your PC that is mounted to your Lion Server's Drobo.
    Hope this helps,
    Switon
    P.S. As I said, I tried this out on my own PC as I was typing the instructions into this reply, and the above works for me.  But I did it on Windows XP Pro on a 6 year old PC laptop, and all machines and Windows OSes are different, so it will probably require you to do something slightly different from what I described above unless you just happen to be using Windows XP also.  Good luck.

  • HT4889 Trying to migrate from Mac-mini Tiger to Mac-mini Lion and Migration Assistant cannot find my Firewire, 400 to 800, "T" disk although it show up in the new Mac's computer folder. Help

    Trying to migrate from Mac-mini Tiger to Mac-mini Lion and Migration Assistant cannot find my Firewire, 400 to 800, "T" disk although it shows up in the new Mac's computer folder. It seems that Mac-mini Tiger is as it should be and the firewire cable is OK.  Something about the Migration Assistant is being missed, but I have no idea what it is.

    Addendum: I read on a post here (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=420169) about removing some kext files in order to trick OSX into thinking that there were no FireWire ports.
    I followed the instructions and removed from /System/Library/Extensions/ the following files:
    IOFireWireSerialBusProtocolTransport.kext
    IOFireWireAVC.kext
    IOFireWireFamily.kext
    IOFireWireIP.kext
    IOFireWireSBP2.kext
    I restarted and BAM...Snow Leopard booted crazy fast and the mouse and keyboard worked instantly.
    The System Profiler says "No FireWire ports were found."
    So this tells me that the FW port is probably the culprit and is messing up the installation.
    So how do I hack the Mountain Lion installer and tell it to ignore the FW port, which is obviously quite dead? Or is there something I can do to the Base system that is similar?

  • ICloud for pages app not working on network users having home folder on Mac Mini Lion server

    Does anyone know how to make iCloud for pages work on network users having home folder on server, having home folder on local Client iCloud for Pages works fine but when home folder is on Server iCloud for Pages app does not work. My Clients are Running Mountain Lion 10.8.2, my Server is a Mac Mini Lion Server.

    Hi Tim,
    No fix yet, my home folders reside on a thunderbolt external hard drive, I also tested having home folders on default server HD and no changes, I called Apple Support a while ago, they replicated the issue, it just does not work on network users, they did not say when will it be fix.
    The version of Pages I am using is from the Apple Store.

  • Why can´t I see other devices with Bluetooth from my Mac Mini?

    Why can´t I see other devices with Bluetooth from my Mac Mini?

    Be sure nothing is on top of the Mac Mini. BT and Wi-Fi antennas are just beyond the top. If something is onto the Mac Mini, wireless job will not be OK.

  • LDAP and NFS mounts/setup OSX Lion iMac with Mac Mini Lion Server

    Hello all,
    I have a local account on my iMac (Lion), and I also have a Mac Mini (Lion Server) and I want to use LDAP and NFS to mount the /Users directory, but am having trouble.
    We have a comination of Linux (Ubuntu), Windows 7 and Macs on this network using LDAP and NFS, except the windows computers.
    We have created users in workgroup management on the server, and we have it working on a few Macs already, but I wasnt there to see that process. 
    Is there a way to keep my local account separate, and still have NFS access to /Users on the server and LDAP for authentification?
    Thanks,
    -Matt

    It would make a great server. Bonus over Apple TV for example is that you have access via both wired ethernet and wireless. Plus if you load tools from XBMC, Firecore and others you have a significant media server. Cost is right too.
    Many people are doing this - google mac mini media server or other for more info.
    Total downside to any windows based system - dealing with constant anti-virus, major security hassels, lack of true media integration and PITA to update, etc.
    You should be aware that Lion Server is not ready for prime time - it stil has significant issues if you are migrating from SNL 10.6.8. If you buy an apple fresh Lion Server mac mini you should have no problems.
    You'll probably be pleased.

  • Mac Mini Lion Servers - just unboxed... have some ???s

    Hi all, I just unshrinkwrapped two mac mini lion servers (mid 2011) and they both won't run imovie! Can anyone explain why? Oh, I see, there is an update to 9.0.6, so perhaps that will fix. I've updated everything else but the iLife stuff, which would not let me update outside of MAS. Boy, is that annoying... so I have to download those twice, and I am sitting here with the updates on a thumbdrive
    But my big question here is: why isn't this product treated like a seperate product, with it's own forum? or docs on setup? All I can find in how to install/migrate Lion server, but nothing specific to the stuff in the box (preconfigured lion server, two drives, etc.) So do I just try and use the installing Lion Server docs and try and figure out where to jump in?
    Also, is there a site where I can go to get answers about the setup itself... I have the PeachPit Apple Pro book, but again, it's really dense. I don't want to be certified, I just want to set up a webserver, learn about Active Directory, set up workgroup access for a small team, set up a media  and mail server. That's it
    Well, appreciate any pointers...

    There is in fact a forum for Lion Server Right here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/servers_enterprise_software/mac_os_x_lio n_server
    Just needed to scroll down further on the community list.
    And going here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/lionserver/
    is the Lion Server support site.
    This forum is for general Mac Mini hardware issues and the
    above are for Lion Server issues.  There is no need for
    two seperate forums as they already exist.
    As for the iMovie issue and MAS, that is the way Apple decided to
    move since it is purchasable/upgradable software.

  • Just bought a Mac Mini lion server how do i make a lion backup?

    Just bought a Mac Mini lion server how do i make a backup disk for lion?

    I believe you will need a USB drive and can download and  install something called Lion Recovery Disk Assistant from below. 
    http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1433
    Also read the article from below which I believe will encourage your desire to do the backup.

  • Mini 210-2007sl memory upgrade

    Hello Sirs,
    I wanted to upgrade my Mini 210-2007sl to 2Gb. The original memory was marked:
    ELPIDA 1Gb 1Rx8 PC3-10600S-9-10-B1
    I supposed some "flexibility" of the hardware so I bought a Kingston KVR1333D3S9/2G, but it doesn't work (screen stays black forever)
    Is this related to number of memory chips installed in the module (8 for the original module, 16 for the Kingston part) ?
    Could you suggest a compatible memory from Kingston ?
    Thanks a lot,
    Mario

    Hi, Mario:
    Here is the Kingston memory module you need for your notebook:

  • Two Bluetooth Adapters on Mac Mini

    Is it possible to use two bluetooth adapters with the Mac Mini?
    If not, is it possible to disable the internal adapter and use an external USB bluetooth adapter?
    If you're curious, here is what I'm trying to set up.
    upstairs: Mac Mini with keyboard, mouse, monitor, a dual SATA dock and one end of a USB over cat 5e system
    cables running downstairs: VGA, speaker wire, cat 5e
    downstairs: VGA projector, amp & speakers, USB dock, USB bluetooth adapter, bluetooth controls (probably the ProMini wireless keyboard with trackpad)

    It is possible to use multiple Bluetooth adapters on a single Mac. I have a d-Link USB Bluetooth adapter on my Mini.
    If not, is it possible to disable the internal adapter and use an external USB bluetooth adapter?
    I don't know if it's possible to disable the internal Bluetooth, but why bother? Bluetooth has a range of 33ft, so anything downstairs is likely out of range of the Mini's internal Bluetooth, and the materials in the building is further reducing the signal strength of Bluetooth. 33ft is an optimistic number and I've found that I often have trouble going to the next room, depending on the device.

    Otherwise, since you already have USB heading downstairs, then a USB keyboard and mouse would obviously work. Or a wireless keyboard/mouse, but non-Bluetooth. (i.e.: a wireless keyboard/mouse that comes with it's own USB dongle.)
