Mac mini and Snow leopard wireless problems

Hi,
I got mac mini running snow leopard to our office from another branch, this is recently brought mac mini with snow leopard installed,
But the problem is I cannot connect to internet using wireless connections. Reading other posts i found out that there is a snow leopard issues with connecting to wireless network, but this problem seems to unique. When i connect to wireless network it shows me that, mac mini is connected to wireless network but doesn't take ip address from dhcp , its show some self assigned ip which is 169.254.226.163, but my network address are 192.168.1.*, ethernet works fines,but in wireless even when i gave manual ip , it connect but i cannot connect to internet neither i can ping to router.
I tried various methods suggests in forms, like deleting network preference files in /Library/Preferences and ~/Library/Preferences and also deleting network connection and adding new one, even updating to 10.6.3 but nothing works for me,
My macbook nicely connected to wireless and get ip, even PC connect nicely this issue is only with Mac mini
Could have suggest me how can i fixed this, Thank you very much,
Best Regards,
Waruna.

Thanks DaddyPaycheck for your initial response. Before I jump onto the phone with Comcast couple of questions that I have for clarification purposes:
1) Are you implying that I must link my blabla.com address to that static IP address through my Domain Provider? See following example:
Record Type Record Host Record Answer TTL
A *.blablat.com >>Static IP<< 300
2) The current IP I have been given 60.172.151.254, why is that not static or how do you know it is not static?
3) When executing the command host in terminal for this IP address it returns the following: c-60-172-151-254.hsdl.co.comcast.net which coincidentally is the same as primary DNS it recommended during the initial configuration of the Mini Server. What does this mean? When I enter this in Safari it results in 'Safari can't connect to server'.
4) Executing the same command for my domain name 'blabla.com' it results in my 'internal' IP address '1.0.10.9'.
Thanks in advance for any clarification you can provide,
Tiest.

Can the new Mac Mini boot Snow Leopard from an external hard drive?

I currently boot my 2009 Mac Mini from a FW800 external drive with 10.6.8. If I just plug my external drive into a new 2011 Mac Mini, will it boot into Snow Leopard if I set it as the startup disk or will I get a kernel panic?

I bought a 2011 Mac Mini, which came with Lion installed. I thought maybe I could repartition it and have a Snow Leopard partition. So I repartitioned it (500gb split into two 250gb partitions). I named the new partition "SnowLeopard" just to make it easy for me to tell the difference.
I attached the external DVD and put in a Snow Leopard installer disc, holding down the C key so it would boot and install from that, but it just spun for awhile. Doesn't appear to work.
Then I read somewhere else that someone had managed to clone a copy of Snow Leopard onto an external drive and boot from that. In their situation they were talking about a MacBook, but the principle seemed sane.
So I rebooted, holding down the T key to put the Mac Mini into Target hard disk mode, and attached it via Firewire to another MacMini (circa 2008 or so, not sure of year, but it was upgraded last year to Snow Leopard and has been upgraded along and along). Then I used Carbon Copy Cloner to copy Snow Leopard (that is, the entire hard disk-- System and all applications and data) to my newer Mac Mini's "snow leopard" partition.
For yucks, when it was done cloning, I restarted the older Mac Mini, and had it boot from the newer Mac Mini's snow leopard partition--- it worked! To make it easy to tell the difference, I changed the desktop background to something completely different. I think I tried booting from Lion but I can't remember if that worked.
Then I rebooted the newer Mac Mini, which booted up in Lion, of course. Going into System Settings, I changed the startup disk to the "snow leopard" partition, and rebooted, and it booted up in Snow Leopard.
I have yet to test the applications on the Snow Leopard partition. Another problem has arisen.
Because with both of the Mac MInis being active on the network, they both had the same computer and user name. So I renamed the newer Mac Mini to something completely different, and changed the password.
Unfortunately, now I cannot change any other setting in the System Settings that requires a password. While the newer Snow Leopard lets me log in with the new user and new password, whenever I try to click the "lock" icon to change something, I'm prompted for a username and password. Apparently this is some different username and password than either the new or old username/password.
I've tried various combinations of both: new user/old password, old user/new password, old user/old password, etc.
So if you do what I've done, be careful about changing the username and password on your cloned computer. I think it may be wiser to create a new user and then delete the old cloned users. I may just have to re-clone the old Mac Mini to the new one again.
If anyone has any ideas about this password conundrum, please pass along!

How do I find what taking up all my hardrive space on my mac mini running snow leopard ?

Hi Gibby,
How much free space is on the HD, where has all the space gone?
OmniDiskSweeper is likely the easiest/best, and is now free...

And if needed, you can use Terminal to run it in admin mode to see files/folders your user can't see...

Wiki Server support on Mac Mini with Snow Leopard?

Hi
I am considering buying Mac Mini with Snow Leopard server. Before that, I want to know about wiki server 2 capabilities. Wiki Server 2 page says following:
"Mac OS X Server makes it easy for groups to collaborate and communicate through their own wiki-powered intranet website complete with group calendar, blog, and mailing list"
I am planning to setup wiki server for a small group of users over Internet (and not intranet) to exchange information and so it should look something like wiki.mydomain.com with login capabilities for user(and again, this is over internet).
My Question: Can wiki server 2 work with web server to support above (or similar) setup?
If not, what can be done to support above setup?
Response appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

Jason, what is your source of information that this is a supported configuration?
I work at Apple. Thats why I have the !http://discussions.apple.com/images/status/apple_employee-16x16.gif! logo below my username.
The new Mac mini comes in three different configurations, two of those have the standard version of Snow Leopard.
There is an article that addresses issues similar to this here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2186, but switching from Snow Leopard Server to Snow Leopard is not like trying to install Tiger when the Mac mini came with Snow Leopard.
You can also verify this by contacting an Apple specialist at: 1-800-MY-APPLE or call U.S. iPod and Mac technical support at: 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273).

i have a mac os x snow leopard. my problem is that when i go to the ethernet settings it shows 'not connected'. i called the internet person even he couldn't fix it PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

System Preferences > Network > Ethernet? If that shows "not connected" that is all your Mac knows. As far as it is concerned there is no cable connected to the port on your Mac, or the other end of the cable is either disconnected or connected to something that is broken.
Try another cable. If the cable is broken you will also get that status message. If you have exhausted all of these possibilities, the only remaining cause is an inoperative port on your Mac.

Moving accounts from Snow Leopard Macs to Mac mini with Snow Leopard Server

I got my brand spanking new Mac mini today with Snow Leopard Server! So far, we (at home) were managing our accounts on individual iMacs and a MacBook Pro. While I will be getting into the innards of account migration, management etc. I thought I'd post a quick question here; Currently I have an iMac with three user accounts on it (wife and two kids). I also have my own personal MacBook Pro with my account (the only Admin account) on it. We'll soon be getting another iMac for our daughter (who currently has an account on the existing iMac). My idea in getting the Mac mini was to move to and centrally manage all the user accounts in the household on the Mac mini server. What is the best way to accomplish this? What is the best way to move the existing accounts on to the server?
Additionally, I'll be looking into connecting the two stationary iMacs with Powerline Ethernet (where one runs Ethernet over existing electrical wires in the walls). My other option would be to rely on wireless network (I don't think this would be a good idea for if I am going to be placing the user accounts on the server and there needs to be a constant on, reliable connection between the server and the client computers as they will be talking to each other a lot!). Any thoughts on Powerline? (I am not looking forward to installing Ethernet cabling behind walls :o))
What say the wise men of Mactopia?!
Thanks,
Kenneth.
P.S. I had earlier accidentally posted this in the corresponding section of Mac OS X instead of the Mac OS X Server forum.

Ok so the esiest way to explain this is to tell you what i just went through.
I have 3 user accounts. All the accounts are network Users meaning that there home folder are kept on the server. I was having a problem with Time Machine giving me error 41 and error 11. After scratching my head for 2 days I ended up copying (Drag-n-Drop) the Home Folders to an External Hard Drive. I then proceeded to erase both of the internal hard drives on the mac mini and did a fresh local install of the Server OS.
Everything was fine at that point. Now this is where Snow Leopard stopped being nice.
I went and Created the user account again using WGM. I let WGW create the home folder and the 9 folder inside. I made sure the short names were the same and the passwords were the same as they were previously.
However, once i Copied files from the external drive to the home folders the permissions copied as well, Which i guess should be expected. So now at this point apparently the UID's of the newly created users wasn't the same as they were before the clean install. I have multiple instances of root listed in the ACL for several folders and also had several instances of System listed sporadically.
Now, This isn't to say that you can't drag n drop because now That I have it all squared away and everything is now working ok, I would probably still drag n drop the home folder off to an external disk, but only because I now know what to do to clean things up.
if you drag and drop be sure to use the CHOWN command and theCHMOD commands afterwards. Take a look at this MacFixIt article: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20013630-263.html?tag=mncol;title
If you copy your local imac users to the home directory on the server you may want to follow the steps on the URL I gave plus you will most likely also have to do the following. In a nutshell you are going to use the chmod command to strip all the ACL Permissions then you are going to use the chown command to re-specify the correct owner and the correct permissions for the network user.
!) Go into ServerAdmin and click on Sharing
2) Go to the users folder you are using and select the user you are going to work with.
3) Click on the Permissions option
4) click on the +sign at the bottom (this will open the users & groups list to the right)
5) Drag the current user from the users list to the owner permissions line under posix section
5a) Click Save
6) Click on the Gear button at the bottom
7) Check the box for Owner Name and Owner Permissions.
8) Uncheck the box for Access Control List then click ok
Once you've gone through that rigmarole you can go back into ServerAdmin and fix the permissions for public and Sites folder which should only take a minute or so.
So the moral of this story and as I found out when i ended up calling Enterprise support is that the act of dragging and dropping user home directories from one server to another, or as in your case, from a local machine to a the server isn't anything that apple recommends or supports. you might want to read through the man pages for "Ditto" or so apple tells me, but honestly now that you know, the steps above aren't all that bad. It's true Knowing IS half the battle!
have Fun!
P.S. FWIW If you run into problems and have to call Enterprise Support be prepared for them to tell you to refer to the user Guides. So reading those would be to your advantage even though they aren't the easiest things to understand unlike apple's consumer products user guides

HT1352 After Accepting Update On 32-bit Mac Mini Running Snow Leopard 10.6.8, The Mac Won't Boot

About a month ago, I was using my older Mac-Mini which was running 10.6.8, a screen came up from the Mac App Store, telling me that an update to OS X was available so I took the update.
I regret it now. When the Mac restarted itself, it went down, but it hasn't been back up since.
I've been around Macs a long time now, and I should know by now to restart, quitting all of my apps and everything as much as possible. The Apple updater really should restart before and after a system update, in my humble opinion.
But, I want to get my old Mac running again now.
I've researched this some and I've tried the following
* Disconnected all peripherals, except the monitor, and cycled power.
* Cycled the power and tried to zap the P-RAM (NV-RAM)
* Cycled the power and then hold down the "D" key (for diagnostic).
* Cycled the power again and hold down the Option key (to boot from the original optical disk).
* Cycled the power again and hold down the "C" key (ditto)
* Cycled the power again and hold down Command-V (for verbose mode)
* Cycled the power again and hold down Option-Command-O-F (to get into open-firmare) I don't know if I have an open-firmare password, but nothing else worked.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1352
Maybe open-firmare isn't the issue as to why the other key-combinations didn't work.
I've tried a different keyboard and mouse.
I doubt that the problem is a hardware problem. The problem seems so highly correlated with my taking anothing OS update from Apple.

@Carolyn, thank you very much for your reply. I appreciate you taking the time to try and help me.
> Hold down the C key to boot from an install disc, not the Option key.
I inserted my Snow Leopard install disk and cycled the power, holding downt he C key and I got to the grey screen with the Apple logo in the center of the screen with a little spinning progress indicator. This is what I always get.
> Try booting in Safe Mode and verify the startup disk for errors.
> Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
> A Safe Mode boot takes much longer than a normal boot so be patient.
I carefully read and followed the link on Safe Mode that you provided and I got the same result as always.
> Once you are in Safe Mode, launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
> Select the startup disk on the left then select the First tab.
> Click Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
Maybe it is something of a hardware problem. Maybe the disk does need to be repaired, but I can't get in to repair it now.
I will keep this in mind when taking updates from Apple in the future.
1. Quit all applications.
2. Verify the disk and repair any errors.
3. Restart.
4. Then, let Apple update my software.
> Boot from your install disc while holding down the C key if Disk Utility reports problems.
> Mac OS X 10.6: Reinstalling Mac OS X
I've done this before, with the same Mac-Mini and the same optiical disk, and it worked.
I also tried starting in target-disk mode, but I always get the same result, the grey screen with an Apple logo and a spinning progress indicator.
I don't know what else to try.

Mac Mini /w Snow Leopard Server and Time Capsule: unavailable on www

Hello all,
Seeking some help with an issue that I cannot resolve and/or do not fully understand.
What I would like to achieve:
Make my newly purchased mac mini server available on the world wide web using my own web address, e.g. blabla.com.
Situation/Details:
I have installed and re-installed my mini server several times as I am doubt the correctness of the settings for the primary dns, currently set for 'blabla.com' and computer name 'miniserver'. The miniserver is connected with a network cable to my timecapsule and has been allocated the IP address 1.0.10.9 - time capsule has IP address '1.0.10.1'.
As the time capsule is connected to the internet - provided through Comcast - the following IP Address has been assigned '60.172.151.254' which seems to be my static external IP address. Furthermore I have a router address '60.172.148.1' for which I am unsure of its purpose.
Problem:
How do I 'link' my server to my www address so I can access deployed services over the internet? I have been reading about 'Port Forwarding', NAT etc but I am lost in what to do. Can someone help me out with this problem I am facing?
Thanks in advance for any comments/suggestions,
Tiest

Users and Groups on Mac Mini Running Snow Leopard

I recently purchased a Mac Mini Server. I have the internal drives setup as 500gb RAID. An external 2TB is connected to the firewire partitioned into two volumes - one for TimeMachine and one for media, etc. I have loaded iLife on the machine.
My intent to have the Mini act primarily as media center for movies, etc, with the HDMI connected to our Yamaha receiver (and Samsung TV monitor). I am would like to also sync our iPhones with this Mini (since it will have the lion's share of the media loaded on it) and have it act as a repository for TimeMachine backups from our Macbook Pros.
I need some assistance on how to best set up the users and groups on the Mini to manage the users on the Macbook Pros, and provide a relatively seamless access to the media when it's time to listen to music or watch a show. Can someone give me a basic outline one what to do?

The building had a scheduled power outage to replace an electric meter, but the machine was unplugged at the time.
When I look in the System Profiler > Network, the only active services listed are: AirPort, Bluetooth DUN, and Firewire.

How can I find out if my mac mini running snow leopard can be upgraded to mountain lion?

I have a mac mini with sufficient ram for the mountain lion OS however, I am unable to determine if the machine was created in early 2009. Is there a way to make sure my machine will take the upgrade without purchasing the operating system first?

Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor

       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later

Mac Mini w/ Snow Leopard hibernating when it shouldn't

Hi, two Snow Leopard bugs to report:
1. I've got a Mac Mini (from ~early 08) which I've recently upgraded to Snow Leopard. I've got the Energy Saver control panel set to never allow the machine to go to sleep or to sleep the display. However, I hear the machine going into hibernation sometimes when it should be just idling in the Finder. I've snipped out the useful part of my system.log that shows the machine going to sleep and then waking back up when I hit a key:

Oct 21 16:48:27 macmini com.apple.WebKit.PluginAgent[541]: Debugger() was called!
I confirmed that I have all the auto-sleep/hibernate stuff disabled:
% sudo pmset -g
Active Profiles:
AC Power -1*
Currently in use:
hibernatemode 0
womp 1
sleep 0
powerbutton 1
disksleep 10
hibernatefile /var/vm/sleepimage
autorestart 0
ttyskeepawake 1
displaysleep 0
2. Once the machine has gone to sleep for a while, it never seems capable of re-detecting the display which is hooked up to it (a Panasonic projector running through a Monoprice switcher). The only way I can then get the display back is to ssh into the machine and do a 'sudo reboot'. Very frustrating.
Any ideas about either of these [related] issues?
thanks!
Any ideas?

Have you tried trashing /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist, & if you have one, /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.AutoWake.plist? Or toggling between one of the preset Energy Saver settings & your normal one?
Also, very unlikely to be the problem but make sure no uninterruptible power supply emergency shutdown settings are somehow in effect with the pmset -g ups terminal command -- I think you should see:
<pre>UPS settings:haltlevel off 0
haltafter off 0
haltremain off 0</pre>
Regarding your other problem, does it make any difference if the display is connected directly to the Mini, without using the switcher?

Airport not working on my mac mini with snow leopard

hello my airport on my mac mini 80 gb with snow leopard 10.5 is not working so i can not connect to the internet,i had a problem and re-installed snow leopard but i cannot to the internet now,i go to system preferences and network and i have tried to setup manually but to no avail,i click on airport in utilities and do a scan but it shows nothing,any ideas please?
thank you.

i have tried every thing and still cannot get on the internet,i think it is because i keep booting into safe mode,i had put in a sudo command to boot to safe mode and then i re-installed snow leopard but it still boots into safe mode,i just tried the sudo command sudo nvram boot -args = " "
but i got the error nvram:error (-1) getting variable - 'boot'
any ideas please?
thank you.
