Mac Mini Late 2009 support white Apple Remote?

Just got a refurb 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2GB 1067 MHz DDR3 running 10.6.3 to replace my G4 Mini (using Mira remote)as a Media Centre. I've installed EyeTV and the EyeTV remote works fine, but the white Apple Remote I have does not. Remotes are not disabled in Preferences - remote just doesn't register at all. This remote though does work with my MacBook as well as the G4, so no problem with that.
Do these new Minis support the old remotes? I've also just installed Boxee; any remote issues with this?

The white apple remote should work fine with any Intel Mini -- although I can imagine a scenario in which third-party products/software might interfere.
(BTW where are you finding a Preference setting for disabling an Apple remote?)

  • How can i share folders at Mac mini late 2009 with Apple Tv 3?

    I'm using Mac mini 2009 and I can't share any folder with Apple tv 3...anyone managed to get a way to do so, so far?

    I have a WLAN at home conneting Mac mini (late 2009), PS3 slim and xbox 360 in the living room and I would love to share whats on the Mac mini with AT3 in the guest room upstairs, physically it wont be possible to control both screens at the same times. The files I have are on external HD connected via firewire + USB to Mac mini and they are a mix of avi, mp4, mpeg etc. I'm talking about 3 TB of movies and series (its still legal here in Dubai to download ;-)). starting to convert such amount of files its not an option. AirParrot is a good option when I have media stored on my MacBook pro and would like to play it no AT3 but I used Beamer it works great for such function.
    any ideas folks ?

  • Airport Extreme not working after downloading 10.8.3 on Mac Mini Late 2009

    I downloaded latest upgrade OS X 10.8.3.  This is onto a Mac Mini (late 2009).  The Mini is hooked up to Cable Ethernet.  I use the Mini's Airport Extreme to use as a Hub for other Apple devices to get onto the internet.  I was enabling this through internet sharing through the sharing tab on system preferences.  it has worked for years.  I have restarted and tried several times.  I do not know what to do .  The names of the computers have not changed.  I am a user not a whiz bang programmer type, it is very frustrating.

    Hi, might try this...
    Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2712
    10.7 & 10.8…
    System Preferences>Network, top of window>Locations>Edit Locations, little plus icon, give it a name.
    10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...
    System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
    The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
    Try setting up Internet Sharing in the new location.

  • HT3986 Mac mini later 2009-- can i install windows 7 -64 bit on it?

    hi there,
    can i install dual system on mac mini later 2009?
    windows 7 32bit or 64 bit?
    thanks

    Although I have the "Early" 2009 mini, I believe they're close enough.
    I have a dual system installed. Mac OS X Mountain Lion and Windows 7 64 bit. I have 8GB of RAM.
    You should be aware though that Apple does not officially support the 64 bit version of Windows 7 on this machine, although it seems to be working for the most part using Boot Camp 4.0 drivers.
    My only complaint is about the nForce Ethernet Driver. There seems to be some problem with it. Whenever the nVidia Control Panel for video is launched, there is an error reported:
    The ethernet itself appears to be working fine using some driver dated back to 2010. While I can go to nVidia's website and locate an updated driver for the GeForce 9400 GPU, I cannot seem to find one for the nForce Ethernet. Honestly, I am not even interested in the Network Control panel, but I get another error when I try to uninstall it.
    Would be nice is this could be fixed. Windows 7 32 bit didn't have this issue but I want to run the 64 bit version so I can see all of my RAM.

  • Mac Mini (Late 2009) firewire 800 failure

    Good morning,
    I have a Mac Mini (late 2009), with an external Lacie hardrive 1TB connected via firewire 800.  Woke up one morning to see that my hard drive had dismounted. So  I restarted my mac and external hardrive to see that it no longer appeared on my desktop, in finder nor in system profiler.
    So I decided to connect the hard drive via FW800 on my mac laptop, it appeared as it should. I also managed to connect the External hardrive via USB on my Mac Mini which worked.
    My question is this: Is there something i can do to reset my mac in hopes that the FW800 functions? Or do I need to schedule a repair?
    Many thanks,
    SPJ

    You could do the standard troubleshooting steps.
    Zap the PRAM by holding down Command-Shift-P-R
    Reset the SMC see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
    Disconnect all cables (literally all) and then reconnect with as few as needed for an initial test, i.e. just power, keyboard/mouse, screen and of course the hard disk
    In Apple System Profiler have a look at the FireWire entry and see what is listed, hopefully the interface itself is listed
    Consider using USB instead of FireWire, this will save you the cost of a repair but will be slightly slower
    Consider selling the Mac mini with this known fault and then buying yourself a new or refurbished one, the difference might not cost that much more than a new logic board and labour which is the part involved here

  • Mac Mini late 2009 und Handoff

    Hallo
    wird die Handoff Funktion in der finalen Yosemite Version auch auf meinem Mac Mini late 2009 funktionieren? Oder wird zumindest eine passende Airportkarte empfohlen? Selbst ein Bluetooth Dongle wäre noch ok. Hab meinem Mini erst vor kurzem 8 GM Ram und eine SSD spendiert. Ich kenne einige, die noch sehr zufrieden mit ihren Geräten sind, die nicht aus aktuellen Baureihen stammen. Bitte macht die Kompatibilität möglich.

    Likely not per:
    http://blogs.computerworld.com/wireless-networking/24042/os-x-yosemite-apples-bl uetooth-handoff-trade
    Apple hasn't yet confirmed these claims and it is unlikely it will at this stage of development, but a German Apple website claims those Macs that will support Handoff/Continuity include:
    MacBook Air (mid-2011 and above)
    MacBook Pro (mid-2012 and above)
    Retina MacBook Pro (mid-2012 and above)
    iMac (late 2012 and above)
    Mac mini (mid-2011 and above)
    Mac Pro (2013 and above)
    The iPad 2 lacks Bluetooth 4.0.

  • How do I remove a disk from my mac mini (late 2009)?

    I am trying to regain my mac mini (late 2009) which came with OS X Snow Leopard.  WHY?   Because, after spending quite a few bucks, I have tried and failed to find a suitable substitute for APPLEWORKS.  (I still have the disk) 
    I erased the Mac Mini's memory, so it is blank READY FOR me to install Snow Leopard. I still have 10.6.3 install disks.
    HA HA.   That's a laugh. 
    1) After I put it in the MM,& started it up using my 10.6.3 install disk. The install app told me I couldn't install this system on this computer.  WHY WHY?
    2) Now I have a 10.6.3 disk stuck in the MM and I don't know how to get it out.
    Anybody PLEASE PLEASE !!
    (Normally I use a MM (mid 2011) but I want this other MM available to me.)

    Dear Allan,  Very interesting solutions to a stuck disk.  I'm going to keep it for future.
    I finally did get my disk out - because I started up using my Mtn.Lion BU (it's a Firewire) which I connected to my old MM late 2009.  There she was & I ejected it.
    And I did finally get my MM  2009 working again with Snow Leopard - with the great help from ds store.
    So now I have my Appleworks back too.   YAH!

  • Mac Mini (late 2009) won't connect to wireless internet

    The strangest thing happened to me just recently, a conflicting IP address appeared on my Mac Mini (late 2009) a few days ago. This IP was from one of my other computers. After this other computer had been shut down ever since, I keep on getting theses window messages saying "There is a conflicting IP tommiller". I decided to restart my Mac mini only a few hours ago. I returned and the message stopped appearing, but now I can't connect to my wireless Internet. An exclamation mark appears over the airport icon in the menu bar. I took forth all the steps to restart my wireless router, but nothing worked. The wireless works fine on all my devices except the Mac mini. What really freaked me out is that I have a portable Verzion MIFI, and my Mac Mini can't even connect to that. I'm very knowledgeable with Macs, but I've never had this happen to me before. My worst nightmare would be that the wireless card is shot. If anyone has the answer to end my stressful night, I'd really appreciate it.
    Thanks,
    Tom Miller

    Log onto your router and see what IP address are being used.
    Then try setting a fixed IP address well away from any of those, using Network settings in system preferences. See if that solves the problem.

  • Mac Mini Late 2009 - Lost monitor mirror after Mountain Lion Update

    I have a mac mini late 2009, mirror to dual monitors was working fine prior to Mountain Lion update. After update I have lost that function. The icon top right is gone. Basic functions like that should never disappear. Please fix on upcoming os builds.
    System preferences Mirror options checked.
    I have been running dual monitor on this mac since purchase. Monitor 1 is 24" display, Montor 2 is a 32" 720dpi tv only used for watching videos. This set up has been running well.
    The dual monitor function works fine but I never use it that way. I am interested in "mirror" option when watching a video from various applications.
    Again this was working fine until ML update.
    Any one else experience this issue?

    Oh. You are so in jail.
    Plug the mini straight into the wall power supply.
    You do have 4 - 8GB memory installed, right?
    Disconnect everything but power and the display port to regular monitor connection. Make sure that external monitor is switched to the type of connection: DVI, HDMI, VGA. Wrong setting and your mini could be booted up sneering at you from behind a dark screen.
    Boot mini.
    Any change?

  • HT202856 Can the Mac Mini (Late 2014) support 4k display @ 60 Hz via the DisplayPort?

    Dear Experienced Apple Guru,
    Apple made it clear on the Tech Specs for the Mac Mini (Late 2014) that a 4k display can be supported via the HDMI port at 30 Hz. But, can we also be clear how many Hertz the Mac Mini can handle with a 4k display via the Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt 2)?
    I have a site linked here saying that the DisplayPort 1.2 can handle up to nearly 20 Gbps, thus can handle 4k display at 60 Hz:
    "DisplayPort version 1.2 can support video resolutions of up to 3840 x 2160 pixels (4K) at a refresh rate of 60 Hz, and it supports all common 3D video formats. In terms of bandwidth, it can manage 17.28 Gbps. Version 1.3, when it arrives, will support up to 8192 x 4320 (8K) resolution, or two simultaneous 4K streams. It will also double bandwidth to 32.4 Gbps.
    Meanwhile, HDMI version 1.4 is the most common at the moment. This supports the same 4K resolution as DisplayPort 1.2, but at just 30 Hz (or 4096 x 2160 at 24 Hz). HDMI 2.0 is new on the scene in a few devices such as this Sony TV. This doubles the refresh rate to 60 Hz as well as increases bandwidth from 10.2- to 18 Gbps."
    Thanks,
    Trevalyn

    That have enabled DP 1.2 on their monitor and used a DP 1.2 cable but still only get 30 Hz at 4K.
    The MAC does not support MST

  • Does mac mini (late 2014) supports dual-band wifi sharing?

    Hello,
    First of all, i'm not native speaker, so, please excuse my poor english.
    I have a mac mini (late 2014) and use the wifi-sharing feature of yosemite.
    (Ethernet is connected to Mac mini and other devices such as mac air are connected to Mac mini through wifi)
    For wifi-sharing, channel 44 is used, and as i know, it is located on 5Ghz band.
    By the way, i plan to buy a sony srs x7 bluetooth speaker which also supports airplay only on 2.4GHz wifi internet.
    If i wanna connect that speaker to Mac-mini's hotspot, should i change the wifi-channel of mac-mini to 2.4GHz band? or, can mac mini provides wifi hotspot for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz simultaneously?

    Bluetooth is a different network than the wifi network. BT is 2.4 GHz only while wifi cn be 2.4 and/or 5 GHz.
    Your BT speakers will work fine using the BT capability of the Mac

  • How do I pair my new Mac mini (mid 2011) and white Apple Wireless Keyboard (2003)?

    I just bought a new Mac mini (mid 2011) and can not set it up via my Apple Wireless Keyboard (2003). I'm disheartened but not surprised that my Bluetooth 4.0 Mac isn't backwards-compatible with my Bluetooth 1.0 keyboard. But I can't find any documentation confirming the fact that my non-paired, but tested & perfectly functioning keyboard will not work with current Macs.
    I was however, able to locate a tech support doc (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4112) that mentions my Apple Wireless Keyboard (2003) is not compatible with iOS devices. (Which is not critical because iOS provides a non-physical keyboard. Aside, it would be lovely were Apple to add a non-physical keyboard to Mac OS X, if only so new desktop owners can continue to set up their Macs in a pinch.)

    I just bought a new mini mac (lion 2011) with a wireless keyboard.  I could not get the mac to recognise the keyboard.  Spent several hours back with the Genius team who replaced keyboard and mac but did not get anywhere.  They gave me a wired keyboard, was able to configure the mac and then it recognised the wireless keyboard.
    Seems this is a problem with the new mac/OS

  • How do I restore Mac Mini late 2009 to factory settings. Error occurs.

    I have a late 2009 Mac Mini with 2.26 ghz core and 2 GB memory running Lion 10.7.4. I wish to restore my computer to factory settings but when I put in my Snow Leopard disc I continue to get an error message that reads "You can't use this version of the application Install Mac OS X with this version of Mac OS X. You have Install Mac OS X 23.1.1."
    I wish to restore my Mac to Snow Leopard and then redownload Lion from the App Store and start fresh with 10.7.4 on my restored Mac but I am finding it incredibly difficult.

    You might have to erase the Drive first, but did you try reinstalling Lion from the Restore Partition?
    Hold CMD+r keys at bootup?
    Otherwise...
      1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
       2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
          *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
       3. Click the Erase tab.

  • How to install Windows 7 on Mac mini Late 2009

    After I upgraded to Mavericks from Lion, I can't edit info.plist file to enable the 'Create Windows bootable USB flash drive' feature in Boot Camp 5.1. Who can help me, please?

    I've been trying. I've created a USB bootable drive with Bootcamp, and I am still getting "No Bootable Device."
    This is annoying.
    I've read so many things. From "If you don't have an Optical Drive, can only do it from USB." to "You need an Optical Drive."
    My computer is the newest Mac Mini with zero Optical Drive. So USB is the only option. Still Stuck. Still Sad. Still Wondering.
    Best,

  • IDVD 7.04 on Mac Mini (Late 2009) Connected HDMI to 46 Toshiba LCD

    I suspect that there is a video setting that is wrong, but has anyone been able to get iDVD to not crash with the hardware connection in the subject? iDVD keeps crashing right when I am ready to add videos to my project.

    sounds like an awesome setup. Unfortunately, only one of my two monitors has an HDMI input. Also, even when hooking up just the one with HDMI to my Mac mini, it still displays "no signal" and I have two different converters I've tried. Perhaps it's just not meant to be. I will have to settle with DVI connections for both monitors...not the end of the world. I shouldn't complain. 
    Thanks for the quick answer and advise.
