TS3195 My mac mini (Snow Leopard, v10.6.8) does not acknowledge my iphone 4, iphone 4s or ipad2 in iPhoto, Image Capture, iSync or Preview but it does in iTunes. I am at a loss for importing photos, short of emailing them. Glitch with OS X 10.6.8 ?

My Mac Mini (v10.6.8) does not acknowledge my iphone as a device in iPhoto, Image Capture, iSync or Preview although, iTunes does. I am at a loss for importing photos other than emailing them to myself. Same problem with my iphone 4, iphone 4s, ipad2 and New iPad. Is this a problem with OS X 10.6.8 as I read some posts claim? Please help.

I was able to import photos in iPhoto and Image capture when I was running SL 10.6.8 on my older MacBook.
Did you try quitting everything, restart the Mac and then try again?
Are there any updates at all for the Mac? I was helping one user not all that long ago and there were updates for her Mac software that had nothing to do with the OS and when she downloaded the updates - the iPad was then recognized in iTunes.

Where can I find the update for my mac mini, OS X v10.8?

Hi. I'm tryin to connect my mac mini with my new HP printer.
The softwere won't start because it says that I don't have de update the softwere needs, which is OS X v10.8 or later.
I have OS X v10.7.5. I have found, on apple's site, OS X v10.8.1 and OS X v10.8.2.
But my mac won't accept to run any of them. It just says that I need OS X v10.8 to run the other updates.
Where can I find the update that I need? I can't find it here on apple's site.
Please! I'we been sitting with thit sh*t for a couple of hous now.
Thankful for your help asap

My mac mini v10.6.8 wont finish installation of update Yosemite and now im stock at boot Please help!!

Try stating in Safe Mode:
OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
Next try reinstalling Yosemite by:
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Mac mini won't update to OS X Mavericks v10.9.3

I have a mac mini, 2011, and it won't update from 10.9.2 to 10.9.3.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for the clarifications.
Looks like your Recovery Partition is your next step.
Before continuing, make sure you have a full backup of all your data.
Restart you computer and during startup, hold the COMMAND +R buttons. Your computer will boot into the recovery partition.
Here is a good explaination on how it all works. http://computers.tutsplus.com/tutorials/os-x-system-recovery-explored-and-explai ned--mac-60375
Firstly I would select Disk Utility to check that your HDD is ok. There is some reason why you keep hitting walls, so before continuing any further, check that the disk is sound.
If all checks out, then select the install OS X option, this will reinstall your OS. It should reinstall and keep your data intact, but have a backup first just in case.
Once installed, you system will be back to the version of 10.9 that was used to create the partition, say 10.9.0, if you installed then and have only used the updates snce. Then you will need to update to 10.9.3 using the App Store again.

OS X v10.8.2 Combo updater issues with new Mac mini?

Anybody had any issues installing this "combo updater" on a new Mac mini?

Your computer requires a special update that it's not available. Wait until Apple releases it

Mac Mini Home Theatre PC + Lion = Big Bag of Hurt

I have a mac mini (2010) connected via HDMI to a switcher and on to either a TV or projector. The TV happens to be on a wall 90° to the projector screen. The audio is also wired via toslink/optical cable to the AV amplifier. The main speakers are aligned with the projection setup so its nice to have the TV sound come from the TV directly sometimes, even though the quality is dreadful compared to the main speakers (as opposed to rich sound coming from only the left side).
Running under Snow Leopard was fine - just switch the audio out from the HDMI to the Optical out at will (as one would expect through the sound output control panel).
Unfortunately I thought it would be cool to update to Lion to have a trackpad rather than the mouse on the coffee table. Bad idea!
Under 10.7.1 it all seemed to be working OK. Sound from main speakers, picture over HDMI on TV or projector. Sweet. Then I tried to change to the TV's speakers via the control panel. Nothing works. Click on either "optical out" or "Panasonic HDMI" and nothing changes, the audio keeps coming through the amplifier to the main speakers. Oh, well, the TV's sound was crap anyway, I could live with this at a push.
Update to 10.7.3. Whoops. Now the sound only comes out through the HDMI cable to the television. Permanently. Again, choosing either option in the control panel has no effect. Apple seems to have hardwired it this way and those options are an illusion. Now, I want to watch a movie - ZERO sound! The projector has no speaker, but apple is sending the audio there along the hdmi and I have no way of routing it to the Toslink cable anymore. Total train smash!! Silent movies - whoo hoo. Fail.
Annoyingly, this isn't a limitation of the hardware at all (it worked perfectly as expected in Snow Leopard) - its obviously a conscious decision. Or no one at apple bothers to test their stuff properly any more. All suggestions summarised - get new hardware - either new AV amplifier which accepts hdmi or extra cables to feed audio back from the TV to the amp!!?? Jeez. It used to work perfectly already without that.
Oh well, restoring to Snow Leopard as I type. Will have to find another use for that magic trackpad I stupidly bought on Monday. So if you have a Mac Mini Home Theatre PC and you need the options on routing video and audio separately, stay away from Lion!

You didn't need Lion in the first place for the track pad:
System Requirements
Bluetooth-enabled Mac computer
Two AA batteries (included)
OS X Snow Leopard v10.6.4 or later
I was using one with my 2010 Mini before Lion in my

Can I install Snow Leopard on a Mac Mini 1.5 Solo?

I bought a used Mac Mini. It is a 2006 I believe. It is a 1.5 Solo Core Intel. 2GB RAM. 60GB HDD.
I bought this for my kids, and wanted to wipe the drive and do a fresh install to ensure there would be no unexpected material to arise from a previous owner. I was given a Snow Leopard MAC OS X V10.6.3 Retail disk with the Mini. By starting from the install disk, I was able to wipe the drive. I did a simple zero data erase. Went smooth. I then started the install of SL. Chose language. Agreed to terms. Chose drive to install on. Told me it had 42 minutes to install. It then went to an error screen telling me the installation failed. Restart and try again. I have been through multiple attenpts at this.
I then decide to try my Leopard MAC OS X v10.5.4 Family Pack install disk that I have. I go through the same process to get an error telling me it could not install "essentials" and that I need to contact the manufacturer of the software.
Just out of morbid curiousity, I decided to put my SL disk in and give it one more try. Now when I get to the selct a disk to install on, it tells me there is a recoverable OS from a previous install that can be restored. Click customize to change install or click continue to recover the previous install. I got to 35 minutes and received the error screen. I have been thoughtful enough to include a picture of the error message I received.
It seems I have hit a wall. I am a mac guy. iPhone 4 / iPhone 5 / Mac G4 PPC Dual 1Ghz 2GB RAM / MacBook Pro 13" 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo 4GB RAM / now this Mac Mini 1.5Ghz Solo Core 2GB RAM and a few others I have sold off over the years. I love them. Always have. But I cannot lie. I am ready to throw this Mini through a wall.
Am I missing something here?

There is no reliable way to test RAM short of a dedicated tester. There are software RAM testers that you can try - TechToolPro can do RAM tests:
http://www.micromat.com/techtoolpro
or you can try Rember/memtest:
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/15837/rember
but they can often find only the most obvious problems, and if there is such a problem it usually prevents the RAM test from running at all. It's worth trying, though, as it may turn up useful information.
As to the logic board, TechToolPro can do some testing there as well, and authorized Apple service centers have additional tools. There is no single "tell tale sign" of a logic board problem since, given the many different functions the logic board performs, there can be many different symptoms.
If things work properly with an external drive but not with an internal drive, I'd guess a problem with the SATA controller chain on the logic board, but that's just a guess. But if that is the case, then a logic board replacement will be necessary, and as you say that's probably not worth it for a Core Solo mini.
Regards.

My Adobe Flash CS6 Color Picker has ODD colors. I'm using Mac Mini OSX 10.8.1. Is there a fix?

My Adobe Flash CS6 Color Picker has ODD colors. I'm using Mac Mini OSX 10.8.1. Is there a fix?
I click on the color picker and where I have seen the normal #0000ff blue color on my windows computer, this mac Mountain lion version shows a purple-ish color. Oddly, If I enter the hex # into the color picker, and use it as a fill, the correct color displays on the stage but when i use the eyedropper on that color, it shows it as the purple color again on the toolbar.
I've seen a similar thing like this happen when using adobe photoshop. However, the usual solution is to just make the managed color profile set to monitor RGB. The only downside with Flash is there is no preference to set that. The color palette in Adobe Photoshop displays as it should with the correct blue.
I should also note that I'm using a Samsung 941bw monitor with my mac mini which could also be part of the problem.
I figured i'd make this post anyway just in case it's the OS & Adobe Flash CS6 and not the monitor.
I've included a screenshot as well that shows that i've chosen the purple color and then made a rectangle shape on the stage and it comes out blue.
Thanks ahead for your response(s)

Seems misleading that on the adobe site for Adobe Flash CS6 it says:
System requirements:
Mac OS X v10.6.8 or v10.7. Adobe Creative Suite 5, CS5.5, and CS6 applications support Mac OS X Mountain Lion (v10.8) when installed on Intel based systems.**

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
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       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
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later

Mac mini with 10.6 installed - dual boot 10.8?

Hi all
I have an a Mac mini with 10.6.8 installed (think it came with 10.5) and would like to buy Mountain Lion from the Apple Store and install it as a dual boot setup. I think the hardware is too old for 10.10 (although it does give me the option to download it from the App store). I would like to keep my existing install and install 10.8 either alongside 10.6 or on a separate partition. Couple of questions;
Can I shrink the partition that contains my existing 10.6 install (there is plenty of space on the disk), create another partition and install 10.8 onto it?
Failing that can I install 10.8 alongside 10.6 on the same partition (like we used to do for OS9 and OSX)?
For 10.8 I will be receiving a "content code" for the Mac App Store - once I download the files and start the install presumably the Mac will restart and I will get access to the usual install utilities (without the OS running)?
Many thanks for any help.

If your computer will run Mountain Lion, it will run Yosemite.
1. Yes.
2. I would go with 2 partitions.
Yes.
Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks/Yosemite.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
8 GB or more of available space
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.
Application Compatibility
Applications Compatibility (2)
Do a backup before installing.
