Mac mini running 10.6 - what is the max external HD space supported

I would like to purchase a mac mini and would like to attach 2 external drives in enclosures for data/mirroring. Does anyone know the max HD size supported by the mac mini running 10.6?
Thanks!

The maximum HD size is for all practical purposes the total that its file system(s) support. For HFS+ file systems, that would be close to 8 exabytes per volume. (See Mac OS X: Mac OS Extended format (HFS Plus) volume and file limits for more about this.)
IOW, you will not have to worry about hitting the limits with any HD's available in the foreseeable future!

    What is the max number of hyperlinks supported in a PDF docment?
    How do I find out how many hyperlinks there are in a PDF document?

    I don't think there's a limit to the number of links you can add to a file...
    This code (taken from the reference files) will report the number of links in your file:
    var numLinks=0;
    for ( var p = 0; p < this.numPages; p++)
    var b = this.getPageBox("Crop", p);
    var l = this.getLinks(p, b);
    console.println("Number of Links on page " + p +" is " + l.length);
    numLinks += l.length;
    console.println("Number of Links in Document is " + numLinks);

  • My Mac Mini runs great except for on the admin user profile, WHY?

    My mac mini runs great on any other profile axcept for the admin profile. It's very frustrating because that's where all of MY pictures, documents and links were! Can anyone offer any help?

    Hi,
    Thanks for the link to MacPilot, and the sexy screenshot. I found an archived version for 10.4 on the koingosw website. That solves getting into single user/safe mode. Though I'd be interested to see whether sudo nvram boot-args="-s" will result in single user boot.
    As for creating administrator priveleges for my new user account, I've found a method which looks good:
         \single user mode\
         cmd-s
         \mount drive\
         mount -uw
         \open 'directory access'\
         lauchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.opendirectory.plist
         \list users\
         ls /Users
         \change password\
         dscl . passwd /Users/<username> <password>
    I think that this method intends that if I change the root users password I'll be changing the administrator password  (as root is the only user with administrator priveleges), and subsequently be able to change my new user accounts priveleges using 'netinfomanager'. But I'm not 100%. Could you give me your opinion on this?
    Furthermore, three keys 'L' 'O' and '(' aren't working on my keyboard, which means I can't try this until I find an intact keyboard to borrow. I was thinking maybe a mod version of the above instructions would work in terminal using sudo, so I could use the keyboard viewer to type the missing characters. If you have any ideas on constructing such a mod I would be interested to hear them.
    Otherwise, Thank You for your help BDAqua! And enjoy your summer wherever you are.

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

    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...
    http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnidisksweeper/download/
    And if needed, you can use Terminal to run it in admin mode to see files/folders your user can't see...

  • I just connected my Mac Mini running OS 10.6.8 to a IG 32' monitor. What resolution should I select from the menu?

    I just connected my wife's Mac Mini running OS 10.6.8 to an IG 32' monitor. What resolution should I select from the menu in order to provide maximum screen appearance? My wife has AMD and a visual acuity of 20/400 with central scotonata.

    In System Preferences:Displays you have an option to show
    Displays Prefs in the title bar above the screen - where she can
    iteratively adjust to her liking. Higher screen resolutions, ironically,
    result in smaller characters so adjust to suit. Below, Displays is
    4th from L.
    All best, Tom

  • I downloaded and installed the: Mac mini EFI Firmware Update 1.6 on my mac mini running 10.8.1, was I correct in doing this ?

    I downloaded and installed the: Mac mini EFI Firmware Update 1.6 on my mac mini running 10.8.1, was I correct in doing this ?
    I didn't see this update come up in "Software Update"
    If I was not meant to install this update, would it cause ANY damage at all to my mac ( this is my second as I dropped the first )
    If I were to re-install ML would this fix any errors that this may have caused ?
    The bottom of the page I link to says:
    Boot ROM or SMC Version Information: MM51.0077.10
    But when I click on "About this Mac" it says:
    Boot ROM Version:          MM51.0077.B10
      SMC Version (system):          1.75f0
    What does the additional "B" mean?
    My mac mini is the Mid 2011 Model.
    I am sorry if I am sounding super paranoid about this, but I don't want to have caused any permanent damage.

    Hello,
    It's somewhere between almost impossible & impossible to install the wrong EFI Update with all the checks it does!
    Mac mini (Mid 2011) with Intel graphics
    Macmini5,1
    MM51.0077.B10 (EFI 1.6)
    Mac mini (Mid 2011) with Radeon graphics
    Macmini5,2
    MM51.0077.B10 (EFI 1.6)
    Mac mini Server (Mid 2011)
    Macmini5,3
    MM51.0077.B10 (EFI 1.6)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237
    Not sure what the B means.
    If I were to re-install ML would this fix any errors that this may have caused ?
    No, Firmware is unaffected by any OS change or re-install.

    What external dvd burner is compatible with my 2007 mac mini running OS X 10.5.8?

    I have an LG GE24LU20 and works great with either my iMac or Mac Mini.

    Heck' I can even open and close the tray from my menu bar icon,
    plus it is way faster and less finicky than the superdrives.

  • I'm using LR5.7 on a Mac Mini running Mavericks and when I attempt to import a folder of new RAW photos from my external drive into my catalog instead of seeing a preview of each thumbnail photo I see the following message displayed: "Preview Unavailable

    I'm using LR5.7 on a Mac Mini running Mavericks and when I attempt to import a folder of new RAW photos from my external drive into my catalog instead of seeing a preview of each thumbnail photo I see the following message displayed: "Preview Unavailable for this file." If I highlight any other folder of photos the previews are all there. What is the likely reason for these previews being unavailable? JohnnyCam

    What camera took these RAW photos?
    Did you use any Nikon software to transfer the photos to your computer's hard disk?

  • Mac Mini runs SOOO SLOW.  Wheel of Death spins all the time.  Should I reload all the software?

    I own four Macs, which includes three laptops and a Mac Mini.  One laptop uses Mavericks, the other two laptops are Lions. They ALL work GREAT at a quick speed.  The Mini, on the same wireless, runs soooo much slower, I wonder if there's a virus on it. The wheel of death is constantly spinning every time I click anywhere, i.e. Opening a new program, new file, or surfing the net. SOMETIMES FOR 30 SECONDS +.  Nothing is quick.   I took it to the Apple store, and they said there's plenty of space on it.  It's OS X Lion 10.7.5. 11 G63.  I noticed if I shut it down and restart it, it works better with less tabs open in Google Chrome. 
    I really don't know anything about computers. I have Word and Excel loaded on it. Should I delete the hard drive and start all over? Could there be a virus on it?  I don't know where the software is for the Microsoft product... If I wrote down the serial numbers of Word and Excel, is that enough to reload it? 
    Thanks so much!

    Make sure your trash is emptied, also your iPhoto trash is emptied, your caches are are clear, build up of these can rally slow things down.

    Chance of a virus is slim, macs are quite good at taking care of themselves, and most anti-virus software will slow down your computer and not really protect you at all, so stay away from that stuff.

    you need a DVD-authoring app, as iDVD, Burn, Toast ........... drag any iMovie export into it, 'burn'.

    The Apple USB superdrive would be a great choice for you, ( http://store.apple.com/ca/product/MD564ZM/A/apple-usb-superdrive?fnode=5f ) I am not certain but I am pretty sure that it has the same form factor as the MacMini (Not thickness but all the other dimenetions) so it fits just under and looks like an extension of your mac. 

  • Will 1.86ghz Intel Core Duo Mac Mini run the IPhone SDK?

    I kinda asked this as a follow up in another thread. But I really should have asked it in a separate thread here.
    Will a 1.86ghz Intel Core Duo Mac Mini run the IPhone SDK?
    Additionally, it comes with 10.4 and IPhone needs 10.5.4 or better. Can I download and upgrade to 10.5.4 free from Apple or will I have to purchase the upgrade?
    Jerry

    The hardware is more than sufficient. You will have to buy 10.5 (Apple does not have upgrade pricing).
