Mac Mini Vs. Fritz Box 7390, ethernet problem (LAN)

Hey wellwishers,
A few days ago my internet provider came in and installed the fibre optics internet. They came with a new modem as well, the Fritz!Box 7390. While connecting all my devices, everything seemed to work just fine, until I lined up my Mac mini. For some reason only the wireless internet seems to work. The wired connection also seems to be recognized just fine (IP configurated, green icon in front, etc.) but it doesn't seem to work at all. The browsers and programs just show there is no internet connection.
I've called the internet provider, and after several attempts of fixing it (by changing IP's and whatever) they redirected me to Apple, saying the Mac mini's with the "Farallon Network Cards" tend to show problems with this modem. There was a way of fixing it but I had to update the driver. (Mac mini is up to date)
So I had google do the dirty work for me, and I found some things to do such as removing/renaming the network preferences file, resetting the router, trying diffirent cables and check on another network to determain if it actually was the modem or the Mac mini. Been there, done that, yet I still didn't get it to work properly on the Fritz!Box only.
I've been told that I should find an update for my network card, but I haven't found a way on how to do that yet.
Where can I find devices updates like that? Anyone here seen a problem like this before with the Fritz!Box 7390? This is 2/3, hoping to find a solution here. Else I have to knock on the door of the Fritz!Box company themselves..
Thanks!
edit: Its a Mac mini. (Mid 2011)
Had OS X Snow Leopard. Re-installed the files hoping that would work, but it didn't. Decided to just update to OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.1, hoping that would work..

No driver required.
Does that cable work OK on another computer?
Does Network Properties show cable unplugged?
On the the other end of the cable is the light lit by the connected port?
Try resetting the SMC and PRAM

System report under Hardware>Ethernet Cards is the ethernet hardware listed?

I have the Numbers-applications on both Mac mini and Macbook Air. My problem is that they don't sync so when I create a Numbers-file on the MacBook while travelling, it will not be on my Mac mini when I get home :(((

Hey iWeb plubishing problems,
I would first check to make sure that you meet the system requirements for OS X to support Documents in the Cloud. For that your Mac’s needs to be running at least OS X Lion 10.7.5 or later to make sure that everything syncs. Take a look at the article below for more information.

My mac mini late 2012 is having resolution problems?

My mac mini late 2012 is having resolution problems?
Tried resetting PRAM and SMC but still nothing works.
Sometimes is goes back to normal. But then suddenly when I startup or wake up from sleep it changes to resolution 800x600 and stays there..
I'm using my Thunderbolt port with my minidisplay port to vga, because i don't have a HD monitor.
Does anyone have a solution?

Hmmm, not sure on the startup, but on the sleep angle...
Well first...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
Then maybe...
See if it's related to this...

I try to connect mini to my ASUS PW201 monitor and Samsung SM 932b via MINI DVI to DVI connector. Can i connect via miniDVD-DVI+DVI-VGA(no Apple) connector?
Reset the System Management Controlle, PMU, SMU, PRAM and NVRAM did't help me.
Sorry for my English.

Hi,I'm using an older Intel Mac mini. I've used it with three different displays. When I use a "DVI to HDMI" cable the mini will boot, I get the Gray Screen, the Spinning Wheel, then everything goes BLACK for a second then the Desktop appears. With a "DVI to VGA" cable it boots fine without the monitor going BLACK for a second. You might try using a different cable combination.
You can easily (easy is relative) drop in a different Hard Drive. You will need to reformat the drive so it will be compatible with your Mac. You can use your install disc to reformat the new dhttp://www.ifixit.com/Apple-Parts/Mac-mini-1-TB-Upgrade-Kit/IFrive, then you can install Leopard from that disc.

Mac mini will lock up with ethernet connection

Hi,
I've bought a mac mini intel intel 1.83GHz dual core with 2GB of RAM (RAM from apple, the mac mini came with the 2GB installed)
If I don't connect the ethernet port, everything seems ok.
I have connected the ethernet port to get internet, but while I was downloading the software updates, some of the downloads failed. Then if I go to the system preferences/network and double click on the ethernet configuration, the system will lock up (I cannot launch any more new application, I cannot even shutdown, Finder will display empty hard drives and so on) and if I run the Terminal before and do a "top" I can see that the kernel tasks reach 100%. But no kernel panics.
I've tried a different ethernet cable (actually the one on my mac mini ppc) and it will still fail. Both mac mini ppc & mac mini intel are in the same kind of network configuration.
There was 2 times where the computer locked up at around 10.7 MB of download of 10.4.8, and one time I was able to download it all, but I'm still not able to manage to download every other updates. That to say that it may lock up at some random time.
I did a complete 10.4 reinstall (erasing hard drive), and managed to update the EFI firmware, but this didn't solve the problem. I also tried to let it of 15 seconds with no power cable, and put everything back, but it is still the same.
So what I see at the first glance would be :
- internal ethernet card problem
- some weird memory problem
I would like to test the memory, and I remember there was a "apple hardware test" CD before on its own. As far I've seen I only have the 2 CDs for MacOS 10.4.7 reinstallation.
Please give me some advice before I go to an apple center.
Thanks
mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.8)

You can run the hardware diagnostics from the Installation disc.
Insert the disc, restart the Mini, and hold down the D key while the Mini starts up again. This will allow you to run the diagnostics.
The hardware diagnostics will detect only the most obvious memory problems. It may miss subtle problems.
I think you probably have a defective Mini. But before I took it back to Apple, I would try it in a different building with a different internet connection and different electrical power. It is possible that the electrical power in your building is the source of the problem, or it is possible that your router or modem that connects to the internet is not compatible.
I would also try turning off all the equipment. Then turn on the internet router/modem and then the Mini about 3 minutes later.

Mac Mini won't print via ethernet cable connected to airport extreme

Hi. Thanks for your input in advance. Am about to start throwing things around. I have an Airport Extreme based network which is working fine. The printer is a new HP L7590 which connects to the network with a USB cable connection to the Airport Extreme. Those with laptops and wireless cards are able to print no problem. However my Mac Mini, a 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4 is connected to the printer using a ethernet cable connected to the Airport Extreme. All was working perfectly until I upgraded from Panther to Tiger. I am now running 10.4.11. Now the Mini will not print. The jobs keep stopping. I have removed the printer and try to add it again. The print browser page finds the printer okay and lists it as connecting via Bonjour, but when you tell it to add it, it starts 'searching for new drivers' and then 'gathering printer information' and then it stops responding and I have to force quit it. Any suggestions?? I have already tried all the online mac help suggestions.

Actually it transpires that the G4 laptops are not printing either now.

Mac-Mini wont connect to wired ethernet

I can not get my Mac-Mini to connect to the internet via a wired ethernet cable. When I try to connect it says it is getting an IP address and then boots out and tries again. Its a never ending cycle. It does this in both OS X, and Windows. Do I have a bum network card?

Hi Steve,
Some ISPs can be fussy about the number of devices you connect to the internet.
If the Modem routes then it tends to be this network card that is in effect "registered" with the ISP.
If you have a cable modem then a Router then the router tends to be the device "registered".
If no router then that is obviously you computer's MAC address.
Some ISPs will go as far as requesting to actually type in the MAC card address and formally request to change it.
It sounds like you have here a system of monitoring that is not that "up front" and causes problems enough for people to have several computers and just swap them.
I would guess it allows one change, like you would need if you have a new computer.

DP5 & mac mini w/ Alesis interface io|14 problem

Anyone using DP5 w/ mac mini and the Alesis io|14 audio interface?
Everything is setup correctly as far as I can see. The HDM(Alesis Hardware Direct monitoring) is working and I see movement. The problem is that DP tracks show no sign of life when I try to record.

1. I downloaded and installed the driver -- alesisio14_26macupdate012908
-- with the unit unplugged.
2. Launched DP and Configure Audio System. (A) Set it to Alesis Firewire/
Master Device. (B) Set Clock Modes/Alesis Firewire, [C] set the sampling
rate and sampling format to match the 24 bit/48 MHz setting of my main
system.
3. Launched DP and then the "bundles" menu. In bundles, I set up channels 7
thru 14 as stereo input pairs. (In Alesis HMD I learned that ADAT inputs are
permanently set to those channels like my M-Audio unit. The first six
channels are analog inputs.) Next, I set up channels 1&2 as outputs
(analog).
4. I set up a DP stereo audio track using channels 7&8 as inputs and 1&2 as
outputs. (Again, the I/O 14 has default channels 7&8 as ADAT and 1&2 as
analog outputs.)

Mac Mini have a 1680x1050 wake up problem?

I have a mac mini that when connected to a 22 inch monitor with resolution of 1680 X 1050, the mini will sometimes wake from sleep or a display turned off with a gray - blank - screen. It is random - I then have to hit the on button to bring the video back. When I re-connected my 19 inch monitor with a 1280 x 1024 resolution, it works fine. Is this a problem with the video card? Thank you, JimFromElgin

I ma having the same issue, I have one of the original Mini Mac and was connect to my Panasonic TV and everything worked fine.
I have bought a Samsung after been told by the shop it was the best and compatable only to find I like the person above cannot get any sound.

Mac Mini with a Samsung smart TV problem

Hello Everybody. This is my first time in here !
I hope someone would be able to share ideas or views about my issue.
I have a Mac Mini I used to plug into a Panasonic TV, using a a Mini Display to HDMI cable. Since the Mini Display port does not carry audio, I used a mini jack stereo to RCA cable from the Mac's speaker socket to the TV's audio. Everything worked pretty OK.
I just bought a new Samsung smart TV and planned to do the same thing. However, I was horrified to discover that the audio won't carry. From a little bit of research I have made, it turns out that the TV disables the audio once it realizes the DVI does not carry any, and therefore no sound is heard even though the RCA's connected.
One way to go around it was to rename the HDMI source to DVI - PC, but it doesn't work 100% of the time (for some reason) and did not work in my case.
So far, the Samsung guys I've spoked to you haven't been very helpful and offered that I use the TV's optical sound IN (which the TV doesn't have), and even then they did not know if it worked 100%.
I've found out that Mini Display + Stereo to HDMI adapter exists, but it's very expensive here (over 50 pounds, almost $100) and I'd like to find alternatives - The TV's speakers are pretty good and I'd like to avoid buying speakers, if I could work it out with simple cable work.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Mac mini server Mid 2011 Maverick upgrade problem

Help needed I have a mac mini server mid 2011
2x500gb hard drives
Hard Drive one is Macintosh HD
Hard Drive Two is Server HD
I upgraded to mavericks osx onto drive one Macintosh HD
I went to upgrade os x server for mavericks and it went to install on hard drive one Macintosh HD not the Server HD
So I formated both drives which partition map scheme is GUID Partition Table on both drives.
I done a new Install of Mavericks on drive one Macintosh HD that works fine
I downloaded OS X Server again and it is installing on hard drive one Macintosh HD and not Server HD
and it will not give me an option to Install on the Server HD.
I have also looked in the system preferances Startup disk and now I have a question mark showing.
When I open it it only shows Macintosh HD and NOT the Server HD
Can someone please advise
I'm not bad on computers but this has stuped me.
Iif anyone can help please can you explain in easy terms if there is any.
Thank you

Server.app will install on the same disk OS X resides on.
What I think you are seeking here is to have the server data on the other disk, and that is configured via Server.app, once you have Server.app installed. Launch Server.app and select the server name at the top of the left column and then go to the Settings on the right side, and select where you want the service data there.

2012 Mac Mini and WD MyBook External HDD Problems

I just bought a 2012 Mac Mini (2.5Ghz i5 version) and I can't get my WD external drive to work with it. I just tested the drive with my mid-2010 MacBook Pro, and it works just fine, pops right up and I can view/edit the files on there. When I move it back to the Mini though, the WD drive turns on and the drive starts to move like its turning on, but nothing shows up on the Mini, either on the desktop, Finder or through the Disk Utility.
Any suggestions? To my knowledge the WD drive I have is USB 2.0/3.0 compatible, and I know that the Mini has all USB 3.0 ports so I'm confused as to why it isn't working.
Thanks in advance.

If you have Disk Utility open when you attach it to the Mini, does it show for an instant in DU?
Is it a Bus powered drive or does it have an A/C PSU?
