Mac OS X Server on the new Intel based Mac Minis?

I've successfully been running Mac OS X Sever on my G4 based Mac Mini. Does anyone know if it can be run on an Intel Mac Mini? - The install appears to work, but Server Admin doesn't see the Mac, and Software update doesn't seem to find any updates.
Anyone done this successfully / know if it can be run?
Thanks.
Mac Mini Intel

Thanks everyone. I called Apple and they actually said it was supported (I spoke to the guy in the Mac OS X Server support area). He said to do what is described in this thread, and then install the incremental updates to Sever admin.
I did all this, but it doesn't work - so I think at this point, we have to assume it's not yet supported.
I suppose you could still install Mac OS X Server on the mini, and then use Server Admin on a different machine to manage it...?

Could someone suggest a procedure describing how I should migrate my iTunes files from old an older Motorola-based PowerMac to a new Intel-based Mac Pro?

My problem concerns migrating, or moving my iTunes files from a Motorola-based G4 PowerMac OS X 10.4.11 iTunes 9.2.1 (4) to a new Intel-based Mac Pro running OS X 10.8.4 iTunes 11.0.4.
Context Summary:
1. Migration assistants on my old and new macs are not compatible.
2. My older mac has my iTunes library stored on an external firewire disk.
3. Part (but not all) of my iTunes files are also resident/stored on my iPod classic.
4. Finally, I need OS X 10.4.11 on my old mac and cannot upgrade it to OS X10.5.
Proposed method A: Is there a way to transfer my playlists from my Motorola Mac to my Intel Mac? If so, could I then connect my external firewire disk (containing my iTunes library) to my new mac, and then tell iTunes (on new mac) to use my iTunes library located on my external firewire disk?
Proposed method B: Would my chances for success improve if I used my iPod classic to transfer iTunes files from old Mac to new?
Worst Case Proposal C: I could start from scratch and recreate iTunes playlists and library on new mac.... time consuming proposal but it's possible. (Please don't suggest this proposal unless no other viable choices exist for me.)
Or have I missed something? Is there another procedure I should use?
Please advise, and thank you.

Hello Chris,
Answer to your iTunes library question: By iTunes Library, I mean my iTunes Media folder only; not the entire /iTunes/folder with iTunes media folder inside.
BTW: Your pointer to ht4889 was very helpful, and sharing the folder, then copying it over firewire interface from old to new mac was most useful.
However, now with my entire iTunes folder (including iTunes media folder) moved to new mac, I remain unclear as to how I should configure iTunes on the new mac so that it can know about and use these copied files. I understand using iTunes preferences, how to point iTunes to my media folder, but don't know what other iTunes operations are necessary for iTunes to pick up where I left off with my old mac.
Is there any file conversion necessary?
Or inside iTunes, should I:
File->Library->Organize Library? or
File->Library->Export Library? or
File->Library->Import Playlist?
Please advise and thank you again for your help.
As you might imagine, I put a great deal of time building my iTunes library, and would feel very blue if I need to build it again from scratch on my new mac.
So long for now.

Flash MX 2004 and the Intel-based Macs

Due to the demise of my previous computer I just bought one
of the new Intel-based Macs. Most of my programs seem to work fine
but Flash MX 2004 is crashing shortly after startup. Do I need to
upgrade before I can use Flash again?

I have the same problem launching Flash 2004 on an intel imac 24 inch. All the other programmes of Studio 2004 launch apart from Flash. FYI Flash 8 installs and works fine.
I recollect that someone suggested writing a script(?) in Terminal to solve a similar problem with programmes crashing on launch.

Backward Compatibility of New Intel Processor Mac Mini

Will the data files and applications like Quicken 2006 on my old Power Processor Mac Mini transfer to the new Intel Processor Mac Mini?
Mac mini Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Data files will certainly transfer, though applications are not always a matter of such certainty. Most will, but a few non-Intel native ones may not - or may run but not run perfectly if they were not written to conform to the programming guidelines and thus not be fully compatible with Rosetta.
It would do no hard to try, though if you plan to be reliant on PPC applications from your G4 system, be aware that running under Rosetta, they are not likely to give you notable performance gains, even if you max out the RAM in the Intel model. If you plan to update software to Intel-native versions or have those already, a move to the Intel platform will give you significant performance advantages.

All apps crash on Intel based mac, when I try to print. Suggestions?

I just setup a New, Intel-based mac. I used the migration assistant, to transfer all account information, settings, and docs to the new machine, and everything went flawlessly. But,,,,,,,
When I try to print something, anything, from any application, the application crashes immediately.
Should I:
Repair permissions (not a cure all, but probably doesn't hurt.)
Reset printing system in printer setup utility, or,,
Take another course of action.
Doesn't seem to matter which printer is selected as default.

For interested parties: Resetting the printing system solved the problem, cleanly and neatly.
I have been advised to use this feature with discretion however, as it truly does indeed reset the entire printing system.

Installing Leopard onto a Non Intel based Mac

My friend just bought a new intel based Mac Pro with Leopard. It came with the install discs. Is it possible to take those discs and install them onto a computer that is a Dual 1.8 GHZ Mac that does not have an intel processor?
Thanks in Advance

no, it's not possible. It's also against ULA but in this case it won't matter because this will not work anyway.
You need to buy a retail version of Leopard to install it on your Mac.

No CPU temperature sensor on Intel based Mac mini?

Does new Intel based Mac mini has no CPU temperature sensor like the first, PPC based, Mac mini?
If I'm wrong what universal utility should I use to monitor the CPU temperature of my brand new Intel CoreDuo Mac mini?

Every time a new model Mac comes out, the temperature monitoring utilities have to be updated. Obviously, the insides of the Intel Mac mini is different from the PowerPC Mac mini. The folks who write those kinds of tools can't see into the future and write a utility that will work on computers that haven't been released yet. Just give them a little while to catch up!

Intel based Mac can't see airport exteme

My new intel based mac and airport had been working fine. Then last week it lost communication with base station. Now it will work using only Apple default setup and my Mac cannot configure base station through base station utility. It does not see the base station. I can connect to it only through the defaut Apple network, I have no control over naming, security, signal or any other options available through the setup assistant.
What gives? How do I gain control of this device again?
Intel I-Mac Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Try Connecting the Intel based MAC hardwired directly to the base sation, then disconnect it and returnt he base station to the way you had it and see if the Intle Based MAC then sees the base station.
Just a guess.

Will my printer and scanner work with the new intel mac?

My first post.. so I hope i am in the right place! (was in wrong place last attempt!)
I want to buy the new intel...but I would like to know for sure if it will work with my scanner and printer.
Printer is Epson Stylus Photo 2100 and the scanner is Microtek ScanMaker 4900.
I have emailed both Epson and Microtek... phoned Epson.. and I still do not know the answer.
The responses were
"At this point in time with have been given no information on whether our printer drivers will work or not....".
"Yes it will work with OSX 10.4"
"As you know this new intel chip has just hit the market. This particular configuration is in the alpha stage of testing. As of now there has not been any reports or customer correspondence of any concerns."
I have been scanning these posts and it seems that only the operating system is relevant? If anyone could help I would appreciate it. I am finally able to replace my old, old, well loved G4 but am worried I will make the wrong decision.

Thanks all for the helpful comments. I am getting closer to going out and buying the intel. As for the Canon printer... its not really an option for me, since the Epson cost me more than the computer will! But I will keep it in mind for the future. And do you think this applies to digital cameras as well Tomzo? I have been considering buying my first digital.. and thought the pentax might be best, since it apparently can use the lenses from my film camera.
Thanks again all..I will keep checking the apple site list and the web sites as suggested by you.

Can the new Intel Mac Mini really run Win XP?

I have had my Mac Mini for almost two years now and i love it, i love it because i switched from Windows, but now i kind of miss Windows so i was going to buy a Windows PC but then i read somewhere that the new 1.66GHz Intel Core Duo Mac Mini can run Windows XP, so i have few questions if that is true...
1. How well will Win XP run on the new 1.66 GHz Mini with 1 Gig of RAM?
2. Which version of XP do i need to buy and where is the best place to buy it?
3. I know this might be a dumb question since Windows Vista is not out yet but do you think i will be able to use Vista as well?
Vista requires 512 of RAM for the basics and 1 Gig of RAM for max performance.
That's all i have for now, thanks in advance.
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!
Mac Mini 1.42 GHz G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) It's small...?

1) If ou run it with Boot Camp (i.e. in a dual-boot environment, rather than through virtualization), it will run as well as on a PC with 1 GB of RAM, a 1.66 Ghz Core Duo processor and GMA 950 integrated graphics (quite well, but unsuitable for recent 3D games).
2) You need a standalone (non-OEM) version of Windows XP Home or Pro with SP2 included, any retail version of Windows XP should do. There are also workarounds that allow you to install other versions of Windows (like Windows XP Media Center).
3) The Mini should be able to run Vista (some people have already installed Beta versions of Vista on Intel Minis) but how well, I don't know.
BTW Boot Camp is actually Beta software, and its license ends in February 2007 (or earlier if Leopard is released before then).
If you need more information, you can also ask in the Boot Camp forum.

Can the new intel Mac's run Panther?

Thanks,
SP

Firmware differences were the most "concrete" reasons why downgrading PPC-Tiger machines to Panther was not supported.
Actually it is more often the lack of drivers for the newer hardware that prevent use of earlier versions of Mac OS X on more recent hardware, not any block in the firmware (though that may also be present, but mostly as a precaution rather than a limitation).
I wouldn't call PPC-Tiger and Intel-Tiger so "completely different" programs.
I would. Though they come from the same (or mostly the same) source code, they're complied for completely different processors. So the net result is that the two versions are totally different executable code. This is why Panther (or Jaguar, etc.) will not run on an Intel-based Mac; the earlier versions of Mac OS X are all complied for PowerPC processors and cannot boot on an Intel processor.

Running a dos program on the new intel chip

I have a dos program that I need to be able to run on the new intel chip.
Is there a safe and reliable way to do it?
thanks

Thanks for your reply.
Have you used parallels for dos?
I am considering getting the new mac book but want to make sure that it will run the dos program.
thanks

Genius bar told me to erase the harddisk and install OSX Maverick again. This has not changed the problems with the system settings

You need to Repartition the drive as One partition which will erase all data from it and then reinstall OS X. then with the initial setup system you chose the language on the first screen that comes up. That sets the language for the whole system.
There is no other way of completely removing certain information created by a previous owner. this hold strue whether you are selling or give a Mac to someone.
To do the repartitioning you need to use the Online Internet Recovery system, if the Mac came with Lion 10.7 or above, or from the original system reinstall discs that came with it when it was new.

I used migration assistant and my ethernet cable to move data and apps from my 5-yr old Intel-based iMac to my brand new Intel-based iMac running OS Lion. The old machine was running OS 10.5.8. Not all my files transferred (or I can't find them). Help

IMO, wrong choice. Start over, using a FireWire cable and following the steps in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide.

Reaktor running in Logic on new intel I-mac 20", 2GB memory,

Hi folks, just bought a new i-mac dual intel chippy thing and have been running Logic and Reaktor as an audio unit. Several problems
1. Reaktor seems to take up loads of processing power on some ensembles, is there anything I can do to optimise it e.g. should I install it on my sepereate firewire hard drive? Should I leave the processor hungry ensembles alone?
2. Should it really slow Logic down, is there something I'm missing? I do have the latest update for Reaktor but have not installed it until I get online to authorise.
3. Can i run Logic off my seperate hard drive? Is this the best way?
4. My previous i-mac single processor seemed to handle this all better with less memory CPU power available.
5. My M-audio Firewire audiophile drive ris not loading. Are there issues with the new intel macs? Do I need to update my driver for this?
Many thanks
Imac Intel Dual 20" Mac OS X (10.4.8) sep. hard drive,

2. Should it really slow Logic down, is there
something I'm missing? I do have the latest update
for Reaktor but have not installed it until I get
online to authorise.
Here's your main issue right now. Reaktor only came out in UB format, last week. (version 5.1.2 - the update you would've downloaded)
So, you will need to run that update and activate it for it to work properly with your Intel procs.
Be careful with the NI's service center, as I had all sorts of issues with it last week, whilst trying to update Komplete4 to UniBinary.
