Mini mac does not have room to run all app or upgrade

Help please. My mini mac is telling me that I do not have enough room to upgrade or run all my apps. Can I upgrade something inside the drive and if I can, can I just go to the Apple store and have that done?
We purchased the mini mac Christmas 2008 and I have added final cut but nothing else. I do have an awful lot of photos in iphoto, would it help me to backup those onto a external drive then delete those items for more space? I'm taking about 4,000+/- photos and 253 events.
Hardware Overview:
Model Name: Mac mini
Model Identifier: Macmini2,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 1.83 GHz

Bus Speed: 667 MHz
Boot ROM Version: MM21.009A.B00

I don't know if this info will be necessary or not. I just wanted to have my bases covered.
Thanks.

When I was working in itunes a message popped up telling me there was a problem saving the itunes library. When I attempt to upgrade I receive the message:
"Your hard disk does not have enough space. 2.8 GB is required to download and install the updates. Extra space is required for the optimization process. To free up space, remove files from your start up disk, then try again."
I have one movie in final cut and its approx 14 minutes. There are 4 unpublished movies in imovie and 2 published.
What type of firewall external harddrive do you recommend? I have 2 WD passports for storage.

Transferring does not work, you need to install using installation files. Downloadable versions can be found at the following linked pages...

WP8.1 Universal : Error Image does not have a candidate in main app package while creating a package

Hi everyone :
I just finished an universal app was gonna publish it on the store, on windows 8.1 no problem
On Windows Phone 8.1 I got error when creating the app package for every images I declared in the app manifest
"App manifest references the image 'Assets\Tiles\StoreLogo.png' which does not have a candidate in main app package"
Here is a par of my manifest with my assets
<m3:VisualElements DisplayName="Spirit Of Metal" Square150x150Logo="Assets\Tiles\Square150x150Logo.png" Square44x44Logo="Assets\Tiles\Square44x44Logo.png" Description="SoM.WindowsPhone" ForegroundText="light" BackgroundColor="transparent">
<m3:LockScreen Notification="badgeAndTileText" BadgeLogo="Assets\BadgeLogos\BadgeLogo.png" />
<m3:DefaultTile Square71x71Logo="Assets\Tiles\Square71x71Logo.png" Wide310x150Logo="Assets\Tiles\Wide310x150Logo.png" DefaultSize="square150x150Logo">
<m3:ShowNameOnTiles>
<m3:ShowOn Tile="square150x150Logo" />
<m3:ShowOn Tile="wide310x150Logo" />
</m3:ShowNameOnTiles>
</m3:DefaultTile>
<m3:ApplicationView MinWidth="width320" />

<m3:InitialRotationPreference>
<m3:Rotation Preference="portrait" />
</m3:InitialRotationPreference>
</m3:VisualElements>
I made clean, delete tempory files, restart visual studio, delete and add the picture again, open the
manifest file to check manualy the path (it is correct with backslash)... without result.
Finaly I found a fix : generate app bundle at never, as my app has no specific
assets in other language I don't understand why.
Is this a bug (and I would like to report it) or is there a reason to this exception ?
Regards

I cannot reproduce this. Can you create a very simple repro of this issue and post to OneDrive?

My pad does not have any sounds at all

Please . My ipad does not have any sounds at all .. I dont know what to do
I shut it off while there was music playing and when i turned it back on , there was no more sounds completely

There's a little button by the volume rocker switch that's a dual purpose button. It's an all mute or a rotation lock. Could you have flipped that button by mistake?

My new mac does not have idvd11 and I can't find it in the mac app store?

I have just got a new iMac. It does not have iDVD11 on it and I can't find it in the Mac store? What is the deal?

iDVD is no longer a part of iLife and is no longer supported or distributed by Apple.

HT1338 What has happened to IDvd, a friend of mine purchased a Mac Pro, he asked me how to burn a dvd from IMovie, his pro mac does not have IDVD to download to, only a dvd player setting, how do you burn a IMovie project now, before you went through IDVD

A friend bought a Mac Pro, I want to also, he cannot download a project movie from Imovie to IDvd, because I Dvd is not downloaded on his $3000.00 new computer, what has apple done, how do you download & burn a movie project from Imovie if you do not have IDvd software, all previous systems had IDvd on them to do this. What is going on and how do you burn now.

An alternative to iDVD - miDVD which I believe you can get from the App Store for free!

My Mac does not have a firewire port to hook up my Canon HD video camera. How do I do it?

I am trying to figure out how to hook my Canon HD video camera to my MacBook Pro, but there does not seem to be a firewire port on the computer. How do I do this?

If, as your tagline says, you have a late 2011 MacBook Pro then you do have a firewire port, it's marked with this symbol:

My Mac does not shutdown properly and is all around glitchy. Any solution?

When Lion became available I downloaded it immediately. I also extracted the install DMG and burnt it to a DVD and a bootable USB stick (thank God).
I have a new iMac 2.5GHz i5 base model (500GB HD 4GB RAM) and I was using Snow Leopard and my Mac shutdown quickly, booted up quickly, and I never had any glitches in the GUI. After upgrading to Lion my system took forever to bootup and shutdown. Even if I don't tick the box to "Reopen windows when logging back in". Sometimes it takes 2-3 minutes to boot, and 1-2 minutes to shutdown. I timed SL 10.6.8 before upgrading and bootup was about 40 seconds and shutdown was about 5 seconds to instant.
Also, after Lion was installed, all the page swipes in Safari and from full screen apps was extremely glitchy and sluggish. Sometimes the screen would get stuck between the apps or an app and desktop. Sometimes the iMac would just plain freeze with the beachball of death. So I thought I had something leftover from SL that was fudging my system. So I booted from the USB install image I made, re-partitioned the HD and reformatted it (I re-partitioned to get rid of the hidden recovery partition and the bootcamp partition). Then I re-installed Lion as a fresh copy. I re-installed all my apps but didn't use bootcamp or any VMs yet.
Now after a clean install, my GUI is no longer glitchy or sluggish. Transitions between fullscreen apps and the desktop is smooth. However, my shutdown and startup issues still remain (and are a little worse). If I tell the computer to shutdown, no matter I click "reopen windows" or uncheck "reopen" windows, it can take 1-2 minutes to shutdown. Also, after being off all night, when I boot my computer, sometimes it will come to the login screen and ask for my password (but I have set it up for automatic login and not to prompt for password on screensaver or wakeup also). I also did not encrypt my drive. So I cannot figure out why it asks me to login. After I give it my password and sign in, the menu bar is not translucent and the airport does not function. Then I must restart Lion and everything is okay again (except it takes 2-3 minutes to reboot again).
I already tried repairing permissions, I downloaded the beta for the latest Onyx last night and cleared out all the caches and told it to verify and rebuild all the scripts. Only about 10 things were repaired in the permissions list. The disk passed verification, and I am not getting any mysterious messages in console. So what is going on with booting and sometimes requiring me to login with a password and booting into a system with messed up menus and non functional airport? I don't want to start my iMac, login, and then restart every time I want to use it.
I have been working with Macs since OS 8 and I have currently have 2 PPC Macs running 10.5.8, and 2 Intel Macs (one is still on 10.6.8 until I solve this Lion problem). I have even played with hackintoshes on my netbooks and in VMware before. I am pretty versed in OS X, but I am at a loss to figure out what is going on with Lion. I don't see any unusual messages in the console or any error messages. When on the phone with Apple care they insist the shutdown issue is not a problem. But the startup concerns me most, since it asks me to login, the I must restart anyways to get it back. It acts like a Windows sytem waking up from hibernation and not loading all the proper drivers.
Sorry for the long post, just wanted to be concise about the issue. Anyone have any suggestions? Any help is much appreciated! Thanks.

The funniest part of the whole situation, Apple Care explained it to me as some kind of feature. The told me how to adjust the time when my computer sleeps and recommend I don't shut it down, let it sleep and "instant wake". I would bet if you called them about your Macbook, they would suggest you just close the lid and let it sleep rather than shutting it down.
Basically shutdown and restart have a problem and the solution is to not shutdown is how they explained it to me. They kept saying buzz words like "instant on" and "fast wakeup". My computer already could sleep and wakeup fast, but now shutdown and restart don't work right. I called them 3 times about it, but since they use these buzzwords, sounds like Lion is meant for a Macbook Air or a Mac with an SSD. If you have a normal hard disk, some of the saving/versions/resume features take too long to be written to the disk on shutdown. And when you start again, it takes a long time to reload the system to it's previous point.
Even if I uncheck the box to reopen windows on next start, it reopens them anyways.
If they can't give me a better explaination or some kind of fix, I will have to go back to Snow Leopard. I use my Mac in a production environment and depend on stability. They assured me before I upgraded that it would be stable and all the new saving and versions features could help my productivity. So far it's not helping me and downright annoying. You need to close all your windows before you close the program... if you have 5 windows open in terminal or textedit... every time you launch, they will launch all those windows. I just really want versions, not resume it seems.
But I can deal with it opening a million windows, just can't take it getting stuck on booting or not shutting down properly. This is a "feature" that should be fixed. LOL

ITune does not remember my purchase anymore - all apps now list price as if I never purchase them

During chrismas, I discovered several games I previously bought are now listed with full price, even after I went into the info page of the game. Why is this happening? Now every game I have ever bought are all now listed as full price so there is no way for me to tell which game I have bought and which is not unless I check against my purchase history. Does anyone have this problem?

Yep, the behaviour of the iTunes Store you described has been discovered by others as well, unfortunately.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4634697?tstart=30
There are 2 other threads which implies that Apple have changed it intentionally to show prices again:
one, that from now on you can only download already purchased goods once every 90 days -which really concerns me now
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4279696?tstart=0
the other one that it was done intentionally (maybe because of the new download policy)

Installing WIndows 7 onto a Mac Mini that does not have an internal optical drive.

Has anyone had any success in installing WIndows 7 onto a Mac Mini via Boot Camp using either a USB stick or an external SuperrDrive?

Option 1: Get a USB "Super Drive" and use it to install windoze.
Option 2: Use Parallels Desktop to run windoze.
Option 3: Wait for someone who knows more than I do to tell you how to do it using magic.

Suddenly Mini Mac Does Not Work in GMail

I have not encountered this problem previously -- my Mac Mini freezes on my gmail page, every time I access gmail and sign on. I get the "lollipop of doom," the spinning rainbow disc. Next Mac Mini won't kill the page, and I end up having to both unplug my Ethernet cable and reboot the computer.
What is going on here, and how do I address this problem? This has happened every time I am on gmail for a couple of days, and I cannot use gmail, as a result.

You posted in the iPad forum instead of the Mac Mini forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa I'll request that Apple relocate your post.
 Cheers, Tom
