Netflix quit streaming on new Mac Mini

Hi... I just purchase a new Aluminum Mac Mini last week. I was able to stream Netflix the first night I had it. Two days later, I upgraded the RAM to 8 GB and updated Silverlight, Perian and Divix. Now I get a connection error when trying to stream content from Netflix. My old Mac Mini (2.0 C2D w/3 GB RAM/OSX 10.6.4) can still stream content from Netflix, as can my iPad. So I doubt it is a connection problem... more likely a software issue.
Both mini's are using Safari 5 and I have tried to set the user agent to 4.1 (and others)... but it still won't stream.
Is there a known issue with the newest version of Silverlight and Safari 5? Any other hints as to why I can no longer stream content?
BTW... it also won't stream under the latest version of Firefox either... :P
Thanks,
Alan

I finally got through to a Netflix specialist and solved the problem. If you encounter this same issue, go to the root directory of your hard drive... then
Library>Application Support>Microsoft>PlayReady
and rename the mspr.hds file (to old or something... just rename it).
Then go ahead and launch your browser and play a movie. Netflix will rebuild the file and allow it to stream again once you launch a stream .

  • I am unable to use my external CD player. I am told that the player is being used by another application, and that is not true. I have quit everything and restarted. I've unplugged the unit. I have a fairly new mac mini 10.8. What can I do?

    I am unable to use my external CD player. I have a fairly new mac mini 10.8. I am told that the player is being used by another application, but it's not true. I've forced everything to quit and restarted. I've even unplugged the unit and let it rest. I've turned off and unplugged the mac too. I cannot make a CD. Why?

    I misread your message. I thought it said I did not have burn support with the Samsung hardware.
    When the CD goes in it says You inserted a bland CD. choose an action from the popup menu or click ignore
    open finder
    open itunes
    open disk utility
    make this action the default
    eject         ignore           ok
    However, when I am making CDs. I am in itunes. That is where my recordings areI haven't tried to do it from this vantage point.
    I don't know how to make a screen shot on a mac.
    I go to my playlist and click on the little gear icon at the bottom left and I leave things as they are - preferred speed - maximum. I leave it on audio CD - and then I select BURN.
    When I tried this the other day, I could not get it to burn, no matter how hard I tried - everything I could think of, using a different CD, force quitting everything I was not using, restarting the computer, unplugging the CD hardware and plugging it back in after a little while, nothing worked. I got that message that said my player was being used by another application every time I tried to make the CD.  This took over an hour. I don't know of another way to make a CD on the mac; I was not using another program or application. Now it seems to be working fine. I am burning another copy of something I gave away.
    I wish I knew what caused this. It was a real problem Saturday morning.

  • Which adapter do I need to connect my new Mac Mini to my old Apple Cinema HD monitor?

    I have a perfectly good Apple Cinema HD monitor (model M8536), but it has an ADC connection, and my new Mac Mini isn't compatible with it. I've bought a new screen for the Mac Mini, but there are going to be times when I need to run two screens in parallel on the Mini. Can anyone tell me which adapter I need to do this? I've looked at the Apple DVI to ADC connector  (M8661LL), but I'm not sure this is what I need, and they're quite pricey, even second-hand on eBay, so I don't want to make a mistake!
    Thanks!

    Thanks, dwb ... unfortunately I don't think I'd get very much for my old display, it's so old (> 10 years)! But it still works perfectly, and I'm loathe to throw it away ... and there are going to be times when I need the two screens, so even though I've bought a new 27" Philips monitor, it would be good just to buy an adapter to hook up the old screen ...

  • New Mac Mini thunderbolt to DVI adapter issues

    Hi there,
    I'm working on a new studio installation. We have a new Mac Mini that we're trying to connect up to a 30-inch Cinema HD display with DVI input. We have a Kanex C30 Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter that plugs into the Thunderbolt port and one of the USB ports (for power) on the back of the Mini, but despite our best efforts we aren't getting anything on the display. Going Mac - adapter - display results in about 7/8ths of the screen going white and displaying two green and misshapen Apple logos for about 5 seconds before it goes blank.
    Ultimately we want to run it over quite a long DVI cable and currently have an Extron signal booster in place, which works perfectly from the Mac Mini's HDMI output through an HDMI to DVI adapter. However we're already using the HDMI output to feed another monitor. 
    So two questions really:
    1. Can the Mac Mini feed two separate displays of different sizes? The 30-inch over Thunderbolt to DVI and another Apple 24 inch display over HDMI to DVI.
    2. Does anybody have any experience with the Kanex or can you recommend an adapter that will work for us?
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. This whole process has been a very long headache!
    Many thanks,
    Josh

  • New mac mini, resolution incompatible with TV

    My shiny new mac mini just arrived today in the mail. I hooked it up to my Emerson 27 inch 720p tv and booted her up. I got the grey screen, then the apple, then a spinny wheel of white lights, then "Please change computers resolution".
    This is my first boot and the machine only comes with the onboard HDMI port and the HDMI to DVI adapter. I have no DVI monitors, and my only HDMI monitor is my TV.
    Safe boot doesn't work, single user mode doesn't work. Both just throw the same error, safe boot runs a progress bar for a bit before doing so at least.
    Apple support is closed right now (***).
    My bro and I are Linux admins so we got into the shell and tried editing the com.boot file to change the resolution, but that didn't seem to do anything.
    All the forums I've referenced say to install tools to solve this problem, but that's not helpful unless I can get in the first time. Also unhelpful are the people who say buy a new TV or monitor, which cost more then the machine.
    I need this machine to boot exactly once into the GUI so I can set up logmein, VNC, and ssh. This is a dev box so I don't care about seeing it on the TV.
    Can anyone get me into the GUI one time?
    Since it's brand new, it's running Lion which I've been having endless issues with at work.

    It sounds like the new Mac Mini has HDCP enabled (as it is on the new MacBooks and MacBook Pros).
    This is a kind of copy protection, and will not allow HDCP protected content to be played on an analog source.
    A tool like http://www.hdfury.com/ will take the HDCP stream, and convert it to an analog stream. It's perfectly legal.. and will extend the life of older TV's (manufactured before 2002).

  • New Mac Mini and TrueHD audio

    Has any one know if it's possible to play back uncompressed audio streams from .m2ts streams thru the HDMI connector, or are the Dolby Digital and/or DTS the only streams that can play back thru HDMI?

    Apple have only said Dolby DTS works, and PCM works. They have not mentioned TrueHD. However others have said that currently the chips used in the Mac mini do not support sending True HD via the HDMI, even though the HDMI specification obviously allows this.
    The conclusion is that we would have to wait for another newer Mac mini model with a better set of chips.
    I have seen less to nothing about the possibility of running TrueHD via the Mini Displayport and then an adapter to HDMI. It is the case that the Mini Displayport supports audio on the 2010 Mac mini but it is likely the same chip issue prevents True HD.
    This is all very disappointing of course.
    For the moment, I am sticking with an Apple TV running XBMC which is far cheaper but still does not support TrueHD.
    PS. If the rumours are that the next Apple TV only does 720p are true, then Microsoft will (rightly) be laughing at Apple's feeble efforts.

  • Airport Express problems with new MAC MINI and DLINK router SOLVED

    Hi just thought I would post this as it may well help others experiencing similar frustrations with new core duo mac mini and wireless connection or quality problems across the network / internet etc
    I have a 3 week old, new mac mini core duo 1.8ghz 2gig ram, 120gb disk - First Mac, connecting to my exisiting wireless network via DLINK ADSL Router 2MB Broadband also one windows laptop and pc also wireless on the network and two airport express potins to stream itunes to
    Problem was briefly
    Mac worked fine, but the network connection just far too slow, laptop and pc, 1800+ kbps downstream mac mini 90 - 150kbps (http://www.adslguide.org/tools/speedtest.asp)
    also if i ping the router directly from terminal (ping -c 20 192.168.1.1) average response 12+ ms with 20% packet loss, yet laptop and pc avg 2ms no losses
    Spent 2 evenings on frustrating calls of more than 1 hour each (due to being cut off , then ring back and closed etc etc) and carrying out a the helpdesk troubleshooting (I am an IT consultant I think I am above this level), eventually an archive and install of the os as well
    last night I call for the third time, insisting I dont wish to carry out any further troubleshooting, and want it replaced and resolved or my money back
    I receive a call back from product specialist (not sure if thats mac mini specialist or airport) but we resolved the issue (his knowledge far superior to the help desk do this do this attitude)
    between us we carried out the folowing and resolved the problem and I am now very happy
    mac now downstreaming also in excess of 1800kbps (as expected for 2mb broadband)and no packet loss
    This problem was resolved by switching off the turbo option hidden away in the routers settings, under wireless configuration
    Supposed to improve performance, but its rubbish and will make hardly any difference under mac os to the speed but will certainly affect your mac mini performance(you may have a similar setting switched on in your routers and mac os dont like it)
    We stumbled across this by first disconnecting one of the airport express devices from my dlink network, and using it on its own default apple wireless settings, effectively making it a standalone wireless network, and not via the dlink router
    we then carried out the same ping with the ip address of this device (from airport admin utility default 10.0.1.1) and the results were fantastic 2ms avg no package loss
    this established it was something with the router, and how we then interrogated the routers settings and found the turbo on option within wireless configuration
    you may not be able to replicate this if you dont have an additional network you could join (such as airport express), but probably worth checking your own router settings for something similar
    Hope that may be of assistance to others, sorry that its a bit long winded and garbled, but I'm just so excited to finally get my new mac working as i would expect it to
    Also perhaps insist on speaking to a product specialist immediately that the helpdesk are unable to help you

    Hello macfar14. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    For just streaming iTunes and/or for sharing a USB printer, the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) just needs to be configured as a wireless client ... which you already attempted to do.
    Just to be sure nothing was missed, here are the basic steps to do this:
    Either connect to the AX's wireless network or connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then using the AirPort Utility in "Manual Setup" mode, make the following changes:
    AirPort > Wireless
    o Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
    o Network Name: <existing wireless network's Network Name or SSID>
    o Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
    o Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
    o Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
    Music
    o Enable AirTunes (checked)
    o iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
    o iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
    o Verify Password: (optional)
    o Click Update to write the new settings to the AX
    In iTunes:
    iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
    o Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

  • Clicking noise on new Mac Mini

    I got a new Mac Mini last month and noticed it makes a clicking noise quite frequently. It just started to really bug me, so I looked into it and found this site:
    http://mymacfixes.blogspot.com/2009/06/how-do-i-stop-clicking-noise-from-hard.ht ml
    which says:
    On Macs, this is often found in replacement drives for the MacBook and the Mac Mini. Apple modifies the firmware of drives it supplies to avoid this problem, but no one does that for the speedier, larger replacements. Upgraders get more -- or less -- than they bargained for.
    How can you tell for sure if your drive is affected? Download a shareware program like smartctl orVolitans Software's Smart Utility and look for the load cycle count. Hard drives are rated for only a few hundred thousand of those. If your drive has gone through thousands or hundreds of thousands in a short time, you're in trouble.
    So, I downloaded Volitans Software Smart Utility and see that within the past 10 minutes the Load Cycle Count has a Raw Value that seems pretty high. 15 minutes ago it was 32257 and now it isof 32286... which sounds like about the correct number of clicks that I have heard coming out of this stupid thing.
    I noticed above it says "On Macs, this is often found in replacement drives for the MacBook and the Mac Mini" ... hmm, replacement drives? Interesting! I flipped the Mac Mini over to install new RAM after 2 weeks and that is when I noticed 2 big scuffs on the bottom of it. How did they get there? I couldn't believe I had been that rough with it since I was being VERY careful with it. That seemed very strange to me, but now  I think it makes sense. I think they gave me a machine with a replacement drive that was poorly upgraded (and scuffed up in the process).
    If I take it in to the Apple Store, will they deny there's a problem (o me it seems pretty obvious there is one)?
    Or will they do the right thing and transfer my info to a new machine?

    PS - before you reply suggesting I take it back to be on the safe side (which makes sense) can any of you with a relatively new Mac Mini download the trial software above and let me know what your Load Cycle Count is? You just have click the "show all" button under attributes and then find the Raw Value in the right column.
    If you can't do that, then could you please make it very quiet in your place and listen for clicking. If your machine clicks a few times every 15-30 seconds or so then either your Mac Mini is screwed up, too, or it's just what Mac Minis do.
    Thanks.

  • Bluetooth lags on new Mac Mini w/ Wireless keyboard and Magic Trackpad

    Hi everyone,
    I just bought a new mac mini (the basic model) and attached it via HDMI to a HD TV. I bought the mac wireless keyboard and magic trackpad to go with it. Everything works except that both the keyboard and mouse are consistently slow. Not quite to the point of un-useable, but very noticeable.
    I've read that it might be radio interference with the bluetooth signal. To test this, I put my Macbook Pro right next to the new mac mini (while it and the screen were on) and paired the keyboard and mouse to the macbook pro. Everything was super fast, no lag - so that leads me to think the problem is with the Mac Mini. I've tried playing with all the bluetooth options, to no avail.
    Anyone have any suggestions? I've also tried attaching a bluetooth magic mouse and had the same slowdown. Nothing seems to affect the lag, it's very consistent and probably around half a second between keystroke or mouse movement and it's reflection on the screen.
    Thanks,
    -Mike

    Hey All,
    I've got the same issue with my Mac Book Pro and a new Samsung LED 3D TV. Its connected through a DVI out from the mac to a gold HDMI adaptor, then to HDMI into the TV. I've used this set-up with my last HDTV which was a Sharp LCD, and there was no lag and no issues.
    I noticed that for me, the lag appeared on the TV, but not on the laptop, so I thought it might be the connection (If I went right to HDMI instead of an adaptor maybe it'd be better) but I don't think it is given that the last TV worked fine.
    I then went to my display settings in the control panel on my mac and changed the refresh rate from 24 Hertz to 60 Hertz (NTSC) on the TV and the issue has pretty much completely dissappeared. Not sure why that was the default, but I imagine certain video and other media will play even smoother as well!
    Woo hoo!
    Hope you all figure this out too!

  • New Mac Mini sends airplay audio but does not receive it

    I just purchased and set up two new Mac Minis with Mountain Lion. Previous to this, using Lion and even Leopard, I could send Airplay audio to any of my desktop machines. Further, my iOS devices could send audio to my Macs running Snow Leopard and Lion. The new machines do not receive airplay audio from anything. They can send to the other devices, but not to themselves. Had I upgraded all of desktop machines to 10.8, I wouldn't be able to send audio anywhere.
    Why is this?

    From what I'm reading, airplay is only for streaming to your tv.  I have apple tv and have never been able to stream from one device to another;  only from device to tv.
    Can you link to an apple document saying it's supposed to work computer to computer?  Are you sure you weren't using home sharing in itunes?

  • New Mac Mini or iMac (late 2012) for Logic Pro?

    Between these two specifically, which would be better for Logic Pro, and why?
    The new Mac Mini (mid-tier) has a 2.3gHz i7, and the low-end iMac which has a 2.7GHz i5.  Both are quad-core.  The i5 is faster in clock-speed, but the Mini sports the i7, which has hyperthreading.
    Can anybody offer any insight on which of these two computers would be better for Logic?

    While this is not quite the answer you be looking for...
    The 2011 Mac Mini Server, is in many ways the better bet for use with Logic because...
    It has a 2.0Ghz i7... so slightly slower than the 2012 models..but it is the i7 version with 8 Cores.. so it still flies..
    It comes with 2 x 500GB 7200rpm Hard Drives built in (Compared to 5400rpm Drives in the 2012 model)
    Memory easily upgraded to 16GB for about $90 via Amazon..
    ..and yoi get a free copy of OS X Server, if should wish to use it at some point in the future... (The MMS comes with the Standard OS X installed and you have to run the add on server program to install OS X server so if you don't need the server stuff, don't run the Server installation software and you'll be running standard OS X  as normal)
    USB2 instead of USB3 is about the only other important difference that matters for AudioExt Drive use but using the FW800 and Thunderbolt ports, via Tbolt to FW adaptors on the 2011 MMS removes the need for USB3 I find..
    Othert than that the 2011 and 2012 models are pretty much the same...
    But.. the real kicker is that Apple are currently selling refurbished ones (with full warranty) at $759.....  down from $999 originally...so they are quite the bargain..
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/FC936LL/A/refurbished-mac-mini-with-lion-serve r-20ghz-quad-core-intel-core-i7
    I bought two of these originally and have never regretted it.. So much so that i just picked up another as a spare...
    Got to be worth consideration... and at that price.. You could buy two... and use Vienna Ensemble Pro 5 to sync them together..
    A Basic Guide to VEP5 and Logic info that i wrote, can be found here...
    http://www.logicprohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=78956http://www.logicprohe lp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=78956
    ...add a screen and still save money conpared to buying a mid level iMac.... and you would be getting one **** of a punchy system for your buck.
    Other than that suggestion..
    In regards to the original question... Always go for the i7 models as hyperthreading adds 4 more (virtual) cores and that can really make a difference in performance compared to the 4 cores of an i5...

  • Some advice - about to buy new Mac Mini.

    Hi everyone - I'm hoping that someone can help me out with some advice.
    I'm a former blackberry user and not a mac user, so I hope I'm clear in my explanation.
    My mother is a PC user currently and owns a Blackberry Curve 8900.  Actually, she and my dad both do, and currently use the PC to sync their (shared) calendar and contacts from one login in Windows XP to both of their blackberries.  Yep, they're at that stage where they really don't need independent contacts or calendar.  They sync with USB and curerntly use Outlook -- so no Exchange integration is needed for push email/etc. 
    Anyway, the PC is on its absolute last legs and I was thinking of migrating them over to a new Mac Mini since she's never really gotten the hang of Windows XP and I'm guessing that she'll do better on the Mac OS.  Plus her friends all use Macs and I'm hoping they can help her.  I'm guessing we'll just get them the latest version of Entourage with their new Mac.
    I've been holding off migrating them to this until the Blackberry Desktop Manager for Mac was available because the Blackberry Desktop Manager on their PC is one of the few things that works really well for them.  They're used to the interface, and it just works.
    So, now that it's available I was looking through the forums here and it looks like there might be some issues with it that are persistent?  I've seen references to 32 bit vs 64 bit and other sorts of stuff that I don't quite get.
    Can anyone tell me if the new system for them would just work? Maybe someone out there has a similar configuration?
    Or should I hold off or just consider moving them to a new Windows PC instead?
    So it would be:
    * 2 Blackberry Curve 8900s syncing to a single shared set of contacts and calendar using Blackberry Desktop Manager.  They don't do email sync and probably won't make much use of audio sync.  Images, though, yes.
    * Brand new Mac Mini, which evidently comes with Mac OS X 10.6 (I don't know if it is 32 bit or 64 or what??)
    * Sync to Entourage from Office 2008
    thanks in advance,Aaron

    Let me respond.  First 10.6 (known as Snow Leopard) enables 64 bit technology...you can read this for more info:
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/technology/
    Now as far as sync goes...Unfortunately there is no perfect solution.  Why?  BB, Entourage, Mac Address Book & iCal do not share identical "fields".  So it is impossible to get them to all have the same info.  The truth of the matter is, I do not think your parents will need to constantly sync the contacts...seriously how many new people do they met to add to their contact list?  It is probably a one time...let me get all of their contacts on the computer and the devices.  Now the calendar does need to be synced regularly.  Some have had no issues with the sync between iCal and BB...others...well a different story.  I migrated my parents (both sets) to Mac about 8-10 years ago.  Why, because Mac software (OS included) is so much easier for them to understand and use.  I also do the technical support (which I can do remotely with screen sharing) which is easier for me (and there are not many issues).  I use mobile me and we have contacts and calendars synced across the family...all automated (if I make a change they get it within seconds).  Hope this helps.

  • Boot Camp bug with new Mac Mini?

    OK, so I have used Boot Camp now for years, on a variety of Mac platforms, and I have always been able to set it up and run Windows, including Windows 7 64 bit.  That is, until I purchased my new Mac Mini i7 (non server version) with the WD 750GB internal, with 8GB ram.  As the new models no longer offer a built in SuperDrive, I purchased a Pioneer external Blu-ray drive and have it connected via FireWire 800.
    I have a brand new retail Windows 7 64 bit installation disc and have downloaded and burned the Windows 7 drivers to a CD.
    I followed the instructions implicitly, but always hang on the reboot that should go into Boot Camp and begin the Window 7 install. Instead, I get the dreaded "Boot disc not found. Please insert a bootable disc and press any key" error, from which there appears to be no return.
    Anyone have any ideas or is this just a known bug?

    This same message was displayed in my MacBook Pro yesterday when I partitioned the HDD, however in my case I hit the "Quit & Install Later" Option as I planned to install win 7 later. When I rebooted my Mac to my surprise it had defaulted to my DVD drive and could not find the disc (obviously, since I wasn't planning to install it). I remember that in SL this issue was not present. Ultimately, I had to hit the option key to boot back into OSX Lion and reset my Macintosh HD as my start up disk via system prefs.
    As for your case I would suggest hitting the "option" key during start up and see if your Mac can recognize your Windows 7 disc. If it recognized select it with the keyboard arrow keys and when it is selected hit the "return" key. Then the Win 7 DVD should boot and then follow the instructions of the Windows 7 Installer.
    My suggestion is to fill a bug report to Apple via their feedback section:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    As far as I know Bootcamp 4.0 is extremely buggy, yet I do think that OSX Lion overall is a very stable and snappy OS, I noticed that my system performance has not been that much impacted by it very much. My boot times went up by 3-4 seconds longer than SL and shutdown times went up by 1 sec only, as for app launch time they have remained the same. Hopefully further updates to OSX lion will address these and other issues.
    Good Luck!

  • New mac mini? I only got mine 2 months ago

    I just bought my mac mini in mid April. does anyone know if I can change it to the new upgraded version? I also have the applecare protection plan if that makes any difference.
    Thanks

    No, you can't.
    Would be quite illogical if you could as well. That would completely remove the logic behind Apple's secrecy-policy.
    Also, you can't (for example) swap your two month old (and thus used) car if a newer model is brought to market...
    You can of course always sell your Mac Mini and buy the newer one... Bear in mind that the newer Mac Mini is also more expensive than the old one was.

  • Wretched airport reception on new Mac Mini

    Me and this Mac Mini are not getting on at all.
    I've set this machine up right next to my iMac G5. Both are accessing the same Airport Express wireless router that is in the family room down the hall about 15 feet.
    The iMac G5 is downloading at 6x the speed of the Mac Mini. To download the same file from the same site the iMac G5 d/led at 125 KB/sec while the Mac Mini then got 24-25 KB/sec. Just to make sure, I then tried out my iBook, and it also d/l'd at 125 KB/sec (the file was cyberduck).
    I tried to just transfer files from the iMac G5 to the mac mini using wireless, with similar results.
    Have tried moving the machine all around the room, right now it is perched by itself on a dresser with no gain in performance.
    I hope I have a bum unit, or one whose antenna has come loose. If not, there's going to be a real problem with the new Mac Mini.
    Already I have had to use an ethernet cable to link the mini to the iMacG5 because the Mac Mini's airport reception is so bad that it can't stream music or video from iMac--four feet away.
    Ouchy. Really looking for a report from another owner of the new mini so I can tell whether I have bum machine, or if these are the new titanium powerbooks.

    Could you guys with the mini problems run the ping test? This will make it clear if you are having the same or a different problem as the iMac crowd. I suspect that the problem is the same.
    Open Terminal and type
    ping -c 30 <your router IP address>
    you will get 30 pings on 1 second intervals something like this
