New 3rd Party Webcam - Mac Mini

I have a Mac Mini, running Snow Leopard. (purchased last year) I recently got an HD 1080p webcam with backlight (Rocketfish) which works really well in Yahoo Messenger. However it is only supported there and does not seem to function via skype or webpages. I also cannot do still captures with it, but I couldn't with my previous webcam either.
Is there a recommended program that will provide the support I am looking for, or do I need something else?
I will try my best to answer any questions.
-C

I can recommend a usb web cam but a warning you won't have it in hd because yahoo only supports it in hd
Try the xbox 360 web cam there about 12.99 used from gamestop they work on all skype yahoo and even ichat

How do I sync new i phone with mac mini?

Open up iTunes, then go ahead and plug in your phone to the USB port on the back of the Mini using the USB cable that came with the phone.

Need new disk for 2011 Mac Mini i5 with Radeon 6630M

I need a new disk for 2011 Mac Mini i5 with Radeon 6630M
Will this fit?
Western Digital 2.5 inch Scorpio Black 750GB 7200rpm SATA 16MB Internal Hard Drive WD7500BPKT
Will I need special screwdrivers or tools?

Wow, I worked on my MacMini after watching the video.
But BEWARE!
That OWC video misses a crucial step! (I emailed them)
My MacMini had a bit of "invisible" black tape holding the disk connector to the disk, very hard to see. When I pulled off the connector, it came apart !
That bit of tape must be something Apple added, or some manufacturers added, but it really messed me up. I had to send my MacMini off to be repaired, at a cost about $200 including parts and labour.

Wifi webcam - mac mini - TV

Hi there,
Webcam - Mac mini - HDTV
I want to know if I could set up ichat to be displayed on my TV. The webcam would be near or no top of my HDTV, and I would be able to call up friends via Ichat and see the full screen on the TV, so I could sit on my sofa and chat away to family/ friends etc....
Does anyone know if this is possible?

How about http://ecamm.com/mac/webcam/bt1/
As for displaying on the TV you will need an adaptor and cabling from the MacMini to TV.

3rd party batteries for Mini 2nd gen

I need a new battery for my 2nd Gen Mini. I've found a great deal on ebay, but I'm a little nervous about 3rd-party stuff. What do you think?
http://cgi.ebay.com/FOR-IPOD-MINI-REPLACEMENT-850mAh-BATTERY-PACK-KIT-TOOLSW0QQitemZ170425026259QQcmdZViewItemQQptZOther_MP3_PlayerAccessories?hash=item27ae1f86d3
Is this worth trying? What does "non-OEM" mean?

Hello Daboa,
I can tell you what non-OEM means, but I cannot offer any advice regarding the 3rd party replacement battery you provided above. I suggest you do a bit more research online to see what others have had to say about it. Otherwise, try and look elsewhere for replacement batteries. There are several third party repair companies that will offer the parts and service to replace the one in your iPod mini.
For more help and information regarding battery replacements, see this older post of mine.
http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10821733
Basically, non-OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) means that the product was not sold by the original manufacturer of the product, but instead by a third party company. So the battery you would be buying above would be a compatible battery, but it just will not be from the original manufacturer.
Hope this helps.

How to do a new lion install on mac mini

I bought a used mac mini with Lion 10.7.2 on it.
I would like to a complete re-install to mack sure there is nothing left from the privious owner.

My information is from the Apple SLA's (additionally, there have been other posts regarding the same problem). It may be unfair, but that is what Apple's rules are. They are very specific regarding the sale/transfer of a Mac with Lion on it. Anyone buying or selling a used Mac needs to be aware of these rules.
If he had purchased a Mac with 10.6 and the disks, it would be easy: a) the software license allows the transfer of the OS and b) he could simply use the disk to erase and reinstall.
You can download the SLA's here:
http://www.apple.com/legal/sla/
Pertinent excerpts (from Lion SLA):
B. License from Mac App Store or on Physical Media. If you obtained a license for the AppleSoftware from the Mac App Store or on Apple-branded physical media, then subject to theterms and conditions of this License and as permitted by the Mac App Store Usage Rules setforth in the App Store Terms and Conditions (http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/ww/) (“UsageRules”), you are granted a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive license:
to download, install, use and run for personal, non-commercial use, one (1) copy of theApple Software directly on each Apple-branded computer running Mac OS X Snow Leopardor Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server (“Mac Computer”) that you own or control;
K. Migration of Existing Software. If you use Setup/Migration Assistant to transfer softwarefrom one Apple-branded computer to another Apple-branded computer, please rememberthat continued use of the original copy of the software may be prohibited once a copy hasbeen transferred to another computer, unless you already have a licensed copy of suchsoftware on both computers. You should check the relevant software license agreements forapplicable terms and conditions. Third party software and services may not be compatiblewith this Apple Software and installation of this Apple Software may affect the availability andusability of such third party software or services.
3. Transfer.
A. If you obtained the Apple Software preinstalled on Apple-branded hardware, you maymake a one-time permanent transfer of all of your license rights to the Apple Software (in itsoriginal form as provided by Apple) to another party, provided that: the Apple Software istransferred together with your Apple-branded hardware; (ii) the transfer must include all of theApple Software, including all its component parts, printed materials and this License; (iii) youdo not retain any copies of the Apple Software, full or partial, including copies stored on acomputer or other storage device; and (iv) the party receiving the Apple Software reads andagrees to accept the terms and conditions of this License. For purposes of this License, ifApple provides an update (e.g., version 10.7 to 10.7.1) to the Apple Software, the update isconsidered part of the Apple Software and may not be transferred separately from the pre-update version of the Apple Software.
B. If you obtained your license to the Apple Software from the Mac App Store or on Apple-branded physical media, it is not transferable. If you sell your Apple-branded hardware to athird party, you must remove the Apple Software from the Apple-branded hardware beforedoing so, and you may restore your system to the version of the Apple operating systemsoftware that originally came with your Apple hardware (the “Original Apple OS”) andpermanently transfer the Original Apple OS together with your Apple hardware, provided that:(i) the transfer must include all of the Original Apple OS, including all its component parts,printed materials and its license; (ii) you do not retain any copies of the Original Apple OS, fullor partial, including copies stored on a computer or other storage device; and (iii) the partyreceiving the Original Apple OS reads and agrees to accept the terms and conditions of theOriginal Apple OS license.
Using the recovery partition automatically directs the computer to the app store where the machine ID is on record and you have to enter your Apple ID which - in this scenario - won't match. I've read some posts here already where people have tried to do this and it did not work; Software Update did not work either (presumably because the machine and Apple ID's were not "on record"). My take is that it is Apple's new policy to limit software piracy (but that is just my humble opinion): you buy a cheap downloadable software license and it "expires" when you get rid of the machine, so the new owner has to buy another cheap license.
As for my testing this scenario - quite obviously I am not able to since I do not have a used machine I just purchased. Here is one of the recent similar threads to this one:

(there have been more, but with my limited time this morning, that is all I could find with the not-so-well functioning search feature here).

Skype not work on new (3 week old) mac mini but does work on new macbookpro

I have language lessons online via skype - just voice not video. I have a new mac mini (2.26ghz, 160gb, 2gb). When I have my lessons I have terrible problems with audio quality. All "crackly" so much so that my teacher can hardly hear me. However, if i use my new macbookpro with same ethernet connection and same headphones everything works perfectly??? I have replicated this problem on the same mac mini and same macbook pro at a friends house who is also on the same cable company. Can anyone explain why skype is perfect on the mbpro but useless on the mini??? Or better still offer a solution? Many thanks for any help. Richard

weird...it works perfectly if i reboot mac mini into windows (bootcamp). no problems with buzzing at all! repeatable experiment. it doesn't sound possible that its a software issue with snow leopard???? any software/sound experts who could comment?
so, my headset on snow leopard skype sounds awful at the other end due to buzzing sound. but if i reboot into windows this vanishes??? and does not return. tested without stretching any cables etc. also used skype test function to listen to the buzzing sound myself. its there with os x but not with windows 7??? help please!!

New office configuration - is Mac Mini Server a viable choice?

I am totally reconfiguring our business back office. We have 2 MacBook Pro's, 2 new IMac's, 2 older iBooks, 3 iPhones, and a newly purchased Time Capsule. We also have a Windows desktop that is solely used for Quickbooks accounting, as well as 2 HP printers.
We want to have seamless file sharing, program sharing, and printer sharing. A consolidated email would be nice.
If I purchase the min server, can I use one of the 500gb HD to use solely for a Windows accounting purpose, of which I could use Parallels or VM Fusion, and use the other 500gb HD for everything else. Is this the right direction for us or should we be looking at something else.

I use an older mac mini 1.85GHz as a server with SL.
I have 6 mac clients and two windows PC's I use the server for mail, group wiki's (10), I tunes server, file server, Ical/Address book server and as a home PC liked to the TV.
Set up can be a bit ricky if you are new to the OS, I am a PC technician used to Windows Server, and whilst the UI in SL server looks easier than windows (those nice on and off switches) there is lots to configure behind the scenes to make it sing properly.
The server will do all that you want and it does make sense to go with it especially as you have the macbook pros, set these up with PHD and you will sync back to the server nicely.
As far as quick books goes, just set up a share for the windows machines on the server, no need to use a separate drive, and the pcs will access the data seamlessly.
Enjoy !!!

Our converted eCourses often freeze when launched from our new 3rd party hosted LMS...

We have recently purchased a new externally hosted LMS system (Silkroad's GreenLight) and we have a 3rd party taking our older authorware courses (which are working) and updating/converting them using Adobe Captivate 5.5. Once these are done and uploaded into the LMS system, users are finding sporadic freezing at launch of the converted courses. In some cases we are using a Riverbed solution to compress content so that network performance is not an issue. With the various components involved in this situation. we are having a hard time troubleshooting and narrowing down the problem as it is so inconsistent. I noticed a blog http://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/kb/projects-published-captivate-5-lms.html suggesting a fix and we tried this with one user it worked with another it did not. Our environment consist of XP (and some Win7), Adobe Flash Player 10+, and IE8 or 9. Can anyone tell us what the proposed template fix described in the blog is actually doing? Or if you've experienced this problem and have another fix we could try? Any help is appreciated....Getting desperate. Thanks!

I believe the patches offered in that post were to address an issue that sometimes occurs with Resume Data bookmarking in certain LMSs.
If you are currently using Resume Data bookmarking, try disabling it by checking the box in LMS Customisation dialog to Never Send Resume Data. If that resolves your issue, you at least know what is causing it.
In cases where there are a large number of variables, the only way to diagnose the issue may be to remove as many variables as possible first. Then when you finally get to a stable version that does not misbehave, you then re-introduce the other components to find the one/s that re-introduce the issue.
So, in your case, you may need to look at how your developers are 'converting' the authorware content in Captivate. Make sure they recreate everything using Captivate components, and insert the images via the approved menus etc. I'd also temporarily avoid using this Riverbed compression solution until you have established the cause of your issue. It may be interferring with something.

How to Connect iPod 3rd Gen to Mac Mini

I have two iPod 3rd gen's but can not connect it to my Mac Mini due to the sync cable which connects to firewire. I've tried looking for some type of adaptor that will allow me to connect the 3G sync cable to my mini but am having no luck.
If anyone has a suggestion or can point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks !
Chuck :- )

OK - just figured out that this is a 2nd generation ipod (20GB). It has a firewire port at the top with a cover over it. I just got off the phone with Apple Tech support and they suggested I try the forums, etc. They didn't know how to connect this ipod to a USB port. Anyone have any ideas?
