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?

Does the new mac mini have airplay

I have a late 2010 Mac Mini and I was looking into it the see if the new Mac Mini offered Airplay. If it did I would be looking to sell my old Mac Mini and purchase a new one sometime in the near future.

Yes it will. Any 2011 or newer Mac mini will support it.
Here's the article

√using successfully airport express for internet/ when hooking up new airport extreme light glows green, but does NOT appear in devices seen????airport wifi devices

using sucessfully airport express for internet

wanting to use extreme at base and express in another part of the house

How is the express getting internet? What modem is it plugged into?
How is the extreme setup? New extreme cannot be setup with 5.6 utility.. you must use latest 6.3. Which also means you cannot setup from computer using less than Lion .. or you must use iOS with latest utility but it has limited configuration cf the computer version.
IPv6 is also needed.. turn on local link.

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

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.

Mac Mail sends but does not receive

Hi
Big problem!
Just upgraded to Lion - and this problem was on Snow Leopard too - I tried to upgrade to sort this out!
Mail sends emails but does not recieve.
I own the server where it is trying to connect to - the emails are there - I can see them through webmail.
I have set up different email accounts on Mail and exactly the same for all domains and email accounts.
I have re-installed Mail - exactly the same happens.
I have used Thunderbird and it works!
So it has to be a Mail problem. Server is fine, OS is fine, other email is fine. Mail is the problem.
I think it has to do with keychain? Not sure though... I have tried literally hundreds of things but nothing works and I am at my wits end and run out of ideas!
Any suggestions would be warmly received!!
Thanks in advance
Rob

Hi,
I have the same problem with my incoming mail. I talked to the folks at Frontier (my ISP). They verified that a
test message I had sent was received. All account info appeared to be ok. I click on "get mail" and I do not
receive any new incoming messages. All connections succeed Using Connection Doctor, although the connection to smtp.frontiernet.net spins quite awhile before succeeding.
While I was composing this reply, I decided to try to send a test message to my wife's account. It came
through ok. I think I might have to contact Frontier again on this. When I set her account up they gave me a
different Incoming Mail Server name to use: pop3.frontier.com, whereas mine is: pop3.frontiernet.net. I believe
new accounts are being assigned to: pop3.frontier.com.
Also, when I'm showing all inboxes, Mine all have a symbol after them that looks like a lazy z. I am not familiar
with this symbol, but since I'm having trouble, I suspect it is telling me something. Help on this??

HT3209 I have a brand new Mac Mini...why can I not download Cloud Atlas in HD?

Why can I download some HD movies in 1080p but not others? Another one that won't work is Disney Nature Wings of Life

iTunes is not stable is the simple answer to why this happens. Get use to it. It has happened to me about 5 times... It just happened again to me when trying to download Mama in HD, even though I have a 2012 Mac Mini 2.6GHz quadcore i7, 16 GB of RAM, 256GB SSD and the Thunderbolt Display to boot. And iTunes support has never been helpful on this for me (in fact, support told me it's because my new Mac Mini wasn't capable of playing HD content! ***?), or helpful on any iTunes related problems I have had. Their support team knows very very little about anything. I will tell you though, that everytime it happens, I just go to my library where I have a few HD movies already on my hard drive, and I play one of those without any issue. After doing that, I go back to the Store and I am able to rent the HD film. Don't know why; maybe it resets the glitch somehow... oh, and Airplay is super unstable too, on my Mini, MBP, and wife's new MBA. I have to reboot my computer to get it to feed the audio with the video 50% of the time. Apple has been becoming a disappointment after disappointment...

Hey anyone know of a way to set up gmail on the iPad or iPhone that it only sends mail but does not receive

Hey please let me know if you know about this

Shlomo-
My Usenet Newsreader program (MT-Newswatcher) has a mail client capable of sending messages through my mail account, but is not capable of receiving mail as far as I can tell. However my mail account does receive mail. If there is an mail account not capable of receiving mail, I don't think Gmail is it. But that doesn't mean you have to read it or download it to your computer.
My incoming mail resides on an AOL server. My old AOL mail client only shows basic information like title, date received and who it is from. The mail is not actually downloaded to my computer until I open it.
Other mail clients such as AOL Desktop and the iPad mail App, do download the mail to your computer or iPad, whether you read it or not. So the answer to your question may depend on your mail client and how you define "does not receive"!

if neither of this helps i would take to apple store or apple service provider and have it looked at for possible repair.

New Mac Mini and 802.11n 5Ghz - Does it work?

Does anyone know if this works? It states that it is 802.11a compatible which uses 5Ghz so I am guessing it does. I don't want to have to use a third party internal card like I do now with a separate external antenna. Thanks.

I have a mac mini I purchased last week (late 2009). I run 5Ghz 802.11n only (there is a g access point in the house, but that's on another part of the LAN). I have an iMac and MacBookPro that connect to the 802.11n and the performance is great - almost half as fast as a direct USB connection - it simply flies.
However, the mac mini is abysmal. It connects fine - everything works, but I get hardly 1Mbyte per second., despite having full signal strength. This is the info in System Profiler:

If I can't fix this soon, I'm going to have to run a cable to it, which wasn't the idea in my living room!

Mac Mini using OS X Tiger does not see my HP Scanjet 4670 scanner! HELP!!!!

I have an HP Scanjet 4670 scanner which worked fine on my pervious mac which was an emac with OS X Panther.
However, I now own a G4 Mac Mini running with OS X Tiger and recenly tried to use my scanner with it for the first time only to get the message: "scanner not found" I then went straight to my System Profiler to look at the USB Device Tree and was shocked to see that all my USB devices show up EXCEPT my scanner!
Mechanically, the scanner appears fine (even when I run its 'Hardware Test') but no matter what I do I cant get the Mac to 'see' it. I have reinstalled the HP scanner software old AND new, but to no avail. Although, I'm sure that even with NO HP software on my Mac, the System Profiler should still be detecting a USB device on its tree.
Just out of curiosty I connected my scanner to my old emac (my girlfriend has had it for a few months now) and it has the same problems there too!! WEIRD OR WHAT? The emac is STILL running on Panther - although during the months AFTER I gave it to my GF there has been some minor OSX Panther upgrades installed.
Is it just coincidental bad luck that my scanner became faulty when I changed mac and operating systems? Or is there an OS X Tiger problem lurking somwhere here?
PLEASE PLEASE can someone offer suggestions!!!!????? It is a lovely looking, decent scanner which was not cheap to buy and is only under 2 years old!!!

Looks like you're using software for this scanner that was for Panther only.
Try downloading HP's version of the scanner's software for Tiger.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?lc=en&cc=us&lang=en&dlc=en&produ ct=303641&os=219
And run software update to make sure you're running the latest Tiger update.
If you're already doing this, or it still doesn't work, it could be a damaged USB cable (as your girlfriend Panther system doesn't see it either).

Some basic questions:
Did you install all of the software, I installed all of the sofrware for my Epson scanner before using it, I'm sure if I jump ahead, I'd be in trouble.
USB Questions
is it plugged into a usb hub? If so try connecting it directly to the computer.
is the cable your using a usb2 cable? Your new Mac has usb2 ports not usb like the emac, and you'll run into issues using a regular run of the mill usb cable. I ran into a simiar issue with my Kodak 1400 printer, I needed to go out and purchase a usb2 cable.

I think I need to re install Encore off my discs. When I ask Premier Pro CS5 to send my project to Encore, Encore opens but does not receive my movie sequence. How do I re install Encore only without upsetting my movie?

Hello. I have the Premier Pro CS5 suite on Windows. Can you advise me how to re install Encore off my discs without affecting any of my movie in Premier Pro please?
I ask Pro to send the movie sequence through Dynamic Link into Encore so that I can burn the sequence to a disc.
Encore does open but the sequence does not arrive from Pro.
Last night the sequence did arrive into Encore but took forever to transcribe and I eventually cancelled the process as it appeared to get stuck and did not quite get to writing to disc.
This morning the sequence does not even arrive into Encore.
Very frustrating when I have a 4hr movie that I want to write to Bluray so I have now created 4 separate sequences and want to try writing them onto DVD in 1hr chapters.
Hope someone can help me with this. Cheers. Janice

Hello Ann. Thank you for your help. I have re installed EN and I have now
sent parts of my movie to AME. I have then tried several different methods
of getting the encoded clips into Encore successfully. Once in the Project
panel and the Timeline, the movie does not show up in the Monitor panel
above, so I have proceeded to build and write to a disc. I've tried a
number of options but always end up with EN 'not responding' and having to
close the program down.
Something else is that I do get a message whilst in Premiere Pro that there
is an update available for AME, however, when I look online I do not see an
update for CS5, although there are 2 updates for CS6. Can you suggest what
I could do please? The Encore problem is the one that concerns me the most
as I am not able to record my movie.
Looking forward to your reply.
Kind regards.
Janice

I have 30 pin dice silverline ipod kit in my car and 30 to lighting cable and adapter plays audio but does not charge. Is there a fix

My 30 pin dice silverline ipod kit in my car worked fine with my old iphone. it charged and played audio. I bought both 30 pin to lighting (cable and adapter) from Apple store but it does not charge. It only play audio. I have verified that both adapter and cable are working fine. Is there anything to fix this?

Apple sells a 30 pin to lightning pin adapter - you can find it on the Apple on;line store - or Amazon sell 3rd party one - but if it didnt works with your 4S which also has a 30 pin input - there may be something else wrong
