New MacMini

Hi All,
I have ordered a new MacMini.
Planning on using Migration Assistant to download my Apps and data from Time Machine Backup.
New versions of Apps will be included on the new MacMini.
How will that be affected by older versions being uploaded from Time Machine?
Thanks
JRC

Hello, I haven't tried it, but I don't think there'll be a problem.
I used MA from a clone & from another Mac, not TM, & I had no problems.

I have inherited an ICloud account from one of my employers when transferring from old MacBook Pro to new MacMini and need to separate from this, presumably by setting up a new ICloud account. How do I do this ?

I have inherited an ICloud account from one of my employers when transferring from old MacBook Pro (which belonged to them) to new MacMini and need to separate from this, presumably by setting up a new ICloud account. How do I do this ? And is there any danger, in doing so, that I might delete any of her ICloud information ?

Sign out in System Preferences>iCloud. This will remove any synced data such as Calendars, emails and Contacts from your Mac, but will have no effect on the data on the server - so that other devices logged into it will continue to see the data.

IOS 4.2.1 sync calendar to new MacMini

I have a second gen iPod Touch that I just upgraded to iOS 4.2.1. I'm connected to a new Mac Mini with OS 10.9.1.
Until now, I was syncing the calender on the iPod with iOS 3.1.3 and a Mac Mini running 10.4.
Now I cannot get the calendar to sync. I do not see anything about syncing calendars in iTunes on the new MacMini.
Did the calendar sync move somewhere elese?
I can't find an online manual for iOS 4.2.1. Is there one?

See:
iTunes 11 for Mac: Sync contacts, calendars, and other info with iPod, iPhone, or iPad
It includes:
If you use OS X Mavericks v.10.9 or later, your contacts, calendars, and other info are updated on your computers and iOS devices via iCloud. For more information, see iCloud Help at icloud.com.
However yoo need iOS 5 for iCloud and a 2G only go to iOS 4.2.1
This may work

HI .. I have a new macmini 2.5 Ghz 10.7.3 Lion, had a problem today ,it froze so I could not shut down using mouse or tablet. used the power switch, when I tried to restart I got audible 'beeps' from it.

HI ....I have a new macmini 2.5 Ghz 10.7.3 Lion, had a problem today ,it froze so I could not shut down using mouse or tablet pen. used the power switch, when I tried to restart I got audible 'beeps' from it. I managed to restart it but kept getting a message come up on one ot the dual screens ' restart using the power swich to turn it off , then press it again to restart.'
This worked okay , but now it just keeps freezing whenever I start it up. I thought the issue could be my old Epson Expression 1680 scanner not being compatible , so I have unplugged it. I also had a look at the new memory I installed when I got it, but this seems not be the problem.
It is connected up to an Eizo Flexscan S2231W using a cable straight into the HDMI input , the other monitor is a small Acer using the VGA into Thunderbolt port.
When I turn the Eizo screen on first and then press the power button on the mac-mini, I hear the chime then the screen flahes the 'Digital no signal' message on and off for about 30 seconds , then the monitor comes on as normal. But it is still freezing up on me after using it for a while and I am having to use the power switch button to turn it off again.
Can anyone help please.

I really don't have an answer for that one. I guess that while trying to get things working correctly, I would use the most basic monitor I had which in your case would be the Eizon using the Thunderbolt port and adaptor.
When you boot into Safe Mode the startup is quite slow, but you should get the Apple logo and then the spinning gear below it (release the SHIFT key when it appears.) Then after a little more time you should see a gray progress bar appear below the spinning gear. When that disappears the computer will startup to a login screen.

How do I transfer files from a time machine hard drive to a new MacMini?

My MacBook Pro running 10.5 is slowly dieing. I want to transfer files, photo libraries, iTunes to our new MacMini runing 10.8. When I connect a hard drive to my MacBook Pro, the screen freezes. I think I need to use the Time Machine copy from the MacBook Pro on an external hard drive to transfer to the new MacMini. Any help or directions to do that?

Great to hear Tim!

Mavericks update on brand new MacMini, HDMI went blurry!

I just bought a Mac Mini. I wanted to upgrade it. I plugged it into my Samsung HDMI/DVI/VGA 23" monitor.
On Mountain Lion, picture was awesome. After the 9 hour upgrade process yesterday, the picture went crappy.
I'd like someone to explain to me how my brand new MacMini worked flawlessly before the upgrade to Mavericks?
I now have to drag the underscan slider half way across, and the text is blurry! It's like I stepped back in time 10 years. How is that possible? Can someone explain why?

I've downloaded pages 4.1 onto my new macmini (10.7.2) but the File menu does not include the save as function . Any suggestions?

I've just downloaded Pages 4.1 onto my new macmini (OS X 10.7.2 Lion) but the "Save as ..." function does not appear in the File menu (although "Save ..." does appear). I'm wasting lots of time saving copies and then changing the names via the desktop. Any suggestions? I've already checked updates and can't see any that look suitable.
Whoops! No sooner had I posted this as a question when a whole host of queries popped up asking the same Q. So now I know there is NO Save as in Pages 4.1, but a similar route using Duplicate. I'm off to experiment.
Plus ça change!!!

Old Apple 20" monitor, new MacMini 2010, connectable?

I have an older 20" Apple Cinema Display. The clear plastic one with the ADC cable. I bought the Apple DVI to ADC adapter brick so I could use it on my older MacMini. The new MacMini comes with the HDMI-to-DVI adapter in the box. Will this adapter work properly with my older monitor, as the monitor works great, or would it work better with a Mini Displayport-to-DVI adapter purchased separately?

You may have to be the guinea pig and tell us if it works. There always has to be someone who is the first to give something a try. Sometimes, based on how complicated the conversions are and whether the Mac can detect the display, two adapters/converters in tandem do not work.

New MacMini here... Can't help posting...

Can't help but posting. Got the new MacMini i7 and upgraded to the 8GB. SSD + 750GB HD... POW! Nice mini-screamer. HP AirPrint printer... hook up and running with now problems with Mac, iPad2, and iPhone 4. Lion... all aboard. Sometimes life is good...

Keep looking for that serial number. These things are very valuable and need to be looked after.

New MacMini and small touchscreen compatibility...

Greetings,
I'm trying to find either the correct (updated?) driver for a Lilliput 889GL-80NP/C/T touchscreen monitor (to be used with a new MacMini (2.0 GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 / 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 SDRAM running OS 10.7.3)...
...or a comparable small touchscreen monitor that will work with this new MacMini. I'm looking at the Lilliput 869GL-80NP/C, but have so far been unable to determine if the touchscreen capabilities are functional with this computer. Any ideas? Anyone using a small touchscreen monitor with a newer MacMini?
The Lilliput 889GL-80NP/C/T works fine with my older MacMini (1.66 GHz Intel Core Duo / 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM running OS 10.4.11), but with the same driver, I can't seem to get it to work properly with the new one (x/y axis weirdness) and the "TouchKit" app I use with the older MacMini doesn't seem to function with the new Mini either.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
~tt
PS~ I've read all the existing posts related to this topic (dating back further than would ever be currently helpful -- some new info on this would be great (if there is any?)

Thanks Viking,
Yes, I've actually been in contact with Lilliput (UK) and hope to hear back from them soon -- I was just wondering if anyone else had similar issues, and had found a solution. Traditionally, Lilliput has provided products (and support) intended primarily for Windows based systems... however, I've been using their touchscreen monitors with my MacMini for years, and as I understand it, their Mac compatibility is increasing... that said, I wonder how easy (or difficult) Apple will make it for other vendors' touchscreens to play nice with their stuff. I can almost hear the, "I'm sorry, you'll need to buy an iPad" mantras being practiced at Apple. Anyhow, we shall see...

New MacMini and Linux

I'm trying to get Linux to install on my new MacMini but the monitor driver doesn't not appear to be correct. I've tried Edubuntu and Mint so far. Each time the installation will proceed until the monitor stops and goes into sleep mode because the Mini isn't sending a signal. I've tried both the analog and digital (HDMI) monitor outputs.
I know the new Mini is very new and is significantly upgraded. Has Linux not caught up yet?
The graphics card is a NVidia GeForce 320M
Does anyone have this kind of setup working?

Thanks for the suggestion. The issue is that I can't get Ubuntu or Mint installed (the screen goes dark long before the install is completed) so updating the nvidia driver for Linux isn't possible. nVidia doesn't post Mac drivers so that's not an option either.
I'm trying to set this up as a triple-boot (Mac, Windows 7, and Linux). I've done this many times on other Macs but am stuck on this Mac Mini. This is a training lab and I need all of these operating systems in their native environment (not through Parallels or similar).
Thanks for your help!

New MacMini and security lock

Looking at the new MacMini, I was pretty excited to see that it now has HDMI. However, I can not see any hole for a security lock. Did Apple forget that or is it hidden somewhere ? I am looking to buy this for usage in a public room and with that size, a security lock is quite imperative.
Thank you if you can answer this.

When I prepared to upgrade the RAM in my new Mini, the first thought that came to mind was "where's the Kensington security slot?" I proceeded to search every square inch of the computer for some kind of security measure and was stunned when I found nothing.
This, in combination with the increased starting price, is definitely not helpful with encouraging more Macs in kiosk situations. That said, less than $75 to secure the computer (presuming that's what the security device ends up selling for) isn't enough to be a deal breaker.
Despite the likeliness of a third-party solution, Apple should not have left off this important security feature. Even though the slot would not protect against RAM removal, it is still essential to preventing the loss of property.

New Macmini and older Cinema Display

I just bought a new Macmini for my wife and tried to connect it with her LED Cinema Display that has no Thunderbolt. Although the manual says you can plug in the Mini Displayport connector tot the Thunderbolt outlet on the Mini, I only get sount, but no image on the display. Familiat to anyoone?

Check your Displays system preferences. If the display is detected at all you will see an Arrangement tab. If not, there is something physically wrong. Make sure the mini-displayport plug is firmly seated. Click the Detect Displays button also to be sure.
If you do have an arrangment tab then click Gather Windows to get the Display's preferences on your main window. Then play with the resolution, and if there is a refresh rate, fiddle with it as well.

New MacMini Server

I've just taken delivery of a new MacMini Server - which has proved to be a trifle difficult in understanding. Firstl I have two drives - one is labeled Macintosh HD2 and the other Macintosh Server - although I cannot see it at the moment.
Starting up from new wasn't as straightforward as I thought and with a usb Mac Time-Capsule ready to load, it didn't exactly do what it should have.
I eventually got it to load from the Time Capsule onto Macintosh HD2 so all file former files from the MacBookPro have loded accordingly into the HD2 drive. So now I have the dock showing some of my applications except for the Macintosh HD logo that I am familiar with and resident on my desktop. The question is how can I get this HD icon to appear on the desktop?
I actually don't require the server aspect at the moment, but I might in due course.
Another puzzle is that in my User Folder, the next level shows many of my secondary folders but several of them, such as Dropbox, Music, My Images, pictures, Public etc have a red (no entry) circle and clicking on them says I don't have permissions to enter the folder.
I would welcome some input please as I fear that the setup hasn't gone exactly as I would have hoped.
Thank you

Thank you Dave. One assumes therefore that if I've installed all my programmes on the wrong drive, I should theoretically be able to move them over to the Server HD.
I really don't know about this and Apple don't give any specific instructions as to the contrary.
