New Mini 2010 tells "no cabel connected to ethernetport"

Hi Folks,
two days ago I bought a new Mini 2,4 HDMI (not Server!). I cloned my old 10.6.4 SL Server to that new Mini and tried to connect to my network. Nothing happend - prefs told me "no cable conneced to ethernet port". I checkt everything - cable workes fine on my old Mini. After that I than reinstalled from the original System DVD of the new mini to ckeck if ethernetport workes - and it did!!!!
So the mini hardware is working fine and is no DOA.
After recloning my SL Server - same again - "no cabel connected to ethernetport" - T triwed all kinds of reset: PMReset, PRReset a.s.o
can anyone help me - it makes not a lot of fun to work the server only eith Airport
Peter
P.S. I also tried all updates provided on the support page - Special Mini 2010 Update, Comboupdate a.s.o.
*please help me!!!*

I have the exact same problem. I cloned the OS disk of my previous mac mini (also with 10.6.4) and the ethernet cable shows as not connect. If I boot from the original Snow Leopard Server that came with the new mac mini, the ethernet cable shows as connected, and everything works. (I also have tried replugging / changing the ehternet cables)
If I compare the .kext from /System/Library/Extensions between the old and new mini, I see that some files are different. Maybe the old mini is missing the drivers needed to work with the new hardware ?
I tried copying kext files, and hosed the system in the process

  • I've updated the software on my brand new Apple TV and now I'm stuck on a screen that tells me to connect ATV to iTunes via a mini-USB chord. My PC is broken and I cannot connect the Apple TV to it. What should I do?

    I've already tried unplugging the power chord, and as soon as it turns back on I get back to the screen that tells me to connect to iTunes via USB.
    Do I really have to do it? The Apple TV was working great before I updated its software without me ever connecting to a computer or anything else.
    How can it ask me to connect to iTunes with a cable they don't even provide or tell you it's important to own?

    Take the ATV to a friends house and restore via iTunes on their computer.
    Take the ATV to an Apple store and restore via iTunes on a computer there.

  • Overscan missing from new Nvidia Drivers - Mac MIni 2010

    So I was able to install new Nvidia drivers on my Mac mini 2010, however, there are no overscan options.. and my tv is connected via HDMI. Is there any workaround for this?

    The final version of Appleworks 6 does in fact work on the Intel Mini under Leopard -- but Apple doesn't support it, nor ship it with the new Minis.
    A free office suite that is MS Office compatible is NeoOffice:

    a similar alternative is OpenOffice:

    There is no office suite that is directly compatible with Appleworks files, but if you install AppleWorks 6 on your Mini, you could export files in formats that other office programs can read.

    What version of iTunes is on the computer? You need at least 11.4.

  • HT1535 I just started my new mini IPad, and when I clicked the network, my connect to iTunes went off, now I can't move on or get that connect to iTunes back on the screen so that I keep going

    IT is so frustrating,because I cannot go further without being connected to iTunes..it's a brand new mini IPad, and I gave the network and then the iTunes thing to press to connect disappeared...HELP!

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

  • New (6.2010) Mini and Subwoofer

    I purchased the new Mini to be my media server and replace an aging laptop that was standing in. HDMI was supposed to be the key for me.
    Unfortunately, I can't get the Mini to pass sound to my subwoofer.
    My setup is a Sony DN1000 receiver driving JBL mains, center, and 2 surrounds, with a Martin Logan 700 as my sub.
    Any recommendations??? I've searched the forums, but nothing specific enough to this issue, although I did try a few things I read.
    I purchased the mini yesterday and watched Hulu on it last night, that was great. But tonight after trying to get the audio portion of it (the primary reason for its purchase) I am starting to doubt that it was worth the $$$.

    I don't think there's anything wrong with the Mac. I suspect that a setting is wrong somewhere (be it on the mac, or the receiver).
    You have the Mac connected directly to the reciver and not through a TV right?
    Did you check that your Sony receiver is set to DEC AUTO instead of DEC PCM?
    Have you tried different surround modes on the receiver, to see if it has an impact? For example, switching to Pro-Logic, DTS Neo, or even Stereo.
    When you use the audio/speaker test in the MIDI control panel/app, and you click on the sub button, do you hear anything from any of your speakers?
    Also, while the Mac is playing sound (that is devoid of sub sound), explore all the receiver settings/menus. The menu options will frequently be different, depending on the input signal being received. So do this exploring while the problematic source is playing. Especially check in the speaker settings, bass management and surround settings.
    Lastly, if none of this works out, try taking the Mac to the house of a friend/relative who has a digital surround receiver and see what happens there.

  • Connecting 3g nano from pc to new mini mac

    hi i would like to connect my nano to my new mini mac
    the nano has been snyced with a pc
    so when i connect it to the mac will i lose all the songs on it?
    please help

    If you plug in an iPod that auto syncs to another library, you will get a pop up telling you it is synced to another library and do you want to instead sync it to this library. "Yes" *WILL ERASE* everything on the iPod. "NO" will leave everything on the iPod alone but you won't be able to do anything with the iPod on that library.
    If you instead, change your iPod from Automatic update to Manual updating, then you can plug it into either computer and add stuff from either library to the iPod. Downside is that you have to do everything manually (adding to or removing from the iPod) and you won't get information transferred from the iPod back into the libraries like play count, ratings, etc.

  • HELP: Can't connect to the internet with new mini

    Hi
    I've just unpacked the new mini I bought today. I use a LAN that I set up myself. I use a Linksys Router 11Mb/s. All computers atached to it work fine, including an iBook G4 with Airport Extreme.
    The Mini does recognize my network via Airport, and the Airport card MAC adress is already in the authorize list, but still does not connect.
    Worse, I plug an Etherner Cable to the plug that works with a PC, but still no internet. I set up a manual IP adress instead of DHCP. Still no internet. I reinstalled the entire OS X, from start, still no internet.
    Any ideas, anyone ? Thanks !
    pd: This is frustrating, I just brought it from the store today

    Try turning your router/modem off. Now connect the ethernet cable to the mini and the router and restart the router/modem. If it works, update the system.
    When connecting airport, make sure you turn off the router/modem, and then take out the ethernet cable and then restart the router/modem and then power up your mac mini and set up airport.
    If the above does not work, RESET the modem/router to its default settings. Once trained, use a ethernet connected Mac to set it up (the Mini perhaps).
    I am suggesting this because I had to turn off my router to connect one of my Macs before I could surf the net. i also find resetting the router can sometimes iron out connection issues.

    Re: After installing Yosemite, safari doesn't work any more.in response to Koenfromdudzele
    I have found a temporary solution that works until reboot.
    Open a Terminal window and type:
    sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.discoveryd.plist
    -type password-
    then:
    sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.discoveryd.plist
    Dont know how to link him. But this worked fine. Guess it was missing this plist

  • New mini internet connection

    I'm a bit confused why my new mini won't connect to the internet...
    Network diagnostics has green lights for everything including ISP and then red for Internet and Server.
    I am using my old MacBook and hen etc on the same wifi though so know the connection to the router is good?
    If the new mini has made it to the ISP what else is stopping it?

    and then red for Internet and Server.
    Any router or modem I have ever seen that displayed a red light means there is an issue.
    Reset the router/modem by pressing the reset button then removing the power, waiting 5 minutes then powering back on
