Noticed that my MAC Mini is sending traffic to 70.38.54.77 on sequential UDP ports (port scanning?)

Hi,
I noticed in my home router logs that my MAC Mini "scans" UDP ports in the 33xxx range to an address 70.38.54.77 ... a quick search shows others complains but not result or explanation. I am looking to see if this is some piece of sw installed in my MAC or perhaps how to block traffic to/from that IP (or its subnet).
See below - .149 is my MAC mini IP address at home.

Is it normal that a Mac Mini 1.6duo play back of HD 60 frame home video is shuddery / jerky ? is this just processor limits ?

Is it normal that a Mac Mini 1.6duo play back of HD 60 frame home video is shuddery / jerky ? is this just processor limits ?
I have a pansonic 14meg camera which shoots HD 1060 30 frame and 720 60 frame .
I have been using the 720 6 frame . Playback using on my camera is perfect , but when I download on to my Intel 1.6duo macmini play back is jerky ... is this just processor limitation or if Mini should be fine to play back (using Quicktime7) could it be file corruption / camera issue.
I think it is just my old computer probably starting to struggle !
Many thanks

Couple of things:
There is virtually no standardisation of video formats. The file suffix is if little use to use as, in the case of video, files are just containers for data streams encoded and decoded by Codecs. Pretty much every manufacturer has their own codecs for each and every camera. Put it this way: every Jpeg still is pretty much the same, as there is an agreed standard for that format. There is no such guarantee with avi, mov etc. That's why the model and format of the camera is important.
This model was released in 2012, and you're trying to read data from this using a QuickTime 7, which predates that by a few years. Oddly, Snow Leopard came with QuickTime X, so I'm not sure what you've done there.
iPhoto does not guarantee to import all video from all cameras. What cameras it does support are usually still cameras with a video add on. What you have is a camcorder and the correct app for importing and manipulating video from such a device is iMovie rather than iPhoto. It may be able to transcode it.

My mac mini wont turn on but there is power to it as the usb port charges my iPad

My mac mini wont turn on but there is power to it as the usb port charges my iPad. My monitor uses a HDMI cable when the mac mini is off it says no input received which it does not say so it is receiving some signal from the mac mini. I have tried a different cable and a different monitor/ hdmi cable. The fan isnt running there is no start up noise but the little light on the front blinks every 4-5 seconds. Im booked in to see a GENIUS on sunday but I was wondering if there is anything I can do in the mean time. The mac mini is only 8 months old if that. Any ideas people? Oh the mac is also running mountain lion and has been since the day of release i've never had a problem up until this.

The following table lists the new tones and their meaning:
Tone(s)          Description
1 tone, a 5-second pause, repeat          No RAM installed
3 successive tones, a 5-second pause, 3 successive tones          RAM does not pass data integrity check
1 long tone when holding down the power button          Firmware upgrade in process. See About firmware updates for Intel-based Macs for more details.
3 long tones, 3 short tones, 3 long tones          Firmware restoration from CD in process. See About the Firmware Restoration CD (Intel-based Macs) for more details.

Can you count the beeps or flashes?
1 beep = no RAM installed
2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
3 beeps = no good banks
4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
5 beeps = processor is not usable
In addition to the beeps, on some computers the power LED will flash a corresponding number of times plus one. The LED will repeat the sequence after approximately a 5-second pause. The tones are only played once.
Note: In this case, a flash is considered to be 1/4 second or 250 ms or greater in length.

Yosemite causes Mac Mini to send sound to wrong System Setting choice

I have a Late 2012 Mac Mini that I run/upgrade with every OS that comes along. Until Yosemite, everything was fine.
After upgrading to Yosemite, the system Sounds (like a boing when a file is copied or moved, or the flyaway sound when a mail gets sent, etc) always come out of the (lame-o) speaker on my HDMI monitor, whereas the other sounds, like youtube videos, the volume up/down click sound, etc, all come from the choice in my systems settings: headphones.
I have tried changing the setting and power off/power on, and even a restart. But nothing seems to make the system sounds come out the headphone jack of my mac mini. Believe me, this has always worked. In fact, I didn't even know I had a speaker on my monitor until Yosemite made it speak!
I tried using apple support chat, but they kept telling me to check the connections, as if my audio wasn't working. It IS working, but it seems that some OS thingys are disobeying the System Setting of 'headphones' and still (always) sending the sounds out the crappy speaker in my monitor.
Has anybody else noticed this?

I found it!!!
Alert sounds (the ones that always go out my HDMI display's (crappy) speaker) are controlled through the Sound Effects pane of the Sound System Preferences window:
System Preferences -> Sound -> Sound Effects -> "Sound effects through:"
In my case, I have two destination choices for these sound effects: Headphones, and HH281 (my HDMI capable monitor, which is my main/only display).
IF I choose HH281 here, then it doesn't matter if I have System Preferences -> Notifications -> Mail -> Play sound for notifications turned OFF. The sounds still come out my HDMI display's speaker.
IF I choose Headphones in System Preferences -> Sound -> Sound Effects -> "Sound effects through:", then the sounds come out the headphones ONLY IF System Preferences -> Notifications -> Mail -> Play sound for notifications is turned ON.
So, it appears that alert sound effects have their own setting for how/where they get played. Perhaps this wasn't the case in prior to Yosemite, or perhaps these choices were available in Mavericks, and Yosemite changed the default setting on me. I dunno. But I believe I have it working the way I am accustomed to it working.

Can anybody 100% confirm that a Mac Mini outputs "bit perfect"?

Hi,
I'm maybe buying a Mac Mini.
Will it output bit perfect from optical or usb?
Can you confirm this for certain?
I'll be coming from Windows, where outputting bit perfect requires a lot of messing around!

What if I suspect that my Mac mini is infected?

I did some work uploading files to my club's website last night. Today all **** breaks loose with a re-direct to one of my lunus box websites and that website has been labeled dangerous by Google.
SO, this computer must have malware on it. What do it do now?

A couple of other notes I thought of.
Your profile says you are still running OS X 10.7.3, so I'm hoping it's wrong and that it's fully up-to-date in order to protect you against the latest security threats.
Also, if you happen to be running Lion Server OS on your Mini, it will conflict with ClamXav as both use the same ClamAV scan engine. I'm not an expert at making them work together, but if you come to the ClamXav Forum, I'll see if I can walk you through it.
I don't currently recommend Avast! as it's one of a half-dozen or so formerly WIndows only A-V vendors that rushed to the Mac scene last Spring. I think they need time to prove they fully understand OS X and receive some media reviews before I would use it. There are several other choices that have been with OS X for years. Sophos is often recommended here as an alternative.

I just upgraded to get a notice that my mac os is not supported. How do I go back to my old firefox?

I will never upgrade again. I downloaded a newer version of fetch and that is when my trouble started. It is was not compatible with my firefox and told me I had to upgrade firefox. So I did. Now I got a message saying Firefox no no longer supports system MAC OS X.5. I am running Mac X.5.8, but do not remember what version of firefox I was running that worked fine, by the way. How do I get back to the highest version of firefox that is compatible with mac os system 10.5.8?

Firefox 16 versions still work with your OS X 10.5 operating system, but that is the last version that will work.<br />
Firefox 17 will require OS X 10.6 and later.<br />
You can see the Firefox 17 (currently in beta) system requirements here:

IPad synced to toshiba notebook and now i want to change that to mac mini

any help appreciated
ta very much

I have never done this but follow this link:

In particular, look at the media backup link in this article because it says you can transfer applications also.

Mac Mini Slow playing DVD from Network

Hi,
I was just wondering is anyone else has experienced slow dvd play with their mac mini's.
Playing from the SuperDrive (dvd player) or Firewire DVD player is NOT a problem. however I have a couple of backed up DVD on a LACIE network drive using CIFS or AFP(Gigabit although my mini is 100FD) and on a Linux server (NFS mount)and the DVD's will not play smoothly.
They are very choppy and unwatchable. I have also tried using VLC but that is even worse.
I 1gb Ram in my mini, I also had this problem under os X 10.4 as well as 10.5. I know that apple say that an intel processor 1.6 is needed for interlacing, but just playing should be fine.
My Suse Linux IBM T42 which is old has no problems playing the movies, but I want to play them on a 23inch Monitor. (the problem also occurs on my 19inch Monitor)
CPU wise. it never gets to 100% but when it goes over 70% the problem seems to occur.
I have tried to shut down all possible applications and disabled spotlight. this improved the playing experience a little.
Any thoughts on this would be great.
Thanks
Pete

HI,
The local disk is about 40% full, I upgraded it to a 160GB drive. (plus leopard was therefore a complete fresh install on a new drive)
If I play the files from the local drive then there is no problem. I also noticed that if I use a local USB to play the movies then this works. But when you only have 2 x usb ports on a mac mini, and the fact I don't want my mini to have control over the disks (so the mini can be turned off etc) as my house mate also has a mac and would like to stream music and I like to have access from my Linux Laptop.
I also noticed that the Mac Mini was very slow at accessing my NFS mount.
I have also done the normal network tests such as forcing Full Duplex 100mb or allowing Auto etc. (also my house mate has the same problem using Mac book pro with a wireless connection) The switch is not busy at all, and until two days ago the only two devices turned on were the Mac mini and the lacie drive
It is very frustrating, I want to upgrade to an iMac next month, but would have like to keep the mini as a media player. I like front row and dvd player they rock as applications. (except for the current issues I am having)
My switch is definitely up to the task. I got a netgear. When my laptop and server (old P4 PC running Linux) are plugged in they are fine with streaming and copying files.
I do notice that the Samba protocol on apple seems quite an 'expensive' over head with resources, but it still seems to work better than AFP. (from my Lacie drive)
I have a suspicion that the problem is a mixture of DVDplayer that was not designed to play dvd's from the network and maybe the protocol stack on OS X? I guess the next stage is to sniff the network and see if packets are getting dropped.
Thanks for any pointers so far.

Mac Mini won't boot, repeating startup chime

This afternoon I noticed that my Mac Mini (1.5 GHz Intel Core Solo) was acting sluggish. I opened up activity monitor and saw that the process 0 (kernel_task ?) was using about 50% of the CPU. Assuming that it was in the middle of something, I left it alone for another 10 minutes. Still 50% red in the CPU Usage graph in Activity Monitor. I then turned the computer off. When I turn it back on, I get a gray screen, one normal startup chime, followed by somewhat quieter startup chimes about 1 -2 seconds apart. I've tried resetting the PMU, starting up with no USB connections, safe mode, by CD, etc. I don't think the keyboard is even recognized. I know that works, because I tested it on my laptop.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

OK, well it would not make any difference that the install disk was already inserted - as long as the Option key was being held down at the right moment, the system would go into the boot loader screen even if there were no bootable volumes.
Make sure the Option key is down immediately you hear the first chime. If you've been doing that, it would be an indication of a more serious fault.
Try an SMC reset to make sure the system hasn't just corrupted the management controller, then try again.
An SMC reset can be accomplished as follows:
-From the Apple menu, choose Shut Down (or if the computer is not responding, hold the power button until it turns off).
-Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord and any display cables.
-Wait at least 15 seconds.
-Plug the power cord back in, making sure the power button is not being pressed at the time.
-Then reconnect your keyboard and mouse to the computer.
-Press the power button on the back to start up your computer.
If that doesn't work, there's a hardware fault. In which case the nature and pattern of sounds you hear after the initial chime may be the clue, since these may be the system giving an audible report from the power-on self test. Are these regularly repeating beeps? rather than chimes? If so, you should hear a pattern of 1, 2 3 or 4 of them followed by a second pause, then repeating.

Mac mini server - Can't access Internet

Hello. Using a Mac mini server as the media server for my house. Not really using any of the Snow Leopard Server services though. Wanted the larger hard drive and didn't need an optical drive so this was perfect for me. At any rate, recently noticed that the Mac mini can't access the Internet. It talks to the other Macs and Apple TVs in the house fine but it can't load a web page. I looked at the preferences and everything and can't see anything wrong. Plus, all my other computers get on the web fine. Any ideas? Is there a specific setting I should check? Thanks in advance.

Can you describe your LAN and how it connects to the internet, as well as how the device that acts as your router is configured to interact with the computers on your LAN and how the individual computers are configured to connect to the routing device?

My Mac Mini Turns on by itself or is it The Ghost In The Machine?

Lately I have been noticing that my Mac Mini is turning itself on after being off for several hours. At first I thought it might be another member of my household, but when I questioned they all about they all state they did not turn it on. Now unless I have ghost in my house that are big Mac fans I can't figure out why or how it can be turning itself on. As far as I know there have been no power outages in my area that might have caused it to think it needs to be turned on when the power came back in, and besides why would it need to restart after a power outage if it was already off when the power went out and came back on.

Check your Energy Saver settings in System Preferences. Under Schedule there may be a startup time someone set, which is causing it to start up at the odd time of the day.

What is the difference between Aplle Tv and Mac mini???

I'm considering purchasing the Apple Tv but have noticed that the Mac mini is very similar! Can anyone tell me what the major differences are and which is better?

I've been contemplating a switch from ATV to the Macbook which would equate somewhat to the mini but after three days have decided that the one huge advantage ATV has is the 5.1 channel out put for audio.
The mini nor any other Mac is going to deliver that feature. I even tried with my Mac Pro. I did not want to add another piece of hardware such as the Firewave. By gosh if the little ATV computer can do it why shouldn't all Macs.
Lastly using Front Row is cool on the Macbook and the video looks very good, as good as the ATV but I had my Hi Def mp4 encoded to 720p and did not want to try out 1080 because of the length of time to try that experiment. Anyway I much prefer Front Row on the ATV, at least I have my own personal inputs(text) shown on ATV but not on the Macbook when using FR.
Hope this clears things up and I do agree with all the posts on this topic.

My Mac Mini log-off/sleep fails

I have a Mid 2011 Mac Mini, 2.7, Intel Core Duo i7,model 5,2. My usual habit is to log-off for the day, then select sleep. This has worked just fine for the past 15 months. ( I purchased it in Feb 2012.)
A couple of weeks ago, when I sat down and hit the space bar to log-in, it instead showed my desktop. ?? It made me think 'someone" has control of my computer & is doing me some harm. This happened again several days later. So I decided to shut down daily.
After a while, I decided to try log-off/sleep again. But this time, my screen stayed black, and I noticed that my mac mini's on-light no longer pulsed. So I hit the start button. Nothing happened. So I turned off the power strip & when I turned it back on, the familiar chime came on and up came my desktop. Otherwise everything seems to be working well. I tested log-off/sleep again today, and, sure enough, after about 2-1/2 hours it did it again. I'm doing daily backups now just in case.
This really bothers me. Can anyone tell me what's going on? Should I contact tech support (I'm still covered by AppleCare).???

Hi Sharon, could be many things...
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed. Or an errant process eating up RAM.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
