Problem Logging Onto Mac Mini

When I turned on my computer, instead of the three accounts showing up on the first splash screen there was a prompt for the name of an account and the password. When I entered the account names and passwords (I tried all three accounts that I have on my mac mini), it said that the passwords do not match the account name (I know that the passwords are correct). Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you.

Try to boot from the install disk and then check the user names on the Reset Password Utility. If you want you can go ahead an reset the password as well just to be certain.

It maybe trying to boot from the incomplete install.
Try starting your Mac while holding down the Option key, it should then list all the available boot drives including the Mac OS X one. Boot from the Mac one and then you can wipe the damaged PC one or set the Mac to stay booting in to OS X.

Problems logging onto the Cloud wifi

I have the Cloud wifi set up on my iphone and ipad and they've worked fine for a year or so. In the last couple of months I haven't been able to access the internet through it though. It loads up the signing in page and after entering my username and password it takes me to the welcome page showing my devices as normal. However, whenever I try and navigate away from that it just takes me back to the signing in page. Any help?

My problems logging onto the Sky Cloud wifi still remain. I have tried amending my user name and deleting and reinstalling the app, all to no avail. To try to clarify what happens once more: 1) I am in a Wi-Fi Hotspot (yesterday, for example I was in Pret-a-Manger in Brighton). 2) My iPhone 4S picks up the wi-fi availability 3) I use the iPhone Safari web-browser to log onto Google (it also works if I use Yahoo) 4) I am re-directed to the relevant Cloud log-on options. So far so good. 5) I select the Cloud "Get on Line" option and am eventually redirected to the Sky Cloud Wi-Fi page, which confirms I am logged on, confirms my name and confirms my iPhone device. Again, all good so far. 6). Now the problems start. I go back into Google (or any other website) and am then redirected back to the Cloud log-on options again (see point 4 above). 7) I select CLoud "Get on Line" option and am redirected to the Sky Cloud Wi-Fi page again which still confirms I am logged on (see point 5 above). 8) This loop then continues forever until I give up. In short, I am obviously logged on but for some reason cannot get beyond that stage. On some occasions I am given the option to download the Sky Wifi app, which is a bit pointless because (a) I already have this on my iPhone, and (b) since I am not properly connected anyway, I cannot connect to the iTunes Store in any case (an error message tells me this)!! I have tried logging on both through the method as describeed above, and also by skipping Point 3 and instead clicking directly onto the Sky Wifi app, but all that does is take me to Point 4 and then the problems continue. Please help. I never had this issue before Sky took over the Cloud and I am becoming increasing frustrated. Thank You.

Problem logging onto Mail Server

I have iDS, iMS, iWS & iDA installed on my machine,
Also created few users through iDS & iMS - Users & Groups Tab. but when i tried to configure any of the new user with Microsoft Outlook Express giving me an error "Problem logging onto Mail Server, UserName or Password was rejected, Server Response: ERR Authentication failed, accout : UserID, POP3 Server : host ip.
But with the same configuration/setting for Default UserID ie ServiceAdmin it works properly..
Is there any different way for creating a new users for iMS.
I'll appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks
Sunil.

The Users&Groups tab in Console will not work to create users/groups. The Console does not know how to fully create such.
That's why iPlanet Delegated Admin was shipped with iMS 5.2. Please install that, and use it to create users.
If you cannot use iDA for some reason, please refer to the Provisioning Guide for what attributes and such are needed:

Can't log new user onto Mac Mini Server

I can't log a new user into Mac Mini server. Have added the user to the Workgroup Manager, and am now trying to use the password created there for log-in on user computer. Any advice?

Do you have Server Access Control Lists (SACLs) configured? If so, you will need to add this new user to the appropriate SACLs before it can connect. As an example, when I create new users, I need to add them to the File Sharing SACL or they never see any available shares on the server.

Usb audio drop-out and problems on 2010 Mac Mini

Hello! I recently purchased an Apogee Symphony USB audio interface for my Mac mini. I have been trying for over a month to get it fully functional without having any dropouts. The interface runs fine for about 15-20 minutes before I hear static (using my DAW, using iTunes, streaming movies on Netflix, etc). Sometimes the DAW (reaper to be specific) can't play back because the computer lost the connection to the USB Audio interface. I know this because I launch Audio Midi setup and it does not recognize the Apogee Symphony interface. I restart the interface and it works fine. There is intermittent loss at times, inconsistent latency, etc. I have worked with Apogee support and we've tried everything - newest drivers, firmware update, etc. I used to run Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and had the same issues; I upgraded to 10.7.5 but had major kernel panics due to the display (or something, couldn't quite figure it out) but I reverted to 10.7.4 and everything runs smoothly... except the audio interface.
This led me to doing some research online and I think the problem is with USB audio dropouts. I've tried disabling Bluetooth, Airport, not putting my HD to sleep, etc and still has the same issues. I've tried two different USB ports: the one closest to the display and the the one next-to-last.
My question is: what causes the USB audio dropouts and is there a fix for it??

This happened a bunch of times; I only copied the main gist of the error message:

Scrolling problems on new mac mini

I bought a new mac mini yesterday. Out of the box, it was ready for an update to 10.7.2, which I did. The problem is with scrolling on certain web pages, even when browsing Apple's site, the scroll bar lags or will not move at all. A perfect example would be http://news.google.com/ even after a page has fully loaded, the scroll bar does not respond. After long delay, it might jump to a different scroll position, but definitely NOT smooth scrolling.
I ran disk utility and repaired permissions. I have restarted mac mini.
This is not the case running os 10.7.2 with my 2007 imac.
Any suggestions?

Very interesting....
I restored the entire os lion, no help. Firefox works just fine. Safari is broken, when using screen sharing. I can scroll pages with the mac mini using it's own mouse and display, however, the mini's mouse becomes de-activated when screen sharing is enabled onto it. The mouse controlling the imac cannot scroll safari's browser, nor can it refresh pages when doing such things as 'submit reply'. Lol, I had to reply using Firefox. I do believe it is essentially a refresh issue, during user activity within each page. If you click a scroll postion, and then click outside of the page, it will refresh to the new scroll position. This is the same case as for submitting a reply.
Outside of that, I am disappointed that both the imac's mouse and the mini mac's mouse cannot be used simultaneously during screen sharing with the newest update. Whereas, I can have simultaneous mouse control when accessing a non-lion macbook pro from my lion imac.
I do not see any reason to disallow simultaneous mouse use. This works great for comunnicating to users in other rooms, with direct desktop support.
Actually, I have found that there is still mouse control, it is just not visible on the vnc user's screen. I wish there was a way to re-activate that, it would probably resolve the scrolling issues too. Any know what to replace in what library?

Clone Mac Book hard drive onto Mac Mini

Hi All,
I own a 2009 MacBook Pro and have very recently bought a Mac Mini.
I would like to clone the MacBook Pro's hard drive onto the Mac Mini, so that, when switching it on, the Mini is an exact replicate of the MacBook Pro, including all content, software and other bits.
I own an external hard drive that is large enough to contain all of the MacBook Pro's data.
Could someone help me in describing the detailed procedure for me to clone the drive as desired?
Thank you.

Unfortunately, this will not work as you won't be able to boot the Mini because Macs cannot boot from an OS version older than what they came with (I assume the Mini is running Mountain Lion or mavericks?). You can, however, transfer your files, etc.
FWIW, please update your profile: you are not running iOS on the Mini as iOS is for iDevices, not computers.

Airport Express problems with new MAC MINI and DLINK router SOLVED

Hi just thought I would post this as it may well help others experiencing similar frustrations with new core duo mac mini and wireless connection or quality problems across the network / internet etc
I have a 3 week old, new mac mini core duo 1.8ghz 2gig ram, 120gb disk - First Mac, connecting to my exisiting wireless network via DLINK ADSL Router 2MB Broadband also one windows laptop and pc also wireless on the network and two airport express potins to stream itunes to
Problem was briefly
Mac worked fine, but the network connection just far too slow, laptop and pc, 1800+ kbps downstream mac mini 90 - 150kbps (http://www.adslguide.org/tools/speedtest.asp)
also if i ping the router directly from terminal (ping -c 20 192.168.1.1) average response 12+ ms with 20% packet loss, yet laptop and pc avg 2ms no losses
Spent 2 evenings on frustrating calls of more than 1 hour each (due to being cut off , then ring back and closed etc etc) and carrying out a the helpdesk troubleshooting (I am an IT consultant I think I am above this level), eventually an archive and install of the os as well
last night I call for the third time, insisting I dont wish to carry out any further troubleshooting, and want it replaced and resolved or my money back
I receive a call back from product specialist (not sure if thats mac mini specialist or airport) but we resolved the issue (his knowledge far superior to the help desk do this do this attitude)
between us we carried out the folowing and resolved the problem and I am now very happy
mac now downstreaming also in excess of 1800kbps (as expected for 2mb broadband)and no packet loss
This problem was resolved by switching off the turbo option hidden away in the routers settings, under wireless configuration
Supposed to improve performance, but its rubbish and will make hardly any difference under mac os to the speed but will certainly affect your mac mini performance(you may have a similar setting switched on in your routers and mac os dont like it)
We stumbled across this by first disconnecting one of the airport express devices from my dlink network, and using it on its own default apple wireless settings, effectively making it a standalone wireless network, and not via the dlink router
we then carried out the same ping with the ip address of this device (from airport admin utility default 10.0.1.1) and the results were fantastic 2ms avg no package loss
this established it was something with the router, and how we then interrogated the routers settings and found the turbo on option within wireless configuration
you may not be able to replicate this if you dont have an additional network you could join (such as airport express), but probably worth checking your own router settings for something similar
Hope that may be of assistance to others, sorry that its a bit long winded and garbled, but I'm just so excited to finally get my new mac working as i would expect it to
Also perhaps insist on speaking to a product specialist immediately that the helpdesk are unable to help you

Hello macfar14. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
For just streaming iTunes and/or for sharing a USB printer, the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) just needs to be configured as a wireless client ... which you already attempted to do.
Just to be sure nothing was missed, here are the basic steps to do this:
Either connect to the AX's wireless network or connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then using the AirPort Utility in "Manual Setup" mode, make the following changes:
AirPort > Wireless
o Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
o Network Name: <existing wireless network's Network Name or SSID>
o Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
o Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
o Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
Music
o Enable AirTunes (checked)
o iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
o iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
o Verify Password: (optional)
o Click Update to write the new settings to the AX
In iTunes:
iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
o Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

Is 7200 RPM HDD a problem for the MAc Mini?

I need to replace my Mac-mini HDD. I purchased a Travelstar 500Gb Drive.
It is 7200 RPM.
Will I have any problems? I understand most mac mini 2.26Ghz HDDs are 5200 RPMs.

I put one of those into my 2010 Mac Mini almost a year ago and it kicks butt on the 5400 RPM HDD.

Annoying video/DVD playback problems on new Mac mini (2010)

I have a Mac mini at home right now, latest edition (2010).
I am very surprised to find that DVD playback exhibits signs of stutters here and there. Not huge stutters, but I can constantly see small "skips" and what seems like frame drops here and there. Playing back the same DVD on a $120 Blu-ray-player shows no sign of this behaviour.
I have tried this on two different TV sets (one 720p and one 1080p), and the mini is not able to play back a DVD without these stutters/skips. Two different blu-ray players play the disc just fine (I have been using Ghost Dog to test - check chapter to and the scenes containing panning, it's easier to notice that way).
It seems ordinary video files playback (files from HD, 720p, mkv) exhibit some of the same behaviour, though this seems more dependent on which app is used for playback. Quicktime seems worse (noticeable stutters/skips), VLC 1.1 a bit better (though both DVD playback and file playback show signs of stutter), while XBMC is the best of the three, with very little frame drop (if that is in fact what it is).
Any idea what's going on here? Why will such a expensive machine with HDMI output not play back video properly, while a cheap Blu-ray-player does it just fine?
Are there any known issues?
(sorry for posting this in the wrong from earlier!)

I have not used the dvd player app in my 2010 mini, but I've certainly played every media type under the sun since receiving it.
It plays them all without dropping frames, stuttering, pausing, etc.
Are you using dvd player with dvd disc images, video ts folders, or actual DVD discs in the drive?
If you're playing a disc image or video ts folder, are you accessing them over wireless networking? If so, try them on the internal drive, or over a wired network connection.
Try turning off the option is in energy saver that allows drive sleep (system sleep can stay where it is, just turn off *hard drive* sleep).
For best performance, make sure you aren't running other apps besides the media player app that you're using at the time.
Make sure you don't have software or utilities running background tasks (such as disk warrior, drive genius or tech tool pro).
If you have external devices connected (including printer and/or scanner), try the system without them connected. Does the video playback improve without them connected? If it does, then try reconnecting them one by one to figure out which one of them is related to the problem.

Load Office 2001 onto Mac Mini

Dear Group,
I just bought a Mac Mini but I can't seem to load Office 2001 onto the computer.
When I insert the installation disks the icons to install are "X"ed out on the CD. The was a trail version of the software on the computer but I already have the software. I tried to delete the trail version from the hard drive and then install the software but it still does not work.
Any suggestion on loading the software???
Thanks,
Alberto.

Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Because Mac OS X on a G3 can run a mode called Classic, which brings up Mac OS 9 to be able to run Office 2001. In addition, you could have switched to Mac OS 9 booting on a G3 as well to run Office 2001.
Here's my FAQ on the differences:
