Second Half 2006 Mini Problem

I have a new Mac Mini Dual Core 1.66 that I’m having a very strange wireless connection problem with. I have the Mini connected to a Linksys 54g along with my iBook G4. Everyday between 6:00am and 6:15am my Mini losses its wireless network connection, the iBook doesn’t seem too. If I go to the wireless toolbar my router is their, and I reselect it, it becomes active and works great until the next morning. I can also put the mini to sleep or shut it off and then turn it back on and it always reactivates the wireless network. I have already increased my beacon interval to 50, and checked all the setting I can think of. I am also running WEP encryption on the router. Any ideas? Thanks

I don't have a solution for you, but I have read in both the MacBook and iMac forums that I post in that many users have had issues with Linksys routers and dropped connections or very weak connections. As far as I know, there is not a posted solution.
As I understand it, Linksys updates the firmware and even the OS of their routers without making any notation on the box, so it is impossible to tell if the router will work before you actually buy it.
It is for this reason that I recommend that people who own Intel-based Macs avoid Linksys until this is resolved.
I have a MacBook and use a Netgear WGR614 at home and connect to a D-Link DI-524 and a Belkin F5D7230-4 at two of my friends houses without any problems at all.

  • Early 2006 Mini Fan/LED Problems

    Just posting here in case anyone is having the same problem.
    I was having problems with my early 2006 Mini (Core Solo). In order to boot the machine, I would have to reset the PMU, but then the fan would run at full speed the entire time the computer was powered on, including boot time and shutdown. In addition, the status LED would not work. I tried resetting the SMU, but I would subsuquently have to reset the PMU again to get the machine to boot and the problem would still be there.
    The solution turned out to be very simple. I was using the wrong power supply. I had a 85 watt supply from the G4 minis. The supply designed for the intel minis is the 110 watt one. Once I plugged in the 110 watt supply, the machine powered right up without complaint.

    Edit:
    Run the Apple Hardware Test to see if the fan is working properly.

  • The hard driven on my new macbook pro is divided into two sections and I don't know how to access the second half.

    Under "about this mac" and "system report" my hard drive is described as 750gb with 4 sub categories 1-Macintosh HD 2-recovery hd 3-untitled 4-recovery hd.  I have almost filled the macintosh hd and am getting low memory warnings.  How do I access the second half of my hard drive?
    Thanks,
    Nate

    I think I figured it out.  Of course as soon as I post something I figure it out.  Anyway, I went into disk utility and could see "untitled" but it was greyed out and not accessible.  I then clicked the "mount" button and now the disk is available in finder.  I'm not sure how it got unmounted but I am able to write to it and access it so I guess the problem is solved.

    I have Mac mini and Macbook Pro 13". Bouth with HD3000. And I can't work at all. With Snow Lepard I had no problems. It's tiny problem in code. And such pain for lots of users!

  • DVI Splitter on 2006 Mini

    I have a splitter on my 2006 mini.  It's a DVI to DVI/VGA. Can't get the TV(VGA) to get a signal if the monitor(DVI) is connected.  Unhook the DVI monitor and the TV picks it up.  I want to have both the TV and monitor hooked up at the same time.  I'd also like to get my TV(which doesn't have a DVI connection) beyond a 800x600 resolution.  Is there a way to do that with the VGA or am I stuck with that?  Also, can I get it to fill more of the screen or am I stuck with the small screen it fills?

    These splitters do not let you use both connections at the same time.
    If I remember correctly that model of Mac mini has just a single DVI connection on the back and would have come with a DVI to VGA adaptor in the box. Obviously there is no way to fit a second video card, but it is possible to use a USB to VGA adaptor which would let you connect both displays at the same time. See http://www.displaylink.com/shop/adapters/
    If your monitor also has a VGA port then you could get a VGA switchbox (not a KVM) to switch the output between the monitor and the TV. See http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=101&cp_id=10106&cs_id=1010601 &p_id=54&seq=1&format=2
    A newer Mac mini would have two built-in video interfaces, the current model has a HDMI (which can connect via the included adaptor to a DVI monitor) and a Thunderbolt interface which can connecto to a VGA display using a additional Mini Displayport to VGA adaptor.

  • IPod mini problems with iTunes 7

    Hey all.
    I wanted to share my experiences with everyone to see if anyone has been experiencing similar difficulties.
    I own a second-generation ipod mini. It is a little over a year old and was given to me as a gift. It has worked great as a hard drive, and I am a music education student so I use my iPod several times a day. Just a few days ago I installed iTunes 7 on my computer. I plugged in my iPod and it hasn't worked since. I have visited several forums and it seems lots of other iPod owners are experiencing difficulties with the new iTunes download and their iPods. I tried re-setting the ipod, re-storing it, I have called several places in town for support and have also called a 1-800 mac support line. The support line was not helpful at all since I am not under warrenty anymore, and I was told that I could pay 30 dollars for troubleshooting. Of course, there's no guarantee that will fix the problem, and let's be honest, I'm a college student. Money is hard to come by.
    I have tried uninstalling iTunes, re-installing an older version, I have used the iPod installation software that came with the purchase, I have asked the person who bought me the ipod, a die-hard mac fan and computer science major and he has worked for several hours to fix the solution. No one seems to be owning up to the problem or admitting the cause.
    My iPod has crashed because of apple's iTunes software and it has been extremely disappointing trying to get it replaced or even trying to talk to someone without being charged. I think since the device is less than two years old and cost quite a bit of money, and iTunes is what broke it, I don't think I should have to pay 189 dollars for out-of-warrenty service that doesn't guarantee it fixed.
    This is extremely disappointing. For years I have heard what great reliable products apple produces. I was planning my next major computer purchase to be a mac book but now I am seriously reconsidering since no one seems to want to help. My faith in apple is diminishing, and I think I may not be the only one.

    one more time,
    ok, so we know what you have done to try to resolve the issue, but we do not know what the issue is. "My iPod has crashed because of apple's iTunes software" tells us absolutely nothing about your problem.
    So... try again.
    What is the problem that you would like assistance with?
    My point is that I do not see how installing new iTunes software could be a direct cause of iPod Hardware failure, so if you give more information about the problem you are experiencing, someone here may be able to help you find a solution.

  • 2006 mini getting hot??

    I have late 2006 mini baught in march 2007.  Seems getting a little hot.  Fan is a little louder all of a sudden.  Or maybe I'm imagining it.  But does feel a little hot.  Maybe I need to move it from under my monitor stand so it can breathe but it has been there since 2007 without any problems.  It is core duo not 2 duo.  2gb of ram I added at the store when I got it.  They installed it. 
    Anyhow I installed temperature monitor widget and it says "CPU A Temperature Diod 62 degrees celsius" and "CPU A Heat Sink 53 degrees celsius".  Also I installed "fan control 1.2" as written on another even though for macbook pro works on mini well.  But it says left fan 3850 rpm and right fan -1 rpm.  Is that because mac mini has only 1 fan. 
    Anyhow is 60 degrees about normal??  Or even idle (or even just replying here and only 1 tab open) 50 - 60 is too much??  Any opinions appreciated.

    Edit:
    Run the Apple Hardware Test to see if the fan is working properly.

  • For some reason when I play my Imovie the second half of the movie's sound just stops working and I can't hear anything.  It was working before but now it isn't and I don't know what to do.

    When I was putting together an Imovie I put music in the background and it played fine in the beginning but now when I watch it the first half of the movie plays music while the second half is silent even though I put music there as i did with the first half.  So basically...the music in the second half of my movie is not playing like it used to.

    GUYS THIS IS URGENTLY URGENT PLEASE!! if it helps, maybe being the stupid person I am, I might have accidently muted it so maybe if you guys could just tell me how to unmute, or see what is muted that would be REALLY helpful.  Thanks
    By the way I know you just read this and you're probably wondering why I am replying to myself....BUT THAT IS JUST HOW IMPORTANT THIS QUESTION IS.  PLEASE HELP ME.

  • Numbers missing from second half of printed document

    Here is a mystery for you. I have converted my rather large help project to a very large Word document and then PDF. The interesting behavior I am seeing is that about halfway through the document the numbers and bullets have disappeared. We have put the numbers and bullets in the same throughout the project but in the second half of the document they are missing. They are in place in the first half of the document.
    The project has been around since RoboHelp X.5 and is now in RoboHelp 8. The projects are intermixed with what release they were created in. The document is 2334 pages long and I lose numbering and bullets after page 1133.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Nita

    Thank you Leon and Peter for your timely answers. The numbering and bullets do work when I break the document into smaller documents (it took three). The difficulty I am now facing is that if I try to combine those documents after generation, the numbers stop working again. The document has a TOC on the front so I wanted to combine them within Word to get the TOC accurate by updating - curses.
    The only solution I've come up with so far, which is kind of awkward is:
    Have RoboHelp generate the entire document in order to get the TOC
    Generate the next two documents wiht just the smaller sections.
    Delete the extra two sections from the first document.
    PDF all three and combine.
    This will break links that are between sections of the document and runs the risk of not the TOC not being accurate.
    Can you think of a better way?
    Thanks,
    Nita

  • The volume on the second half of my Quicktime slideshow fades out--and I don't want it to do that!

    I used FotoMagico 4.0 to make a slideshow. There are options for exporting, and I chose the one called Custom, which makes a Quicktime movie. For some reason the volume in the second half of the show starts to fade out, and by the end I can barely hear anything. If I export to their Standalone Player, which allows the slideshow to play on a Mac computer, everything works just fine. I'm at my wits end trying to figure out how to fix this. I want to be able to export the slideshow to Vimeo so that people on Macs and Pc's can both watch it, but I can't do it with the volume the way it is.

    Go to System Preferences. Then under the General tab, there is a tick box saying "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps." Un tick that box. Once you start and quit Safari again, it will go back to your home page.

  • Walking Dead Season 4 second half now missing

    Hi,
    Earlier I had downloaded Season 4 episode 9 (the first episode of the second half) and watched it without issue.  The following week I tried to download episode 10 but ran into Duplicate Transaction issues and eventually submitted refund application online on Feb 18 since I was charged for it.  2 days later both episode 9 and 10 are missing from BB World.  If there are un resolvable issues with downloading the second half episodes will I get a refund for episode 10 which I was not able to watch?  If this is resolvable is there any timeline available?
    Cheers,
    Eric

    Ok, so today I see that the second half is back on BlackBerry world (Episode 9 and 10) but every time I try to download episode 10 I get the Duplicate Transaction message.
    How do I get the file to download (I have already cleared the cache and tried changing storage from memory card to device and back)?
    Cheers,
    Eric

  • I bought a second hand ipad mini without a simm chip. Can I buy one at the Verizon store and get a pre-paid plan?

    I bought a second hand ipad mini without a simm chip. Can I buy one at the Verizon store and get a pre-paid plan?

    IPad mini unless branded for Verizon use will not be accepted for prepaid use. Apple will tell you that the mini is compatable with all carriers, you simply walk into the carrier of choice and ask for a nano Sim.
    You pop it in, you turn on cellular if not already on and follow the screen prompts to get you up and running. Its quite easy.
    I found my wife's mini only functions on Sprint, T-Mobile and AT&T who I set up service with.
    Verizon blocks the activation due to the emeid of the device. Apple says it is fully operable on Verizon but they don't let you activate unless its purchased from them or from Apple to use on their system.
    Good Luck

  • How to Reset Second Hand Mac Mini?

    I'm about to purchase a second hand mac mini from ebay. It's the MD387LL/A model. I've verified that it is still under the one year warranty.
    How do I reset the mac mini so that:
    I get a factory fresh install so it's like new
    The one year warranty will be in my name/appleID
    I can purchase an AppleCare extended warranty and apply it to this unit that I'm purchasing.
    Any advice? Am I going to need the previous owner to do anything to it? Or can I do this on my own without their help?
    Thanks!

    1. To get factory fresh boot into recovery partition and reinstall the OS. See:
    OS X: About OS X Recovery
    2, Yes if the person delete the Mini from his profile
