Simple question - Can I use a Mini Mac with a webcam to use facetime?

Hello,
I have a friend who wants me to use Facetime to call him. If I have a Mac Mini with a webcam, can I use Facetime? Also, how fast does the processor need to be?
Thanks in advance.

The quick answer is: yes, you can view your slingbox video on a mac.
But, there are some considerations about which computer you have and which slingbox you have. Usability and video quality is affected by system speed, network speed and now internet speed even on the local network; as slingbox has made a big push for viewing over the internet via slingbox.com.
The slingbox for mac download is still available on their site.

Using my MIni Mac with a Sony handycam

Hi all,
I'm thinking of buying a Sony Hnadycam with built in HD but while reading the manual online i noticed the software provided does not work with a mac.
Does this mean i can't use it with my mac and that there will be problems with dumping video onto it and editing ??

The software supplied doesn't work with Macs, but whether the camera itself does work depends on what software you have on your system. If you have iMovie 08, it will work just fine, but earlier versions will not function with that sort of camcorder. Typically, prior to iMovie 08, a camcorder would need to be miniDV tape and firewire connected to work seamlessly with a Mac.

My iMac can not see my mini Mac via Airport extreme using host name, only via IP address. What am I doing wrong ?

I have an iMac and a mini Mac attached to the same Airport extreme. It would appear that Bonjour works because I can see the hostname of the mini Mac server in Finder on the iMac.
But if I type in the host name (myminimac.private) in the Safari browser at the iMac it can not find the mini mac. However if I type in the IP address of the mini mac server it can see the see it.
It used to work but I must have done something to mess it up.
Anybody any suggestions ?

You have the wrong card. You need the original AirPort card for your G4.
...how the **** do i get the Superdrive to open up so i can put in a CD/DVD?
If the keyboard has a media eject key, press that. If not, hold down F12.

Using your mini Mac in Europe at 220 V?

I am about to purchase the mini Mac from a Mac Store and have noticed in the specification for power input they have listed 110 V (US, Japan, South America). I spend my time between Europe and the US and would like to be able to take my mini Mac with me. I have gone to the European Apple sites and they have it listed there 110-240 V. Does that mean that if I purchase a mini Mac here in the States, I won't be able to use it in Europe because of the voltage difference, but if I purchase it in Europe I can use it both here and there? Has anyone ever used the mini Mac they purchased in the US in Europe?
Do tell, oh wise one....

There is some confusion as to whether the mini sold in the Americas and Japan is really only 110 volt.
One person reported in this forum a few months ago that they took a new Mac mini to the UK and the power pack burned out immediately when he plugged it directly into the local electric current with just a plug adapter.
However, a number of folks reported just last week in another thread in this forum that they have taken Mac minis bought in North America and used them successfully in various European locations with just a plug adapter without any harm.
Here is an example of a universal adapter that is usable in 150 nations. It will convert any plug to fit any electrical outlet. Plus it has a USB port to charge USB devices in any of the 150 countries. (perhaps overkill, but you never know when you may get a chance trip to Italy!)

Formatting will erase the drive.
You need to copy the photo's to either your old computer, the Mac Mini or to a new external drive and then decide what to do with your existing external drive.
For example: You could use one External drive for Photo's and one external drive for Time Machine to backup both your Mac Mini and the Photo drive.

No transformer necessary, you only need a plug adapter. Look at the power specifications on your computer and you will see it's good from 100V to 240V.

How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

The Guest Network function of the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme cannot be enabled when the device is in Bridge Mode. Unfortunately, with another router...the Telus...upstream on your network, Bridge Mode is indicated as the correct setting for all other routers on the network.
If you can replace the Telus gateway with a simple modem (that performs no routing functions), you should be able to configure either the Time Capsule or the AirPort Extreme....whichever is connected to the modem....to provide a Guest Network.

I currently have a mbp with two internal hard drives ( took super drive out) which for a video editor like myself is a dream I can edit video anywhere, my question can I order a new mbp with 2 internal flash drives?

I currently have a mbp 2.3 gighuz intel core 7 16 gig of ram with two internal hard drives ( took super drive out) which for a video editor like myself is a dream I can edit video anywhere, my question can I order a new mbp with 2 internal flash drives?

I wouldn't think so because the newer ones with Retina displays don't have an internal SuperDrive that can be replaced. Therefore the newer logic boards wouldn't have the two SATA/SATA Express connections on the logic board.
At least that was the case as of 2012. I've seen newer ones and they also don't have a SuperDrive.

Can i setup a wifi router with my IPad2 without using a computer ?

Can i setup a wifi router with my IPad2 without using a computer ?

This is going to depend on what wireless router got get. Some want to do all administration functions via a ethernet cable connection for security reasons.
Once the router is configured, you will no longer need a computer.
Try looking for a router that configures through a web browser & allows administration from a wifi connections.
I think the easiest thing will be to have a friend come over & configure with a laptop. I believe that you can configure the router without have a broadband connection. You could configure it at a friends house. Might not want to connect to the friends broadband so not to confuse your friends broadband. ( this is only a worry if the router also includes the broadband model. Just a wireless router without a modem is not worry ).

You can sync as many devices as you like to the same iTunes account, there is no limit. You can have the same content on each device or different content, the choice is yours. iTunes will keep it all straight by device, including separate backups.

Is it possible to use an iphone 5s with contract(verizon) to use it in india after unlocking

is it possible to use an iphone 5s with contract(verizon) to use it in india after unlocking

The 5s claims it has more LTE bands than ever. Which is does if you read the tech specs on it. If I was going to go there, I would do some research. If you plan on sliding in a sim card from a german carrier, what German carrier and what LTE bands do they use? Thats what I would do.
There is a significant amount of LTE bands added on the Iphone 5s compared to the 5 yes. Will it work? It might depending on what carrier you plan to use like I said. I can't answer that sorry.
