Specifications on new Mac Mini ?

Have just bought a new 2.26 Mac Mini. On Apple´s homepage it says Geforce Nvidia 9400M with 256 MB shared. Back home I discovered that on the box it says Geforce Nvidia 9400M with 128 MB shared.
At the store they tell me it´s a typo - anyone tryed the same ?

If it's only got 128mb then you have been given an older model mini even if has upgraded ram
There has never been a Mac mini with only 128 MB of video memory. The Mid '07 model, the model prior to the models introduced this year, had 64 MB. The Early and Late '09 Mac minis are basically the same machine and they both have the same NVIDIA GeForce 9400M which uses 128 MB when there is only 1 GB of installed RAM, or uses its 256 MB full capacity when 2 to 8 GB of RAM are installed.

    Where can I buy a 3.0 usb hub (2008 version 1 USB 3.0 specification) for my new Mac Mini?

    I'd go for the > USB 3.0 4-Port Hub Belkin, mostly because Belkin has never let me down.
    Also the > D-Link | DUB-1340 4-Port Superspeed USB 3 Hub, looks like a good choice.

  • New Mac Mini and TrueHD audio

    Has any one know if it's possible to play back uncompressed audio streams from .m2ts streams thru the HDMI connector, or are the Dolby Digital and/or DTS the only streams that can play back thru HDMI?

    Apple have only said Dolby DTS works, and PCM works. They have not mentioned TrueHD. However others have said that currently the chips used in the Mac mini do not support sending True HD via the HDMI, even though the HDMI specification obviously allows this.
    The conclusion is that we would have to wait for another newer Mac mini model with a better set of chips.
    I have seen less to nothing about the possibility of running TrueHD via the Mini Displayport and then an adapter to HDMI. It is the case that the Mini Displayport supports audio on the 2010 Mac mini but it is likely the same chip issue prevents True HD.
    This is all very disappointing of course.
    For the moment, I am sticking with an Apple TV running XBMC which is far cheaper but still does not support TrueHD.
    PS. If the rumours are that the next Apple TV only does 720p are true, then Microsoft will (rightly) be laughing at Apple's feeble efforts.

  • New mac mini and noisy dvd drive

    Any time I have a DVD in my brand new mac mini, from commercial DVDs to trying to author a blank DVD, I get the dreaded chainsaw sound that plagues anyone who has owned an xbox 360. Has anyone else suffered with this with their new mac mini or should I send it back to apple

    I should have been a little more specific. This happens usually when I try and do slightly disc intensive tasks, such as burn a disc, import a disc to itunes, and I can even get it to sound when I leave a disc in the drive, turn the computer off, and as it's booting it will make the grinding noise. I first thought that the computer couldn't lay on it's side as that's when I first noticed it (sort of like the wii on it's side because this fits my setup), but it makes the same noise whether I have it on it's side or not. This is also not disc specific, I can re-create the noise with different discs, DVDs, CDs when importing to itunes. Guess I'll be taking it to an iTunes store to get it checked out.

    No disk-version of Lion, but a Lion Thumb Drive http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD256
    For the downloaded OSX Lion form the Mac App Store you can use this http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/39701/lion-diskmaker to make yourself a disk.

  • IPhoto - crash on startup on brand new mac mini

    Hi
    Just bought a new Mac Mini, ran migration assistant to move all my files over to the new machine.  My iPhoto library is stored on an external hard drive.
    Every time I launch iPhoto on the new Mac, it immediately crashes.   The first 30-40 lines of the crash report is below.  I have deleted and reinstalled iPhoto with and without the external hard drive connected, no change in result.    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Try reinstalling iPhoto from the App Store.  You may have to move iPhoto to the Trash bin in the Dock (but don't empty yet), go to the App Store and download and install it again.
    If that doesn't help you'll need to boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down) and reinstall the system.
    Lastly you have 90 days of free phone support from Apple so if all else fails call them.

  • How do I know if my brand new Mac mini (late 2012) really has Mac OS X 10.9 Maverick preinstalled?

    How do I know if my brand new Mac mini (late 2012) really has Mac OS X 10.9 Maverick preinstalled, as stated when I bought it, without opening the box and booting the device? It says "Copyright 2012 Apple Inc." on one of the sides of the box, which makes me uncertain.
    If it does not have Mac OS X 10.9 Maverick preinstalled I might have bought an old device, in worst case as old as a year or more.
            /Birger

    The late 2012 does have USB 3 !!
    I specifically waited to purchase a Mac Mini
      until USB 3 was made available.
    Look at the diagram (picture) on the bottom of the box.  The diagram that details which ports are available on the unit.
    If you see 3 after USB.. then it is a late 2012 Mac Mini.
    Looking at my box it clearly says USB 3.
    I don't think there has been any changes to the Mac Mini since late 2012.
      other than the pre-installed OS being Mavericks now..
    You will want USB 3!!!
    My box also indicates it is version 2.6 (just above the Airport ID).
      (Mine is definitely a late 2012 model).

  • New Mac Mini or iMac (late 2012) for Logic Pro?

    Between these two specifically, which would be better for Logic Pro, and why?
    The new Mac Mini (mid-tier) has a 2.3gHz i7, and the low-end iMac which has a 2.7GHz i5.  Both are quad-core.  The i5 is faster in clock-speed, but the Mini sports the i7, which has hyperthreading.
    Can anybody offer any insight on which of these two computers would be better for Logic?

    While this is not quite the answer you be looking for...
    The 2011 Mac Mini Server, is in many ways the better bet for use with Logic because...
    It has a 2.0Ghz i7... so slightly slower than the 2012 models..but it is the i7 version with 8 Cores.. so it still flies..
    It comes with 2 x 500GB 7200rpm Hard Drives built in (Compared to 5400rpm Drives in the 2012 model)
    Memory easily upgraded to 16GB for about $90 via Amazon..
    ..and yoi get a free copy of OS X Server, if should wish to use it at some point in the future... (The MMS comes with the Standard OS X installed and you have to run the add on server program to install OS X server so if you don't need the server stuff, don't run the Server installation software and you'll be running standard OS X  as normal)
    USB2 instead of USB3 is about the only other important difference that matters for AudioExt Drive use but using the FW800 and Thunderbolt ports, via Tbolt to FW adaptors on the 2011 MMS removes the need for USB3 I find..
    Othert than that the 2011 and 2012 models are pretty much the same...
    But.. the real kicker is that Apple are currently selling refurbished ones (with full warranty) at $759.....  down from $999 originally...so they are quite the bargain..
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/FC936LL/A/refurbished-mac-mini-with-lion-serve r-20ghz-quad-core-intel-core-i7
    I bought two of these originally and have never regretted it.. So much so that i just picked up another as a spare...
    Got to be worth consideration... and at that price.. You could buy two... and use Vienna Ensemble Pro 5 to sync them together..
    A Basic Guide to VEP5 and Logic info that i wrote, can be found here...
    http://www.logicprohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=78956http://www.logicprohe lp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=78956
    ...add a screen and still save money conpared to buying a mid level iMac.... and you would be getting one **** of a punchy system for your buck.
    Other than that suggestion..
    In regards to the original question... Always go for the i7 models as hyperthreading adds 4 more (virtual) cores and that can really make a difference in performance compared to the 4 cores of an i5...

  • Cannot reinstall 10.8 on new Mac mini

    OK, so here's what I did so far:
    Bought a new Mac mini (i7)
    Moved apps and data from my old Mac mini using the migration assistant
    All went smooth up to here. Now what I want to do is do a fresh installation of Mountain Lion
    after all. And this is where the problems start.
    I still have the downloaded Mountain Lion app on my external hard drive. When I
    double click on it it tells me that my Mac is not compatible with Mountain Lion.
    OK, may be it's outdated (the installer). So I went over to the App Store trying
    to download the installer again. No such luck: The App Store also tells me
    that I cannot download this software because my computer is not compatible
    with Mac OSX 10.8
    Does anyone have an idea what might cause this sudden incompatibility?
    Thanks,
    Christian

    The OS X 10.8.2 that shipped with the October 23 announcement hardware (including your new mini) is a special hardware build that does not exist in the App Store. Any prior Mountain Lion installer that you may have had laying about, will tell you it cannot install. OS X 10.8.3 when it arrives, should rectify this issue.
    You will need to to do a clean install from Apple's Internet Recovery HD.
    Make sure you have a wired Ethernet connection. Reboot holding command+option+R. This will fetch the special version of Mountain Lion from Apple specific to your mini as it was shipped.

  • Hooking a new Mac mini onto my iMac

    Hi there kind people!
    i'm pretty sure there are several discussions out there considering the possibility to hook a new Mac mini on to iMacs. However mine is pretty specific, so I'd though to give it a go and just spit out!
    I'm considering buying a new Mac mini. However I don't like the idea of buying a new monitor, because I've got an 24" iMac standing on my desk. Is it possible to use the iMac as a monitor for the Mac mini and what would it require?
    I've got a 24-inch iMac, from the beginning of 2009. It is, of course, running on OS X Lion.
    I hope you people can help me out!
    Thanks a bunch and have a splendid day!
    Greetings,

  • Cannot get new Mac Mini to detect TV

    I've just got a new Mac Mini which I wanted to connect to my TV via HDMI. I used to use my Macbook to connect to it using mini DVI to HDMI and it worked fine but the Mac Mini doesn't detect it at all. I've tried changing the resolution and various other things but no luck. Any ideas how to get it working?

    Install the recent EFI firmware update for your mini that was just released. It should be available through software update. Do one power cycle of your mini after this firmware update.
    Power your mini off. Power on the TV and switch to the specific HDMI port connected to your mini. Now, power on the mini. See if this TV first scenario and the firmware update resolve your TV detection and HDMI picture.

  • Upgrade to OS 10.4 with SW coming from new Mac Mini (Intel duo core)

    Is it possible to upgrade my G4 PowerBook to the latest OS 10.4 and iLife06 with the SW provided and installed on new Mac Mini's with the Intel duo core? That would make purchasing a new Mac Mini a sweeter deal.

    No.
    The disks that come with new machines are specific to that machine.
    You will need Tiger and iLife '06 if you want to upgrade your PowerBook.
