Trouble getting online with Mac mini since upgrade to maverick

Although it shows full strength in the upper right, I cannot get online via Safari since my upgrade to Maverick, although Firefox works.

thanks for your quick reply
my safari version is 7.0.3
according to Software Update I am up to date - the Safari update was installed on 4/1 - can't remember if this problem started then - possibly.
I use my ipad for almost everything - rarely use the mini anymore except to print or access flash content.
This all came up as I am having scanner/printer issues since Maverick as well. I have been trying to fix that

After I updated lion to 10.7.4, app store does not recognize my ID APPLE and it unable to connect me to app store in order to update/download apps? What have I to do? I have the same problem with mac mini e mac book air. Please help me!

Your advice did not help me. I also installed 10.7.4 combo but the situation is the same.
my internet connection is ok, mail is ok, but app store after 3 resets does not recognize my ID and it says "connection is not possible". Why? I have the same problem in both my mac mini late 2009 and mac book air 2010? Is it a problem of 10.7.4 update? I have to solve this problem and how can i return to 10.7.3 if my last backup was not with 10.7.3???thank you for your kind collaboration...

HT4907 I am able to connect to my Mac Mini on Back to My Mac through iCloud but the keyboard/trackpad on the MBAir or MBP with which I access does not register on the Mini. So I can see the screen but cannot interact with it. Mini works accessing MBP/Air

I am able to connect to my Mac Mini on Back to My Mac through iCloud but the keyboard/trackpad on the MBAir or MBP with which I access does not register on the Mini. So I can see the screen but cannot interact with it. Mini works accessing MBP/Air and I can use Mini to input data or interact with screens of those computers.

Regarding your first question about bookmarks, I think you discovered the answer in when you pressed the address bar. The second tab there has your bookmarks.
As for the keyboard, I'm not sure why your Firefox is reacting so slowly; mine seems to show keyboards even when I don't want them. If you have accumulated a lot of history, perhaps that's an issue?
Did you use any third party software to move your Firefox data from internal memory to the storage card?

Internet connection sharing between Mac Mini and Imac G3- how?

Ok, I'm trying to connect my G3 Imac (running 10.4.8) to my Mac Mini (also running 10.4.8) but it just wont work.
I've turned Internet Connection sharing on on my Mac Mini, and set it to share the airport connection to computers connected using Built in ethernet.
Network (on the M Mini) shows
Built-In Ethernet is currently active. Built-In Ethernet has a self assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the Internet.
Network (on the G3) shows
Built-In Ethernet is currently active and has the IP address 192.168.2.7. You are connected to the Internet via Built-In Ethernet.
When i try to go to a webpage on the G3 it fails stating, 'You are not connected to the Internet'.
I'm using a standard straight through ethernet cable, as I was told a while ago from apple support that it doesn't matter which u use, straight through or crossover.
Any help would be really appreciated
Macbook 2.0Ghz 2GB 80GB/Mac Mini 1.42Ghz 1GB 80GB/Imac G3 450Mhz 640MB 80GB Mac OS X (10.4.8)

OK after some playing about I can now manage to connect to the mac mini and vice versa to share files.
The iMac G3 now says it has an IP address of 192.168.2.18, and that it's connected to the internet via built-in ethernet. I've set configure IPV4 to Using DHCP.
Except it's not connected to the net.
If i select Using DHCP on the Mini it doesn't obtain an IP address, not even a self set one. So i've set a manual IP address on that, and everything shows up green. Airpot connected to the internet and Ethernet has an IP address of 192.168.2.30.
After reading some forums I set up firewall logging. The result is what happens on the Mac Mini when I use network diagnostics on the G3:
Feb 11 16:43:52 richard-xxxxx-mac-mini natd[394]: failed to write packet back (Host is down)
So I opened port 394 (not really knowing what i'm trying) but it had no effect.

Is it possible to have a phone line connected to a Mac Mini (OS X10.8.2) so you can use your computer with Parallels (Windows xp) to dial into a modem to download data being collected and stored at the remote location?

Hi, do you mean a real Dial-up Modem as in the old days?
As I recall, the Apple USB Modem won't work in 64 bit OSes, but there are others that will, I think this is one of them...

Or is the Modem on the other end Cable/DSL/FiberOptic?

Until the MacBook Air was released and supported in 10.5, the Mac did not consider USB to be a valid Networking Protocol. So set the Mac with USB solutions aside.
To connect computer-to-computer, you typically need to be using an Ethernet crossover cable. Assigning the same address to two Ethernet devices is never the solution -- it gives a Network Conflict, just as you said.
If your Windows box has some mechanism for Sharing its WiFi connection over Ethernet, you would have to follow its rules. Whether that means Manually assigning an Ethernet Address in the same range or the PC will provide the Address, I do not know.
Best success may be running an Ethernet cable to your Wired/Wireless Base Station, or using a "gaming adapter" (Ethernet-to-Wireless no drivers required) connected to the Mac's Ethernet port to give it WiFi access. What is your Base Station {Cable, DSL, FIOS, Other} ? Ethernet cables can be up to 100 meters (an American Football Field). Often the Base Station can be moved closer for more convenience.

I am not certain this will fix your problem but I suggest you assign the printer a static IP address.
Using the printer's front panel, select Menu > Network > WLAN > TCP/IP > Boot method, and change it to "static". Provide a static IP address that is on your LAN's subnet.
For example, if you are using an AirPort Extreme, you might give it an IP address of 10.0.1.100. If you are using a Netgear or Linksys router that defaults to issuing 192.168.x.x addresses, you might give it an address of 192.168.1.100. That way, the printer will always "reside at the same address" on your network. If your router has the ability, you should reserve that address so that the router does not attempt to assign it to another DHCP device.
Then, go to System Preferences > Print & Scan, and delete your existing printer with the "–" (minus) button. Add it again, using the "+" (plus) button. In the window that appears, select the IP pane, and from the Protocol menu select "Line Printer Daemon (LPD)". In the Address field type the IP address you gave your printer.
If all goes well the "Pring Using" field will detect the printer at that address and automatically select the appropriate driver. You will see something similar to the following screenshot ("name" can be whatever you decide, and "location" is optional):
Click Add, then you can close System Preferences.
There are other possible reasons your printer is "not responding" which could include wireless interference from competing wireless networks, but try this "static IP" method first. It should mitigate the problem.

HP w2207h with Mac Mini screen clipping trouble?

Hi,
My HP monitor is connected to the Mac Mini using the HDMI cable. The monitor seems to almost be working right. The only problem is the edges of the screen are cut off in the monitor. The Apple menu bar is completely cut off at the top and part of the Dock is cut off at the bottom. I have cycled through every resolution available in the Display settings in the Systems Preferences. I have also tried to use the physical menu on the monitor with no luck. I cannot seem to fix this. Any solutions?

You can use HDMI cable with HP w2207h directly,No need for other cable. but please follow these step.
1.Find LCD tv to set up first step.
2.Connect HDMI cable to LCD TV(i use Samsung) and adjust to HDMI source.
3.Open Mac mini.
4.Open system preference.
5.Click "display" you will see that the primary setting is :1680*1050 that HP monitor did not support.
6.Unplug HDMI cable from LCDtv (no need to shut down) and plug into HP w2207h.
7.the screen still blinking, it is ok.
8.On HP monitor, Push down button "Select" and "+" and the same time and hold it.
9.Use mouse or down button on keyboard to choose screen resolution to be "1600*900"
10. Then the screen will not blinking and you can use your lovely HP w2207h
if you want a high resolution on screen.
1.Buy new LED monitor that support 1680*1050 resolution.
2.Buy Mini displayport to DVI for digital signal Mini>DVI>HDMI.
Enjoy your MAC. because i am new Mac user with my MAC mini 2011

Incompatibility problems with mac mini MA206LL/A* and linksys WRT610N

i purchased a new wrt610n and one of the machines that is connected is a mac mini, 1.66 ghz intel core duo.
#ma2066/ll/a for those who want to compare notes. the computer is stock with the 802.11g wireless card that came with the machine. it is running the current software and all the updates are up to date.
i am using wpa 2 personal w / aes
their is some kind of incompatibility or issue between the wrt610n and the mac mini.
either using the wireless connection OR connected directly to the router, web pages are very slow to load. sometimes it can take up to 45 seconds for the mac mini to open up a webpage. for 45 seconds it is at 'contacting website'
when i try to run software update, i get a time out error -1001, make sure you can connect to the internet and try again.
hulu desktop is also running slow.
copying a file from the mac mini to a another computer over wifi averages about 1 mb/s
when i informed linksys about this problem, they took my phone number and said that a linksys Technician / senior tech support employee would call me back. that was a day or so ago. i asked if i can have any newer firmware, considering the latest is 5 months old.
i am considering returning this router, but i don't see a lot of good alternatives that have similar features. i have 21 days to return this. the restocking fee will be 15% i am also considering various 802.11n solutions for the mac mini, even including the dell 1500 wireless mini card, i heard it works as an airport card.
if i do get a different model router i would like external antennas.
my previous router was a 5 year old wrt54gs version 2.0, and it never had a problem with any of the computers with the network.
the trouble shooting steps involved changing the beacon to 75 and the mtu to something else, i forgot. it did not make a difference.
i moved the mini and connected it wired to the wrt610 and turned off the airport wireless card and there was no improvement.
when i disconnected the wrt610n and connected the mac mini directly to my dsl modem. the issues were suddenly gone.
theres some kind of problem with this particular unit. and i would like to hear from others who have solved this or are experiencing the same problem

Just out of curiosity: what internet provider do you have? I'm just asking since I had similar issues after switching from AT&T DSL to AT&T U-verse. Sometimes pages took a very long time to load, or just a part or image of the page. Sometimes I would get a page not found error or something like this and only refreshing the page several times would retrieve and display the actual page.
Here's what I did: I went into my iMac's network preferences and switched the DNS server IP with one from OpenDNS.com, such as 208.67.222.222.
Since then I haven't had these issues anymore. Don't ask me why though; but I would be curious to hear whether this may fix your issue as well!

The best audio interface with Mac Mini using new & existing equipment?

Hi,
I got my existing set-up back in 2003. I'm now about to update it.
I've talked to Apple Technical Support re which computer is best for me.
Some important questions remain in terms of the audio interface or sound bridge I should use.
I've detailed below my existing set-up, my existing configuration, my desired set-up (as recommended by Apple expert) and questions I have.
Existing set-up:
Hardware...
1. ViewSonic HDMI 1080p Full HD LED monitor
2. PowerMac G4 (PowerPC processor) computer
3. PCI-424 soundcard within computer (works in conjunction with MOTU 2408 mk3 unit)
4. MOTU 2408 mk3
5. Quested monitors
6. Focusrite Session Pack ff ISA220 compressor
7. MOTU micro lite (midi-usb interface)
8. Keyboard (yet to choose - I'll explain later)
9. ADK Tube Condenser Commemorative Edition microphone
10. ADK Tube Condenser Commemorative Edition microphone power box (supplies both power and phantom power)
Software...
11. Tiger 10.4.11 operating system
12. Logic Studio 8 music program
Desired set-up:
1. ViewSonic HDMI 1080p Full HD LED monitor
2. Mac Mini full spec = £999.00
3. _______________________________________
4. _______________________________________
5. Quested monitors
6. _______________________________________
7. _______________________________________
8. _______________________________________
9. ADK Tube Condenser Commemorative Edition microphone
10. ADK Tube Condenser Commemorative Edition microphone power box (supplies both power and phantom power)
Software...
11. Top-end operating system = Comes with Mac Mini
12. Logic Pro X music program = £139.99
Existing configuration:
ViewSonic HDMI 1080p Full HD LED monitor goes into PowerMac G4 (PowerPC processor) computer
PCI-424 soundcard within computer (works in conjunction with MOTU 2408 mk3 unit)
MOTU 2408 mk3 used as my audio interface for sound in and sound out. This means that the sound comes out of computer via the MOTU 2408 and out of my Quested monitors (they are active so self-powered) which are attached to the MOTU's outputs.
When I record vocals I sing into my ADK microphone (this microphone sources its own power from its own box which also feeds it Phantom Power) which is connected by a mic to jack cable to the Focusrite compressor which is connected by jack to jack cable to the MOTU 2408 which then goes into my computer via a firewire cable.
When I play keyboards or use my keyboard as a midi controller it connects to my computer via the MOTU micro lite (midi-usb interface).
I don't currently have a keyboard. I used to use my basic Yamaha PSR-540 keyboard as a midi controller but as it's not weighted and faulty I needed to get a new one. We got a new one via Thomann which was the M-Audio Pro Keys 88 keyboard but this quickly became faulty. We returned it and have since been considering other weighted keyboards. I am simply wanting a keyboard with Aftertouch, either 76 or 88 keys, weighted keys and very importantly, hammer action where the action is fast. I don't care for other controllers on the keyboard, on-board sounds, iPad compatibility or whatever.
My Questions:
Q1) Can you recommend any keyboards meeting my specifications?
Q2) I can't imagine any of the Blue or other USB mics competing with my ADK and I'm quite happy with it. For vocals and when I've wanted to play the keyboard in as audio (not as a midi controller) I've used the Focusrite compressor to boost the sound. I'm not using many functions/presets on the compressor as I know it's best to record the sound of vocals mostly raw, is this correct, and if so is it worth me continuing to use this compressor or sell it?
Q3) Do I need to have the MOTU micro lite (midi to usb) unit? Don't most keyboards these days connect direct usb to usb on the computer?
Q4) I'm happy and used to the sound out from my Quested monitors. I'm happy and used to the sound in using my ADK microphone. What do I need for these to work best with the Mac Mini? Is my MOTU 2408 good for this, or is another MOTU product needed, or another product altogether?
Q5) Depending on (Q4) do I need a soundcard installed in the Mac Mini as I read on a forum that these days the audio interface acts like the soundcard?
Q6) I have such a bad connection to the internet it's like I have Dial-up!!! I use Airport Wireless which is connected to a router downstairs, which is 02 Broadband. Internet's not an issue downstairs on my girlfriend's intel PC which also uses a wireless connection but not Airport. Is this a problem because of my Airport, or do I need to get a router for upstairs, or should I connect it directy to the router downstairs by ethernet cable?
Many thanks!

Is there a reason you don't want to use your current Tascam?

BT Broadband compatibility with Mac Mini

Sorry if this question has been asked before but I am hoping to convert from Win XP to a Mac Mini soon and currently use BT as my broadband supplier. Iuse a Voyager 105 ADSL modem (wired) but the driver CD that came with the modem is not mac compatible.
Is it possible to set up an internet connection using the mac mini alone or do BT do a driver disc specifically for the mac OS?
Forgive my ignorance on such matters but I am mac virgin and want to know what will and wont work before I commit to the mini. Any help is appreciated.
Sub Sea Sniper

The BT Voyager 105 is a USB-based ADSL modem and from what I read on various sites, the Mac drivers, although available) are pretty shoddy.
Most UK IPSs supply USB ADSL modems because they are cheap and 99.9% of Windows PCs have USB, whereas not all have an Ethernet network connection.
USB ADSL Modems are generally inferior to Ethernet ADSL Routers so I would 110% recommend investing in one (such as the Netgear DG834).
Ethernet ADSL Routers require no drivers whatsoever, work faster and more reliably than USB modems, and they don't take up a USB port (usually requiring you to buy a USB hub).
Also, many Ethernet ADSL Routers have pretty decent hardware firewalls and VPN capability built-in (the Netgear DG834 has).
So, I would forget about your Voyager and get an Ethernet ADSL Router.
Also look at the D-Link DSL-300T 1-port ADSL Ethernet Modem or the 4-port D-Link DSL-504T ADSL ADSL Modem Router.

Trouble connection on ONE Mac !?

I restore (from an other Mac) my iMac G4 few days ago. Almost everything was look fine and work after (some minus trouble connecting the 2 Mac Firewire. Probably some Alias I was using for some Utilities who was unable to work properly)
This morning Adobe Updater said he had an update for Illustrator CS3 and ask me to quit Firefox 3. I did it, Illustrator is now update but I can't anymore get an internet connection with the iMac.
Note that *on the same connection*, my iBook connect as usual.(I know I can't connect both in same time. Is always only one Mac connected)
I check the pref. panel/Network. They have both the same Built-in Ethernet configuration.
I need some help because I don't know where to look to fix it.

For a start, type this into the bowser's URL bar...
17.149.160.49
If that gets you to apple.com, then try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers for the Interface you're using...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Then Apply. These are safer/faster than most ISP's DNS numbers, and have been patched against DNS poisoning.

Analog TV with Mac mini

A have a Philips widescreen TV connected via DVI to Video Adapter. In the TV i have a converter from S-video to scart.
My problems are:
Why can i not get a widescreen resolution (1024 x 576) with the PAL frequency (50hz). Is there a way to fix this?
Even if i was prepared for a bad resolution, i was not prepared for the lousy picture quality. The colors seemes to be out of place and the edges are not straigth. Is there a way to fix this?

If you have a normal tv then I assume you have scart in the right? I also assume you have the converter cable that connects from your mac mini to the TV.
You need to do some testing, have the computer monitor in the same room as your TV so you can connect and disconnect the mac mini. If you can connect the monitor and the cable to the TV at the same time to the mac mini you can see what's happening.
Why don't you leave the settings as default on the TV and connect the cables, set your resolution on the mac mini first to 800x600, turn on the TV and press the AV button (its usually the same button that you press when switching over to the VCR or press 0 on the remote)
If you don't see the mac mini screen, connect it to the computer monitor. Go to System Preferences >Display >Color> select PAL or NTSC (I think you mentioned you PAL). Check also the button "Detect Display".
Its pretty an easy job getting the mac over to the TV if you have the right cable which I presume you do. But as I said I have only an iBook G4.
