Trouble receiving FaceTime calls on my Mac Mini using OSX Mountain Lion

I have a Mac Mini using OSX Mountain Lion, an iPad 2, and an iPhone 4. I tried to receive a FaceTime call on my Mac but it was telling the caller that it was busy. I was however able to call her iPhone from FaceTime on my Mac and we connected that way. After our video conversation I tried testing this by calling my Mac from my iPhone. I also received the message that it was busy. I should also add that when I first received the call I had my iPad FaceTime turned on. The iPad was ringing but not the Mac. So I turned off FaceTime on my iPad and had her call me back again using my email address. As noted it said it was busy. Please help!

Do you have different FT addresses on your Mini, iPhone and iPad?

Sharing iTunes with a Mac Mini OS X Mountain Lion Server

I'm adding a Mac Mini OS X Mountain Lion Server to my home network. What options do I have to inetgrate iTunes into the server? Currently my master iTunes library is housed on a RAID on a Mac Pro, home sharing is on, and it interfaces over the network just fine into Apple TV (3rd gen). For instance, with Server can all devices on the network have access to that library? Could the library stream to the Apple TV in the living room, an iMac in the office, an iPhone in another room all simultaenously? Also, can any Server member order iTunes Store content and cause it it to be placed into the master library on the Ser

If I purchase a mac mini now - will Mountain Lion be avilable free?

If I purchase a mac mini now - Will Mountain Lion be available free - or should I wait to purchase the mac mini?

No. It will come with Lion installed. A free upgrade to Mountain Lion would only occur when Apple announces such an option, and only to those who purchase the computer within some period of time after ML is released.
If saving $30 or so to upgrade to ML is your goal, then wait until it is released and Apple initiates an Up-To-Date program.

Having trouble receiving FaceTime calls on my iPad2

Can not receive FaceTime calls. I can make calls only. What is up

Some folks have discovered that changing their DNS service fixes FaceTime connection issues. The ideal way is to configure your modem/router with DNS service, but often settings in System Preferences/Network on your Mac or Settings/Wi-Fi on your iPad will override the router settings. In this case it may be an issue with the other party. Suggest these settings to them.
Try either of these;
OpenDNS
208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220
Google Public DNS
8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4

I can not receive FaceTime calls from my mac when i call it from my iPhone

it was all fine and now i can't recieve facetime calls but i can make them, doe it matter if i have the same email on my mac and my iphone?

You should have a separate, verifyible e-mail address for your Mac, and a separate, verifyible e-mail address for your iphone. Having the same address for both can cause the issue you're having.

Mac Mini/Xcode/OS Mountain Lion issue

Hi everyone,
I'm a complete newbie to macs and I'm having a tough time figuring a couple of things out. I basically bought a mac mini so I can use Xcode. I went to try and download it but when it finishes and I open the Xcode file I get a message that says "Xcode Not Supported On This Archtecture". I hit software upgrade but it stays stuck on version 10.5.8. Then I see that you can pay $20 bucks for the newest Mountain Lion update.
Do I need to get Mountain Lion in order for Xcode to work on my Mac Mini?
For further info, I signed up as a developer and I have the 3 gig version of the Mac Mini. I've heard kind of confusing things regarding Xcode with people saying it's free but others saying you have to pay an annual fee. At the moment I haven't paid for anything relating to Xcode.
Basically my main question is, how do I get Xcode up and running?
Sorry if this is all super rookie bush league but I'm brand new to the mac world.
Thanks for all your help.

Xcode is free. A basic login to the developer site is free. For $99 you get full membership in the developer program and the ability to release software either in the App Store (depending on either iOS or Mac program). If you are in the Mac developer program you can release software with a Developer ID. You also get access to different versions of the operating system for testing.
The problem is that your Mac Mini is from 2007 at best. It will not run Mountain Lion. You can call Apple (yes - telephone only - no online sales) and purchase either Snow Leopard or Lion. In the developer site you can download an older version of Xcode appropriate for whatever operating system you want to run. That will be enough to learn on. If you ever want to move publishing your apps, you will need a new system.

You don't need an expensive USB keyboard, a £10 Logitech UK - Keyboard K120 will work just fine for booting into the Recovery Partition to Repair or Reinstall OS X.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.

Mac mini wont run mountain Lion

I have just purchased a 2nd hand 2009 mini mac, and have updated the snow leopard osx.
I checked the spec to be able to run mountain Lion and my machine just meets it...core 2 duo 1.83ghz,upgraded to 2gb ram.
I have purchased Mountain Lion for £14 from apple, and got a download link. Right at the start of the download stage, a warning pops up that my machine isn't able to run it.
I have adequate hard drive space,and realise I am close to edge of compatability, is it because "apple" is recognising my machine as originally having less than 2gb, thus says it is unable to run it?
other questions are, as I ordered the download, but then it failed will I still be charged?
also, if available could I purchase a physical disk and install either on top of my existing OS or even on a new HD.....
I am a new convert having previously done many many windows upgrades etc, so I am learning a bit...Any help would be great, my reason for wanting to upgrade is I wan't to down load Mac Apps, which you have to have mt Lion to do?
many thanks

Yes, thxs for that, my current os is defo 10.6.8, i've run an update, and it says the software is up to date....
My current o/s is I guess snow leopard, and i wan't to get to at least Lion or mountain Lion...
I realise Mavericks is a free upgrade, but i really dont think my machine would run that, but my first issue is getting Mt Lion installed, i understand you can't buy Lion on its own so i purchased Mt Lion...
but like i said, i am unsure if my machine meets the required spec for even that as the ram is just upgraded to 2 gb...
is there a way around the install checking what spec the machine is that it is being installed on to?, although i am unsure if i am even near to that stage as it won't even start the down load...
i will try again!!!
thanks again, has anyone else got any advice...
sorry one last thing, will it be anything linked to my serial number?, it isn't listed under "about my mac", i suspect as it may well have been effected when the ram was expanded to 2gb, would that cause an issue, I have the serial number on the original box, can i re establish that with the mac if that is the cause?

Bonjour.
j'ai un mac mini late 2012 que j'ai mise a jour pour os x maverick
mais in est devenu tres instable avec beaucoup de crash et une lanteur de l'ensemble tres poussé a certain moment.

En cherchant sur le net j'ai trouvé une reponse toute simple

Éteindre l'ordinateur puis le rallumer en maintenant Commande + Alt + R.
cela fait une instal comme le jour de l'achat.

Mac Mini crash after Mountain Lion install!

I just tried to update my wife's MacMini to Mountain Lion and when it went through the first restart, it never came back up. I checked to see if it was the monitor after searching here for a while, I am using a Samsung TV coming off the HDMI port. I plugged in a regular monitor to the mini display port and still nothing. I tried to do a hard restart after letting it sit for about 10 min and now it sounds like the hard drive is barely spinning up. Anybody have any ideas?

Oh. You are so in jail.
Plug the mini straight into the wall power supply.
You do have 4 - 8GB memory installed, right?
Disconnect everything but power and the display port to regular monitor connection. Make sure that external monitor is switched to the type of connection: DVI, HDMI, VGA. Wrong setting and your mini could be booted up sneering at you from behind a dark screen.
Boot mini.
Any change?
