Heya David,
If you haven't already please update to 10.4.8. If issue persists then try the following:
Remove the following files to the trash (do not empty until you test for function):
~/library/caches
~/library/preferences/com.apple.itunes.plist
~/library/prefernces/com.apple.iphoto.plist
~/library/preferences/com.apple.frontrow.plist

  • Trouble sharing Music and Photos on new Mac Book Pro

    I am loving my new Mac Book Pro. Front Row seems quite promising, but I'm having problems with shared music and photos.
    I have an airport network in my home and have most of my music and photos stored on my desktop (Dual G4). When I open iTunes on my new MBP the shared music works just fine. Similarly, iPhotos shows the shared photos from my desktop on my MBP.
    But, when I try using Front Row, I get an error message saying that there is no shared content. I found a work around that seems to work most (but not all) of the time. If I open iTunes first, start playing a song (shared from the desktop) and then switch over to Front Row it shows that song as now playing and then the rest of the shared music is available.
    I have used Software Update to download the latest version of all software on both computers and for my airport network.
    Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    David

    When you say you've got your Mac Mini, is it new or second hand?
    Anyway, go to Spotlight, type Disk Utility and open Disk Utility, click Verify Disk and also then Repair Disk, does that resolve your issue?

  • Trouble with Flash and SpeakPipe in Safari (Mac)

    I can't get Flash Player to let me "Allow" recording via SpeakPipe in Safari. I have the current version of Yosemite installed on my Mac, I have the most recent version of Flash Player installed, and I can record using SpeakPipe in Chrome, but in Safari every time I try I get the dialogue button asking me if I want to allow it, but it won't let me click on "Allow". I go to the Flash Player Settings Panel, and it shows the SpeakPipe site as a visited site for which use is Allowed. I follow the instructions to restart Safari, but it still doesn't work.
    Sure would appreciate any help somebody could offer.

    Ok. Thanks. I couldn't find the Flash Player forum in the list of options when I was trying to post it.

  • When I plug a LaCie external hard drive into my new Mac mini, [os 10.9.1], to use with Time Machine it effects the performance of my internet and email. Turn off Time Machine and unplug the hard drive and the internet and email are working normally again

    When I plug a LaCie external hard drive to work with Time Machine into my new Mac mini, [OS 10.9.1] it drastically effects the performance of the internet and email, turn off Time Machine, unplug the hard drive, internet and email go back to normal. Why?

  • 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.

  • My new mac mini (3 month) didn't start up,all that appeared was a white screen and a flashing folder with a question mark inside it.

    My new Mac mini (3 month) didn't start up, all that appeared was a white screen and a flashing folder with a question mark inside it.
    I followed by recommendations from 'Everything Mac': "shut it down by pressing and holding the power button for about 5 seconds.
    Then hold down the Option key and press the power button again to start up the Mac mini. Keep holding down the Option key until
    the Mac mini starts up."
    But I got a Wi-Fi button only to chose and connect the local network. I connected to my network and I can't use this connection
    becouse no icons.
    Could you please help me?

    Your Mini (running 10.6.4) should have come with grey-colored install disks. Now is the time to put them into service. Turn on your computer so that there is power to accept disk #1 into the optical drive. Once  the disk is in the drive, shut off the computer by holding the start button down until it powers off. Then turn it on this time holding down the "C" key to make the computer boot from the disk. The question mark that you saw indicates that the computer cannot find a bootable volume. This can happen due to corrupted system files or an improper shutdown etc. Once you are in the "Installer" you can choose Disk Utility from the Utilities Menu in the menu bar. Use it to repair the disk and to see if that can solve your trouble.  

  • Having trouble installing iMovie HD on a new Mac with Mavericks

    I am having trouble installing iMovie HD on a new Mac with Mavericks.
    I know that iMovie HD works with Mavericks because we are using it on other Macs successfully.   However, those machines were upgraded starting with OS 10.6.   In other words, iMovie HD was installed on these Macs when the Macs had Snow Leopard.
    When I use the iLife 06 disc, I am presented with “You can't open the application “iLife 06” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."
    I understand that iMovie HD  is universal, not PowerPC.  How can I get past this to install iMovie HD.
    Thanks

    OK, I made some progress.
    I used Pacifist (Shareware) to open the iMovie HD 6 install packages from the iLife '06 installer DVD (iMovie.pkg and iMovieThemes_Tiger.pkg) and let Pacifist install them to the right places.
    But doesn't iMovie HD 6 require QuickTime 7 to work ?

  • Got Lion with new Mac mini and want to install on imac

    Hi,
    I just bought a new mac mini with lion. and now i want to install Lion on my imac.
    Is there a way to register my purchase of lion on appstore so i can download it from there?
    //Stefan

    You'll have to pay for the App Store version of Lion needed for the iMac.  The license for Lion  that you get  with a new computer is different from the App Store license, and doesn't provide for multiple installations.
    From the Lion Software License Agreement, which you can download from here:

For example, these standard single-copy license terms apply to you if you obtained the Apple Software preinstalled on Apple- branded hardware.

  • How can i connect a Wireless Keyboard and a Trust mouse with a brand new Mac mini?

    How can i connect a Wireless Keyboard and a Trust mouse to a brand new Mac mini?

    Go to the Bluetooth icon on the menu bar and select "Set Up Bluetooth Device". Follow the wizard.
    Alternatively, if you haven't yet unboxed and setup the Mini, you can pair the keyboard to the Mini (and possibly the mouse). However, I would set up with a USB keyboard and mouse and pair the Bluetooth devices afterwards.

  • I downloaded Firefox 4.0 and it says to re-install the toolbar but I have not been successful in doing so. Can I go back to the older version? I had no trouble with that and I do not like this new version at all.

    I downloaded Firefox 4.0 and it says to re-install the toolbar but I have not been successful in doing so. I went to the forums and tried all the suggested fixes but none worked. Can I go back to the older version? I had no trouble with that and I do not like this new version at all. I tried a system restore twice and it did not fix the problem.

    I would imagine it's the MyWay Searchbar which is classified by most anti-malware scanners as adware, or even worse as spyware. I say that because I see "SmileyCentral" in your list of plugins and that's an add-on for that particular toolbar. You can disable that via Tools | Add-ons | Plugins.
    There are a number of toolbars which won't work with Firefox 4 anymore due to the enhanced protection mechanisms in the browser.
    Mozilla recommends that you only install add-ons from its own security site @ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/?browse=featured Generally speaking, those have all been tested and approved. The exceptions are those currently under review which are marked with a yellow banner to warn users that they haven't passed Mozilla's labs yet.

  • Just got a new Mac Mini with Lion - where is the downloads folder in the Window tab that is at the top of the page in Safari?  I used this a lot and really miss it!

    I just got a new Mac Mini with Lion - the Window tab at the top of the Safari Browser used to ahve a downloads folder in it along with Activity etc - but it is not there anymore. Any way to get it back or is there another location it sits in?  I used it when I'd copy video info from the activity folder and then paste into the download folder and presto - I downloaded the video onto my computer.  I really miss this capability!

    Download activity is found by clicking on the gadget on the right:
