TS4001 I have two mac mini, my safari bookmarks aren't syncing

Both my OSX are update. I signed in preference on both machines. I dont know why it isn't working.
It is for my wife account, i'm trying to help her

Well, I went through all the various online suggestions to get my Safari Bookmarks to sync up between my 3 computers but it's a FAIL. Period. I'm running latest software: Lion 10.7.2 and Safari 5.1.2. I decided to sign up for Xmarks and that works perfectly. Apple could learn something from these guys. So, don't torture yourself trying to de-bug iCLoud Bookmarks syncing... it simply doesn't work reliably for most users. Google Xmarks and give it a try. Xmarks will NOT sync your mobile Safari's bookmarks, though. But, Xmarks is free, so no complaints!

Two Mac Minis one with Airport and one without..and an Airport extreme

Please advise..I have two Mac Minis. One is older with no Airport card and one is newer and came with an air port inside. I also have an Airport Extreme and A Speedstream 5100 Ethernet ADSL modem. Here's the deal: I connected the old MacMini with no airport to the AirPort Exreme via LAN port. I also connected the Speedstream 5100 modem via ethernet cable to Airport Exreme. I can get onto the internet on the old Mac Mini with this set up. However, I cannot get the new Mac Mini's Air Port to work or "see" the network. Not sure what to do next...

I also connected the Speedstream 5100 modem via ethernet cable to Airport Exreme.
Just to double-check. Do you have the Speedstream connected to the WAN (circle-of-dots) port on the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn)?
However, I cannot get the new Mac Mini's Air Port to work or "see" the network.
Which radio mode to you have the AEBSn configured for? The default is "802.11n (b/g compatible)". Also, which wireless encryption are you using? Do you have the AEBSn configured to not broadcast its Network Name (SSID)? ... or using MAC filtering?

We have two iPads. mine is the first one purchased. I opened iTunes to put some photos from the Mac to my wife's iPad. I plugged in my wife's iPad. Both ipads have the same apple id and password. iTunes synced everything from my iPad to my wife's iPad. Now we have two identical iPads looking like mine. Everything on her ipad seems gone and replaced with mine, all her recent holiday photos, emails, settings, etc etc seem gone.
I'm toast!

I have two .mac addresses; how does this work in iCloud?

This is not about consolidating Apple ID's... I think.
When I got my first .mac address, I thought I picked a good one at the time. Later on, due to the peculiar spelling, I opted for an additonal (paid) address which I use every day. Now the first one (which is an Apple ID) contains my calendars, contacts, etc. I never use the email portion of it, again because of challenging spelling. The second .mac address (also an Apple ID) is an email only account. This is the email account I use daily.
When I make the transition to iCloud, I intend to keep my original AppleID (from the pre-.mac days) as my iTunes store ID.
My question is, what happens with my two other accounts?
.mac #1 with the contacts and such would move to iCloud and sync everything there as it currently does with MobileMe. Since .mac #2 is an email only account, would I even need to bother moving it to iCloud (if that's even possible), or would I just keep using that as email only using the current mail settings on my iThingys and Mac? Does anyone know if .mac #2 will live on after MobileMe vanishes, or will I loose my daily and coveted .mac email at that time?
I'm sure Apple has a good reason for not allowing us to just consolidate everything in one place, but I know there are many out there with a similar situation to mine.
I've spent a good deal of time tonight searching the various threads and can't seem to find an answer to the two .mac email dilemma. My appologies if it's already been discussed.
To sum up, I have one Apple ID that I use for iTunes and intend to keep as such. I have two .mac addresses which are also Apple ID's; one that syncs with MobileMe and one that is email only. I would like to use iCloud to sync what is currently on MobileMe, AND continue to use the simpler email address that I've been using for years.
Am I screwed??
Thanks in advance for your help, and Happy Holidays to all!!

Migrate the account which contains your calendars, contacts etc. first, at http://me.com/move and set it up on your Mac and devices.
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html
Now migrate the email-only account in the same way. On a Mac you can add it in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts & Calendars - it won't sync anything but will be added to the accounts in Mail where you can then use the email in the normal way.
I don't know what the equivalent process on an iOS device is; very likely you need to add it as an account in the Mail app.

I have two Macs and I am using the same Apple ID on both. All of my info, history etc is showing up on both. How do I turn this off?

You likely have iCloud turned on in at least Safari. If you don't want Safari to sync between these devices turn one of them off. System Preferences - iCloud - Safari (uncheck the box)

If I have a Mac Mini ( no Disk Drive ) Can I Still Use Boot Camp ?

Hi, I have a ma mini... but i have came to a conclusion that I have no disk drive... so can i still use bootcamp ? I was wondering because all of the tutorials I watch, they tell me to insert my disk into the disk drive.
-Thanks for The Help

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
If you have a Mac mini without a built-in SuperDrive, you have two ways to install Windows on your Mac using Boot Camp:
- If you have Windows in a ISO file > open Boot Camp Assistant, tick the option to create a Windows installation USB drive and follow the steps.
- If you have Windows in a DVD > buy an external optical drive, connect it to your computer, open Boot Camp Assistant and follow the steps to install Windows.
Don't forget to download Windows support software, and install it just after finishing the Windows installation.
If you need help installing Windows, print this file > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.7.pdf

Have a mac mini. Just got a external HD. I want to store my itunes media on my external HD and play back on Windows XP laptop. My laptop does not recognize the HD. Only recognizes the empty partition I created on my mac when I partition the drive. What's

I have a mac mini-snow leopard. I recently bought an external HD. I want to use part of the HD to back up my mac via Time Machine. The other part I want to use to store my Itunes and other media such as movies with VLC so that I can take the HD and play it back thru my windows XP laptop. The problem is that my laptop does not see the part of the external drive that has my mac info stored on it. Only sees the drive ( as drive E ) with zero data that was created by me when I partitioned it on my mac. I partitioned the drive in two. One partitioned under GUID for mac. The other part under exfat for windows. Any suggestions on why my XP laptop cannot view the mac info on the HD. Thanks.

you'll have to install e.g. MacDrive or HFS+ for Windows on your winsloth machine.

I have a mac mini and just purchased a moshi hdmi connector for my LED TV. The problem is, I wanted to be able to take my mouse from one screen to another, not just as a mirror image! Is it possible to do this some how?

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own.

Does anyone have a Mac Mini (MID-2007) with wifi that works?

Does anyone have a Mac Mini (MID-2007 C2D) which wifi works?
It seems that Mac Mini has different models and some have a Broadcom Wifi card and some Atheros WIFI card. I'm trying to find user whom Mac Mini 2007 with atheros card works. Since os x 10.6 and 10.7 my wifi have not worked at all. I even changed internal antenna. Also attached external antenna on WIFI cards ext port. Still very poor connection. Also sometimes when my mac wakes from sleep country code of WIFI card is US not FI as rest of my family macs. WIFI is made with apple extreme router (802.11n). 2.4 and 5 Ghz networks. I do not have network interference. With Minimac Atheros card has support b and g network with 2.4 Ghz and a network with 5 ghz. Signal ratio is average -80 dbm, and speed varies from 6-36. Both a and g networks work same way on minimac. When I turn machin on wifi is usable about 1-2 minutes then latency will rice and after that timeout will occur on network. Still mac mini is connected to network.
Atheros firmware is: 5424: 2.1.14.9
Card: Airport Extreme (0x168c, 0,86)
Location: ETSI
Country: FI
Security: NONE
PHY: 802.11a
There are a lot of guides on net how to get it working; eg. change older OS kext, remove preferences, install os again (done all that, nothing works, but older kext files seem to work little better). But does any one have a Mac Mini with working wifi. What brand is your router and is the card in minimac original Atheros. Broadcom seems to operate Apple Extreme router quite well.

My Mac Mini Mid 2007 has the same specs:
Card: AirPort Extreme (0x168c, 0x86
Firmware: Atheros 5424: 2.1.14.9
Ever since I upgraded to 10.7.2, my WiFi has been running painfully slowly. Same issue: it works okay for a minute or two, but then slows to a crawl, with network timeouts, etc. And it shows I'm still connected to the network. It gets particularly bad when waking from sleep, unless I quit my web browser first, then put the machine to sleep. (Waking the machine with browser still "launched" causes big problems.)
Has anyone figured out a workaround for this issue?

Connecting two Mac minis and using one monitor

I am thinking about getting two Mac minis to run concurrently, accessing both on the same Thunderbolt Display (also to be acquired) using screen sharing and connecting the two Macs via firewire (or thunderbolt).
I have certain programs I need to run in Windows (Bloomberg terminal and MS Excel in Windows version) but don't want to run them in parallel on one computer as (in my experience) the performance is very slow.
By running two computers at the same time, I'm hoping that can avoid the entire system griding to a halt. I also think it will allow me to upgrade more cheaply as the Mac mini is improved over time.
Is this a completely daft idea? Would I be better off with a new iMac or a refurbish Mac Pro?
Any feedback is welcome, even of the abusive variety.

"File sharing preferences" is indeed how to do it. Connect both minis to your router (one by ethernet cable, one by wifi, it doesn't matter.)
Then turn on "File Sharing" in Sharing Prefs on both minis. Also, give them both meaningful, different names under "Computer Name".
Then, when you open a finder window on one mini, the other one should appear under "Shared", like this:

Bluetooth and two mac minis

I have a Mac Mini PowerPC which I have a dlink bluetooth adapter for and I just got a new Mac Mini Intel Core Duo with build-in bluetooth.
I would like to buy a cheap KVM that can handle the DVI so I can share a monitor and I was wondering how I could use a one bluetooth mouse and keyboard between both computers. I currently use a USB keyboard and mouse and a KVM w/DVI and USB is expensive. Does anyone have any experience using bluetooth as an alternative to a USB KVM switch on two computers running at the same time. How would I move back and forth between computers using bluetooth? Before I buy a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, I was just wondering if any one out there had tried it and how well it worked? Or should I forget the bluetooth and buy a KVM w/ DVI and USB support.

In this instance I've found it easier to go all-USB rather than switching bluetooth around; use a cheap KVM switch and you can go back and forth instantly from machine to machine using the same keyboard, mouse and monitor. Set up the older machine to share its DVD drive over your LAN and you're good to go.
Another solution that works really well is to use Teleport by abyssoft.com. It's a pref pane that automatically shares your BT devices between different Macs. For example, f I have my laptop set up next to my iMac and both running the software. I'm using a wired keyboard and BT mouse. If I move the cursor to the left of the iMac's screen it automagically jumps to the laptop's screen, and I continue working on the laptop with the same keyboard and BT mouse. It even will carry across clipboard items from one machine to another. Super cool, and works especially well if both computers have their own monitor (if both share the same monitor you would still have to either run one headless with screen sharing, or use a hardware monitor switch (BTW, some monitors can take two inputs and use a button to switch say between VGA and HDMI, or even switch automatically. Maybe you're lucky enough to have one of those).

One APC UPS power supply to two Mac Mini via one USB control cable

Is it possible to use one APC UPS to control two Mac Mini to shut down when on UPS? The APC unit only has one USB control cable.

I wouldn't buy a PSU today for a high-performance system for any reason unless all of the voltage rails were separately supplied. AFAIK, only the Antec TruePower series and the PC Power & Cooling psu's can make that claim. Everyone else splits between the 5v and 3v rails, it seems to me--ie, with shared voltage rails the problem can be that when either the 3v or 5v rail demands more power then power is leeched from the shared rail to compensate. If devices on the shared rail need the power, though, then the voltage dip can cause problems with the devices on that rail and system instability (BSOD, etc.) can result. When all of your rails are powered seperately, though, all you have to consider is buying the psu that supplies the maximum you anticipate needing for each rail (with some headroom of course) and you eliminate the shared-rail power dip (a fairly common, often misdiagnosed problem) as a potential problem in your system.
No question PCP&C makes the best psu's money can buy, but I opted for the Antec True-Power 550 True Control instead simply because I can buy two TP550's for the price of one equivalent PCP&C cpu, and the TP 550 offers a few bells and whistles not offered by PCP&C (such as the intake fan which helps cool the TP 550's innards and improves its efficiency.) All psu's lose efficiency the higher their internal temps go, but of them all the PCP&C psus are the least affected by efficiency loss generated by rising operating temperatures--which is probably why they don't need a separate intake cooling fan like the TP 550. But the TP 550 has the intake fan nonetheless and is 1/2 the price of the PCP&C psu, and if memory serves the Antec fans are a good deal more quiet than the single fan used by PCP&C. So it's just a matter of studying the specs and the prices and choosing the one you want. But I'd constrain myself to these two brands because neither shares voltage rails internally.

I have a Mac mini OSX 10.4.11 Intel Core Duo, 512mb, 1.83 GHz with iTunes 9.0.3. What steps do I need to take to get my music library to my iPad. I dont think I meet the requirements to just upgrad to snow leopard and/or lion. I want the music I paid for

I have a Mac mini OS X 10.4.11, intel core duo processor (not core 2 duo), with 512 mb and 1.83 GHz processor. I only have version 9.0.3 of iTunes because it hasn't let me go higher, which I believe is because of the operating system. I want to get my purchased music from the Mac mini to a different computer (that has the latest version of iTunes) and also my iPad. The Mac mini does not meet the requirements listed to simply upgrade to snow leopard or lion. As far as I can tell. Forgive me if I am lacking here...this is new to me. What can I do to get the music transferred. I have invested alot of money over the past few years on all this music that I should be able to transfer. Thank you in advance if you can help me.

If you want to sync it to the iPad from that Mac, you need to upgrade it to at least 10.5.8.
If you want to copy the music to another Mac, you don't. Move the iTunes folder of the item in the Finder's sidebar over as you would any other folder. If you put it somewhere other than the Music folder, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and point it to that location.

i have a mac mini mid 2011, this device have; 2,3GHz and 2 Gb Memmory.I want to upgrade the memory and i need the list of supported memory modules. i am from turkey.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The Mid 2011 Mac mini supports 8 GB of memory officially, but you can install up to 16 GB of RAM, so you can use 2, 4 and 8 GB modules. You can buy more RAM from OWC or Crucial.
If you are looking for memory at a local shop, make sure you buy 1333 MHz DDR3 memory. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4432?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
