Tune My Mini With OSX
I've just read, that you can 'tune' you iPod with windows. There are programs like iPodlinux (www.ipodlinux.org) (for more features) GoogleGet (The latest news on you iPod) iPodWizard (for changing fonts and graphics) and MarksMan (for bookmarks). My question is... Can you tune your iPod with programs like this, if you have OSX and you don't have windows...?
The three Rs to IOS, try them in order until the issue is resolved;
Restart - Press and hold the Power button until the red Power Off stripe appears. Swipe to power off. Press and hold the Power button to turn the device back on.
Reset - Press & hold the Power and Home buttons simultaneously, ignoring the red power off slider, until the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons.
Restore - Connect the device to the Mac or PC with which it is usualy synced and use the iTunes app to restore the device to the factory settings. You can then restore the device with a previously made backup or set it up as new.

Mac Mini with OSX server still OK?
HI All,
I was going to purchase the mac mini that was geared up to work best with OSX server however that option is now no longer available and the mac mini's have downgraded slightly in terms of quadcore processors and 2tb harddrives.
We run a small design studio, file sharing is becoming a large hinderance on workflow and I thought OSX server sounded like a good solution for someone with little knowledge of the area. We have four imacs, and three macbooks. Our team is growing fairly quick and that number should double next year.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks,Just get the latest mac mini, add some external storage with a Thunderbolt 2 connection and that setup will work great for filesharing.
You will get gigabit network speeds and since it's Thunderbolt 2 the mac mini will have no problem to serve those files across the network.
Make sure you get external storage with a decent RAID setup like a Promise Pegasus for instance, and invest in a good back-up solution.
Then clone your mac mini OSX Server setup daily towards the RAID and you're good to go!
Get a Mac Mini with an SSD or Fusion Drive and 16GB of RAM. That'll keep you going for the next couple of years easy!
Goodluck!

Will Mac Mini with OSX Server 10.6 Snow Leopard be able to fit my needs?
Hello,
The office i work in is a Mac environment.
Is this unit powerful enough to support 20 people? This is the setup i was thinking:
Mac mini with Snow Leopard Server - 2.66GHz : Dual 500GB:
1st Internal drive - OS only
2nd Internal drive - OS backup via CarbonCopyCloner
Ministack USB drive - Data backup via Time Machine (file shares etc on server from services)
Firewire DroboPro 16TB - Client Time Machine Backups via the Network.
Would the Mac Mini be powerfull enough to support normal OS X Server services, and at the same time act as a client Time-Machine backup via the network?
Thanks,
-MikeThe answer to your question depends on how many of the services you intend to offer.
If you are just going to use the Mini as a File, Print, and directory server, then it will work fine.
If you intend it to run as your web, email, database, and iChat server, you might be pushing things a bit much.
Your drive layout looks appropriate for a simple file server, so I would tentatively say yes, it looks like it would do what you currently require.

Will I have OSX Server in my App Store if I buy a "Mac Mini with OSX Server"?
I am planning on buying Mac Mini for a Home Media Server, and I am curious if the OSX Server will be added to my account. Or do you think I would better get the same system configuration without the OSX Server, then buy it from the App Store? Is there going to be a difference between the two different processes.
It won't automatically be added to your account unless you supply your account details when you buy. But once you've received your server you can phone Apple Sales and give your details (including order number or server serial number) and they should add Server to your account for you.
What you actually get will be identical. -
Late 2012 Mac mini with OSX 10.8.2 has started shutting down instead of going into sleep mode.
Sometime in the last week or so my mac mini has started going into full shut down instead of sleep mode.
I have tried checking and unchecking energy saver boxes but haven't found anything which will get me back to where I used to be - and I haven't knowingly changed anything to make this happen.- maybe an OS update caused it?
The machine will fire up with a tablet click rather than needing the reset button to be pushed so clearly the machine is sort of halfway between sleep and full 'off'. Most frustrating as one of the key issues for me in getting this my first mac was its easy sleep and super quick fire up compared to windows.
Any help appreciated
Oh yes I just remembered that I did just install 2 8gb of crucial RAM (to replace the supplied 2 2gb but surely that can't have anything to do with it - can it)?Adding to my first post I can now advise that when the mac goes into sleep mode the light on the front stays on (it does not pulse so clearly it is not really sleeping).
When i click the tablet / keyboard this is actually what triggers the mac to reboot
I have tried resetting the SMC as per the following link to no avail

System crashing - Mini with OSX 10.3.9
Hello all-
Woke up this morning to do a little surfing and Safari was immediately bringing the grey crash/restart screen. I tried to research this cause, and installed the 1.3.1 update. Still crashed. Went to disk utility, tried to verify permissions, crashed halfway through. Tried to repair permissions, crashed halfway through, several times. Can't make it all the way through. (No other apps running) Finally it has stabilized enough to log on and post this. Oh also, checked Mail, and all my old mail was marked 'unread.'
Please help asap, if you would like to see crash logs please give specific names and locations as I see there are many of them and I am quite new to OSX.
Thanks! HansTry the following:
Boot from your OS X Installer. Be sure to use the installer for the version of OS X you have installed. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (or Utilities menu if using Tiger.) After DU loads select your OS X volume from the list on the left, click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (3.0.3 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.0.6 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X. -

Can osx mavericks server cooperate with osx snow leopard?
can I make global adress book and mail server with older osx I mean OSX Snow Leopard on mac mini with osx mavericks server?
can I use this disk to reformat my hard drive
Yes.
As well, if I do reformat - do I have to tell my Time Machine to do something special to make a backup for reformatting? Or does it automatically make a backup that I can use to reinstall everything on my newly reformatted computer?
Restore from the Time Machine backup afterwards, either from the Utilities menu or the Migration Assistant.

Editing a document done in Word 2004. I can't remove lines done in Word. Using Mac Mini with 10.9.4
I am unable to a remove lines from a document originally done in 2004 using Mac Word 2004 while running it on Pages. Using Mac Mini with OSX 10.9.4.
Tried to delete lines. Delete is not highlighted in Pages.

The line could possibly be an underline or a paragraph border or a line which is a separate object underneath the rest of the text.
Probably it is a paragraph border.

Mac Mini (Jan 2013) with OSX 10.9.2 fails to start thunderbolt display
This is getting very annoying and is costing me valuable working hours!
I sit down to work, but have to spend hours getting my Mac Mini turn on and connect to my thunderbolt display again after having been in sleep mode or shut down. The only way I can make sure that the Mac Mini can wake the display again, is to physically remove the power from both devices and leave them off for many hours.
The problems began at some point after installing Maverick. Before that, everything was working without a hitch.
It is not the thunderbolt screen that is to blame. If I plug it into my MB 17'' with OSX 10.9.2, it turns on and works like a charm.
I've tried everything. Resetting PRAM, Resetting SMC, new cables, you name it. The only thing that works is to pull the plug on the devices and continue to work on my trusty Mac Book.
I can see that others are having similar issues and has had them for years.
Perhaps NOW is a good time to fix this mess Apple! Don't you think?vooid,
You are not speaking directly to Apple on these forums, Apple does not read or participate in them in any fashion. We are all end-user volunteers just like you . Den.thed has offered valid advice, if you have AppleCare (highly recommended) you can call AppleCare for telephone support. If you don't know that number you can begin locating it by clicking http://support.apple.com/kb/he57. If you don't have AppleCare you are still eligible as long as your machine is 1 year old (purchase date) or less. If you go 366 days, you cannot get AppleCare. In addition to the telephone support it extends the warranty from 1 to 3 years.
Good luck. -
moving a drive with OSX to another computer? take it out of my Mac pro laptop and into my mac mini. can with be done with no OS/Hardware issues?

Thanks; however, I was really referring to this: if it is preinstalled on a Mac, I believe the license is for that computer only (unlike an MAS purchased version which can be used on any Mac owned). Has that requirement changed?
At this moment, that's correct. The OS X license included with a Mac can only be used with that Mac. However, in the case the OP has purchased OS X Mountain Lion in the past, this may change -

When I work with a drive to boot many computers, I use the newest model computer I will be booting, and set the system up on that, run all the Apple updates. Normally I will have no issue booting any older computer with the same drive. Unless of course those older computers do not support the operating system on that drive.
If you want to test if the drive will boot the mac mini. Put your MacBook Pro into target mode. Connect the two computers together. And on the Mac Mini, go into system preferences and then under start up disk and see if the target disk mode computer's drive shows up there. Seelct that drive and restart. See if it boots ok. A bit easier then taking the drives out and moving things around. -

HT2476 new Mac mini, outdated iDVD and iMovie HD with OSX 10.8.2; fix ?
I have a brand new Mac mini and during set up I imported settings from a Macbook running 10.5.8; now the iDVD and iMovie HD apps are outdated and the settings do not allow updates to the current version compatible with OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.2;
How do I fix this?In my case, the .dmg can only be installed if iLife 08 is installed, so I install iLife 08 (nothing works from that in ML, but it doesn't matter), then install the 6.04 .dmg, and then update the entire iLife with 09 and then 11, running software update in between. At that point, every app works. During that process, the new iMovie versions will be installed and automatically create a previous version folder for 6.04.
Right now I have a Powerbook G4.
I'll be purchasing a new iMac (Mountain Lion) in the coming months. I would like to put both iMovie HD6 and the last version of iDVD on it. I've read numerous threads on the iDVD installation. I'm trying to make sure I understand all the steps to getting both applications installed and working correctly.
I have the install disks for
iLife 08 (says it can install on both PPC and Intel Macs)
iLife 09 (with iDVD)
iLife 11 (older version with iDVD)
I certainly remember disliking iMovie 7 and therefore used the download from Apple to revert back to 6.0.4 on my Powerbook. I did a search and happened to find in my Library an installer package labeled iMovie HD6 (the file info says version 6.0.4 and it's dated Feb 2008). Is this what I would have used to go back to iMovie HD6 from iMovie 7? I also found a ton of other installer packages that I had no idea my powerbook must have automatically saved. Included were numerous iDVD 7 update installers.
So would I take these steps on the new iMac with Mountain Lion?
Use the iLife 08 disk to do a custom install of only iMovie (or does the 6.0.4 installer only work if you've installed the entire iLife 08?)
Run the installer package iMovieHD6 to revert from iMovie 7 to HD6
Use the iLife 09 disk to do a custom install of iDVD
Update iDVD by running the update packages and then using the iLife 11 disk to ensure I get all the themes available for iDVD
Run software update to bring everything up-to-date
I happened to do an install of only iDVD from iLife 11 (iDVD) on another IMac running Mountain Lion and found that I had no choice but to install iPhoto along with it. Since that was an older version I then had to do a reinstall of the current iPhoto from the App store.
Do these steps sound logical? -
Does a mac mini 2007 with osx 10.6.8 supports 10.7?
I have a friend who has a Mac Mini 2007 with osx 10.6.8, and he wants to upgrade 10.7 for different reasons, does the mac mini supports it?
Processor: Core 2 duo 2GHz
RAM: 2 DDR2
ThanksUpgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
