Two Mini's Working together = More power?

Hey, i bought a mac mini when they first came, and i recently have aquired another mac mini and have no idea what do to with it. Is there a way to connect the two mini's so they can work together as one computer? Im inexperienced when it comes to networking and connecting computers and such, but what options do i have with two mac minis? Thanks

Oh yes lots of uses for a second Mini. The simplest thing to do is treat it as just more disk space. Share a folder.
Do a google on VNC. It's the free version of Apple remote desktop. With this you can access one Mini from the other. One CRT/keyboard/Mouse and two computers
Set up one Mini as an iTunes server and connect it to the stereo. Remove the monitor and control it remotel using VNC
Other uses. Set up one as a webserver and/or router.
If you use Gimp (or any other X11 program) for image editing then you can do the crunching" on one computer and the dispaly on the other.
Experiment with Linux, it would run very well on a Mini

  • How can I have two VI that works together?

    How can I mix two VI that work together ? Does it work with Flat Sequence Structure or something's?

    I've always wondered about that bracket-thingy, but I've been able to get along without it, so I don't worry about it any more.
    Why would you want to try to program a doubly-charged carbon ion (C++), anyway? It's just going to find an oxygen ion or aromatic ring to react with, no matter what you do. You're sure not going to steer it towards another cation without going to Fermilab or CERN (Yes, I understand they use LabVIEW there).

  • Two CalType not working together

    Hi,
       I have one pricing procedure. I have created two 971 & 981 routines (CalType) as per my requirements. The issue is that both the routines are not working correctly if they are assigned together is the pricing procedure. But if I assign any one of them only then they work work together.
      I tried putting the Break-Point in both the routines and found that the control is passed to the first routine i.e 971 only and not 981 when it's corresponding condition type is entered.
      I have activated both the routines nad executed the report RV80HGEN also.
      Kindly advise a solution. Thanks

  • Does two timed loop work together? is it possible....

    Hello
    I use Crio in scan mode and have problem with timed loop.  I use two timed loop for two different PID loop. I need to get 1ms delay for PID loop. But When I two run realtime side with timed loop, only one of them work (when ı send command from host side). Is it possible to run two time loop 1ms. How can I configure each timed loop work together properly? (ı configured the each time loop as synchron scan enginee 1ms)
    Both array are used for sinusoidal position data form host vi. I use time delay (1 ms) to make certain frequency with sample size(I adjust sample size for 1000 for 1 hz 500 for 2 hz).Each loop control  to position of servo system with PID. So I use two VI in my host side and I send two different sinus data with array. I tested with one timed loop it works vey well. But When I try it two time loop it dosent work.

    Two loops in parallell is quite easy, you just need two unconnected loops. If there's a wire in between you get data dependency which means the 2nd loop will wait until the 1st one finishes.
    Is that what happening to you? (I cant open the file)

  • How Rule works : Two rules not working together

    Hi All,
    I have a rule in my distribution model. But when i add another rule then the second rule works but first rule stops working.
    I want to know how to implement two Rules together. Say if i have two rules R1 and R2 in a distribution model.
    Then how to implement
    1.R1 AND R2  functionality --- means do filtering if it passes both the rules
    2.R2 OR   R2  functionality --- means do filtering if it passes any one of the rules or both the Rules
    Regards,
    Abhishek

    F1, F2 etc., are referred to the node attributes whatever you have selected in the distribution rule.
    While creating distribution rule, Second screen will be the selection of criteria fields (Node attributes) on which you want filter the data. These fields are referred by vinod as F1, F2 etc.,
    So, your data will be filtered based on the AND condition between the criteria fields used in a rule.
    So, In a specific rule AND condition will be used between the fileds.
    Between two or more rules, it will be OR condition to  filter the data.
    Regards,
    Siva.

  • How Do I get my two routers to work together?

    I have had a wrt300n 1.1 for years and it has worked wonderfully.  I have upgraded my cable to docsys 3.0 and I purchased a new modem and a D-Link825 dual band wireless router.  The problem I have is that the DIR-825 does not support xbox360 and WiFi for my droid.  The Dir-825 will not even accept the MAC address of my Droid.
    So,  can't  I use the DIR-825 for the gigabyte wan connection to the internet, disable the DHCP on the DIR-825 and use the WRT300n set up as the DHCP server use a cat5 cable to the D-Link and let the D-Link do everything else as far as the admin part of  the net goes?
    D-Link says they are working on the issues but who knows how long that will be.  I still have until the 30th of Sept to return the D-Link for a RMA.  So if you have any other suggestions as to a better router setup please let me know.  I also will be remotely administering this router and I want a secure connection through https for the remote.  I have tried using the Netgear WNDR3700 but the admin is very lowsy and not encrypted.  The access control is horrible.  I have a teenager that I have to restrict access to or they will stay up all night on her ipod and xbox.
    So fire away with any and all suggestions.  I have been a loyal Cisco fan for years because of the superior admin abilities of their wireless routers.  Additionally I have a MFC HP Printer I will use a Linksys sus4 printserver to or I may just get a wireless adapter for.  This was why I went to the DIR-825, they are the only WAP that had a usb capable of printing ant for a NAS.
    I am an MCSE so be as technical as you want, but I am not that familiar with the wireless admin.  I have looked at several more expensive routers but I am hoping to put together something more reasonbly priced than the $300.00 SOHO options.  Although that may be the direction I go.
    Thank You
    Joseph

    If you want to Cascade this both the routers to each other then you can follow this link and it will help you in cascading this both the routers.

  • Do the two GPUs work together?

    Hi
    On the new MBP do the 2 GPUs work together? So if you switch on the second GPU does it work WITH the 9400 one or instead of it?

    The high-end/low-end 2 GPU configuration Apple worked on with NVIDA for the new MacBook is not something I find beneficial either for a gamer, an Artist or for those that work in broadcast or even film production. The reason for this is if both GPU were the same then the user could use them both in SLI mode when needed which would speed up rendering and take more workload off the CPU. Any person with basic computer knowledge should know they can extend a laptops power by turing off services they don't need at the time and lower the display lighting. This can already be done on current MacBook and MacBook Pro with out a need to have a lower end GPU. As an Artist my only wish is for Apple to fire the guy who thought this design was a brilliant idea and actually hire someone that knows what Artists, gamers and broadcast/film production users want and need in a mobile solution. In my case SLI NVIDIA or ATI GPU, Blu-Ray DVD RW drive, Intel Quad Core 64-bit CPU, 17" HD non-gloss display, Firewire and a 500 GB 7200 RPM shock resistant hard drive. If they can come up with that in the next 6 months then I'll be willing to spend my hard earned money on another MacBook Pro.

  • HT1349 my iphone4s power butter do not work any more . can i change a new one in att store

    my iphone4s power butter do not work any more . can i change a new one in att store
    it gives me troubles

    outianleiz,
    Mine quits working every now and then.
    Most of the time I can fix it by doing a power button, home button reset. When that doesn't work plugging it into my computer does.
    What have you tried?
    Also I believe it is a software problem not hardware. So I would suggest not replacing it until you can get your hands on the "iOS 5.1" update. That is what I am waiting on before I calling Apple and/or ATT and raising  the roof with someone over this issue.

  • Mini displayport doesn't work any more

    My Mini Displayport doesn't work any more with VGA, DVi, just with the Apple Cinema Display. It started one week ago, I've tried many different monitors, but it seems to be that it only works with the Apple Cinema Display, Thunderbolt Ethernet Adapter is also accepted but nothing else. PRAM, SMC, booting from an Harddisk with Mavericks (I'm on 10.10.2), Safe Mode, nothing works. I have a Macbook Air, 11 " from Mid 2013, no warranty any more. Today I was at Bense, a german reseller (thank you guys for your effort), they did the same tests and some more, but also found nothing. Is there anyone with the same problems and a solution for it?
    Cheers
    Ayhan

    Does it work on the other command key? I typically use the one to the left of the space bar, and at one point of time, it stopped working. but then i started to use the command key to the right of the keyboard which worked. but, then i started using the one that wasn't working, and just clicking slowly rather than quickly, and now it seems to work again. Don't know why . . . but that is what happened for me.

    Pressing the Home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button together until you see the Apple logo and then release is called a reset.
    If no change after a reset, the next step is restoring your iPhone.
