Using a G4 Mini with a RAID

I have a 1.5Ghz G4 Mac Mini which already gets the benefit of booting to a 7200RPM Firewire drive...
Could my work benefit further by my keeping project files on a RAID set up with 2 other 7200 RPM FW drives?
anyone doing this with a mini?

You will not see a difference if doing a mirror raid (raid 1) if you were to do a raid 0 stripe or raid 5 you will see somewhat of a faster communication but both have there downfalls. I do a raid 1 because for me I do not need instant access but for server environments I do use raid 5 when multiple people are accessing the data at once

  • Using the mac mini with a dial up internet connection

    How do I go about using my mac mini with a dial up internet connection? I am soon to be moving to a rural area and dial up will be my only internet option. Please be very specific in your answer as I am not a very tech savvy fellow. Thank you for your help.

    The last time I needed to use dial up I used this amazing device from actiontec:

    Very hard to find one now, but it has the advantage that it connects to the ethernet ports of up to two computers, rather than using a less reliable usb connection.

  • Using an iPad Mini with an HDMI connected projector

    I use an iPad Mini with a projector during the seminars I present and have run into a stumbling block with regard to audio output. I am using the Apple Lightning to HDMI adapter with my LCD projector (flawlessly) and the audio from my iPad goes to the projector through the HDMI cable as well. My problem is I would like to use external speakers instead of the one built into the projector. I have tried the headphone jack of the iPad, no luck. I have tried bluetooth connected speakers for the iPad, again it won't work. Has anyone discovered a way to separate the video and audio from an HDMI output to be able to use external speakers? My guess is that the HDMI "assumes" you are using a television (with built in speakers) and not a projector (which has no provision for audio out).

    Is this the adapter you are using?

    If it is, then you have next to the HDMI socket also a Lightning socket to which you could connect any audio system with a Lightning connector.
    You may have a larger choice of audio systems for the old 30-pin connector, but then there is this solution:

    If you are using Keynote, then no, you would be fine with just the adapter and a cable hooked up to the projector.

  • Trying to record Stereo Mix with a monitor through my headphones.  Using Screenium to record Audio and Video, using Avid MBox Mini with MXL 909 Microphone for the audio through the interface.

    Basically, what I am trying to do is this:
    Record my screen through Screeenium, record my voice as audio through an Avid MBox Mini (interface) with a MXL 909 microphone to pick up the audio.  I have all that figured out.  I'm able to efficiently record my audio and screenplay through these instruments and programs.  What I am having trouble with is the stereo mix.  I am running into a slew of problems here... My goal: Add on the audio of a game that I am playing (for example, Amneisia) so that the audio for my game will be picked up internally, and not through the speakers to be recorded through the microphone.  I want there to be no external sound except me talking into my microphone.  I also want to be able to HEAR the audio of the game through my headphones (and if possible, myself as well, through a monitor maybe?)
    Problems I have run into so far:
    -Haven't gotten it to pick up in game audio at all while using headphone.  Can't figure this out
         -Downloaded soundflower, have the output as soundflower.  Not picking up anything, will put all my sound and midi settings at the end.
    -When I do record through my microphone, it is only picking up a single channel (left earpiece only, no right channel)
         -I have figured out it is NOT the equipment, I use Pro Tools and am able to pick up both channels with my mic, recorded a few tests. It's settings and I can't      figure it out
    -Trying not to run 16 million programs while running the game, will cause lag.
    Summed up:
    Trying to record:
    -Audio from gameplay of any game I am playing through alternative route of speakers (do NOT want to record game audio through speakers, internally)
    -Record voice through Avid MBox Mini and MXL 909 microphone.
    -Record screen gameplay through Screenium
    I followed a guide that told me to achieve "stereo mix'' I need to download soundflower and follow "X" steps.  That is done and these are my current settings:
    Audio Midi Setup - Stereo Mix custom Aggregate Device, Soundflower (2ch) selected, Avid Mbox Mini selected, Soundflower Output #1 has 2 channels (1-2), using Avid MBox mini for "Input" in order to record.  Using Soundflower AND Avid MBox mini as "Output" in order to hear the sounds and replay game sounds (could be the problem? Maybe?)
    Sound Settings - Output Stereo Mix (custom channel)  Input Avid MBox Mini (recording)
    I'm hoping this isn't too hard to understand.. I'm VERY bad at explaining information regarding computers.. It's hard becuase I don't understand it.  I can clarify anything that I am able to, so any help on finding certain things would be greatly appreciated.
    My computer: Macbook Pro MAC OS X Lion (11G63) 10.7.5  2.4 GHz Intel Core i7 4GB 13333 MGz DDR3  (If any of this is imporant)

    Hey guys,
    I tried to do some research and it looks like you need to have an external device and its drivers, such as an external microphone, installed on the computer to record audio that can be saved as a sound file. Another Suggestion is to try an auxiliary spliter for your headphones and external speakers?
    What software are you using to record your game?
    If anyone knows anything different, please let me know.

  • Using a Mac Mini with my Mac Pro

    I have a Mac Pro and a Mac Mini, but only one monitor and one keyboard. Can I hook up the Mac Mini so it will appear on the monitor (like another hard drive) when I am using the Mac Pro? I would like to use the Mac Mini strictly as a storage device and be able to drag files from the Mac Pro to the Mac Mini.

    Put the Mac Mini in Target Disk Mode (start while holding "T") and connect it to the Mac Pro with a FireWire cable. If you want it to always start in Target Disk Mode:

  • Possibility to use new Mac mini with an USB-DAC?

    Anybody knowing anything about the possibility to use the new Mac mini with an USB-DAC. My reason for the question is that I've heard that USB3 doesn't handle sound. I'm thinking about to buy a mac mini and use it as an HTPC and signalsource together with NAIM DAC-V1.
    // Rode orm

    What I have heard that there are a few USB2 audio devices that
    have had some issues with USB3, but USB3 itself is supposedly
    backward compatible to USB2.
    I would check with the makers of the DAC to see if there are any
    USB3 issues.

  • Using my Mac mini with my old Cube - questions

    Hey, all-
    It was my hope to use my new mini along with my old Cube (the Cube to be an additional hard drive more than anything else) but I can't seemto figure out how to make them work together. The firewire cable I have connecting the two isn't letting the mini recognize the Cube for whatever reason. And I can't see how both of them can be used in the Target Disk Mode since they connect to my Apple flat screen with different connectors.
    Hopefully, this is an easy fix somehow - I'm willing to look like a newb just as long as I can make this work.
    Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!
    Cheers,
    Kevin

    I wondered if I hard lined my Cube to it, it would be
    recognized on the desktop, yes? Or is the Target
    method the only way I would be able to "see" the
    Cube.
    When connected together with an ethernet cable, you would then need to ensure that the cube was set to allow 'sharing' (in the Sharing preference pane) and give the Cube a share name and then on the mini, in the Finder, go to Network in the Go menu, or Connect to Server in the Go menu and type in the share name given to the Cube. It may ask you for an ID and password that is valid on the Cube, but once entered, will mount the Cube's drive on the mini's desktop.
    Firewire connection is going to be a bit faster than ethernet, though for anything but large files you probably won't notice much, but the advantage of using ethernet is that you don't need to do anything to the Cube but start it normally.

  • Using the MPK Mini with Logic Pro

    Hi, I got an MPK Mini with Logic Pro.
    At first it was working fine but I left it for a couple of weeks but now when I plug it in, Logic doesn't recognise it anymore.
    I've read this http://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/controlsurfacessupport/index.html#cha pter=1%26section=1 but I still haven't been able to get it working.
    Has anyone got any ideas?

    Do you have Gear Box? If you do try launching Gear Box then see if it works.

  • Can I use a Mac mini with a VGA monitor?

    The Mac mini web page lists an Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter as an accessory, but the Mac mini doesn't appear to have a Mini DisplayPort.
    The Mac mini also has an HDMI to DVI Adapter included, but would this allow a VGA monitor to be connected via an additional DVI to VGA cable? ie. can the HDMI port provide an analogue signal that a VGA monitor can receive?

    Some Mac Minis do have mini-DisplayPorts.  In these two it is between the HDMI and the USB ports:
    (yes Thunderbolt should accept mini-Displayport).
    In this one it is between the Mini-DVI and the USB ports:
    Only the oldest Intel models would you need a different adapter to VGA
    Those you would need a DVI to VGA adapter from Apple such as this one.  Note, DVI to VGA is converting digital to analog, and not very useful, unless your TV has neither DVI nor HDMI.  DVI is much better converted up to HDMI.  And the audio would have to come in separately.  So depending on your display model and make, you may be asking for the wrong adapter.  VGA is fine if all you are going to do is view DVDs on an old TV.  But if you want the ability to use the Dock, menubar, etc..., it is good to have a 1080p TV with built-in HDMI or better.

  • Using a Mac Mini with an iMac (11,1)

    Hi,
    I am considering buying a Mac Mini to replace an old netbook I use as a development server.  The old netbook runs Ubuntu and was a cheap but excellent machine that I utilized to develop customized software.  Unfortunately that machine is starting to fall apart and I am considering replacing it with a Mac Mini instead of another cheap netbook.  However, the price difference is considerable (about 2x) so I am looking to keep the cost down by only buying the Mac Mini and using my iMac to initially set up the machine on the network.  What I want to do is use the iMac’s screen, keyboard and mouse to first connect to the Mini, set up it up to connect to my network and activate the ability to remotely access the Mini.  Once I do that, I can use screen sharing to operate the Mini whenever necessary, correct?  However, I am unsure if my iMac (model 11,1) can be utilized as a target display for the Mac Mini.  If I connect the Mac Mini to my iMac’s DisplayPort, will I be able to do what I want?  And what about my keyboard and mouse?  Do I have to unpair them from the iMac and pair them with the Mac Mini to be able to control the Mac Mini (only the first time I do this...).  Anyone have any experience or thoughts they could share?

    That's correct.  It's sooooo much simpler to just borrow a keyboard/mouse from a PC or have another set for pairing.  It's tricky getting the existing set off the iMac and on to the Mini, first you have to have it on the iMac to enter Target Mode Display, (CMD F2).  Now how do you disconnect or unpair it from the iMac?  If you turn it off and on, it reconnects to the iMac,  If you disconnect it before switching, you can't enter TMD...  then the problem of getting it back...
    Too many headaches, I just borrowed a usb mouse/keyboard off a PC to config and then returned it. 

  • Anyone using an intel mini with Panasonic HD plasma?

    Any of you using a mini (intel or G4) with a panansonic plasma, more to the point a 42PX60?
    Just wondered what kind of results you were getting for home cinema is there a HDMI connector for the mac mini that can be used?
    Wouldn't be using the mini on the plasma for normal use, but thought it would be good for hooking up for divx/avi etc without having to burn onto discs.
