What is the highest OS for the original mac mini?

I have a G4 Mac mini with OS X 10.4 installed. What is the highest level OS that will run on this machine? And what is the highest level OS that can switch over into OS9?
Thanks-
Robin

1. Mac OS X 10.5.8.
2. The capability to boot Mac OS 9 natively depends on the computer's hardware and isn't a function of Mac OS X. The last Mac OS X version to support running it in emulation is 10.4.11.

What does the new mac mini really look like? raised or not?

looking at the images on the mac mini page http://www.apple.com/macmini/ it clearly shows the mini with it's front edge resting on the ground in all the images from the front. the reflections touch. but when you follow the 'Design' link it shows that the new mini is resting on a raised foot, so it floats.
i'm pretty sure the floating version is the real version, but why the inconsistency?

it's not an optical illusion. it's just wrong in the images. i agree with the people who made the illustrations, it looks better when it's flat on the ground and not floating.

that gives you a better idea of what the new mac mini looks like from the front in a similar angle to the images on apples site. notice the very large gap between the reflection and the front face of the mini. also notice the large black shadow caused by the mini being raised up on the black circular foot on it's base. There isn't an angle that you you can move the camera to that would eliminate the shadow or distance between the reflection and the case and still see the front face as you do in the images.
it's just an odd inconsistency that misrepresents what the final product looks like.

What about the cheaper mac mini?

Sorry for not aksing this in my other thread. But in the 1.83 Mac Mini The Disc Dive in let you burn cds and DVDs? Dvds is nota big deal but i assume it has a CD drive.
Am I correct?

Yes, the 1.83 model has a 'combo' drive that reads and writes CDs and CD-RW, but only reads, not writes, DVDs.

Original Mac mini and 1680 x 1050 resolution

I have one of the original Mac mini's with the ATI Radeon 9200 graphics card. Can this be used with a 22" 1680 x 1050 DVI or VGA display?

My PPC 1.42 w/1g RAM works fine with my Dell 22" widescreen at 1680x1050 utilizing VGA input, BUT will not reliably display the same using DVI as connection method. It acts as if it is overwhelming the system using DVI.
Not the display...I had it replaced.

What were the original speakers for the G3 B&W PowerPC?

I am looking to get a set of speakers to go with the cherry 21" CRT Studio Display I picked up (it still has the clear plastic on the apple logos). What are the original speakers that would have been available for this computer? Will any of the the harmon kardon spheres or sound sticks work with this mac? What is a Digital Sound Port (is it just a fancy way of saying L/R/Ground/DC-Power on a four-pin jack like the appletalk mics)? Is USB 1.0 fast enough to run the spheres that were available with the G4 Cube? I am seeking historical accuracy without going beige. Any oldtimers that can remember that far back please offer your sugestions.
Hooked on the Shape

Hi, funkymonkeypie -
The B&W G3 models did not come with any external speakers as a standard option; the only speaker they came with was the built-in mono one.
All Macs prior to the G4 Digital Audio model (except the Cube) had analog sound out ports. The Cube had a special external USB amplifier arrangement.
Not positive, but I believe the USB ports on the B&W G3 were USB 1.1, not 1.0, and are the same as the ones on the Cube. Don't know if the amp and speakers that came with the Cube will work on the B&W.
Don't know the answers to your other questions - perhaps someone else will post in with those.

What was the original software for iMac G5 17" 1.6GHz?

I acquired an iMac G5 17" from a friend but it's missing the software. When I turn the computer on it gets stuck at this screen with a folder icon with a blinking question mark in the middle of it. What software originally came with the iMac G5 and is it possible to get that still? Or can I install a newer version of software without additional problems?

The original Mac OS X version was 10.3.5. You can also install 10.4 or 10.5 from a retail DVD and not one which shipped with a Mac.

I bought MacBook Pro a year back I want to know what were the original specs of hardware of this product as I believe that I have been cheated s

Hi, I bought this MacBook Pro a year back , as I am not a professional and for me Apple is a brand that one can buy any product while eyes shut. I told the sales man at the iStore is DHA, Sector H, Lahore/Pakistan, that I am new to apple and reason to buy this product is that I am going to learn 3dMax and Autocad and photoshop on this machine. He reccomended me this machine that I am using right now. After a year when I found a graphic instructor he checked the hardware and he said that the processor is very old and he was surprised. Herer are the specs :
MacBook Pro
Model Identifier:          MacBookPro7,1
Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:          2.4 GHz
Number Of Processors:          1
Total Number Of Cores:          2
L2 Cache:          3 MB
Memory:          4 GB
Bus Speed:          1.07 GHz
Boot ROM Version:          MBP71.0039.B0B
SMC Version (system):          1.62f6
Serial Number (system):          WQ03******ATM
Sudden Motion Sensor:
State:          Enabled
He said that knowing that I am going to use this machine for graphics, they have actually fooled you, Kindly tell me what are the original specs of this machine S# . I believe that iStores are licensed , kindly help me out, I have given a complete price , but it seems i just paid huge price of Apple sign and the body of this machine. Please help me and tell me how to take actions . I will really appreciate.
Thanks

Apple does not provide support via email or publish email contact addresses. You will have to use the other channels that are offered.
What question(s) do you still want to ask? At worst, you bought a MacBook Pro that had just been discontinued after ten months in production. A week or two before you bought it, it was still the latest 13" model. If you bought it at the very beginning of last February, it was still the latest model then, and the seller didn't know any more than you did about the new models that would be released later that month. While it is a common practice among Mac resellers to offer a small discount on discontinued models after new models are released, resellers are under no obligation to do so, and in any case it is always up to the buyer to determine exactly what he or she is buying and to research whether or not it's fit for his or her purpose. Apparently you didn't do either. If you have any grounds at all for a dispute (which is doubtful in my view), the dispute is with the local reseller, not with Apple, who does not control the pricing or practices of resellers.
You are probably finding, or have already found, that a 13-inch MBP with only integrated graphics processing is inadequate for the uses you hope to make of it. You will need a more powerful machine with a discrete graphics processor and a larger screen for the work you have in mind. Even the current 13" MBPs wouldn't suffice for that — a 15" MBP is the minimum that would do. Sell your machine to someone whose work will be less demanding, and get a new MBP that will meet your needs.

What is the best Mac for gaming?

Ok so as the title says, I was wondering what is the best Mac for gaming, I would like to play at least some old games which I have laying around the house when I'm at the airport or whatever. I read that macs are not that good at gaming but they do work at some degree :P
Also I was wondering, me and my friend were arguing why is a Mac not considered a PC. I my arguments where that a PC means it has all that nasty, heavy, big hardware, with all the cards and stuff and that a mac just has the slick monitor with some stuff in it :P and a keyboard/mouse. His arguments were that even if macs only have the stuff mentioned above, it should still be considered a PC since it is afterall a Personal Computer.
Thanks a lot and hopefully you'll settle my argument and aswear my question.

Best computer for gaming is always the one with the highest specs. But generally speaking, a base macbook does ok. The major piece you need to increase FPS on a mac is a video card though, so generally the Pros or iMacs will be a better choice.
Your friend is right, PC = Personal Computer. Mac's run the exact same hardware as a PC, just run different OS's. But its a term that got misplaced with windows in the flame wars of every forum post. P.S. Mac pros are a tower with no screen, just like the traditional windows ones.

What's the best Mac Pro config for Fireworks?

What's the best Mac config for Fireworks?
I can pretty much get whatever Mac I want at work... My boss is sick and tired of watching Fireworks crash all the time... I figure a hefty processor and lots of RAM and maybe a SSD will help…
I should get a Mac Pro right? Which processor?
• Two 2.40GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon processors (12 cores)
• Two 2.66GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon processor (12 cores)
• Two 3.06GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon (12 cores)
Should I get 24GB RAM?? Or is that overkill?
I'll get a 2TB serial hard drive…
I should get a 512 GB solid state drive offered by Apple right?
Or is it possible to get a larger better 3rd party SSD?
And then maybe two 21" Displays… Two 27s seems a little much… or does it?
Thanks in advance.

Oh and what about video cards? Or is Apple's default ok? (I'm not doing hard core PhotoShop retouching or anything).

What is the best mac for me? (budget: 1299$)

What is the best mac for me? I will use it for:
- Game programming and development
- School research
- Word proccessing
- Presentations
- Programming in Java
- Programming in C++
- Programming Iphone games and Objective-C
- Gaming
So can you tell me as fast as you can, my budget is 1299$

FYI: Macs are not gaming machines.
PERSONAL OPINION: Nothing beats Microsoft (PCs) and/or Sony when it comes to gaming. Macs can play games. However, if you are a gamer, get a PC.

What's the best Mac for running Final Cut Pro X?

Title says it all. What's the best Mac for running Final Cut Pro X? I'm not looking to make a feature length hollywood film. But I'd like to be able to edit video without lag.

Yes. Begin with the fastest processor / graphics card / and as much RAM as you can afford. (As all three will become obsolete over time.)
I started from scratch. I have a 27-inch iMac with a 3.4 G Intel Core i7. (currently the fastest processor for an iMac) I also ordered the best graphics card--AMD Ratheon HD. I ordered 16G of RAM, but recently added more RAM to equal 24G. (OWC makes good after-market RAM for iMACs.)
Last, I ordered a flash drive / SATA hard drive combo. (250G on flash / ITB on SATA). The OS and all of my applications run off the flash drive. (for fast start up!)
I put all of my media and FCP projects onto the SATA hard drive.
Now, I had the option to order a 2TB SATA. But, I realized I can always buy more external storage as I edit more and more projects. ALSO! FCPX is GREAT when it comes to editing projects on external drives! I can segregate an entire project and its media files onto a removeable drive. I simply launch FCPX, plug in the drive and--poof!--I'm ready to edit. It sees the project and the media right away. When I'm done editing, I can then send this drive to another editor (also using FCPX) or attach it to my MacBook if I want to edit the same project in the field.
This has worked for me. I wish you luck.

What is the best mac to get for downloading over 30,000 photos?

what is the best mac to get for downloading over 30,000 photos?

Download from where into what? What are you going to do with the photos?
I agree with Larry that a Mac with an SSD boot drive and addtional standard drive is blazingly fast. I have an iMac setup that way and it boots in 14 seconds. With the system and applicaitons and iPhoto library on the SSD drive and most other documents, backup photos, etc. on the std. drive. it works beautifully. However, I do not let the free space on the SSD drive get less than 50 GB.
I also have an external HD that I sue with Time Maching to backup both my SSD and standard drive in the iMac.
OT
