  • Fios Quantum not working with Late 2012 Mac Mini

    A new router came out from Verizon in late 2014 so I went ahead and upgraded for $150.  After connecting 3 iPhones, an iPad, and 2 Windows laptops successfully I discovered that my Late 2012 Mac Mini would not work. 
    Found a random blog post about channel settings, and after some tinkering got it to work.  Basically you need to change the channel settings from Auto to alternate values.  The blog I found said to use 1,6, or 11 for 2.4ghz and a low value for 5ghz.  I tried a few and ended up with channel 6 and 40 as a working pair.  Thought I would share.

    I thought about your dilemma while ASC was down, that's good news your welcome!
    I spent some of the time replacing the 320GB 5400rpm HD in my 2010 Mac Mini with a 500GB Hitachi Travelstar 7200rpm HD. Then moved forward by Restoring Mountain Lion onto it from an External HD, instead of Snow Leopard from the original 5400rpm drive. I really prefer to keep my music and photos on the Internal HD and so I couldn't justify the cost of a larger SSD.
    So basically I flip flopped and now running Mountain Lion on a larger/slightly faster Internal HD and Snow Leopard from a FireWire External HD when needed.

  • External usb microphone not working with FaceTime and mac mini with os x Yosemite

    Hello
    When I try to do a phone call with face time through my iphone 6 face time is not recognizing my external usb microphone connected to my mac mini. I have just updated my mac mini to os x Yosemite. If I go to the audio system preferences and look to the audio input signal I can see that the external microphone (SB Omni Surround 5.1) is working (audio input level is showing an input signal).
    Can someone help. I saw that this was also an issue in the beta versions of Yosemite.
    Thanks.
    BR Stefan

    Interesting.  I don't have a USB mic on the Mac Pro.  Its the OLD FireWire 300 iSight.  It works for FaceTime calls but not the iPhone call via the FaceTime app.
    I also have 2010 MBP that works perfectly, even since the first Public Beta.  I'm to sure if that mic is considered an external USB device or not, or if it has to do with device signatures vs. external or internal.  I would almost assume that the built-in mic is on the USB bus.  How would it be any different than the external USB.
    I think I have to agree that this is a point release bug.  I have submitted a bug report at bugreport.apple.com, and would ask others to do the same, or at least post to apple.com/feedback.  The more noise we make through process the more likely to get a fix in the .1 release.

  • Which USB Webcams will work with iChat?

    Hi,
    I'm new to these forums and am wanting to get a webcam, but iSights are no longer available and I don't have the interest or money to get a DV Camcorder.
    So which USB webcams will work with iChat?
    I take it I'll also have to purchase iChatUSBcam or whatever it's called.
    Thanks
    Iain

    Hi Iain:
    There is a list of cams on their website:

  • Will a Saittek Eclipse usb keyboard work with an Intel Mac Mini?

    The Saittek Eclipse is my favorite keyboard.
    Anybody know if it will work with an Intel Mac Mini.
    Box only says Windows, but I'm just wondering if everything except volume controls will work fine? (it is also illuminated, with a light level control, but I'm guessing this shouldn't matter with Windows vs OS X?)

    I am a writer though  and a photographer (strictly point and shoot) for a couple of orgs.  I just don't want o run out of space.  And I hate!! slow response time.  
    Is the i5 adequate as well?
    Glad to have found an Apple guru so quickly.  May very well buc you more in the future.

    You don't say what sort of Inputs it has available, but if VGA, DVI or HDMI then yes, you might need to buy an adapter of some type though ...

    Will a external apple isight work with the latest mac mini.
    Yes (if the external iSight works.)
    External iSights are great webcams, but they are getting old (as consumer electronics go) and some have had pretty rough treatment. You can test yours using the suggestions from this page:
      http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage4.html
    I suggest you disconnect other Firewire devices until you get your external iSight working with your mini.
    If you do not already have an external iSight and are considering buying one now,
    a new webcam (with warranty) may be a better choice.
    Many available alternatives are listed here: http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/

    Use one of the following ways to connect your FW400 external iSight to a FW800 Mac port:
    • To use the FW400 6pin-6pin cable that comes with iSight, you can use a 6pin-9pin adapter
      like one of these:

    • Some report that this low-priced alternative cable works:
      http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812189097
    I suggest you disconnect other Firewire devices until you get external iSight working with your mini. Once iSight works when it is the only FW connected device, you can try connecting other Firewire devices to determine whehter you can use any of them without conflict.
    ... if it will what software do i need to take pictures and videos.
    With your 10.6.3 mini, you can use QuickTime X, iChat, Photo Booth, iMovie, and some of the other apps that are installed with OS X. Your Mac's Help for each of these apps can tell you how to use them with iSight (or other connected cameras.)
    Some more apps you can use are shown in this list:

    The web links for each app gives details on what functions is offers with your webcam.

  • Replacing a Mac Pro with a 2012 Mac mini?

    Has anyone replaced their Mac Pro with a 2012 Mac mini? If so, are you happy with your decision?

    I had the mini fitted with a SSD by Apple. Apple use the Samsung 830 and that is very capable and the price difference was not worth the effort of installing the SSD. Where installing memory is as easy as it could ever be replacing the hard disk is mind bendingly frustrating. You might think from videos such as this
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13wcKCYo_Xw
    that it is a simple procedure. What they dont tell you is that this man has freakishly tiny hands. In the real world the job reminds me of disassembling mechanical wrist watches. You need a variety of specialized tools or its just not happening. And there is no soothing music.
    Also the video above misses a critical step. The antenna grate will not fit back into position unless a hook like tool is used to go through a specific hole in the grate and pull up from under whilst applying a pressure in the necessary horizontal direction.
    So my advice is not to install your own HDD/SSD. The memory I used was from Crucial because Crucial is the retail side of Micron who provides Apple their memory for the mac minis.
    http://www.crucial.com/upgrade/Apple-memory/Mac+mini/Mac+mini+%28Late+2012%29-up grades.html
    Having heard of memory failures in AHD from different manufacturers and read about the need for 3.35v DDR3L I ran what I got from Crucial through 6 cycles of the advanced AHD, taking about 10 hours. No failures.
    I am running Parallels and under various virtual machines running simultaneously I have intensive CADs, IDEs, and all the latest games on steam maxed out on a 30 inch display, without lag or any noticeable loading time at all. It is by far the fastest machine I have used. Very impressed.

  • Thunderbolt Port problem with (Late 2012) Mac Mini

    I am connecting a (Late 2012) Mac Mini to an HP 2311xi monitor with a MiniDisplayPort-to-DVI-D cable plugged into the Thunderbolt port.
    After the connection, the Thunderbolt bus Port Status in Systems Information states "No device connected".
    However, the monitor works fine, just as well as when I am connected to the HDMI port (but without the blinking screen...).
    The problem is that the TB port drops the video signal when I put the Mini to sleep. The monitor will not go into sleep mode (as it does with the HDMI connection) but flashes "No signal" which seems to wake up my Mini's hard drive. It spins up but there is nothing on the screen.
    I'd appreciate any help on this, including the mystery of why there is "No device Connected" in Systems Information.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Will any of my old displays work with the new Mac Mini

    I am thinking of getting a new Mac Mini.     What I need to know is if any of the monitor/displays I have here can bem used.
    I have two old video monitors I used to used with my old  mac mini (Samsung Symc Master 770 and old little Princeton  - VL158) , a
    n early 2006 iMac 20" (which I don't think I could use as a monitor from what I read) and an little Samsung TV with USB and HDMI connectors.,
    Can I use any of these? 
    Need new connector cords?   Mini-DVI to VGA adapter?

  • 24" LED MiniDisplay Apple monitor with new 2012 mac mini?

    Can I connect a 24" LED MiniDisplay Apple monitor to new 2012 mac mini?

    Yes indeed!
    A notable peculiarity of Thunderbolt is that it uses exactly the same connector as Mini Display Port, and that's not all. The Thunderbolt connector also carries Mini Display Port video signals. That means you can plug a Mini Display Port video cable/adapter in to a Thunderbolt connector and your monitor will work.

  • 10.8.2 Not Compatible with my 2012 Mac Mini?

    I just purchased a Mac Mini to run some hardware in my graphic design studio...I purchased it last week (Nov 2012) and I just got around to implementing it with our equipment.  So I get prompted for an update in the App Store and attempt to update but one of them fails saying I need 10.8.2.  I thought I had the latest...but anyway...I go to update the OSX to 10.8.2 and I get a notification that it is not compatible with my computer?
    Can you someone please tell me why this case?  I would have thought a 1 week old computer would be very compatible with the latest OSX?

  • USB hubs quit working with 10.7.2

    I have a Mac Pro, dual quad-core 2.8GHz Xeon, 10GB ram. Three D-link DUB-H7 usb hubs. After the update to 10.7.2 and iTunes 5.0.1 (not sure exaclty when), my usb devices & hubs quit working properly. For a while they would work occasionally.
    I have a USB keyboard which works if it's plugged in directly when the computer boots. But other devices (external drives, flash card reader, iPod dock, USB display) don't work at all. I tested the hubs with another Lion system, and they work on that. iTunes wireless sync quit as well.
    I've tried resetting PRAM and SMC. Neither fixed the problem. Tried repairing permissions. No change. Rebooting (many times).
    Could it be a USB driver conflict? I removed VirtualBox usb drivers, as well as Parallels, but not vmware, which I also own.
    When I plug in a device, I get 'trouble enumerating' and then "The IOUSBFamily was not able to enumerate a device." in the system.log
    Any ideas? Is my motherboard dying? If so, why does the keyboard still work, and nothing else?

    Followup info. I reset the PRAM and booted into 10.5.1, on another drive.
    This time, similar behavior; HID devices (keyboard, mouse, bluetooth) work fine. Hubs (which work fine on another Lion computer!) generate a bunch of console errors:

  • Belkin Network USB Hub not working with new BT Rou...

    Hi,
    I received my new hub to use with Infinity when they turn it on in a few days time.
    I connected the new router to the ADSL and all works perfectly without any set up needed.
    I installed (on my old 'sheep-dip' PC) the BT software, and now this test PC will not connect to any USB hard-drives or Printers connected to my Belkin Network USB hub.
    The Network USB hub works fine with all the other PCs in the house - but not if I install the BT software.
    (Which appears to be mainly adverts and a link for those too dim to type BT.com in a browser... ;o)
    I am guessing that this may be something to do with the software blocking use of the new BT Router using its own USB socket as a Network USB link - as this is being saved for 'future product enhancements'.  Is there anyway of curing this and still having the BT software on this machine?
    Thanks!

    Is this issue likely to go away when the Infinity service starts? - I am guessing not?
