Wi-Fi Internet But No Ethernet Internet, Mac Mini

Some time ago, I upgraded the hard drive in my Mac Mini to an SSD. Prior to that, both the Wi-Fi and the Ethernet connections worked fine. Since then, I can get only Wi-Fi to work. If I connect an Ethernet cable, Wi-Fi can no longer connect to the Internet. If I turn Wi-Fi off, the Ethernet cable status is "connected" but I cannot connect to the Internet. Any ideas?

Is this on all wifi networks or only a specific one?

Internet runs slow on my Mac mini

My internet runs slow on my Mac mini after I loded the new OS

I sopped by the apple store with my Mac book air. It worked well. I took it home still same problem I have two wireless networks Uverse and AirPort Extreme. My iMac was connected to the Uverse and the MacBook Air and Mac mini was connected to the Airport. When I connect all three to the Uverse everything works well. When I connect any one to the AirPort it is very slow. It worked fine with the old OS but not with the new OS. Is look like problem is with the AirPort Extreme and the new OS.

Slow Ethernet on Mac mini server

Set up:
Mac Mini Server - Mid 2011 - i7 Quad 2GHz - 8GB RAM - OSX 10.7.3
13" MacBook Pro - Mid 2009 - Core 2 Duo 2.53GHz - 8GB RAM - OSX 10.7.3
Both wired in to Virgin SuperHub Switch/Router and physically next to each other
Hi All,
Bit of a strange one this but I recently upgraded my cable connection to 100MB line from 50MB. As everyone does, the first thing I did was to test my new toy on speedtest.net. I was overjoyed to see my MBP fly directly up to 104Mbps dl speed. However, my Mac Mini Server peaked out at somewhere around the 60Mbps range. At first I thought it was flakey network connection and so duley tested at random intervals during the day, one device after another but always with the same (or similar) result. As stated above the kit is physically next to one another and both on Ethernet. I have also tried swapping over LAN cables, difference ports and new cables all together but no change. Next I tried to change the MTU settings on my Mac Mini Server but again no improvement (plus the MBP is still on the standard Auto config 1000BaseT Full-duplex with a standard Ethernet MTU of 1500.
The hardware spec states that they have slightly difference NIC's installed but the MAC Mini Server is the newer of the two and all software is up to date. Any idea's pls?

Hi BD, thanks for responding again.
I've disabled TM while I test and I dont think Spot light is doing anything. I've also run the test now tens of time at all times of the day.
RE console, i've looked and nothing jumps out (although im no expert there)
Re connection priority, yes top of the list, infact diabled everything else while I test also.
One other point, the Mac Mini Server does have the server addition of Lion OSX, sorry i didnt make this clear earlier. I normally only run the TM, Web, Profie Manager and Files sharing servivces - no are them are under much load at the moment although, again, I even disabled all of these while I test and no change to the result.

Gigabit Ethernet to Mac Mini File Transfer

After trying to upgrade my G4 and having the accelerator "kill" my power supply, I've decided to just invest in a Mac Mini until the intel chip G5s arrive.
I am now in the process of transferring my data from my G4 hard drives (2) into my serrogant mac mini. One drive has all my old files from when I had a Quadra 840AV and ran OS 9. Then I have a different drive that runs Tiger and my most recent work (animation short). Before the transfer I made sure both machines had the same OS just to make sure everything would run smoothly.
After launching the mini's Migration Assistant and restarting my G4 and holding down the "T" key, via firewire. Only the OS 9 drive shows up on my mini desktop? What happened to my OS X drive? I have disconnected everything and just started up my G4 and it boots right into OSX. Same with the Mini. But when I try to connect the two. Only OS9 is seen by the Mini?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated "o)
Lyn

Hi Lynne ! Glad that you found a way to transfer your data, and thanks for the clarification. Being a recent Windows switcher, I don't always think as a Mac user, and although I do know of the Gigabit Ethernet G4, I didn't think of it when I read your post. Thanks for posting back the solution, too.
Sorry for having been of very little (no) help.
Enjoy your new Mini !

Sony cybershot videos automatically import into iPhoto on MacBook Pro but not iPhoto on Mac Mini

This is so weird. I have iPhoto '11 vers 9.4.2 OS 10.7.5 running on both my MacBook Pro and my Mac Mini. I can hook up the Sony cybershot and import all photos and videos into the MacBook Pro's iPhoto without any problems or special actions. But the MacMini will only import the photos and never recognizes the videos even being there.
As a work around I can then drag the videos from the MacBook Pro's iPhoto window to the desktop, then turn on file sharing and pull them into iPhoto on the Mac Mini w/out any problems.
Info on the videos on the MacBook Pro's iPhoto: 1920x1080 H.264 29.97 fps
Once those videos are dragged to the desktop it's a .mov and opens in Quicktime
Info on the videos on the MacBook Pro's Desktop before file sharing to the Mac Mini: Format: AVCHD 1080i60, 1440 x 1080 (1920 x 1080), Millions 16 bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo (LR) 48kHz 29.97 fps Data Rate: 83.1 Mbit/s
What's going on here? Is there some special codecs or something on the MacBook Pro iPhoto that the Mac Mini's Iphoto doens't have? How can I fix this so my wife can import the videos straight to iPhoto on the Mac Mini like I'm able to do on my MacBook Pro?
Thanks!

Yes and no. It is my understanding that the most direct way will require attaching the script to each of the subfolders. However, the attaching of the script can be done using AppleScript. Those subfolders that are already in existence can have the scripts attached using the following script:
click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">property WatchedFolderName : "Camera Phone Images"
property WatchedFolderPath : ((path to desktop) as text) & WatchedFolderName
property ScriptName : "Subfolder detection.scpt"
property ScriptPath : ((path to Folder Action scripts) as text) & ScriptName
tell application "Finder"
set target of window 1 to folder WatchedFolderPath
set theSubFolders to folders of entire contents of target of window 1
repeat with i from 1 to count of theSubFolders
tell application "System Events"
attach action to (item i of theSubFolders as string) using ScriptPath
end tell
end repeat
end tell</pre>
and subsequently added folders can be caught by adding a test for folders being added in the folder action script. I am working out the details on that one now.

I had my mac mini in repair now i am missing server update and they want me to pay for it but i bought a mac mini server

i bought my mac mini server with leopard server softw. but because i bought it in 2011 okt they gave me a free update to lion os incl server. after a half year i have to send me mac mini to repair because something was wrong with the hard drive. they fixt the problem and put on a new version of lion os. but they did not put the server version on it. they told me that i have to downl it for free. but it does not come for free.
The problem is before the repair they gave me the free version of lion osx server. because i bought a server version mac mine. but now after repair i only get a version of lion osx without the server software. and i do not have any ideay how to contact them about it tru mail. because calling them is at this moment no option for me.
how do i get my server version back without paying. and i dont have a paid version in my app store list because they gave me that for free with a code at that time ,
greetzzzz to all you that can help me

I had this problem as well. I was under the gun on time and just purchased it anyway. After installation I contacted support and they refunded me the amount.
You should have a backup of your servers regardless of circumstances. You would then be able to restore the server software.
When Apple repair machines they will often just swap it or swap the hard disk and will not make any effort to transfer your files. They assume you are doing a backup. Anybody running servers absolutely has a responsibility to ensure they have aduequate backups even more than 'normal' users. While Time Machine may not be wholely suitable for backing up servers Time Machine is so simple even normal users can use it and therefore no longer have any excuse for not doing backups.

Apple TV won't load or play movies from my MBP library (through both airplay and homesharing), but will from my mac mini. Help!

I have been using my apple TV seamlessly with all my apple products (Mac Mini, iphone, MBP, ipad). Everything worked perfectly until recently (I noticed the issue about 3 weeks ago), when the apple TV won't load and play any movies from my iTunes library located on my MBP. The Library loads, and I can see everything, but as soon as I press play, the spinning load icon appears and doesn't stop. Same when I play movie from itunes directly and send it via airplay. Desktop mirroring no problem.
I have checked, and films are being played perfectly from my other devices, as does airplay and mirroring

Hello Tourneurm,
Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities.
This article might be of use for your issue.
Troubleshooting Home Sharing
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972
Section 8 seems to be most applicable.
8. Cannot access my library when my computer is asleep
For Apple TV to access your library while the host computer is asleep, "Wake for network access" must be turned on.
Open System Preferences > Energy Saver and select (enable) the "Wake for network access" option.
In addition, the network that the host computer and the Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation) is connected to must support Wake on Demand feature. This works by partnering with a service running on your AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule called Bonjour Sleep Proxy.

Airplay over ethernet from Mac mini?

Help needed.
I have Apple TV 3rd gen connected to third party wifi router (via wifi). And Mac mini connected via ethernet to the same wifi router (because of poor wifi signal)
I can not find airplay options in my Mac mini, any solution to this? To get it working?
Thank you

About AirPlay and Airplay Mirroring
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). For non-qualifying Macs you can try using Air Parrot.

Tv show is available to download in Itunes on ipad, but not on my Mac mini.

I wanted to download a tv show that aired last night, and it is showing up as available on my ipad in itunes. I have a Mac mini hooked up to my tv (got rid of cable), so i went to itunes on the mac mini to purchase the tv show, but the tv show is simply not showing up on itunes in the store on my computer. It is really odd. Are shows simply available sooner on devises like an ipad?
And, I assume since I have iCloud activated, I can purchase the show on my ipad, and it will be available on my computer, correct?

There does not appear to ba a facilty for this on the iPad. However there are a number of apps that will allow you to create and play video playlists. Try VP Lite which is free.

Not quite buyers remorse, but... Mac Mini, final cut pro x

Yesterday I bought my first mac, a late 2012 mac mini 2.3 GHz i7 with 4GB RAM. I do some very semi-professional video work and for years have been using a PC I built with Sony Vegas and it was time to get mac.
I know I took a chance with the mac mini, considering it doesn't have dedicated GPU, but it's not as snappy as I expected. To be fair, I've ordered RAM to get this machine up to 16GB, so maybe it will get better.
What I'm wondering is if there's any other mac mini users who have are using final cut pro x and adobe photoshop with similar specs?
I may be returning this and building my own PC again, I don't know. I really want this mac to be as awesome as I think it can be. Any experiences is appreciated.

Not FinalCut, but I do use Adobe Premiere, Encore and AfterEffects as well as PS, Dreamweaver and Audition.
PS was terribly slow with the OEM 4Gb. My Mini is a Corei5.
I first bumped up to 8Gb and that helped, but Premiere was still slow rendering. Photoshop worked well.
I have 16Gb now and I can run PS or Premiere with a Virtual Machine running too, and no lag at all.

Someone dropped a friend's Mac Mini a few inches while it was not running, and today someone else slid it a few inches with a bang against a desk edge while it was running. I ran a disk verify and it's okay, but how tough are Mac Mini hard drives?

Am I being a little paranoid about hard drive failure like a 1980s relic, or are chances good that a year or so's been knocked off the life of this thing?
Thanks,
L
P.S. Wasn't me.

With platter-based hard drives, as long as they aren't powered up and spinning, drops have little-to-no impact. If it were dropped while the read/write heads were moving across the platters, that's when you might see a problem.
these machines use standard hard drives that you can by from any website or electronics store. they aren't tougher (or weaker) than any other, so you should apply the same amount of care that you would with any other system.

I can find old messages over 7 months ago on my iPhone, but not on my MAC MINI

Do you mean Mail messages?
If so what type of account? POP3 or IMAP/Exchange?

IMac late 2009 showing connected to Internet but no Internet

A couple days ago our Internet completely stop working. We called Comcast and they said that they had upgraded the service in our area and we needed to get a new modem. We got the modem with build in wifi on and it worked perfectly with our PC laptop and my iPhone 5. Then we connected my iMac through Ethernet and it said it was connected. I also tried to connect to the wifi and it said I was connected. Then when I tried to go on safari it said "www.google.com can not connect to the server because you are not connected to the Internet" I then went to network settings in system preferences and it said it was connected. I ran the Internet diagnostics and it said the Internet was working fine. I went back to safari and typed in the http://10.0.0.1 for the modem settings and I connected and typed in my password and could change any of the settings in the modem. I also said that the iMac was connected to the modem and was online. I then went and deleted the network preferences and restarted the computer and it still said that my imac was connect to the Internet but still no Internet on safari. I have contacted Comcast multiple time and they said that it was my iMac because all my other devices work fine with the wifi. My last resort is to do a clean install of mountain lion but I don't really want to have to back up my whole computer. I f you to help me out that would be great!
Thanks,
Gage

Try the basics first:
Change your router channel number. Most times this works & is all you have to do.
Disconnect & reconnect your modem. unplug it for about 10 seconds. Plug it back in. Do the same for Apple’s routers. Wait for everything to reboot.
System Preferences>Network
Click the Assist Me button.
In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.
