Wifi webcam - mac mini - TV

Hi there,
Webcam - Mac mini - HDTV
I want to know if I could set up ichat to be displayed on my TV. The webcam would be near or no top of my HDTV, and I would be able to call up friends via Ichat and see the full screen on the TV, so I could sit on my sofa and chat away to family/ friends etc....
Does anyone know if this is possible?
ta

How about http://ecamm.com/mac/webcam/bt1/
As for displaying on the TV you will need an adaptor and cabling from the MacMini to TV.

Messed up my wife's Mac Mini

Today I tried to set permissions on my wife’s mac mini HD (Snow Leopard) to be read and write accessible to ‘everyone’ and clicked the option for it to ‘apply to enclosed items’, after which I got the horizontal barber poll, and after about 15 minutes got a pop-up alert that something wasn’t installed correctly (I really don’t remember what it said), and when I clicked to close it, there was another similar alert about a different file/extension, then another, and another. Clearly my trying to set the permissions that way had caused all these alerts. After clicking out of about 40 of the alerts, I decided to just force shut down the machine, and I haven’t been able to get it to boot up normally since. I get the logo screen with spinner and it never goes any further. I have a Windows Boot Camp partition and I can boot into that and work in Windows just fine.
Here’s what I tried to no avail:
Safe Boot – I get the progress bar under the logo, which gets to about half-way then disappears and nothing more happens.
Booted into Single User Mode and ran /sbin/fsck –fy. Got “Macintosh HD appears OK”
Booted to the install CD, which is OS 10.4.10, and ran disk utilities to repair disk, verify disk, repair permissions, verify permissions with all checking ‘ok’.
Reset the PRAM several times in a row.
Tried to reset nonvolatile firmware, and I just get the logo and spinner – no command line prompt.
The only other suggestion I’ve found it to “test the kernel” by reinstalling the OS. Unfortunately, I do not currently have the Snow Leopard upgrade disk, and if I were to reinstall, would that delete all my files on the HD?
Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated as I am typing this from the proverbial doghouse.
Thank you, Scott

I solved a similar issue for another person who did this a few days ago, and even reproduced the effects on one of my clone drives for kicks.
Oh brother what a mess.
I've got some bad news, the whole OS X partiton will have to be erased and everything reinstalled, because despite doing everything, I couldn't set things back to what they were.
Unfortunately, I do not currently have the Snow Leopard upgrade disk, and if I were to reinstall, would that delete all my files on the HD?
Call Apple via phone (only way) and order the 10.6.3 white retail disk.
Try a #8 Reinstall Just OS X, and if it boots you might be able to grab the files to a external storage drive (not timemachine for this)
Step by Step to fix your Mac
Most commonly used backup methods
If that doesn't work, you can install 10.6.3 on a external blank powered drive and boot from it and grab the files
Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
Once the files are off, Secure Erase Zero All Data the entire OS X partition (not your entire drive or Bootcamp) and follow these 10.6 install instructions, then update to 10.6.8
How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
Unfortunatly the entire OS X partition needs to be erased and reformatted, OS X installed fresh because Disk Utility Repair Disk/Permisions and fixing User Permissions didn't work at all in my experiments.
If you have further problems, you might have to backup out of Bootcamp and erase then entire drive and start over.

External webcam - mac mini

Hi
I'm going to buy a Mac Mini. I'll use my TV for screen.. I want know which one webcam will work with mac mini? logitech c920? or there have other model?

Windows 7 No 5GHZ WiFi on Mac Mini A1347 2010 Model using BootCamp

I have a new 2010 model mac mini and the WiFi in snow leopard works fine with both a 2.4GHZ and a 5GHz connection. When I reboot into Windows 7 I am only able to use a 2.4GHz connection and the 5GHz connection does not even show up as an option to connect to.
Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Just an idea for you. There is an entire Apple Discussion forum dedicated to Boot Camp and Windows.
Whereas, not everyone here with an Mac mini has installed, tried to install or has experience with BC & Windows, everyone there has or at least has an interest. You may attract help more quickly there.
The Forums are at the bottom of the main Apple Discussions page under Windows Compatible Technology. Here is a link;

New 3rd Party Webcam - Mac Mini

I have a Mac Mini, running Snow Leopard. (purchased last year) I recently got an HD 1080p webcam with backlight (Rocketfish) which works really well in Yahoo Messenger. However it is only supported there and does not seem to function via skype or webpages. I also cannot do still captures with it, but I couldn't with my previous webcam either.
Is there a recommended program that will provide the support I am looking for, or do I need something else?
I will try my best to answer any questions.
-C

I can recommend a usb web cam but a warning you won't have it in hd because yahoo only supports it in hd
Try the xbox 360 web cam there about 12.99 used from gamestop they work on all skype yahoo and even ichat

Can I use wifi connected Mac Mini as an ethernet hub?

Hi!
I have my Mac Mini next to the TV. It gets the wireless internet connection from my apartment complex.
I also have a Blue-Ray player that is online capable, but not wireless. Can I get the Blue-Ray player online by running an Ethernet cable to the Mac Mini?

Yes, go into System Preferences and open the Sharing panel where you will see a check box for Internet Sharing and it's options.

Is Manual Wifi the best Mac Mini can do?

My Wifi keeps dropping.
It works when I'm using the internet on the Mac, but if I'm not working on the Mac then after a few minutes it drops connection.
My Windows PC if fine - never drops connection,
my iPad is fine, my iPhone is fine - and all 4 devices are within 2 feet of each other.
I've moved the Mac Mini around. Put a box under it, etc. It keeps dropping.
I've read articles about the dropping of Wifi by Mac Minis and have tried some of the workarounds - but to no avail.
I guess this is part of the Mac Mini design (so I guess I won't be purchasing another).
Workaround:
I have found that by clicking on the Wi-Fi icon, then turning off Wi-Fi then clicking on the Wi-Fi icon and turning on Wi-fi it is a workaround for Apples poor design.
I have given my other family members this training and it works for them (I have even put a note on the machine because they are used to the automatic feature on their own devices and often forget).
So if you are having a Wi-Fi problem on your Mac Mini - just go manual...

Hello woodmeister50,
I hope this helps (sorry for the long set of data, this was from last night when I had the issue).

Mountain Lion on Mac Mini - WiFi unstable for Internet Sharing

I have a Mac Mini Mid 2010 MC270LL/A previously on 10.6.8 and everything worked fine.
I have it plugged into a Plasma TV via HDMI and network via CAT6, but it also doubles as a WiFi access point via Internet Sharing.
Previously WiFi was secured via WEP, I don't recall if 10.6.8 had anything stronger, most likely not, otherwise I would have gone WPA2.
I have now done a clean install of 10.8. ie erase hard drive, boot from USB and lay down a clean install of Mountain Lion.
Software update downloaded a new Firmware, which has also been applied and rebooted.
Now I've set-up Internet Sharing, used same SSID (maybe should have picked a new one in hind-sight), but secured via WPA2 - the only option.
Previously my Macbook Air 13" MC965LL/A, had undergone the same clean install treatment via wipe, then boot from USB and install 10.8.
The Wifi worked flawlessly with Macbook Air on 10.8 connecting to Mac Mini on 10.6.8 (Secured via WEP), no drop outs, connected even after sleep.
Even the power nap feature worked really well, I was impressed that when I open the lid on the Macbook Air, I had emails already waiting for me.
Now with the Mac Mini on 10.8, it's a really sad state, constant WiFi dropouts, my File Sharing disappears, Screen Sharing stops, it's a real pain.
I'm hoping it's not the new firmware, I guess I'll find out when I restore to 10.6.8 and see how it goes.
Anyone else have issues with Mac Mini WiFi on 10.8 ?

This is the System log on the Macbook Air while sleeping - connected with wifi to Mac Mini under 10.8

What is the OPTIMAL version of the OS for a 2010 Mac mini?

Searching for expert opinions on which is the optimal (not necessarily the latest) version of OS X to run on a 2.4GHz Mac mini 4,1 2010 model, built in Feb of 2011? It's currently on Snow Leopard 10.6.8. This is my wife's machine.
Additionaly, if it happens to be 10.7.5, are there any considerations when attaching an external FW800 2-GB hard drive regarding partitioning the drive?
Thanks in advance.

You are welcome!
I assume you are satisfied that the worst bugs in ML have been fixed.
Yes, Mountain Lion runs as well as Snow Leopard.
We're upgrading my wife's Mac mini to 4 GB and hope that will be fine for her, as she's not a Photoshop user, does not do video or play games. I hope the ML OS is not such a resource hog that it requires the *8GB you have.
Mountain Lion and Safari are both pretty big RAM hogs and will pretty much use the better part of 4GB. If she plans on running Mail, iTunes, iPhoto, etc. at the same time, then your going to want to fix her up with 8GB.
For Example: besides the basic Mountain Lion processes, Safari and iTunes I'm using a little over 4GB.
However if I open other App's like iPhoto, OpenOffice, Google Earth for example's, I can easily use 6GB+

Mac mini slow ethernet

We recently hooked up my wife's mac mini (2.26 Core 2 Duo, 2GB Ram, System 10.6.8) and have been unable to get wired or wireless speeds higher than 1.5mb DL and about 1mb UL. Despite the fact that my MacBook (circa 2006 model, 2 ghz Core 2 Duo, 2GB, System 10.6.8) gets 15-17mb DL / 5-7mb UL wirelessly or wired from the same spot.
Ping on the Mini varies, but has been as little as 25ms. I have checked the network settings on both and they seem to be the same. I have changed the QoS settings on the router to no avail, I have reset the DNS servers with no change, I have removed and had the system reinistalled on the mini. It just seems to be throttled down and I can't get it to work.
Again, this is both via airport wireless AND via ethernet.
Help!

Here is a screen print with the data from the network tool and a "speedtest" result in the background. As you can see, the speeds aren't consistent. They are consistently SLOW, from .3MB to 1.5MB DL, but inconsistent otherwise. This is wired connection. I also failed to mention this speed issue is with both Safari and Chrome, so it doesn't seem to be related to Safari.

I just connected my Mac Mini running OS 10.6.8 to a IG 32' monitor. What resolution should I select from the menu?

I just connected my wife's Mac Mini running OS 10.6.8 to an IG 32' monitor. What resolution should I select from the menu in order to provide maximum screen appearance? My wife has AMD and a visual acuity of 20/400 with central scotonata.

In System Preferences:Displays you have an option to show
Displays Prefs in the title bar above the screen - where she can
iteratively adjust to her liking. Higher screen resolutions, ironically,
result in smaller characters so adjust to suit. Below, Displays is
4th from L.
All best, Tom

Help me diagnose my slow Mac mini

Hi All,
I bought my wife a Mac mini (2012) and all she does on it is email, web and chat (Google Hangouts, typically). She did all of this on her old 2007 iMac, but for some reason this new Mac mini is struggling hard. She will get the spinning beach ball of death very very frequently when just switching between tabs and between her browsers. She will typically have Safari and Firefox open at the same time doing different tasks in each one, but they're usually just displaying websites.
Its her computer, she uses it all day long but it will typically only exhibit the slow behaviour when I am at work. She's not very technical and wouldn't know what to look for to see if there is a runaway process or something of that sort. Ideally, what I would like is to have some kind of program running to capture CPU, memory and disk usage and let me see which process is doing what at certain times a day. Specifically, when her CPU gets pegged and things start to freeze up I want to see some kind of log or graph showing what each process was doing at the time, how much cpu they were using, and memory/disk usage. I know Activity Monitor shows this stuff real time, but is there a way to capture that to a log so I can examine it when I am there?
She is at her wits end and its frustrating for me because she can't replicate it when I am home.
Any help would be appreciated.
Trevor
PS: Mountain Lion, all updates. 4GB RAM, lots of disk space left.

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

Mac Mini with OS 10.4.9 running Appleworks 6

I am running a Mac Mini (Intel) OS 10.4.9 and have installed Appleworks 6 which I had from my old G3. The problem is, my microsoft mouse will not scroll up and down on a document. Now then, this new Mac Mini is my wife's and she needs the scrolling feature. I also have the same Mac Mini with Appleworks 6 installed and the mouse scrolling feature works fine. This did not come easy as when I first got my Mac Mini, I spent a lot of phone time with an excellent tech rep at Apple. He made it oh, so simple. I just can't remember how he did it.
My current call to Apple tech support came to the conclusion that I need to take my wife's Mac Mini to a "Apple Genius Store" (if I can find it) and have them try and get the mouse scrolling to work. By the way, I have tried the iWork trial thing and perhaps I'm set in my old age, but I do like Appleworks 6 much better. Thank you for reading and considering my question.
Mac Mini 1,1 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

There's nothing at all wrong with preferring APpleWorks and wanting to continue using it. It's a bit unfashionable these days, but there are many people who have discovered how powerful, flexible and easy it is to use and continue to use it despite the development of alternatives!
Of course, it does have the drawback of not being intel native, so performance on intel-based Macs will be relatively poor in comparison to iWork, but if that doesn't cause you any problems in use, then it's purely a matter of what you want to use not what anyone else thinks is appropriate!
That said, what exactly is the problem? Can you scroll by clicking the scroll arrows and dragging the scroll bar, but not by using the mouse wheel?

Mac Mini w/WinXP sp2 won't find AirPort Extreme

I bought my wife a Mac Mini. It sees the Airport Extreme that we have when booted into MAC OS. This was setup for her iBook. Works fine, has been for a couple years now. If she boots into WinXP side she cannot access the internet. Windows doesn't detect the wireless modem or the Airport Extreme at all. When I run the Airport Setup Assistant I get this error message: "This computer has no wireless interface enabled or Windows is not setup to manage wireless networks on this computer."
I have no clue what to do from here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Mac mini not keeping connection with Cisco wireless access point

I am trying to get my wife's Mac Mini to keep it's connection with the wireless network at her school. They are using a Cisco access point (not sure of the model) which works fine with my G4 Powerbook and the numerous Macbooks being used there, but for some reason her Mac Mini drops the connection after 4 or 5 minutes, at which point she needs to log right off for it to reconnect (as opposed to just turning the card off and on again). I have already gone through the deletion of the Networkinterfaces.plist file, and recreation of the Airport card profile process, but this only kept the interface active for about 36 hours, then it was back to the same old problem. At this point I am thinking "flakey card"...before I ship it off to Apple, can anyone offer any other possible solutions?

After spending time on the phone with a Apple support technician, he indicated that the Iphone has a compatibility problem with the wep key encryption that the Cisco appliance uses. I find this disturbing being that Cisco is the biggest in network gear. What's UP Apple? We need SP1 for the IPHONE!!!
