Is It Time To Junk Mac Mini G4
Mar 20, 2012
My old 2005 Mac Mini 1.25 GHz is running leopard and I'm only using it to record surveillance videos. I'm using the Security Spy application which still supports Leopard on G4 Macs. A short time ago, this Mac Mini developed a boot problem: It continually resets after the gray Apple logo screen with the rotating wheel or gear. It goes back to the power on chime and never boots to a desktop. I've tried booting to the Leopard OSX install DVD, but nothing. I've tried a variety of boot options with no success. I'm thinking that this ancient hardware is now useful only as a door stop (since it's tool light to be a boat anchor).I assume it's probably not worth spending anything on, even to have its problems diagnosed.

I have several email accounts that come to my mac. When junk appears I hit the junk button. Does it take awhile to train the junk or is there a way to set up mail so that it automatically goes to junk and does not appear at all in my inbox?

I've got external spam filter, and I've turned off junk filtering in apple mail.
But every so often, Mail categorizes messages as junk. It might be new since 10.9.4.

I have a Mac OS X 10.6.1 I have been having trouble with my MAC Junk mailbox. For a while it worked very well and I was able to review junk mail. All of a sudden, I am receiving no junk entries in my junk mail box. Preferences: Enable junk mail filtering, When junk arrives, move it to the junk mailbox, sender of message is in my my address book, sender of message is in my previous recipients, filter junk mail before applying my rules. What must I do to SEE received junk mail back in my junk mailbox?

I want mail to filter junk (including previous emails) and automatically place it in the junk folder. Currently, all it is doing is marking mail as junk within the inbox, and no junk emails are showing up in the junk folder. I tried unchecking and rechecking filtering for junk, resetting (in preferences), and re-downloading all emails. I have the box marked for move it to junk box, but the emails only show up as spam w/i the inbox.

On a fairly regular basis I finde non-junk emails in my junk folder. In other words mails that are black and not brown and from people that I would like mails from. As they are black I do not have the option of marking them non-junk.
- there are some settings under Junk Mail - advanced, not to put mails from previous recipients in the junk folder. But it keeps doing it.
- also, the mails in question are not necessarily from one company, from hotmail, Gmail, etc., It can be from anyone
- I have 9 different email accounts and the junk folder in question is the one under "Mailboxes". Not the junk folder under the iCloud account
- there is no "system" in regards to which of my account the mail is sent to, which makes me believe that this is not an iCloud issue. It can happen with mails sent to my work mail and also with mails sent to my iCloud mail
- the funny thing is that when it happens to an email sent to my iCloud mail address, then it does not go into the "online" junk folder under iCloud, but into the junk folder on my mac.
On some occassion I have tried to add the sender to my address book, but that doesnt guarantee that it does not happen again.

I want to mark an item in junk mail as non-junk. I can't click the non-junk button because it isn't there. In other words, the button at the top of the junk mail list stays as "Junk". Trying Messages>Mark doesn't work either: there is no choice for "not junk", the only choice is "Junk". How can I fix this?

I am planning on purchasing a mac mini solely for the purpose of playing music - it will be hooked up to a hi-fi amplifier and speakers. All of the music that will be on the computer will be in lossless format, which is very large. I will need a lot (320+ GB?) of storage.
I'm wondering if I can cut costs by buying an old 80 GB mini and augmenting its hard drive with a time capsule. I was planning on buying a time capsule anyway, so I could save something like $300. My questions are: would I be able to stream music from the time capsule to the mac mini? Would I be able to import music from itunes directly onto the time capsule? If I hook the mini up to the time capsule via USB, can it serve as a hard-drive, even if my internet is down? Is it going to be much more worth my time to buck up and buy a new 320 GB mini?

Except for the wireless routing capabilities, is it possible to use a mac mini as a Time Capsule to backup data from my other macbooks wirelessly?
All the macs will be hooked to the same wireless network FYI.Do I need any specific software to do that? Obviously I will be adding an external hard drive to the mac mini to support more storage space.

I bought a new Mac mini and it worked great the first month or two (I didnt use it that much) and had it plugged to an HD TV. Then bought a samsung monitor, and at start everything was great but after I left it about two hours or more without use the speakers started making weird noises and the computer just crashed. After that I start it the before it asks for my password I hear the weird noises again and sometimes it just freezes with a blank page and other time a sign comes up that tells me to reset it pressing the power button for about 5 seconds and then turning it on again. I do that a million times and I never get it to log in crashes every single time.
I have used the computer total about ten times and the only thing installed is the photoshop so I dont care if I have to erase everything o whatever. How can I know what the problem is and is there a way to format it. I just changed from PC to Mac so i am not very familiar to what to do now.
I replaced the 1gb ram memories to two 4gb dont know if that has something to do with it but I did that when i first bought it and worked great.

I've deleted a lot of music/movies/apps/podcasts in the past, however have almost always accidentally clicked 'Keep files'. Is there any programme/script that will sift through my library and delete anything in the folder that isn't there?

I am considering replacing my G4 Mac mini, which is used primarily as a desktop. It turns out that my computer desk is very close to my Sharp Aquos LC32GA5U TV. With the right adapters, it should be possible to have my monitor and TV connected to the new Mac mini at the same time. The DVI/HDMI cable to my TV should be about 12 ft. I have some questions about a setup like this. Will a video cable of this length cause any issues? My TV will not be turned on all the time. Does Leopard recognize the fact that a display is turned off and prevent apps from putting their windows on it?

I run a new Mac Mini with up to date software. My timemachine backs up to an external HD plugged into a USB port on the mini. It backs up regularly and without any problems.
Yesterday I tried to enter time machine to restore some files I have lost. Whenever I select "enter time machine" nothing happens. The disk doesn't mount, the time machine icon doesn't spin, nothing happens.

I have three accounts setup in Mail, and for some reason one of the accounts, the one that I need the most, is getting hundreds of junk emails daily, I tried to set some advanced settings in junk mail filtering but nothing works. One funny thing is that most of the junk mail I get is not even addressed to a name on my account, just a random name@myserver.com, there has to be a way to filter anything not addressed directly to me out, or a way to stop this period.

Mail identifies some good mail as junk and treats it as such. How can I tell it that it is not junk so that future mail from that sender goes to my In box.

I have 2 email accounts setup in Mail - 1 is an iCloud email and the other is a Gmail account. All the email for the Gmail account ends up in Junk on a daily basis. How can I get Mail to not do this? The email isn't marked as Junk by mail but simply ends up in there.

I got a phone call from an unknown person saying I have junk on my computer. I then asked if he is from Telstra (my internet provider) and he said yes (not sure if he's lying). Thinking it was a scam i immediately hung up. I am very scared now! Is this real or a scam? If it is real, how do a 'save' my Macbook? Are there any free Mac cleaning systems (legit and no viruses and no scams) I could use?

i did a last minute backup before i sold my late 07 Mini last weak and I was a little apprehensive abouthow well the restore would work on the new 2.53 mini.
Well I can now say I am very impressed, i turned on the new Mini and it asked if i wanted to restore and gave me a few options. i chose the TC and it was off and running, it took about 2hrs. when it finished it was like i was still using the old Mini, a perfect image clone. all my email, pictures, docs, etc. were there just like i left them.
so for those who have never done a restore you have nothing to worry about (as long as your TC doesn't crap out first LOL)

I checked my junk folder (said I had one junk item). I checked it as non junk. After looking at it, I erased it. When I went back to my inbox everything was gone. It didn't go to the trash. I checked the trash, the deleted emails are still there. How can I recover my inbox emails?

Is there any way to get unread messages that have been auto-moved into the Junk folder to be counted in the Dock icon unread count? I keep Mail hidden and like to see just from the Dock when I get mail, and sometimes "junk" mail can be real mail from a new sender, a company, etc. I've tried the neat little menu extra Manila Mail, but it doesn't work there either (I'm guessing it just gets the unread count from the same place that Mail's Dock icon does).

All of a sudden, mail.app no longer applies the Junk mail rules. Although the messages are identified as junk, they are no longer moved to the Junk folder on my iMAP server.
I'm running Leopard 10.5.2 My settings are in the attached screenshot.

I have an iMac and a MacBook Pro. Mail is configured exactly the same on both. Specifically:
1) Under Preferences->Junk->Exempt: the "Sender of message is in my Address Book" is checked.
2) There are no Rules other than the default.
Junk filtering works well on the MacBook Pro (a newer install that has been "learning" for a month or two. The iMac on the other hand insists on moving messages from known senders to the Junk folder. By known sender, I mean addresses that are in my address book. The iMac is 2 years old so I'm assuming it has "learned" much more about junk mail than the MacBook. I'd be willing to reset the junk history on the iMac. Both systems are running up-to-date Leopard.

I've been trying to automate scanning to my printer to create a virtual colour copier and came across some automator scripts (very simple). However, when I try to use the "Print Images" action it results in junk text printing instead of the image. I then took a step back and tried printing a JPG file directly by dragging and dropping onto a desktop printer icon and I get the same result. This is therefore not an automator issue. I also tried this on both an HP Photosmart P1100 and an HP Laserjet 4 Plus and get the same result on both. Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong? Running fully updated 10.6.2 and can print images just fine to either printer from applications such as Preview or iPhoto.
