I wanted to know if the Travel Kit that Apple sells would be compatible with the Mac Mini. I am thinking of buying one in the US for money's sake, and I live in the UK. I just wanted to make sure that if I did get it, it wouldn't be a waste of money.Â

I'll be traveling to remote tribal Ethiopia and would like to use the Cloud for frequent uploading of photos and journal, so that if my laptop or iPad gets stolen, most of my stuff will be safe on my desktop at home. I'm looking for any suggestions that might broadly relate to this. I was planning to get an iPad, but I'd have to lug around a keyboard to use with it (I'm a fast typist on a real keyboard); worst of all, I wouldn't be able to download photos from my (regular style) camera onto the iPad to get them to the Cloud. Apple's "Camera Connection Kit" doesn't seem to be the answer, by the looks of the many bad reviews. Â
So then I started leaning toward the small MacBookAir, which would be only slightly large than the iPad, but have it's own real keyboard AND have all the familiar versions of mail and other apps on it. Plus I could download my camera pics and get them to the Cloud via the laptop. BUT the problem with that is that the laptop won't connect cellularly for uploading to the Cloud—and WiFi won't be nearly as accessible as cellular in these remote areas.

I have a mac book with built in airport. I need to be able to connect to the internet wirelessly when I travel to southern California. I can connect to lynksys here, but in Ca. I don't seem to have a good signal except for hotspot cafes Then they don't always have lynksys. I've tried to find out how to get a better signal, but so far nobody seems to know.

On my keyboard when I push mute or volume up or down, the computer shows the mute/vol up/vol down icon on the screen when I push it and it makes the volume sound, but it does not actually mute the tv or make the volume go up or down. Only the actual TV controls will make it work.

My wife has an older Mac mini that came preloaded with 10.4. The hard drive failed and I have installed a new one, used the 10.4 DVD to format the drive BUT when I try to install the OS, it says I need to install 10.3 first. There is no 10.3 DVD with the mini. It came with 10.4 preloaded and the 10.4 DVD clearly says that is is part of a hardware bundle and not for resale. Nowhere on the DVD does it say "upgrade". How do I get 10.3 or get the 10.4 DVD to work?

View 4 Replies View RelatedPossibly in the market for a MacMini but was wondering how well it would work if I streamed video files, mostly .avi files from an external HD connected to my Airport Extreme. Does processor speed matter, or is more important to have a good WiFi/internet connection?
I was going to buy a Mini and then upgrade the HD/RAM, but if I can get away with getting a base model and simply stream videos and other files from the drives that I have shared over the network, it would certainly save me a ton of money.
My friends Macbook's harddrive died and after successfully replacing it she now wants to reinstall Leopard, but she doesn't have the install disks that came with her Macbook. She has asked to borrow the one that came with my Mac mini, but will this work? I am assuming it only contains the drivers and parts of Leopard needed for a Mac Mini and not a Macbook?
I've got a current gen Mac Mini and she has a plastic Macbook, so they have different graphic cards and what not. Is my disk going to work on her machine?

I have a NIB C2D mini with installed 10.5.4 Leopard. Can I wipe the HHD and then install the 10.4.7 Tiger disk from my earlier model CD mini?
If not, will it work if I install Tiger on an external HD and then firewire it to a wiped C2D?
I have older SW I still want to use and don't need the upgrade Leopard.
I bought a 1.5GHz G4 Mini with Combo Drive. Ordered a Superdrive via eBay and fitted it (2 minute job - done it many times previously). Panasonic Model UJ-846-B march 2008. On this occasion, the drive fails to work. I can insert a disc and eject it (using the button on the front of the drive) but the drive isn't "seen" by the Mini. [URL] I received a second drive from the seller and it has the same problem. I assume that it doesn't have the correct "driver" firmware installed.

My good quality MXL mic won't work with my Mac mini. I've heard this is because Mac minis can't cope with microphones that aren't self-powered! How can that be? Surely the latest Mac Mini has enough umph to power a microphone? My old iMac has no problem seeing the mic. Have I missed a firmware upgrade or something that will enable the Mac mini to 'see' my mic?

I have 4 Mac's in my household, 2 MBP's, a Mac Pro ,and a Mac Mini. I can find the Mac Pro and both MBP's on Back to my Mac but the problem is with the Mac Mini.I am able to see any of the computers from the Mac Mini but the Mac Mini won't show up on any of the computers. This would be the case using Back to My Mac and won't even work on the Finder within the home network. The Mac Mini simply won't show up in the Finder.
I have Leopard on the system with the latest updates and have gone through the settings and can't find anything that is turned off.

I was getting ready to plug it into my monitor, which I used on my old Windows Machine, and I realized that the Mac Mini would not plug into my monitor.

I do not want to buy an Apple monitor because they are too expensive for me.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI just took possession of a C2D Mini. I am unable to get digital audio to work so far. I use the same cable and receiver connections that I use on my 2009 Mini so I know they're good, but nothing. When I plug the cable in, it mutes the internal speaker, so it's detecting the audio cable. System Prefs > Audio shows digital audio, and won't let me adjust volume as I'd expect. I've tried a shared iTunes library as well as web based audio, but no luck.

I have a Mac Mini, and recently I buy a television by Sony 3d (46"). For my surprise, the television don't accept the signal from Mac Mini. On the screen appears the message (Signal Incompatible). I change all configurations, but nothing. I call to Sony and they don't have idea about the problem.

Have it hooked up to creature speakers, which never had an issue before. Sometimes if I fix disk permissions (which disk utility points out but never really fixes) and zap the PRAM, after a few restarts the audio will work. But right now mac mini is acting like it isn't connected to its speakers. Even the internal one. The previous owner did upgrade the RAM to 3 gigs...
