mac mini

I’ve started a new job, so i was handed over a Mac mini but some functions and shortcuts aren’t working properly. Let me explain. When I’m in In design all my shortcuts works perfectly. When I’m in Photoshop or in Freehand and I’m using my shift button it doesn’t seem to work. I’m trying...

So in the nearish future I hope to upgrade from my iBook G4 to a desktop. My dad just got a 2.4GHz iMac, and it was very impressive. I'm trying to decide between that, or a Mac mini. I liked the new keyboard but also love mine, and my 19" LCD monitor is perfectly acceptable. The issue is in...

So I just got a new Lacie Ethernet Disk mini that I'll be hooking up to my router. I also have a "spare" Mac mini that I thought about using as a file server. Both would just be connected to the router. Which do you think would be faster in terms of access speeds? The Mac mini or the Lacie...

Hey there. Im currently trying to talk my mum into getting a mac mini. her computer tech guy is talking her into getting a computer off him though. We currently have an old HP PC from about 2000. The screen is pretty crap (expecially after using cinema displays) but it does still work fine. I...

I am very stupid because I had a stroke. Every few months I lose everything and have to start over. I forget everything and do not even remember what the icons on my desktop do. I have not found any backup software that I can understand to restore my system. I reloaded the OSx again...

I just upgraded my Mini (1.83 Duo) from 1Gb to 2Gb. Doing it myself, first time inside a Mini. Now I no longer have sound, either internal or external. No Bong on startup. Wondering if that little black cable you have to take off when disassembling has something to do with sound, and if I...

I tried to find this topic using various combinations of keywords but had no luck. I have a Mac Mini that runs both OS9 and OSX. I also have a G4 tower that ran OS9. I have only one monitor and keyboard, currently hooked up to my Mac Mini. Is there a quick and easy way to plug the G4 into...

Hi, I have a Intel Core Duo 1.66GHz mac mini and I've heard that the core duo and core 2 duo are pin compatible and as such the mac mini should be capable of being upgraded to a core 2 duo processor right? If so, which of the core 2 duos would work in the mac mini? (Since I believe there are...

Hello, my mac mini is a year old now. My applecare just got expired last Jan 19. Too bad :( My superdrive is not working well on burning DVDs. I usually use one brand (iomega) never had any problems for that whole year not until today. I tried 10 different dvdr medias & tried at lowest...

I recently connected my Mac Mini to my Sony KDL-40XBR2 LCD TV. I used a DVI-to-HDMI cable to connect it to an HDMI switcher, and the switcher is connected to the TV. Everything went fine for about 30 seconds. Then some lines started flashing on the screen. The image problems quickly worsened...

Hi folks, I am new to the forum, having recently bought an Intel based Mac Mini to use as a Media Center. The machine is great, however, I have my Mini in a separate room at home and I want to control it via the bluetooth keyboard and mouse from my living room. The range for both these...

[disclaimer: This may be a beginner's question] I recently upgraded my Mac Mini to a 1920 x 1080 display. The system seems to be running slower than before since. Could this display resolution upgrade be the cause of this? If so, I am wondering if upgrading the system's main memory...

Hi I have recently attempted to upgrade the memory in my mac mini 1.25ghz to its maximum capacity of 1gig. I've ordered the correct ram, pretty sure of that. I got it installed but when booting I get a loud beep indicating that the machine does not recognise the ram. Has anyone had any...

Hi, I have a used mac mini and there is some odd residue on some parts of the top shiny area of the mac mini, anyone have any recommendations of ways to get rid of the residue? I've tried water and rubbing alcohol but to no avail...thanks! :)

I am in search of an easy to use solution to matching my Mac Mini to my 50 Inch Samsung Plasma TV. I am trying to get full screen resloution through a DVI to HDMI cable. I want to accomplish this without the overscan option. Anyone know of any programs to make this a reality?

Ok so I mistakinly bought a used mac mini off ebay (not realising that a brand new one from the apple store would've cost just as much and would've allowed me to avoid this hassle ><) and it looks ok cosmetically, but the cd/dvd drive is another story...it has a weird issue of being able to read...

Over the next year, I plan on buying, one by one, components for a Mac Mini/EyeTV HDTV media centre. My first purchase will be a Dell, then I plan on buying a Mini post-MacWorld 2007. I'm thinking a 20" or 24" Dell UltraSharp is a good buy, but I need some advice from the experts before I...

This is probably a really silly idea, but is it possible to hook up a Mac Mini to an Intel iMac? Oh, and btw, i haven't got either one yet. I'm asking this perhaps really silly question mainly because i'd like to install Windows XP. But i'd like not to have it anywhere near my new iMac when i...
