mac mini

My Mac mini's combo drive is a little screwy. Ever since I bought it, I haven't been able to burn CD-Rs at 24x. Toast will let me select 24x or 16x, and its progress indicator will show the amount of time it should take at that speed, but the actual time it takes is more like 8x (which is to...

Hiya: I felt the need to splurge today, and bought a D-Link DI-604 Ethernet Broadband Router. I dunno why I did, but I did, and nonethless I'd like to make it work ;) I have a Mac Mini (Running OSX 10.4) and a Windows PC (Running Windows XP SP2). I'd like to share files between them...

Currently I use a mac mini and the DVI - VGA adaptor which is connected to a iiyama 19'' CRT monitor. Something I noticed is, that the Mac mini's output is dim and a bit blurry compared to my other machines. So far I tested my ibooks's external VGA output (same resolution > 1280x1024 @...

While trying to delete the pairing with my phone, I accidentally deleted the pairing with my Apple Bluetooth keyboard. Oops. No problem. I'll just re-pair them. Tried it, and it asks me to type in the 6 character code. I acknowledge, but for some reason it would not receive the keystrokes...

Well, I tried the free mac mini website and got the base 1.42Ghz Mac mini model out of it. Success, but not without cost :) I would really like to add the dvd-r drive to it and also the airport and bluetooth module however I am nowhere near an apple store and I don't have personal access to a...

I'm contemplating buying either a Mac Mini 1.42GHz w/1GB RAM or a dual processor G4 800 w/1GB RAM for around the same price. Is there one that would be more suitable for using with iLife '05 to create DVDs with the video from my Sony TRV-25 digital camcorder? Thanks for any suggestions you...

Last thursday our Mac minis arrived after waiting a good month for delivery. The wait was painful, I could not get much done on the PC which was about to be sold, I got sick of looking at it. My partner too was looking forward to the Mac and being able to get rid of the buzzing PC horror which...

OK, this is a biggie so grab a coffee, shisha, cigarrete or anything else you're acustomed to and be amazed and dazzled by my tale of woe... My new Mac mini came the other day and I've been loving it (not literally but only because of willpower), until I adjusted the monitor settings, when I...

Literally got the new MAC Mini out of the box a few minutes ago. Need to edit the hosts file, so I can give a fake domain for local web development. Read many articles, but they all seem to miss the fundamentals for newbies. First I created a new setting in NetInfo, with the host name and...

Hi! I have just ordered a Mac mini with bluetooth and Airport. When it arrives it would be nice to have a wireless lan connection ready. I have positive experience from having used a netgear RP614 for a while, and would like to exchange it for a similiar type, but wireless. Is there any model...

Had a mini (pardon the pun :)) brainstorm a few minutes ago - Mac mini requires a keyboard, Treo 650 requires a keyboard (if you want to touch type). Is there such a thing as a keyboard (wired or wireless) which could be used for both devices? Kap

hey got a mac mini. Upgraded to 512 startight away. First stick was kingston, lasted a few hrs then got a kernel panic. Then got PNY from CompUSA. lasted a few weeks and it went bad too. Apparently I need to be more picky here? I was getting brand name 3200 memory. Would a mail order...

Well I've brought a Powerbook G4 Backlit Keyboard awhile back even before I got my mac mini. Anyways is there a connector out there so I can hook the keyboard up to my mac mini. I just LOVE the backlit keyboard on the Powerbooks. It's useful and not gimmicky. Anyways is there some sort of...

I just got a Mac Mini not too long ago. It has 256MB of RAM which I have found to be slow at times. I was wondering if this would be good RAM to upgrade it with: http://www.crucial.com/store/MPartspecs.Asp?mtbpoid=01103390A5CA7304&WSMD=Mac+mini+%28G4+%2D+1%2E42GHz%29&WSPN=CT431639 If not...

I am considering the purchase of a Mac Mini in an effort to get familiar with programming with Objective-C. Would this be a good Mac to start off with for programming? Would compiling be particularly slow or fairly reasonable?

Why does the Mac Mini almost make me excited but leaves me unstirred? 1. Needs dual gigabit ethernet ports, it has only one 100mbit ethernet port 2. Needs at least one Firewire 800 port 3. Overpriced by exactly $100.00 dollars. 4. The Mini shouldn't have an internal CDROM drive. I'd rather...

I just got a Mac Mini. The specs are as follows: • RAM: 256MB (Will probably be upgraded) • CD Drive: the ComboDrive (can read DVDs and burn CDs) •*Hard Drive: 80GB • Mac OS X Version: 10.3.8 • Misc: Apple Keyboard and an old USB optical PC mouse that works great on Mac (it's also nice too...

Hello, I ordered a mac mini a few weeks ago and expect it to be delivered within 2 weeks. I would like to install a new, faster hard drive as soon as I get it. Does anyone have experience with the Hitachi 60GB 7200RPM? I am concerned about the amount of heat generated and whether or not the...

Okay, So i bought my 1.42GHz Mac mini, and was trying to save money by buying ram on eBay... Yeah I know, never again will I do this. And yes I know i dont have a warenty anymore... Moving on... I bought this...
