Apple TV with Mac Mini question

I'm looking into getting an older Mac mini to use as a server for my 4th generation, Apple TV, when I went with my laptop.  I understand that El Captain can be installed in a Mac Mini it's early 2009 or earlier, but since I don't use it as a computer I'm not to care of that!  I was wondering if anyone new how old of a Mac Mini, I could get and have even the Apple TV to be able to see the Mac mini as a server with my media in the iTunes library.  I didn't know that if this type of connection would be lost forever, but wanted to make sure before you buy.  I guess the Min Mac must have at least an Intel processor.

Thanks in advance!

    That is right. The requires iTunes 12.3.3 and in order to get it, you will need to update OS X to El Capitan. That's how Apple has created for better or worse, I'm sorry.

  • Can I connect a non-apple for my mac mini screen

    How to connect a non-apple for my mac mini screen?

    1. see #2.

    2. it depends on what type of cable the monitor has and the Mac mini ports; It is not a difference between an Apple and a monitor no Apple for this purpose. A Mini DisplayPort adapter allows to connect an older display until a Thunderbolt port.

  • LaCie d2 Thunderbolt 2 incompatible drive with Mac mini?

    Hi all-

    Well, I bought a new LaCie d2 Thunderbolt 2 3 TB Lord drive for use with my mac min (mid 2011).  I've used several external drives Seagate Thudnerbolt (1) with the mini (with my monitor beyond chain) without problem.  However when I stop upacked the new LaCie, and plugged my mini and starting chaos ensued.  I have a strong internal drive satate and starting in about 12 seconds.  With the LaCie, it takes nearly a minute and a half.  Then, when the pointer moves the mouse, clicking on does nothing.  After 14 minutes click finally takes effect and seems to operate normally afterwards.

    I closed and returned to my old Seagate Thunderbolt 1 drive and it works fine.  I swapped the cables thunderbolt and used another well-known cable.  I had command of cable on the Thunderbolt of LaCie ports.  I disconnected the monitor of the Thudnerbolt chain and run the drive only.  All to nothing does not.  The LaCie is supposed to be good on system 10.6.8 and later, I am running 10.7.5.

    Anyone know of problems with the current crop of drives LaCie Tunderbolt with Mac mini?  Thanks - Randy

  • SOS 8 disk error / pb with mac mini HD

    Hello

    I have a really hard time for 4 days with my mac mini.

    I had 2 partitions, the first with el capitan, last version update / the second with window 7 via bootcamp

    the first problem that appeared is that none of my software on window wanted to start

    then I tried to clean the window partition to reinstall the window. but when I went to mac to do, I felt that there was a problem on mac too

    I then put onyx who said there was a problem and so I deleted all reformatted 0, took quite a long time

    I reinstalled el capitan, first step, put onyx to check, who said there was a problem (yet).

    I restarted because he asked with cmd - R and did the sos on two HD thing listed:

    the real one APPLE HD HTS5... (it's OK)

    and the one with the single partition that I called mac mini: it cannot be fully verified. and appear in the error no. 8 SOS process failed: the drive could not be completely checked the exit code of the audit is 8: checking or repairing the system files failed. operation failed.

    I guess this isn't normal? What do you thing? What should I do? Thanks in advance for your help. Here's the message (in french)...

  • Scan does not work with Mac Mini Maverick

    Just got a new Mac Mini Maverick.  While the printer (HP Officejet 4500 Wireless) works very well, the scanner does not at all. The installer downloaded the appropriate driver, but the scanner is disabled. Does anyone else have this problem?

    Hello Chata3,

    Welcome to the forums,

    I understand that you are unable to scan from your wireless Officejet 4500 to your Mac with the Mavericks.

    There is no comprehensive driver features available for this model of printer with the Mavericks, which is probably the reason why you are facing this problem. There are, however, bypass the options for you to scan.

    See this link and see under 'How to scan with the Apple Software Update driver'? :

  • Magic keyboard doesn't work don't perfectly with Mac-mini mid 2011

    I am running the latest version of El Capitan (OS 10.11)

    The system version: OS X 10.11 (15A279b)
    Kernel version: Darwin 15.0.0
    Apple Bluetooth software: 4.4.0f4 16320

    These correspond to the requirements of Magic Keyboard (Mac computer compatible Bluetooth with v10.11 OS X or later) according to Apple documentation official http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MLA22LL/A/magic-keyboard-us-english

    If I followed the instructions to connect the keyboard up via Thunderbolt, the keyboard works partially. I can type via Bluetooth.

    However, I can't use the volume buttons to control the sound. When I try to assign or reassign the buttons, I discovered that I can't 'see' the keyboard in Control Panel.

    So, I find it very strange and of course disappointing. I can use Bluetooth, but not make the best use of the characteristics of the material. So sorry to say this, but it feels more like Linux where drivers regularly can make full use of the material and do not like Apple where it should all be integrated from top to bottom.

    The ideas or support would be appreciated.

    PS I have the same problem with the new Magic Trackpad. So it's more than 200 euros for the minimum functions

    If I followed the instructions to connect the keyboard up via Thunderbolt,

    It be USB to lightning, Thunderbolt.

    Check that this block is not checked. You can also try to check it out and then unchecking it.

    PS You should also upgrade to the current version of El Capitan, 10.11.2, build 15 c 50. Updates cover a lot of previous bugs and problems. "15A279b" is not the latest version.

  • Apple tv remote and my mac mini

    I have recently set up a TV and use it for my mac mini, as well as my apple tv.  The apple TV remote seems to exploit both the apple tv and mac mini.  I'm trying to find a way to stop the operation of the mac mini remote control.  I matched the remote with apple TV, but it still seems to cause of my mac mini leave the sleep and open iTunes so I'm trying to browse my apple tv apps and look at something.

    I checked the settings on my mac mini and is States there is 'no distance not matched' with the computer, then, how can I stop the operating distance of the computer?

    Thanks in advance!

    Welcome to the Apple community.

    If you don't want to use a remote control with your computer, the best thing to do is just turn off the IR. (System preferences > Security > general, click on the Advanced button in the lower right corner - if the button is dimmed, click the lock icon and enter your administrators password)

    If you want to continue using your remote computer, then you must match your remote computers with the computer AND the Apple TV remote with Apple TV.

    To match a remote control with a device hold down menu and FF buttons together for six seconds or until you see an icon of the chain on screen (better take the computer in another room, or turn it off, when you do)

  • HP w2207h monitor: HP monitor crashes if connected to the Mac Mini

    My w2207h monitor works fine connected to 2 computers. A Dell laptop connected with a cable HDMI and a Fujitsu PC connected with VGA cable. I spend between the 2 with the menu key of monitors and the function 'change the video input '. However, I just buy a Mac Mini and connected via HDMI but now, pass the VGA to HDMI causes the monitor to crash/power down. Even the light around the power button goes off and nothing works. To relight the monior screen, the only way is to disconnect the cable from power for a few minutes. The monitor works with an another old laptop connected via HDMI as doeas the Mac Mini connected to an old television set. I thought HDMI HDMI was, but this monior dislikes my Mac. Any ideas?

    Thanks for the information Dunidar. A long session, running tests with Apple confirmed that this monitor does not work with Mac Mini. The only solution was to buy a new monitor :-(

  • move a hard drive from MBP 2012 in a mac mini 2009

    Hello

    I bought a 500 GB ssd and I am cloning my macbookpro HD 500 gb on it at the moment.

    I plan to use my macbookpro HD to replace my 120 GB mac mini HD.

    I wonder if it could be possible to put the macbookpro HD in the mini without deleting its content, which would allow me to win time install OSX and the transfer of data from my macbookpro? Would it cause problems?

    I upgraded from the mac mini 8 GB RAM.

    The macbookpro turning El Capitan.

    I just bought used the mac mini and is currently under Leopard, but would like to have of El Capitan on it.

    Thanks for your advice.

    m @.

    The Mini can run 10.11.x, the only thing I'm not sure of is if the supplied Apple MBP 6/Gbs Player supports the Mimi 3/Gbs speed... most do, but...

  • Upgrade to the 6 Fusion on Mac - quick question

    Hi all

    Just upgraded to VMWare 6 on Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks. I discovered today that my Boot Camp Virtual Machine exists in two places: there is a virtual computers folder inside My Documents folder and theres one in Library/Application Support/VMWare Fusion/Virtual Machines/Boot Camp



    So, which one should I use? Should I have them both? Where VM Ware Fusion natively 'points' to?

    Thank you!

    VV5

    No, but when I try to use the file > open in the VMWare menu he can't see it. However, when I file > open recent element, it points straight toward him.

    Can you explain what happens?

    This isn't a matter of VMware Fusion since Apple, starting with Mac OS X Lion, obscures the ~/Library folder by default and therefore you would not see the folder ~/Library file > open... from other applications as well.

    Why you try to open the Virtual Machine Boot Camp in this way?  Just start Virtual Machine from the library!

    In the Finder, in order to see the ~/Library folder one must press the Option key while selecting the menu go to, and then you can choose it from the menu.  While it is fairly easy to do however, despite Apple wisdom (or lack thereof) to make choices not desired for its users, I have often the ~/Library folder so I just unhid it, so I wouldn't have to deal with by pressing the Option key with the Menu go to the Finder.

    To display, it uses the following command in a Terminal...

    chflags nohidden ~/Library

    If you subsequently want to hide...

    Hidden chflags ~/library
