Retrocopatibility between the latest Mac OS and the old Mac Mini

Hello

I m trying to buy a Mac Mini used for my son but I want a machine that can use the latest Mac OS today and at least the next operating system.

I know that older machines cannot use the operating system more recent (I had this problem with a MacBookPro). Where can I get information on this to avoid buying too much a machine old and limited in this respect?

Thank you very much for your help.

Best.

The Mac mini 2010 aka. Mac mini 4.1 or later supported El Capitan (the current version) and macOS Sierra (next version) of the Mac operating system. While the older models of Mac minis are also supported El Capitan they will not support Sierra.

    Make sure you get 3 USB hubs say that will work with a Mac.

  • What is the relationship between the library of Photos and the iPhoto library?

    I'm asking this question here because I can't find all the relevant information online.

    I was dealing with imac a client recently who had a full boot drive. I noticed that his old iPhoto library used 126GB while she had already made the transition to the Photos. His photo library said that he was using a lot more (200 + if I remember correctly). I copied the iPhoto on an external drive library and deleted. Then, I opened the contents of the package and imported pictures remains in program pictures to make sure that I wasn't actually remove all of his memories. Once the work is finished, I was surprised to see that there are more than 6 GB of free space on his computer. What gives? Is there a relationship between the old iPhoto library and new photo library? If so, what is it? Is what I did without danger? I understand at the time that she will not be able to return to iPhoto. But what I'm missing?

    Thanks in advance for your comments.

    No - they are totally separate - connection or relationship of any kind is not

    or the other can be deleted without any effect on the other - but it won't save much space at all and is not recommended - which is exactly what you have seen- Photos saves disk space to share images with your iPhoto or Aperture - Apple Support libraries

  • Can I connect my Mac Mini 2011 my end of 2014 Mac Mini using Thunderbold cable to double the RAM?

    My Mac Mini end of 2014 cannot add everything exceeds 8 GB RAM cable.

    I don't know why Mac was given the opportunity to add more RAM as applications become more and more wide and double my RAM will allow me to run applications of additional third party all in post processing my images.

    I have my Mac Mini 2011 with a Thunderbolt Plug and a delay in 2014 with 2 Sockets Thunderbolt

    I just want to connect two computers so that I can use 8 + 8 = 16 GB of RAM for photography post-processing.

    Buy everything just a Thunderbolt Apple cable to connect two computers and be speed up along?

    I'll probably have to update the old OS Mini at El Capitan

    Thank you!

    No. but you can connect both via TB for quick file sharing

  • How can I stop Firefox to crush a new tab on the old?

    I'm trying to find a way for me to get a new tab on the presentation of a new URL. Because I want to pass between the old an new tab in the tab bar. I can't find the solution and therefore Firefox always replaces the previous tab in the tab bar. Can anyone help?
    Daviault

    For links in pages, or bookmarks, in addition to the context menu, you can use these methods to open a link in a new tab:

    • CTRL + click (hold down the CTRL key and click on the link)
    • Middle-click (use the scroll of your mouse wheel click the link)

    If you type a URL in the address bar and you want to open in a new tab, you can:

    • Hold down the ALT key and press enter
    • CTRL + click the 'go' at the end of the address bar

    There are a few modules focus on the tab with a superb range of features, which can be always open in a new tab. I haven't checked this myself, but these are very popular and could be a good place to start your search:

  • importing data from the old system to the new system, key to the raw16 column

    Hi, experts,

    now I have a new system, the design of the system is to use raw (16) column as the key column in all tables of database.
    of course, when the new system goes live (in production), new records of transactions are written to the new database system.
    When the new system inserts new records, it manages itself to avoid any conflict of the raw key column value (16)


    Now, I'm dealing with this problem:

    I need to import data from the old system to the new system, I use sys_guid() to fill the column raw (16) into the new database system.
    How can I avoid conflicts of raw column value (16) between the old system data and the new data of database system?

    the sql code I write is very simple:

    insert into new_sys_table_a (key_column_raw_16,...,...)
    Select sys_guid(), old_sys_col_a, old_sys_col_b
    of old_sys_table_a;
    insert into new_sys_table_a (key_column_raw_16, col1, col2 )
    select key_column_raw_16, col1, col2
    from old_sys_table_a;

  • 8.5.1 LabVIEW Student Edition - differences between the Mac and Windows versions?

    Hello

    I just bought the student of LabVIEW 8.5.1 version and I use Mac OS X 10.4.11. What are the biggest differences between the Mac and Windows versions, since the box came with a CD of installation of Mac and a Windows DVD Installer?

    See you soon

    Looks like you got the LabVIEW Student Edition Software Suite DVD.

    It comes with 6 boxes to tools, and the TME product, some (or all?) of those who are windows only (at least 8.5), for example:

    • Toolkit Digital Filter Design
    • Modulation Toolkit
    • SignalExpress
    • ...

    Since you have 8.5, you are missing also a few basic things that only recevied at the 8.6MAC support, like Mathscript, Control design and Simulation and native 3D graphics.

  • Lack of consistency between the files in the Organizer 11 items and Finder (mac). Why?

    I use elements 11 Organizer and editor of Photoshop elements on a mac (OS X 10.8.2).)

    I have problems after I made some changes in the image folder on mac and after move/remove folders directly in multimedia. Now, there is Noah coherence between the visible folders/files in Finder/photos and in my files in multimedia.

    An example: directly in the Finder, I created a new folder and moved images of two files that I deleted then. In multimedia, I still see the old structure (no new file - deleted records still includes image files).

    I also have the experience of files in the organizer of items that should not exist. When I right click on the folder, the options "reveal in Finder", "Rename the folder" and "Delete the folder" are shaded out and not clickable.

    I tried to refresh the organizing items, close and restart the mac - nothing works.

    Can someone help me please?

  • What is the difference between the iCloud, which I used on my two mac computers and that I have now with the 6splus of the iPhone? Never had a problem with the storage until I bought the iPhone (former android user).

    I've been using a mac mini to work (my church) and recently I bought a macbook. The iCloud is my favorite piece of this puzzle so I thought I would be nice to add an iPhone - now I use constantly questions with storage on my iPhone. So why now I have an iPhone that is changing my storage capacity?

    It is not clear to me if you have a problem of storage on your iPhone or in iCloud. You can go to settings > general > storage & use of iCloud. Note that there are then 2 sections on this screen - storage (which is on your phone) and iCloud. Each section has a storage management where you can see more details.

  • Numbers works "in full transparency between the Mac and iOS devices' in order to pass ads. HOWEVER, the data is not saved when my computer is saved, NOR does iCloud save it. iCloud lost my data is GONE!

    As a user of 30 years of Apple, I love the products and use my iPhone, iPad 2 and a Mac Mini with full transparency, as advertised until all my files of numbers, lacked a day. That's when I discovered that since they are on cloud backup system is not save, and it seems that Apple only reinforced their cloud either. So 'transparent' really means that you continually save them on your computer so that they will be backed up. Isn't it PERFECTLY! Any ideas on how I can find my missing files? I waited on the engineers of apples for well over a month now...

    I would be grateful all the ideas,

    Paul

    I do not know "seamless" means you don't have to give any thought whatsoever to the configuration of your backup system intelligently.

    What backup system you use?

    And when you say "on the cloud" what cloud say you?

    I keep my numbers documents in iCloud and use Time Machine to back up my Mac (including local copies of documents stored in iCloud).  It works well here.
