• can I connect a mac mini to existing imac?

  I have an iMac with a perfectly fine display 10.4, but I'm not able to upgrade more. I wonder if I can connect a mac mini and upgrade using my keyboard and screen of the iMac.

  Hi readingteacher,.

  Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. I understand that you want to use your older iMac as a display of your Mac Mini. I am pleased to provide you with some information about this process.

  This article has some good information on what is needed to turn your iMac in a view:

  Use your iMac as a display with the target Display Mode

  As you can see, it takes an iMac compatible with 10.6.1 or later. Since your iMac seems to be a G5 with 10.4.8, I'm afraid that it is not compatible with this feature.

  I hope this helps clear of the things up. See you soon!

  You should be able to, given the Mac Mini has the correct connections (in this case, a Thunderbolt connection).

• 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

• connection ethernet Mac mini

  My Mac Mini (latest model 2014) suddenly stopped to connect to my network home yesterday. I can still connect wirelessly, but not via the ethernet cable.

  I tried to connect the Mac Mini to different ethernet ports, without passing through routers and switches and using different cables. But it doesn't go anywhere.

  Other computers (Windows) to connect very well to all ethernet ports.

  Can someone tell me how I can determine if this is a hardware problem or a software problem?

  In Network preferences, he says just "Cable Disconnected".

  Thank you
  Ian

• Is it possible to connect my Mac mini to my Mac Pro laptop using the memory on my mac mini for installing software Ableton as I don't have 3 GB available on my Mac Pro.

  Is it possible to connect my Mac mini to my Mac Pro laptop using the memory on my mac mini for installing software Ableton as I don't have 3 GB available on my Mac Pro.

  I want to download Ableton software, but it requires 3 GB of free memory that I have available on my MacPro laptop not because most of it is used for my library of music because I'm a DJ.

  I'm not sure how I can do it or not at all.

  Thank you very much.

  1. a Mac Pro is not a laptop. Its a big desktop computer.  You probably have a MacBook Pro, which is a laptop.

  2. No, you cannot share the memory (live RAM) or storage (disk space, which is not memory) like that between computers.

  However, it is very very bad practice to have so little storage space available for your computer.   If you have less than 3 GB, you should seriously consider an external drive. and unload some files on the outside. Its best not to leave your hard drive to go below 10 GB of free space because it can seriously affect your computer's performance.

  Hello ifixer2,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  No, you need two or more Mac computers that meet the following requirements to use Back to My Mac:

  What you'll need

  To configure and use Back to My Mac, you need these things:

  • Two or more Mac computers that use the same account iCloud on OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later version.
  • A Terminal supported access AirPort (AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express or AirPort Time Capsule) or other Internet router that supports UPnP or NAT - PMP protocol, with the latest firmware available. AirPort base stations require version of firmware 7.6.1 or later for Back to My Mac.
  • Utility airPort 6.3 or later.
  • For screen sharing, a 300 Kbits/s-or-more rapid, bidirectional (high-low) Internet connection between computers. You may be able to use with slower connections to share files. If file sharing doesn't work as you think, check your settings and connections.
  • A firewall that allows remote connections. Some firewalls may prevent some back to my Mac connections. For example, when you're at home, don't maybe not able to connect you to your Mac at work. But when you're at work, you might be able to connect to your Mac at home. If you are not sure if the firewall will allow the back to my Mac connections, check with the network administrator for your organization.

  If you want to use an AirPort Extreme or airport Time Capsule to access files on a hard drive external, you need a Mac OS extended (journaled) formatted USB hard drive. When you use with Back to My Mac, your hard drive is displayed as the base under shared in the sidebar station Finder.

  Set up and use Back to My Mac

  Take care.

• Get the error message "Windows must be enabled before you can connect. You want to activate now.

  Original title: impossible to activate Windows XP

  I had to reinstall XP Professional. Now, when I start the computer get a message saying "Windows must be enabled before you can connect. You want to activate now? ». When I click on Yes, the desktop backround sometimes nothing happens. the activation wizard does not open and no error message appears always.

  Hi Dale,

  Since you are not able to open a session in normal mode, log in in safe mode and perform a few steps that would help you solve the problem.

  Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed.

  Perform the steps mentioned below and see if it helps.
  a: turn on your PC
  b: Press F8 repeatedly , then in Mode safe
  c: Logon as per normal
  (Note: administrator password is usually empty, but I hope you know your password)
  d: Authorize the Office to load completely (who answered "Yes" to continue mode without failure)
  (Note: this is just a long way to say go to Safe Mode)
  e: Click Start - run
  f: type exactly: rundll32.exe syssetup, SetupOobeBnk (then click OK)
  (Note: a single space after 'rundll32.exe' also the Oo are two letter o in "oobe"; capital and the comma are important)
  g: Wait a few seconds (although you won't see any change)
  h : Restart your PC normally (start - stop - restart - Ok)
  i: You will be able to return to the Normal Mode.

  Good day!

  Answer please if you have any questions.
