There is no message that tells you what to do. I don’t think this workaround is obvious.
#USE MAC MINI AS SERVER CODE#
So, to authenticate your machine, you must type your password, get the authentication code on another iOS device, and retype the password followed by the authentication code. Let‘s say your Apple ID Password is “Apple” and let’s say your Two-Factor Authentication Code is “199456”, then when you type in your password onto your older Mac, and it asks for two-factor authentication, you will type “Apple199456” as your password.
On older devices, if you type in the Two-Factor Authenticaction Password/Code AFTER the Apple ID passcode, that how you use Two Factor Authentication on older devices.Į.g. An Apple forum post ( titled, Two factor authentication on older Macs 10.6.8 Snow Leopard) has the workaround: It can function as a recording device for an. It can function as a remote collaboration server for DaVinci Resolve editors both local and remote. It can function as a media server, sending 4K streams to your local and remote devices over wifi. The problem is that Yosemite does not give you a dialog box to enter the code to authenticate your machine. Let me introduce you to a few ways that an old Mac mini can be a powerful tool in your home or office. Todays video is how I put my 2012 mac mini to use as a personal home server. If you have two-factor authentication turned on for your iCloud account, then it will not work as you might expect on an old Mac OS. Whats up guys Welcome back to the channel. But Apple doesn’t build servers I hear you say. Hardware The nature of the requirements above means this has to be an Apple server. So, Apple distinguishes a mere “update” and an “upgrade.” I went to the App Store, searched for “Big Sur,” and clicked on “Get.” Then, I ran into a problem with two-factor authentication that I discuss below. Lastly the server will be used for Time Machine Backups of my partner’s MacBook Air, if we can get that to work. If you want to go to another newer OS that is called an upgrade. The App Store only shows updates for the OS you are using at the moment, in your case Yosemite 10.10.5.
#USE MAC MINI AS SERVER UPDATE#
The twist is explained on an Apple forum post (title Mac won’t update past OS X Yosemite 10.10.5):
#USE MAC MINI AS SERVER INSTALL#
I downloaded security updates, but Apple didn’t give options to install a newer operating system. The Mac Mini seemed to be stuck at Yosemite.
#USE MAC MINI AS SERVER HOW TO#
How to Update Upgrade Yosemite to a New OS XCode comes with a C compiler that is needed to compile the JavaScript to C bindings required by Noble package.Īlthough it’s possible to download other C compilers on a Mac, the Noble download page states that Xcode is a prerequisite for Noble. I learned from the explanation of another Homebridge plugin ( homebridge-bluetooth) that Noble requires a C compiler:
#USE MAC MINI AS SERVER BLUETOOTH#
Noble is necessary to communicate via bluetooth with some devices.
The problem is that Noble isn’t being installed. Let me know if you still run into issues after that Please see the noble installation instructions and follow the steps for your platform. There is likely additional logging output above.ĭgreif, the owner of the homebridge-hatch-baby-rest plugin, replied: Apple's littlest Mac is relatively cheap but still very powerful and MacStadium's tutorials could be a start to help you get the most out of your remote mini.2303 error Failed at the install script.Ģ303 error This is probably not a problem with npm. Obviously, these tutorials are for MacStadium's hosted minis, but they should work for any Mac mini you've set up to be accessed remotely. Or you could set up something like Kerio Connect, which serves as a Microsoft Exchange-style way to share and send email, contacts and calendars across a number of different users. You could install a remote Minecraft server on it, for example, creating a world that you and your friends can log into anytime. In fact, not only does MacStadium run hosting, but the company has also been putting up blog posts over the last month or so, going through a few different ways to make use of a connected mini for yourself. Having a remote server all for yourself can be very helpful, and using a Mac mini for the job can be one of the cheapest and easiest ways to do so. The HDMI port on 2014 and later Mac minis supports 4K resolution at 30 frames per second. HDMI is your gateway to connecting the computer and TV since one cable does the job for sound and video. Since 2010, all Mac minis have provided an HDMI-out port. If you have a Mac mini already, you can even send it to them for hosting, or you can rent or buy one yourself right from the company. Now that your content is loaded, connect the Mac mini media server to your TV. MacStadium does remote Mac mini hosting, offering customers a fully connected Mac mini in a secure, controlled datacenter (just like the folks at MacMiniColo, who we've visited and written about before).
