Which Mac Mini and OS please?


i have variety of apple devices:
running iphone 3gs , 4s , iphone touch on ios 4.2 8

have ollllddd powerpc g5 non intel want upgrade mini dont know os should suit handheld devices (not mine family's) main use sync them itunes.

current os on powerpc g5 10.5.8

safe go 10.8 say?

im assuming current software wont transfer newer mac mini (looking 2nd hand).

appreciated narrow search.
 

scenario #1
if have powerpc software, think latest osx has rosetta included in installation dvds snow leopard. you'll want between 2009 , 2010 mini - latter accepts 16gb ram.

scenario #2
don't care powerpc software. in case, think second-hand intel mini suit needs. base 2012 model seems choice. it's latest 1 provide firewire 800 port, can useful if have legacy devices.

Safari and keyword search extensions (or apps)

i use 2 things safari: fastscripts cmd-# shortcuts tabs in safari firefox/chrome (which not necessary in el capitan, thankfully), , safari keyword search keyword searching in bar (e.g., "wp spokane" searches wikipedia article spokane , goes if/when possible). latter: safari keyword search abandonware. creator has nothing on home page nor github in years. there little bug where, inexplicably, dumps saved keywords, requiring manual reimports. i've tried omnikey , don't based on how can't handle encoding of spaces in search strings, how stores saved entries. keysearch: don't know how handles spaces in searches. may abandonware, has not had major update since updated safari 6 years ago. glims: don't know if still around. overkill anyway. have other suggestions on minimalist, still-supported utility keyword searching in address bar? nice able "wp" , "i" , "a" wikipedia / google image / ama...

hey everyone, friend of mine trying install .pkg file , somehow unarchiver became default app use. told him uninstall unarchiver , tried locate installer.app set default, unable locate in mac hd/system/library/core services. running yosemite running mountain lion , assume that's should located. so, test, copied installer.app , told him place in folder. .pkg file recognized installer, not opened (see pic below) i'm assuming crashed because yosemite version won't run on mountain lion (maybe can confirm this). if that's case: 1) can tell me version runs on ml (maybe can check version have)? 2) since i'm not running ml, installer.app lion work (i have friend running lion on mac)? 3) noticed "system" has permissions use installer. have set same permission? if so, how do (can't add system via gui)? side note, told him long ago needs hd use time machine backup hasn't gotten around it. think situation motivate...
