    Old software and VM

    I have an M1 Mac Mini 16 GB / 2 TB. I also have some old software on old iMacs. I was wondering if I could use a virtual machine, like Parallels, to run an older MacOS to access old, EOL'd software. If so, how much would a setup on my Mac Mini cost? How old can the older MacOS be and still run...

    PHILIPS Creator Series 27E2F7901, M1 Mac Mini, Satechi Hub

    In the Spring of 2022, I bought my first-ever and only Mac Mini, an Apple-certified refurbished model with 16 GB RAM and a 2 GB SSD on-board. It was an experiment I had wanted to do, and I had COVID money sitting in the bank, and decided to go for it. For the past couple of years, the Mac Mini...

    I have an M1 Mac Mini from which I need to move the contents as I am upgrading to an M2 Mac Studio. I was going to ask the forum the best way to do this (just double-checking that Apple's Migration Assistant was the best route), when I realised I've got a different issue. I have a 1TB SSD HD on...

    Mac Mini and AirDrop

    I have had my beloved M1 Mac Mini since the spring of 2022. Rugged, dependable workhorse. I recently updated to MacOS Sonoma 14.1 from MacOS Ventura 13. Unfortunately, there was an immediate side-effect: AirDrop started acting up. This happened before, but not recently. Here's how it goes...

    Mac Mini update to Sonoma, now wakes for no reason

    I have had my beloved M1 Mac Mini since the spring of 2022. Rugged, dependable workhorse. I recently updated to MacOS Sonoma 14.1 from MacOS Ventura 13. I will discover in each morning, since the update, that the M1 Mini has awakened from sleep without anyone doing anything. I happened to be...

    I have an M1 Mac Mini connected to a 27" LG 4K monitor via HDMI. I usually have three other apps apart from Finder open at all times. These are: Mail, Firefox and Telegram messenger.

    Monitor / VESA Arm questions

    I bought a factory-refurbished M1 Mac Mini from Apple a few months ago. I did not have the money to buy a new monitor to go with it, but I eventually plan to build up enough money to buy a new 27-inch or 32-inch 4K or 5K monitor for my Mini. For now, I am using a very old Acer AL1716W color...

    Canon G6020 printing blank pages but only with some types of documents and apps

    I have a relatively new Canon Pixma G6020 printer that had been working fine, but for the past two days it has been mostly just spitting out blank pages without even attempting to print (the print heads don't move, and it doesn't take time trying to print, it just slides the page out). This...

    Decent Deal on Desktop Audio

    A couple months ago, I bought a refurbished M1 Mac Mini direct from Apple for a steal of a deal. This machine is snappy! I am going to have to phase-in its use. The start, I'm using a 15-year-old Acer VGA-connected monitor for the video, thanks to an aftermarket Benfei VGA-to-USBC-C adaptor...

    File Sharing between 2013 MBA and M1 Mini?

    Hello everyone! Days ago I started a thread to think which MacBook I should buy. I'm the middle of my PhD and I wanted to replace my 2013 MBA for a M1 MacBook. Nonetheless, the prices are high and I would have to buy even more docks and adapters because the newer models are basically port-less...

    Asus ProArt Thunderbolt Monitor PA32UCX with M1 Mac Mini

    I’ve had this monitor for quite some time, but I’ve always used it via HDMI or DisplayPort, which meant running a separate cable to the host for the integrated USB3 hub. Now that I have an M1 Mac Mini, I figured it’s a good time to actually try using the thunderbolt capability — one cable for...

    I'm starting to investigate work-from-home solutions so that I can stabilize my income while helping my elderly (and not-so-good health) parents.

    Anyone using M1Mac Mini w/ ASD, any performance issues?

    Hello everyone, I have seen this YouTube video where they say that the M1 Mac Mini really slows down while driving the 5K Apple studio display (ASD). Is it true that the 16GB M1 Mac Mini feels sluggish when paired w/ ASD? Do any of you have this setup using ASD w/ M1 Mac Mini, and how's the...

    App Store and Apple Music will not load.

    My son has an M1 Mac mini and he noticed a few months ago that it would not load up his App Store or Apple Music. I tried logging him out of everything and back in, and that didn’t help. Full shutdown and boot up didn’t help. I did some research on what caches to clear to get everything to...
