Hi Guys,
I just bought Studio Display and have been fiddling to make it work with iMac 12015 (TB2) and Mac Mini (TB3) using a splitter/hub but it doesn't seem to work.
I can confirm that I've successfully connected iMac 12015 (TB2) to Studio Display using Apple's TB3 to TB2 adapter and Apple's...
I’ve realized that I might have to spend more than $100 to have a decent monitor, but I don’t want to spend a ton because I don’t plan for my future Mac Mini to be my main source of screen time. So, I’ve got three that I’m currently looking at. This Asus, this AOC or this LG. I’m also still...
Ok, clickbaity title aside, setting the Mac Mini up like this raised my wifi strength from under 60 % to 93 % and extended my Bluetooth range from a spotty 1 m to rock solid whole room coverage. It runs noticeably cooler and I have easy access to all the ports and the power button.
This is a...
The M4 Mac mini looks like a true bargain but the M4 Pro Mac mini seems like it will compare poorly against the future M4 Mac Studio for those who want more memory and can wait a few months. Apple has been holding the line on prices and doubling memory on the base models. With this in mind:

Hello everyone,
I need some buying advice. After a week of making offers and such on eBay, I've finally found a seller who will work with me. I have the option of a M1 Mac Mini 8gb/256gb for $275. The storage isn't a concern for me but I would prefer 16gb, I just can't find any deals within my...
I'm gonna travel to Orlando/Miami in April 2025 and planning on buying a new Mac Mini there. But looking at Best Buy for example all of their Minis are standard. I want the M4 Pro with 48gb ram.
How do I get my hands on that? I can't order without a US adress, and since i'm gonna be over there...
Hello!
I am curious to know - what peripherals would you buy to add to a M4 mac mini that would create a package that would be cheaper but just as good quality, than the 10-core M4 iMac? Or maybe peripherals that add up to about the same price as the iMac, but better quality.
Is this possible...
Hi! I currently have an M2 Max Studio (32GB RAM, 1TB storage). It's way overpowered for my needs (I basically do text editing, watch videos on YouTube, very light and infrequent video editing, 842,49 GB available in my hard drive... you get the idea).
Now, I was wondering if it would be a good...

Hey guys. I’ve had this concept for a while, but just now showed up around here. Anyways, if one was to get an Mac mini and a cellular iPad, ( in my case an iPad mini 6 for maximum portability) could you use sidecar to use the mini as a screen and use hotspot to supply the wi-fi for the Mac...
Still running my 2017 MacBook Pro with Monterey, but sadly my 2012 Mac Mini died on me this past February. Which was my main desktop for work. But it was getting long in the tooth anyway and I need to replace it. For years I've been thinking about just building another PC. I used to build them...

Hi group, need some advice/options on a small roadblock in uploading my wife’s iPhone pictures onto my desktop.
My wife has over 100GB of photos and videos she’s never deleted and has had a dependable windows laptop in some years. I bought a new Mac mini earlier this year and I figured maybe I...
I'm acquiring a 2012 Mac Mini and a bunch of LaCie 2big RAID enclosures, with the intention of making a FreeBSD/ZFS file server.
Some of these enclosures would connect over FireWire 800, but the Mac Mini only has one port. They would be daisy-chained using FW800 cables.
In a situation where...
Help and advice needed.
For a planned project which involves using Mac OS9/Classic software, I needed a G4 and opted for a Mac Mini (it’s small).
The one I bought on eBay is in great condition, but refuses to send a signal to my monitor. The monitor, a 21in Acer works 100% (on both HDMI and...
My second computer is a late 2012 Mac Mini, 500 GB internal HD, 16 GB RAM. It is running Catalina.
I only use this for streaming the internet with my kids, nothing else at all is important to me to run on this computer. I have NordVPN installed.
When I run a speed test (firefox) without...
I've had the Satechi USB hub (with SSD) for my M2 Pro Mac Mini for a year now. I suppose it's inevitable that all these devices further diminish the wifi on the Mac mini which already has poor wifi? Regardless (I'm wired), my issue is the USB performance.
I'm looking for a USB hub that can...

So my 2018 Mac mini decided to act up this week. I thought I’d upgrade to Sonoma.
Big mistake. Unfortunately it got stuck in a loop trying to download then would crash.
I decided to reinstall from my Time Machine back up. That just lead to more issues. Ended up with Ventura (but not very...
