mac mini

I have two old Mac products - a Mac mini (late 2012, 16gb ram, 1TB SSD) and a MacBook Pro (8,1 late 2011, 8gb ram, 500gb SSD) that I will be keeping; I have upgraded them since my old desktop is getting long in the tooth (iMac 7,1 A1225!) and I'll look to be selling it soon. So, I need...

I have a late 2008 (3,1) Mac Mini with High Sierra that I have just upgraded with dosdude1 script. I had stopped using it years ago because it stopped doing the only job I could find for it, which was to broadcast my music and video collection with Plex. Ples stopped supporting the OS and I...

I have just revived an old 2009 Mac Mini (3,1) with High Sierra. it went from essentially a high tech paperweight to a pretty useful machine in less than an hour. I am thrilled. The SSD alone speeds up things dramatically and I am looking to upgrade the RAM (currently 3GB for some reason). I...

i love my mini, i started with 8gn ram and an rx 580 and its made my work flow easy, finally got around to upgrading and maxing the system specs out

I am connecting a brand new Mac Mini (2020) via its HDMI (2.0) connector with a HDMI to DVI cable to an 1080p external monitor on Catalina 10.15.4. The display shows a black screen and the only way to see the image is to disconnect the cable from either end (HDMI or the DVI) and connect it...

After installation of this version of 10.2.7 directly on my Mac mini, I was able to boot into Jaguar. For some reason, on 10.2.7 the Mac mini would not mount any disk images. This is fixed by updating to 10.2.8. To install the 10.2.8 combo update I installed it to the Jaguar partition from my...

The story. After Security Update 2020-002 High Sierra my Mac mini mid 2011 with AMD HD 6630 immediately restarts on every go to sleep. Moreover, it restarts when idle, so now I need to run CPU-hungry background tasks. It's weird. I tried different OSes, different drives, PRAM and SMC...

Hi, I have a new Thunderbolt 3 OWC SSD external drive that connects to my 2020 Mini's T3 port and even since before I formatted the external (to APFS), I kept getting "Disk Not Ejected Properly"messages as the OWC kept unmounting on its own, even during a clone. I am running Catalina 10.15.3. I...

Hello everyone! My family is currently sporting a late 2009 iMac (yup). It's nearing the end of its road. It's been a brave warrior, but after many years, I need to look into a replacement machine for family use, including some typical home/office use and occasional light engineering work...

Recently moved into a new place with my partner and while I'm a :apple: addict she'd rather I don't infest the vibe of the whole house with tech. We like to play Minecraft together on our own server and I like hosting other simple servers from home. I was using a 2007 Mac Mini but the 3GB Ram...

So I got a Mac mini 2018 and a mini 2012, both of them have this issue, every time I shut them down and turn them on, the apps which should be in "other" folder just come out of the folder, and ordered randomly. Both Macs are running the newest Mac OS, I don't know what the problem is. Is...

Hi. I'm not seeking a solution here (though if you have one, do share!), rather, I was wanting to check that I've tried all sensible solutions before going to Apple. Symptom: Every now and then the Mini freezes for 5 seconds and reboots. Solutions tried: Zapped PRAM, tried TechTool Pro, used...

Hey everyone! I recently acquired a Mac Mini — the late 2012 model. It's up and running, but it's fairly slow, and I'm certain that its performance is related to the slow 500 GB HDD it came with. The hard drive is mechanical, and so I'm thinking of either upgrading the RAM (4GB) or the hard...

I just switched from Sierra to Mojave. Migration assistant my old files. Went to the do the security update. I forget which one, anyway I beehive there is a software issue preventing the boot now. Any help would be great, I would love to not start from scratch. My mac is backed up. so I have...

I am about to pull the trigger on a 2018 Mac Mini. Currently, I have a 2015 MacBook Pro hooked up to two (2) 27" Apple Thunderbolt Displays. These displays are still gorgeous and work great. Furthermore, my eyesight sucks (stigmaitism and near-signed)...so, HD and 4K means nothing to me - not...

I was in the Apple ecosystem pretty much my whole life up until 2018 when my beloved 2011 iMac 27" died due to a failed GPU. Since then, I've been all in PC (Windows 10) for all my computing needs but I recently happened upon a Mac Mini 2014 (it was headed for the dumpster of all places, and I...

I want to restore my Time Machine backup from my now-dead iMac onto a new Mac Mini, but since I'd like to do this right the first time, I have some questions before I proceed. (I realize this should be a simple operation, but I'm just being cautious.) The Time Machine backup exists on a 1TB...

I recently got my hands on a Mac Mini 2011 off a friend however it seems to be suffering from the dreaded vertical lines. I have looked around however I can't find too much on it, especially blue-ish colored lines. The system will turn on, load with the Apple logo, it gets stuck around 3/4 of...
