mac mini

My MacBook Pro is being repaired (because the battery needs replacing and it's glued in, making it very difficult to replace) and I had to dig an old Mac Mini out of the closet to continue working. The machine is from 2007 I believe, Core 2 Duo with 2GB or RAM, running Snow Leopard. It's been...

Hi to all the good folks of Mac rumors! I've been reading up on Macs for music for a couple of years and recently decided to make the leap from PC based music production to Logic Pro X, and of course Mac. I bought a Mac Mini 2012 (i7 2.3GHz/16GB/1TB) with 1TB SSD as the sole drive. The Mac...

Grabbing a mini for a project to work on/a spare computer and found a mid 2011 Mac mini server I7 and a late 2013 Mac mini 2.5 ghz i5 for the same price. Will be doing the same ssd/ram upgrades. Which you suggest I grab? Not sure if the quad core on the previous year is faster than the base...

Since there isn’t much in the way of Mac mini rumors at this point in time, other than the PR statement Tim Cook put out last fall claiming the Mac mini is still an important product for Apple (the treatment of it following the Late 2012 seems to suggest otherwise), I’m curious what you think...

So I've been tinkering with the idea of getting an eGPU for my 2014 Mini, as I'm doing more and more FCP work on it for work. It does the job now, the time to render/export isn't too bad but making this quicker would be better, right? Also, I can salary sacrifice a laptop every year so I'm just...

Hi All, I am new here and have only posted once before and had such a wonderful response (THANK YOU- AGAIN!) that I thought it only natural to ask here about the issues I have been dealing with and how to fix them! So... I have a mac book pro (2012) and I have two older (maybe 2010 or older?)...

I've used Macs since they came out. I used to routinely zap PRAM about once a year as part of regular maintenance or when boot problems arose. Over the years, maybe 5-10 years ago, zapping the PRAM didn't seem to help so much, so I drifted away from using it and didn't miss it. I love Mac...

Hi there, My Mac mini G4 does not work with any hdmi displays (dvi to hdmi)... I have confirmed that it works with a dvi displays but no with any hdmi ones any ideas???

I work for a college and we have some Mac Mini's that some run Mac, and some run Windows. This particular one however, crashed during windows install (before bootcamp). Now when it is turned on the windows splash screen comes up, and if no buttons pushed (f12, f2) it says something to the...

Hey all, am hoping this is the right place to be posting this. Have mainly posted about my various Minis here since the (still running) early 2009 model. In 2014 and 2015 I began hoarding the late 2012 era minis, picked up one new and a couple refurbs from Apple, quad-core i7s. I run a lot of...

Greetings: I purchased a used Mac Mini off eBay in 2014, but didn't fully appreciate the fact that the previous owner still had an iCloud account attached to it. All of a sudden the Mac Mini has been locked out with a message to call a Chicago area phone number. I called that number but the...

I am converting to Apple....finally...looking at Mac Mini, and the Dell 27"U2718Q. Seeing mixed reviews- anyone care to chime in?

Our house has 2 main Macs (iMac with about 600GB used and my MacBook pro with about 900GB used). We also have 4 iPhones and 2 iPads. On the two Macs we unfortunately have 2 different Photos libraries from over the years.....one with about 50k photos/videos and another with about 40k -- many...

Hi guys, Is Mac mini 2014 2.6 ghz (i5), 8GB, version with HDD still viable in 2018 ? I want to get into IOS development, mainly with Unity. I will not use it for desktop/console games but my concerns are about the small mac will not be able to keep with the latest osx (high sierra) and xcode +...

I have a mid 2011 Mac Mini. While following instructions for upgrading my hard drive to an SSD, I disconnected the fan's 4-pin connector from the board and two of the wires came out of the plastic connector. I'm having a really hard time getting them back in there. One side of the plastic for...

Hello Does anyone know if there is a remote control available that will control the Mac Mini in the same way that a mouse or trackpad does? I want to be able to control the cursor so that I can navigate itunes or the desktop by moving the remote and clciking when the cursor is over the item I...

Hi, sorry if this this posted in the wrong place, but this is happening on my mac mini (MAC OS X 10.7.5) so I thought I would post it here. Whenever I trash a video or a picture or a song etc, and empty the trash, the file still seems to be present in finder. I cannot open it though. For...

Hi fellow Mac users, Let me explain the problem I’m having as short as possible. I have a mac mini 2012 running headless and serving as a Plex server. I use my Macbook Pro late 2015 to gain access to the mac mini using Screen Sharing. My new Samsung TV has a native Plex App. So far, so good...
