    Help with Snow Leopard on Mac Mini Server 2010

    Hi I'm looking to buy a Mac Mini Server from 2010 and was wondering how (and if) I can install and run Snow Leopard on it. I have a Mac Pro tower running snow leopard, can I use this to downgrade the mini if it's running a higher OS, as it has no drive? I'm still using Macromedia Freehand...

    How to reset to factory settings without password?

    I obtained a Mac Mini my place of work was planning to otherwise throw away. It's an A1347 with three accounts at the login, none of which I have the password for (I already tried the usual ones we use at work) so I plan on going back and asking for one of the passwords, but chances that someone...

    iMac G3 Optical Drive Replacement

    Hey guys. I have an iMac g3 600MHz Graphite (slot loading) and am looking for a replacement optical drive. As is common with these computers, the optical drive stopped working a while back. I decided that instead of simply replacing it with another CD-RW drive, I would upgrade it to a combo...

    Question about APFS on a freshly converted drive

    tl;dr Disk Utility info on my main disk says 'Bootable: No'. Is that a problem? Is it a problem I can fix? So I upgraded my Mac Mini to a 1TB SSD, like so many people do. Because the Mini was basically dead when I did the upgrade (the fusion drive had been slowly failing for weeks), the only...

    How will updating to a newer version of OSX affect my Mac Mini?

    My Mac Mini is sluggish as hell and some apps (games) will not start up unless I run them right after a full power off/power on restart. It takes forever to startup, and for all the desktop icons to appear. It is a Late 2014 2.6GHz Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM, Intel Iris 1536 MB. It is running El...

    Mac mini works only for few minutes

    HI all, a couple of weeks ago a friend of mine gave me an old macmini1.1 that, according to him, was not working at all. When I tried to start it I had mixed results: sometimes it started, sometimes it freezes on a white screen but all the times it didn't last for more than two or three minutes...

    Hardware Smardware

    I have been using a Mac in some form or another for years. And they have always had a model that I could get excited about when I was looking to upgrade. But I am hugely disappointed by the total lack of a 'reasonable' option in the current market. First, almost all of the current categories...

    Fired up a 10 year old Mac Mini and was surprised

    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...

    Mac Mini 2012 SSD reformat & OS install for Logic Pro X

    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...

    2011 mini server I7 or a 2012 mini i5?

    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...

    Poll: What do you expect for the Mac mini in 2018?

    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...

    Would this work?

    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...

    I left the church of Zapping PRAM but have returned

    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...
