mac mini

Hey everyone! I need your advice. 2 days ago I replaced my Mac Mini's (Late 2014) HDD with Samsung 850 Pro 250GB SSD. First day was fine but today I noticed that it was terribly hot on the surface. During almost 3 years of usage it's never been this hot. I just followed a guide on youtube...

Hi guys. I've been lurking for a while and it seemed like a lot of people on this forum were capable of giving some solid advice on purchasing. I know this is my first post, but if anyone is willing to play ball and offer up their advice I would greatly appreciate it. I'm looking to upgrade...

Having a 2012 Mac mini and already having an external Thunderbolt harddrive, I'm looking at the possibility of using an eGPU via the Thunderbolt 2/3 adapter in a daisy-chain setup, however I've found very little info on this. Has anyone tried using the Thunderbolt adapter at the end of their...

Hi there. This is my first post on the MacRumors forums. So the problem is I got this Mac Mini from eBay a couple of days ago which I took the risk of upgrading the CPU from a 1.83 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo processor to a 2.0 GHZ T7200 Intel Core 2 Duo processor. I followed the online guides...

Hi all, haven't visited MacRumors in a while, and I just saw the thread "So, No Mini" headline and screamed. Okay, it was a very disappointed muffled shriek. I still feel queasy. As it happens, I've recently been looking at the Apple Store website, B&H, etc. at Mac Minis for my parents. I had...

Working with a small group to develop a app on Mac OS, right now we are thinking of testing applications on Mac Minis? Yay or Nay? is there a better alternative readily available for testing? We are looking to do this fairly professionally (startup fingers crossed), do professional app...

Hi. After the intro of the new iMac Pro, the "promise" of a new modular high end Mac Pro for 2018, and the disregard for the mac mini, I was wondering: would you buy the base configuration of the 2013 MP for, say, 999-1299 and the top configuration for 1299-1499 now (as they are offered...

Hi I have a late 2014 Mac mini: 2.6Ghz i5 dual core 16gb ram I want a 27" monitor, what would you recommend? I'm not up to date on monitors. It's not used for gaming, just photos and the odd bit of video editing 4k would be ideal Thanks

Hello! This is my first post and it actually involves me getting into Apple products in the first place. Best Buy currently has the most recent Mac Mini with i5 2.6GHz, 8GB memory, and a 1TB hard drive for $599.99. At the same time, I can potentially get a Late 2012 Mac Mini from someone for...

I recently new purchased a new Mac mini , now I want to sync iTunes movies from Windows machine to Mac mini. I don't want to re-download the movies again(it is to many , I think it would take a lot of time). Is there a chance to copy the movie into a specific folder from Mac to Windows in a way...

Hello all, For the past several years, I have had fantastic luck with my setup: using my aging Mac Mini as an iTunes server, allowing the TVs in my home to access music and video files stored locally. This all worked wonderfully until the Mini finally gave up the ghost after 10 years of...

Does anyone have any helpful advice on getting files off of my old, mostly dead, Mac Mini to a new Imac? The 2007 Mac Mini gets as far as chiming, showing the apple logo, and showing a status bar of trying to read the hard drive, but ends up just stalling and never getting to the desktop screen...

My samsung 2494 HM has been running on a macbook for 7 years and doing just fine. I recently bought a mac mini and now sometimes the monitor colors are mostly purple. I can get it to clear up by restarting the computer, but is there any other fix? When I restart the computer usually tells me...

Hey Everyone, We're having an issue with our new Mac Mini, 64TB G-Tech drive, and 32TB OWC drive. I'll describe it below. Note that the same issue is occurring with both drives, which seems to eliminate either individual drive as the issue. We have a Mac Mini on our network, as shared...

Recently, I bought a 1 GB standard DDR ram stick for my old Mac mini G4, looking to re-purpose it. Everything seemed to be going fine when I began to install it, until I restarted the mac to find that only half of it (512 MB) is working. I found this very strange, considering the previous RAM...

Apple admitted today the direction of the cylindrical Mac Pro released in December 2013 turned out to be a major thermal mistake. The company admits, it just does not meet the needs for an important segment of professional customers; especially for those in cinematography and emerging...
