mac mini

So, I've been having a lot of issues with my external hard drives for a while now, and I was thinking of re-working how it all works and wanted to pick other people's brain on how good of a setup it'll be for my needs. I currently have 4 ext. hard drives: 4TB USB 3: Music and Video Libraries...

Hello! I'm running Mojave and wasn't planning on any new OS upgrades to not brick my Mini, but apps I need are not working and support seems to have been pulled for Mojave. What OS systems could I install on Mac Mini (Late 2014), processor 1.4 GHz Intel Core i5, Memory 4 GB 1600 MHZ DDR3...

Guys I’m looking for advice concerning buying a new monitor for the Mac mini M2 pro. My current monitor is an 8 year old Samsung 34” UW (3440 x 1440) monitor. It works well enough but I can only connect it to the Mini via HDMI (50Hz refresh). If I try to use DisplayPort (DP) it has issues...

While I was working on making a hackintosh machine with my desktop I got my hands on an old mac mini from 2007. It was thrown out and I want to see what I can do with it. This one: https://everymac.com/systems/apple/mac_mini/specs/mac-mini-core-2-duo-1.83-specs.html I upgraded the 80GB HDD to...

Does anybody have an experience using a modern Mac with the latest version of macOS with one of the old 27-inch Thunderbolt displays? I've read comments on this forum about text not looking great on low-ppi displays. I'm in the market for a Mac Mini (casual photo editing, Keynote, and...

Comparing the same 512gb, which is faster ssd speed of m1 mac mini and m2 mac mini. m1 has 4 nand chips and m2 has 2, so is m2 slower?

I just received my second 24" monitor, a Dell refurbished 4K. THEN I ran into a problem. I've only got one HDMI port on M1 mini rear - and using an HDMI to USB-C cable for my second monitor I get nothing but a black screen and an error message. I get a floating 'No DP Cable - this display will...

I'm trying to get a 40 Gb/s connection to my iPad Pro from my Mac Mini, but all I can get is 10 Gb/s. I've got a 2020 M1 Mac Mini, see tech specs: Two Thunderbolt / USB 4 ports with support for: DisplayPort Thunderbolt 3 (up to 40 Gb/s) USB 4 (up to 40Gb/s) USB 3.1 Gen 2 (up to 10 Gb/s)...

Hello. Some told me that for 4k video editing, always better to have a larger internal stoarge. With my budget, I will be buying Mac mini with either M2/16GB/1tb or M2pro/16GB/512gb. Which will be better for my use? Thanks in advance.

The new Mac Mini M2 Pro with 32Gb/1TB costs more than $2200 now, more than the Mac Studio M1 Max with the same 32GB memory and 1TB storage. I guess Mac Studio M2 Max may start at $2999, $1000 more expensive.

I am seriously considering buying the new Mac Mini (2023) with the standard M2 chipset. However, as a student (using the discount), I can not afford to upgrade all the way. I am capable of affording only one upgrade which I would very much like. The following are the options: I can upgrade the...

So, do you think it will be possible for an M2 Pro Mac Mini to drive an 8k TV at its native resolution and use it as a display? Also, it it likely that Apple will produce an 8k monitor? 8k at 40 inches would be 220 ppi, that is, exactly the same same ppi as the iMac 5k (27”), 4k (21.5”), and...

Some sneaky marketing on Apple's part... This article points out that they're comparing the M2 Mac Mini to an older computer (2 generations back) and claiming it's 5x faster than this "bestselling PC." That's pretty devious. How does it compare to a current gen Intel CPU of a similar price...

My cursor just jumps around after mid-movement like every 10s. It isn't much, but say on a 13" screen, if I move fast, it can jump 5cm. I use a Mac Mini M1 and Logitech G Pro wireless & MagicMouse (they both have the same issue). I disabled the mouse sharing with my iPad, just in case that...

Hi, i work in an Apple Reseller and like many of you i'm waiting for the mini 2013 refresh. From monday the two major Apple suppliers in Italy are suddenly and completely out of stock of minis. I know that this happen from time to time, but the timing is no coincidence. Trust me, a new...

Hi everyone, I’ve been wanting to get a Mac Mini for a few months now. I DON’T NEED it (have an intel Macbook Pro), but would like a stationary set up while I keep my MacBook Pro elsewhere. Anyway, I’m wondering if anyone is planning on getting a Mac Mini soon, instead of waiting for the M2...

Hello. I recently had to get a new Mac mini for some work projects. My beloved 2009 Mac Pro 5,1 is still my workhorse for music production, which is also part of my work. The MP has about 10 drives connected (internal & external USB - mechanical & SSD - some of these are for backups) and is...

Hi everyone, I'm kind of in a special situation. I've got a late 2016 MacBook Pro 15" with the most expensive specs (back then) which is still serving me well. However, I've quit my (gamedev-)job recently to pursue creating games on my own. For this, I am going to live off of my savings for at...

Hello guys, i have 2009 iMac 21.5" (High Sierra 10.13.6). And i have intel mac mini. Windows is now installed on Mac mini. Can I connect Mac mini to iMac display? I bought a cable, do you think it will work? Cable Link They said it will work in this forum with the target display. I am waiting...

Hi all, very niche question. Sometimes apple releases software and driver updates for things such as WIFI, Bluetooth, and most recently trackpad precision for T2 chip models. My limited knowledge of the registry editor leads me to believe that these pop ups/updates/ install requests can be...
