mac mini

With Gurman and others expecting new Macs as early as this month, a lot of attention has been focused towards the updated M2 Pro and M2 Max chips. These will undeniably be the showstoppers of any possible event (or press releases), but I have a suspicion that if the Mac Mini is getting an...

Hi there, I recently got 2 x Dell U32Q19 and decided to hook them up to my Mac Mini M1 using USB-C to USB-C and HDMI to HDMI. At first it looked quite alright, however I noticed that the one connected with HDM seemed a bit more flurry. I figured that the input color format of the monitor was...

Hi all, have a bit of random request, is anyone able to tell which model Mac this board/chip is for please? Many thanks!

Weird situation posted as an FYI as much as anything else. I have a M1 Mac Mini (base) connected to an Apple Studio Display. Both have been trouble-free. I got home from work at 6am today and turned on my MM/ASD to check email. Used it for about an hour, no issues. Put it to sleep (via ...

I just ran a Speedometer test (https://browserbench.org/Speedometer2.0/) on my M1 Mac mini 16/512 vs my Macbook Pro M1 pro 14" 16/512, both freshly rebooted with no other apps running than Safari, and the mini (score 355) constantly beats the M1 pro (score 345). Wtf? Isn't the M1 pro supposed to...

Hi all, I think my 2012 mini is on its last legs, (currently won't get past the boot screen), and I’m wondering how I'm going to transition from its 4tb ssd internal boot drive to the options available now from Apple. I use the mini as a photos backup point (amongst other things), with iCloud...

Hi, So I have to use a work laptop for my job. It’s a Surface laptop 3. I’m also buying a new Mac Mini soon (when/if they upgrade it). So I want to use both machines with the Studio Display. The surface only has USB-C output, but that’s fine.. I think. Honestly, if it only runs in 1440p mode...

So, I don't remember exactly when it happened, but for the past few months, I have had a problem getting my ATV to connect to my Mac Mini to play movies and other videos. Sometimes, infrequently, I can get it to see the content, and then sometimes it will actually play the content, and...

um cliente trouxe um Mac Mini (acredito que seja de 2016-2017), e precisa que ele seja resetado, porém, o mesmo não sabe a senha..... Como reseta-lo? Já tentei o comando+R" porém "Command+R não funcionou. Seja por que estou usando um teclado do Windows.

I am thinkin I am about to pull the trigger on one of the 2018 minis (Mainly because of the color if I am being honest) I want to replace my apple tv in my bedroom and have it as a netflix machine/media server with an external hard drive of all my owned movies. Is the i3 with 16gb ram and...

Has anyone experienced the problem with Lightroom Classic whereby there is exposure flickering visible on the screen when moving the mouse between the Develop Module and the image that you are working on. It is starting to grate with me and I am seriously thinking of selling it and getting the...

I just got a new Mac Mini M1 and am using OS 12.4. The merge folders option isn't working, though. When I hold the option key on my (Apple) keyboard and drag the folder with the same name to a disk, it does not offer the option to merge, only "Stop" or "Replace". The folder I'm dragging has a...

First, I am new to this forum and to Macs. I began with an Apple II and then a II+ back in the 1970s but work related issues and programming forced me into the Windows world for the last 20 to 30 years. I am now retired and considering a return to Apple products. I am a photographer...

Hey I'm deciding between M1 iMac, Mac mini or MacBook Air. I have an external 27“ 1440p 144hz monitor that I’m planning to use with the Mac mini/Air if the decision falls to one of those. In YouTube Videos, people talk about external screen wake up issues, issues with flickering on external...

In my office we have been running a 2012 Mac mini for years as our file server for all our studio files, to which 4 Macs connect via SMB. It's been running Mac OS Sierra for the last few years since Apple removed the server software from newer versions of Mac OS, and the file sharing on the...

I have a 16 inch 2021 MBP. Also have an M1 Mac Mini (worth $360 resale), and a 12.9" 2021 iPad Pro (worth $670 resale). The Mac Mini & iPad were my daily drivers, until I got the 16 inch MBP this April. Now I don't use the iPad anymore. Mac Mini is hooked up to 49" Samsung Odyssey G9. I use...

Hi, I am thinking to replace my mid-2010 27" iMac (i7 with 32GB memory and 1TB SSD). The machine is mainly for photo editing using Photoshop and Nikon Capture NX-D (a software for processing raw files by Nikon cameras). And I also use the machine for web browsing, word and excel processing...

Can you use an old iMac as a monitor for a newer Mac Mini? A client was throwing away an old 27" iMac. He gave it to me instead. I believe it's a mid 2011 model. His repair guy said the logic board is shot & it's trash but it looks brand new physically. The power light comes on, the screen...

I’m looking to buy a Mac that I can use to backup my phone, nothing further beside browsing the internet and backing up my phone. I’ve been using my 2019 MacBook Pro but these backups have taken up plenty of space that I’ve since purged. I’ve been looking at either Mac Pros or Mac Minis, maybe...
