    Merge folders not working in Monterey

    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...

    Mac Mini for Photographers?

    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...

    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...

    Can I use a 2011 27" iMac as a monitor for my newer Mac Mini

    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...

    Purchase Suggestions?

    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...

    Anyone using M1Mac Mini w/ ASD, any performance issues?

    Hello everyone, I have seen this YouTube video where they say that the M1 Mac Mini really slows down while driving the 5K Apple studio display (ASD). Is it true that the 16GB M1 Mac Mini feels sluggish when paired w/ ASD? Do any of you have this setup using ASD w/ M1 Mac Mini, and how's the...

    So, Who is going to make the first mount for Mac Mini/Studio for Studio Display to make it look like an iMac?

    Actually I was expecting to see such a mount already but seems like nobody came up with a product yet. Even from 3D geeks. Would you use that kind of mount to hang your Mac Mini/Studio at the back of the Studio Display? Mac Studio might be harder to do due its uneven weight distribution and...

    [Mac mini Late 2014] Ram upgrade

    Hello, to my knowledge there is unfortunately no schematic available anywhere for the Mac mini Late 2014 (Macmini7,1). This is sad because no schematics means it is difficult to repair and even upgrade the ram on those models. And those models are cheap, consume very low power and are very...

    Hey all, Apologizes if this was already asked (I didn’t find it), but is it possible to run audio into a 2020 M1 Mac mini? Online search returned mixed results. Some sources were saying it had to be done via USB, but that seemed like if you needed both output and input. Some said that the...
