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...

Hello all, I've searched around for fixes and somewhat at a loss, however sorry if that has already been answered. I have a Mac Mini m1, 16 GB and been using a Yeolibo USB C Hub Adapter with it for about a month. All the ports worked fine until today. HDMI stopped working and now my second...

I turned on File Sharing on my Mac mini for a home server. When I add a shared folder and set the permission to a contact- then i login to that from the Files app on my phone it just shows a blank screen adn says 0 read only at the bottom. I have tried turning sharing off and on again and...

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...

Hello, I am trying to install Mac OS X Server 10.6 on my 2010 Mac mini but am having major issues with KPs booting my bootable USB I made with Disk Utility. (which works on other computers) I have also been having problems recently with the Mini Display Port and no video output from it. When I...

I've just had a really strange trade in problem using Apple web site. I've upgraded my 2018 i7 Mac mini to the M1 version. I thought I'd use the trade in service from the Apple web site as it was really easy with my old iPhone. I went through the process entering the model and serial number...

I am currently using a 2010 MacBook Pro 13" as a Media and File server. I am also running a few other custom Web APIs for my personal projects. It is also a CCTV Camera Server for the recording a bunch of cameras. I would like some advice on weather to buy a M1 Mac mini or the M1 Max Mac Studio...

Now that pricing of older minis has come down a little, I am thinking to get one for iTunes music server in my home. I have a big collections of lossless music that I will put onto a 1TB SSD inside the mini. I will use the second drive for this, and have the OS on the first, also on a small...

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...

I have a 2013 Mac Pro right now and I've been pretty happy with it for a long time except for the gpu situation. Now that there is an upgrade path for me I'm a bit lost on my next steps. I'm disappointed by the decisions Apple has made with the Mac Studio however it's the only way to go past...

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...

I followed step by step an iFixit guide on replacing the Mac's old ass drive. Everything seemed good, except when I turned it on, it wouldn't POST. I heard the fan spinning (and with further testing the old drive spinning), but after 5 seconds it would power off. It would then power on again...

I'm currently using a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009) with an external monitor. A few years ago I upgraded its memory to 8GB, and replaced the DVD drive with a 128GB SSD. I spend most of time using this computer to remote to company's work machine, and locally do some web browsing. No...

Days ago i asked for 8gb or 16gb RAM for mac mini M1. Gonna go for 16gb. But now i listened that is rumored a keynote in 8 march, and maybe a mac mini m2. Should i wait or not? The price of 16gb ram 256gb will be the same as now? Refurnished (mac mini 1) will be cheaper?

Hello everyone! I’m new to the community and I am trying to remedy my issue. I just purchased a Mac Mini mid 2010 for $15 that was expected to have a bad hdd but turned out it was the sata cable. I ordered a 1tb SSD Hynix gold and 16gb of ram. I updated my Mac from snow leopard that it came with...

Hello , Is iMac M1 24” good for music production ? i use only logic pro , if i have to choose between base and upgrade model does the GPU have an effect in music production , which model do you recommend or should i go with Mac mini ? Thanks a lot.

The M1 Architecture is a GOD send to broadcasters or video professionals who don’t want to or can’t invest in a hugely complicated display or edit system. The ram being on the same silicon as the processor has led to fast performance. However - I’ve noticed some strange driver issues...

All known component upgrades for Early Intel Macs, 2006–2012 (and select 2013s) WikiPost created: 25 January 2022 Last updated: 19 June 2023 OVERVIEW Some time back, I started a WikiPost for ExpressCard/34 expansion items one can, feasibly, use in their early Intel Macs equipped with an...

With 2022 around the corner and rumors of a new Mac mini on the horizon, what features would be most important to you, if you have a current or older version and would be looking to upgrade?

Recently I read that ram is shared between the CPU and GPU on M1 processors. Does this mean that some of my ram will be allocated to driving an external display? Wouldn’t the GPU have its own dedicated vram so that it wouldn’t cut into ram allotted to the cpu? 32GB of ram is what I currently...
