Hi everybody I’m on a tight budget for a computer for recording music, light video editing and a little if any web surfing/YouTube on it. I already have a monitor/keyboard setup to a couple node computers that are dedicated to that. So I thought a Mac mini is a no brainer since I don’t need...
THE GOAL: A seamless 100% Apple multi-media setup built on/around Apples software and hardware (if possible).
CURRENTLY: - 75" LG Smart TV and an Apple TV. We have about 40,000+ pictures, 500 home videos and 20,000+ songs between me and my wife - right now we play them through the Apple TV...
I just bought a Logitech C922 webcam to use with my Mac Mini (M1, 2020). It seemed to work OK at first, but now the frame freezes every few minutes when I am doing calls through Microsoft Teams, and I have to click to turn the video off and on again for it to start working again (only to then...
I want to buy a cheap but decent quality display, for graphic design use, in order to use with my macmini. Is there a site with comparisons/specs of displays up to 27” I can check?
Hi Guys , I have been using Apple TV 4K for all the video and audio playback from my Plex server . Recently I have been collecting some Hi RES music and I became aware that the ATV only does 48 kHz Audio . So I used one of my Mac mini to listen to the Hi Res music , the Mac mini was handling...
Hi all,
I have a 2018(2020?) Intel Mac Mini i5 with 32gb ram. It does everything I need, and hardly ever hangs. If it does it’s usually the app itself that hangs.
It’s been a fine setup since I’ve been working from home since I purchased it. However, with things calming down in my country...
Hi there. First post, so go gentle.
The current equipment:
Currently, I have a Plex Server (PMS) set up on an old 2012 Macbook Pro (2.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor). I recently upgraded its memory to 16 GB. Its only job right now is acting as a Plex server. We bought it used for $250...

I run simulations for professional purposes and in the process developed a farm of Mini's. First from some older test systems I had and have now nearly built a complete set of all Mini's ever produced.
I decided a while ago to also restore all OSX/MacOS versions on systems that were...
I currently have two curved monitors - one dedicated to my PC and one to my Mac Mini. Both have their own peripherals. I also have my work MacBook that I want to get up on a big screen with mouse and keyboard (but want to use those from the other set ups...)
I have been looking at philips...
Hi all!
My mac mini g4, happily whirring Debian for 10 years or more, started to be very noisy lately.
Fan runs at high speed for a lot of the time.
Do you have any mod / tutorial to clean / repast e /suggestion?
Thanks!
Hello,
I want to live stream a video podcast and need a great computer that can handle the data load and is semi-portable.
The device that takes in all the cameras and audio inputs (3 cams + 3 mics) is an Blackmagic ATEM Mini Pro ISO or ATEM Mini Extreme ISO (depending on what I rent).
The...
I just got a new Mini M1 and found that it doesn't want to mount my Seagate HDD. I have in fact managed to get it to mount by changing it to read only. So it mounts now but that isn't much use to me lol.
When I try to change the permissions for admin to read & write it tells me I don't have...
Can I use my Windows laptop screen as a secondary (or primary) monitor for my Mac Mini M1?
It is a HP Zbook X2 and has 2x Thunderbolt 3 Ports, 1x HDMI port, 1x USB 3 port. I am pretty sure it is possible with a Samsung Tab S7.
Our 2018 MAC MINI SG/3.0GHZ 6C/8GB/512GB can be very slow when using the Cintiq 22 inch with Photoshop and animation programs such as ToonBoom Animate etc. A friend suggests we buy an exterior graphics card, plugging it in to one of its Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports.
Is this a good idea and can...
I bought a second-hand Mac Mini (5,2) for Plex.
CPU Proximity temperature often raises above 70°-80° (when copying files).
Should I be worried / consider returning the Mac Mini?
Or is it in the normal threshold (meaning I can probably use it for a couple of years to come).
Just got an M1 Mac mini for work.
Experiencing some odd issues with it, with displays not waking from sleep, and an external SSD that randomly stops being recognized by the system. (Just updated to the latest Big Sur version.)
Disk issues: I have two SanDisk SATA SSDs in a Sabrent 4-disk USB...
Can a 2009 Apple Cinema Display Model A1081 be connected to a new Mac Mini (or even an older one)? I have the display and am looking into getting the Mini. I assume (or hope) there as an adapter, but just don’t know. Let me know if more info on the Display is needed.
thanks, JG
Hi y'all
I am going to purchase a New Mac Mini, use my smart TV as a screen and basically have this as an entertainment centre and a makeshift desktop if I need to do video editing etc.
I want to get a mini handheld keypad to use when i'm sat on my sofa to control it. I've seen some on...
