5Ghz wi-fi stopped working
I've had this 2018 Mac mini in the same location for over three years and never had any wi-fi issues, until yesterday when 5GHz started failing. After a lot of testing I found it was working fine with all other devices around the house, except this mini. As a further test I've just pulled an old...- ashleykaryl

Airpods 2nd Gen on Mac Mini 2018 Ventura 13.5.1 won't connect, works w/ 3 other Apple devices
Hi. I come to you having exhausted every option I can think of to try. The behavior I see is as follows: I can (re)pair the AirPods successfully with the Mac Mini 2018. After, I click their name from the Bluetooth menu. I get the spinner. It spins. It finally stops. The AirPods do not become...- mcjason885

Advice: 2018 Mini for $325 or save-up for M1?
I have the opportunity to buy a 2018 3.0 Ghz/16GB/512GB Mini for $325 (Apple sells the same 2018 Mini for $1099 as a refurb, so $325 seems like a good deal). I have an M1 Air that I love, but I was hoping to get a Mini for video encoding/school/R programming. My current Mini is a 2012... -
Best Thunderbolt 3 (or USB-C) hub
Bought my Mac mini a year ago, I have a USB-C expander (extra USB 3.1 ports, HDMI and Ethernet) plugged into it. I would like to get a hub with at least two display ports (HDMI, VGA or DP), plus an SD card reader as well. Any suggestions? Aside from CalDigit’s amazing Thunderbolt 3 dock. -

How do you live with a small amount of SSD?
Hi all. Since the new minis make us suffer through the T2 chip, I wanted to know how people are getting by on small amounts of SSD. I have a 3rd gen Mac Pro and can't afford the jump to the new beast. I don't want to pay the Apple tax for going to a 2Tb internal SSD on the device. Ideally, I... -

What if the Mini wasn't so tiny, but the size of a loaf of bread?
I have a 2012 QC mini, which works just fine for me. I am looking at the 2018 Minis and wonder what is so good about them being miniature. It's like the Mini is a solution in search of a problem. It's not as if my desk is so limited in size that I can't fit a slightly larger Mini on it. I don't...- elasticmedia

Migration checklist for moving to new 2018 mini?
As I noted on another thread in this forum, I got my new i5 mini with 16MB RAM and 512MB SSD yesterday and hope to set it up Sunday, along with migrating my files, apps, and settings, etc. from my mid-2010 mini. I've got a few questions, as I want to do this in the right order, and Apple's... -

Mac mini peripheral storage advice
Hello, I'm planning on getting new Mac mini 2018 next year (Feb/March). It will replace my current Mac Pro mid 2010 which has served me well for the last 5 years. I'm donating Mac Pro to a friend who is in a bigger need for it then me and I need an alternative. My current work is all Photoshop...
