10.11.6 bricks just my mac mini - what to do?

All my applications are reported missing or inaccessible. Icons are missing in the dock and apps can be open to all. In addition, I can't run Carbon Copy Cloner because my old mini will not start on a USB 3.0 device.

What a fantastic "update." I thought that it would be just a minor update and now my computer is entirely bricked.

I googled this and found absolutely no solution.

WTH?

Boot from the recovery drive and select reinstall OS x.

  • Mac mini processor

    I am currently using an iMac 2009 with processor clocked at 3.06 GHz. I do not play or the movie streaming.  Just internet, e-mail and documents.  I'll be unhappy with the 1.4 GHz Mac mini.

    Yes. the low level is OK for your uses. However, I would like to get not less than 8 GB or memory since you cannot later pass as RAM is soldered in. That adds $100.

    You should consider the Mini of intermediate level, it comes with 8 GB RAM, 1 TB HD 500 GB, and a better graphics processor for only $200 more than the basic low-Ivy Mini

  • move a hard drive from MBP 2012 in a mac mini 2009

    Hello

    I bought a 500 GB ssd and I am cloning my macbookpro HD 500 gb on it at the moment.

    I plan to use my macbookpro HD to replace my 120 GB mac mini HD.

    I wonder if it could be possible to put the macbookpro HD in the mini without deleting its content, which would allow me to win time install OSX and the transfer of data from my macbookpro? Would it cause problems?

    I upgraded from the mac mini 8 GB RAM.

    Thanks for your advice.

    The Mini can run 10.11.x, the only thing I'm not sure of is if the supplied Apple MBP 6/Gbs Player supports the Mimi 3/Gbs speed... most do, but...

  • Mid 2011 Mac Mini running slow/a lot of balloons of beach/HDD to research and writing

    I have a Mid 2011 Mac Mini, which runs slower than a snail's pace.  I frequently get beach balls as I type this message.  Startup time is very long, and the hard drive is often written / search/access for several minutes at random throughout the day.

    This seemed to start after I have updated to El Capitan 10.11.6.  I decided a few weeks to reinstall OS X without doing a thorough cleaning.  It did not help the situation, so I then proceeded to install the latest beta of Mac OS 10.12 to see if that helped.  Nope.  I don't think I have a bad hard drive, either.

    I have just run an EtreCheck and copied below.  Any ideas?  I don't want to run my computer at the Apple store.  Thank you!

  • I need to transfer my OS to iMac with firewire for Mac mini with love at first sight. Don't know what to do.

    Hello I have a 2010 iMac Core i3 3.2 GHz, 8 GB of memory, and El Capitan mid with a firewire 800 port that goes wrong. I just bought a Mac mini refurbished end of 2014 Apple, Core i5, clocked at 2.6 GHz with 8 GB of memory with thunderbolt 2 ports (but unspecified OS, I guess Yosemite 10.10 if Apple put the original on the renovated units OS) I want to use migration assistant to transfer all of the iMac with firewire for the Mac mini with the crush.  Can I use thunderbolt Apple firewire adapter for it? If this is not the case, what can I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

    Yes, you can.

  • Mail of the Mac Mini, iMac with the migration wizard

    I have a mac mini (2014 - El Capitan) that I have used for some time now and I have many mailboxes (30 +) with many stored messages (100s maybe 1000s).

    I recently picked up a 2011 27 iMac which is running OS X Sierra Final Release Candidate due to vision problems.

    Both units are working well but I would like to transfer my boxes to the letters, messages, and the account settings from the Mac Mini to the iMac using Migration Assistant to take advantage of the larger screen.

    Am I able to select only the data for e-mail (boxes letters, messages and settings) to transfer somewhere in the Migration Wizard interface or will it just to start the transfer of all?

    I use iCloud for note, calendars and contacts, but prefer not to use for e-mail.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    WN

    The simplest option would be to use Time Machine to restore your data.

    Other Options:

    You can export the folders you want to transfer the mini using export of Mail under mailbox function in the Menu bar > export a mailbox... Drag to the folder on the desktop on the new iMac and import in Mail. File > import boxes mailbox...

    You can also use a third-party application, Emailchemy to export your Mail on the mini and pull only the folders you want and import. If you have many files, it would be a faster option.

    http://www.weirdkid.com/products/emailchemy/

    Otherwise, you could drag on the whole Mail > V3 folder let Sierra update data. This assumes that you have already started using Mail to Sierra.

    You don't have to use iCloud email to use Apple Mail. I strongly suggest that you use IMAP to service what ever you choose to use.  Comcast, Yahoo, Gmail, AOL, Hotmail (other)

  • Really slow Mac Mini on the first commissioning

    I bought my Mac Mini because the old PC had an age to start up. Now, my Mac Mini is even worse. I also have an old portable (2010) I installed Windows 10 on, and it is much faster than my Mac! W10 is up and running on browser/email before Mac even gets to the user login page!

    Advice on other posts, I ran EtreCheck and updated a printer with the HP software problem. Got sorted and it really helped. But its just as bad party, ran EtreCheck again, the results below, but while the Mac was still loading up, it's done intentionally to see if I can find what it keeps. There is nothing obvious in this, can we see something that miss me it please.

    I suggest you remove the Avast software according to the instructions of developers. You need anti-virus software on your Mac and often through other reports Avast here seems regarded as a cause of potential problems.

    If you do remove it, restart the Mac and the test. If it makes any difference once Avast is removed, you can always reinstall it if you feel that you need (even if you haven't).

  • Mac Mini replacement

    Hello, my Mac mini 6 years now, I would like to prepare for the day when I need a new, it would be simpler to use a time machine to transfer photos etc. of a Mac mini to another, or just transfer directly from my Mac mini present on a new when I ended up buying it? Thank you.

    Time machine or migration assistant would work, both are integrated into OS X and compatible between the different iterations of Mac OS X if there is nothing else that your data is backed up or you can simply migrate from the old mac mini to the new when you get it. If all the data on this computer you can migrate above in its entirety.

  • Plug a new mac mini in 2009 imac 24?

    My iMac 24 "early 2009 is really starting to show it's age. Currently he is on OSX 10.11.6 which is the last one at this time.  Hardware upgrade only that I did it is to the top of the Ram of 4 GB to 8 GB.  He got a new HD due to a failure in his last month of AppleCare Plus (November 2012).  However, it's getting really slow but I have 4 external HD plugged into it and an external USB hub, as I am constantly plug additional devices attached. There is nothing wrong with the screen 24 ".

    In the last week or two, I went back to my mac, while he was in "sleep" mode and not able to reactivate.  After the first time this happened, I copied all the files, I was interested in one of my external HD in the event of a total failure.  I had a second time where I couldn't turn it back on and both times I clicked on the wired mouse, hit several keys on the keyboard and even tried pressing the power button.  Nothing has worked.  A few minutes later he came to life.  I'm confused as to what is happening.  Don't think that it is the internal HD only when the original was dying, he deploys all those rattling noises.

    So finally, my question: would I be able to replace this iMac with a mac mini using my screen 24 "beautiful?  Or better yet, run them both?  Might as well work simultaneously connected together somehow?  (I'm guessing the last question).  I'm just collecting information on the upgrade of my system before I die to a stranger may be soon time.  The difference in price of buying a mac mini compared to a new iMac 21 "or 27" is also a lot.

    Hoping I can get some good info to help me make those decisions.  Thanks in advance!

    Your iMac model is too old to support the target Display Mode. See the article Apple on it.

    You can replace your iMac with a Mac mini, but you will need a separate standalone screen. You cannot use the 24 "iMac as a display of your Mac mini.

  • How to control a Mac mini with HDMI ports fries and lightning? (The rest is ok)

    Recently, a lightning strike fried video output (HDMI and lightning) ports on my Mac Mini end of 2012. As far as I know, the rest of the machine works fine. It's just blind. I can't have everyone working on this, but I don't want to throw a perfectly (well, almost perfectly) computer works.

    If I can get a control over the Mac Mini for a few days, I could set up as a dedicated time Machine or maybe even an iTunes or media Server. How can I achieve this?

    Configure the screen sharing on the Mac.

    To do this, you must have another recent Mac.

    You can start the problem Mac in target disk mode, connect the two Mac by FireWire or Thunderbolt, boot the Mac problem with button down T, boot the first Mac since the Mac HD problem and sharing Setup screen

    Alternatively, you can take the drive out of the Mac problem and start another Mac that and configure sharing screen.

    You can also get a USB video card and put in place by the target disk mode or by removing the similar disk for screen sharing

  • make a call on a Mac Mini with an iPhone.

    I have a Mac Mini connected to an HDTV via HDMI.  I have the sound value of output for HDTV.  Everything works until I make or receive a call from my iPhone to my Mac Mini.  Even with the release of his affecting HDTV sound when the call is coming through the internal speakers of the Mac Mini.  Why is this?  If I hooked computer external speaker would that help, or all the sounds go to the speakers and not the TV speakers.  I would like the phone call to go through HDMI on TV and hear phone call from TV, like all the rest.  I went into settings and set the audio output on the HDTV that is connect via HDMI, but just the noise from phone call will the internal speaker on the Mac Mini.  Any thoughts?

    In FaceTime > video what output is selected?
