  I have a mac mini 2010, put in extra RAM. During the ages erase and reinstall Captain el OS because the spinning wheel of dreaded.  Whenever I try to start it, it takes forever and the spinning wheel occurs.  I have to keep doing a STROLLER and it is a bit of the night Mare. I wonder whether to buy a new battery which someone suggested is causing problems, or to send in for repair to apple or simply decide its time to throw it out and buy a new mac mini.  I invested in Logic Pro X and even pass on the mac mini and get it going is causing a lot of headaches. He got 8 GB, and it's a processor intel core duo 2.4 gigHertz 2.  Difficulty or time to buy a new one? And worth the trip of a few hours to the apple the nearest store or send it to apple to see what they can do.  One has had a similar experience? Thank you

• Mac Mini pink Flash at startup

  MAc Mini 2012 i7 16 GB 1 TB (bought in may 2013)

  MY trusty old Mac Mini seems to have a problem.

  When I start up from the Mac Mini, I see a pink Flash on the screen (NO PINK LINES THAT FLASH, this rose arrives on a section of the screen) for just a second then nothing, just a blank screen.

  I tried starting it upwards and pressing the SHIFT key, nothing's happened - just a blank scree. Then I tried the Alt key at startup - again all that I see is a white screen.

  Does anyone have an idea what's happenin? He was still 3 weeks left applecare.

  Try another monitor and cable to keep out them.

• End of 2012 Mac mini won't go beyond screen bar startup after update 10.11.4

  Hey all,.

  I'm puzzled.  I have a Late 2012 Mac mini, upgrade 10.11.4 yesterday, after the computer restarts, it was stuck around 60% on the progress of startup screen.  I let it go for 12 hours, nothing.  The screen fell asleep, and when I woke up it I had a mouse cursor which would pass but nothing to use it with.  When you try to start in safe mode, I get a little further, about 95% and then she stalls.  When booting into single user mode, it stops at "pci break: SDXC.  I fixed the disk with DiskWarrior on the repair disk, no help.  Any help would be greatly appreciated, getting very frustrated and I would like to solve it, instead of doing a restore.

  I forgot to add, that when starting in Diag mode, I wonder for a wifi network reach, I do then it's right there.  Do not enter an IP address.

  Thank you!

  -Anders

  The Diag mode gives me an error-2002D.  Looks like I have some errors going on here :/

• Mac mini (late 2012) flashing - question mark folder recovery does not work

  Hi all

  earlier today, I upgraded my Mac mini (end 2012) to the latest version of macOS Sierra.

  After 1 hour of use, I realized that many of my plugins FCPX were not working.

  I contacted the developers, and they said does not update the plugins and they told me to go back to El Capitan.

  I decided to listen to them and try to downgrade my OS.

  I restarted the Mac and held down Cmd - R or something like that that took me to the disk utility screen.

  Then I went down to dinner, and when I returned 30 minutes later my Mac had entered the sleep mode for some reason any.

  I woke up the Mac and 40 seconds later the power went out for 5-10 minutes.

  After the blackout, I restarted my Mac that took me to a black screen with a flashing question mark folder.

  I followed some tutorials online (including how to enter get - and the recovery of internet mode), but after a while even restoration of the internet shows me the flashing question mark folder.

  I don't know what to do.

  And no - unfortunately I don't have a Time Machine backup.

  But I have a backup with all my most important files.

  Is it possible to force the Mac to reset itself or something like that?

  Help, please.

  Best regards

  Filip

  and go to disk utility and repair the startup disk?

  If repairable, the startup disk to format and install OSX via recovery. you install Mountain Lion or dependent Mavericks when the Mac was made. Then OSX you want.

• 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!

• 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.

  (Aware there are other posts like this but saw someone do an admonition to add their isses at the same post accusing them of 'thread-jacking')

  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 - Finder does not open

  I have a Mac Mini with os x 10.10 2014.  The boot disk was almost full and the finder does not open.  I open the iPhoto and deleted the pictures and then empty the trash in iPhoto.  By logging in as a different user, I see I have ~ 1 GB of space, but when I log on my main account and admin the finder does not always open.

  I read that it was a known issue:

  http://forums.MacRumors.com/threads/Finder-doesn.

  It is said to remove the .plist files, but I can't get to Terminal to do.

  Please advise, thank you!

  Edmund

  If you were able to connect as another user, the issue is not lack of storage - this is the same computer.

  Yes, your .plist file may be corrupt, or you could have an extension conflict that affects only your user account.

  Try the start mode by holding down the SHIFT key at startup. Secure boot is quite slow because the operating system does a lot of cleanup and verification tasks, so give it time. Once you're completely connected, restart normally.

• Double monitors Mac Mini issues

  Recently I performed a clean installation of 10.11.6 on my Mac Mini end of 2012, and now all of a sudden when I restart in normal mode with two monitors Hung (one bolt of lightning, the other HDMI) he logo apple, loads, then everything goes black. If it is plugged in, it loads the main office very well. If I load in safe mode, I can start with two monitors very well. Also, if I boot boot with a plugged in, wait for loading, then plug the second, it works fine.

  Before the installation of the OS, these two monitors worked fine without having to do that, running the same hardware and OS. Super boring... I'd appreciate any help or advice! Thank you in advance.

• Format and install Snow Leopard on Mac Mini

  Hello

  • I have a Mac Mini
  • Using boot camp, I have a Win10 partition which is now, the entire hard drive.  Really.
  • I have the installation of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.3) DVD
  • I directly connect the optical drive and a wired keyboard to the system
  • Start by pressing the [CTRL] key.
  • Download the white screen with the Apple logo in the middle of it.
  • .. then nothing.  He's here.  After 10 minutes, I pull the plug and restart the Windows partition and return to the slaughter of these discussion forums for clues.

  Issues related to the:

  1. How do I FORMAT and INSTALL Snow Leopard on the Mac Mini or m, I was too impatient after the [Ctrl] restart using the OS X DVD? 
  2. Is there an external utility that I should get to format the drive?
  3. I can do this in steps - can I install OS X on an external HD and then use it for the crater / rebuild the primary drive?

  Input greatly appreciated!

  usually it is booting by pressing the C key to start from the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive.

  or start by pressing the Option key to get a list of the bootable devices that you can choose from.

  See <Startup for Mac - Apple Support combinations>

  NOTE: This does not imply that you run your Mac mini Snow Leopard.  I guess that your wording she used to run Snow Leopard, and that your Mac mini still has a DVD/CD player are good signs.

• Mac mini will not start in safe mode

  Restarts, while now the SHIFT key at startup in safe mode, nothing happens, then I get a screen with lines of code, "panic (cpu 0 0xffffff800ebd255a appellant)", "" panic debugger called: < > "." In addition many other code, then it goes into a loop where he tries constantly to restart with the same results.

  I had problem with this for awhile, but have always been able to boot in safe mode and then restart and my system has always started.

  loss and out of business now.

  -Can you post a screenshot of readable of the kernel panic that appears on the screen? Who will provide the necessary information to help you.

• Reinstall of OSX on Mac Mini end ' 09

  Hello

  My problem is, I have a Mac Mini end ' 09 (2, 53ghy, 4 GB ram) and I installed an SSD with OSX Lion mountain. Because I forgot my credentials, I can not connect anymore. I wanted to install or reset any OSX mac.

  I tried some things, but none of this worked for me:

  -Mountain lion is no longer available

  -Leopard snow DVD or USB install does not work (no sign)

  -El Capitan on the app store can not be used as a startup disk

  -Recovery Disk Wizard Apple work to start the installation of the el capitan, but say that it takes 105 hours of work that seems unreal

  Did someone had an idea of what else I could try?

  Thank you

  Michael

  -If El Capitan is intact, but you forgot PS admin and there does not use file Vault encryption then reset admin PW:

  -If you have another Mac, you can do an installer USB bootable from the download section of the Mac App store purchases using the following.

  Then boot from that USB medial and install El Capitan.

  -If you want to install earlier than El Capitan, you must first format/erase the startup disk

  -What do you mean by "Disk Recovery Wizard.

  -Blackmail the ban when you boot the DVD SL? IS this a DVD retail? Or is he entered with another Mac model?
