Fusion on Mac Mini - the new 2014 bicoeur or image refurb 2012?

After waiting more than two years for Apple to upgrade the Mac Mini, specifically to improve my performance of Fusion, Apple disappointed so I have to ask for advice...

What Mac Mini will perform the best with the merger? I would have preferred a new unit but Fusion on an i5 2.53 bicoeur Macbook Pro (max 8 GB) is very slow.

Assuming that the maximum (16 GB) memory, I have a new choice and refurb.

Model of 2014 (new)

2,8 GHz dual core Intel i5

J2012 model (refurb)

2.6 GHz quad core Intel i7

Background: Domestic use for the most part, only virtual machine running one of the (Win XP, Vista, 7, 8, or Linux). Occasional local development. Need for the long term.

Yes, it's pretty disappointing, that they do not offer a Mac mini with a Quad-core Intel Core i7 CPU.

Anyway, while I've been running virtual machines since almost 15 years and in the early days, some systems of bare bones gradually however they run them even if at times slowly.  That said even if, today, I would never buy a system without getting as much as I could, and that means that I would not buy any what with less 16 GB of RAM and a Quad - core Intel Core i7 CPU for use with virtualization even if this can be done on the material of the lessor.  Now, I'm talking to my primary system, that I'd be using every day.

    Good morning Apple community, so here's the problem: I had a voltage breakdown because via the USB port of an EPSON LX - 300 printer, at present when the USB and the Mac Mini contact, ventilation Mac shutoff valve and after a few tries to do turn it finally do. But I see that a gray folder appears with an exclamation mark, then, with my other mac I download OS X El Capitan and do a Booteable USB, after that I enter the utilities disk and found that the "Macintosh HD" was not there and 2 USB 3.0 also didn't work. I picked up at a technical Service allow in my city and have told me that the HARD drive is broken and must be replaced, they say it could be replace by an of a 7200 rpm or 5400 RPM HARD drive RPM HARD drive, also says that couldn't put an SSD. I start research and found it is possible to put an SSD without problem. So my question is that's for sure, so I trust that an SSD will work with flawessly, and that I will also get a big performance improvement.

    My Mac is:

    Mac Mini end of 2014 1.4 Ghz 4 GB of RAM, Intel HD 5000 and a 500 GB drive HARD 5400 RPM death.

    So, my best regards to the community and hope for a response.

    I've been running my 2014 MM off an external SSD with USB 3.0 since the beginning of this year, after a bunch of trial and error; That's what I have:

    Unfortunately, I don't have much advice to give you else make sure you have a proper forum for IT. From my experience, the bad speaker will make the difference in whether or not the Mac recognizes the SSD on initialize toward the top.

    Good luck!

  • AirDrop does not work between Mac mini end of 2014 and 6 s iPhone more

    Hello!

    I'm here for the first time. A little more last year, I bought a Mac mini end of 2014 with Core i5 clocked at 2.6 GHz, 8 GB RAM and 5400 RPM HARD drive. I replaced the HDD for an SSD, Samsung EVO 850 250 GB, to be correct. I also have an iPhone 6 Plus and does not AirDrop between my devices. They discover each other. Update both OS X and iOS on a regular basis, so that's not the problem. Check on this issue and finding a solution a have met this Airdrop is not my Mac mini 2012 and I have a few questions:

    I checked that TRIM Enabler Coulon, but later on my Mac I searched this Samsung EVO can't GARNISH. What it means? Download and install TRIM Enabler would be unnecessary, because the problem isn't here? Everything is fine with the Bluetooth, WiFi, my 6s more connects to the other MacBook Pro Retina early 2015, as the new MacBook 12 "iPads and iPhones, too. Please help me, thank you in advance.

    10.10.4 and later Apple does not allow that you caraa select TRIM and third part SSD. See:

    http://osxdaily.com/2015/10/29/use-trimforce-trim-SSD-Mac-OS-x/

    Can yo test to see if AirDrop works among other devices?

    like the iPhone with another device iOS or Mac or Mac with another Mac or iOS device?

  • Mac Mini end of 2014 vs SSD Ram

    Hey guys, I just bought the Mac Mini end of 2014. Maybe I should blame myself for not doing some research that I have a model end of 2012 before that. I used to increase the ram myself whenever I need it, it was easy-peasy. So I bought the 2014 version, thinking that it will be the same. But no, the ram is welded on and there is no way that I can upgrade. The mac was bought to an APR, his return is not possible according to the policy of the store.

    I understand that if the RAM is not enough, the operating system will use hard disk space instead. So what I intend is to upgrade the HDD to the SSD, I have made the my previous Mac Mini. Just so that it allows to speed up the process and minimize the crash.

    Question, this will help solve the problem of ram? Nor can do anything and that's it?

    Yes a SSD will improve performance, and partially make up for not enough RAM. However, how well that depends on what applications run you. Some applications are memory intensive and may not show as much improvement

  • 200% + CPU Dual Core i7 3.0 GHz 16 GB Mac Mini end of 2014

    Hello

    I just bought Lightroom & Photoshop CC to complete my new Mac Mini. I thought that the specification above would be more than enough for Lightroom flowing normally - given my dual core 2012 MBP 2.5 GHz 16 GB ran Lightroom CC without any problem. However, I'm having a time torrid so far. Everything is extremely slow. Even when simply activate the lines of the grid, I'll have to wait 3-4 seconds for a response. Brushing is a nightmare as well.

    I tried to disable the GPU option, but it has improved things slightly. Perform light tasks is still up 200% of my CPU.

    Anyone know what I can do about it?

    During brushing, you have turned on automatic mask?  Automatic mask is very convenient when you brush next to an edge, but it won't slow the brushing process considerably.  Turn each time that it is not necessary for editing you do.

  • Steps to upgrade to 4 Fusion and moving to the new computer

    Hey there. I could use some help with few steps so that I have if sure and get everything set up on my new computer, because I get conflicting information from friends of Apple.

    Currently I am running Fusion 3.1.1 on a late 2009 MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard. I have a virtual machine running a single stand-alone version of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit and a bunch of programs installed in Windows. I installed Fusion and Windows at the same time of the disks.

    I now move to a brand new MacBook Pro with Lion already installed. And I bought 4 Fusion on disk.

    My question is, which perform the steps I should follow to get Fusion 4/Windows 7 on my new MacBook Pro? I have to reinstall Windows on the new machine? Or can I somehow copied it to the Virtual Machine and have all come up with it?

    I'm a bit technical, but the new to all this stuff with.

    What I have read, I understand that I have to install Fusion and then copy the virtual machine over the old computer. Is this copy the complete Windows installation without that there is a problem with the registration number?

    Any help I can get will be more appreciated.

    Thank you! Linda

    From what I've read, I understand that I need to install Fusion and then copy the virtual machine over from the old computer. Does this copy the full Windows install without there being a problem with the registration number?
    

    Yes, it's exactly what you need to do. The exception is if you had installed Windows on a Boot Camp partition, you will not be able to copy on the virtual machine (since the data are on a separate partition and not in an easily copied file). For more security, keep your old configuration until you're sure the new works.

    Windows can decide whether he wants to reactivate, according to many variables that he considers. It is impossible to say whether it will be or not until you try. However, even if it does, it should be unique and should not be too much of a hassle.
