• I can't get my Mac Mini from Yosemite 10.5.5

  I have a Mac Mini running 10.5.5 2011 end quite happy.  I bought a 2 trackpad, but El Capitan need to get full use, so I downloaded 10.11.4 successfully.  But when I try to install I get the message: the attention of this update requires OS X version 10.11.  I could not find 10.11.0, but I downloaded 10.11.2 and had the same alert.  Then I tried to download Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and got: the attention of this update requires OS X version 10.6.  I can't believe that it is necessary to download every single update to get the latest version.  Clearly there is something wrong with my Mini (works perfectly), but I have not a clue about where to look or what to do.  Can someone help me?

  It is not possible for a 2011 mini Mac running 10.5.5 outside an emulator. If your computer is compatible with El Capitan, you need to buy a Snow Leopard DVD, update 10.6.8 and then get El Capitan from the Mac App Store.

• I bought a mac mini from second hand for my mother, but I forgot to put in the keychain...

  Anyone could help me,

  I am new to Apple of relativity.

  I had bought a second hand, 2011 Apple Mac mini for my mom and I forgot to put in a keychain for the Mac mini, it's a bad thing for me to do?

  I use Mac OS X Lion, and I think it has OS X Lion Recovery on it.

  The computer held to ask the Keychain password.  She was confused because I did not originally put in, and now I'm more confused.

  I wanted to just give him a computer that was easy for her to use, so that she can stay in contact with his grandchildren and group of friends...

  I didn't know what to do, no one to ask, so I made in my 'new' Apple Mac mini in the shop so that it can be fixed.

  Here are the specs of the computer of Apple Mac mini that I bought for her:

  Any help would be greatly appreciated,

  The Keychain password is normally the password of the user, unless someone has changed the password. The keychain is installed as part of the operating system.  You can see the article below which covers what Apple recommends for the sale of a computer. If there are parts of what was not done, maybe that's the problem.

  I have a Mac Mini to the Canada last year, and I wonder if I can use it in Europe. I did a search online and was unable to find information updated on this.  If I need to buy a new power cord, where can I get one?

• My Mac mini smaller base model is really slow

  It's so boring and when my Mac is really bad, it freezes and won't pass the mouse and this Mac is not old, it was purchased, form the Apple Store last Christmas. It's terrible and this Mac costs £399.00 and may not seem much to some people but it defently is for me and the Mac does not yet properly. So I want to know if it's a hardware problem software problem and because I am under my warranty, I don't want to know if I should go to the Apple store. Sorry if I seem authoritative and stupid, but it's so boring!

• Taken helmet Mac Mini internal hum but works fine

  My Mac Mini made headphones humming internal but works very well. The hum is not constant. When I boot it is quiet so if I play a sound in ANY format or any program that there is a strong buzz that starts and the kind of "" did ramp up the tone. If I stop then the sound of the source of the hum lasts almost exactly: 30secs and then all stops. Again, it is only through the headphone jack, the Interior is fine and works as usual.

  I had plugged in a new audio line just before it happened... I wonder about a failure/problem of grounding. I have also used an IO just before Scarlett and the audio output. It is no longer connected.

  I have "waved it a little" cleaned, tried headphones and speakers, disconnect the power source and replaced by another source and of course turned on again with and without the connected headphones.

  It is a Mac Mini from 2012.

  Thanks for any help.

  Could be a ground loop in your power connections. Try unplugging all unnecessary devices in power and to change the socket where the Mac is connected

• Cloning of a Mac mini with application Server

  We bought a condo in Florida and I want to my server it doubles. I use Mac mini (2 different models) with 2 drives external (one for Time Machine backups) and one for data.

  What is the best way to install the Apple Server on Florida related to the Mac mini so I don't have to install it from scratch?

  Yesterday I tried (in vain) to use the Migration Wizard to move all of my Mac mini to the Florida-bound one. Can I use 3rd party app "Carbon Copy Cloner" instead?

  Any recommendations on how to configure the 2nd server would be appreciated.

  The replication server is a relatively trivial process and can be accomplished by using disk utility.  However, the source drive and the destination drive should not be active at the time of cloning.  For example, you have Master Mini and you want to be replicated on Mini replica.  The best way to do it with the included tools must start Master Mini from another disk that contains an operating system to start.  Then start the Mini replica in target disk mode and connect it to the Mini Master (already started from another drive).  Disk utility to clone the Master disk on the drive of replica.

  Ah, but cloning is the easy part.  The question I have for you is that you really want an exact replica?  The reason why I ask, is that your current server should have a name and a fully qualified domain name.  It's server.pauljohnson.com and it has a 10.0.0.10 IP address.  If you clone the device to another Mac, there will also be a name of server.pauljohnson.com and it has a 10.0.0.10 IP.  If two of your networks are configured on the 10.0.0.0/24 subnet then you won't be able to connect to each other.  Similarly, if you depend on external access to devices and must comply with DNS, then you can only point to one of the servers, unless you have a form of installation program to distribute the load between the two locations of load balancing.

  What services run you on the servers other than the Server Time Machine?  Do you intend to have a VPN tunnel between the two institutions?  If you use Open Directory, and DNS, you can configure master and replicas of the two services.  Of course, this should only be done with a tunnel VPN in place I would not recommend exposing these services to the internet.

  Then await you replicate data also?

  Start with a list of services and a list of expectations about how you want client machines work when moving from one place to another.

• U2412M and Mac mini 2012

  After much research, I bought this monitor of second hand with power cable that for a Mac mini from 2012, which has only a hdmi cable adapter dvi. I looked on this topic on many forums and cable mini display port seems the most recommended. I realize that Dell does not test its products with Apple devices, but any advice on the best way to attach your monitor for my Mac mini would be useful.

  The Mac Mini 2012 has the following video ports =
  HDMI
  Crush (their version of Mini-DisplayPort)

  The U2412M has the following ports video =.
  DP (DisplayPort)
  DVI
  VGA

  Possible configurations.
  Mac Mini Thunderbolt on--> mDP to DP--> DP U2412M cable in
  Mac Mini HDMI out--> HDMI DVI--> U2412M DVI Cable (you have it. What happened when you tried?)

  Ask users on the Apple discussion Forum on the Apple Thunderbolt (CDM) getting to DP cable.

• Mini Mac waking from sleep. A SOLUTION.

  I had the same problem that everyone has:

  Mini Mac won't sleep, requiring a shutdown and restart.

  I found the cause of my problem. This solution has been tested.

  Your system may differ from mine, but my solution can give you some ideas to try.

  My system: Mac mini (mid-2011), running Lion.

  On March 19, the eve of the day when the problem started, I sent a print job on my printer.

  The next morning (20 March) the problem started and happened again on 21 March.

  Exact symptoms seen: screen switch mode; However energy saving, the computer never goes sleep (front panel LED rest of suite, throughout the night, did not have his usual pattern of sleep slow breathing).

  In particular, the "system.log" file shows the usual "alarm maintenance" wake up every 2 hours. The newspapers just go quiet.

  Impression triggered the problem:

  My printer is a recent model Brother laser printer.

  Since March 19, I had been using Control-P to print documents;

  However, at no time I turn on the printer; my intention was to accumulate my impressions for several days,

  After that, I planned to turn on the printer and do my print and send all at once, for efficiency.

  It helped me: this solved my problem:

  March 21, I was wondering if something in the print queue prevented from sleeping.

  Experimentally, I opened app leader brother printing and deleted the print job in the queue,

  and BINGO, I instantly found the opportunity to sleep and wake my Mac mini.

  Other tests have shown that the problem is reproducible at will. :^)

  On 22 March, I tested the mini to ensure he sleeps and wakes.

  Then I sent a print job to the print queue, leaving the printer off and tried to sleep the computer.

  The problem comes back immediately: the display fell asleep but the computer does not.

  Then I connected ssh via LAN and issued:

  % lpq

  for the number of working the print job, then

  lprm % [jobnumber]

  to clear the print queue of the printer.

  This delete the print job, and the computer went to sleep immediately.

  Moral: They say devices can prevent sleep.

  Well, it shows that a device can prevent sleep without even be turned on!

  Tip: If you * must * stop your mini, first try to connect to the local network via ssh and issue the

  sudo shutdown - hour now

  for a stop more ordered by limiting the risk of data loss.

  PS. usually I can solve any problem of sleep if I ssh in from a different computer and question

  killall % ScreenSaverEngine

  but this does not work in this case.

  This object could be turned into a 'trick' - If you want to.

  Given that it is useful and not directed towards another user in a response.

  Thanks for sharing!

• Mac mini el capitan "sleep next failure experienced a problem.
