How to cool a fanless mini mac?

Hi people,

I recently had a problem with my 2007 model Mac Mini where I have to replace my fan because he is no more. I have not enough money even to buy a new fan, so I find a way to cool without the rotation of the fan. Is there a possible way to cool without the rotation of the fan?

Do not run heavy programs, stick to basic programs (and light) as Safari, iTunes, Pages, or Word. Try to avoid the games and video rendering.

Be careful because you could damage your Mac Mini to work on it without fan works.

I highly recommend to get a new fan as soon as POSSIBLE.

    Hello

    You must have the latest version of iTunes (12.5.1.21). If no updates appear in the Mac App Store, it means probably that it's only available for future versions of Mac OS X, or as it is now called macOS.

  • Mini Mac - exchange of hard disks

    I have two mini Mac - the two 2012.

    Mac mini #1 is i7 2.6 GHz Quad Core - my first desktop computer

    Mac mini #2 is i3 2.3 GHz Dual Core - used as HTPC / Media Server

    #1 has (2) 1 TB disks, which I use a lot less than half (I also have external drives)

    #2 a (1) 512 MB internal drive, which is almost complete

    I plan to (1) move the 1 TB drives from #1 to #2 and move all data (mainly from the iTunes music ALAC and some iMovie video), that would solve the question of space. While they are open I consider also adding an SSD as the diskette of starting to #1, this would improve the startup time, run certain programs a little faster and a 256 MB or 512 MB disk would be inexpensive, that I would win a little more than space for data too. (to be honest, the Mac mini is jealous of the SSD in my MacBook)

    I've increased the RAM to #2, replace a switch of volume on a 3 g iPhone and replaced a screen on an iPad 2, so I'm not afraid of detail work - but only the RAM was easy. I also watched the videos on the replacement of a HD for this model on iFixIt. What is not clear is how much more difficult it is to make the first record as the second. If I move just a reader I wouldn't have to dig in the 1st Bay.

    So, my questions:

    (1) how can I say on the report system which drive is in the Bay, by whom I have which is on top, which is at the bottom? Or can I assume that the startup disk is always on top? (harder to do)

    (2) is the player in the upper Bay of much more difficult to replace?

    (3) I would also examine suggestions for a reliable SSD, but this isn't the substance of my question.

    Thanks for your help...

    Here's a video OWC on how to add a second drive to a Mac mini (same steps for 2011) 2012. I bought their data Doubler kit (and the extra ribbon cable) so that I would have the tools to get the job done right. Seen their detailed video while performing the surgery. I bought a 128 GB OCZ Vertex SSD (now a division of Toshiba and new product name VT180 series) for main and kept startup disk the Apple 512 GB of disk in place. The OCZ Vertex is fast and reliable for fall 2011.

  • How to remove a book from Mac or iPhone?

    How to remove a book from Mac or iPhone?

    Are what version of iBooks you on Mac?

    I read a bunch of discussions on trying to delete apps and books from iTunes (where books used to be), and the responses dealing with the last iTunes and iBooks basically say the same thing: can't delete anything. At least, you can't delete the old sense of deleting the file completely. Now when you 'delete' something, you're really just hide the view.

    I just tried to remove a book from the last iBooks (in El Capitan on my iMac) and the fine print in the dialog box has said very clearly that I take away the book of view, but it would still be redownloadable of the cloud. (I hope that cloud of it's Apple, not mine.) I want to manage what is in my cloud, and I don't want that it is cluttered with things that I "deleted".)

    In theory, I don't see Apple. You can just save space on a device, but be able to find the book later. But this isn't the case with me. When I delete something, I want to TAKE forever. Case in point, the book that I just deleted was one in iOS 8.3. Why I ever would want to get that now that I am using iOS 9?

    Apple seriously needs to rethink its approach to this issue. Maybe needing a second choice to confirm if you're trying to hide something or remove the cloud, or really, really want you permanently gone. But Apple is not choice. Never ever going to be I guess.

    If you have another Thunderbolt cable, plug it into the unused port on the

    Thunderbolt Display and then in the Mini and see if the same thing happens.

    What you can see is a precursor of the poster, built out of the cable.

    At least, it could eliminate a costly repair problem.  Although the cable itself is not

    expensive, opening to the top of the screen of TB to replace could be.

    Well that not connected on a Mini, I began to see in similar behavior my

    iMac, so that there was finally a break in the complete cable.
