last possible system on Mac Mini 1.93 GHz Intel Core 2 GB memory
last possible system on Mac Mini 1.93 GHz Intel Core 2 GB memory?
My system works very well except for Safari and Firefox, which NOW have updated versions. What is the solution? I use Snow Leopard and latest Firefox since it's 48.0.2 and Safari's 5.1.10 that I can no longer use to access certain web pages
The official list of Mac compatible with macOS Sierra:
What are the requirements for Sierra.
Towards the end of 2009 or later
- MacBook
- iMac
2010 or later
- MacBook Air
- MacBook Pro
- Mini Mac
- Mac Pro
If you do not meet the above, but respect what follows, then you can upgrade to El Capitan.
Upgrade to El Capitan
You can pass the Lion El Capitan or directly from Snow Leopard. El Capitan can be downloaded for FREE from the Mac App Store.
To upgrade to El Capitan, you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or installed Lion. Download El Capitan from the App Store. Sign in with your Apple ID. El Capitan is free. The file is big enough, more than 5 GB, allow it some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
Mac that can be upgraded to OS X El Capitan
1 iMac (mid-2007 or newer) - model identifier 7.1 or later
2 MacBook (late 2008 or early 2009 or newer aluminium) - model identifier 5.1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)- model identifier 3.1 or later version
4 MacBook Air (late 2008 or newer)- model identifier 2.1 or later
5 mac mini (early 2009 or newer)- model identifier 3.1 or later version
6 mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)- model identifier 3.1 or later version
7 Xserve (early 2009) - model identifier 3.1 or later version
To find the identifier of the model open system information in the Utilities folder. It is displayed in the Panel on the right.
Are my applications?
See table of application - RoaringApps compatibility
Upgrade to Lion
If your computer does not meet requirements to install the above, it can still meet the specifications to install Lion.
You can buy Lion to the Apple store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus taxes. It's a download. You will receive an email with a redemption code that you then use on the Mac App Store for download Lion. Save a copy of this installer to your download folder because Setup deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion system requirements
1 mac with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2 GB of memory
3 OS X 10.6.6 or later (10.6.8) recommended
4. 7 GB of available space
5. certain features require an Apple ID; conditions apply.

Hello!
It's time for me to invest in a new laptop / desktop, especially that I picked up photography as a hobby. I've always been a Windows user, but after purchasing my iPhone and iPad, I plan to join the Mac camp. Right now I'm undecided, get a Windows laptop (with all of the easy extensibility comes with it), or the Mac Mini (2.6 GHz, 8 GB, Iris Graphics) and be stuck with its 8 GB of RAM? Portability isn't a factor for me, and I can't afford a higher spec Mac (especially since I'll receive a Fujifilm X - T1 soon!). This configuration of Mac Mini will serve me well for at least 5 years, using Photoshop/Lightroom?
See you soon!

You can order it with 16 GB of RAM.
The extent of the Photoshop and Lightroom, the current Minis will be just adequate.
You will not get the performance you out of a machine with discrete graphics.
Although it is better than previous iterations of the integrated graphics card Intel.

Is it possible to install CS5 or CS5.5 on a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM MacBook Pro 10.6 (Snow Leopard) running?
Before posting my question, I checked the requirements of system/hardware for Creative Suite, as well on Internet Apple and Adobe sites. But however I'm confused about the difference between 'Processor Intel multicore' vs 'Core 2 Duo' and hearing stories CS5 works not properly in similar situations because of hardware problems.
Hi LMDV,
Welcome to the community!
Intel multi-core processor, also known as the Dual core processor is required to run the CS5 or CS5.5, you have the Core 2 Duo which is better then Dual core and enough to run CS5 and CS5.5 applications. You just need to check the other requirements of system that is mentioned here:

My I Mac computer is older than 6 years and became slower and slower. I added the memory once in the past which has contributed to the speed. He was clocked at 2.66 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo for a processor and memory is 4 GB 800 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM. I wonder if I it is better to buy more memory or if the computer needs to be replaced, it still works very well for email and working on small documents, but it is really slow and crashes when working with images and large files. Any advice is welcome.
I have a similar computer. It will accept 6 GB of memory. It is far from slow and Etrecheck reports he cited as excellent. I think you have some unnecessary baggage in tow. Why not download and do a report for us Etrecheck. Publish it as an answer, here, and maybe we'll find the reasons...

Hello
I use the trial version of VMware Fusion 8 Pro on an iMac.
Mentioned the title CPU has 4 cores and 4 wires.
VCPUs how I could create for my VM runs in Fusion 8 Pro.
Kind regards
Roland
Hello
Really just try and see how far you get as processors behave differently.
With virtual hardware 11, you are limited to 16 vCPUs in your guest OS.
I'm not sure what the limit is for vHW12 (Fusion 8), but I do not have to start a little lower and intensify If you need more.
Your guests will share CPU resources between them, this isn't like 4 nested dual CPU VMs need 8 vCPUs in your virtual ESXi.

But the Mac Mini can't find software to install, even if the disk is in the drive.
Need your help to tackle this problem.

Opening 1 does not work on El Capitan. You need minimum Aperture 3 and which is no longer sold. Time for a new plan.

Mac Mini heating disinformation
Yesterday (June 11, 2016) I talked about Apple Support via their phone an overheating problem, I lived with my Mac Min 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3. I have described the symptoms and asked if Apple had problems of heating with the Mac Mini. Their 'expert', said that they had not. It helped me to run a program of self-diagnostics of material that showed no problems. (Off, press and hold the "D" key and then turn on the Mac Mini, while pressing the down D until the diagnostic routine displays.) No problems have been found and my machine has not overheated since. But I learned by following a search that there had been several previous Mac Mini heating problems and Apple was aware that a lot of their products and have experienced similar problems in the past.
Some users have problems and do not see a lot of these problems here. It what Apple said is true; There is no real history of such problems.
How are judge you overheating?
If you have installed a speed temp and fan, monitor applications that this exhibition?
I use Mac Fan Control.

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!

Since going to El Capitan, my Mac Mini makes me want to cry
Operating system: OS x El Capitan 10.11.3 (15 d 21)
Hardware: Mac mini (end of 2012), 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Intel HD 4000 1536 MB graphics card
Experience: the worst!
Since El Capitan installation my Mac has become a nightmare. EACH click generates a spinning beachball. Adobe products are DRAGGING. I mean, come on-do-a-"sandwich" - slow to load. Connection to the Internet - WAIT.
And now, since installing the 10.11.3 patch, my mouse Logitech M570 clever is bug (even after installing the latest drivers!).
My daily work has slowed to a crawl, and I'm afraid to do on the computer every day. Back to Yosemite is out because there is no Time Machine backup.
Thank you, Apple!
It is not for lack of Apple.
Try these in order to test your system after each see if it is back to normal:
1. a. reset the PRAM and NVRAM on your Mac.
b. Macs with Intel processors: reset of the controller (SMC) system management
2. restart the computer in Safe Mode, and then restart again, normally. If this does not help, then:
HD recovery start: restart the computer and after the buzzer, press on and press and hold the
COMMAND and R keys until it appears the Utilities menu screen.
3 fix the hard disk and permissions: select startup drive in the Utilities menu utility. Fix the hard drive and the permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears, select disk utility and press the continue button. After loading disk utility select it
back from Macintosh HD entry of the list on the left. Click first aid button in the toolbar. Wait for the operation
ends, then quit disk utility and back to the main menu.
4 reinstall OS X: restart from HD recovery Select reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, then click on the continue button.
Note : You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest to use Ethernet if possible because it's three times faster than wireless.
