• How many USB devices you can Garland to the latest Mac Mini?

  I need to connect several USB devices to my recent Mac Mini but it seems that if they are plugged directly into one of the 3 ports on the back, will not work.  Any ideas on that?

  Make sure you get 3 USB hubs say that will work with a Mac.

• Retrocopatibility between the latest Mac OS and the old Mac Mini

  Hello

  I m trying to buy a Mac Mini used for my son but I want a machine that can use the latest Mac OS today and at least the next operating system.

  I know that older machines cannot use the operating system more recent (I had this problem with a MacBookPro). Where can I get information on this to avoid buying too much a machine old and limited in this respect?

  Thank you very much for your help.

  Best.

  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

  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.

  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

• Trackpads only 2 fingers scrolling on the Mac Mini

  I have two Magic trackpad (wireless), a couple of years; No will 2 fingers scrolling on my Mac Mini (try them for the first time on the Mini). both work fine on my other machines.  All machines are updated to the latest version of El Capitan, a lot of RAM.  Same settings trackpad on all machines.  The movement of the cursor trackpad, highlighting, click Select OK on the Mini, but no two fingers scrolling, without pinching to resize.  Have not checked all the possibilities, but lack of scrolling is a deal breaker.  Track pad update 1 is too old, have not found another.  Tried with mouse wireless on and outside.  A run first aid.  Reinstalled the system software.  Even enabled the scrolling options, the settings of the mouse.  Help!

  If two of your machines running El Capitan and touchpads are version 1 of Trackpad, it is probably the reason.   While versions more old mouse and trackpad will work to some extent, all the features with El Capitan requires the version of Magic Trackpad 2.   The MT2 has developed especially for El Capitan and later operating systems.   I know that it's a nuisance, but the new trackpad is levied directly on your machine and needs no battery.

• 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

• 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!

• Mac Mini for logic pro?

  I think I have the new mac mini with turbo boost processor i7 - I already have Logic Pro X on a mac mini 2010 (captain of el os) 2.4 Ghz ram 8.  I'm really struggling to get my mac mini to start upward with the el captain.  My question is: if I buy a new mac mini is I meet similar problems, use it with Logic Pro x installed?

  I have no problem.

• iMessage on iPhone, iPad and Mac Mini issues

  So, here's a nice.

  Mac Mini, iPad Mini, iPhone5. All are on the latest versions of the OS. Connected to the identical services iCloud and iTunes on all three devices. The iPhone 5 is delivered to US, the others are the European Union (NL) issued.

  When I send an iMessage on the phone, the message sent is not the Mac Mini or Mini iPad. sent iMessages to iPad or Mac appear on both devices, but not on the phone.

  Incoming messages only appear on the phone, not on the other two aircraft.

  People receiving my messages of either the Mac Mini - combo of the iPad and the iPhone5, have two separate conversations in their messages, but an entry from me in their list of contacts.

  In iCloud online, all devices can be considered to be connected with the same account. All have been disconnected from iCloud, password has been changed and reconnected. All devices were restarted. All to nothing does not.

  Other services such as calendar function without any problem at all, an appointment has been made on what devices instantly extends to the two other devices. New contacts are shared between all the devices too. If the problem is limited to the iMessage.

  In short, I suspect there is a difference between EU and devices of the American unit, preventing them to be treated equally. Does anyone else have this problem or something similar?

  Hello mackert,.

  Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. I know that Messages does not properly or sync with your devices is not what you expect. Based on what you said, it seems that you encounter some problems of synchronization with connected devices to your Apple for message ID. Good news is I had this problem myself and I solved this problem by following these steps:

  1. Firstly, you disconnect from your Apple ID for iMessage on all your devices. On your iOS devices, go to settings > Messages > Send and receive and sign for your Apple ID. Then go to settings > Messages and turn off of iMessage.

  2. on your Mac Mini, open messages, then go to the Messages menu > Preferences > accounts. Click your iMessage account in the left sidebar, and then click Sign Out and then sign out again.

  3. restart your devices as closing down and starting process is important to keep the software works correctly:

  Restart your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

  How to turn on or off your Mac

  4. now sign in iMessage on your iPhone first. Go to settings > Messages, turn on iMessage and connect you to your Apple ID in settings > Messages > Send and receive. Make sure that you are successfully connected, iMessage is activated, and you see your phone number and e-mail available for both "you are reachable by iMessage to ' and"Start new conversations." That's because iMessage uses your iPhone SMS to activate iMessage on your Apple ID.

  If you get an error when you try to activate FaceTime or iMessage

  5. Once your iPhone has configuration iMessage, then sign into your other accounts and check the synchronization of Messages. You can also turn on "Text Message Forwarding" under settings > Messages on your iPhone to better ensure that all devices have the same messages.

  Use Messages with your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

• May my end 2011 MBP running 10.11.5 El Capitan using Back to My Mac to see my 2006 Mac Mini running Snow Leopard 10.6.8?

  I want to be able to access my Mac Mini to the road, but it supports the latest OS is 10.6.8 which was at the time of MobileMe. How can I use back to my mac to access the mini?

  Thank you!

  I suspect that Snow Leopard 10.6 doesn't have access to iCloud, so set up Back-to-My-Mac might be a problem.

  You can use (free for personal use) TeamViewer.com screen sharing and transfer between your 2 file systems.

  <http://teamviewer.com>

  Try the current version on both systems, but if you have you can also get an older version for Snow Leopard system

  <https://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/previous-versions/>

  It is otherwise more complicated for remote connections, to open ports in your personal router, setting up secure ssh tunnels, etc., but it is really something for people who love to get down and dirty with pieces of computer

• Do I need a Mac Mini with high-specs to efficiently program an Iphone app?

  Hello world!

  I currently have a PC and am on a budget.

  What I want to do however, is program/create an iphone app and came to the conclusion that the hanging of a mac mini to my pc is the most cost-effective way to do.

  However, I'm not sure what level of specification is necessary for programming the OS. I've never programmed before, so have a very limited knowledge.

  Could I get smooth with a more/less expensive model on 2 GB of ram? Or I will require probably one with superior specs?

  The app is a bit complex.

  Thanks a lot if you take the time to answer

  Sincerely,

  Tommy

  I use a Mac mini (end 2012) with the latest version of El Capitan and feel no bottlenecks.

  My advice would be to buy as much built-in RAM as you can afford (16 GB + if possible), rather than worry about the speed of the processor.

• help understand my next mac mini... from 2004 model!

  I really admire the mac mini, I bought in 2004 and it works oddly, except for the internet.

  I would like to 'upgrade' or buy one with a more recent CPU/microprocessor. What should I buy? I've heard via internet models end 2012.

  I find it useful to have a disk drive so I can burn CDs, although I suppose that there is a way to connect the old mac mini to the new and so use the old one as a storage unit with a usable CD player.

  The software I have on the old one is perfectly fine, so I would be able to run such things if I can.

  Pointers would be really useful. Particularly on what stage model, what should I look for, or what you think, this is the kind of considerations, I need to assess. (I mean, mega - storage is not a big concern of mine: I does not store the art/film/music to any large degree.). I think it would be interesting to use Bluetooth for listening to music via Bluetooth speakers (which are good quality inexpensive Bluetooth speakers?)

  Just Mac Mini have you? One was introduced in 2005. The 2005 those equipped with a Power PC processor and can go as high as OSX 10.5.8.

  The 2006 and later have Intel processors.

  First applications have been written for Power PC processors and will be running on an Intel processor only if Rosetta is used. Snow Leopard was the latest OSX to incorporate Rosetta. A Mac cannot run an OSX version earlier that OSX initially provided with the Mac as a previous version do not have drivers for the hardware.

  The mid level Mac Mini is a good Mac and comes with 68 GB of memory. I wouldn't buy a Mac with less than 8 GB of memory.

  To share with the other Mac, you can use the sharing of files and sharing of CD disc. Those who work on a network.

  You can also start your old Min I in target disk Mode and connect the two via FireWire (for a Mini more recent yo need a bolt of lightning > FW adopter and a FW800 > FW400 adopting as the old Mini FW 400)
