Mac Mini 2012 reset to the Mavericks?
I would do a factory reset my Mac mini, but with the Mavericks. I'll keep the computer, I just want to make a radical spring cleaning. Is this possible? I want to mainly use the Mini now for music creation (MIDI and transcribe the partitions with Musescore).
If you updated to the Mavericks in the past, then go to the Mac App Store and download the installer of Mavericks. Do USB install using media
and then boot from the USB media and format/erase the startup disk and install the Mavericks
If the Mac can with the Mavericks, then try to start on the Internet and then recovery format/erase and install the Mavericks through the recovery of the Internet
You may be able to force your Mac to boot into Recovery Internet by pressing Command + Option + R at startup.

If the Mac came with the Mountain Lion and you have not already "bought" Mavericks then you can not install the Mavericks

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.

We have a Mac mini connected to a screen and a projector via HDMI using a HDMI splitter.
It works fine for most applications, but during presentations PowerPoint, presenter is displayed on the monitor and the projector.
When I disconnected the mini Mac's HDMI cable and put it in a MacBook, the presenter appeared on the MacBook screen (as it should) and only the slide appears on the screen and on the projection screen.
Of course if we have to use the MacBook for presentations instead of the Mac mini, you would need to have seen the presenter on both the screen and on the screen of the MacBook.
In the Mac mini display preferences there is no button to "Gather Windows" when the Mac mini is attached to the screen and the projector via HDMI splitter is a tab "setting."
But these two things appear on the MacBook when it is connected.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

I'm confused. When you use a video separator the same screen will appear on the two monitors connected to the separator. This is how works a separator

Do I need a PCI Ethernet card on my Mac mini to connect to the Ethernet connection?
I tried to set up my mac mini on my ethernet newly updated. Nothing seems to work. When I scanned the information system and click on the Ethernet cards, I received the message: this computer does not have any Ethernet PCI cards installed.
I checked and I had the latest version 3.28.2 noted Incompatible Kernel Extension Configuration Data, which has been a problem for other people.
Is there another way to do this work?
I'm in IOS 10.11.1 on a Mac mini (mid-2010)
Ethernet is built in and can not be an addition except as to adopt USB Ethernet.

6 ESXi on Mac mini 2012 Yosemite does not start
Hello
im a Mac mini running with ESXi 6 2012. I create a virtual machine to run Yosemite. On my Mac, VMware Fusion 7.1.1 it executed. When I download on my ESXi server, it fails to start and stay on point. When I use the verbose boot, he tell me missing bluetooth.
Can anyone help?
Greetings
Hi demiyo and welcome to the VMware communities!
There is a known issue with the 'Upload on server' function in Fusion 7 when used with virtual machines in Mac OS X, which causes the loss of one of the necessary configuration options for Mac OS X virtual machines run. The symptom is that the virtual machine appears to hang when starting, never getting to the login screen.
To work around the problem:
- Power off the virtual machine.
- Open a session shell ESXi (if it is not already selected, use the ESXi console Troubleshooting Options section to allow the ESXi Shell or SSH).
- Change directory to the virtual machine (/ vmfs/volumes/datastore1 /...).
- Edit the virtual machine configuration file to add the following line:
SMC. Present = 'TRUE '.
- Quit the editor and the power on the virtual machine. It should now boot successfully.
See you soon,.

A few days ago, I bought a mac mini and I transferred all my data and programs with time machine: all programs have been updated but iMovie (7.1.4)... However, it seems that, to update to the latest version, I have to pay to download on Appstore: is it possible? what I am doing wrong?
If it were a new mac mini, you need already installed 10.1 iMovie. Otherwise, but you already have iMovie 9 registered version to your Apple ID, you can upgrade to version 10 for free, but if (as it appears) is an earlier version then you have to buy version 10.

Use of very high ram of the Mac mini end of 2012 after startup
Hello my name is Ogi.Recently I have problem with my mac mini 2012.I end had a problem starting, so I used the startup, says apple. This problem has been resolved. But then another problem showed. Now, after I turn my mac mini on when I'll be on the desk I noticed that my mac is really slow. Then I open the activity monitor and watched. Wow 3.50 GB of ram used off 4. and I have not any startup programs. Now, so my mac is pretty useless. And btw, before when I started my mac I got 2.50 GB used and free 2.50, it is normal. Help, please!
Thanks in advance

Run and view the results here so that we know more about your configuration.
From Mavericks, OSX tries to use all of the memory. Memory is not actively used is used to cache of files that may be needed.

Upgrade hard drive Mac Mini end of 2012.
I7 clocked at 2.6 ghz 16 GB ram...
Fusion car again, noted that, once 128 GB ssd was that full, there was no real advantage to the merger. I decided (possible foolishly) to do an upgrade.
Installed 500 GB Samsung evo 850 ssd, wd 1 TB of storage. (no merge)
Set up own of El Capitan with bootable USB drive. Everything is good so far except noticed mini heater, exhaust fan works not!
take off cover, plug verified, it was well set, leading fan and he continued running.
Everything seemed so finished installation and got replacement as precautionary measure fan and equipped.
More than three weeks a couple of other strange events, two or three times at the start, progress bar would get to halfway, empty display outside and nothing more occur. Force shutdown, reboot and everything ok again.
The fan has stopped when the mini went to sleep once or twice, reboot has solved sometimes. Reset the PRAM again.
Over the past three days several times, fan stopped at startup, reset the SMC seems to fix the problem. All connectors are good. I have followed with Imenus and more recently THPro, when the fan stops it is reported to be clocked at 650 RPM!
I searched this problem, a person finds that remove the original drive on mac mini stopped fan altogether, substituting the original 'apple drive"and and the fan works fine! that makes no sense to me, but the Samsung in car that belonged the 128 GB ssd my original merger was coded firmware to it was "Apple."
The Evo 850 does not report temperature through the chip, I don't see that this would lead to good questions?
Don't know where I'm going with this, I could replace the original 'Apple readers' and see what is going on, at least I could forget a possible crude oil on a fire. Should I reinstall and do a fusion drive (can't see that it would make a difference)
I took everything public static precautions, taken my time replace the disks and it went smoothly without a hitch...
If anyone can suggest anything, I would be very grateful.
Sorry, this post is so long!

Mac Mini, end of 2012, down from video signal
2012 (end) Mac Mini, model A1347, i7 to 2.3 GHz
OCW mercury Electra 6 G 120 GB SSD
Factory 1 TB HD
16 GB of Ram
S232 Acer
OS: 10.11.5
Question:
Video signal is de-energized.
Hi all
I use this machine to run Logic Pro X. I tried a few monitors and different cables, but the result is the same.
the video signal sporadically goes out. The only way I can get it is back to turn off the Mini for a hour or stick it in the fridge for 5 minutes. It doesn't seem to be dependent on the temperature, since it happens a lot less in the months more cold however showed the journal to monitor temperature as low as 73 C time and he fell again the thermal signal can therefore not the question.
The fan seems to work and I tried to change the memory to return with noticed no difference. I recently replaced the OCW SSD due to premature failure and spin a new installation of El Capitan on a new drive. I eliminated the monitor and cable as a culprit, so I think that I am dealing with an internal failure. The machine is not under warranty.
I read a lot of posts on mini Mac in thermal shutdown models particularly image, mine has not overheated or goes out, he simply loses its video signal. Fans and ports are clean and free of dust.
Everyone knows about this problem?
Install a fan speed and temperature app to help you determine if it is really related monitoring temp.

Mac Mini 2010 Date and reset time
SP, recently, apparently without any reason at all, date and time of my Mac Mini will reset to January 1, 2000 at 00:00:00 every time that I turn on/off. I tried various methods, such as getting it automatically sets the time and date, manually set the time and date and time zones and other things. Nothing has worked.
As in the title, it's a Mac Mini 2010. I had this problem before with a full boot disk and other things, drive hard replacement necessary. He was replaced earlier this year, and I had no problem with him since then, so far. It is the break Safari (certificates are not recognized), internet and other applications such as soft. Any suggestions?
A flat battery logic-board can cause this behavior. Refer to the user manual for replacement instructions. You may need to take the machine to a provider of services to have to replace the battery.

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.
