Mac Mini blocked, does not respond to the keyboard

So, we have a mac mini since 2006. Since 2007, he has 24 hours a day.

Now it has crashed, and while restarting it seems to be stuck at the gray screen with the apple logo.

The circle under it is moving, it seems that it is still starting.

I tried all kinds of different key combi any reboots, but nothing seems to work. Even the light caps lock does not work on the keyboard.

Have you tried to dismantle the mini and put back together. No luck.

Can someone tell me what is happening? Would appreciate your help!

Best guess would be a failing hard drive. You can try to boot from the original CD/DVD comes with your Mac or DVD for an improved version of OS X, run disk utility to repair the internal disk partition.

Note: It is advisable to restart your Mac on a regular basis as opposed to she works 24 hours a day for 8 years.

It also helps to provide as much information as possible on your Mac. There are 4 different models MacMini that can be described as of 2006, and you do not identify the version of your OS X.

    Sounds like keyboard problem.
    The operating system uses the pilot to clean keyboard and generally it s not necessary to reinstall the special keyboard driver.
    But one thing is really strange; the yellow exclamation mark in Device Manager

    Eventually it s only a problem of software in such a case, a system restore can be useful...

    Have you checked if the keyboard works in the BIOS?
    Do this!

    If the keyboard does not work in the BIOS, then you will need to replace the internal keyboard with the new.

  • Thunderbird starts by does not respond after the update to version 38

    I've updated to version 38.0 yesterday and since then whenever I open Thunderbird, he refuses to open and top watch does not respond. I have to close it via the Task Manager. What's past and how to fix it?

    > I tried in safe mode and it opens and I see my mail but when I try again to open it in mode normal it is just the same thing.

    This clearly suggests that something you added to Thunderbird or the operating system is causing at least some of your problems. If the problem occurs with the OS in normal mode and Thunderbird in SafeMode - http://support.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/kb/safe-mode - then you should suspect a program that is loaded by the operating system, such as antivirus. But if it helps me to http://support.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/kb/safe-mode , then the problem is related to an add-on, or accerlation of material found in tools | options | Advanced | General

    The list file you most often is a process associated with Norton 360. However, malware is sometimes assumed the names of the legitimate files in order to deceive the end user. Norton is a Devourer of known system and as a result, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that he is a legitimate file in your case. However, I recommend you download, to update and scan with Malwarebytes and Superantispyware, just to be sure. If the scans do not detect the file and the problem persists I would contact Norton or remove Norton making sure to use the tool to uninstall do.

  • When the Admin sign on the office comes to the top, but after that the computer does not respond when the user tries to do anything. There are actually turns off the computer with the power button.

    Original title: user profile

    My administrator user profile does not work properly, but I have a user profile that has activated the parental control that worked well for about a year and yesterday when this user logs on the desktop comes up, but after that the computer does not respond when that user tries to do anything. There are actually turns off the computer with the power button.  I ran a virus scan and spyware scan in my user admin profile and he has not found anything.  I don't know what to check.

    Hello rhunter15,

    There may be a program to interfere with Parental controls so that we can try a few things to see if we can determine the application or program that is causing problems.

    First of all, we run System File Checker to see if you have a corrupt file system.

    • Click Start
    • Click on all programs
    • Click Accessories, and then right-click on the command prompt.
    • Select the Security tab and choose "Run as Administrator"
    • Click on command prompt
    • Type SFC/scannow.

    It will scan and repair any damaged operating system files.

    To determine if there is a program because of a conflict, we recommend that you perform a "clean boot" of the computer. A clean boot is designed to disable programs and services in the background as much as possible. This helps determine which service or program can be the cause of the problem.  For more information about how to perform a clean boot for troubleshooting, click the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.

    KB 929135 - how to solve a problem of performaing a clean boot in Windows Vista.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Once you have finished the clean boot, check again and see if you get the error of parental control.

    If please post again and let us know if that helped pinpoint the problem or if you still need help.

  • Left click of the mouse does not respond in the office and I could see 2 together (Picture) Office

    Everything works well today that the left click of the mouse is not responding on the desktop (icons does not meet the double click). Right click works ok, and left click works well on programs and in the taskbar.

    Weird things here, it's that I can see two desktop at the same time.

    I have attached a picture.

    Can someone help me?

    Thanks in advance.

    I got disabling the system restore, so I can't go back to a good version.

    Turn off the system restore makes things much more difficult. Your problem is probably due to an inappropriate registry setting. You can restore your registry files manually to a previous point through the steps described below. The process is complex and requires some careful typing. Ask a computer-savvy friend to help you if you lack experience in this field. You may reset your password to an earlier value.

    Check the date of the file C:\Windows\System32\config\regback\System. It precedes the date when you became aware of your problem? If so, follow these steps:

    1. keep tapping F8 during the first phase of startup.

    2. Select repair in the menu that looks like this.

    3 log in as administrator if you are prompted.

    4. Select repair when prompted.

    5. Select the command line in the menu that looks like this.

    6. identify the correct drive letter for your Windows installation. It could be one drive other than c, but it will not X:. You do this by typing commands
    DIR C:\Win*
    Dir D:\Win*
    dir E:\Win*
    until you find the Windows folder.
    I'll call this "Q:" drive
    7 type these commands exactly:
    CD /d Q:\windows\System32\config
    xcopy *. * Q:\MyRegBack\
    CD RegBack
    8 type these commands:
    copy software / y...
    /y copy system...
    /y copy Sam...
    (the two points are part of each order)
    10. restart normally. If things don't work then you can go back by copying files from the original register of Q:\MyRegBack to Q:\Windows\System32\config.

  • Superior 1/4 screen does not respond to the mouse - cannot disconnect sites when Logout button is in this area, IE. Facebook, banks, etc.. This does not happen with IE. I reinstalled Firefox without result.

    Menu bar, tabs, history, research, etc. work fine, but in this area, I am unable to access anything whatsoever. For example, on the Firefox help screen the area on the right side of the screen that shows my user id - Sign Out - Inbox - and other applications will not respond to the mouse. Therefore, I will be unable to sign using Firefox. This is true for every Web site I have access.

  • Mac Mini - Finder does not open

    I have a Mac Mini with os x 10.10 2014.  The boot disk was almost full and the finder does not open.  I open the iPhoto and deleted the pictures and then empty the trash in iPhoto.  By logging in as a different user, I see I have ~ 1 GB of space, but when I log on my main account and admin the finder does not always open.

    I read that it was a known issue:

    http://forums.MacRumors.com/threads/Finder-doesn.

    It is said to remove the .plist files, but I can't get to Terminal to do.

    Please advise, thank you!

    Edmund

    If you were able to connect as another user, the issue is not lack of storage - this is the same computer.

    Yes, your .plist file may be corrupt, or you could have an extension conflict that affects only your user account.

    Try the start mode by holding down the SHIFT key at startup. Secure boot is quite slow because the operating system does a lot of cleanup and verification tasks, so give it time. Once you're completely connected, restart normally.

  • Mac Pro 2013 does not connect to the hard G technology drive

    Hello

    I recently bought a Mac Pro and I am trying to transfer files from my hard drive mini 1 TB of G technology itself. The files came from a backup who was recently transferred to my 2011 macbook pro. I tried using cord USB 3.0 for the Mac Pro doesn't have a firewire plugs, but it does not recognize my hard drive. The hard drive is not showing any signs of work because I don't hear the fans turn on the player. The hard drive connects perfectly to my macbook pro via firewire, so should I buy a bolt of lightning for this firewire adapter? I really hope that I don't need to buy a new external, but I'd love to hear a few options for this issue, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Best regards

    May be that the USB port does not provide enough power. Sabrina drve is provided with a plug that allows to connect a plug to an AC wall power supply.

    It works via the USB port on your MacBook? The USB part is maybe defective.

  • Key combination does not respond before the start

    Hello. I have a macbook pro 13 "2015 retina.

    The problem I have is the same as the title, but it's not regular "choose the appropriate settings startup disk' because I tried already several times.

    Mind you, none of these problems remain once Mac OS startup has finished, it is just the period prior to initialization.

    Here is the list of problems.

    1. There is a very long period of black screen (backlight on) between the startup sound and the apple logo appears on the screen.

    2. start after key combinations take a long time to register. For example, 'boot disk selection window' takes more than 2 minutes of waiting. I have to wait while pressing the option key. It also applies to enter recovery, reset pram, entering the diagnosis, enter safe mode, etc..

    3. once I finally get a function running, there is a delay of keyboard/trackpad. Interactions appear unusably slow on Boot Disk selector and Internet Recovery(wifi selection). Trackpad responds a minute after I hit, it is the keyboard.

    4. There is no wifi signal on Internet recovery for about three minutes (my hotspot is 5 cm behind my mac).

    To sum up, it feels like the processor is clocked at 5 Mhz or something.

    Here is a list of what I tried.

    1 reset the smc, pram

    2 reinstalling Mac OS

    3 internal SSD flash disk formatting and installing Mac OS

    4. remove the boot camp

    5. remove the magsafe

    6 safe mode (no matter, because I do not think it is related to Mac OS anyway)

    I have no external devices or readers, all that is present is the magsafe.

    I always have Apple Care has left, so feel free to tell me if you think it's a hardware problem. Thank you for reading, and I appreciate your help.

    Please make an appointment at the Apple Store - Genius Bar store and bring it into service. If you are in the United States or is unable to make an appointment in this way, contact your Apple store.
