• 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!

• My late 2009 Mac Mini supports a 2 TB HDD?

  I am planning to install my Samsung 2 TB solid state drive internally, i.e. inside my late 2009 Mac Mini.  Right now he is in an external enclosure and works very well. He really accelerated the performance of my "old" mini  The improvement is dramatic enough.  My Mini has 8 GB of RAM and runs warm, never hot.  I'm afraid that even a disc SSD, which takes place usually cool in the external case, can heat things if installed inside the Mini.  Thanks in advance for your answer.

  -Steve

  Yes provided that the thickness is 9.5 mm or thinner, which should be the case for one SSD.

• Flash Player Mac Mini overheating

  Flash player is constantly conflicted now on my Mac Mini and causing overheating.

  If you hear your fan spins at high speed to check the CPU usage percentage using the Monitor Utility application.

  I see red now quite often in the utility monitor indicating 100% CPU usage and "not responding".

  It comes with Safari 9.0.1 and OS X 10.10.5 Yosemite.

  It does not help that Flash Player is higher version.

  I really don't want to burn my Mac Mini so I advanced and uninstalled flash player.

  Google Chrome has flash player as a built-in plugin, so you have to go on: URL plugins and disable the builtin version.

  Most of the newer sites using HTML5 now and does not blink so there must be minimal inconvenience.

  Depending on what you are using / Flash display peut be very resource hungry. My laptop fan ramp sometimes when I'm on a Flash site, but I didn't know the CPU usage up to 100%. What place (s) you visit when you see this?

  While the thermal pressure is not good for a computer, the heat is a natural by product of the processor and the fan running is not a warning of impending disaster, it means that the hardware and software do their work - keep the computer within safe limits. If the computer has reached a potentially dangerous temperature computer turns off automatically itself.

  • 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

  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.

• I upgraded to MacOS Sierra recently, since then, my Mac Mini needs to strat befor 5 times actually implemented, why?

  Mac Mini (mid-2011), 2.5 GHz mid-range Core i5, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, 256 GB Solid State Drive Storage

  10.12 MacOS

  I upgraded to MacOS Sierra recently, since then, my Mac Mini must start 5 times before it actually starts.

  It starts and restarts in the middle of the boot process, 4 times.

  Why?

  I have experienced a similar curiosity, but often with messing around on a Linux partition. I do not have a definitive answer for you, but check on this thread (MacBook Pro will restart several times during the boot process) and maybe here further (oots http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/88213/how-to-find-cause-of-repeated-reb)

  I hope this helps!

• Presenter PowerPoint on Mac mini mode displayed on the screen and the projector when using HDMI splitter

  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!

• 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.

• Updated Mac Mini to Sierra - no sound

  After update to Sierra my sound doesn't work internal speaker or headphones.  However, I can send her out to airplay, and the sound from my HDMI.  So I know that my sound is not working.

  I can do the headphones work, when I unplug the HDMI.  However, selection of helmets in results in no output sound settings.

  Note: I tried all settings (for example the helmet as selection, airplay, HDMI, etc.).  I unplugged the HDMI, started to work in the sound, and then plugged headphones in HDMI and headsets leave to new and no setting will restore the sound in the headphones.  I even deleted the sound configuration files, played with the bits, MIDI and other parameters.

• 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

  What happens exactly when you start Internet recovery

  by pressing Command + Option + R at the start of the OS X Internet Recovery*.

  and go to disk utility and repair the startup disk?

  If repairable, the startup disk to format and install OSX via recovery. you install Mountain Lion or dependent Mavericks when the Mac was made. Then OSX you want.
