Mac mini missing disk

• Mac Mini, no disk drive

  Recently bought a new Mac Mini to replace the old I used for 5 years. The old man had a hard drive, is not news. I had installed by disc 11 items last summer on the old. Totally forgot to transfer items to the new, and of course the drive is useless on the new Mini. Any way I can transfer to the new computer?

• Change the hard disk of 1.4 Ghz Mac Mini end of 2014

  Good morning Apple community, so here's the problem: I had a voltage breakdown because via the USB port of an EPSON LX - 300 printer, at present when the USB and the Mac Mini contact, ventilation Mac shutoff valve and after a few tries to do turn it finally do. But I see that a gray folder appears with an exclamation mark, then, with my other mac I download OS X El Capitan and do a Booteable USB, after that I enter the utilities disk and found that the "Macintosh HD" was not there and 2 USB 3.0 also didn't work. I picked up at a technical Service allow in my city and have told me that the HARD drive is broken and must be replaced, they say it could be replace by an of a 7200 rpm or 5400 RPM HARD drive RPM HARD drive, also says that couldn't put an SSD. I start research and found it is possible to put an SSD without problem. So my question is that's for sure, so I trust that an SSD will work with flawessly, and that I will also get a big performance improvement.

  My Mac is:

  Mac Mini end of 2014 1.4 Ghz 4 GB of RAM, Intel HD 5000 and a 500 GB drive HARD 5400 RPM death.

  So, my best regards to the community and hope for a response.

  I've been running my 2014 MM off an external SSD with USB 3.0 since the beginning of this year, after a bunch of trial and error; That's what I have:

  • Samsung 850 Evo SSD
  • Cutting Ultra Slim 2.5 SATA to USB 3.0 aluminum hard drive external enclosure

  Unfortunately, I don't have much advice to give you else make sure you have a proper forum for IT. From my experience, the bad speaker will make the difference in whether or not the Mac recognizes the SSD on initialize toward the top.

  Good luck!

• SOS 8 disk error / pb with mac mini HD

  Hello

  I have a really hard time for 4 days with my mac mini.

  I had 2 partitions, the first with el capitan, last version update / the second with window 7 via bootcamp

  the first problem that appeared is that none of my software on window wanted to start

  then I tried to clean the window partition to reinstall the window. but when I went to mac to do, I felt that there was a problem on mac too

  I then put onyx who said there was a problem and so I deleted all reformatted 0, took quite a long time

  I reinstalled el capitan, first step, put onyx to check, who said there was a problem (yet).

  I restarted because he asked with cmd - R and did the sos on two HD thing listed:

  the real one APPLE HD HTS5... (it's OK)

  and the one with the single partition that I called mac mini: it cannot be fully verified. and appear in the error no. 8 SOS process failed: the drive could not be completely checked the exit code of the audit is 8: checking or repairing the system files failed. operation failed.

  I guess this isn't normal? What do you thing? What should I do? Thanks in advance for your help. Here's the message (in french)...

  

  

  I can't read the French.

  If you boot to recovery then

  OS X: on OS X Recovery - Apple Support

  or an installation disc and go to disk utility and cannot repair the disk, which typically means the disc is broken and must be replaced.

• Really slow Mac Mini on the first commissioning

  I bought my Mac Mini because the old PC had an age to start up. Now, my Mac Mini is even worse. I also have an old portable (2010) I installed Windows 10 on, and it is much faster than my Mac! W10 is up and running on browser/email before Mac even gets to the user login page!

  Advice on other posts, I ran EtreCheck and updated a printer with the HP software problem. Got sorted and it really helped. But its just as bad party, ran EtreCheck again, the results below, but while the Mac was still loading up, it's done intentionally to see if I can find what it keeps. There is nothing obvious in this, can we see something that miss me it please.

  (Aware there are other posts like this but saw someone do an admonition to add their isses at the same post accusing them of 'thread-jacking')

  I suggest you remove the Avast software according to the instructions of developers. You need anti-virus software on your Mac and often through other reports Avast here seems regarded as a cause of potential problems.

  If you do remove it, restart the Mac and the test. If it makes any difference once Avast is removed, you can always reinstall it if you feel that you need (even if you haven't).

• Mac Mini server RAID spoil

  This follows a previous thread of mine.  Previously, the Mac mini server (2009, 3.1 I think) would not start.  The Apple logo and the spinning wheel seems forever.

  I found the boot disk and a USB optical drive and so I went in disk utility.  I got the software RAID 1 set up.  Hard drives were fine, physically, but the whole RAID said it is "degraded" and one of the volumes said it failed.  I tried rebuilding it but failed.  I did not delete the volume down, instead, I deleted the whole RAID, thinking that I would be able to start the disks as standalone.  Instead, or volumes are mounted, they not only mount when I click Mount, and when I turn on the machine, I now get the folder with the?.  No volumes appear when I hold down the option key when starting.  I tried discs of fixation of the Terminal and he says they were mounted with success, but they were not.  I must be missing something in the commands, I don't know them well.  I tried to create a new RAID array, but he said that all the data would be deleted.  At any given time, two RAID volumes said that they failed, and then the RAID array would not appear or appear offline as opposed to gradient.

  I screwed myself by removing the raid array?  Both drives are dismantled and their partition type is "Apple_RAID_Offline".

  Can I fix this and back up my data?

  I fixed readers are not mounted or named myself.  They are (were) mounted as an independent non-RAID drives.  They needed to be repaired and could not repair one of them says however, disk utility.  Disk utility also told me at my backup files and wipe the readers.  How can I back up my files if I can't start the machine?  There is no Finder on Mac OS X Server installation disc.

  Any suggestions?

• Cloning my Mac Mini to a smaller SSD drive

  I have a Mac Mini end-2011. Inside is a 'spinning' hard drive 500 GB. I also have a Samsung SSD 128 GB 850 vacuum EVO. I would use disk utility on these video instructions to transfer all the data from the original HD of the SSD.

  All instructions have been followed and that the whole system works very well, except the error at the end until the copying/cloning actually starts. During its installation phase, once launched, the disk utility application tells me that there is an error related to the size of the source drive that can not be copied in the targeted SSD.

  While I realize that the size IS an issue, the content of my original HD is limited to 29 GB. So copy everything should be easy, and I thought it would be handled by the app.

  SO: can I shrink the partition size of the original HD in the same size as the target SSD? It would work properly? If Yes, where can I find instructions to do this?

  Alternatively, did I miss an option somewhere in my set up the restore function? There is an option somewhere that I may have missed?

  (More in detail: when you select the source for restore partition, I chose the WHOLE - not the partition drive included.) This is maybe what is causing the problem? If I had chosen the included score only, this would work immediately and disk utility would have taken into account the size of the empty space, would have narrowed it down as a result of automatic way?)

  If you use the restoredisk utility, your Destination drive (128 GB SSD) must be the same size as your Source (500 GB) drive or equal size. I don't have not divide a disk HARD grand in separate partitions, then try to do the restore. You can try this if you want.

  So, you're the best alternative in my view is to initiate your HD Recovery from the HARD disk and reinstall OS X El Capitan on your SSD. During the installation, and then migrate your user accounts, applications, data, the parameters of your 500 GB drive.

  You can also use Carbon Copy clone or SuperDuper! to clone your disk to your SSD assuming that your HARD drive will not fill to the top of your SSD during cloning. Then, you always have to reinstall OS X El Capitan to write your Recovery HD on the SSD.

• External Drive Icon does not display desktop Mac Mini

  I have a Mac Mini with two connected external drives (2 Tera) and (3 Tera). Yesterday, Tera 2 icon disappeared and when I restarted the icon for Tera 3 missing but the 2 tear icon showed. Now when I restart now that one or the other icon. I tried different ports of switching them but get the same thing.

  They both show as attached and working in my disk utility and "about this Mac" and storage devices.

  I have the "external Drives" checked in the Finder preferences also.

  How can I fix?

• Backup of two mac mini hard drives

  I have a Mac Mini 2011 with two 500 GB hard drives.  I have apps and General things about hard drive #1 and #2 only has pictures and videos.  Will be Time Machine backs up both drives to my external hard drive as one or two separate back ups?  I see files of backup HD #1, but not sure if the HD #2 files are also there.  I can't find an answer in the support documents.  Ideas?

  Open the Time Machine system preferences pane, click Options, and check if the disks are in the exclusion list.

• You can swap between 2 Mac Mini HARD drive

• 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

  Filip

  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.

• 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!

• How to control a Mac mini with HDMI ports fries and lightning? (The rest is ok)

  Recently, a lightning strike fried video output (HDMI and lightning) ports on my Mac Mini end of 2012. As far as I know, the rest of the machine works fine. It's just blind. I can't have everyone working on this, but I don't want to throw a perfectly (well, almost perfectly) computer works.

  If I can get a control over the Mac Mini for a few days, I could set up as a dedicated time Machine or maybe even an iTunes or media Server. How can I achieve this?

  Configure the screen sharing on the Mac.

  To do this, you must have another recent Mac.

  You can start the problem Mac in target disk mode, connect the two Mac by FireWire or Thunderbolt, boot the Mac problem with button down T, boot the first Mac since the Mac HD problem and sharing Setup screen

  http://www.TechRadar.com/us/news/computing/Apple/how-to-use-screen-sharing-in-Ma c-os-x-1296285

  Alternatively, you can take the drive out of the Mac problem and start another Mac that and configure sharing screen.

  You can also get a USB video card and put in place by the target disk mode or by removing the similar disk for screen sharing

• 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!

  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.
