• Mac Mini loses the connection to the internal hard drive

  Hello

  I got in trouble once per day or almost one year that my Mini mac interrupts the communication with the hard drive. You can work away and all of a sudden all gel applications. Say, you happen to have a terminal open, if you try to execute commands in / sbin as stop or something like that, it is to say that you don't have access to the files with an error like this:

  bash: / sbin/shutdown: device not configured

  Finally the Terminal Server session freezes as well.

  I used the Apple Diagnostics for all the materials and it test verifies all very well. I bought and installed a copy of TechTools Pro (v8.0.3 build 1967) and he reported no problem whatsoever with everything. To be on the safe side, I replaced the memory, still no luck.

  I've lived a lot of system updates and none of them seem to have solved the problem. I am currently on OS X El Capitan v10.11.5 Beta (15F18c). Yes I know it's beta, but this problem before any release of El Capitan.

  The most reliable way to reduce the appearance of it during my work day is a reboot planned each night. For one reason or another, which reduces the frequency.

  I am at a loss on how to fix this and would appreciate any advice.

  Material is a Mac mini (end of 2012), the processor is an Intel Core i5 2.5 GHz, is now 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 memory, graphic is Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB, storage is a 500.11 SATA GB Apple drive ST500LM012 HARD drive

  Thanks in advance.

  Maybe a bad connection tight to the HD. It could be the end of the water which connects to the system board. I had similar symptoms on my Mini 2012 and it is in this regard.  Like you if I stop and then after awhile restarted, it would be OK for a while.

  It could also be a problem with the HD

  Hello @adsben,

  I understand that the image quality for your HP monitor is poor when connected to your Mac Mini, and I'd be happy to help you in this case!

  According to this document on the use of Monitors HP on a Mac:

  "The HP monitors are not supported in a Mac environment. However, recent Macs use graphics with VESA modes and can display most of the HP LCD monitors. To do this, connect the monitor to the Mac, while the Mac is turned off and then turn on Mac. The monitor must operate at 60 Hz. The INF and software for the HP monitor are for Microsoft Windows and cannot be run in a standard MAC OS environment. »

  I hope this helps!

• Can I use the Thunderbolt on my Mac Mini port to connect external studio monitor speakers?

  I have a set of technical Pro monitor speakers that use Bluetooth to connect to the Mac.  However, I don't like the way they sound on Bluetooth, and I prefer not to use the headphone jack to hang them either.  Is there a a way to connect them using the Thunderbolt ports or USB ports?

• HP mini 210 2000: connection problems with BT hub 5

  I just got a new hub BT 5 and I am trying to connect my netbook to the wireless printer, but I can't get the printer to recognize the hub. What should I do to fix the problem? The printer is a HP Deskjet F4580

  Hello there @Roger22H!

  Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  Setup wireless on the printer make sure that the computer is connected to the network, first of all.  You must temporarily connect the USB cable to the computer, but all first install the HP software CD.  Do not connect the USB cable until the software tells you too. The software will ask you how you want to connect to the printer.  Select wireless and will ask you to connect the USB cable.  The software must place the computer is connected to the network.  Select your network and enter the password wireless.  The software will transfer the information wireless to the printer via the USB cable.  Once the printer is connected wireless you will be asked to remove the USB cable.  Complete the configuration of the software, and you should be all set.

  Let me know how it goes!

• Inspiron 1520 w / 1395 mini-map wireless connection problem

  I just got a new laptop Inspiron 1520 with a 1395 802. 11 g Mini Card. We have a cable broadband connection and there is an office with a wireless router. I don't know whether or not it is a 'network'. The new computer found the wireless connection but not connecting not (cannot find server). The status shows "absorbent address." I tried to copy the same ISP that my old laptop had, but this doesn't seem to help. Also if it is a network, I need a network key password - make up or what? The wireless router is about 2 years old and I think it's a Belkin. I'm lost. Thanks for all the ideas.

• Contacts on Mac-Mini disappeared after turning on iCloud

  I dropped the phone flip 3 weeks ago and you own an iPhone SE. used shortcut Yahoo mail on the self to put in place the Mail (IMAP) iOS and it worked OK.  But, I wanted to be able to choose from different 'reply-to' e-mail addresses when sending in the iOS Mail, so I deleted the SE today and manually Yahoo email account added the yahoo account in iOS Mail which then allowed me to add my various addresses 'reply-to' for the account (for some reason that the option was not available when you use the Yahoo shortcut to configure the IMAP account).

  But that now, meant that I was is more synchronized on the self to the Yahoo mail on the web addressbook, I've built over the years.  No worries, well--I decided to use iCloud for access/sync Contacts (and only) on my Mac Mini.

  The problem: when I registered in iCloud, on the Mini first, then the iPhone IS, nothing happened as far as I could tell.  There was no "synchronization" happening as far as I could tell.  I've created a contact test on the self to see if she would come over to the Mini and it was around this time that I realized all the 1,000 or contacts on the Mini were so missing, except one or two under my name!  And at some point I noticed that the contact test synced on more Contacts on the Mini!  So, somehow I deleted contacts from the Mini and then synchronized with the iPhone successfully SE?

  More info: I think that when I turned first on iCloud on the Mini, I can accidentally switch off answering a question on this that need localization service to find my Mac.   I think that I turned on the self iCloud and when nothing happened, I went back on the Mini and rekindled iCloud.

  Therefore, the Mini contacts are lost forever (contact details are all text, no image or anything complicated)?   I did a full backup of the Mini five weeks before installing El Capitan, although I don't know how or where Apple stores Contacts information).  How are they so easily deleted in the first place the mini?  It is the error of the operator on iCloud getting to work or is it a bug any? He works this contact because a trial moved on? I know, there was problems with iCloud when El Capitan came out last year.

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  Note that the Mac Mini is running El Capitan 10.11.4

• Problems with WiFi on Mac Mini / problems of Wifi on my Mac Mini

  (English version is below)

  Hello

  I recently bought a Mac Mini/2.6GHZ/8GB/1TB‑FRA. In recent days, he regularly Öhlins of WiFi.

  Wifi is enabled, spots of it appears in the bar, my networks are found, but as soon as I click on it, he may tell me that it cannot access.

  All my other devices, not LUN MacBookAir connect to wifi on these same networks in the same room.

  I used the diagnostic tool, without effect, I checked my router, not more...

  In addition, he rowed a little, but regularly. For example, the seizure hits of EST programming problems... so:

  Help!

  Thank you in advance

  Hi, sorry for my weak English level...

  I recently bought a Mac Mini/2.6GHZ/8GB/1TB‑FRA. For days, he can't catch wifi network.

  WiFi is on, it appears on the screen high taskbar, my networks is in the list... but when I select them, he cannot access them.

  All other devices, including my MacBookAir, can use WiFi and access to my networks in this room.

  I tried the diagnostic tool, with no effect, I checked my router modem, nothing weird...

  In addition, now, my Mac Mini seems to have some slight delay. For example, typping is slightly off of the consultation on the screen... so:

  HELP ME PLEASE!

  Thank you very much

• Drive external hard (connected to the Mac mini USB) disconnect during use

  I have a 3 TB (WD green) hard drive in an external hard drive enclosure "miniStack MAX Media", connected to my Late 2012 Mac mini via USB.

  I don't know when he started to do this, but I recently noticed that it was dismantling even when she was in use; the error was:

  Disc eject does not correctly
  EJECT 3 ' TB' before you unplug or turn off.

  I replaced the USB cable and saw the same mistakes.

  I moved the HARD drive to a different box. same mistakes.

  I swapped the HARD drive to a whole new WD 4TB blue; same mistakes.

  So now I have a new drive in a new case with a new cable, and I see the same messages "Disk not ejected correctly".

  (By the way the disk utility has shown that the two discs were fine when I ran first aid.)

  This brings me to assume that the problem is with my Mac mini, which runs at El Capitan and is fully aware of the updates of the operating system.

  Recommendations on next steps to investigate and resolve this problem?

  It seems that your external draws too much power. That shows the report of your system? You have an external power supply for external drive? Have you tried to use all the USB ports on your Mac?

• Connection of the old Mac Iomega Zip to the Mac Mini

  I couldn't find an answer to this common question I could map to a solution to my problem, so:

  I have an old Iomega 250 MB Zip disk that I used on a Mac of pre-iMac. It is a parallel port connection. I'm trying to use it on a Mac mini running El Capitan. I am trying to connect a parallel cable mini / USB. I am recovering some important files from this bygone era. I have the Mac Ziptools drive.

  I don't know if it's to see the player: he seems afflicted to a connected player ID, but can't open it nor report any info on this.

  So, in fact do this as shown? If this is not the case, how can I do this? Thank you.

  I do not know its being a common question. At least not in this decade.   My G4 has a Zip drive, but it dates back to 2002.

  I don't remember if the readers required Zip one driver special for which I suspect 99.999% there is no version of El Capitan.  He could have that included in the operating system returns with OS9, but because people have stopped using Zip disks long ago should not appear in a newer operating system.

• connection ethernet Mac mini

  My Mac Mini (latest model 2014) suddenly stopped to connect to my network home yesterday. I can still connect wirelessly, but not via the ethernet cable.

  I tried to connect the Mac Mini to different ethernet ports, without passing through routers and switches and using different cables. But it doesn't go anywhere.

  Other computers (Windows) to connect very well to all ethernet ports.

  Can someone tell me how I can determine if this is a hardware problem or a software problem?

  In Network preferences, he says just "Cable Disconnected".

  Thank you
  Ian
