• Future of the Mac Mini early 2009

  Hello

  I have a Mac Mini early 2009 with the following specifications:

  Intel Core 2 Duo 2.26 GHz

  6 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

  NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256 MB

  OS X 10.11.1

  I mainly work with Adobe CC2015: applications InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop. For most 2D design. I know, for my work, the RAM is important as well as the HARD drive. I could be wrong. At this stage I do not know whether to invest in a new Mac Mini, or try adding more RAM to it and perhaps a better HARD drive. I noticed that Seagate launches new SSHD which combine the speed of an SSD with a HARD drive storage.

  To get a better understanding of me thinking, I always try to do my best with what I have. Five years ago, when I started this business I was actually using a PPC G4 with Adobe CS3. Two years later, I bought a G5 and run Adobe CS4. Now, three years ago since I have computer yhis in my service and I am very happy that she. However, I noticed that started pretty slow when several applications are running (i.e.Safari with a tracking application recording time, MS Word, InDesign, Illustrator or Photoshop and Excel). Last project, I have had has been great with the 200 Mb InDesign files. It took minutes to package a project make my productivity calving. Otherwise, it works great.

  Bottom line will be how quickly it became too old to be in my service?

  It would make a difference at this stage to add little extra RAM, buy a new HARD drive and decommissioning maybe my OS to OS X 10.10 maximum or even OS X 10.9?

  It will make a big difference between my Mac Mini and a new Mac Mini with processor 1.4 GB, 8 GB of RAM and a 1.5 GB video card?

  Any advice would be much appreciate it.

  Kind regards

  Sebastian

  Your Mac supports 8 GB or RAM, so ranging from 6 to 8 GB help only a little but will help.

  Replacing the Rotary HD with a SSD will really help. It is not hard to do. Because SSDS are relatively inexpensive no, I wouldn't go with a hybrid car.

  1.4 GHz, Min 2014 has a 64 bit, multi-core of the note of 5341

  Score of your Mini is 2278

  Thus, the 2014 will be much faster.

  I don't see any real advantage to downgrade the OSX version

  If you have another Thunderbolt cable, plug it into the unused port on the

  Thunderbolt Display and then in the Mini and see if the same thing happens.

  What you can see is a precursor of the poster, built out of the cable.

  At least, it could eliminate a costly repair problem.  Although the cable itself is not

  expensive, opening to the top of the screen of TB to replace could be.

  Well that not connected on a Mini, I began to see in similar behavior my

  iMac, so that there was finally a break in the complete cable.

• Mini Mac - exchange of hard disks

  I have two mini Mac - the two 2012.

  Mac mini #1 is i7 2.6 GHz Quad Core - my first desktop computer

  Mac mini #2 is i3 2.3 GHz Dual Core - used as HTPC / Media Server

  #1 has (2) 1 TB disks, which I use a lot less than half (I also have external drives)

  #2 a (1) 512 MB internal drive, which is almost complete

  I plan to (1) move the 1 TB drives from #1 to #2 and move all data (mainly from the iTunes music ALAC and some iMovie video), that would solve the question of space. While they are open I consider also adding an SSD as the diskette of starting to #1, this would improve the startup time, run certain programs a little faster and a 256 MB or 512 MB disk would be inexpensive, that I would win a little more than space for data too. (to be honest, the Mac mini is jealous of the SSD in my MacBook)

  I've increased the RAM to #2, replace a switch of volume on a 3 g iPhone and replaced a screen on an iPad 2, so I'm not afraid of detail work - but only the RAM was easy. I also watched the videos on the replacement of a HD for this model on iFixIt. What is not clear is how much more difficult it is to make the first record as the second. If I move just a reader I wouldn't have to dig in the 1st Bay.

  So, my questions:

  (1) how can I say on the report system which drive is in the Bay, by whom I have which is on top, which is at the bottom? Or can I assume that the startup disk is always on top? (harder to do)

  (2) is the player in the upper Bay of much more difficult to replace?

  (3) I would also examine suggestions for a reliable SSD, but this isn't the substance of my question.

  Thanks for your help...

  Here's a video OWC on how to add a second drive to a Mac mini (same steps for 2011) 2012. I bought their data Doubler kit (and the extra ribbon cable) so that I would have the tools to get the job done right. Seen their detailed video while performing the surgery. I bought a 128 GB OCZ Vertex SSD (now a division of Toshiba and new product name VT180 series) for main and kept startup disk the Apple 512 GB of disk in place. The OCZ Vertex is fast and reliable for fall 2011.

• You can use old iMac as a monitor for mini Mac

  You can use 2008 iMac as a monitor for mini Mac?

  No, because the iMac of 2008 not display entered or supported to do so.

  See > use your iMac as a display with the target - Apple Support Display Mode

  You can use a connection network and something like ScreenRecycler

  See > https://www.screenrecycler.com/ScreenRecycler.html

  However, the best bet is to use a regular external monitor with the Mac Mini.

• Mini Mac waking from sleep. A SOLUTION.

  I had the same problem that everyone has:

  Mini Mac won't sleep, requiring a shutdown and restart.

  I found the cause of my problem. This solution has been tested.

  Your system may differ from mine, but my solution can give you some ideas to try.

  My system: Mac mini (mid-2011), running Lion.

  On March 19, the eve of the day when the problem started, I sent a print job on my printer.

  The next morning (20 March) the problem started and happened again on 21 March.

  Exact symptoms seen: screen switch mode; However energy saving, the computer never goes sleep (front panel LED rest of suite, throughout the night, did not have his usual pattern of sleep slow breathing).

  In particular, the "system.log" file shows the usual "alarm maintenance" wake up every 2 hours. The newspapers just go quiet.

  Impression triggered the problem:

  My printer is a recent model Brother laser printer.

  Since March 19, I had been using Control-P to print documents;

  However, at no time I turn on the printer; my intention was to accumulate my impressions for several days,

  After that, I planned to turn on the printer and do my print and send all at once, for efficiency.

  It helped me: this solved my problem:

  March 21, I was wondering if something in the print queue prevented from sleeping.

  Experimentally, I opened app leader brother printing and deleted the print job in the queue,

  and BINGO, I instantly found the opportunity to sleep and wake my Mac mini.

  Other tests have shown that the problem is reproducible at will. :^)

  On 22 March, I tested the mini to ensure he sleeps and wakes.

  Then I sent a print job to the print queue, leaving the printer off and tried to sleep the computer.

  The problem comes back immediately: the display fell asleep but the computer does not.

  Then I connected ssh via LAN and issued:

  % lpq

  for the number of working the print job, then

  lprm % [jobnumber]

  to clear the print queue of the printer.

  This delete the print job, and the computer went to sleep immediately.

  Moral: They say devices can prevent sleep.

  Well, it shows that a device can prevent sleep without even be turned on!

  Tip: If you * must * stop your mini, first try to connect to the local network via ssh and issue the

  sudo shutdown - hour now

  for a stop more ordered by limiting the risk of data loss.

  PS. usually I can solve any problem of sleep if I ssh in from a different computer and question

  killall % ScreenSaverEngine

  but this does not work in this case.

  This object could be turned into a 'trick' - If you want to.

  Given that it is useful and not directed towards another user in a response.

• Peuvent mini-Macs communicate-to-peer using bluetooth?

  If so, can I use X 11 to do?  X 11 is, indeed, a cross-windows application?  Should I use for transfer error correction?

  Whickwithy wrote:

  Mini Mac connect-to-peer using bluetooth does

  I do not know.  There is an entry in the preferences system-> network of bluetooth devices, but which may be limited to attach to a cell phone to access the internet.  I'm not sure.  You can experiment with the configuration of the network at least.

  OS X Yosemite: connect to the Internet with a mobile phone Bluetooth active>

  If so, can I use X 11 to do?  X 11 is, indeed, a cross-windows application?  Should I use for transfer error correction?

  If you get a network connection, if you can get X 11 to talk, she must be the connection TCP/IP and TCP protocol provides a reliable transfer.

  Just checking, but you know that OS X is NOT X 11 as its windowing technology.  You can use XQuartz for X 11 using a Unix or Linux system.  But you won't be able to say a typical application for Mac that his DISPLAY server is more about it another system.  The best you can do with OS X is use screen sharing to display applications running on the remote system.

  NOTE: Bluetooth is not a fast transport and X 11 is a very chatty Protocol.  If you get X 11 windows displayed through the Bluetooth, it's perhaps not as sensitive as you use a WiFi or Ethernet connection.  Not having done something like that, I'm just speculating.

  If you can get a connection, then chances are you can do ANY kind of network operation in all of what the Mac is normally supported.

• I have a mac 2009 i (late), I want again to install snow leopard (I have the disc), but my driver disk is broken! So I want to ask if there is a way to create a disk image of my windows pc to use it through the hard drive of my imac Lord?

  External DVD USB drives are cheap. Usually $20 for a good quality player. Just buy one of these at Best Buy or another store and use it to install Snow Leopard. Then you also have a drive for something else that you have on the disk.

• Speed of sata for 2012 mini mac link only 3A negotiated Gigabit?

  I just bought a 2012 mini mac, processor i5 2.5 GHz opportunity. It seems that everything is delivered as originally, the hard drive is HTS545050A7E362 (5400 RPM). I think that it initially comes with Mountain Lion, but now the OS is 10.9.5 Mavericks. I plan to hand 10.8 Cougar on it soon.

  It seems to take so long to start as my mac mini 2010. I made a backup and he seemed to be very slow. It was a few days ago. Today, using 'about this Mac' and looking at the Express SATA/SATA, it shows Intel Series 7 Chipset, connection speed: 6 Gigabit, negotiated speed: 3 Gigabit.

  Should it? If that's all that the current drive can do, which will motivate me to get an SSD. I intend to change the OS anyway, I'll do this first and see if a difference. I tried searching for this info online and cannot find published specifications, and there are some problems like this, but with models much earlier with different circuits firmware. Maybe I'll try start several times with the command-V, even if I think I'm going to need a camera high speed to capture the output. Is it possible to display the default info not requiring only the command-V?

  6.0 is supported. The drive may be 3.0.

• Mini Mac does not connect to restore the iPad 2

  I work in a public library, and we have several iPad 2s who lend us out for our guests to use. Between each user, restore us the iPad to factory default with a mac mini, then reinstall our applications from the iTunes backup. Since we have upgraded to iOS 9.2 a month ago, we had trouble getting the restore process of working part. When we try, we get this error message: "there was a problem downloading the software for the iPad. The requested resource is not found. »

  The mini connects to iTunes and can surf the web without any problem, we do not have any anti-virus installed on it, and we tried to connect via our LAN and WiFi. We have the latest version of iTunes and the latest iOS on the mini. We rebooted the mini many times. I checked the file hosts, in accordance with the instructions from apple, and apparently is not the issue. I am able to restore the iPad on a Windows PC and then move them to the mini to apply the settings of our saved backup, so I think the problem is with the mini itself, although it now occupies about 3 times more time to reinstall the applications as before.

  We've been ready ipads in recent years without any major problems and have made no changes to the default settings of the mini otherwise to update the iOS. Restore the iPad is the only thing we use the mini for. I would appreciate any advice.

  What OSX version and what version of iTunes?

  You say Mac mini Mac OS X (10.7.5)

  The last OSX is 10.11.2 and iOS 9.2 requires at least 10.8.5 to get the required iTunes version
