• 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.

  Question:

  Video signal is de-energized.

  Hi all

  I use this machine to run Logic Pro X. I tried a few monitors and different cables, but the result is the same.

  the video signal sporadically goes out. The only way I can get it is back to turn off the Mini for a hour or stick it in the fridge for 5 minutes. It doesn't seem to be dependent on the temperature, since it happens a lot less in the months more cold however showed the journal to monitor temperature as low as 73 C time and he fell again the thermal signal can therefore not the question.

  The fan seems to work and I tried to change the memory to return with noticed no difference. I recently replaced the OCW SSD due to premature failure and spin a new installation of El Capitan on a new drive. I eliminated the monitor and cable as a culprit, so I think that I am dealing with an internal failure. The machine is not under warranty.

  I read a lot of posts on mini Mac in thermal shutdown models particularly image, mine has not overheated or goes out, he simply loses its video signal. Fans and ports are clean and free of dust.

  Everyone knows about this problem?

  Install a fan speed and temperature app to help you determine if it is really related monitoring temp.

  Hello

  I would like to know how I could erase a partition I did by mistake. My Mac is very low in memory and, of course, I as soon as I open some applications Mac starts to bug... I just did an installation fee and it's still going slowly...

  When I try to do it with disk utility, it is impossible. I have a screen shot so that you could understand my problem more...

  

  OS X is installed on Macintosh HD, it is the general principle.

• Use two monitors on Mac Mini end of 2012

  Hello

  I am currently using only a single monitor (A Dell S2340M 23 "") with my Mac Mini end of 2012 (with these ports: Mac mini (end of 2012): external ports and connectors - Apple Support), and I am interested in adding a second monitor, something around the same size as my current. How to connect two monitors on my Mac? Thanks in advance.

  The support for the Mac Mini shows article (end of 2012) and details which ports can do.

  So you would probably need to get an adapter Thunderbolt using a second screen, seems.

  See the items listed to connect to the Thunderbolt port in the link you posted. I have the same

  link to my favorites for more than a year...

  I have an i7 Mac Mini end of 2012, using only a screen Apple Cinema (aluminium).

  Another option would also buy a bolt of lightning multiple port dock. Some allow others

  products and ports in double. (Upward to 12 points, USB3.0, Thundebolt, etc) not cheap. A

  A few screens can allow a Garland; Note looks like a bolt of lightning MiniDisplay port but can

  not act like one. Adapters can allow minidisplay run Thunderbolt. See supported

  Article and then see the page of the Apple store in graphics cards.

  OWC has also an external optical drive with several ports integrated (with additional HARD disk).

  Good luck!

• End of 2012 very slow Mac. Etrecheck joint

  I have a Mac to end 2012, El Capitan, which has been gradually running slower and slower.  It seems preferable, once he is fully initialized, but it takes that which feels like an age to actually start, and if I try to open applications such as Mail, Safari. Finder etc., I sometimes get the beachball for several minutes.  I ran a couple of Etrechecks for beachballing and the other for the computer is too slow.  The disk information section seems worrying, but I'm not really sure what I'm looking at in the Etrecheck, so some constructive advice would be welcome.

  Thank you very much in anticipation.

  If you do not have a backup, copy both of your documents on a external drive NOW.

  Then go to an authorized Apple store or repair shop and have the hard drive replaced.

  If possible, take the opportunity to replace the old hard drive with an SSD. You will be amazed at your 'new' machine. It's like night and day.

• 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.

• Pay Apple Safari works on a Mac, built in 2012

  In the same vein, will copy / paste between Mac OS and iOS work with a mac, built in the same time?

  Thank you

  Hello, Adrian.

  We are all end-users, as you have so no special knowledge of plans for the future of Apple outside what they have announced so far.

  Usually, once a new package of Mac OS is finalized, there are notes at the bottom of the web page describing the new features shows any material (camera model) limits for each feature. If this is not present on the page of the Sierra (was not the last time I looked for it), Apple has not finalized the OS version and the terms of use here, we cannot discuss unreleased products beyond what Apple - not a third rumore site - has announced.

  So we must all wait until the release date is closer.

• 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.

  Thanks for sharing!
