'New' Refurb Mac Mini froze within the 1st week - should I return?

We had our refurbished Mac Mini (8 GB, 1 TB) for less than a week, on the fifth day, he froze in the morning when my son tried to open a session (session was still active since the day before, but the Mac Mini was asleep).  The predefined cover for a long period of time, and although the mouse is moved, it did not react when you have clicked on anything whatsoever.  I had to finally press the power switch on the back, turn off the power.  There is not a lot of software installed on it yet, chrome, software the Microsoft Bluetooth mouse, keyboard of Logitech software and a few games of my son got out of the Apple App store (but did not play at the time).  I ran the diagnostic equipment, but it has not reported anything.

I'm new to Mac, so I'm wondering which, if it is a red flag, because it is a refurbished device and that I should just go back to the store and get a non renovated unit?

Download and run EtreCheck, created by one of his own assistants here in CSA. It is a diagnostic tool that is very useful for us to find problems. It will also give us additional specifications on your Mac. After his execution after the logfile here. It will never contain any personal information.

    Yes, it is better to update the old Mac EC.

    Make sure that you back up the old Mac before the upgrade.

    Note the application of some may require updated to work with CBS. To check see it:

  • Mail of the Mac Mini, iMac with the migration wizard

    I have a mac mini (2014 - El Capitan) that I have used for some time now and I have many mailboxes (30 +) with many stored messages (100s maybe 1000s).

    I recently picked up a 2011 27 iMac which is running OS X Sierra Final Release Candidate due to vision problems.

    Both units are working well but I would like to transfer my boxes to the letters, messages, and the account settings from the Mac Mini to the iMac using Migration Assistant to take advantage of the larger screen.

    Am I able to select only the data for e-mail (boxes letters, messages and settings) to transfer somewhere in the Migration Wizard interface or will it just to start the transfer of all?

    I use iCloud for note, calendars and contacts, but prefer not to use for e-mail.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    WN

    The simplest option would be to use Time Machine to restore your data.

    Other Options:

    You can export the folders you want to transfer the mini using export of Mail under mailbox function in the Menu bar > export a mailbox... Drag to the folder on the desktop on the new iMac and import in Mail. File > import boxes mailbox...

    You can also use a third-party application, Emailchemy to export your Mail on the mini and pull only the folders you want and import. If you have many files, it would be a faster option.

    http://www.weirdkid.com/products/emailchemy/

    Otherwise, you could drag on the whole Mail > V3 folder let Sierra update data. This assumes that you have already started using Mail to Sierra.

    You don't have to use iCloud email to use Apple Mail. I strongly suggest that you use IMAP to service what ever you choose to use.  Comcast, Yahoo, Gmail, AOL, Hotmail (other)

  • Lately I've been two software installed on my computer without my permission and they solve I was able to remove uninstall. This happens only within the past week.

    The names were AVG and PCMightyMax.  After you have uninstalled AVG, I had real trouble with all kinds of messages and inablility to delete messages and screens.  I felt as if they tried to force me to buy.  It took hours, but eventually after having restarted several times, all that has disappeared.

    Of course after that saw that salaries for norton were worse that the free ad-aware, I stopped using norton and have not used since, but from what I've seen, the anti-virus programs you pay (except norton) would be more effective than their free counterparts.

    Yes anti-virus programs interfere with each other, but what most likely if you have run the scans all at the same time, since they would fight on who takes care of all found viruses. It can also happen when several programs have firewalls, so when something he rapes, all programs are trying to jump on the virus at the same time, and then they fight to the wire that allows you to deal with it.

    Another reason, that I never used again norton was that it took a lot of space on the computer, when he ran he slowed down the system a lot, and it was very difficult to uninstall. Sounds like a virus right? hehe

  • Within the last week, that all the folders and files on my hard drive were selected 'read only '.

    I unflagged all the folders and files that I share on my home network, however, I am not able to rename them or save them on my PC from my laptop on my wireless network. This has happened since May 12 and I suspect an auto update changed or recover from something.

    Thanks for getting back to me Mick!

    I did a restore to 5/10 when I had no problem, but the problem persisted.

    I'll have to try Norton support. This may be something they did.

    In the meantime, I managed to change the names of files by connecting to the PC with the account of my wife who as co-owner had equal rights and the sign of the laptop is its ID as well so it worked, but it isn't always fair.

  • Fusion on Mac Mini - the new 2014 bicoeur or image refurb 2012?

    After waiting more than two years for Apple to upgrade the Mac Mini, specifically to improve my performance of Fusion, Apple disappointed so I have to ask for advice...

    Background: Domestic use for the most part, only virtual machine running one of the (Win XP, Vista, 7, 8, or Linux). Occasional local development. Need for the long term.

    Yes, it's pretty disappointing, that they do not offer a Mac mini with a Quad-core Intel Core i7 CPU.

    Anyway, while I've been running virtual machines since almost 15 years and in the early days, some systems of bare bones gradually however they run them even if at times slowly.  That said even if, today, I would never buy a system without getting as much as I could, and that means that I would not buy any what with less 16 GB of RAM and a Quad - core Intel Core i7 CPU for use with virtualization even if this can be done on the material of the lessor.  Now, I'm talking to my primary system, that I'd be using every day.
