Reinstall of OSX on Mac Mini end ' 09

Hello

My problem is, I have a Mac Mini end ' 09 (2, 53ghy, 4 GB ram) and I installed an SSD with OSX Lion mountain. Because I forgot my credentials, I can not connect anymore. I wanted to install or reset any OSX mac.

I tried some things, but none of this worked for me:

-Mountain lion is no longer available

-Leopard snow DVD or USB install does not work (no sign)

-El Capitan on the app store can not be used as a startup disk

-Recovery Disk Wizard Apple work to start the installation of the el capitan, but say that it takes 105 hours of work that seems unreal

Did someone had an idea of what else I could try?

Thank you

Michael

-If El Capitan is intact, but you forgot PS admin and there does not use file Vault encryption then reset admin PW:

-If you have another Mac, you can do an installer USB bootable from the download section of the Mac App store purchases using the following.

Then boot from that USB medial and install El Capitan.

-If you want to install earlier than El Capitan, you must first format/erase the startup disk

-What do you mean by "Disk Recovery Wizard.

-Blackmail the ban when you boot the DVD SL? IS this a DVD retail? Or is he entered with another Mac model?

  • 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:

    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!

  • AirDrop does not work between Mac mini end of 2014 and 6 s iPhone more

    Hello!

    I'm here for the first time. A little more last year, I bought a Mac mini end of 2014 with Core i5 clocked at 2.6 GHz, 8 GB RAM and 5400 RPM HARD drive. I replaced the HDD for an SSD, Samsung EVO 850 250 GB, to be correct. I also have an iPhone 6 Plus and does not AirDrop between my devices. They discover each other. Update both OS X and iOS on a regular basis, so that's not the problem. Check on this issue and finding a solution a have met this Airdrop is not my Mac mini 2012 and I have a few questions:

    I checked that TRIM Enabler Coulon, but later on my Mac I searched this Samsung EVO can't GARNISH. What it means? Download and install TRIM Enabler would be unnecessary, because the problem isn't here? Everything is fine with the Bluetooth, WiFi, my 6s more connects to the other MacBook Pro Retina early 2015, as the new MacBook 12 "iPads and iPhones, too. Please help me, thank you in advance.

    10.10.4 and later Apple does not allow that you caraa select TRIM and third part SSD. See:

    http://osxdaily.com/2015/10/29/use-trimforce-trim-SSD-Mac-OS-x/

    Can yo test to see if AirDrop works among other devices?

    like the iPhone with another device iOS or Mac or Mac with another Mac or iOS device?

  • 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...

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

  • Mac Mini end of 2014 vs SSD Ram

    Hey guys, I just bought the Mac Mini end of 2014. Maybe I should blame myself for not doing some research that I have a model end of 2012 before that. I used to increase the ram myself whenever I need it, it was easy-peasy. So I bought the 2014 version, thinking that it will be the same. But no, the ram is welded on and there is no way that I can upgrade. The mac was bought to an APR, his return is not possible according to the policy of the store.

    I understand that if the RAM is not enough, the operating system will use hard disk space instead. So what I intend is to upgrade the HDD to the SSD, I have made the my previous Mac Mini. Just so that it allows to speed up the process and minimize the crash.

    Question, this will help solve the problem of ram? Nor can do anything and that's it?

    Yes a SSD will improve performance, and partially make up for not enough RAM. However, how well that depends on what applications run you. Some applications are memory intensive and may not show as much improvement

  • Use of very high ram of the Mac mini end of 2012 after startup

    Hello my name is Ogi.Recently I have problem with my mac mini 2012.I end had a problem starting, so I used the startup, says apple. This problem has been resolved.

  • Upgrade hard drive Mac Mini end of 2012.

    I7 clocked at 2.6 ghz 16 GB ram...

    Fusion car again, noted that, once 128 GB ssd was that full, there was no real advantage to the merger. I decided (possible foolishly) to do an upgrade.

    Installed 500 GB Samsung evo 850 ssd, wd 1 TB of storage. (no merge)

    Set up own of El Capitan with bootable USB drive. Everything is good so far except noticed mini heater, exhaust fan works not!

    take off cover, plug verified, it was well set, leading fan and he continued running.

    Everything seemed so finished installation and got replacement as precautionary measure fan and equipped.

    More than three weeks a couple of other strange events, two or three times at the start, progress bar would get to halfway, empty display outside and nothing more occur. Force shutdown, reboot and everything ok again.

    The fan has stopped when the mini went to sleep once or twice, reboot has solved sometimes. Reset the PRAM again.

    Over the past three days several times, fan stopped at startup, reset the SMC seems to fix the problem. All connectors are good. I have followed with Imenus and more recently THPro, when the fan stops it is reported to be clocked at 650 RPM!

    I searched this problem, a person finds that remove the original drive on mac mini stopped fan altogether, substituting the original 'apple drive"and and the fan works fine! that makes no sense to me, but the Samsung in car that belonged the 128 GB ssd my original merger was coded firmware to it was "Apple."

    The Evo 850 does not report temperature through the chip, I don't see that this would lead to good questions?

    Don't know where I'm going with this, I could replace the original 'Apple readers' and see what is going on, at least I could forget a possible crude oil on a fire. Should I reinstall and do a fusion drive (can't see that it would make a difference)

    I took everything public static precautions, taken my time replace the disks and it went smoothly without a hitch...

    If anyone can suggest anything, I would be very grateful.

    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?
