• What Mac Mini for use with Adobe CC?

  Hello

  I thought about getting a Mac Mini to use with a Wacom Cintiq Display(either 22HD or 27QHD) and I was wondering what would be best for the execution of the Adobe programs.

  It seems that most of the people prefer the 2012 Mac mini with the quad core as opposed to the current gen using two hearts.

  This brings me to two questions:

  I see a huge difference between the quad core and dual core in the adobe programs?

  8 GB RAM is enough or should I opt for 16 GB?

  Otherwise, the mac mini may be a poor choice for what I would do, so any feedback is appreciated!

  Thank you!

  What Adobe suggest to their CC minimum specifications in OS X, it

  should not be necessary to buy a quad-core (they say that it would use all the cores).

  A set of Photoshop CC system requirements suggest higher specs than one

  Another help page for Adobe. This page shows the highest specifications, but can

  not reflect the version that you are considering:

  •Photoshop CC 2015.x system requirements and languages

  https://helpx.Adobe.com/Photoshop/system-requirements.html

  If for some reason you happen across a 2012 end i7 2.3 or 2.6 GHz quad with

  two 1 TB hard drives, they would be more easily upgraded to run an SSD and

  keep a rotating disc; or install two SSDs. between that and 16 GB of RAM, these

  should do a quick little computer. Rotational hard drives are the bottleneck.

  But probably not necessary for Adobe photoshop CC. The graphics processor

  is a limitation if you use intense graphic applications. GPU shares

  standard memory with the system; From memory, there is little or no dedicated graphics.

  Although I have a Late 2012 Mac Mini i7 2.3 GHz quad-core (server) with double 1 TB

  5400 RPM hard drive and RAM upgraded to 16 GB total rotation. It can

  Use at least one drive upgraded to 7200 rpm or SSD drive more efficient.

  The Mac Mini which is online store (check to see if there is an official refurb)

  in the middle to upper technical version may be OK. The top level because of the upgrade

  options in the configuration page (select to buy it, then see what options exist)

  might be OK. The lower spec Mini doesn't seem to be viable for serious users.

  New versions available now, because, you choose the configuration when

  you order the computer: you buy an upgrade level you think you might need.

  Memory is affixed, then exercise your ESP skills to look ahead, before buying.

  The new Mac Mini 'top model' has better graphics than model end 2012.

  An advantage for the Mini is you can choose monitors, peripherals, etc. An old

  new stock Mini would have some OS X who was active as a base level.

  Since none of these units have a system backup media. Is online recovery there.

  My Mini comes with the Mavericks 10.9; 10.9.5 functioning properly. Partitioned,

  the discs could dualboot mulitple systems and their applications more recent specifications.

  (You can pay like nine awards for the end of 2012 Mini i7 quad, used clean-shaped).

  I had considered to be a non - retina MacBook Pro 13 inch 2.5 GHz for once.

  It was the time when they were more common in the 'special offers' Apple

  refurb store page online at decent price; then buy RAM upgrade later.

  In any case, this has become a long rant a few detours or details were

  omitted for the sake of clear path back to the main topic. Since I was late

  2012, mac Mini and it's more of the half upgraded for most all that he can do

  I would probably say try a. If you can find a new one at a fair cost.

  If the cost is too high, you can get a new Mac Mini to higher specification

  the Apple Store. They are dual-core. Adobe applications do not seem to need

  the advantage of the use of quad-core processors or. (these run virtual cores, too;)

  so if you have the appropriate application, the quad core turn eight - virtual.)

  The option AppleCare extended warranty covers to buy new equipment.

  It would have supplied with El Capitan, if the current new stock. This fall, there may be macOS

  Sierra - if you happen to get that stock again - at the end of the year. Not sure

  If or when the hardware upgrade version configurations may appear.

  Anyway, it's more a kind of letter. Sorry about that...!

• Mac mini missing disk

  My mac mini works well except the disk hard is not recognized in finder. It accepts a disc when I have a pop and whirs for a couple of goes away and then it spits out. The usual restart, unplug the power cord and resets for PVRAM SRC etc. is completed but still no disk drive. DVD player box open when a disc is inserted is very well. Open disk utility and first aid, supplemented by a check mark Green everything in order.

• '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.

• Cannot put the Mac mini mid-2011 to sleep

  My mac mini (mid 2011, 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5) stopped going to sleep a few days ago. Neither Finder, command line or the energy settings are able to put it to sleep. SMC and NVRAM reset did not help, even reinstall 10.11.4 does not solve the problem. No hardware connected except for the screen and the keyboard. In fact, the display goes to sleep, but the mac mini stay awake... Also tried to wait some time for her to go to sleep, but nothing happens.

  Here is the console log after that I tried to put it to sleep, waited a moment and reconnected. Any interpretation help is very appreciated!

• Mac mini el capitan "sleep next failure experienced a problem.

  I just bought a new mac mini with El Capitan installed, I transferred all my software and back up files on the old Mac mini via a time machine. Since then I've been finding this message once the computer has been idle: "sleep next failure experienced a problem.

• I upgraded to MacOS Sierra recently, since then, my Mac Mini needs to strat befor 5 times actually implemented, why?

  Mac Mini (mid-2011), 2.5 GHz mid-range Core i5, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, 256 GB Solid State Drive Storage

  10.12 MacOS

  I upgraded to MacOS Sierra recently, since then, my Mac Mini must start 5 times before it actually starts.

  It starts and restarts in the middle of the boot process, 4 times.

  Why?

  I have experienced a similar curiosity, but often with messing around on a Linux partition. I do not have a definitive answer for you, but check on this thread (MacBook Pro will restart several times during the boot process) and maybe here further (oots http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/88213/how-to-find-cause-of-repeated-reb)

  I hope this helps!

• Mac Mini (El Capitan) play region 2 DVD?

  I would buy the version 2 of the region of Attenborough, "life on Earth." Then my Mac Mini El Capitan race play these DVDs?

  Assuming that you are in the USA (region 1), you will be asked to change the code of area on your disk before it will play. When you place a disc in region 1, you will be asked again to set the region code of the drive. You can do this five times. Wherever the road is located on the fifth change, where it will be permanently.

• Since I downloaded El Capitan I get a notice of entry of device of 'Santa Barbara School District' saying that they can automatically configure my Mac!... I don't want that at all

  Since I downloaded El Capitan I get a notice of entry of device of 'Santa Barbara School District' saying that they can automatically configure my Mac!... I don't want that at all!... It appears every 30 minutes or so... El Capitan is safe?

  The computer has a serial number which is included in a registration of devices belonging to an organization. If you do not belong to this organization and that you didn't acquire the device with him, then there was an error or the device (or the logic board) is stolen. If the unit was purchased used, for example on Ebay, or if the card has been replaced by an unauthorized service provider, then it is almost certainly stolen goods. Otherwise, you must take the device to an Apple Store or to an other authorized service provider to have serial number has changed. May asked you proof of ownership.

  Comply with the requirements for El Capitan if I have a Mac Mini MTN. Lion and 2 GB of memory running with a 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo and 1.07 GHz and 3 MB of L2 Cache bus speed? Recommend - install you more memory and if so, why?

  1. Yes.

  2. Yes. Any newer version of Mac OS X 10.6.8 is likely to be sluggish on only 2 GB of RAM.
