• Mac Mini (mid-2010) fan running full speed

  I went on the hard drive of a few years for one SSD OEM and the fan runs all the time.  In my view, there is a connector on the card, which has no connection with it.

  I read that this occurs when the thermal sensor is not placed on the new hard drive.

  How many connection should be here soon out of the drive to connect to the map?

  How can I fix?

  TIA

  The original HD had a sensor taped to the road with adhesive tape double faces. You had to move the sensor to the new drive. Without the detector, the fan runs at full speed.

  What ha [[ERA of the sensor on your Mac?

• Bootcamp only gives me the option to install the secondary internal SSD flash disk. Mac Pro mid-2010

  I have a Mac Pro (mid 2010) and spin El Capitan (10.11.5). I have an SSD that I boot OSX of. I have a 4 TB harddrive that store data on. And I just installed a Virgin SSD (same type as my drive OSX) I want to install Windows 8 on. When you run Bootcamp, it only gives me the option to install Windows on my hard drive of 4 TB. He's going right to the start screen of the screen asking me how large, I would like to partition. No SSD is given as an option. The new SSD is shown in disk utility and in the Finder. I tried to format it in FAT, ExFAT, and OS X Extended, but it is not yet appear in bootcamp. I also tried to boot from the installation DVD, but nothing seemed to happen. What should I do?

  If the SSD (s) is not connected directly to the MacPro SATA connectors, you will have problems. Of your SSD are supported on a SATA connection?

• 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.

• Mac mini mid-2011 show AMD radeon 6630 m

  I got a used mac mini. Works fine except; randomly breaks the display.  After countless times of restart, reset, hard reset etc, I found reconnect the HDMI cable kind of fix it.

  The display is Samsung s27d360

  I tried HDMI to HDMI, HDMI-Thunderbolt, VGA to lightning. So far, best seems to be HDMI-HDMI cable.

  I ran a complete test of the material (by pressing D on startup), no problems were detected.

  The monitor works fine with a cable on Macbook air 2012 configuration

  I got this blue screen after reboot before the login screen

  I also had once after the login screen

  I randomly get screen dividing / break in two

  Randomly get the grey screen with vertical bars (no pink or green bars)

  What is the monitor? Cables? (They are not original Apple) Firmware? GPU? I really want to continue to use it.

  I hope that someone had similar problems and was able to simply fix in an update of the firmware or display setting or a cable or something. Help please.

  Thank you

• Adobe Design Mac Mini mid-2007 CC

  Hi, I think of buying a Mac Mini mid-2007 of opportunity (A1176 ver 2.1) with Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 2000 Mhz, 2 GB ram, Os X 10.7 for enter the world Mac ;-)

  I would like to know if I'll be able to run the Adobe's XD, because until now it's still not clear to me if it's a program that I need to install or web application (for example Adobe Story)

  Hardware and software required for installation using the Adobe experience design and running.  -J' found the requirements here, but if it's a web application, there was basically no matter which machine I am runing, isn't it?

  I'd appreciate your comments to clear the situation.

  Best regards

  Hey, thonyk3429212 -.

  Major issues and I am glad that you asked before that you bought! The answer to your question is: no, this isn't quite right.

  Adobe XD has two components to it (so far): a design area native desktop and a web service to share prototypes of sharing. Browsers you see listed in the lower part are for shared prototypes, and the section on top is for the design of office surface. As you can see, the capital requirements are a minimum of 10,10 (Yosemite) with 4 GB of RAM. Therefore, the system you're considering would not enough to run XD.

  Hope that helps!
