• My Mac Mini (end of 2012) will support a MHL HDMI 4 k monitor?

  Hi all..

  I'm a little confused about two things.  I'm in the market for a new monitor and thought getting a screen of 4K, but I came across 2 questions...

  1 - is my Mac Mini w / 1.5 GB HD4000 support a MHL HDMI monitor? (I know that my current monitor is connected via HDMI and it works fine but "MHL" in the face of the HDMI throws me for some confusion.  My HD4000 graphics card is able to use the display 4K?

  2. If this type of connector would I need to do 4 K monitor work?  A standard HDMI cable would make the case, or do I me some sort of DVI (or something) connection cable?

  All information of someone a little more familiar with it, so I'm would be great because it's what makes my decision to purchase between a nice 144 mhz Full HD 27 "monitor of game and an Ultra 4K 28" monitor.  I'm more concerned about the view regarding the use of photoshop and dreamweaver even more than games, but a combination of the two would be a nice touch.  I know that the first works, but something is lure me in get the screen 4K of supreme graphics in applications like Photoshop.

  Thanks in advance!

  1. the 2012 Mac Mini is not capable of producing at 4 K resolution, unfortunately. It is limited to a maximum of 2560 x 1600 on the Thunderbolt Port / Mini Display Port.

  This means however not she can use the 4 k display, it can, just that it will be at the lower resolution, the mini can produce.  The 4K display can always make things a bit pretty but.

  2. you must use a Mini Display Port to DVI (assuming that the 4 k display has a DVI port) to get the highest possible resolution of her. 2560 x 1600

  Note that HDMI port is limited to 1920 x 1200 pixels

• Mac Mini, end of 2012, down from video signal

  2012 (end) Mac Mini, model A1347, i7 to 2.3 GHz

  OCW mercury Electra 6 G 120 GB SSD

  Factory 1 TB HD

  16 GB of Ram

  S232 Acer

  OS: 10.11.5

  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.

• How can I delete a partition on a Mac Mini (end of 2012)

  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...

• 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.

  Sorry, this post is so long!

• My Mac mini end of 2012 does not start: stuck at the total black screen

  Thus,.

  I tried to install Windows 8 with bootcamp using a USB key. It did not work ("" can not do a new partition on this disk or some * like that "") but this, I'm sure that has not affected my install OS X, I've never been format the Bootcamp partition.

  So, I leave the Windows installation program, reboot and remove the USB key. Now, I get the black screen that OSX shows when it has no OS, giving me the impression that he wiped / corrupted installation.

  Very well...

  But there is a twist. I can not hold option to join the boot device selector, nor can I press CMD + R or retrieve internet. Metal target does not work. I have reset the NVRAM successfully a few times, but it start always black.

  I am using a wired keyboard and mouse. I tried to use external SuperDrive with a CD player. As well as USB. I'm lost and I'm an experienced technician, and I admit that I am an iSheep. Then Yes.

  Thank you.

  (And I didn't get any update of third party other than an SSD, which worked well for centuries)

  EDIT: and I reset the SMC EDIT 2: I know also that this probably isn't a hardware problem, I am positive my OS X install and the OS X recovery partition are corrupt. I don't understand why I can't hold option, and I don't understand why the recovery of the internet does not work when you have no recovery partition. I would be grateful if I could start anything, without having to open my Mac.

  Do you get a startup chime?

  Unplug everything except KB/monitor / power and try to start with the command + R and press the Option key.

  If still problem dismantle the Mac and disconnect the internal disks and try again

• Can I also use RAM from a mac mini in 2012 in an iMac 2010?

  Hello

  I recently updated the RAM in a mac mini 'end 2012' a member of the family of 2 x 4 GB 2 x 8 GB, which means that I now have two spare 4 GB modules.  I also got an iMac 27 "older, (mid-2010), which has 4 x 2 GB RAM modules.

  Can I replace two 2 GB modules in the iMac with two 4 GB of the mac mini modules to increase his performance a bit?  (it is no longer my main machine, but I still use it, and it's not like I'm going to do a lot for the minis ex modules on eBay!)

  Looking at the specifications, the 2010 need PC3-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SDRAM mac 204-pin SO-DIMM, while ex-mac mini modules are PC3-12800 (1600 MHz), 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM.  It seems to me like the mac mini modules can roll at a faster rate as the needs of the iMac, but on the assumption that surpassing the requirements can be a problem, they won't work?   Would be risking damage (to the iMac or modules) if I gave them a try? In other words, what is the worst that can happen?

  Any experience/advice welcome!

  Richard.

  Hard to say, but using RAM that differs from the form is always a gamble. RAM rated faster than necessary can work. You can judge them. If there is a problem, that you will be alerted by the operating system no doubt when you try to start.

  To avoid any problems with the RAM does not. He will not or should not damage the computer.

• 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?

• 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

  -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?

• 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
