• 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.

• 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 click OK, the message disappears and everything seems to work, with the exception of the isight camera that I use a security system at home running on the imac.

• 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!

• Best hard drive Mac Mini for CC

  I get my grandson a Mac Mini to run CC and I would like to comment on the choice of hard drive. It will be a high school sophomore in the fall, taking the Junior trail class multi media and use Photoshop and the Prime Minister a little.

  I'm looking at: Mac Mini

  • 2.3 GHz Quad - Core Intel Core i7
  • 16GB

  Now, if you had your choice what drive would you and why. I take into consideration price, speed and scratch on the disc and want to get the best bang for the buck. I am considering the SSD for speed and then perhaps down the road I might add an external for Scratch disk space. I have not use CC but was prepress for many years and has spent a lot of time in Photoshop myself so I know he has a lot to learn and wants to maintain its level of frustration to a minimum. Any thoughts?

• Drive external hard (connected to the Mac mini USB) disconnect during use

  I have a 3 TB (WD green) hard drive in an external hard drive enclosure "miniStack MAX Media", connected to my Late 2012 Mac mini via USB.

  I don't know when he started to do this, but I recently noticed that it was dismantling even when she was in use; the error was:

  Disc eject does not correctly
  EJECT 3 ' TB' before you unplug or turn off.

  I replaced the USB cable and saw the same mistakes.

  I moved the HARD drive to a different box. same mistakes.

  I swapped the HARD drive to a whole new WD 4TB blue; same mistakes.

  So now I have a new drive in a new case with a new cable, and I see the same messages "Disk not ejected correctly".

  (By the way the disk utility has shown that the two discs were fine when I ran first aid.)

  This brings me to assume that the problem is with my Mac mini, which runs at El Capitan and is fully aware of the updates of the operating system.

  Recommendations on next steps to investigate and resolve this problem?

  It seems that your external draws too much power. That shows the report of your system? You have an external power supply for external drive? Have you tried to use all the USB ports on your Mac?

• Cloning my Mac Mini to a smaller SSD drive

  I have a Mac Mini end-2011. Inside is a 'spinning' hard drive 500 GB. I also have a Samsung SSD 128 GB 850 vacuum EVO. I would use disk utility on these video instructions to transfer all the data from the original HD of the SSD.

  All instructions have been followed and that the whole system works very well, except the error at the end until the copying/cloning actually starts. During its installation phase, once launched, the disk utility application tells me that there is an error related to the size of the source drive that can not be copied in the targeted SSD.

  While I realize that the size IS an issue, the content of my original HD is limited to 29 GB. So copy everything should be easy, and I thought it would be handled by the app.

  SO: can I shrink the partition size of the original HD in the same size as the target SSD? It would work properly? If Yes, where can I find instructions to do this?

  Alternatively, did I miss an option somewhere in my set up the restore function? There is an option somewhere that I may have missed?

  (More in detail: when you select the source for restore partition, I chose the WHOLE - not the partition drive included.) This is maybe what is causing the problem? If I had chosen the included score only, this would work immediately and disk utility would have taken into account the size of the empty space, would have narrowed it down as a result of automatic way?)

  If you use the restoredisk utility, your Destination drive (128 GB SSD) must be the same size as your Source (500 GB) drive or equal size. I don't have not divide a disk HARD grand in separate partitions, then try to do the restore. You can try this if you want.

  So, you're the best alternative in my view is to initiate your HD Recovery from the HARD disk and reinstall OS X El Capitan on your SSD. During the installation, and then migrate your user accounts, applications, data, the parameters of your 500 GB drive.

  You can also use Carbon Copy clone or SuperDuper! to clone your disk to your SSD assuming that your HARD drive will not fill to the top of your SSD during cloning. Then, you always have to reinstall OS X El Capitan to write your Recovery HD on the SSD.

• Mac Mini does not recognize external hard drive

  Hello!

  I have a weird question on my Mac Mini. I have two Seagate to 8 external drives connected via USB to my Mac Mini (mid-2011 with Maverics). The discs worked well, but suddenly one of them will not be recognized by the Mac Mini.

  I connected the hard drive of my MacBook Pro and an old PC and it works fine and all files are available, but for some reason, my Mac Mini will have nothing to do with her anymore.

  It does not appear in the finder or disk utility. I unplugged the hard drive for hours and then tried to plug it back without a bit of luck. I restarted the Mac Mini on several occasions. I also tried to connect it to all the USB ports on the Mac Mini. When I connect it to the USB ports, there is no whisper sound indicating that it has started working. However, no sign of it on the Mac Mini.

  It's like the Mac Mini has decided to ignore the external hard drive, no matter what I do. Seeing this works on other devices, I'm fairly certain that the problem lies in the Mac Mini.

  I'm no expert, so any help will be very valuable for me. And if you are kind to help, please explain it to me like I'm 8 or 93 years old.

  Thank you.

  Are these drives powered independently or they depend on USB power?

• Mac Mini loses the connection to the internal hard drive

  Hello

  I got in trouble once per day or almost one year that my Mini mac interrupts the communication with the hard drive. You can work away and all of a sudden all gel applications. Say, you happen to have a terminal open, if you try to execute commands in / sbin as stop or something like that, it is to say that you don't have access to the files with an error like this:

  bash: / sbin/shutdown: device not configured

  Finally the Terminal Server session freezes as well.

  I used the Apple Diagnostics for all the materials and it test verifies all very well. I bought and installed a copy of TechTools Pro (v8.0.3 build 1967) and he reported no problem whatsoever with everything. To be on the safe side, I replaced the memory, still no luck.

  I've lived a lot of system updates and none of them seem to have solved the problem. I am currently on OS X El Capitan v10.11.5 Beta (15F18c). Yes I know it's beta, but this problem before any release of El Capitan.

  The most reliable way to reduce the appearance of it during my work day is a reboot planned each night. For one reason or another, which reduces the frequency.

  I am at a loss on how to fix this and would appreciate any advice.

  Material is a Mac mini (end of 2012), the processor is an Intel Core i5 2.5 GHz, is now 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 memory, graphic is Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB, storage is a 500.11 SATA GB Apple drive ST500LM012 HARD drive

  Thanks in advance.

  Maybe a bad connection tight to the HD. It could be the end of the water which connects to the system board. I had similar symptoms on my Mini 2012 and it is in this regard.  Like you if I stop and then after awhile restarted, it would be OK for a while.

  It could also be a problem with the HD

• Since going to El Capitan, my Mac Mini makes me want to cry

  Operating system: OS x El Capitan 10.11.3 (15 d 21)

  Hardware: Mac mini (end of 2012), 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Intel HD 4000 1536 MB graphics card

  Experience: the worst!

  Since El Capitan installation my Mac has become a nightmare. EACH click generates a spinning beachball. Adobe products are DRAGGING. I mean, come on-do-a-"sandwich" - slow to load. Connection to the Internet - WAIT.

  And now, since installing the 10.11.3 patch, my mouse Logitech M570 clever is bug (even after installing the latest drivers!).

  My daily work has slowed to a crawl, and I'm afraid to do on the computer every day. Back to Yosemite is out because there is no Time Machine backup.

  Thank you, Apple!

  It is not for lack of Apple.

  Try these in order to test your system after each see if it is back to normal:

  1. a. reset the PRAM and NVRAM on your Mac.

  b. Macs with Intel processors: reset of the controller (SMC) system management

  2. restart the computer in Safe Mode, and then restart again, normally. If this does not help, then:

  HD recovery start: restart the computer and after the buzzer, press on and press and hold the

  COMMAND and R keys until it appears the Utilities menu screen.

  3 fix the hard disk and permissions: select startup drive in the Utilities menu utility. Fix the hard drive and the permissions as follows.

      When the recovery menu appears, select disk utility and press the continue button. After loading disk utility select it

      back from Macintosh HD entry of the list on the left.  Click first aid button in the toolbar. Wait for the operation

      ends, then quit disk utility and back to the main menu.

  4 reinstall OS X: restart from HD recovery Select reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, then click on the continue button.

  Note : You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest to use Ethernet if possible because it's three times faster than wireless.

  
  

• External Drive Icon does not display desktop Mac Mini

  I have a Mac Mini with two connected external drives (2 Tera) and (3 Tera). Yesterday, Tera 2 icon disappeared and when I restarted the icon for Tera 3 missing but the 2 tear icon showed. Now when I restart now that one or the other icon. I tried different ports of switching them but get the same thing.

  They both show as attached and working in my disk utility and "about this Mac" and storage devices.

  I have the "external Drives" checked in the Finder preferences also.

  How can I fix?

• Mac Mini with os x Lion, said El Capitan partition Boot Camp Windows 7 has lost

  I have a Mid 2011 Mac Mini with os x Lion as my main OS.  I had installed Windows 7 to be started using Boot Camp.  Everything worked perfectly until I added El Capitan under a new partition.   Now, as soon as the boot, there is no option of Boot Camp; There are only Lion and El Capitan options to begin.  However, BOOTCAMP and Win7 files/folders appear in the Finder.

  After reading similar cases here in the support forums, it seems that this may be repairable.  (fingers crossed)  Oh, and FYI, I'm a total beginner when using in the Terminal environment.
