• 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...!

  How can I perform a clean installation of Mac OS x for my iMAC, retina 5K late 2014 with drive of Fusion with the intact Recovery HD partition?

  Pure how to install OSX on a Fusion drive and keep the recovery disc function

  These instructions assume that your iMAC partitions or file systems has been damaged and you want to restore to the way most efficiency with fusion drive and the recovery partition, similar to what was built in the factory.

  These instructions work for the iMAC, retina 5K end 2014 version comes with OSX Yosemite. The scores of major drive of the 128 G SSD and 3 TB of HARD drive has been configured as a logical drive (merger by car).

  WARNING: These instructions here are shared for interest only. Readers to take their own risk by following these instructions. The author is not responsible for any damage caused by following these instructions.

  This is the target disk partitions, and the configuration that we want to achieve.

  Disk0 is the 128 GB SSD - solid state drive and holds the start of the partition (disk0s3)

  Disk1 is the 3.0 to HDD - mechanical transmission and holds the Recovery HD partition.

  There are two EFI partitions to partition table GUID on both hard drives (disk0s1, disk1s1).

  Disk space remaining (partition disk0s2 and disk1s2) are used to create the disc of Fusion 3.1 to named "Macintosh HD".

  / dev/disk0 (internal, physical):

  #: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

  0: GUID_partition_scheme * GB 121,3 disk0

  1: disk0s1 EFI EFI 209.7 MB

  2: Apple_CoreStorage GB LVG 121.0 disk0s2

  Logical volume on disk0s2, disk1s2

  0D807F6E-FB7C-418F-AAF4-EF3EA3525D10

  Fusion unencrypted drive

  Here's how we do it.

  • A. clean reinstallation of Mac OS x.
  • 1. make sure that you back up all your data on the hard drive using Time Machine or other means. The following procedure will delete all data.
  • 2. create the OSX install USB, insert it to the MAC workstation.
  • 3. given that us will be operated on the internal trunk of the reader of the Mac, it must start on OSX install USB (see Y.).
  • 4. in the menu at the top of the screen, select disk utilities.
  • 5. turn highlighted the volume of disk Fusion called "Macintosh HD." Click clear to clean.
  • 6. If his success, then go ahead to install OSX new to that partition, as usual.
  • 7. otherwise, if it does not, that means fusion drive has been damaged.
  • 8 follow the instructions below to fix it.
  • . B. Split disc Fusion in the physical hard disks
  • 1. Since us will be operated on the internal drive of the Mac trunk, assumes that we already have boot up OSX install USB drive (see Y.).
  • 2. in the menu at the top of the screen, select utilities and Terminal.
  • 3. on the screen of the terminal type:
  • Cs diskutil list.
  • You will see something similar to the screen below.
  • 4 copy the long string after Logical Volume and replace the UUID with it in the following command to delete the logical volume of the disc fusion (aka coreStorage of logical volume):
  • diskutil deletevolume cs UUID
  • For example:
  • diskutil deletevolume E59B5A99-F8C1-461A-AE54-6EC11B095161 cs
  • 5 copy the long string after the logical volume group and replace the UUID with it in the following command to remove the drive (aka coreStorage) fusion:
  • diskutil cs remove UUID
  • p. ex. diskutil cs remove E03B3F30-6A1B-4DCD-9E14-5E927BC3F5DC
  • 6. at this stage, the fusion drive has been deleted, and hardsisk SSD and mechanical hard drive will be reappear in diskutil or separate records.
  • 7. If step 5 or 6 takes more than 30 minutes to complete, this means that the fusion drive has been corrupted. You can follow the commands below to clear the table to partition the hard way. First command clears the SSD drive, second command erases the HARD drive.
  • The command does not return a response, after 1 minute, press Ctrl + Z to complete orders. 1 minute is enough data to code and erase the partition table on the disk.
  • cat/etc/random >/dev/disk0
  • cat/etc/random >/dev/disk1
  • . C install a new copy of Mac OS x for the hard drive HDD and tested this disk partition hard recovery work.
  • 1. go on diskutil to create a partition called Macintosh HD HDD hard drive using all the space there.
  • 2 do the same with the mechanical hard drive.
  • 3. follow the usual procedure to boot from the installation of OSX USB and install a new copy of Mac OS x hard disk SSD.
  • 4. This will create the correct priming of the partitions, recovery hard drive partitions and PSX partitions hard disk HDD.
  • 5. once the installation is complete, test if OSX may start successfully, but no need to go through the initial MAC OS x didn't put in place that we're going to waste this and do the installation again later.
  • 6. we must now test if the recovery hard drive partition works.
  • 7. reboot for hard drive recovery (see X - by pressing command and R at the same time during boot right after that you hear sound start and release only a few seconds after you see the apple logo and the progress bar for loading...)
  • 8. it is important to test and make sure that the partition of hard drive recovery.
  • D. recreate the fusion drive
  • 1 since us will be operated on the internal trunk of the reader of the Mac, it must start on OSX install USB (see Y.).
  • 2. in the menu at the top of the screen, select utilities and Terminal.
  • 3
  . on the screen of the terminal type:
• diskutil list.
• You should find that we have a list of disk group hard physical volume only, no logic here still.
• 4. you will see something similar to the screen below.
• 5. search for the largest partition on the SSD hard drive, which should be close to the maximum size of HDD to the SSD (121 G, for example) and mark the name of the device, this will usually be something like/dev/disk0s2
• 6. search the largest disk partition mechanical forming fusion with the SSD hard drive. This should be close to the maximum size of the mechanical hard drive (for example 3 TB) hard disk and mark the name of the device, this will usually be something like/dev/disk1s2
• 7
. Now let's create the merger in car (group alias logical volume) in the Terminal, type: diskutil cs create nom_lecteur driveIDs
• The number of the driveIDs is unlimited, it may be a number of discs, or a number of disk partitions. Always put the faster discs first, for example for our SSD disk0s2
• For example:
• diskutil cs create fusiondrive disk0s2 disk1s2
• diskutil - the version of disk utility command line.
  cs - This calls for Core Storage, which is necessary for the merger.
  create - creates a basic storage group.
  nom_lecteur - is the name of the drive and how you want that he
• appear in the disk utility (not the Finder - that comes later). You can call it what you like; in our example, we named our Fusion table "Fusion".

driveIDs - Here is the Player IDs of the readers you want as part of your Fusion table, separated by a space. In our example, they are 'disk0' and 'disk1', but it may be different in your configuration.
• It is important that the faster hard drive appears first in the command, which in our case the disk0s2 (a partition in the SSD). In this way, drive fusion will use this disk as primary and the cache. The second disc in the command, in this case disk1s2 (a partition on the HARD disk). The secondary disk (HARD drive) is used to store less frequently used files.  Otherwise, the fusion drive performance will be worse that it is designed for.
• 8. you will see something like below appear on the screen:
• Creation Volume logical storage of kernel
• Move isk0s2 storage of carrots
• Disk1s2 of switching for the storage of carrots
• Waiting for logical volume group appear
• Discovered the new group of logical volumes 'DBFEB690-107B-4EA6-905B-2971D10F5B53 '.
• Store LVG UUID: DBFEB690-107B-4EA6-905B-2971D10F5B53
• Finished CoreStorage operation
• 9 copy to the bottom of the string after "Discovering new Volume Logic Group" using the command + C
• 10. next, create the partition of the merger (alias logical volume) drive named "Macintosh HD".
• In the Terminal, type: diskutil createVolume groupString jhfs cs + size volumeName
• For example:
• Diskutil createVolume DBFEB690-107B-4EA6-905B-2971D10F5B53 jhfs cs + 'Macintosh HD' 100%
• diskutil - once again, this is the version of disk utility command line.
• cs - called the basic storage functions, which are necessary for this arrangement.
• createVolume - this is the command to create the storage area real for the reader who is represented by an icon on your desktop.
• groupstring - this is the long alphanumeric string you copied in the previous step. It identifies the table you created such as getting a volume placed on it.
• jhfs + -the format of the disc. It is Apple (journaled) extended Format, which is recommended for drives with an operating system installed on it.
• VolumeName - the actual name of the volume, how it should appear under the icon. If there is a space in the name, you must put the full name in quotes ("name") or put a slash before the (name Drive\) space. In our example, we made these, naming our volume "Macintosh HD".
• size : this is the size of the volume. In our example, we had a 1.1 TB drive. We used '1100g' to describe what 1100 GB (1.1 TB to base 10). Otherwise, we could have also used 1.1 T or even 100% as a size.
• 11. go to diskutil to verify that you can see this new partition on the list.
• 12. test by erasing all the data from it.
• 13. then you can go ahead to start on the USB drive to install OSX and install a new copy of Mac OS x on it.
• 14. This will allow you to keep the recovery disk feature.
• X. how Prime to recover partition
• Press and hold the command and button R set immediately after hearing the bells to boot.
• Only release it 2 seconds after you see the Apple logo on the screen and the progress bar for the start. This will start the partition of hard drive recovery.
• Y. how-to boot OSX install USB
• Press and hold the command and the optionkey together immediately after hearing the ringing of boot.
• Only release it 2 seconds after you see the Apple logo on the screen and it will give you a list of startup disk choice, choose the OSX install USB to boot from.

  When you select a drive to use with Time Machine, your Mac automatically prompts you if you need to reformat the drive.

  • If you are using an external drive connected to your Mac, use disk utility to make sure that your backup disk is formatted in HFS + extended (journaled) and is the partition type GUID Partition Table (GPT).
  • If you use a time Capsule, formatting the drive for Time Machine preferences automatically formats the drive as HFS + Extended (respect for case-sensitive, journaled) with a GUID Partition Table (GPT).
