Mavericks on my late 2013 Mac Mini (8gb RAM) does not recognize my APC650CI UPS as a UPS
I have a late 2013 model Mac Mini running Macvericks.
I just bought a an APC Back-UPS XS 650CI for it (I have 3 other Back-UPS 650CI for other systems - Windows 7 and 2x Netgear NAS setups).
In the Energy Saver panel of System Preferences the Back-UPS 650CI is not recognized, but it IS correctly listed in the USB section of System Profiler.
I have tried other UPS monitor programs: PowerSave UPS does NOT recognize it, but apscupsd DOES recognize it.
The Netgear ReadyNAs DOES recognize the new unit (I tried swapping the two Back-UPS XS 650CI's around)
I have reset the UPS - still not recognized.
I have tried on of the other Back-UPS XS 650CI's that I have around - not recocognised.
I have reset the Mac's Pram - still not recognized
I have reset the Mac's SMC - still not recognized
I have reset the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist - still not recognized
My ancient Macmini1.1/Intel Core Duo DOES recognize the Back-UPS 650CI in the Energy Saver panel of System Preferences.
Thanks for your help
Andrew
Answering myself
Had long conversations with APC/Schneider (quite helpful once you get past the drones)
They weren't aware of the problem but it does seem that Apple have removed/omitted the code that used to recognize the APC Back-UPS XS650CI at some point after Snow Leopard - Lord knows why. This despite the fact that it is correctly listed in the USB section of System Profiler.
The only solutions that I can see is either for APC/Schneider to get Apple to reinstate the relevant code (unlikely) and/or for APC/Schneider to issue an updated version of PowerChute for Mac (long overdue), which is possible but don't hold your breath.
I bought the (rather expensive) PowerSaveUPS app from the Apple Store but that doesn't work either (http://www.powersaveups.co.uk/) - I've emailed them to grumble but no reply yet.
In the meantime best bet is to use apcupsd for Mac - it isn't ideal but it works - RTFM.
The latest iteration is available on http://sourceforge.net/projects/apcupsd/files/osx-binaries%20-%20Stable/3.14.11/
Cheers!

I am trying to copy photos from an iPad to a Mac Air, but iPhoto does not recognize them. Please forgive the ignorance, but we have just started moving to apple products and I know nothing about them. Do you have to use PhotoStream to do this?
How did the photos that you want to copy off get on the iPad ? To copy photos to your computer that were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page - on a Mac you should be able to use iPhoto, Aperture or Image Capture
To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app on your iPad such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer. -

I just purchased Apple USB SuperDrive and connected to my Mac mini late 2012 USB slot but nothing shows up on the screen.
I have OS X versus 10.10.3The system bus and all connected products should appear in the system profile or in the
hardware part of About this Mac (more info) and if that does not, restart the computer with
the external Apple USB SuperDrive plugged in. •As a last resort, if nothing else, before a
return trip to be rid of the SuperDrive, you could try a system management controller reset.
The SMC reset is not a first choice, so I won't post a link to the support instruction page.
A new Apple USB SuperDrive should be seen as hardware in system information report.
Of course, an icon of disc media should appear once the disc is inserted into the drive, too.
Good luck & happy computing! -
My Mac Mini (2009 version) does not let me boot from another device
I can see the other devices fine, it is just when I select any one the system keeps trying to boot and I get nothing. I can stop the retry process and choose my Mac hard drive ok. Of special note is I have recently discovered that my DVD drive does not function (not sure if this is relevant).
As Squiggle wrote, the external drive was definitely bootable. It was a clean installation of Leopard (retail package) on an empty drive. I tested it on my own mini before going over. It did not boot on his mini. The drive was visible. It mounted properly. It was visible, and selectable, in the "Startup Disk" system preference. The mini went into an endless reboot cycle. The only way to interrupt the cycle was to hold down the option key and select the internal drive (yes, the external drive was listed at this point as well).
After giving up on that approach we tried TDM, using the retail Leopard DVD in the DVD drive in my PowerBook. Again, the drive was visible, and selectable. The same reboot cycle occurred, and the same method had to be used to break the cycle.
Yes, I zapped PRAM (not that I expected it to do anything).
The DVD drive in the mini appears to have problems, but will that prevent booting from any device other than the internal drive?
I'm stumped. -
07' Mac Mini 4GB Ram Upgrade Not Working.
I have a 2007 Mac Mini (Intel Core 2 Duo) which runs slow with 1GB ram. I purchased two 2GB sticks of ram and replaced the two stock ram sticks previously making 1GB ram - But my Mac Mini will not boot with 4GB ram in it. I tried taking one stick out, leaving one 2GB stick in with no luck, and so I have no other ideas. I was told that this would be no problem, and I installed it all correctly following every procedure necessary.
Can anyone help me?Komputerbay ram is sketchy at best, and another user here:http://forums.macrumors.com had the same experience you are having with that memory, the Mac will not even boot.
The memory for Macs has to be very precise, 5300/5400 is not acceptable as a rule. It must be straight 5300. If you can, return the memory modules and buy some guaranteed to work with your Mac. Go to OWC, http://www.macsales.com or Crucial, http://www.crucial.com who guarantee their memory to work or your money back. -
2013 Mac Pro DisplayPort Monitor does not wake from Sleep.
On my 2013 MP I have dual monitors:
One connected DVI-to-MiniDisplayPort a ViewSonic 24"
Second connected DisplayPort-to-MiniDisplayPort a MonoPrice 27" 2560x1440
When the computer comes out of Sleep or Off the 27" display does not come out of Sleep Mode.
If I unplug and replug the MiniDisplayPort connection from the MP the Display will turn on correctly.
Never had this issue with the 24" both monitors go into a sleep/hibernate mode(yellow power light on displays) when the computer turns off or goes to sleep.
When the computer comes out of sleep the 27" backlight turns on briefly but then goes back into sleep mode.
Troubleshooting: PRAM Reset and alternative ports on the MacPro with no luck.
Any thoughts??

Mac OSX 10.8 does not recognize HP LaserJet Pro M1213nf MFP
This is probably an obsolete system support problem.
This LaserJet Pro M1213nf is an old product from HP that I just recently (~3 months) purchased from a vendor as new. The MFP system is flawless and except for the occasional scanner tilt in grabbing the sheet from the automatic document feeder, works perfectly.
Unfortunately, when I bought it, I used an old Macbook with Snow Leopard to test it. Worked beautifully. I recently purchased a new Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion, and it does not work with that. This Macbook is going to be my primary system from now on.
Googling this problem has convinced me that neither HP nor Apple intend to support this, at least not anytime soon. Updating drivers from the store has not helped. In fact, each time it has happened, I have had to uninstall the new driver, and install the old Lion version of the drivers (see below).
Current status:
1. It prints without a problem. It copies too, but I don't really use that a lot.
2. It scans but only with the HP Scan application bundled with the Lion version of the driver. (which was the last major version where this was supported)
3. Image Capture, Preview, etc. do not work with this and the OS does not even recognize the scanner.
I installed sane-backends to work around the problem but I have not really invested a great deal of time into it and that did not help.
My question is - how do I hack it to work with my Mountain Lion install natively? I use Linux regularly, and have absolutely no issues compiling software, tinkering with things, using open source software, etc. My understanding is that Mountain Lion has changed the interface for scanners and that new interface is not available for older scanners.
Why do I need this to work? Well, I scan a lot of documents and there are some AppleScripts I want to use to do some standard post scan processing to reduce PDF size. The native HP scan application that comes with the drivers is an irritating piece of crap that wastes my time everytime I need to do something.
And I am not going to throw out a perfectly good MFP just because Apple and HP want to generate some undeserved profits off me. Good hardware always trumps artificial commercial software choices for this engineer.Just saw your reply. I am not sure what you are suggesting.
I have the following in my Mac Harddrive/Library/Image Capture/Devices folder:
Canon IJScanner2
Canon IJScanner4
EPSON Scanner
HP M1130_M1210 Scanner
However, the icon for the last mentioned is different. It does not have the Image Capture icon. It simply has the generic application icon (two white papers with an "A" formed out of a ruler, a pencil and a brush). I doubt that the icon makes a difference, but it is what I observe.
The permissions for the first three and the last are identical.
The file sizes for all the files are in the same size range (except for EPSON, which is much bigger).
I should reiterate that I am using the Lion version drivers on Mavericks (just upgraded from Mountain Lion yesterday). Those are the newest drivers for this MFP. -

Late 2012 Mac mini upgrade ssd - also install parallels 8 and windows 7
Late 2012 Mac mini (16gb memory) SSD install - samsung 840 pro 512 gb. I am looking to install this new SSD as possibly a dual drive setup almong with the stock HDD 500gb in order to: make the system faster (with more storage etc.), possibly use the stock drive as a backup drive and I also want to run parallels 8 with windows 7.
I have ordered the data doubler kit from Owc and am wondering exactly how to setup properly. Can I simply install new drive in the upper bay (and move stock drive to lower bay)? Then migrate the data from the stock drive then after that's complete run the setup for parallels? I am also confused as far as using trim enabler or not? I was also wondering how much space/memory is recommended for windows 7 partition?
-Thanks in advance for your suggestionsNOTE: A small number of 2012 units were shipped with the drive mounted in the upper drive bay rather than the more typical lower bay shown in this video. If you have a 2012 or later model, you will want to determine the configuration of your Mac mini's drives prior to ordering. To do this, open Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app and click on the grey drive icon at the left-edge of the window. If you see "Lower" after the "Connection ID" at the bottom-left corner of the window, you may proceed using the standard installation instructions. If you see "Upper" then you have a special configuration which will need additional components, and you will need to also refer to the Addendum video.
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/DIYIMM11D2/
Some users have reported problems with an SSD being the boot drive in the upper bay. They have not reported problems with a HD boot from either bay To avoid the problem I would move the HD (if it is in the lower bay) to the upper bay and install the SSD in the lower bay.
I allocated 64 GB for Win 7 in Parallels abd 4 GB Of 16 installed). You can change them later after you install so it is not that importent what you specify initially.
For TRIM see:
