Creating external ssd boot drive on mac mini late 2012

I just bought mac mini (i7) late 2012 and have ordered Lacie rugged 120GB ssd. I would like to create the new ssd as a boot disk. I have already installed quite a few applications on hard drive. What should I do in order to create the external boot disk? I have for instance Adobe Photpshop, Adobe Premiere Elements and o course Apple's video and photo editing software. Should I also transfer the applications (and which) to the new SSD and  how should I do it in order to keep activations etc. Detailed instructions are wished, because I am newbie with Mac,

I am not clear why you want to do this, because it sounds to me like you want to make the new drive a complete duplicate of the internal drive. I do not see the point of this. If it is for security reasons, you need only an inexpensive external drive to serve as a Time Machine backup.
However, if that is indeed what you want to do, all you need is a program like Carbon Copy Cloner. Use it to make a copy of the internal drive on the external. CCC will make it bootable.
As far as Adobe activations are concerned, your copies on the same computer will retain their activated status.
Detailed instructions:
1. download CCC
2. connect the external
3. run CCC to duplicate the internal to the external.

  • How do i reformat my hard drive on mac mini late 2011 with yosemite before selling my mac

    how do i reformat my hard drive on mac mini late 2011 with yosemite before selling my mac

    You can't legally sell or give away that computer with Yosemite installed.
    Before you sell or give away your computer, in addition to the steps listed in this support article, take these steps:
    1. Run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test. The buyer will do this (or he should), and you don't want to be surprised by the results.
    2. Reset the PRAM and the SMC, which might contain personal information.
    3. If you set a firmware password, remove it by running Firmware Password Utility in Recovery mode.
    4. If you activated FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, turn it off.
    5. If you use Boot Camp, the partition must be deleted.
    6. If you created any other data partitions on the internal drive, remove them in Disk Utility.
    7. If the machine has an internal hard drive, erase the one remaining data partition with the option to zero out data. An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
    You can't legally or practically transfer any software downloaded from the Mac App Store to the new owner of the machine, even if it was free. That includes OS X, so if you upgraded to OS X 10.7 or later, you must reinstall an older OS, either from the installation media, if applicable, or by starting up in Internet Recovery mode (option-command-R at the startup chime.) If you installed from physical media, deliver those to the new owner.
    If you're selling the machine, or donating it in working order, and it originally shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, then you have the option of installing either from the discs that came with it or from a retail Snow Leopard disc (which you must then transfer to the buyer.) The buyer should understand that if he doesn't get the original discs from you, he won't get the bundled iLife applications or the Apple Hardware Test. Replacements for the original discs can be ordered from Apple.
    The new owner will have to redownload any software that came from the App Store, including OS X upgrades, under his or her Apple ID. If you ever updated the bundled iLife applications (Garage Band, iMovie, and iPhoto) through the App Store, you can't transfer those either. The buyer will have to purchase them.
    Remove the machine from your list of registered products. If it's still covered by an AppleCare Protection Plan, transfer the coverage to the new owner by following the instructions in the AppleCare Terms and Conditions (under the heading "Transfer of Plan.")

  • Help! Can't install SSD in my new Mac Mini Server (2012)

    Previously I've purcahsed Mac Mini servers and removed one of the two drives, replacing it with an OWC SSD. The hardware change was not hard to do and resulted in incredibly good computers for my employees to use which allowed us to retire several old, slow and abandoned-by-Apple Mac Pros. There were no issues with reformatting the computers after they had SSDs put in.
    Today I took delivery of a new Mac Mini server, and started to do the same thing, removing the top HDD and sliding in my SSD, since I have many of them around. Unfortunately, the OS would NOT let me format the disks separately or remove the RAID. The volumes (the original 1 TB that was inside and my 480GB SSD) were both colored red when I booted into Internet Restore mode and ran Disk Util, something I've never seen before, and all it would do was say "there was a problem with your disk, would you like to revert it to a working state?" which in this case means Disk Util forcing my drives back into a RAID whether I want them that way or not. (At one point it fused my SSD and the 1TB drive into a single logical drive that had the correct size but didn't show separate sections, and couldn't be de-RAIDED at all, even when I connected to another computer with the Mac Mini in Firewire target mode.)
    I gave up and put a 240 SSD in the lower bay, resulting in a 760GB RAID of two mismatched SSD sizes, which isn't what I wanted but I guess it will do. So far it seems to be working.
    My question is, why in the heck is Apple forcing me to run my computers as a RAID and/or not letting me break the system into one hard drive and one RAID, which is what I want? (Having the backup disk right inside the computer is very handy.)  Is this some feature to keep us from "making our own" Fusion drives? If Apple is deciding we can't hack or do anything interesting with Mac Minis, this will the last one I purchase, and I'm sure there will be others who do the same.
    Since replacing one HDD with an SDD is likely to be the most popular mode imaginable for Mac Minis, can anyone tell me if they got a similar setup to work, and if so what did you do? Can you post the steps here for others who will be in this situation?

    I'm not sure how or what is different between the Standard 2012 Mac Mini and the 2012 Server...? However it looks like your Server also uses Fusion like or similar to the regular Mac Mini's.
    "The version of Disk Utility that comes with Fusion Drive is unique. Earlier versions of Disk Utility can't be used with a Fusion Drive."

  • Mac mini (late 2012) Windows 8 Pro: no HDMI audio & driver error

    Bootcamp 5.0.1
    Mac mini (late 2012) server, installed boot camp on the second HD and gave entire HD to bootcamp partition.
    Installed Windows 8 Pro from USB key created during installation from iso file, activated with Microsoft. Everything went smoothly, have one issue that I want to share, to see if anyone has been able to resolve. By the way, magic track pad, as expected only have basic functions supported, left and right click, scroll with two fingers, "tap to click" and secondary click with two fingers tap.
    Only one issue so far but pretty major one. Audio through HDMI cable doesn't work, all sound plays via Mac-mini's internal speakers. Windows Device Manager shows error for "High Definition Audio Device" - The device cannot start. (Code 10).

    Well, arguably bootcamp 5.0.1 does support Widows 7 or higher, there no reference anywhere that it doesn't.
    I was able to fix issue by updating driver using intel audio driver. Everything works now...

  • SSD Upgrade Mac Mini (Late 2012)

    I have a Mac Mini (Late 2012) quad i7, 16gb ram, and 1tb HD. I would like to upgrade to an SSD, I currently have a 500GB Samsung Evo ready to install, but read that if you install a third party SSD, Yosemite does not boot. I got the 1TB hard drive replaced yesterday (1/5/15) due to a crash and do not want to suffer from another failure.
    Should I purchase an OEM Apple SSD - found some on eBay 128gb Toshiba for $57-$70/ 256gb Toshiba $240
    reference link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/APPLE-MACBOOK-PRO-13-15-17-OEM-256GB-SSD-SOLID-STATE-LAP TOP-HARD-DRIVE-2-5-/111564891006?pt=US_Solid_State_Drives&hash=item19f9c9237e
    I know with kext signing and TRIM, other SSD's would not be compatible.
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    First of all, Apple knows what was originally in your Mini and if it wasn't an SSD, I doubt they'd cover it, so if replacing the factory HD with anything voids your warranty, that would too. Moreover, it is being sold with an operating system on it which may be in violation of Apple's EULA. On the other hand, depending on which Samsung EVO you have, you probably should read this and this before you decide.

  • Why does my second ssd (on mac mini late 2012) is terribly slow ?

    OS X 10.10.1
    Mac mini (Late 2012)
    2,3 GHz Intel Core i7
    8 Go 1600 MHz DDR3
    Hello,
    I put a second hd (240 Go Crucial CT240). But it doesn't run as nicely as i expected ;
    I tried to install maverick on it, the process was incredibly slow and when i tried  to use, it didn't work
    dual boot didn't work well with difficulties to reboot on the first hd (that is also an ssd  this one work great ).
    I now want to use it for data. Reading and writing on it is so slow.
    I don't understand why ?
    every informations on that topics is welcome

    Here are what it show.

  • Is it possible to Install Windows 8 Pro 64-bit on a secondary hard dive in Mac Mini (Late 2012) using Boot Camp 5?

    Hello,
    I have a Mac Mini (Late 2012) running on OS X 10.8.3 and would like to install Windows 8 Pro on a secondary hard drive using Boot Camp 5. Is that really possible?
    A little background about the topic under discussion.
    1. Mac Mini (Late 2012) has a place holder to accomodate an additional hard drive (2.5") under the hood
    2. If just plugged with one, it would show as an additional volume in the finder
    3. Boot Camp 5 supoprts Windows 8 Pro 64-bit installation
    The idea is to run two operating systems (1. OS X and 2. Windows 8) on two hard drives in a Mac Mini, with maintainability a constraint.
    Have any one tried this out?  If so, kindly share if there are any specific procedures apart form the one given in Boot Camp 5 manual.
    Thanks in advance.
    ~ Narey

    Gotcha!!
    I am done with mounting a secondary HDD (thanks to ifixit) and installing Windows 8 Pro 64 bit on it without a worry. Charm, charm!!
    Boot Camp 5 guide prescribes all needed steps and when read and used correctly, installation must be an easy task. And all the existing apple hardwares work so good in the Windows environment too.
    I am going to help out a friend of mine in doing a similar thing on his mac too. If you got specific questions, please do shoot up here and i should be able to get a reply to it (if at all).
    Thanks everyone.

  • Mac Mini late 2012 with fusion drive running slow and has error code 4dd/11/4000000: sata (1,0) after running diagnostic

    Hi,
    I have a mac mini late 2012 i7 with 16 GB RAM, fusin drive 1.12TB. It became very lagging recently and after doing the first verify disk, I was prompted to reclone using time machine. Anyway I did a full restoration with my image and the problem still persist. And I did a verify disk again and this time it indicates the disk was ok and I even did a permission repair. Problem still persist and I did the PRAM reset and nothing helps.
    I did a fresh mavericks installation. Initially it seems ok but after transfering more data into the system, the lagging seems to comes back. My suspicion was a hard disk failure on the 1tb hard drive.
    Finally I did a diagnostic abd the test has this error code 4dd/11/4000000: sata (1,0) .
    Does this means one of my drive is giving problem? As fusion drives comes with 2 drive I believe. One is 128GB SSD and the other is 1 TB drive.
    My warranty has expired.
    Thanks in advance for any help or advise

    Hi IIIaass,
    Thanks for the reply. I have search on youtube regards to the apple fusion drive. However, I didn't find anything useful. I would like to know if it consists of 2 hard drives or just 1 drive. And if it consists of 2 hard drives, can I buy another ssd and merge the 2 together.
    I do not have the tools right now to open up the mac mini. I have ordered it online and its on the way. If you have any information on this, please share with me.
    Thanks

  • Mac Mini (late 2012) w/ fusion drive - sleep issues

    I am experiencing difficulties with my new Mac Mini (late 2012) w/ fusion drive.
    All of the system preferences are set to NOT SLEEP EVER!
    The screen saver is set to NEVER!
    When I leave the unattended for more than an hor or two it puts itself to sleep and quits all open applications?
    I did ZAP the parameter ram and there was no change?
    Any assistance you can provide will be much appreciated!

    Go to System Preferences->Personal->Security & Privacy and click on the ADVANCED tab in the lower-right corner. (You will probably have to click the AUTHENTICATE lock in the lower-left corner and provide your password first.)
    Un-check the "Log out after X minutes of inactivity" box in the Advanced panel or set X to a large value that isn't likely to get in your way often.

    Are any errors reported when you repair the HD via Disk Utility?
    See the following with regard to using trim in Yosemite with a third-party SSD
    http://www.cindori.org/trim-enabler-and-yosemite/
    Are any firmware updates available for the SSD?
    Since you said it started with install with the SSD that either points to a problem with SSD or there was same corruption with the Yosemite install.
    I would clone the SSD to an external disk and format/erase the SSD and reinstall Yosemite and see if that resolves the problem

  • Mac mini Late 2012 very slow with 10.9.3

  • After 10.8.5 i get a no entry sign on mac mini late 2012

    After doing the10.8.5 update from the ap store i get a no entry sign on mac mini late 2012
    my macbook pro (2011) went ok and the 3 Mac pro towers i have used have gone ok
    a second mac mini did exactly the same from the 10.8.5 combo updater
    a save / format and re-install via target disk mode gives me a no entry sign on boot and booting to the recovery partition does the same.

    Hi everyone I have fixed it !!!!!!
    I had gotten to the stage that the screwdrivers were on the desk and i was ready to remove the hard drive from the mini to lowlevel format it on a "PC" not an easy task on a silver mac mini.
    But............
    I used carbon copy cloner (trial version so free !!!!) as part of the cloning process in 10.8 it asks you to create a recovery partition on the destination drive.
    so I booted in target disk mode whacked ccc on my mac pro and when selecting a clone of the 10.8.5 system from the mac Pro it said the recovery partition on the mac mini hard drive was corupt and re-created it !!
    As if it was magicly re-born my mac mini is now operating as if nothing had ever been wrong!
    Does anyone know if there is an app for repairing the recovery partition? may need it on the other mac that "died" doing the 10.8.5 combo updater.
