    Mac mini 2009 Mavericks won't boot. Chimes and power light comes on. USB ports have power. Blank display no logo,etc. Tried all keyboard boot functions, no help. Replaced RAM w/known good. No help. Removed HD and mounted in external enclosure and ran permissions and repair. No help. Upgraded HD to Yosemite and was able to boot another mini from HD mounted in external enclosure, reinstalled HD still no boot. Any ideas on how to proceed appreciated.

    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. You have a hardware problem.

  • No audio after latest security update on mac mini

    it seems that my audio out from my mac mini into my tv stopped working after i updated the last security install. is anyone else having this problem?

    I have the same problem.  Yes, a restart brings back the HDMI audio (the internal speaker was always working too), but it only lasts until it goes to sleep for a long period...usually overnight...then same no audio issue.  I took it in to an Apple store and after 2 days they told me "no hardware issues".  No kidding, hardware problems are rarely solved by a restart!!!  Some software update is causing this...and Apple needs to fix it!!

  • Mac Mini Early 2009 Won't Boot After Mavericks Update

    I had Mavericks installed on my Mac for a while now and recently, it did a software update... Since then, I rebooted the system when it asked me to and it has not been able to boot up since then. It reaches the Apple Screen, tries to load the OS and my Mac shuts off Completely...
    I recently upgraded the Hard Drive on the system, so I am currently using my old hard drive running OS X 10.5.8... I plugged in my Hard Drive that has OS X Mavericks on it and I tried to verify the disk. When I do so in Disk Utility, I get this message:
    I went on a couple of websites where people had this same issue, and I followed the instructions where someone said to open Disk Utility, select the Partition and Press "CMD + i". I got the name of my drive from Disk Identifier. I opened Terminal and typed in "sudo /sbin/fsck_hfs -yprf /dev/disk1s2"
    It ran the code and this is the output...

    After all of that was done, I am now able to go back to Disk Utility and Completely Verify My Disk.
    What should my next step be? Should I try booting to Mavericks from that hard drive or should I try to Repair the Disk?

    I upgraded to Mavericks, and had a "grey screen of death" when re-booting for the first time.  Re-setting the PRAM fixed it for me.  Worth a try:

  • Deleted everything off my Mac mini now it won't let me download OS X

    After not using my Mac mini in a number of years I decided to reboot to factory default. I followed instructions to do this however I must've done something wrong. When I am in disk utilities and trying to create a new partition it won't let me. Error code 61 pops up. So I tried to by pass this and download OS X snow leopard anyway but when I go to do that it says that it can't be installed on a disk with MS-DOS (FAT32) format. I'm stuck. My computer won't run.

    If it is an Intel Mac Mini, you will need to set the Partition Map Scheme to "GUID Partition Table" and Format it Mac OS Extended (Journaled). If it is a PPC Mac Mini, you will need to set the Partition Map Scheme to "Apple Partition Map" and Format it Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    Then reinstall the OS X on your Install Disc and Update it.
    1. Boot from your install DVD or Bootable Clone and open Disk Utility.
    2. Highlight the HDD in the list of drives and select the Partition tab.
    3. Under Volume Scheme select 1 Partition and click on the Options... button.
    4. Select GUID Partition Table in the drop down window and click OK.
    5. Set the Format to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and click the Apply button.
    6. Once that is done, then you can do a clean Install from your Install Disc.

  • After 10.6 security update 2013-002 PGP encrypted disk won't boot

    I ran the latest security update on my very old 17" intel MacBook Pro (It won't boot, so I can't give you the model number). It has PGP encryption installed on it, but I only have my passphrase, not the keys since it's a managed system.  Half way through the install, it failed with a cryptic error, and the machine won't boot now. It gets half way through booting, and the screen goes black.
    I have booted into single user mode, and ran fsck and applejack, only to get an error about a sibling error, and the hard disk is full.
    Is this a PGP issue? Does the latest security update conflict with PGP?
    I found this resolution to a similar sounding problem in 2010, but am unsure if this is happening now. Google searching hasn't yeilded anything so far.
    http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20101111120329585
    Thanks for any help.

    About PGP I can't tell; the hint you linked (and the suggested fix) might still be valid:
    PGP recommends folks to decrypt their drives first, update to 10.6.5 and then re-encrypt.
    this sounds as a general recommendation.
    However fsck reported a sibling error (an invalid link sibling error I presume) and that's not fine. Afaik, Disk Utility can't fix it; DiskWarrior hopefully will. I quote from Alsoft Support Database:
    Question
    Is DiskWarrior capable of repairing an "Invalid Sibling Link" error?
    Answer
    This is an error you definitely don't want. It indicates that parts of your directory, and therefore some of your files and folders, are inaccessible.
    Mac OS Standard (HFS) and Mac OS Extended (HFS Plus) disk directories have a very complex structure. Each file or folder (item) on a disk has an entry in the disk's directory. These entries are in order of enclosing folder and then item name. This is similar to a yellow pages directory being ordered by type of business and then business name. Just like a yellow pages directory, the disk directory has pages except that its pages are called nodes. Unlike the yellow pages, nodes are dynamic and change as you add and delete items. It's sort of like a realtime yellow pages.
    Imagine that the pages of the yellow pages are not in order and at the bottom of each page it says "Continued on page n," where n is the page that contains the next set of listings for the particular type of business that you're looking up. Well nodes are not arranged in order and each node has a reference, or link, to the next node that contains the next set of ordered items. This link is what is referred to as the sibling link.
    A sibling link error is a bad link to another node. Either the link refers to the wrong node or it refers to an invalid node. As I said, a sibling link error makes some of your items inaccessible and can even prevent a disk from mounting. Sibling errors are notoriously difficult for some of the patching type of disk repair utilities to repair. Sometimes the repairs fail and the directory is damaged further. If a disk with a sibling link error is still mountable, I would advise backing up the accessible files and folders on the disk before attempting to repair it with that type of disk repair utility.
    I'm not really sure DiskWarrior will work on a PGP encrypted disk. According to a few old Google matches, it should. See e.g.:
    http://kb.mit.edu/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=4263350
    but according to more recent ones, it won't:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2719460?start=0&tstart=0
    It seems you're out of luck even with Safe Boot (from PGP Whole Disk Encryption Command Line User's Guide):
    The Mac OS X Safe Boot feature does not work on a boot disk that has been whole disk encrypted; if you hold down the Shift key to enter Safe Boot, the system will fail to boot after authenticating at the PGP BootGuard screen.
    So, while you're waiting for some more knowledgeable advice, you might backup your data to an external drive while booted in single user mode. There are many how-tos out there; I think this one is pretty clear:

  • Mac Mini Late 2012 won't boot running OS X Server Mountain Lion

    My Late 2012 Mac Mini with OS X Server ML is running perfectly - but when I reboot it from the menu's "restart" command, it just shuts down, then restarts showing the spinning wheel forever.
    The configuration is:
    Mac Mini running OSX Server ML
    Disk Utility says OK
    Update is 100% OK
    Connected stuff:
    - usb 2TB Seagate disk
    - wired LAN
    There's no connected keyboard, mouse, or monitor - running it remotely from nearby iMac
    I have tried all combinations wheen booting up.
    I even reinstalled OS X Server from scratch. No luck.
    Only resolution (that works once) is to restore everything using Time Machine. Then it runs fine until power off...
    So now I ask:
    Why does this happen?
    Could it be shutting down/restarting remotely that causes this?

    Open console in Applications>Utilities, check the system log for the date/time of the last problem  & the Startup right after that for clues.
    Or maybe try a Verbose boot... CMD+v

  • Mac mini mid 2011 won't boot

    This morning I found my Mac mini mid 2011 frozen. I shut it down by holding the power button.
    Now it does not boot. When I turn it on I don't hear the usual chime sound or any other beeps. I can hear the hard drive powering on and the fan starts to work at full speed. Nothing appears on the monitor. No output signal at all.
    I have tried disconnecting all cables, press power button for five seconds and the. Try to boot again. No luck...
    Any ideas?? I loads of work to do and I am loosing hope. No apple stores in Greece to take it in...

    I've tried everything including SMC rreset. No luck.
    One other clue is that if try to boot up without Ram installed, it recognizes that ram is missing and beeps  
    so to summarize the symptoms:
    1. Computer has power
    2. No chime sound or any other beep when I power the computer on
    3. Fan works at full speed
    4. No output display signal
    5. I can hear the hard drive powering on
    6. The computer recognizes if you try to boot it without ram and beeps

  • Intel Mac Mini from 2006 won't boot up!  Shuts off by itself.

    I stuck a copy of Snow Leopard into my computer to upgrade it before realizing that there were certain things I hadn't thought to back up before I did. I tried to exit the install process by selecting the appropriate start up disc and then restarted. It took forever and ultimately just shut down. I turned the computer back on and it kept taking me to the os install screen until eventually it started shutting itself off before I even got there. I finally got the disc out of the mini by holding down the mouse button as it turned on, but I still can't get it to boot up into the usual os. When i turn it on, I get a blank screen, eventually an apple with the round symbol that something's loading and then eventually it shuts off before I get anywhere.
    Can someone PLEASE help me? It was a dumb mistake, but I really need to get back into my computer. I reset the PRAM, but that didn't make a difference. Thank you in advance if anyone has any advice.

    If you have the 10.6.3 disk you're in luck.
    All you do is pop it in the DVD drive, hold down the 'C' key and reboot.
    You'll have to reinstall the OS (it'll probably note that a newer version exists, and ask you if you want to overwrite it. Say 'yes'), then after installation is finished immediately do Software Update to get the system up to 10.6.8. This can be lengthy if you do it through the 'Software Update' utility. A shortcut is to download the 'combo' update here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1399
    Just to be clear: you have to reinstall from the DVD BEFORE you try and download and run that combo update.
    Once that's done, you should be good.
    As a piece of general advice, never trash a system file and THEN try to update. You update with the file in place. Normally, just hitting 'software update' will do it. If you have a specific file that you think needs replacing, acquire the file first, then move it into place before rebooting.
    Finally, never do anything like you did if you haven't got a backup. Use Carbon Copy Cloner to keep a regular clone of your entire internal HD. It would have taken you 5 minutes to boot into a clone and get the file off it that you trashed and saved you a whole load of headache!

  • I bought this MAC from a family member. Did everything need to change items to my apple id. Today I did the update for IOS Yosemite now the app store is auto filling with someone else id?? But they seem to be my apps??

    If you didn’t erase the drive and install using you AppleID, then the OS and the purchased apps are still registered to the other AppleID. You cannot change that by logging into iCloud. Apps are forever tied to the AppleID used to purchase/download them.
    You have to erase the drive and download/install the Apps using your AppleID.
