I am having terrible lag issues with my 2011 mac mini

Hi,
I am fairly new to the Mac worl. I have had iphones and ipads but this is my first Mac
here are the specs...
Yosemite 10.10.1
2.3ghz intel core i5
16gb 1333 MHz ddr3
intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB
Every time I try to do something I get the pin wheel. whether its copy or paste or clicking on the apple to do anything.
I cannot run Citrix or Webex with out it freezing. Doing any sort of facetime or skype is frustrating.
It isn't my internet speed I am running 90-107 down with 5 up
What can I do? This was supposed to be a beast of a machine to run all I needed for my new job and now I just want to give up and go back to a PC.
Pleas help because I really do like it when it works.

People who are having lag issues with ios7 on ipad mini

the lag issue on ipad mini is just because as it was updated to ios7 the ram availability on free ram has been to <150 mb which is over 220 for ios6 already mini is having very less 500mb so apple techies just work on it and make the ram availability as soon as possible because not only the games like temple run and others but also the interface is lagging.the multitasking is of no use because of it simply minimising one app and opening it within the seconds closing the app running and making it start again .so guys support this thread so that we will get an update asas.

Anyone else having reset loop issues with ipad or ipad mini after IOS 7.02 update ? Based on my research it looks like this release is a total disaster for a lot of users. Locking up phones and ipads. Hopefully 7.03 will fix this mess.

My Ipad mini is in a constant reset loop since 7.02 upgrade. Did a full recover twice to Factory setting thru Itunes. That did not work. Any thoughts on this release and it's implications. Looks like many people are having the same issues.

Hi gruhland,
Thanks for your reply. It sounds like your device is actually in a restart loop, which is different from the process of a soft reset. Specifically, what I wanted you to try is this:
Resetting your device
If your device stops responding, you can reset it by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If resetting does not break the restart loop, it sounds like a different direction may be warranted here. Due to the nature of your issue you may find more assistance by using another one of Apple's support resources:

Take care,

HT4848 I have a Recovery issue with late 2012 Mac Mini

I have a Mac Mini late 2012 purchased last week. I put a Mercury 240GB SSD into the top bay and upped the RAM to 16GB. I then formatted the SSD and used Recovery to install the OS on the SSD. The system performs as expected EXCEPT... when I use the Recovery Disk of either drive I get a message that both the original Drive and the SSD are damaged. If I select either drive it says if I choose Fix it will erase Both drives. Is this because Recovery sees 2 identical OSs on different drives? I had planned on erasing the 1TB 5400 drive that came with the MM but I'm hesitant until I resolve this issue. Any thoughts? Is the Mac Mini operating a "special" OS? I haven't seen this behavior before. Report says it's build OS X 10.8.2 (12C2034). FWIW mylate 2010 MBA and early 2008 iMac have build OS X 10.8.2 (12C60). Is this a possible Bug as I haven't noticed this type of behavior before?

I thought about your dilemma while ASC was down, that's good news your welcome!
I spent some of the time replacing the 320GB 5400rpm HD in my 2010 Mac Mini with a 500GB Hitachi Travelstar 7200rpm HD. Then moved forward by Restoring Mountain Lion onto it from an External HD, instead of Snow Leopard from the original 5400rpm drive. I really prefer to keep my music and photos on the Internal HD and so I couldn't justify the cost of a larger SSD.
So basically I flip flopped and now running Mountain Lion on a larger/slightly faster Internal HD and Snow Leopard from a FireWire External HD when needed.

Issues with brand new mac-mini, NAS, transmission, external HD's

Hi,
I am totally new to mac, got my first mac mini about 2 weeks ago, what a lovely shiny box of joy it seemed at the beginning.
I have the 2GHz model, upgraded to 2GB ram (by the apple store tech's) I have a 250GB 2.5 usb powered drive connected to it to be solely used for Time machine. I also have 2 other 250GB drives, one for Music and one for video.
as the 250GB drives are not so big I bought a 'my book' 500GB firewire WD drive and used the firewire connection to connect this to the mac, at this point it all still seems fine.... Realising that I'm pretty quickly going to have space limitations with these small sizes I bought a 1TB NAS by Lacie, this ethernet disk is connected only to the router (thompson speedtouch) and I've setup the automatic login so I can see a desktop icon for the open share.
Applications which are installed are media-link (to use to link to PS3) quicksilver (nice little utility), transmission and the ethernet agent installed for the lacie NAS drive.
in the last week, its like I cannot make transfers to the Lacie, 130GB was to take 25 hours, but would dip out after a couple, yes I set the computer to not sleep, connection dips out even still.
Transmission has crashed a couple of times, when pointing to foder on the NAS, the app could take up to 2 minutes to load and all transfers were stuck on paused, resume wouldnt work, then crash, restart, verify local data, start, dip out, crash.... and on and on.....
Anyone have similar gear working well? or same gear working in the same faulty way?
Please help and be gentle, I'm only new

oh...something more to add, when I had transmission setup to write directly to the NAS, it would write to a folder called 'incomplete'
Now I have removed any transmission transfers and reassigned the folders transmission shouild point to as being the WD mybook on firewire, it seems to be working so far and application not as slow as wioth the NAS, however the NAS will not let me delete this junk folder full of 'incomplete' files.
so the biggest issue it seems I am facing is with the NAS.
thanks.

How do I use an HDMI switch to my TV as a display with the 2011 Mac Mini?

AppleTV, PS3, DirecTV all work with the switch but the Mac Mini gives no picture or sound.

What TV and what type of input does it support...?
For an HDMI compatible TV, you'll need a > Moshi Mini DP to HDMI Adapter with Audio Support - Apple Store (U.S.) plugged into the Thunderbolt/Mini Display port and a good HDMI cable.
For other types of connections and connection methods, please specify the connection that your TV supports.

Will Any Usb DVD-RW drive work with the 2011 Mac mini?

I am considering buying a USB DVD-RW drive, and i wanted to hear from people with first hand experience of USB dvd drive support for Mac's I'm looking for a DVD-RW DL drive, so It can burn DVD DL CD's normal DVD's RW's etc. Things a modern superdrive would do esentially.
I have checked and i personaly think the Official apple one will hit my bank too hard, not to mention it doesn't bother me what It looks like
Can anyone recommend any Drives that work?(It will also be used on My PC and Macbook with a broken superdrive)
I was looking around the £15-£25 price range
I was allso wondering if a USB to Sata with a Sata DVD drive will work? As from what i can see nobody has tried it!
Any help will be appriciated.
Thanks, Scott.

How do I install OSX Lion that shipped with my 2011 Mac Mini onto my 2011 Macbook Pro

Reading the documentation for OSX Lion suggests that it is a multi-device lisence OS and that it should appear in my App Store as purchased Apps, but I don't see it.

If you purchased Lion through the App Store it should appear there and be downloadable / installable on all of your compatible Macs, this is the only way to install it on all of your Macs as far as I am aware. It is just £25 so not a big deal to purchase, but I would wait for Mountain Lion now. I don't think the pre-installed Mac OS appears as a purchase in the App Store, though it would be nice if it did as technically you purchased the licence for it when you purchased your Mac (though perhaps a slightly different licence?)

SERIOUS lag issues with Intel iMac

Hello everyone,
I'm pretty frustrated right now. I've been having this serious lag issue with my new iMac for the past few days. I think it may have started after I ran the last security update.
What happens:
When switching between apps, the system will hang for 1-3 seconds between doing anything. This includes typing, mouse requests, etc. It's VERY frustrating. I have activity monitor open currently, and I am seeing both Safari and SystemUIServer hogging up the CPU resources like CRAZY. I've even seen Safari recently give a CPU usage of 120%, right before I loaded this webpage. tis isn't just centralized to Safari too.... I have the following apps running:
Adium 0.89.1
FoireFox 1.5.0.8
Safari
Activity Monitor
My Memory stats currently are:
175MB Wired
708MB Active
618MB Inactive
1.47GB Used
There should be no reason I'm getting these lags with just two web browsers and a chat client open.
Has anyone else expierenced the lags?? Any suggestions? I'm almost ready to reinstall OS X and not run the last security update. Thanks

Hello Matthew
Are you running any maintenance scripts on a regular basis?
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/maintscripts.html
I would manually run this script from The X Lab, and my load times would improve greatly. The problem was, I would forget to run them untill I noticed web pages loading slow or iTunes and iPhoto taking for ever. It wasn't untill someone here in discussions suggested Anacron that I saw the light. WOW what a difference Anacron has been making in my overall system speed. My iMac has not been shutdown for 11days 5hrs 34mins (sleep or use only) and opening new App's, switching App's and web pages load as fast or faster than after a fresh start up. If your system is operating properly and you are having only what seems to be a slow or sluggish issue Anacron will make a difference.

I am having some serious issues with firefox, i can't print anything because it is stuck on fax and I can't use any of the drop down menus on any site

I am having some serious issues with firefox to the point of choosing another search engine. I can't print anything because it is stuck on fax and won't let me change it to my printer when i do try to select my printer it jumps right back to fax. The drop down menus do not work on any of the sites I go to. For example when purchasing clothes and you have to choose a size from a drop down menu I can't do it when I click on the drop down menu it doesn't work at all. I don't have a virus I ran my virus protector and no viruses are present. I don't have any suspicious issues going on with my computer so there has to be something in Firefox that is causing my issues. I tried internet explorer and I don't have any issues there. I hope you can help me because I love Firefox and would really like to continue to use it.

Lots of issues there, main one getting fcpx going again, try deleting the preferences using the utility deveoped by these guys.

I'm having a billing issue with my apple id. I got my first iPhone today and I've signe din etc however before i can download any apps etc i need to resolve an old payment apparently. The problem is i cant enter my new card details because no longer in US

I'm having a billing issue with my apple id. I got my first iPhone today and I've signe din etc however before i can download any apps etc i need to resolve an old payment apparently. The problem is i cant enter my new card details because the issue is registered to when i was in America and i require to pay the funds from an American source. Any ideas how i can resolve this? It wont accept my new card detail as im back in the UK. I think i have posted this in the wrong area but anyone got any ideas?
I have managed to change the rest of my accoutn being registered to the UK i think except this

Hi..
You can email Apple for help but the link is for the iTunes store not the Mac App Store. You've inadvertently poasted in the Using Mac App Store forum but that's ok. Billing issues are the same for the iTunes Store.
Click here > Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us
It wont accept my new card detail as im back in the UK
Your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

Since I've installed Mountain Lion, I am having lock up issues with multiple programs. MS Outlook has crashed and I've lost all my folders. HELP?

Since I've installed Mountain Lion, I am having lock up issues with multiple programs. MS Outlook has crashed and I've lost all my folders. HELP?

okay I've finally been able to get tor and all the other programs to work according to my plan the only thing that's still making problems is that iptables doesn't work as I want it to, when I start chromium without proxy settings privoxy doesn't seem to forward the information to polipo.. do I need to add another rule to iptables.rules in order for the program to know it has to reroute the information again or how can I get this to work? and is there any way to run rtorrent with proxy support?
anyway, problem 2 and 3 are still to be solved.
and does anybody know where i can get a good dansguardian blacklist that was not designed for 6 year old children and for which I don't need to subscribe? I'm still getting these partypoker popups -.-
//e: with iptables it's the same thing as described in the first post. https works, http doesnt. I get the output "Invalid header received from client." on http sites. still no idea why though.. (and the https-version of torcheck.xenubite says i'm tor unprotected while starting the browser with iptables)
