I have a late 2011 mac mini. When I power it on, it won't start up. The wheel just spins and spins. I tried Safe Mode, and it still won't start up. I bought the computer new a month ago. It came with Lion installed. Ideas?

I press the power button and the chime sounds. The screen goes gray and the wheel begins to spin. This just continues. It won't finish starting up. I have tried to start up in Safe Mode with the same result. It doesn't recognize my external dvd drive, so I can't test the Hard Drive with drive genius or disk warrior. I'm at a loss what to do. I don't want to dive to Ann Arbor (30 miles) and have the geniuses look at me funny for not knowing the simple solution....assuming there is one.

Disconnect your HD and any other devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod, etc...) and boot up into the Startup Manager holding the Option key.
Startup Manager: How to select a startup volume
Now try selecting the Macintosh HD, then if nothing happens go to the Lion Recovery Disk and follow the instructions for Repairing or Restoring Lion from your Backup.

Will reinstalling Yosemite on Late 2011 Mac Mini iCore5 4GB DDR3 help improve performance?

I have a late 2011 Mac Mini with icore5 and DDR3 4GB RAM.
To me performance was extremely good with Lion and Mountain Lion. I did love Lion though.
Mavericks improved the performance I did miss on Mountain Lion. But with Yosemite I feel I made a blunder.
My machine doesn't have the capacity to do App Nap effectively, or may be absent.
What happens most of the time is that Safari works extremely fast however all of my system apps behave bizzardly slow.
I thought it could be after initial install and waited for nearly 3 months for the OS to speedup on its own but it lags terribly.
I dont have problems playing iTunes, Safari, facetime and other live meeting apps.
I suspected my harddrive and tested it but that was working fine.
I now only think of reinstalling the OS believing it would speed up. Or should I do a clean install please let me know.

When I view my ipohotos on my macair that have been uploaded from my iphone, sometimes my compute just shuts down. It is when I have the iphoto open. I'm not sure which version this is...I bought the computer about four months ago.

And maybe you don't talk to too many people but I've been on many forums on different websites where people have had similar problems and a lot of people in the store were having battery problems where they were draining too fast. What I learned is that all the people who did not download the updates are good. There phone is working the same. The people who have, they're having battery problems
I have downloaded every update and my battery life is better than any previous iPhone I have ever owned. I see posts from hundreds of people every day, and this is not a commonly reported problem. While there are a few random reports of battery problems, it is no more than I have seen for any other model or any other version of iOS in almost 8 years. Usually problems of rapid battery drain can be traced to bad apps (FaceBook is the worst offender) or corrupt data being synced from iCloud or other sources (gmail, Windows Live, Yahoo, etc).
The simple test is to restore the phone as New. Do not create any email accounts. Do not install any apps. Do not enable FaceTime or iMessage. Do not enable Twitter or any other social networking app. Use it for a day and check the battery usage. You will find that it is working well.
And also see this: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain. It is the best treatise I have seen on the subject of battery usage.

I'm having trouble with installing a 8g kit in my late 2009 mac mini. when the parts are installed all i get is a beeping sound, is there any way to get around this?

i'm having trouble with installing a 8g kit in my late 2009 mac mini. when the parts are installed all i get is a beeping sound, is there any way to get around this?

What is the source & link to this 8 GB kit please?
Can you count the beeps or flashes?
1 beep = no RAM installed
2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
3 beeps = no good banks
4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
5 beeps = processor is not usable
In addition to the beeps, on some computers the power LED will flash a corresponding number of times plus one. The LED will repeat the sequence after approximately a 5-second pause. The tones are only played once.
Note: In this case, a flash is considered to be 1/4 second or 250 ms or greater in length.

I have a late 2012 mac mini with an i5 2 core can I replace it with an i7 quad core?

I have a late 2012 mac mini with an i5 2 core can I replace it with an i7 quad core?

A few places online may still offer the i7 2.3GHz quad-core Late 2012 MINI (Oct 2012 to Oct 2014)
that allows the user-upgrade of RAM to 16GB, and this one I've seen is a Server model and has
two 1-TB Hard Disk Drives. The B&H store in NY online has this listed, if in stock now, price &
shipping in continental US is good until tomorrow.
Your i5 dual-core is still desirable to many, & you may be able to resell it if not needed.
Good luck & happy computing!

I bought a MBPro which came with Lion installed,i also wanted to have a copy of installation disc so i used mac app store.Normally if an app is already bought there is a warning or a sign that informs the buyer.I've charged for this download is it normal?

Hi ,i bought a MacBookPro which came with Lion installed on it (i have registered my mac book pro right after i bought it), i also wanted to have a copy of the installation disc in case of a crash, so i used mac app store to get it.Normally if an app is already bought (for iphone app store) there is a warning or a sign that informs the buyer, than the app store lets the buyer to re-download/re-install the app.I've charged for this download afterwards, because i was using virtual credit card, there was not enough money transferred to that card during that download but the app store let me download it anyway. I haven't charged before the download, the app store first let me to download it then it requested that amount of money for next download wich it was a free app. Can anybody enlight me? thanks

Hi ...
i also wanted to have a copy of the installation disc in case of a crash
If you have problems with your Mac you use Lion Recovery
However, you can create your own installation disc > How to create an OS X Lion installation disc | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews
Since Lion came pre installed on your Mac, the App Store doesn't not recognize that as a purchase so you if you want to re download Lion to create a boot disk you will have to pay for it. You can then re download Lion on all your authorized Macs for free.

I have a Late 2011 Mac Book Pro 17" and I want to install a Samsung 840 EV 2.5 1TB. What accessories if any do I need?

I have a Late 2011 Mac Book Pro 17" and I want to install a Samsung 840 EV 2.5 1TB. What accessories if any do I need? I want to place my order once with all that is needed to install this equipment.

No you don't. All currently available commercial hard drives and SSDs have the same SATA connectors in the exact same place.
As to being plug and play that is up to interpretation. The drive will plug into the cable but then you have to partition and format the drive for the Mac OS X operating system and then install OS X on it or restore from a Time Machine backup or Clone from your original drive to the SSD. Those things aren't necessarily Plug & Play. Not hard, just time consuming. Some more than the others.

Bought a new Apple Macbook Air. it came with Lion. Why?

Hi there,
i just bought a new MBA from an official Apple Reseller in Greece. Although they advertise that the MBA comes with Mountain Lion preinstalled, my MBA came with Lion... Why? could anyone explain this to me? When i asked an guy at the store he did not have an idea... of course he did not came with a solution as well... How do i claim a reddem if that

I was trying all morning to get in communication with the Apple Support tel no in Greece without a resunl. Kept on getting ''wrong number'' message... So i tried to come up with a solution with the Official Apple Reseller from where i bought my MBA. At first when i described my situation to the first employee, he was staring at me like i was from another galaxy... so i asked for the director manager... He showed up eventuallly. When i spoked with him he told my how sorry he was, and that there was no way to check the version of osx preinstalled on MBA's. So he offered me an iTunes gift card of 30 euros(2 of 15 euros each) to download ML myself from the Mac Appstore. So everything turned out perfect for me...
Happy Apple customer...

Late 2011 Mac Mini slow video refresh on Yosemite

I was rather happily running Mavericks, but decided why not on the upgrade to Yosemite after rough testing on my MBA, but after installation video performance has been awful on my Mini. Mission control has an awful framerate during it's animation, and when using (ImageJ) drawing/refreshing an open image windows is painstakingly slow. Below is the output from Etrecheck and Linc's script. I do not have similar issues on my MBA, and I did not have this issue on Mavericks.

I went all the way down to 720p (the lowest I could take it) with scaling and it didn't really help. The weird thing is that when I play something in Steam the GPU is fine, but using Mission control with a lot of windows open, or opening a lot of windows really bogs it down (which it didn't do a week ago in Mavericks). My feeling is that it is a poorly written graphic driver and that my issues with imageJ are because it is using the driver in a way that is failing like it is in Finder/Mission Control, and in Steam it's getting to the hardware in its own way. I've sent feedback to Apple about it.

I have a late 2011 mac book pro and I'm wondering if it uses SATA II or SATA III for the hard drive? Which eventually I'm going to replace with a SSD.

I was wondering if the late 2011 macbook pro uses SATA II or SATA III for the hard drive. The reseason I'm asking this is because some day I'm going to replace the Hard drive for a SSD drive down the road and would like to use all the performance of the SATA controler.

SATA III.

I recently tried updating my iMac, now when I power up it keeps telling me to restart the computer. How can I fix this on my own?

I tride installing updates for my iMac, and now when I try to turn it on it just comes up with a small window that tells me to turn off, then back on the computer. Is there a way I can fix this on my own?

Do you have any backups of your system prior to do those updates? If so revert them out. Or reinstall the system from your recovery partition.
The reason for this is those updates clobbered a log of people:
Thunderbolt Software Update 1.2 Causes Boot Failures
Thunderbolt Update plaguing MacBook Pros with kernel panics
So the only solution is to get them out of there and the only way to do that is revert your system.

HT201343 I am having trouble getting mirroring my Mac Book Pro with my Apple TV. I have a late 2011 Mac Book.

I am looking for some advise on how to mirror my Mac Book Pro to my TV. I have purchased an Apple TV

I would disagree to the extent that it is dependent upon the network. If the network is reliable then airplay won't be an issue.
I used to think the same thing, but even with an all wired network I run into contant problems with mirroring and AirPlay. Audio drops out, or randomly starts to become garbled. Video just freezes. I can run loaded ping tests while it is happening and get 1.0 - 3.0 mil second response times the enitre time with no packet loss and AirPlay will still drop out or hang, lag.

I bought my computer about a month ago and as soon as I turn it on, the fan starts blowing loudly and it heats up a lot. Is there anything I can do to stop this?

It's not even a month old, but as soon as I turn it on, the fan turns right on and my computer sounds like it is going to explode. It also gets very warm. Any ideas?

check to see what you have loading in your login items. delete the ones you don't need.
open activity monitor, and under all processes, see what's using most of your cpu resources. highlight the ones using the highest % cpu and hit quit process.
see if the sorts it out for you.

Late 2012 Mac Mini display goes to black for a few seconds at random intervals

I have a late 2012 Mac Mini, Ivy Bridge, connected to a 24" Samsung LCD dsplay,using the HDMI to DVI video cable that came with the Mac Mini. At random times when I am doing something or browsing the web, the screen will go totally black and then revert to the proper display. This Mac Mini is connected to a 2 port KVM, however I never see this behavior when the KVM is switched over to the PC. Has anyone else seen this behavior?

Welcome to the family. Search this forum for the main thread for this problem titled: "mac mini 2012 video blinking out".

Programs repeatedly crashing on my late 2012 Mac Mini Fusion Drive

I have a late 2012 Mac Mini Fusion Drive 2.6ghz, 16gig RAM running Mac OSX 10.9.4 . For the past week or so I have had a number of programs - both Apple and third party apps crash repeatedly, I have repaired permissions and restarted numerous times but nothing seems to fix it. For example Mail would crash each time I cancelled a password being accepted by Mail in a particular account, Safari has crashed for various reasons. Apple Motion has also crashed more times in the past day or so than it ever has in the past year. It's crashing when I try to add a point or node to a line in an animation I'm finishing.
Does anybody have any idea why this is happening now and does anybody know how to fix it?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

I have a late 2011 mac mini. When I power it on, it won't start up. The wheel just spins and spins. I tried Safe Mode, and it still won't start up. I bought the computer new a month ago. It came with Lion installed. Ideas?
