  • ITunes Freezes my Mac Mini - Power Cycle Required

    Hi,
    If I leave my Mac unattended for long periods of time with iTunes open (whether playing music (it helps negate my tinitus) or not), my machine becomes completely frozen and needs to be powered down. If I leave it without iTunes open, it does not freeze.
    So I'm depserately looking for a solution. I've tried repairing the permissions, re-installing iTunes, removing screensavers and changing my power settings but nothing seems to have made a difference. There are no logs reporting problems either.
    Does anybody have any idea what I can do to remedy this? There are no other problems with my computer (none that I am aware of).
    Most of my music is on an external USB drive (MP3 brought over from Windows) and the rest is on my main personal folder. I have about 20Gb free on my main system drive.
    Thanks in advance

    I think the newest iTunes is a bit buggy. I have those complete system freezes if I start some movies one after another for testing purposes. All goes well unti film 3 or 4 and then the whole MBP stalls. Only help - reboot.
    Another thing: every movie or TV show stalls after a certain time for some moments and jumps forward some seconds. After that stall, all runs OK, only some seconds later a short stuttering is noticeable.
    I have a very large audio library on a external drive as primary drive. I leave the movies on another external drive w(o copying to the primary drive. So I just think, iTunes is stretched to its limit and has memory problems. The iPod classic 160 had those in the first weeks after its appearance, too. Lots of people with large libraries exchanged their iPods w/o effect. I was patient and now at least that works fine.

  • Intel Based Mac Mini - Power Issues and Resetting SMS

    Hello all.
    My company has 15 Mac Minis driving LCD displays. The MACs are running MS Vista Basic and operate 24 hours a day except when they reboot (in the early monring). We have a sporadic issue in that we find the Mac powered off even though we have a power backup and the display is still on. Moreover, in order to turn the Mac back on, we need to unplug the power cord from the back of the Mac and then it will turn back on. I recently uncovered that this actually resets the SMS:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303446
    My question is do these shave a firmware update for the SMS (the systems were puchased in late 2006; don't know how to get the SMS version number from Vista). If so, is there a way to update the SMS firmware with only Vista installed (Apple firmwares usuaslly use the Mac OS Updater)? Finally, what casues the SMS to malfunctino and need to be reset? Could it be the power backups not regulating the voltage to the Mac?
    Thanks fo your help,
    Kevin

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Just to be clear, you're concerned about the "SMC" (System Management Controller), not "SMS", right? The subject of your topic may confuse some folks.
    There was an SMC update for the "early 2006" model Mac minis (see here), but it sounds like you have the later 2006 models. What is the processor speed of the Mac minis? If they could use the update, you'll need to start them up into Mac OS X to install it. This could be done with a FireWire or USB 2.0 hard drive and would not affect the software currently installed on them.

  • Mac Mini sound output and superdrive stop working randomly

    Every once in a while the sound stops working and when I check the sound preferences it says no output devices are connected, even when I've got stuff plugged in. Doesn't recognize the built in speaker either. This has been happening for a while, but the most recent time I had tried to read a DVD and it wouldn't show up, and wouldn't come out of the drive when I hit the eject key. System Profiler wasn't recognizing the drive either. I fixed all this by shutting down and disconnecting all the cords from the back, as has worked for the sound problems before, but this doesn't seem to fix it permanantly. The sound problems seem to have started when I installed a security update a week or 2 ago, not sure about the superdrive problems. Anybody got any ideas?

    I am having this same problem. It just started this morning (August 19th). No sound was coming out and the headphone jack in the back was lit up red. When I plugged the headphones in, sound came out of there. I unplugged them and sound came out of the computer as usual...but only for a minute or so, then the same problem. Nothing works in changing preferences either. Has anyone had any luck with this problem?

  • Mac Mini Core Duo and 23" Cinema Display: video graphics performance

    I know the Mac Mini Core Duo and the 23" Cinema Display are compatible but can anybody tell me if one can expect better graphics performance when using a 20" display or does it not make any difference?

    Thanks Dan but maybe I didn't make myself clear. What I'm interested in is whether or not one can expect a noticeable difference in video graphics performance between a 20" Cinema Display and a 23" Cinema Display, when connected to a Mac Mini Core Duo.

  • I have an iPod touch and an iPad4. iTunes lets me work with the iPod Touch but won't show me what's on the iPad. Any ideas?

    I have an iPod Touch and an iPad4. iTunes recognises both items and lets me work with the iPod Touch but won't work with the iPad. In fact iTunes does not respond to clicking on anything in the iPad window even though it knows that it's connected. Any ideas?

    Look her and it may give insite on what is missing. Otherwise:
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99. Likely not worth it for a your iPod. They do not fix yours.

  • ITunes crashed now Mac mini wont power back on

    iTunes crashed now Mac mini wont power back on

    You have not provided any information on which to base troubleshooting. Minimal information would include the Model Mac mini you have for example Mid 2010 Mac mini, exactly what happened when iTunes crashed, and what -- if anything -- happens when you try to restart. It is unlikely iTunes has anything to do with the failure to reboot but instead iTunes crashed because of what even caused your Man mini to fail.
    Just as a starting point, be sure and check all your connections, power, monitor, keyboard, mouse, everything. You would not be the first to have a plug come adrift unexpectedly.

  • Can i upgrade to 10.5 on mac mini power pc 1.4ghz

    can i upgrade to 10.5 on mac mini power pc 1.4ghz   I'm at 10.4.11 and nothing works anymore ?

    Hi James, yes you can.
    Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
        *  Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
    minimum system requirements
        * 512MB of memory (I say 1.5GB for PPC at least, 2-3GB minimum for IntelMacs)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    Classic/OS9 Apps no longer supported.
    Trouble is Apple no longer sells it, check eBay & such for the Retail version, not the Gray Discs...
    http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=mac+os+x+leopard+retail+10.5
    But if it's a better Browser you need, then...
    TenFourFox is the most up to date browser for our PPCs, they even have G4 & G5 optimized versions...
    http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
    I'd avoid version 24 though, as it no longer supports plug-ins like Flash.
    http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/downloads/list
    SeaMonkey seems pretty fast also, with many options...
    http://www.seamonkey-project.org/
    http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/
    The last version with Mac OS 10.4 and PPC support was SeaMonkey 2.0.14.
    The last version seamonkey-for-ppc - 2.26 RELEASE - Mac OS X 10.5.x - PPC.

  • Problem with sound in rented itunes series on mac mini (2010) hdmi

    Hello,
    I just bought the new mac mini with HDMI. It is connected via HDMI to my receiver Denon AVR 3310. The receiver shows that it has "multi channel in" on the display.
    I made all the configurations so that i can watch dvd an the mac mini. When i play a movie with Dolby Digital the receiver does show that on the display and playback is possible without any problems. All my 5.1 speakers play sound.
    The big problem is with iTunes. When I want to watch rented series from iTunes Store, for example Dr. House, only 2 speakers of my 5.1 are used. And when I change to surround in iTunes I can only hear static noise.
    What is the problem? What is wrong with iTunes?
    Thanks in advance

    I am having the same issue.
    I have a Panasonic TH-50PX60U, and a Yamaha RX-V2065. The Mini is plugged into the Yamaha via HDMI and Yamaha to TV via HDMI.
    Problem: Just to clarify I do NOT have a video problem. That part seems to be working fine, my problem is with audio. When ever I switch inputs on the receiver or turn the system off (not the Mini, that always stays on) the audio defaults back to the internal speaker in the Mini. I have to go into system settings and change it back to the HDMI audio out. This is super frustrating. I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong area, but it's the only thread that looked like it might have an answer. Thanks!

  • Remote Disc Can't recognize Blank disc, but it does recognize other discs. I am trying to burn something from my itunes on my mac mini to a blank disc on my windows computer. What could be wrong?

    Remote Disc Can't recognize Blank disc, but it does recognize other discs. I am trying to burn something from my itunes on my mac mini to a blank disc on my windows computer. What could be wrong?
    I can see other discs such as music and stuff so I know I have installed it correctly but how come I can't see the blank disc that I need to burn?

    You can't burn discs remotely, you can only read data discs remotely (i.e. you cannot play movie DVDs either).
    Either copy the files to the remote computer or get an external drive.

  • I cannot get my ipod touch or iphone to be recognized by Itunes on my mac mini. Only when i download itunes each time afresh, will it show up the first time. Then these devices will not be recognized at other times. Is it because i am not uninstalling it

    I cannot get my ipod touch or iphone to be recognized by Itunes on my mac mini. Only when i download itunes each time afresh, will it show up the first time. Then these devices will not be recognized subsequently. Is it because i am not uninstalling itunes before I download it? Surely this is a basic thing, ie that my devices need to recognize each other?

  • With iOS8.1 I can no longer sync MAC iTunes playlists to my iPhone. Purchased new song with iTunes and it is on my MAC but will not update to iPhone when I sync!

    With iOS8.1 I can no longer sync my iTunes MAC playlists to my iPhone!  I purchased a song on Itunes store and put it into a playlist on my MAC.  When I sync (as usual) with my iPhone, the playlist no longer updates to include the new song (i.e., playlist stuck at 16 not 17 songs)... yes, all devices are authorized... If I turn on HOME SHARING it will work, but the moment you disconnect, everything goes away... What is APPLE doing?

    From my post on what seems like the same issue (found here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21087892#21087892)
    Take the following steps:
    1) while connected to wifi, toggle off then back on the Show All Music and iTunes Match options shown in my original post. Important: I did this step before, but wasn't connected to wifi, and my music disappeared. Subsequently, I connected to wifi and turned off and then back on those options and everything came back though it was grayed out and my only option was to download music.
    2) To get streaming over cellular back, go into Settings>General>Cellular and scroll down to the "Use Cellular Data for:" options and make sure the iTunes option is set to 'On'
    The above steps will bring back the streaming capability which seemed to go away when you update to 6.1. It didn't ACTUALLY go away, but something about the update toggled off the iTunes option in step 2 above.
    I did a final test by turning off wifi, opening Music app and selecting a song. It played successfully without downloading! Crossing my fingers, but I think I'm good to go!
    Hope this helps!

  • ITunes on new Mac Mini does not show shared libraries on network or songs on NAS drive

    iTunes on new Mac Mini does not show shared libraries on network or songs on NAS drive
    The latest version of iTunes on a 3-month old Mac Mini (8 gig RAM, OS 10.10.2) does not see any of the shared iTunes libraries on a  MacBookPro (MBP) (OS 10.9.5) and a 14-month old Mac Mini (OS 10.9.5). And a network shared drive/media server does not appear as well. I have a Gigabite Ethernet G4 and on it, the MPB and the "old" mini I can see the various shared music libraries and NAS, but not on the new Mini.
    The little house with a music note inside it that I see on the upper left corner of the iTunes 12.1 window on my MBP does not appear on iTunes 12.1 on the new Mac Mini. I have gone through all the iTunes preferences and can not find where I can turn on this feature. The new Mac Mini is on the local network and I can reach the internet successfully.
    I have been using iTunes since its beginning (still have a PowerTower Pro with a working copy of SoundJam), so I am not a newbie, but this has me baffled.

    May I add, that I gave full rights to the user at the Mac Mini to access and change data on the server drive for ITunes Media.
