Late 2009 mini video problem

Late 2009 mini, C2D 2.53, Mavericks, 8G RAM, 1TB SSD
The right hand side one-third of my screen looks as pictured. It's flickering, as if scan lines are moving side-to-side. This is a new problem. The mini has been working with this monitor for a year or so.
A PS3 connected to the same monitor doesn't do this. The mini is connected through the display port, while the PS3 is connected via hdmi-to-DVI.
I tried powering off and unplugging for a while. Didn't work. My Northbridge is running at 79C while I'm running firefox and a backup, which seems high but I don't know what's normal for this machine. The fan is running. The machine was open for memory/SSD installation just a few months ago, and there wasn't a lot of dust then even after four years of operation so I'm inclined to believe it's not a dust buildup now.
If this were a PC I'd change the video card and call it a day.
Does this look like I'll be getting a new mac? This is a very poor time to have a mini die, as the current offering is two years old.

I found my miniDVI-to-DVI adapter and that's working fine. I don't want to buy another display port cable just to find out if that's the problem, since I have the display working now.

Replacement optical drive for late 2009 Mini

I recently purchased a used late 2009 Mac Mini that works great except the optical drive does not read any CD's/ DVD's I have fed into it. I hooked up an external USB drive which reads hem fine, but is not bootable, in case I ever need to reinstall my OS.
Can anyone provide a model # of a reasonability priced internal slot load CD/ DVD reader- writer that is also Mac bootable?

There should be a compatible replacement superdrive-like optical drive
among those listed for Apple Mac Mini from OWC macsales site online.
They also appear to have several other upgrade & replacement parts...
An instruction video (free) can be seen on the bottom of their pages
on how to install optical and hard drives. Or use online iFixit guides.
About USB flash or externalHDD, be sure the HDD or SSD is formatted
to use with GUID and HFS+ Journaled; there may be other details that
need to be readfor these to work. External USB optical drives can be
used with bootable system discs, be sure to check retail seller returns
policy when you get some brand such as LG or other, so you may return
the unit should it not work out for your purposes. Some won't boot OS X.
Good luck & happy computing!

Multi-Display Question for Late 2009 Mini

Hello, I have a very quick question. I was looking at attaching an additional monitor to my late 2009 Mac Mini Core 2 Duo 2.26 GHz. It has two ports for video, the *Mini Displayport* and the *Mini DVI*. I was looking at springing for the $20 adaptor so that I could add a second VGA monitor via the displayport but I am curious, is there any additional hardware required to run a second monitor from my mini other than the adaptor? I would like to add to my desktop space so I want more than just a mirror. Is there any chance that someone here could please point me in the right direction?

Thank you! I appreciate your response. I didn't know that communities like this existed before I started trying to research my question here.
The adapter I was considering: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB572Z/A
I already am using a VGA adapter for the Mini DVI port which is what I run my current single screen off of.
The overview for the adapter seems to suggest that I can use it to extend my desktop (which is more than just creating a mirror?), but I am not sure that the model I have has that capability. I read somewhere that you need to add a second video card but I am not quite sure if that only applies to PCs.

Office Mac v. X (2004?) and late 2009 mini mac OS 10.6.8

I have Office mac v. X (2004 I believe.) I just need it for word processing. I am writer. All my writing projects are on my old G4, plan to transfer files and want to stay in synch with them etc. Nothing fancy needed.
I recently purchased a late 2009 3.1 mini mac OS 10.6.8. Don't have the $$$ to purchase new version of Windows for Mac software.
If I install the 2004 software are there any technical issues I need to be aware of?

Office 2004 will run in Snow Leopard because Snow Leopard still supports Rosetta. But there will be compatibility issues. See alternatives from below.
Office 2004 and Other Applications Don't Work in Lion/Mountain Lion
If you have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite, it will not work in Lion/Mountain Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion/Mountain Lion.
You may want to consider as well:
These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
NeoOffice
Open Office
And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
Pages - word processing and layout
Keynote - presentation
Numbers - spreadsheet
Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
As for other software, any PPC-based software will not run in Lion or Mountain Lion because Rosetta is no longer part of OS X. You will need to upgrade to Intel versions of the software.
(Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

Late 2009 Mini with 10.6 and 8GB RAM crashes, please advise ?!

Hi
I have a late 2009 Mac Mini with 8GB of RAM and an Intel X25-M 160GB SSD. Running 10.6 fully updated and installed from scratch.
I have been getting out of the blue crashes while the system is most of the times idle. Can it be the 8GB Ram? The SSD runs latest firmware.
This is the log from the last crash which happened a little ago. Can anyone help please?

The Mini came with 1GB Samsung which I've upgraded to 2 x 2GB Samsung. Then after a few months I bought the 2 x 4GB OCZ which initially was ok, but after a few months the system would crash out of nowhere. So I wiped off the OS and reinstalled 10.6 After a few days my first crash appeared, which is where the logs on my first post come from.
I will keep my 4GB Samsung RAM for a few weeks and if no errors appear then it was most probably because of the RAM. I believe there is some incompatibility between the Mini and some memory chips as the memory itself come out clean from Memtest86 and has lifetime warranty as well.

Will this memory work in late 2009 Mini models?

Yes, these will work fine in the late 2009 Mac minis.
Buy with confidence.
For cross-reference, you can use Other World Computing's ram finder located here, and you will see the specs are exactly the same as the memory you are trying to buy off eBay.

MacBook (13inch-late 2009) Heat/fan problem?? (2.26Ghz, white unibody)

Hello guys, I have, maybe a problem with a unibody MacBook 2.26Ghz.
Many times i have noticed that it is quite silently with his fan, even if some process are taking lot of CPU. For example, my MacBook Pro 13inch mid 2009 is not so silent, cause the fans runs faster. For example, now that I'm writing on it, the CPU temp is 55 degree and fans runs at 2500rpm. I think could be normal, even if most of the times I would prefer it would not cross 2000rpm for low temp.
By the way, interested about the fan speed of this macbook unibody I have started a hard process that was taking lot of CPU (A VLC video mkv playing at very-very-very high quality). Around 90 % of both cores was used, so the temp started to gone up as normal.
The strange thing, is that even if the CPU was running from 50, then 60 then 70 then 80 and over degree, the fan speed was still at 2000rpm. The fans was not taking care of this high temperature, all was normal. The video played for many minutes, and nothing happened, the fan was still at 2000rpm, some rpm more, some rpm less.
On my Mac Book Pro, the same process cause an increase of fan speed quite after the CPU starts to get stressed at high percentage.
I have manually tested the fan of this macbook, and it is able to go at faster speed, the classic 6200rpm can be reached if someone ask it to run at that speed.
So, now I ask you guys, does is normal that this macbook quite ignore this hard temperature and not start to cool the CPU on this high degrees? Does I have to wait more for fan speed (i have waited at last 5-10 minutes)?
My fear is that the heat could damage the CPU or cause any other hardware problems...
let me know please
thanx!!
Andrea

I have the same Macbook type. You can try resetting the System Management Controller. The details are in this link:

Macbook late 2009 mini DVI to HDMI not working

I never had a problem using my external TV with my macbook untill now. I always connect it using a mini DVI cable to HDMI to TV. It worked pefectly for a while. But recently it stopped working, when i plug in my macbook to TV it shows a blue screen for few seconds and then nothnig. there's no signal on the TV.
Any resolution will be appreciated.

I Started seeing this on my Mac Mini attached to my HDTV from DVI to HDMI after upgrading to 10.5.8.
I am running Spaces. Are you? Is it possibly related to this? I have seen a couple times where the screen was blue for some time and after pressing CTR-Left Arrow
to switch spaces, I would get my screen. Try switching spaces with the keyboard shortcut and see what you get.

N97 mini Video problem

Hi everyone,
I lately transferred using Nokia Ovi Suite, 4 videos (2 episodes and 2 movies) onto my n97 mini. All these videos work at the beginning perfectly, then at the end they freeze and i can only hear voice. The phone does not freeze, the video frame does. And this happens at the end of every video (episodes freeze at about 2 minutes from end, movies at about 20 minutes from end).
Any ideas how i can fix this?
Thanks!
Sascha

Try taking a 10 minute vid with your phone camera, see if the same thing happens , if not complain to Ovi about the vidz you bought. If it occurs with the recorded video, complain to phone supplier ! I tend to convert my own videos to MP4 format and they work fine.
Good Luck

Late 2009 Mini: FireWire port - what size is it?

All I know is that the normal FireWire cable I have doesn't fit in the mini,s port. Googling suggests that there exist 8,9,4, and 6 pin variants of FireWire, although it doesn,t state whether those correspond to different form factors. Apple tech specs are certainly no help. When I telephone around to best buy or radio shack, asking if they stock a normal FireWire to Mac mini forewire cable or adaptor, what should I really say?
Thanks,
Chap

What are you connecting to from the Mac Mini to?
The Mac Mini uses a 9 pin Firewire 800 cable. Most PCs use a 4 pin Firewire 400 cable, and camcorders do too, though some only use a USB port which can't be adapted to Firewire. A very few use the 6 pin Firewire 400 found on older Macs, which allowed the device to get power from another Firewire device. You'll want one end to be Firewire 9 pin 800 for the Mac, but the other end may have to be something different. http://www.macsales.com/ sells a full array of Firewire cables and so does the Apple Store. It is rare that Radio Shack or Best Buy does, as they mainly focus on connecting PCs.

Migrating from late 2009 Mini to new 2012

I have tried all methods of migrating but the computer doesn't connect to the other computer.
I have done 800 Firewire computer to computer by restarting and holding T but all I get is the Firewird logo bouncing around the screen but I have no access.
I have done ethernet to ethernet between the two computers but it just spins and I have connected both computers to the router but it still spins.
How can I get the older HD with all its settings on the new MINI?
Thanx

Hello, just checking, is the older one the one in Target Mode?
Any other drives connected to either?
Does the older Mac in t mode show up in Finder or Disk Utility on the newer one?

IPod 160GB Classic (late 2009) sync & related problems

My pod went weird while syncing this afternoon.
First the iTunes started freezing & the pc subsequently hanging after adding just a few of the freshly imported songs.
Incidentally, all my songs are imported from legit audio cds or paid downloads.
On every occasion i had to re-boot my pc to start over.
Re-booting with the pod connected does not work either (though i have never tried this before), as the pc stalls after the windows splash screen.
On the 3rd attempt the ipod stopped appearing on itunes altogether!
Then it became invisible to explorer completely.
The "connected" warning & rotating graphics are playing on the pod though!
Finally the pc started freezing everytime the pod was plugged in BUT is waking up on removing the pod.
iTunes on its own is working fine.
On checking the iPod i found that it has come down to only "49" songs (from 5530 orginally) & the memory status is showing 148GB used!!!
Fortunately the library on my HDD is intact & i am still within warranty period
However, after going through some of the threads here, it seems this is a well-known issue.
Will be grateful if anybosy could help me.
BTW, trying to download a fresh iTunes on top of the existing one (whic was updated last week).
In case that helps.
Have tried restore etc., without any effect.

Ok I've got some additional info. If I reload the offending videos into itunes as Movies rather than TV shows then the'll load onto my iPod. Anyone know why my iPod would let me load it with a movie but not let me load it after the exact same video is changes to a tv show? Someone has GOT to know something. Please people please!

MacBook Pro 15" Late 2011 Problems with iMac 27" Late 2009 TDM

Hi,
I just got problems with my iMac 27" Late 2009 (Mini-DisplayPort) and my MacBook Pro 15" Late 2011 (Thunderbolt).
When I try to use my iMac as external monitor for my MacBook, there are massive glitches and graphical bugs on my second screen.
I bought a MDP-to-MDP wire from Belkin which works perfect on other computers.
I tried these things:
- Disconnected MagSafe from MacBook + unplugged all USB devices + switched graphics to discrete.
- Shut down all computers ... then booted MBP, iMac and triggered CMD+F2
- SMC, PRAM reset on both devices
The cable works, because:
17" MacBook Pro Late 2011 works perfectly on my iMac screen with my Belkin wire!
I connected my MacBook Pro 15" to a 27" Cinema Display and it works flawless.
After that I plugged it out and tested it again with my iMac screen -> suddenly it works.
Retriggering CMD+F2 or replugging breaks it again with massive bugs.
The MacBook Pro 17" is on 10.7.2, 15" is on 10.7.3, but I also tried to trigger dual screen in 10.7.0 setup with the same issue.
Maybe its a problem with the internal 6750M of my MacBook Pro 15"?
The 6770M of the 17" is working well.
Sample Video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_pgc52syes
All updates/firmware updates of iMac and MacBook Pro are installed.
Any solutions?

HT3986 Mac mini later 2009-- can i install windows 7 -64 bit on it?

hi there,
can i install dual system on mac mini later 2009?
windows 7 32bit or 64 bit?
thanks

Although I have the "Early" 2009 mini, I believe they're close enough.
I have a dual system installed. Mac OS X Mountain Lion and Windows 7 64 bit. I have 8GB of RAM.
You should be aware though that Apple does not officially support the 64 bit version of Windows 7 on this machine, although it seems to be working for the most part using Boot Camp 4.0 drivers.
My only complaint is about the nForce Ethernet Driver. There seems to be some problem with it. Whenever the nVidia Control Panel for video is launched, there is an error reported:
The ethernet itself appears to be working fine using some driver dated back to 2010. While I can go to nVidia's website and locate an updated driver for the GeForce 9400 GPU, I cannot seem to find one for the nForce Ethernet. Honestly, I am not even interested in the Network Control panel, but I get another error when I try to uninstall it.
Would be nice is this could be fixed. Windows 7 32 bit didn't have this issue but I want to run the 64 bit version so I can see all of my RAM.
