You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.

Formatted mac mini (mid 2010) - need to reinstall and have lost the original discs, Formatted mac mini (mid 2010) - need to reinstall and have lost the original discs

Hi guys I have a mac mini mid 2010 that I stupidly reformatted the hard drive to give it to a friend, thinking it would be easy to reinstall - I haven't got the original system discs cause again I'm dumb!!!!!!!!! And I am struggling to get it reinstalled, what is the best method to install this? Would a 10.6 retail version run?

1. Phone Apple Support and order replacements.
2. Only if it's newer than the computer.

Lost sound on Mac mini (Late 2012) Yosemite 10.10.1

Hello everybody,
I lost the sound on my Mac mini. It was working just fine a few days ago. (I tried restoring it to an earlier date but no joy). I tried the troubleshooting mentioned here Troubleshooting issues with no audio from built-in speakers on Macs - Apple Support to no avail. I tried connecting external speakers (which worked in the past) but nothing. They don't show on the Audio/Output screen.
I can see the Audio icon on my screen. I can increase and decrease volume from my keyboard (through F11/F12). But no sound. I have reset the PRAM, reset the SMC (by unplugin/plugin power cord). Pretty much runnig out of options. Any advice will be welcome. Thanks.

There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Some may not apply to your model. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
2. Make sure you have a fully up-to-date installation of OS X.
3. If you've installed an application called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and restart. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
4. Other third-party software that has been reported to interfere with sound output includes "Boom" and "Samsung Kies." If applicable, uninstall according to the developer's instructions (not by dragging something to the Trash.)
5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select Built-in Output from the list on the left. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them.
7. If a red light is visible in the audio-out port when sound should be playing, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by the warranty.
If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Restart and test.
9. If you have a MacBook Air, turn off Bluetooth and restart.
10. Start up in safe mode. Don't log in; just restart as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
11. Reset the NVRAM.
12. Reset the SMC.
13. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/Audio
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Recreate your settings in the Sound preference pane.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
14. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
15. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

OS disk lost for mac mini

Hi
I have lost my OS disk for mac mini 2007 10.4 and I need to erase the disk before getting rid of it from disk utility
Is there anywhere I can download a copy from?

No download, free or paid.
You can call Apple Customer Support 1-800-767-2775, provide the Serial Number and specifications of the Mac, and for a fee, a replacement set of system discs (if available), can be ordered.
However, the discs will be for the original version of OS, that was pre-installed, when the Mac was manufactured.
 Cheers, Tom

Mac Mini (Mid 2011) dead / EFI, ... how to unbrick?

Hello!
I have a Mac Mini Server (Mid 2011) which does not boot up anymore.
A benq screen is connected via HDMI and a mac keyboard via USB.
What I did before:
* generate lion recovery stick
* boot up with it an created a raid1 on the two internal 750gb drives
* reinstalled OSX (which took way to long, I want a full USB installer and not a network based one!)
* booted up OSX (worked nicely)
* installed the 5 pending software upgrades (one was the EFI Update)
* the efi update itself looked ok (grey progress bar was 100%) but instead of starting up my screen went blue
(=sign for lost hdmi signal) and the mac mini fan went to full speed.
* there was no interruption, power outage, reboot or whatever during the EFI BIOS update.
After that I called the Apple support, which only mentioned that I have to bring it in.
After waiting >30 min on the first support call they said I shall turn it off and on.
I tried the 10sec power button press method, pram-zapping, target mode towards an
other mac via thunderbolt, recovery mode, ... nothing changed the behavior.
The only thing it does on powering it on is to show a steady led, you feel the virbrations
from the spinning disks and after 25sec the fan turns full speed again.
For me it smells like an EFI issue, I wonder if the update routine got confused by the RAID1
(like trying to store some temporaty file which failed)
If I press the power button while plugging in the power and press power again the led does not
lite and the fan turns on imidiatly, these are the two modes in which I seem to be able to power it up.
I saw for older macs exists an "Firmware Restoration CD" http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2213
But I did not find anything else.
After calling Apple support again and spepding 2h in the phone queue and two disconnects
I got to a "Senior Advisor" who did not even knew about the "Firmware Restoration CD" at all, ...
He said there is no Recovery for this model and that most likely the logic board has to be replaced.
What I would like to hear from all of you out there:
* is there any way to recover a EFI firmware on the most recent Mac models, like my Mid 2011 Mac Mini Server?
(if not this sounds a bit broken by design)
* Any other suggestions what I could do to bring the Mac Mini back to life?
Thx, mek!

I have the same problem with the Mac mini in mid-2011, the newestmodel. After the EFI firmware update 1.3, the Mac will not start well,and fan speed up to full speed Increasing but the mac does nothing.
I called Apple and they don`t give me another solution to get him tofix. From what I've seen the most likely have to change the logicboard.
My is a brand new Mac Mini 2,3 GHz i5 with 2 GH mem
If anyone has another solution please comment on it.
My mac mini only has 20 days
Sorry for my poor English

How to format and install a fresh copy of Mac OS 10.6.4, with another MacBook CD, because i lost the one that came with mine, thanks.

Dear user, can i format and install a fresh copy of Mac OS 10.6.4, with another MacBook CD, because i lost the one that came with mine, thanks.

As you need to be on 10.6 to be able access the App Store to download Lion, either get replacement discs via Applecare (you'll need the MBP's serial number to get the right ones) or get the SL retail disc. I would recommend the Original disc replacement set (assuming they were 10.6) as they carry not onlyApple Hardware Test for your model, but the iLife apps other bundled sftware that isn't on the retail disc.
Once you've installed, and used Software Update to get to 10.6.8, you can then get Lion if you're feeling masochistic.

Updated iMovie on my brand new mac mini and lost "SPEED" function.

Updated iMovie on my brand new Mac Mini and lost "SPEED" function.

Hello bbryson68, I'm sure you've just over-looked it.
The answer is to click on Adjust above the Clip in Viewer, this will bring into view a adjustments bar also above the Clip.
Now you just have to select the speed via the Turtle icon. Once the clip has been speed-up or down, you'll get a Slider
over the clip in question & a Rabbit icon indicating the clip has been speed-up.
If you want to keep audio undistorted check the Preserve Pitch checkbox above the viewer.
The Clip Slider & icon of Rabbit appear in the Clip-Trimer window below the main Clip, also check your Pref's to see if you have
Apply Slow Motion checked? This will slow or speed up all other clips to the first clip.

I set up Raid on my Mac Mini Server and lost my Server software. It is not listed in my "purchased" apps. How can I get it w/o having to purchase it? Will my serial # be enough to show it is a mini server and under warrantee be enough to get it back?

If it's not listed in Purchases, check that it's hidden, and if so, unhide it > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928 After that, go to Purchases and download OS X Server.
If you can't download it, contact with the Mac App Store support > http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact

The Apple Store recommended wiping and reloading software on my Mac Mini yesterday. In the process I lost iMovie, iPhoto and Garage Band. How can I get them back?

I took my Mac Mini to the Apple store yesterday since I was having trouble with difficult to read text. They recommended wiping the drive and reloading it. I lost iMovie, iPhoto and Garage band in the process. How can I get them back. The App store says they are already installed.

What I missed was that I needed to select "Purchased" rather than using the normal listing of items. Once I went to the purchased list I could easily download the various software.
Thank you all for your help.
Bob

I lost all the recovery partition to recovery mac mini from beginning, what do I need to do? please help

I lost all my partitions to recovery my mac mini server, what do I need to do to put them back on? help Thanks

Did your Mac Mini come pre-installed with Mountain Lion? If so, use Internet Recovery (Command+Option+R) keys at restart. You should see a spinning globe. This will boot into Apple's server Recovery HD and let you reinstall ML. So, you will need an Internet connection. Your apps and data will not be touched as this will just install the OS on top of itself.
Backup your system first before doing the above.

Completely lost internet after upgrade over 10.7.4, Mac Mini

Hi Everyone,
I've upgraded from 10.7.4 on a Mac Mini bought late last year i5 2.3 GHz, 500GB HDD to 10.8.2.
I've now completely lost the internet.
My FreeNAS box started disconnecting intermitently and today, after a reboot, I cannot connect to the internet.
I've tried turning everything off, pluging the mac directly into the router, uninstalled tons of software, checked the console error logs, checked a few things via terminal and connect find any logical explanation. I've even swapped routers and cables with known working devices in the household.
At one point, I had two mobile accounts set on my home network with Windows Home Server 2008 R2 but these were not so active prior to the upgrade and I've checked settings here.
I consider myself good at network with most parts of the network set to LAGG except the Mini.
I'm really stumped.
Has anyone else experienced this?
I'm actually wondering if I've got a hardware defect and it's just bad timing with the update.
If anyone has any ideas, I'm keen to try things out but will be phoning Apple tomorrow.

Right, I've found the solution. I completely binned my 'SystemConfiguration' folder from the Library/Preferences and now it works.
What an absolute pain. Lost all my settings but can get back on the internet.
Got no idea what caused it and maybe I'll route through the folder to see what stopped it from working. It was working perfectly fine on Lion, every since purchase date.

Lost left click on Mac mini 5.1 and Mavericks

As of yesterday I lost my left click on my Mac mini 5.1 running Mavericks. I was working with several programs, Mathematicas was one of them and suddenly I lost the click on my trackpad, I still have the arrow. I turned on my wireless mouse and I got the right click, but still not left click. I have shutdown my computer, restarted and nothing. Started it in safe mode and nothing. I ran the hardware test (I didn't see the bluetooth interface in the connectivity page) and found everything ok. But the problem persists. In this configuration the computer is pretty much useless (haven't try voice commands, but still mostly useless within a program).

It seems that the trackpad collapsed and was interfering the left button signal. I remove the batteries and everything returned to normal.
