    Mac mini 2009 Mavericks won't boot. Chimes and power light comes on. USB ports have power. Blank display no logo,etc. Tried all keyboard boot functions, no help. Replaced RAM w/known good. No help. Removed HD and mounted in external enclosure and ran permissions and repair. No help. Upgraded HD to Yosemite and was able to boot another mini from HD mounted in external enclosure, reinstalled HD still no boot. Any ideas on how to proceed appreciated.

    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. You have a hardware problem.

  • My Mac Mini late 2012 won't boot up!

    My Mac Mini late 2012 model with 500 GB and 4 GB won't boot up because I by mistake dropped it in the floor. I'm using OS X Yosemite. I've dropped it in the floor countless of times before but this time it just wont work. When I try to boot it up a picture of a folder with a question mark starts flashing in the middle of the screen, like this:
    But mirror flipped.
    I'm wondering if there is a way for me to fix this problem.
    PLZ Help!!!!!

    That means a startup disk can't be found

  • Mac mini mid 2011 won't boot

    This morning I found my Mac mini mid 2011 frozen. I shut it down by holding the power button.
    Now it does not boot. When I turn it on I don't hear the usual chime sound or any other beeps. I can hear the hard drive powering on and the fan starts to work at full speed. Nothing appears on the monitor. No output signal at all.
    I have tried disconnecting all cables, press power button for five seconds and the. Try to boot again. No luck...
    Any ideas?? I loads of work to do and I am loosing hope. No apple stores in Greece to take it in...

    I've tried everything including SMC rreset. No luck.
    One other clue is that if try to boot up without Ram installed, it recognizes that ram is missing and beeps  
    so to summarize the symptoms:
    1. Computer has power
    2. No chime sound or any other beep when I power the computer on
    3. Fan works at full speed
    4. No output display signal
    5. I can hear the hard drive powering on
    6. The computer recognizes if you try to boot it without ram and beeps

  • Mac Mini Early 2009 Won't Boot After Mavericks Update

    I had Mavericks installed on my Mac for a while now and recently, it did a software update... Since then, I rebooted the system when it asked me to and it has not been able to boot up since then. It reaches the Apple Screen, tries to load the OS and my Mac shuts off Completely...
    I recently upgraded the Hard Drive on the system, so I am currently using my old hard drive running OS X 10.5.8... I plugged in my Hard Drive that has OS X Mavericks on it and I tried to verify the disk. When I do so in Disk Utility, I get this message:
    I went on a couple of websites where people had this same issue, and I followed the instructions where someone said to open Disk Utility, select the Partition and Press "CMD + i". I got the name of my drive from Disk Identifier. I opened Terminal and typed in "sudo /sbin/fsck_hfs -yprf /dev/disk1s2"
    It ran the code and this is the output...

    After all of that was done, I am now able to go back to Disk Utility and Completely Verify My Disk.
    What should my next step be? Should I try booting to Mavericks from that hard drive or should I try to Repair the Disk?

    I upgraded to Mavericks, and had a "grey screen of death" when re-booting for the first time.  Re-setting the PRAM fixed it for me.  Worth a try:

  • Mac Mini Late 2012 won't boot running OS X Server Mountain Lion

    My Late 2012 Mac Mini with OS X Server ML is running perfectly - but when I reboot it from the menu's "restart" command, it just shuts down, then restarts showing the spinning wheel forever.
    The configuration is:
    Mac Mini running OSX Server ML
    Disk Utility says OK
    Update is 100% OK
    Connected stuff:
    - usb 2TB Seagate disk
    - wired LAN
    There's no connected keyboard, mouse, or monitor - running it remotely from nearby iMac
    I have tried all combinations wheen booting up.
    I even reinstalled OS X Server from scratch. No luck.
    Only resolution (that works once) is to restore everything using Time Machine. Then it runs fine until power off...
    So now I ask:
    Why does this happen?
    Could it be shutting down/restarting remotely that causes this?

    Open console in Applications>Utilities, check the system log for the date/time of the last problem  & the Startup right after that for clues.
    Or maybe try a Verbose boot... CMD+v

  • Intel Mac Mini from 2006 won't boot up!  Shuts off by itself.

    I stuck a copy of Snow Leopard into my computer to upgrade it before realizing that there were certain things I hadn't thought to back up before I did. I tried to exit the install process by selecting the appropriate start up disc and then restarted. It took forever and ultimately just shut down. I turned the computer back on and it kept taking me to the os install screen until eventually it started shutting itself off before I even got there. I finally got the disc out of the mini by holding down the mouse button as it turned on, but I still can't get it to boot up into the usual os. When i turn it on, I get a blank screen, eventually an apple with the round symbol that something's loading and then eventually it shuts off before I get anywhere.
    Can someone PLEASE help me? It was a dumb mistake, but I really need to get back into my computer. I reset the PRAM, but that didn't make a difference. Thank you in advance if anyone has any advice.

    If you have the 10.6.3 disk you're in luck.
    All you do is pop it in the DVD drive, hold down the 'C' key and reboot.
    You'll have to reinstall the OS (it'll probably note that a newer version exists, and ask you if you want to overwrite it. Say 'yes'), then after installation is finished immediately do Software Update to get the system up to 10.6.8. This can be lengthy if you do it through the 'Software Update' utility. A shortcut is to download the 'combo' update here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1399
    Just to be clear: you have to reinstall from the DVD BEFORE you try and download and run that combo update.
    Once that's done, you should be good.
    As a piece of general advice, never trash a system file and THEN try to update. You update with the file in place. Normally, just hitting 'software update' will do it. If you have a specific file that you think needs replacing, acquire the file first, then move it into place before rebooting.
    Finally, never do anything like you did if you haven't got a backup. Use Carbon Copy Cloner to keep a regular clone of your entire internal HD. It would have taken you 5 minutes to boot into a clone and get the file off it that you trashed and saved you a whole load of headache!

  • My mac book 1,1 Won't boot

    Hi I tryed to boot my mac book and it won't boot, it goes on a white screen for about to min then a folder with a ? comes up! PLEASE HELP ME

    Hi...
    Try here >  A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac
    First thing I would try is booting while holding down the Option key. If the drive is ok, you should see the Startup Manager window where you can select the startup disk and restart.
    Unfortunately, 90% of the time, the ? on boot means the drive is failing or has failed   

  • [SOS]Which mac mini device can install dual boot(Lion and Mt Lion)?

    Thanks and best regards,

  • Mac mini 2,1 won't turn on

    Hi Guys,
    i have a really big problem with my mac mini.
    It won't turn on.
    I don't think it can be the power brick as I can get the mini to start up by holding down the power button whilst plugging it in.
    This is the incorrect SMC reset procedure and I get fans runnning top speed and no LED light.
    When i startet with this method, everything works.
    Ah ups i forgot:
    I have all resets done!
    NVRAM
    SMC (and by reset switch)
    New Battery
    Bought a new power adapter
    etc

    Hi,
    Witch power adapter you bought ?
    I have the same problem i bought a 85w pwer adapter and my Mac mini don't work anymore and i replace it buy a 110w and it works fine .
    Probably you are in the same case.

  • I have pages 09 0n my Mac Mini, but iCloud won't accept pdf documents not created in pages...

    I have pages 09 0n my Mac Mini, but iCloud won't accept some pdf documents not created in Pages (Its says Document format not supported).
    How do I get docs (pdf/jpg etc.), that are saved under "Documents" on my Mac Mini (Not in Pages), onto iCloud???
    I want to transfer (None Pages) documents from the Mac Mini to my iPad 3 (Which has Pages for iPad 3).
    Thanks in advance for ANY Feedback!

    You can download PDF files from iWork's page to a mac, but you can't upload from mac.  Also, you can't use iCloud like MobileMe's iDisk.  Most document formats on your mini can't be copied to iCloud.  Use Dropboc instead.

    Why does my Mac Mini go into a safe boot mode after I put it to sleep?

    HI, can you tell us how you know it's Safe Mode?
    Not sure if this applies to the new Macs, but if not I doubt it'll hurt anything...
    After using Safe Boot, to return to a normal startup, execute this command in Terminal or the command line:
          sudo nvram boot-args=""
