Mac Mini 2010 reboot once on Mountain Lion Server
I upgrade my Macmini 2010 (Core2 Duo) on Mountain Lion and install Server.
Everything works great ... but very often the macmini reboot.
Bring it to AppleStore. They re-intall Snow Leopard (cool ...) make a lot of tests and say : there is no hardware problem.
Ok, install back to Mountain Lion, install Server and ... once again get a lot of reboot ...
Any idea ?
At the store they reinstall it with snow leopard, not mountain lion.
Don't install server.
At home just have monitor connected through hdmi/dvi original cable and keyboard and track pad through Bluetooth.
Do you thing that I've to connect different devices (mouse and keyboard via USB cable and monitor through HDMI) ?

TS4088 Macbook Pro 13" (mid 2010) reboot loop during Mountain Lion install
Hi all.
I have a very frustraiting issue with my mid 2010 MBP 13" (7.1) that started a mounth ago:
Before all my troubble began it was fully updated with the latest Mountain Lion, Firmware and SMC.
During an iPad sync my MBP went into hybernation because of low power (yeah, I know. I should have noticed that)
When I got it back on power it failed to snap out of hybernation. When I held down the power button for a few seconds it did start to boot.
When it came back to the desktop it rebooted only after 10 seconds or so. I let it reboot like this about 5 times until I started to hunt down a way to resolve this on the support forums. Based on the forums I have tried the following:
Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
Reset SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Refit RAM blocks
Disconnect it from power, remove battery and press and hold power button for 10 + seconds
Go to Disc Util, verify/repair disc http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1417
Go to Disc Util, verify/repair permission http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1417
Run Apple Hardware Test http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509 This test returned no errors in both standard and extensive mode.
None of this solved my problem. It possibly only made it worse. It reboots during boot or just after desktop appears.
A suggestion from a forum was to replace the HDD with a new one. I then bought a WD SSHD 1TB thinking that i might as well upgrade while troubbleshooting.
I switched the HDD and booted. Since the MBP came with the Snow Leopard (10.6.3) DVD I installed with this.
The install went perfect so I thought to myself that I made it. I then went on to upgrading to Mountain Lion through App store.
During the ML install the computer rebooted.... and rebooted.... and rebooted... and........ (imagine my frustration level here).
I tried all of the above but to no avail.
Thinking that Snow Leopard seemed to work I found an old 128 GB HDD and installed that with Snow Leopard. I made a full system update including iLife components.
Now, That works fine except for an extremely slow boot. It takes a coupple of minutes to enter desktop and keystrokes/mouseclicks are cashed for about 5 minutes.
I then took it to a professional Mac repair shop and let him have a go at it (with the original HDD). He worked on it a whole day and tried to switch just about everything (Logic-board, Top case, all cables, HDD, Superdrive, DC-In, Fan) but again with no resolution.He concluded that there is no apparent hardware errors.
When I got it back the fan ran at 100% and I could see (with the Snow Leopard disc) that SMC version was 0.000 ???
An extensive search lead me to this: http://chimac.net/2010/04/27/how-to-flash-the-firmware-3rd-party-hack/
I followed the guide and the SMC was back to 1.6
I re-inserted the SSHD and went into Disc Util to erase the disk to start all over. I erased the main partition but coudn't erase the restoration partition.
Now the disc is installing through the restoration web installer (Reinstall OS X) but it keeps rebooting after about 2.5-3 minutes after the chime. Sometimes I don't even get to type in my Apple-ID before it reboots, and it is so far only downloading the installer!!!
Here is what i don't understand:
Why does the MBP keep on rebooting even when the OS is not yet installed?
Why is there a sluggish keyboard/mouse response the first 8-10 minutes?
If there is no hardware error why does Single User Mode give me bluetoothusbhubport error?
If there is a faulty Bluetooth, how can that result in constant reboot even when the OS is not yet installed?
I suspect that the root cause is with the iPad being connected/syncing while it went into hybernation but the right solution keeps eluding me.
I appologize for the long entry but this is REALLY testing my paitence. I hope some of you great people can point me in the right direction.Here is the report when I startup using the Snow Leopard disc:

What is causing my Mac Mini to crash while running Mountain Lion?
Hello!
I have an Early 2009 Mac Mini that I had 10.7 installed on for quite some time. Everything worked really well, and I was very pleased with it. I upgraded my Macbook Air to 10.8, and have been very pleased with it as well. Not the case though, with the Mac Mini, since upgrading it to 10.8.
Currently it's running on 10.8.1 (12B19), and it is crashing all the time. Programs of all kinds (iTunes, Skype, Safari, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, etc...) will just randomly vanish off the screen, and are followed by a "________ quit unexpectedly" window, to report the problem. In each and every case (usually +5 times a day) I report all of the crashes.
Several times as well, I have also had the entire computer crash and reboot itself. That is perhaps the most frustrating of all. Most times the screen will turn black, it will make it's "ding" sound, and then begin restarting itself. Sometimes the screen will freeze and the spinning loading icon will appear on the screen for 10-15 seconds, and then it will black-out and reboot itself.
I've tried to deal with it for a while now, but I'm getting a little impatient at it and I'm curious if anyone else is experiencing the same thing. I have TONS of error report logs, so if you'd like to see one, I'll be glad to post it.
Thanks in advance!Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Mac Mini 2011 - Grey Screen in Mountain Lion Installation
I'm having major difficulties with my Mac Mini 2011.
It started with random grey screens appearing forcing me to restart. I restarted and continued working as normal.
Today, I restarted and it jumped directly into the grey screen again in startup.
1.
I booted into recovery mode
-Tried disk utility - repaired and everything seemed fine
-Rebooted and into grey screen again
2.
-Formated partition
-Started new installation and after downloading and 20min remaining, grey screen appears again
Restarted and everything went to grey screen portrayed in the link below:
https://www.box.com/s/yqzizv9g1enob4cdc4yr
I'm stuck.. I believe this should be a clean installation. Why isn't this working?
Can anyone help me please?If you want to preserve the data on the boot drive, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to fully boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
1. Boot from the Recovery partition or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
2. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
3. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data. -
I'm using a brand new SanDisk 16gb SDHC card and the moment I put it into the reader it says "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" with options to Initialize Ignore or Eject.
Any thoughts?Hello people.
I cryied long enough, browsing the Internet looking forward to a solution for the same case you are stating here. That said, I do not want you to suffer any longer the way I did if you run out of solutions...
In my case, I was trying to copy images from my SD-HC 2 memory card (San Disk, 8GB) to my computer (Mac). I was using a chinese memory card reader (Kino, "Mini Multi in One memory card reader", model SY-682, USB 2.0). The memory card reader/hub used to work just fine before, but till recently it didn't...
I had a suspicion on my OS updating, since I used to copy images from this SD Card to my computer on a monthly basis (I used to have Mac OSX 10.6.8, and a technician recently changed my Mac's operating system to 10.7.5 or so, as far as I can detail... It wasn't a god job what he did, but anyway)...
My husband saw me crying in front of the computer after reading and chasing to a lot of Google searches, and what he did was simply this:
I used to put the memory card in the reader, and then plug the reader into the Mac's USB port... And it didn't work... Right?
He, instead, did it backwards: he plugged the memory card reader to the Mac's USB port and THEN slide the memory card into the slot of the memory card reader...
By doing this, you do not get to see the image of the memory card in your Mac's desktop, BUT: if you open a new Finder window, you will see the image of the memory card into the left margin of the window, right behind the "Devices" title... In my case, the memory card image just read "EOS_DIGITAL", as I use to take pictures with a Canon EOS camera...
Anyway, I hope this helps, and please replicate this answer to those in the same suffering I used to be till 15 minutes before.
Good luck. -

How To Set Up Mountain Lion Server/Point DNS to Mac Mini Server
Hello, First of all I have no experience with setting up servers whatsoever. Below is what I have
- Mac Mini with Mountain Lion Server
- Time Capsule as my router
- Comcast as my service provider
My goal is to set up my MacMini as a sharepoint for files and other data with my other partners.
- I have purchased a domaine name from NetworkSolutions. Does this mean that they are my DNS hosting as well? Not really sure. My biggest question is how to point my DNS to my mac mini server correctly.
1. How do you point the DNS to my mac mini server.
2. I've read somewhere to use the IP address from my mac mini server. The only IP address I see is from my Time Capsule (router). I know what my public IP adress is but I am not sure if that's the one to use. I think once I figure this DNS thing I can figure out the rest.
Thanks - Need lots of help.Here's a detailed write-up on setting up internal (private) DNS on OS X Server, and no, you're probably not going to be setting up external DNS on your servers. Your public DNS service will be hosted on and served from the Network Solutions DNS servers.

Sharing iTunes with a Mac Mini OS X Mountain Lion Server
I'm adding a Mac Mini OS X Mountain Lion Server to my home network. What options do I have to inetgrate iTunes into the server? Currently my master iTunes library is housed on a RAID on a Mac Pro, home sharing is on, and it interfaces over the network just fine into Apple TV (3rd gen). For instance, with Server can all devices on the network have access to that library? Could the library stream to the Apple TV in the living room, an iMac in the office, an iPhone in another room all simultaenously? Also, can any Server member order iTunes Store content and cause it it to be placed into the master library on the Ser

Mac Mini 2010 Hardware Test w/ Lion
I have a mac mini 2010 that came with snow leopard installed. I recently upgraded to Lion, however I need to do the Apple hardware test. When I attempt to load the hardware test by holding down the D key when booting the Mac Mini the hardware test fails to load. What do I need to do to load the Hardware test?
How to run hardware diagnostics for an Intel Mac
Boot from your original OS X Installer Disc One that came with your computer. After the chime press and hold down the "D" key until the diagnostic screen appears. Run the extended tests for a minimum of two or three hours. If any error messages appear note them down as you will need to report them to the service tech when you take the computer in for repair.
Some "common" error indicators:
SNS - sensor error
MEM - memory error
HDD - hard disk drive error
MOT - fan error -
Will Mountain Lion Server be slower that Lion Server on my 2009 Mac Mini?
I have a 2009 Mac Mini running Lion Server. Specs are: 2.0 GHz 8 GB ram.
As always, I'm wanting to reap the benefits of the latest OS without upgrading my hardware. I know mirroring won't be supported, but who cares about that on a server.
Does anybody have Mountain Lion on a similar setup?We've found Mountain Lion Server to run just as fast as Lion. MLS boots a bit slower on our Mac minis, but it's
neglegable.
Also have had trouble migrating from Lion and 10.6.8 server to Mountain Lion Server. Issues with Open Directory and Mail.
Hope Apple puts out a .1 release to address the issues soon. -

I recently (4 days ago) bought a Mac mini server with 10.7 lion; will I qualify for a free upgrade to Mountain Lion Server?
Mtn Lion not due out until the Summer, so no, you will not get a free upgrade. -

Can I ask you to repost this question? Might try in the Mountain Lion forum as well as here.
Put "Mountain Lion Install fails" in the headline box, then from your second post -
"When i run The OSX Mountain Lion Icon i downloaded from the App Store it always gets to the point when its about to restart but the it keeps saying "please quit the application and try again" Now i've tried Re-Downloading it a lot of times but that doesn't work"
and add the Mac specification -
