Mac Mini 2011 Server Won't Detect Bluetooth Keyboard

Hi all,
My new Mac Mini Server (2011) with Lion preinstalled is causing my some headaches and it is barely out of the box. I have an Apple Wireless Keyboard and a third-party bluetooth mouse. I unpaired both from my Macbook Pro and then tried switching the MBP's bluetooth off and even turning off the whole **** machine. In the mean time, the Mac Mini's Setup Assistant could not find my keyboard, but it did find my mouse. I tried putting fresh batteries in my keyboard and everything looks fine since even my iPad can "see" the keyboard is active. However, because Setup Assistant cannot detect the keyboard, I cannot get past the Setup stage (and hopefully try fiddling with the bluetooth settings). I am compleetly stuck on the page where one has to input an Admininstor's password for the server. A mouse alone cannot get me past this part. Can anyone please please help me?

Start the mini looking for the keyboard then turn the keyboard off and on again (worked for me)

  • Old Mac Mini With Server won't fully startup?

    Hello
    bought an old Mac Mini (Core Solo, 2GB ram) and then bought Apple Snow Leopard Server from an retail store here in denmark, installed it just fine and set it up just fine. It's running my home network (DHCP, DNS, File, mail and web) replacing an Airport Extreme as the file sharing feature doesn't work well with my Win7 computers...
    the server operates just fine, at least as I can se. but I have set it to reboot once a week and once in a while it wont startup fully,(ore it would shutdown fully) as the background is the only thing on the screen and the mouse. nothing else and it just sits there until i jank the power and reboot it...
    the wired part is that DHCP and DNS seems to me running in the background, as clients gets ip address and dns look up works.
    looked at the console and can't see anything out of the ordinary, no reboot canceled stuff.
    just error that clamav can't update.
    any ideas to where I can fined whats going one?

    The logs are typically written to the /var/log directory, and available via Terminal.app and cat or tail or related commands. Apache on Snow Leopard and Snow Leopard Server will typically use the directory /var/log/apache2/ for its chattering.

  • Mac Mini (2011) can't boot, no screen display.

    Hi, my mac mini (2011) finally won't startup today.
    It was since two weeks ago, the mini goes freeze very frequently, I discovered that the fan speed was always below 2000rpm, meantime, the CPU temp was around 80-90 degree, it is around 25 degree in the room, last Friday I installed a software named smcfancontrol, which can manually speed up the fan, and it seems better, and the computer runs faster, I think the CPU is running in full speed.
    Today, I opened a video to watch, after about ten minutes, the computer goes freeze again, and of course I force powered it down by pressing the power button on the back, then the tragic came:
    - when I try to boot up the machine, the front light turns on, then off with a "ka" sounds like the hard drive shutting down(force powering it down)
    - after around two seconds, the light goes on again, and the fan smoothly goes to full speed, there is nothing shows up on screen, as well as no apple boot up sound.
    - I tried to reset smc (power down, unplug power cable, wait 15 seconds, plug in power cable, wait 5 seconds, power on), no luck.
    - I tried to reset pmu (at least internet says it's pmu, it seems apple website did not mention how to reset pmu on mac mini, power down, hold power button for five seconds, power on), no luck
    - I also tried to unplug the memory, try with every single one to boot, no luck
    - last Friday, when I can still boot up the computer, I thought there might too much dust, I removed the fan and cleaned it up, it looks a small piece of plastic on the fan plug were damaged, but the smcfancontrol app still can control its speed, therefore I think the fan is OK.
    - during many retry, there was one time, the fan goes full speed at startup, with no front light off,(my current status is fan goes to full speed gently).
    - the computer is connected with an AV amplifier, then output to a plasma TV, when the computer is powered off, the TV displays a background of amp, when I startup the computer, although no video output from computer, the TV goes to a "No Signal" status, I dont's think this is related to my problem.
    the computer is out of warrentee, but bought only for less than two years... I really want it back to work, can someone help me? many thanks!
    wish you all have a good day.

    Hard to troubleshoot when you can't turn on the computer on any more.  One option is to bring it to an Apple store to have them look at it.  They will tell you what is wrong and how much it will cost to fix.  I have never heard of them charging for a diagnostic and an estimate.
    If your CPU was running hot all the time and your fan had small plastic pieaces, in my opinion, something got fried.  The mini is so compact, that the excessive heat may have also over heated your hard drive causing thd "ka" sound.
    If you decide to continue in to use a Mac Mini as a media server, may I would suggest using iStat to monitor it.  I use iStat on my 2011 Mac Mini Media Server to monitor CPU usage, all sensors, and internet incoming and outcoming.

  • Mac Mini 2011 boot camp freezes on loading windows screen.

    I bought my mac mini 2011 server, have upgraded it to mountan lion and mountain lion server and wanted to install windows on it. I have microsoft windows 7 professional OEM system builder edition on a dvd, a LG portable super multi blue rewriter, a corded mac keyboard with number pad, a HP mouse, and a hdmi monitor. I have not upgraded any features on the mac, it is original.
    I updated all software, well except a printer driver that I don't have the printer of anymore, and ran boot camp. I tried to partition my entire hard drive for it, however that did not work. I then tried to partition half of the first hard drive and that did not work either. I tried unpluging the mouse and keyboard and it still won't work. I bought the copy off of amazon and it appears to be legal. I just always get stuck on the "Windows is loading" screen. The loading bar, a white band across the bottom of the screen, always goes across the whole screen once fast, then makes it's way to the farther left side of the screen and then hangs there indefiniteley.
    Any suggestions? more questions about the situation?

    Mini mini, there are problems with mini and esp. server version.
    What I think others have said: cannot use OS X Server, had to use Mac OS X client
    External LG is not supported. Doesn't come with an internal SuperDrive though does it?
    The system builder is fine.
    Just one story (there are others, I need to collect all the "Mac Mini Tips" together, I can't remember and keep them straight otherwise.
    HDMI audio in Windows 7 64 bit 
    reinstalled the Intel video drivers and audio worked immediately.
    My config:  2011 Mac Mini 2.3, Intel 3000HD video
           .   .       upgrade to 8GB ram
    Samsung 8000 series LED TV connected with HDMI
    Memorex external BluRay writer(USB only power)
    After partitioning drive with boot camp and reboot, install Windows 7 with install wizard.
    When asked whether to allow automatic updates say 'no', then complete installation and run boot camp tools for Windows.
    Because the network driver gets installed prior to the Intel video driver, Windows will install the Windows Update Intel video driver which breaks HDMI audio.
    When auto updates are off, the Intel video driver that is correct gets installed last. 
    HDMI audio works with this driver.
    Apple should install the Intel video driver first and it would solve this problem.
    I now have full blown 3D BluRay support on the MacMini with TruHD audio, fantastic!
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3408749
    - There are other stories where Microsoft Windows will automatically install video drivers (iMac) and cause trouble. Sometimes in an innocuous security patches rolled out monthly Tuesday.

  • How do I downgrade mountain lion back to my mac mini 2011 lion server

    Hi,
    Previously, my mac mini mid 2011 was installed with mac os lion server then I have purchase and upgrade to mountain lion via iTunes.
    Somehow I decided to downgrade back to lion server due to use of my mac as server, unfortunately I have no idea how to downgrade with the following reasons:
    1. I don't create any time machine backup before so can't use that option.
    2. I have enable vault function so now the startup has hide the recovery HD icon
    3. In the Recovery mode (command + R), I only see an option to download and reinstall a fresh Mountain Lion only.
    4. I can't download and install Lion server from iTunes because this os was bundle with purchase of mac mini 2011 mid version.
    Any comments and helps here are appreciated. Thanks.

    Well, did you save a Carbon Copy Clone (http://www.bombich.com) of the Lion installation by chance? That would be the easiest to go back to and use / update. Outside of that, or having saved the original Lion installer, I know of no way to get the OS that you are after. For future referece, on a mac mini with two harddrives, I have always made a backup partition on the second drive using CCC, and schedule clone updates to that. You can't rely on TM, inmo, so something like CCC or SuperDuper is essential. Cheers,
    jigs

  • 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.

  • Unable to Troubleshoot Power Issues on Mac mini 2011

    I have been having odd and intermittent power issues with my Mac mini 2011 and could really use some help before I resign myself to taking it into an Apple Store. It's under warranty, but I now live in another country so I hope I don't need to ship it should it come down to that.
    However, I have searched this topic a lot, and not only have I tried troubleshooting it, I haven't seen any power issues with other owners of this model. That leads me to think that the power supply itself is probably OK.
    First of all, I live in China and the building I live in seems to have a questionable power supply. The air conditioner for example simply would not work and the repairman spent two hours messing around with wires inside the outlet and in the breakers. That did the trick, so I wonder if I'm simply not getting enough juice?
    Main symptoms:
    - My monitor recognizes an analog signal but will not light up (black monitor). Unplugging and replugging adaptor doesn't do anything.
    - Startup Keyboard Commands (e.g. Cmmd-R) may work, but I can't tell because the monitor won't light up. Letting the computer boot up though I can hear keyboard volume keys and such making the standard sounds. I can usually restart using the keyboard too.
    - My 2T external HD more often than not dismounts as well.
    - I can't hear any computer activity after the chime (hard drive, etc.).
    - Since I can hear the chime and there is audio feedback through the keyboard, I think that eliminates hardware problems such as logic board failure or bad RAM.
    - I can't boot even if I unplug all USB peripherals.
    - Holding down the power button (I have it set to make the computer sleep as well as shut down) often won't shut down the computer, but it seems to stay in sleep no matter how long I hold it. Unplugging the computer finally shuts it down, obviously.
    - Unplugging and waiting 5 minutes or so and powering up again doesn't seem to make any difference, nor does switching sockets, plugging directly into the wall, etc.
    Problems began about two weeks ago, got better, and then worse again. Now I'm just keeping the computer and monitor on (never sleep 24/7).
    Miraculously, after much frustration and countless restarts, suddenly the screen will turn on to reveal a fully booted system that was running all along in the background. No startup screen- the monitor just magically comes on again. Often I find that my external has unmounted, but it's no big deal to get to remount. At this stage, the Mac is still very quiet and for a while the system is sluggish, though it hops back into action in 5 or 10 minutes.
    At first I thought it was just my monitor, and though that's possible I suppose, it seems I'm just not getting enough juice. Once the monitor is on though, everything is fine: I can power it off and on with no problems. But I can't just leave my computer on forever though.
    Any help appreciated.

    Well, with the other monitor (which did not work with the mini either but worked fine on a laptop), I was able to narrow the trouble spot down to either a faulty Mini Display to VGA adaptor or a damaged port. I could determine that all the other ports (incld. the USB drive, programs, internet, etc., were all working fine behind the big black GUI all through sound feedback, so I seriously doubted it could be a supply problem or a residential electric problem.
    I took my mini and adaptor to a "Mac Shop" (reseller) here in China, and found it quite professional, just like a Mac Store. They tested my machine, and although they didn't have VGA monitors, they said I could return the new $30 USD adaptor if it didn't work. But as I'm writing this on the monitor now, the new adaptor did the trick.
    The long and short of all this is that I've read a lot about display problems with the mini and I suspect that most of these problems are adaptor related. I myself tried to save some bucks by buying a third party plug and lived and learned. I hope the Apple adaptor works like a champ, and if it doesn't, I'll know the first thing to eliiminate next time.

  • Mac Mini 2011 - Monitor Problems - Help

    My picture is not sharp... just blury. Icons, pictures, text, mostly everything is bad except high quality video files.
    I just purchased a Mac Mini 2011 second option and a Samsung TA531 monitor that arrived today. Hooked it up and to my surprise, it is blury and bad quality no matter what kind of resolution i use. I also try to text smoothening through terminal.. nothing helps.
    My setup:
    Mac Mini 2011 - second option stock
    Samsung SyncMaster T27A531
    Cable: HDMI
    After reading about this issue, some people recommends to use a DVI or VGA cable and claims that HDMI is not suitable for computer monitors, especially Samsung.
    Please, feel really sad and lost among a lot of new computer equipment that doesn't work properly

    I had the same issue and didn't want to give up my Thunderbolt port, so I opted to get a Gefen HDMI Detective Plus. What this does is make the CPU think an HDMI display is attached so that your graphics CPU 'unlocks' and full speed is back. The Gefen box can either 'learn' the code of any HDMI display in your office/home, or you can preset it as a stock 1080p display. TOTALLY solved my problem... even though it did cost $85.
    Apple needs to fix this as so many people use the MINI headless.

  • Purchase Help: iMac 2011 vs Thunderbolt Display   Mac Mini 2011

    Hello,
    I purchased Thunderbolt display with Mac mini 2011. I experienced a lot of graphic issues with Mac mini when I connected to Thunderbolt display. I exchanged Mac mini 3 times but the same result. The Thunderbolt display is working fine with MacBook Pro 2011.
    I'm going to return both Thunderbolt display and Mac mini and interested to get iMac. Is there any differences between iMac and Thunderbolt display + Mac mini 2011? i.e., in technology, release update cycle, features etc? My main intention to buy Thunderbolt display is to use with both Mini and MacBook Pro.
    Any further help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    I don't know why you are surprised at the similar sizes of the 27-inch iMac, the 27-inch Cinema Display, and the 27-inch Thunderbolt display.  The 27-inch iMac came first, and the others are "monitor-only" products that seem to use the same LCD panel(s).
    As to a current 27-inch iMac vs. a current 27-inch Thunderbolt display,
    * The iMac serves as a standalone computer, and can also serve as a dumb monitor for an external computer that has a Thunderbolt port.  When operating as a dumb monitor, the iMac only serves as a monitor; it does not offer breakout connections to USB 2.0, Firewire 800, or Gigabit Ethernet.
    * The Thunderbolt display is a dumb monitor for an external computer that has a Thunderbolt port.  It also serves as a breakout box for USB 2.0, Firewire, 800, and Gigabit Ethernet connections (which is convenient if your main machine is a laptop; you can do all of your docking with one Thunderbolt cable + one power cable).

  • ROOTIN' TOOTIN' YOSEMITE MAC MINI 2011

    Yosemite has darn near enough killed off the speed of my Mac Mini 2011 which was running along fine on Mavericks. I now get the spinning PIZZA WHEEL OF DEATH in darn near every application. Safari has become a joke where you would think I had returned to 56k modem land. I would like toknow if Apple geniuses are going to do something about this? I would not have downloaded and instaled Yosemite if I had not been encouraged to do so by Apple's Tech Specs on this page http://www.apple.com/uk/osx/how-to-upgrade/?cid=wwa-uk-kwg-mac-com, which states quite clearly Yosemite will work on:
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminium, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    Any solutions?

  • Mac Mini 2011

    Upon waking my Mac Mini (2011) using mountain lion and logging into a child's profile, it starts partially, then the beachball comes up.  The only way to do anything is to hard reboot and login.  Then it's fine.  Let it sleep and return to login hours or days later and the same thing happens.  Why?  I've recreated the profile, which then requires me to set up all the parameters and website access.  Very time-consuming.  Any suggestions.

    Hi Judy,
    And does it wake fine from other accounts?
    Open console in Applications>Utilities, check the system log for the date/time of the last problem  & the Startup right after that for clues.
    See if it's related to this...
    It also seems to be related to later OSX versions, like 10.8.5 & 10.9.x
    The 2012 macs (and later apparently) (also later OSX versions on earlier Macs can do it also), not waking normally from sleep after hours being in sleep. (noted here ...
