Mac Mini 2011 - Slow Transmit Rate Over Wifi

I just swapped over my 2009 mac mini for a new model, and the wifi performance was below average (I use it as a media centre streaming videos over the wifi network to my tv)  The 2009 model would stream 1080p files with no problem at all - but the 2011 model couldnt handle it....
I called apple support (after formatting and re-installing lion, and trying every known "improving wifi performance" tactic').  They advised that it sounds like a hardware fault, so I took it back to my retailer, and got a brand new one...
The new one worked awesome!  streaming 1080p files with ease...
Then today... its started glitching again, and when checking the stats of the wifi connection.. I have a tramsmit rate of 14..
Does this problem relate to a software issue with lion?  What is happening?? I didnt change anything.. One day - Perfect... Next day - Bad...
Help!

It will help to analyse the problem if you do another test. Or a couple of tests.
First test for WAN speed issues.
Can you please do a test with ethernet plugged into the AE instead of the modem.
Wireless off and see if you get full speed as per the modem router.. or you are suffering the same slowdown.
If you clearly get the same speed here as you get via wireless, no need for the second test. The issue is not wireless at all, it is the WAN speed of the AE which can be problematic.
Second test for Wireless Speed issues.
Please do a file transfer in your local LAN to another device eg another computer plugged in by ethernet to one over wireless.. You do want just one wireless link.. so you are testing transfer speed over the wireless.. copy just one large file, like an OS update.. 1GB or so. You can open the activity monitor to track the progress.. you can even post a screenshot of the transfer graph which can be helpful.
So you have between the two tests checked the WAN and the Local LAN speeds. With this we can more easily figure out the bottle neck.
Please do use b for bits.. all network speeds are in bits .. B for Bytes.. which is file sizes etc. 8bits in a Byte.. but network speeds and file transfer speeds we need to be clear in using consistent terms.

  • Mac Mini 2011 slow down after updating to Yosemite

    Hi all!
    After updating my Mac Mini (half 2011) from Mavericks to Yosemite, it became extremely slow and unresponsive. I have to wait a lot of time for apps to open and commands, like clicking a button, to be executed executed. File Vault, that I read is a common cause of slow down, is NOT enabled.
    What should I do? In these cases, for my Windows PC, I insert the OS DVD and format: what's the equivalent operation for a Mac?
    Thank you in advance for your help!

  • Syncing an Mac Mini with a Macbook Pro Over Wifi

    I'm setting up my new office and I've got a Mac Mini I've had for several years and a Macbook Pro that I use at home.  I travel quite a bit and it would be really nice to have my Mac Mini and my Macbook synced.
    I'd like to work all day on my Mac Mini, then when I get home, be able to experience the exact same desktop on my Macbook as I had on my Mac Mini.
    Is there a way to get the two syncing to the same backup?  That way if I edit a document at the office, I can back the computer up, go home, sync my Macbook and continue working on that same document.  I could then back it up and in the morning, again continue my work on the Mac Mini.
    Currently I'm taking my Macbook Pro back and forth.  It's really getting worn out with all the travel.

    Use SugarSync (you can sync any folders, or all of them)

  • WiFi slow when running Windows 7 on Mac Mini (2011)

    Hi,
    I have just bought a Mac Mini (2011) and used Boot Camp for installing Windows 7 as well. However I am experiencing some problems with the WiFi when running Windows. The speed is less than 10% of what it should be. I have tried connecting a network cable and then everything is running fine. When booting into OS X Lion there are no problems with running WiFi. I have tried to rightclick on the network adapter and select update drivers but it says that the driver installed is up to date.
    Any ideas?

    Apparently it was a router issue. When I connected my old Cisco router as an extended access point both the Mac OS and Windows session connected as supposed to. I made a factory reset of the router provided by my ISP, configured it again and the problem apparently seemed to be solved.
    However overnight the problem occured again - I swithed the router off and on again and was able to connect. I noticed in the DHCP log that when running Mac OS the computername "My-Mac-Mini" is sent to the router with the MAC address of the network card - when running Windows it is the machine name I entered during the Windows installation. Not sure if that is confusing the router from my ISP but after I changed the computername in Mac OS the connection seems stable.

  • 2011 Mac Mini running slow

    ASC:
    I have tried everything I can find on the web, as well as everything that I can think of, to try and fix my issues currently happening with my Mac Mini 2011. Anymore, it can take up to thirty-seconds for application to open. I also have unresponsive applications and severe lag to the point of where I can hear the hard-drive constantly revving whereas it used to not. Again, I have tried everything: reinstalled applications, deleted cache, repaired Permissions, etc. My Mac Mini used to run great, and I know it still should. Please someone assist me.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. It will be slow, but application launches should not take as long as you say they do.
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Intermittent slow or no boot mac mini 2011

    Hi i have a mac mini 2011 base model, i upgraded the hdd to a crucial m4 128gb rev 0009, the ram from 2gb to 8gb and got a second hdd cable and put the original 500gb as second drive space (after erasing partitions and reformatting via usb). all was working well for a couple of months then all of a sudden it started to take 5+ mins to boot or not at all, just apple logo with spinning gear.
    if i force power off and try again 9/10 it will boot fine second or third time (actually booting in 3-5 gear spins) but i have to do this all the time, it will not boot on first try.
    first i tried resetting the PRAM and SMC no joy.
    then i tried doing a recovery and erased the drive (SSD) and reinstalled Lion, still no joy
    then i went into apple hardware diagnostics no errors repoted, i also did a memtest and hdd test (using remember and smart utility respetivly), also no errors
    then i changed the ram back to the original 2gb still no joy
    additional:
    once the system has managed to boot it works flawlessly and very fast, if at this point i reboot or shutdown and power back on within 2 mins it boots up perfectly fine, if it is left off for more than say 10 mins i have to start the whole process of boot, wait 2-3mins (apple logo and spinning gear) hold power down until off and power back up (will boot after 2-3 times of doing this, then no problems until next time)
    Please can ANYONE help me!!!!!! im at my wits end, im very tech savvy so any technicial answers / suggestions are fine.
    i do hope someone can help!!

    I had a 'spinning beachball' issue with my Crucial M4 2.5" 256GB SSD, and found the following fix to be firmware related.  NOTE: Do NOT update Firmware to the most recent version released 04/2012 (000F).  Make sure to have your SSD backed up prior to update, unless of course you're trying to re-load.
    ========
    The SSD firmware version is stored on the SSD itself so the upgrade does not need to be carried out on the system the SSD will be used in. The easiest way to upgrade the firmware is by connecting the SSD to a system that has a CD drive.
    If this is not possible, you can follow these steps to create a bootable USB flash drive and upgrade the firmware from that.
    1. Connect an empty USB flash drive
    2. Download rEFIt-syslinux from the link below. This will allow your USB drive to be recognized as a startup volume by the Mac.
    http://blog.io101.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/rEFIt-Syslinux.dmg_.zip
    3. Mount the dmg. This will mount two volumes called 'rEFIt' and 'SYSLINUX'
    4. Open a Terminal and take a note of which volume is which with the command <diskutil list>
    e.g. /dev/disk1 for the USB drive and /dev/disk2 for the dmg
    5. Unmount (NOT eject) both volumes, after you have confirmed the two new volumes (e.g. disk1 & disk2):
    diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk1
    diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk2
    You should get a message saying you were successful
    6. Copy the dmg onto the USB drive:
    dd if=/dev/disk2 of=/dev/disk1 bs=1m
    You should get a message detailing the number of records in and out and number of bytes transferred
    7. Eject both:
    diskutil eject /dev/disk1
    diskutil eject /dev/disk2
    8. Unplug and plug back in the USB drive and mount the SYSLINUX volume
    9. Download the firmware version 0309 for the M4 SSD here:
    http://edge.crucial.com/firmware/m4/0309/Crucialm4_0309.zip
    10. Unzip and mount the firmware ISO and go into the folder BOOT, then ISOLINUX
    11. Copy the contents into the SYSLINUX volume
    12. Delete the existing file syslinux.cfg and rename ISOLINUX.CFG to syslinux.cfg
    13. Reboot your mac and hold the option key to select a boot volume and select the eEFIt volume, then choose the "Boot legacy OS SYSLINUX' option
    14. Follow the instructions to update the firmware.

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • 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.

  • When I connect my Mac Mini 2011 with Lion to a TV via HDMI and an earphone cable is plugged in, it´s not possible to choose sound out via hdmi, as opposed to connection via minidisplay port. Anybody knows how to fix this?

    When I connect my Mac Mini 2011 with Lion to a TV via HDMI and an earphone cable is plugged in, it´s not possible to choose sound out via hdmi, as opposed to connection via the minidisplay port. Anybody knows how to fix this?

    Was just on the phone with Apple about this.
    The solution was as follows for me anyway...
    Go to your Finder
    Choose the Go Menu
    Choose Computer
    Choose your Macintosh Hard Drive
    Choose your "Library" Folder
    Choose the "Preferences" Folder
    There should be a folder called "Audio"
    Move that whole folder to the trash
    Empty the Trash
    Restart from the Apple Menu
    When you are back up and running;
         Choose System Preferences from the Apple Menu
         Choose Sound
          In the output tab you should now be able to make the HDMI "Sticky"
          Enjoy your sound over HDMI and no more dirty knees or broken backs unplugging the desktop speakers!

  • 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?

  • External iSight - no sound with Mac mini 2011

    Hello,
    I'm trying to connect External iSight camera to Mac mini 2011 (using FW400 -> FW800 adapter cable) but I can't get microphone sound to work...
    When I open system prefs>sound>input, it shows iSight is connected but system will freeze for a while (like it's looking for iSight) on openning.
    When I try open Skype video preferences, it shows me video from iSight with no problem, but sound doesn't work.
    Can anyone give me some advice?

    You're welcome.
    (1) Your new info indicates to me that there is probably something wrong with your cable(s), adapter(s), Mac mini's Firewire, or your external iSight itself.
    You can eliminate most of these by troubleshooting with other cables, adapters, Firewire devices, and Macs as suggested in the info from my earlier link.
    If no Firewire device you test on your Mac works with any connecting cable, resetting the Mac's Firewire bus may help. Apple's "how-to" article has been archived in this link.  (This link may be slow to load.)
    If you have trouble displaying the archive page, here is the pertinent extract on how to reset the bus:
    ... If the issue persists, try these steps:
    Shut down the computer.
    Disconnect all devices and all other cables, except the keyboard and mouse cable(s).
    Disconnect the computer from the power outlet and wait for 3 to 5 minutes.
    Plug the computer back in and turn it on.
    Reconnect the device(s) (one at a time if there is more than one) and test. Test with each port if you have more than one.
    If an individual third-party device leads to the issue, contact the manufacturer for more information and further assistance.
    NOTE: Some users who try FW reset forget that "all" cables include the power cable.  Disconnecting power is important.
    (2) If your troubleshooting shows that your external iSight itself is the problem, you can decide whether you want to have your old serviced.  If you do not have access to a local Apple-Authorized Service Provider, you can obtain cost and Apple contact info from http://www.apple.com/support/isight/service/
    (3) Rather than spend more money on your old iSight, you may decide to consider a new webcam.  A new Mac compatible USB connected cam with a current warranty will be a faster fix, and it may be lower cost.  Some examples are at http://mac-compatible-web-cam.com. Moreover, compatible USB connected cams are not subject to all the same conflicts that sometimes effect external iSight.
    Unless you already have a separate microphone for your mini, you can decide whether to buy separate mic or look for a new camera that has an inbuilt mic.

    Podcasts from Current Tv, since three weeks prior to the Nov 2012 election have had a url problem and cannot be played on my mac mini 2011 with 10.8.2 and the latest Itunes? anyone know why> ? I am in contact with Itunes now and they wanted screenshots of the problem, I can get these current tv episodes with a vpn and my isp says they are not blocking them, but i was surprised that prior to the election they were blocked, ?
    I also can get them on my Android Samsung Galaxy note 2 with no problem but on the Macmini cannot>/? I Unsubscribed and subscribed many times but still no luck, any ideas? I am waiting for the senior advisor to get back to me on this issue. I am in THailand now where the problem is happening and as I said the ISP says they do not block any podcasts.I also do not want it on my iphone 5, so I have to wait and see why the mac mini is not getting it.

    I seem to have fixed it by putting <div  class="clearfloat"></div> after the navigation bar?

  • Hello, I am interested in buying this week of a mac mini 2011 with intel graphics HD3000 but I'm not sure it looks good with my Samsung SyncMaster933HD monitor. How would it look better with the hdmi-dvi connection or a built-in display adapter port-vga

    Hello, I am interested in buying this week of a mac mini 2011 withintel graphics HD3000 but I'm not sure it looks good with my Samsung SyncMaster 933HD monitor. How would it look better.... with the hdmi-dvi connection built in, buying a HDMI 1.3 cable and HDMI-making or buying an adapter hdmi display port - vga and connected through the port thunderbolt
    Thanks

    I originally set up my mini with the included HDMI -> DVI adaptor to connect to a Sycmaster monitor. The graphics were very good.

  • How can I control my my mac mini with my macbook air (no wifi)?

    How can I control my my mac mini with my macbook air (no wifi)? Also...what is the best method (less lag) for screen sharing? 
    I own a mac mini Quad Server 2.0 i7 and I use it for audio production.  It's great but I need to travel with it. I was hoping some form of screen sharing could be useful using the macbook air to control the mac mini.  Therefore, I'd be using the stronger processor of the mac mini but would still be using the keyboard and trackpad from the air. 
    My two problems: 
    1.  I can't depend on wifi to make this happen. Wifi is not always available when travleing.  What would be the best way to configure a LAN connection?
    2.  The less lag the better for screen sharing.  Which apps are fastest?
    Thanks in advance.

    Both of your devices have WiFi built in. Here is Apple Support's solution:
