Mac Mini blank white screen. Did Cmd+R reprograms but doesn't leave the white screen!!
Mac Mini blank white screen. Did Cmd+R but doesn't leave the white screen! I tried Cmd+Option+R, this allows reprogramming but after 34 or so minutes it remains in the white screen! Any ideas?
Unfortunately, the white screen will not go away! Therefore, I do not have the option to the Disk Utility!! I wish I could! I would have already erased the disk and reinstalled the OS. Side note here is that an Apple Fan told me that she and her husband had a similar scenario with a new iMac!! Turned out (after 3 attempts by Apple Techs to fix) to have to replace it! They related to me that there was an issue with the connections between the Logic Board and the Hard Drive! The hard drive got burnt out and so did the Logic board on different occasions. I have been a PC user for years until I got tired of all the maintenance and wanted to try Mac. So many thrilled fans claiming they never get issues as often as a PC. Well, here I am six weeks after buying the Mac Mini having issues...I guess a machine is a machine, is a machine! I was thrilled with the Lion OS and all the interaction I was having with it! I truly thought that this was a highly superior computer. I expected quality control to have equally a superiority that one would expect from an Apple product. It could be that this unit is a lemon! It happens! Because I also have iPad and iPhone that have given me the best performance ever!! So I hope that I will someday see the same from this Mac Mini that is just over 40 days old!
If you know another way to get thru the white screen to get to the Disk Utility...I would love to try it. In any case, I am waiting for a call back to confirm an appointment date and time to visit a Mac store for repair.

Do you have a Time Machine backup or clone? If not,
all is lost if you have in fact deleted your OSX partition
and you will have to do a reinstall from Recovery HD
and install all else. -
There is a problem on my mac mini. I install windows7 in my mac then i cancelled the installation did not finish..after that i saw the black screen on my monitor untill now the monitor is black..
It maybe trying to boot from the incomplete install.
Try starting your Mac while holding down the Option key, it should then list all the available boot drives including the Mac OS X one. Boot from the Mac one and then you can wipe the damaged PC one or set the Mac to stay booting in to OS X. -

No, sounds like when you dropped it an cracked the screen it may have also damaged the logic board or the repair person damaged a cable.

So, I bought a Mac mini the other day- an "open box" item from Best Buy (Mid 2011, i5 processor, 2GB of RAM running 10.8)
Anyhow, it was working fine all day, i had transfered all my itunes library over to the new Mac mini from my MacBook Pro, and put the programs I wanted onto the mac mini. (Including plug-ins etc.) It was working fine, even with 2GB of RAM.
Anyhow, it started to get kind of sluggish, so, I closed all the programs (I assumed this was because it has 2GB of RAM, and I had been pushing it pretty hard all day), and checkd "About this MAC" Low and behold, it said only one RAM card was in, and it was a 1GB card. Well, that explains the eventual sluggishness. Further though, I think it means that once of the RAM slots is messed up.
Problem A) One of the RAM slots/cards is not working properly.
Problem A.5) I actually have two 2GB sticks of RAM that I pulled out of my 2011 MBP which will work, so, my plan is to upgrade to that RAM once I get the RAM card/slot information squared away.
When I opened up the case to try to switch cards, or address Problem A.5), I noticed that one of the clips for the Mac Mini's RAM was broken. Perhaps this is why one of the RAM cards was not being read?
Problem B) One of the clips that holds the top RAM card in place is broken.
After I had seen this, (I didn't actually do anything to the RAM, since I know Apple doesn't cover anything if you broke it, so I want to be able to say that I actually didn't touch anything- my guess is the people at Best Buy may have broken it?) I reconnected the Mac Mini, and was going to get the email and calendar set up, as that was all that was left to get set up. Oops.
After reconnecting, restarting, everything a few times, the same problem presented itself.
Problem C) even checking all connections, thoroughly, etc, the Mac Mini chimes on, fans start whirring, etc, but the display reads "no signal." Tried reconnecting the display, disconnecting, etc, nothing worked. I knoe the display works because I hooked it up to my MBP and it worked fine.
So, I've got a few issues going on, and an appointment at the Apple Store in Providence, RI today at 7:45 PM.
But, does anyone know anything about any of these issues? So I may be able to try to tackle some of them on my own before going in? Or, what to expect from the Apple store?
Thanks guys- any help is greatly appreciated!
-AndyHi,
my guess is the people at Best Buy may have broken it?)
My guess is since it was Open Box, somebody bought it, broke it trying to replace RAM, then returned it as they no longer wanted it.
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), if that doesn't work, try a Verbose boot, CMD+v
But the new Mini's use RAM as VRAM, so I think it's the RAM/slot issue -
hello , ive reset my iPhone 5 and the option i selected was the one where all you content gets removed as i wanted , but now my screen has gone black and all that appears is the white circular loading sign which keeps spining. it won't stop ? help?! im not able to access my iphone becasue of this and i dont know what to do

Hi! I´m having problems with showing video files in Qlab on my Macbook Air. It started suddenly. Consulted a sound/video technician who told me to "blow out" my Mac. Was told to use cmd+r when restarting. Is this the right way to clean up my Mac? And is it likely that some kind of bug is causing problems for Qlab to show video files? I´ve already tried with a bunch of different video files and sometimes Qlab plays them and sometimes not. I need the Qlab playlist for a theatre show and only have a week until showtime so starting to really worry. Is there anyone out there who can help?
Your Mac runs maintenance in the background for you.
Command + R gives you access to restore, repair, or reformat the drive using OS X Recovery
No idea why that was suggested.
You may have a third party video player installed that's causing an incompatibility issue.
Check these folders:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
/Library/Input Methods/
/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/ScriptingAdditions
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
~/Library/Input Methods/
~/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/ScriptingAdditions
The first four locations listed are in the root-level Library on your hard disk, not the user-level Library in your Home folder.The tilde (~) represents your Home folder.
To access the Home folder in OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and chooseGo > Library. -
In imovie '08 in the viewing screen there is a white box behind my video instead of it showing in the whole screen like it used to. Even when i try to play the movie in full screen that white box is still behind the movie. I dont know what setting I changed or why now all of a sudden this box appears. Please help if you know how to change it back. Thank you.

I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements on an older Mac...just bought Mac Mini and migrated all my files...but 4.0 Does not work....can I upgrade PSE 4.0 to PSE 13?
Yes, any version of PSE qualifies for upgrade pricing, but if you're in the US you might want to consider running the trial for now and waiting for the black friday specials, when the full version will be a lot less than the adobe upgrade price.

Mac mini iTunes crashes when music store accessess anything but music
My Mac Mini crashes whenever I try to access anything but music from the iMusic store. I can play song previews fine. However, once I try to access video or podcasts, iMusic will crash. iMusic then continues to crash as soon as the music store is connected. If I remove my iTunes Library and iTunes Music Library.xml files it reverts to the original symptoms.
iTunes always crashes at the same exact traceback statement,
here are the last few traceback lines:

I have a 25" 2.8 GHz Intel core 2 Duo working on OS X 10.8.4, within past 2 days we've had the black screen and the white screen, we are up and kicking again but I can leave the computer playing music from iTunes, but within 10 minutes the screen is back, yet the music is still playing in the background. I can't get rid of the black screen unless I force quit the computer, then it starts ok. Then the process starts all over again.
