Mac mini bluetooth and safari problems

I have done research on the boards,and so far haven't found a solution so i decided to make my own discussion.
I have a 2009 mac mini that has run fine until this last month.When comeing out of sleep, the bluetooth magic mouse doesn't work. When i plug in a regular mouse to get me to my destop, everything in the top right toolbar is missing (adobe icon, time machine icon, bluetooth icon, wireless airport bars, and date and time) the search icon is still there, but if you scroll the mouse towards it, i get the not respinding beach ball.... if i go to system preferences, I get the not responding ball of doom as well... If i go to safari, it says i am not connected to the internet, even though when i do a network check, it says everything is up and running, If I go to restart, it just stays on the white screen with the loading circle unil i have to restart by holding in the button.....after the reset, everytihing works fine till i put the computer in sleep again (or logout of my name) .......
I read that there are bluetooth problems with the mac mini of 2009, but this kind of sounds like more than that.. this hasn't happened before until i updated to LION... but sometimes it sounds like the mini is making a faint "squeaking" sound when it is trying to process things.. this doesn't happen often though... the mini is only 2 years old,almost 3, i can't imigine it dying soo soon... any ideas??? any help would be appreciated... thanks-bruce

problem solved. Replaced key board, mousse and changed brands of USB bluetooth adaptor, which is now a D-Link brand I bought from an Apple store. Works like a champ.

New Nvidia Driver ver 260 for Mac Mini 2010 and HDMI problems.

So this is the first release from Nvidia that is installable "out of the box" directly from Nvidia. Unfortunately, I'm now running into problems with getting the resolution to scale on my HDMI connected HDTV.
When I go into Nvidia properties and select "Adjust desktop size and position", I'm only give 4 options to change the scaling. Unlike the old Bootcamp version which had an option to manually adjust the screen by make the arrows fit on all sides, this new version has the options of:
When using a resolution lower than my displays native resolution...
-Use NVIDIA scaling
-Use NVIDIA scaling with fixed aspect ratio
-Use my display's built-in scaling
-Do not scale
So when I set my display to 1176x664, The resolution changes, however, it still goes beyond the visible border. Changing any of the options above doesn't seem to change anything-
I'm wondering if anyone is experiencing these same issues, or knows how to remedy it?

I completely agree with your assessment for Problem #1, but here we have it.
I will try re-installing and will also double check with the drivers for the monitor. Thanks for the advice. If all else fails, I will just use parallels.

Problem with mac mini crashing and a folder icon with ?

I have a mac mini i5 and its been playing up. Randomly it will get the multicoloured spinning wheel and crash, the screen will flick on and off and then I get a white screen with a folder and a ? inside it. Anyone got any answers or solutions?

Maybe:
A flashing question mark or globe appears when you start your Mac - Apple Support
Also note the time of the crash and upon rebooting open the Console app in the Finder>Applications>Utilities folder and look for suspicious log entries at that time and post them here

Mac Mini Stolen and need to wipe data

Hi.
Our office had a Mac Mini stolen and we need to wipe the data from it. Problem is, all our Macs have been upgraded to Yosemite apart form teh one stolen and can't see it on the list within iCloud.
Is there another way we can wipe the data from iCloud on that Mac Mini?

If you can't erase by:
iCloud: Erase your device
Then you would first have to physically find the Mac in order to erase. it.

MAC MINI BLOCKED AND PASS OUT THE OPENING SESSION SCREEN

Hi, i hope someone can help me.
(i'm a french user, so i'll try to write a good english)
I've a mac MINI (2006) Intel Core Solo
Mac OSX 10.4.11 Tiger
I've no problem since some days.
I'm not the usual user.
Is the problem description :
• I start my Mac mini by pressing the button.
• "dong"
• I see the apple on the screen with spiral progression, all right.
• after around 15 sec. normally, at this moment, the opening session screen must appear… (there are 2 users, one administrator [with password] and one guest without password) but it don't.
• After a brief flash between two different screens (blue-gray),
the gray screen with the apple and the spiral progression re-appear but BLOCKED.
• There are some pixels lost in disorder at the top-left of the screen (the place of the starting mouse-arrow).
• After some minutes, or when i click away (i really don't now exactly when…)
The session of the guest starting normally (with some slownesses)
• I've a AirPort connexion with an iMac (Leopard 10.5.5).
• I've noted that someday, my usual network connexion have been changed (on the mac mini only), and my Mini tryed to connect with the connection of a neighbor.
As if this connexion have been selected by default.
•• I've tryed to restart, close the session etc.
•• I've lunched the disc utility to verify the HD…
•• And finally, I've passed out the problem with changing the account parameters :
Open the session automaticaly as a guest. Passed out but not resolved !!
••• THE PROBLEM STILL HERE, but for a few seconds only
(blocking lasts only two seconds).
So, can someone help me ?
What type of problem can it be ?
I hope someone has allready resolved it !
Thanks for reading.

Hi you, i love your post…
So, i suggest you :
- In the account parameters (in préf. sys.)
- Delete the guest account created.
- Specify start automatically as "your Admin. name"
- Restart your computer.
- Go one more time in the Account param. pane
- Create a new guest account and modify some settings (such as display of the file for users in opening session screen etc.)
- Specify automatic start with guest
- Restart you Mac Mini.
Of course you have note that i've solved (for the moment only ?) the problem.
But i must say it for others, if someone has the same pb.
When my Mac Mini was Blocked, in fact, the computer seems all right but the display not. As the opening session screen was behind this static grey-apple-screen.
In addition, i've forgotten that there is an other screen with
"Démarrage de Mac OS X en cours…"
So, when i've unplugged my screen during the blocked screen,
and re-plugged it, all returns right : i can see my opening session screen…
So, if some one can tell me what is the problem exactly…
I'm curious.
So, at this moment, i've started my Mini once time only.
I hope all stay right in future…
Thanks so munch to me for my response.

Download iOS 8 once to Mac Mini Server and upgrade all iOS devices in the network

Is it possible to download iOS8 only once to the Mac Mini Server and use it to upgrade all eligible iOS devices (iPhones and iPads) in the same LAN?
I tried the following methods and they are just not working:
1. Connect an iPads Mini with Retina Display to the iTunes on Mac. I chose Download Only. Once downloaded the iPad Software Upgrade, I upgraded the connected iPad to iOS8. Then I connect another iPad (used to be on another Mac) to the same iTunes. I had to download iOS 8 again. It's not using the same downloaded iOS 8 file. (I did the same thing for an iPhone. Same result.)
2. I turned on the Caching Service (not Software Upgrade Service, i.e. for Mac Software) on the Mac Mini Server from the Server app. I then repeat step 1 above and got the same result. It seems that the Caching Service does not cache the iOS 8 Software Upgrade like what it does for other apps. (I think I may need to use some Apple Scripts but I have no such experience.)

Yes, it should work that way. However, I was told by an Apple Support that there was a problem and thus Server 3.2.1 was unable to do so.
I paid for Server 4 and it better provides the expected Caching Services for both iOS Software and Mac Software through the iOS and Mac App Stores.

How can I bandle Mac-mini Ipad and Iphone all with the same usser name and password

I alway's have problem with my ID AND PASSWORD also I want to bandle my mac-mini Ipad and Iphone with the same password and usser name how do I do tyhis?

Hola amigo
If you wish to use the same Apple ID for all your Apple devices then you need to set them up that way from the start. If you did not use the same Apple ID for them all then you would need to erase the iOS devices by returning them to the factory settings and starting over as if they were new.
However, content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to download or update your content bought with one Apple ID with a different Apple ID. So you would need to decide if your are abandoning extra Apple IDs that you may have created and the content that you acquired with that Apple ID.

I have a 2010 mac mini referbished and i dont see the Disk Utilitiy in the Utilities on the install disk. Is that because it is refurbished?

I have a 2010 mac mini referbished and i dont see the Disk Utilitiy in the Utilities on the install disk. Is that because it is refurbished?

The software that comes with your refurbished Mini should be identical to that which comes with a new Mini. Disk Utility should be in Applications > Utilities. Alternatively, choosing Utilities from the Go menu at the top of the finder windownwill take you directly to the Utilities folder.

Can i connect my iMac to a mac mini (wirelessly) and control the mac mini display on my TV?

Can i connect my iMac to a mac mini (wirelessly) and control the mac mini display on my TV?

Look up "screen sharing" in help
You can control your mini (which I am assuming you are hooking to your TV) complete from your iMac.
After you set up screen sharing, you can go to the finder, under the "go" menu choose "Connect to server" and then browse. Choose your mac mini's name, and look for the "Screen Sharing" button.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Sharing.
Select the Screen Sharing checkbox.
To specify who can share your screen, select one of the following:
All users:
Select this if you want to allow any user with a user account on your computer to share your screen.
Only these users:
Select this if you want to restrict screen sharing to specific users.Click Add at the bottom of the Users list and select a user from Users & Groups (accounts you have set up in Users & Groups preferences), Network Users (users on your network), or your Address Book. Or click New Person and enter a name and password to create a sharing account. Then select that user from the list, and then click Select.
Click Computer Settings and set the following options:
Anyone may request permission to control screen:
Select this to allow anyone on your network to request to share your screen.
VNC viewers may control screen with password:
Select this and enter a password that VNC viewer applications can enter in order to control your screen.It’s recommended that you not set a password if you only share this computer’s screen using the built-in screen sharing viewer in Mac OS X.

I set up Raid on my Mac Mini Server and lost my Server software. It is not listed in my "purchased" apps. How can I get it w/o having to purchase it? Will my serial # be enough to show it is a mini server and under warrantee be enough to get it back?

If it's not listed in Purchases, check that it's hidden, and if so, unhide it > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928 After that, go to Purchases and download OS X Server.
If you can't download it, contact with the Mac App Store support > http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact

Forgot Your Account Password
For Snow Leopard and earlier
     Mac OS X 10.6- If you forget your administrator password
For Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
     When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
     Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow
     instructions in the dialog window that will appear.
     Or see Reset a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Password and
     OS X Lion- Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
If you cannot do the above then try this:
1. Boot to Safe Mode by restarting and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-S keys until a black screen with white type appears.
2. At the prompt, type the following commands pressing return after each command line:
     /sbin/fsck -yf
     If you do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message then repeat this command until
     you do. If after seven tries you still do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message,
     then the system is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.
     mount -uw /
     cd /private/var/db/netinfo
     mv local.nidb local.old
     rm ../.AppleSetupDone
     shutdown -r now
The second-to-last command above will cause OS X to think that the operating system is newly installed, and when the new owner starts up the computer it will send him/her to the startup wizard where he/she can start a new user without reinstalling.
This last method does not actually change a password. It simply removes the user accounts and lets you create an initial admin account as if the computer were new out of the box.
How to reset the OS X password without a startup CD:
Reboot into Single-user Mode. Enter the following and press RETURN after each command line
   1. Type fsck -fy
   2. Type mount -uw /
   3. Type passwd <username>
I have never tried this method myself.

HT4889 Trying to migrate from Mac-mini Tiger to Mac-mini Lion and Migration Assistant cannot find my Firewire, 400 to 800, "T" disk although it show up in the new Mac's computer folder. Help

Trying to migrate from Mac-mini Tiger to Mac-mini Lion and Migration Assistant cannot find my Firewire, 400 to 800, "T" disk although it shows up in the new Mac's computer folder. It seems that Mac-mini Tiger is as it should be and the firewire cable is OK. Something about the Migration Assistant is being missed, but I have no idea what it is.
Help

Addendum: I read on a post here (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=420169) about removing some kext files in order to trick OSX into thinking that there were no FireWire ports.
I followed the instructions and removed from /System/Library/Extensions/ the following files:
IOFireWireSerialBusProtocolTransport.kext
IOFireWireAVC.kext
IOFireWireFamily.kext
IOFireWireIP.kext
IOFireWireSBP2.kext
I restarted and BAM...Snow Leopard booted crazy fast and the mouse and keyboard worked instantly.
The System Profiler says "No FireWire ports were found."
So this tells me that the FW port is probably the culprit and is messing up the installation.
So how do I hack the Mountain Lion installer and tell it to ignore the FW port, which is obviously quite dead? Or is there something I can do to the Base system that is similar?

Mac is dragging and Safari is slow after OS X Yosemite install

Wow! I just downloaded OS X Yosemite for my Macbook Air and I can tell a difference right away: my Mac is dragging and Safari is going slow as well. When I switch screens with three fingers you can see right away that my Mac became slower. Also, opening to Full View is also dragging. Why is this?!?! I am pretty sure it is because I downloaded OS X Yosemite I hope there will be an update soon that has fixed this bug!!! A slow Mac is completely annoying. I loved the way everything was completely smooth with OS X Mavericks. I should not have updated my Mac. The display looks horrible anyways.

Hi ..
Not enough free storage space can slow your Mac down.
Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage. Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
For Safari, delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
