Mac mini disaster after iTunes upgrade
Hi,
I've got an Intel mac mini. The hardware test shows it to be a Macmini2,1 with a Intel Core 2 Duo, 1.83GHz, 2MB L2 and 1 gig memory. No hard drive info shown.
The short version of the story is I can no longer boot my machine. It makes it past the grey apple screen and then sits on the blank blue screen forever. Booting in Verbose mode gives me lots of text which means little to me but mostly seems okay. This is followed by blank blue screens alternating with black screens with ominous messages in which something called 'importer' and Loginwindow.app are featured prominently, with the word 'crash' strewn about quite a bit.
The lead-in:
I recently upgraded to iTunes 8 after being prompted to do so by the auto update feature. I can't remember for sure whether I did it before or after the upgrade, but I changed the sharing name for this computer and the external drive where my iTunes library is stored. After the install I tried closing iTunes and got the spinning pie. I tried to access Force Quit from the apple icon but it didn't respond. I occasionally could get iTunes calm enough to access it's menu but it didn't have the Quit iTunes menu option listed, which I found really odd. It wasn't greyed out, it just wasn't there. Ultimately I hit the power switch and it hasn't worked since. I've tried various key combinations on start up, including the pram and nvram ones. I tried booting from the install CD but it says Mac OS X cannot be installed on this computer.
Anyone with any tips or fixes would be a hero in my book.
Thanks,
Mike

You don't go to the install screen.
Boot into the DVD and after the language screen, top left is a menu. In menu, under Utilities, select disk utility and repair HD and permissions.

Feb 6, 2015, 08:20:10 PM Self test - passed
Feb 6, 2015, 07:49:11 PM /Users/[redacted]/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/DashlaneAgent_2015-02-06-19491 1_[redacted].crash1. 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 it 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. See, for example, this discussion.
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. Try to test under conditions that reproduce the problem, as far as possible. For example, if the computer is sometimes, but not always, slow, run the test during a slowdown.
You may have started up in "safe" mode. 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 and start typing the name.
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, 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, a series of lines will appear in the Terminal window like this:
[Process started]
Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
The results are on the Clipboard.
Please close this window.
[Process completed]
The intervals between parts won't be exactly equal, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
Wait for the final message "Process completed" to appear. If you don't see it within about ten minutes, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, press the key combination control-C or command-period to stop it. Then go to the next step.
12. When the test is complete, or if you stopped it because it was taking too long, 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 may not agree with them.

2008 Mac Mini Crashes after ram upgrade
I just upgraded my Ram from 1 to 2 GB on my Mac Mini Intel Core 2 Duo and it was a bad stick so I reaplaced it and it works great but I was typing something in to Firefox to search it and my screen ram multicolored line and a popup came up but I didnt see it because of the lines so I did a hard shutoff and started it back up and it is runing fine. I am still scared to use it because of the crash. Anyhelp?
Hi Zeke,
Open console in Applications>Utilities, check the system log for the date/time of the last problem & the Startup right after that for clues. -
Unstable Mac Mini 2011 after ram upgrade
I put in 8GB kit ram from Corsair. Every specific things is matching with Apple's requirement on ram upgrade. I got Corsair 8GB KIT DDR3 SO-DIMM, 1333Mhz. The first boot with the new ram was fine but after 10 minutes of normal using (Safari, Spotify) and testing open Photoshop CS5 it crashed.
I shut down the system and tried to take off the rams the put it in again just to make sure that they're there perfectly. Second boot, everythings seems work well but after a while, maybe 20 minutes, Safari crashed and a "crash log" is sending to Apple. Happened the same with Spotify, Photoshop when it was open. I couldn't reopen the programs so I did another reboot.
The third reboot, seems fine until 1h30min the whole system crashed, the computer is rebooting by itself and showing a message of "something is wrong with the system" so it needed a reboot.
And Safari crashed once again while I wrote this.
I hope someone can help me solve the problem. I'm running the lastest version of Lion Mountain (10.8.2), 2.5Ghz i5 mid 2011 Mac mini.I have used Corsair RAMs on multiple Macs with
a lot of success (running a 16 gig on a 2011 Mini Server
I am currently typing this on). It may just be you got a bad
one. It happens. Depending on where you purchased
it should be no issue replacing.
You should check though to see which is bad. Put
both of the old RAM in to make sure things still work
as before. It is possible something else may be wrong.
If all is well, then swap out with one new module at a
time and see how it works. It may be just one module
(most likely). -
Mac book crashes after Itunes upgrade
My Mac book will not boot now after upgrading to I-tunes 8. Has anyone else experienced this? What have you done to fix?
absolutely! It happened to me when I updated Firefox, and I was able to correct it. Try holding CommandOption+PR all at the same time while booting up. The "ding" sound when you boot up will repeat while holding the buttons. I believe you want to hear the "ding" sound 3 times then release all 4 keys. This resets something known as "PRAM" which fixed it for me the first time. Since then, I updated to Itunes 8 and Quicktime 7 and now my laptop will not boot at all. I tried resetting the "PRAM" again and got nowhere. Let me know if you solved your issue.

- Right after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key
- Release the Shift key when you see a grey Apple sign and the progress bar below this sign

After Itunes upgraded to latest version 11.0.2.26 Apple TV (1st gen) does not show up anywhere in Itunes
I have the same problem. It was working fine up until the last update for iTunes 11.0.2
Here's the details:
I have an Apple TV - first Gen and up until a couple of weeks ago, was regularly playing sync'd iTunes music and videos through it on a daily basis.
I see other devicess showing up in the "Devices" list in the left panel of iTunes (such as iPad, iPhone, etc.)
AppleTV used to be there consistently, then disappeared upon update to 11.0.2
Apple TV also does not show up in the devices tab under the Preferences window.
I have tried multiple suggestions on the support forum but none have worked.
Apple TV is able to access the network, is on the same network as the iMac with iTunes library connected. Both are connected to network via ethernet cable (not wifi). Both are able to access the internet (apple tv plays movie prieviews and gets updates). Using the Terminal app, I am able to ping the apple TV's IP number from the iMac and get a successful return.
Both have latest software downloads.
I have tried cold-booting the apple TV, resetting the router, and verified in the router device list that both imac and appleTV are listed as active, un-blocked connections.
I don't intend to buy an Apple TV 2nd gen or later (since I bought this one and it's not working now due to software update, what guarantee that a later model won't generate the same problem later.
One last wrinkle, I have a 2 year old and a 5 year old who are jonesing hard for their "dance party" fix.
Have you ever wronged a two year old?
It is NOT pretty.

Mac Mini lagging after upgrading to Mavericks
Upgraded Mac mini to Mavericks. System before was running great with no lag time and fast with the internet along with different applications, email, uploading photos, no problem. After upgrading to Mavericks noticed lag times in logging into different applications, browsers, email and definitely uploading photos. Did a speed check on four different sites and all were over the 15mps up and 1 down with my internet provider. Before I had 4 up and 1 down with my internet provider before provider upgraded everyone to the 15 up and 1 down, it was fast so no problems before. Any suggestions before I drive to Des Moines for a Genius bar appointment? Thanks much appreciated.
Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select

Mac mini unusable after upgrade to 10.5.6
I upgraded a Tiger 10.4.11 Mac mini to Leopard using the 10.5.6 DVD.
After the upgrade, the computer is so slow it is unusable. Spotlight it indexing but that does not seem to be the cause of the slowdown. I checked the system log, and it shows "memberd" is crashing continuously.
I used launchctl to remove memberd from the launch list and the computer works normally again.
How can I prevent memberd from being launched every time I restart the computer? What could be starting it?If memberd is constantly crashing, there's something else wrong with your system that is causing it to do so.
Simply stopping memberd isn't a solution.
Have you tried the usual troubleshooting techniques of running Disk Utility to make sure your hard drive verifies OK, and running a "Repair Permissions?"
