Mac Mini freezes at startup for both mac and windows. Any Ideas?
Thanks for getting back so quickly. But, it worked. I did what you said and now it works doing a normal boot to in both Windows and Mac. I wonder what went wrong, as both operating systems didn't boot (I tried numerous times).
Anyway, thanks.

Mac mini freezes at startup showing the apple and spinning gear
Went through a software update and it prompted me to restart the computer and it has been frozen ever since on the same startup screen
Assuming you're running either Lion or Mountain Lion, restart using the Command+R keys which should boot you into the Recovery HD. From there, go into DIsk Utilities and Verify the disk. If there any errors, run the Repair. You may also want to Verify/Repair permissions while you're in there.

Data Doubler - Format for both OSX and Windows 7 to read/write?
Hello! I have a Mid-2012 MacBook Pro 13" and I've ordered the OWC Data Doubler with a 1.5TB HDD to put into the optical bay. I have a couple of questions.
1. What format should I use for the HDD to allow both my OSX and Windows 7 sides read and write to it? I have a Bootcamp partition, but if it's possible I'd like for both OSX and W7 to be able to read and write to this drive. That way, when I'm in OSX I can view iTunes and media, but if I'm in W7 I can still have the same access. That way, I don't have to worry about "Oh, I downloaded this on the windows side ... I have to figure out how to get it over to the mac side" (or vice versa). Essentially allowing the 1.5TB HDD to be a "go between" for the two.
2. This is a minor question, but will the eject button do something to the HDD if it gets pressed when the optical drive is out and the HDD/Data Doubler is in? I don't plan on pressing it, but I was wondering if I need to dig into terminal (or somewhere else) to "disable" the button or maybe just reassign it so that instead of ejecting it does some other function?
I have heard of "MacDrives" for Windows, but I haven't used it. If this is a better option (to put the HDD into Mac OS Extended Journaled and use an application to allow W7 to read/write) that's fine.
I am putting in the 1.5TB HDD. The end goal, if possible, is to allow the Windows 7 side to read/write to it. As long as it's not a "hacked together" method, I do not mind what way it's done.
Any thoughts? I appreciate it!Use Winclone for the Windows partition and CCC for the OSX partition.

Mac Mini (Core Solo 1.5GHz) won't boot. Any ideas?
My Mac Mini is hanging when I try to boot up (just sits at the grey apple screen and the progress wheel just cycles indefinitely). I've tried booting into single user mode and running fsck and the disk is fine. If I try booting in verbose mode it seems to hang with an error pertaining to the AirPort card.
I've mounted it in target mode and backed up /Library and /Users in case a nuke&pave is required and have grabbed a copy of system.log to get the error messages. Here's the entire boot sequence up to the point where it hangs:

Anyone got any ideas how I can try to fix the problem? I don't actually use the AirPort card as it's wired into my router so if there's any way I can disable it that might be useful.
In the case of a nuke&pave is there anything else I should back up besides /Library and /Users?Fixed it!
I mounted it in target mode again and manually applied the 10.5.4 combo updater ad it now boots again. -
Late 2012 Mac mini upgrade ssd - also install parallels 8 and windows 7
Late 2012 Mac mini (16gb memory) SSD install - samsung 840 pro 512 gb. I am looking to install this new SSD as possibly a dual drive setup almong with the stock HDD 500gb in order to: make the system faster (with more storage etc.), possibly use the stock drive as a backup drive and I also want to run parallels 8 with windows 7.
I have ordered the data doubler kit from Owc and am wondering exactly how to setup properly. Can I simply install new drive in the upper bay (and move stock drive to lower bay)? Then migrate the data from the stock drive then after that's complete run the setup for parallels? I am also confused as far as using trim enabler or not? I was also wondering how much space/memory is recommended for windows 7 partition?
-Thanks in advance for your suggestionsNOTE: A small number of 2012 units were shipped with the drive mounted in the upper drive bay rather than the more typical lower bay shown in this video. If you have a 2012 or later model, you will want to determine the configuration of your Mac mini's drives prior to ordering. To do this, open Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app and click on the grey drive icon at the left-edge of the window. If you see "Lower" after the "Connection ID" at the bottom-left corner of the window, you may proceed using the standard installation instructions. If you see "Upper" then you have a special configuration which will need additional components, and you will need to also refer to the Addendum video.
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/DIYIMM11D2/
Some users have reported problems with an SSD being the boot drive in the upper bay. They have not reported problems with a HD boot from either bay To avoid the problem I would move the HD (if it is in the lower bay) to the upper bay and install the SSD in the lower bay.
I allocated 64 GB for Win 7 in Parallels abd 4 GB Of 16 installed). You can change them later after you install so it is not that importent what you specify initially.
For TRIM see:

Having updated all my iOS devices to iOS 8.0 I now need to update xCode to match. I've tried several times, and on each occasion have received an "unknown error -50" message after getting about 500Mb. After this my internet connection appears to be fully occupied, and the only fix appears to be a reboot of both the iMac (2.5GHx Core i5, 4Gb RAMm OS X 10.9.5) and the router (Netgear DG834 v5, firmware 1.6.01.34) At first I thought that the error had not stopped the download, but after waiting for 30 minutes the connection was still unresponsive, though traffic was indicated as passing through but the router status page, and no additional content had been added to the download. Anyone else having a similar problem and different ideas as to fixing it?
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads 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 turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up 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 startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login 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. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -
Why is my mac mini server apparently looking for wireless while I hold option at startup?
Besides the Lion recovery partition on my Mac Mini, I have 2 partitions: One with Lion and one with Snow Leopard Server that I often boot from in order to test some things. However, it takes FOREVER at the gray screen while I hold option, until the various startup disks appear.
There is a spinning wheel next to a popup menu button, and the wireless symbol. The Mac Mini is apparently looking for wireless for some specified time, then finally gives up and says, "Ok, here are your disk partitions." This is very annoying, and I would like to know what it is, and how to turn it off. My Mini is plugged into Ethernet.
Thanks,
--ETAre there any Mount points setup or listed in Login Items?
Might try a variation of this from older OSes...
This command adds a delay, in this case 45 seconds, before displaying the Login Window.
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow StartupDelay -int 45
If the Login Window UI detects that the network servers are available when it starts, it will skip the delay, also if network servers become available before the delay expires, the Login Window UI cancels the delay and displays. -
2010 Mac Mini freezing on USB activity
A long-time Mac user client of mine bought a Mac Mini in August, It ran faultlessly until early in October when it began to freeze, most frequently when Time Machine was doing its thing with an external, USB-connected, hard drive.
Ten days I took it to an Apple dealer who ran the extended Mac Mini test suite without any hiccups. Returned from dealer and the Mini still froze, usually (always?) with USB activity.
Dealer replaced the HD and I retrieved the Time Machine backup, giving it back to the owner on Oct. 23.
No freezing for the first four days, but on Wednesday I got this message from the owner:
"Unfortunately I have to report that my computer froze on me again a few
minutes ago. I was opening (or trying to open) a Word document while the
backup was going on ... Maybe that's the problem?
I saw white streaks on the screen, and then the **** thing froze ..."
This morning (Friday) he tells me that the memory stick he also uses as a backup and to move files to an old iBook has been corrupted by the Mac mini: not readable by an original mac mini, the iBook or the new Mac Mini.
As it's a 120-mile round-trip for me, some suggestions as to where I should go from here would be welcome. One thing I am doing is taking a FireWire cable with me to connect the external Time Machine drive to see whether it really is a USB problem.Thank you, Boece, for your thoughtful comments and suggestions.
Briefly, yes it's a new aluminum mini with only Apple installed RAM without a UPS. The backup drive is a Seagate 3.5" in a generic, powered, enclosure with both USB2 and Firewire capabilities. The enclosure does not allow the drive to spin down. A hub is used, but only to connect a printer and, very occasionally a digital camera. Hadn't thought about USB cables, but might give that a shot. The client also uses a USB-based wireless keyboard and mouse. As for changes coinciding with the onset of the problems, nothing other than whatever Snow Leopard updates there were at the time.
After creating this morning's original post, I took a cable to the client's house and attached the external drive using firewire. I also detached the wireless keyboard and mouse's USB transmitter, substituting just a regular Apple keyboard and mouse. After a re-boot I ran the Time Machine backup without any signs of freezing, and I got report tonight saying that the computer is back running without issues and that Time Machine has worked without any glitches.
While I'm not at all confident that the problems have gone away, it does seem to point to a USB-related issue, but whether that's at the board level or at the cable/device level is yet to be determined. -
Mac Mini display randomly blanks for a few seconds....
The Mac Mini that I bought a few weeks ago randomly goes blank for a couple of seconds at a time (black screen). There is no regular interval between occurrences -- sometimes it can go an hour or more between "spasms," other times it may blank two or three times within a ten minute span. Occasionally, it comes back to a snowy screen, that lasts for another couple of seconds, before returning to normal.
I have searched online, and have seen this mentioned in reference to the nVidia 9400, which is the graphics adapter in this model Mac Mini. I have tried both the mini-DVI to DVI adapter, as well as the mini-display port to DVI adapter, as was suggested in one post. The occurrences are less frequent with the mini-display port to DVI adapter, but they still occur with an unacceptable frequency (if occurring at all is acceptable). I have also tried three different flat-panel monitors (Samsung, LG, and Acer), with the same results.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Does anyone know of a solution, other than returning the computer?
Thanks.Yes. This is exactly the issue I'm having. I'm both sad, and happy I'm not alone!
I added this message in another post before I found this one.
"I'm using a 27 inch ASUS LCD over DVI from the Mac Mini. It doesn't matter if I use a mini display port to DVI adapter or an HDMI to DVI adapter, the screen will randomly "Flicker" the image into a reversed color image thats slid to one side a bit. Other times it will go black for half a second randomly. And then, after a group of close together "Flickers" it will on occasion go into the "Colored static" issue like you are experiencing.
I can either power cycle the monitor or the Mac to solve the issue. I assume this solves the issue because it forces the Mac to handshake with the DVI connection again, and temporarily resolves it. Some times it will only "Flicker" one or two times a day, other times it will do it in cascades until it goes into the "Colored noise" problem again, which I have only seen a half dozen times in the last few weeks.
The Mac Mini did not do this initially, so I'm thinking it's from one of the boot camp updates? I hope it is, because that means it can be fixed with a patch."
I'll drop apple some feedback. Thanks for the link! -

I have partitioned my time capsule, as I want part of it to act as a media server for both mac and windows. However I don't know what format that I need to partition it to. I also can't make it a permanently accesible drive. I want to restore the drive to the original format (which I don't know) and start again and re-partition the drive in a format that can be used for media by both mac and PC and for time machine back-ups and make the media part of it permanetly accesible so I can add and acccess my files.
ThanksYou are mixing up a couple of things here.
The TC drive cannot be partitioned without removing it.. did you do that?
If you partition it you must use a Mac disk utility and use the HFS+ ie standard Mac format. And GUID partition table not windows type.
You can select erase disk in the airport utility.. that will take the disk back to original format. No partitions. TC is deliberately not partitioned as it is not a media server.. it is a backup device for TM. Over time .. the disk will be filled with TM backups so you have a long history of file changes to your computer.
There is no media server in the TC.. it is merely disk storage.. you can serve files from it to a media device.. but the TC itself is dumb as dumb.
Now the actual format of the drive is irrelevant to the PC.. The TC offers SMB file services to the network. You can copy files to and from the TC as if it was a local disk without caring one iota about the format. The TC handles that .. it is not a local disk .. it is a network drive.
Although you cannot partition the TC. you can still copy files to it.. this does have implications for TM.. but as long as there is plenty of free space should not be a major issue.
You can create a disk image via the disk utility in a Mac.. and as stated you can create partitions if you do it on a Mac with the disk directly connected which means breaking warranty if any exists on the TC. -
I have Photoshop Elements 12 for both PC and Mac (I use both). I have a new camera, Nikon D810. I downloaded the latest version of Camera Raw, 8.8. My D810 is listed as a supported camera model. However, when I try to open a raw photo in Photoshop Elements, I keep getting the message "Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw. I have tried reinstalling Camera Raw many times, and have tried to open many different raw files in Elements, and still get the same error message. Please help.
How did you try to install ACR 8.8. The only way I know of that works with Elements is to use the Updates Choice on the Help menu.
There are two charts supplied by Adobe that explain your RAW dilemma. This one tells you what your camera needs: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html This one tells you what version of software you need: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
In your case, the Nikon D810 needs Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 8.6 or Lightroom 5.6. (Congratulations on buying a new camera!)
To get to that level with Photoshop Elements, you will need to replace your Photoshop Elements 12 with version 13. Adobe caps ACR updates on version 12 at 8.5.
The most convenient way to get around it without spending any money is to use the FREE from Adobe DNG Converter. Download and install it from here for FREE: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5855&fileID=5890 Once it is installed you can convert your D810 raw files to an Adobe RAW version with the .DNG file extension that most, if not all, versions of the various Adobe software programs can use. That includes old versions of Photoshop, Elements and Lightroom. DNG converter can be used as the tool to move your files from your memory card to your computer, is efficient, will convert in batches and is completely lossless. There is no risk of any image quality degradation or RAW functionality. -
I recently purchase an ipad2. I also have a mac laptop. Now, when I facetime call using my iphone to my ipad2 or mac, it states busy. how can i fix this problem? I have the same apple id e mail for both ipad2 and mac. it might be getting confuse now. I want to be able to face time also using my ipad2 to my laptop especially if one of the members of the family is traveling. Thanks.
thanks. your answer was correct, clearer. I have another question, maybe you can answer. I just purchase my ipad2 2 days ago. yesterday, there was a sound. today there is no sound. there is a sound only in movies and you tube and music. but no sound on all apps and keyboards. I look it up and seems like ther are few that have this problem. I called walmart coz I bought it there and they told me that they have not heard that before but if I can't fix it, just return it and exchange it with anew one since I have 14 days to do that. I tried rebooting it and still won't work. Should I just restore it?
