Mac Mini Freezing Issues
So, I recently bought a refurbished Mac Mini, late 2009 model. It worked fine for the first few months, but after moving back to school, it started acting oddly. First, it had problems booting. It would freeze up during the boot up, or occasionally right after if finished booting. After messing around with it, it started working fairly reliably again. However, every once in a while, under moderate use, it would freeze up and would have problems restarting. I came to the realization that it was probably overheating, and tried a few tricks to get more air to it. This worked…
For a while. Last week, it died. It would get to the gray screen with the spinning wheel, and then freeze. It couldn't get past this step. In desperation, I took it into the Apple store, as it was still under warranty. After several days, they fixed it, but in the process, had to replace the hard drive. Luckily, I had a back up. Reset the computer, reloaded the back up, and started to use it… only to have it freeze again.
I noticed that every time it crashed, it seemed abnormally hot. I think this may be an overheating issue, and I have taken steps to monitor it (I currently have a temperature monitor watching over the CPU temperature). I just wanted to know what other people thought.
My current set up is thus:
Late 2009 Model Mac Mini, 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Dual monitors, connected via adapters to the Mini-display port and mini-DVI port
Ethernet internet (limited wireless here in the dorms)
Apple keyboard and Logitech mouse
Verbatim external hard drive, 320 GB, connected via Firewire 400/800 cable
My current thoughts are that it's either due to the dual monitors stressing out the video card, or the external hard drive. I've noticed that the external hard drive is constantly on when it's plugged in to the computer (it gets it's power via the firewire cable), and that if I leave the external drive plugged in overnight, the computer can occasionally act sluggishly.
If anyone has any further insight into this or can verify my hypothesis, that would be great. Thank you for your time.
After looking around online some more, found that there are many complaints with this specific hard drive. The main issue, it seems, is that it has limited ventilation, and therefore has issues staying cool. Unfortunately, due to the length of my firewire cord, the external hard drive typically has to sit fairly close to the Mini, usually resting on top of it. So, if this is right, then it's the poorly designed external HD overheating, which in turn overheats the Mini to the point of failure. I'll look into getting a better external to replace this one, and for the time being I'll only have it connected for brief periods for backup.

[email protected]Did you ever find a resolutution to your issue? I have a similar issue after installing Mavericks where the Arris modem goes to sleep when my iMac does, even though other devices on the network are actively requesting data. For the time being, as long as the iMac doesn't sleep the network is fine.

i have an 6 year old mac mini with issues that started two weeks ago. I can turn it on , get blue screen and turning circle and nothing else......help !
Hi,
Have you tried some of these? http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1533
The first things I would try would be to press shift during start up, this will boot into safe mode.
I think you'll need to purchase a copy of Snow Leopard to re-install the OS.
There's another couple of suggestions here; http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417 where you can boot into single user mode and look at repairing disk permissions if that's the problem.
I would hope that if you could boot into safe mode or single user mode, then that may automatically rectify your current issue. If not, then I'm pretty certain that a fresh install will be the ultimate answer. -
Mac mini having issues with system preferences retaining settings
Mac mini having issues with system preferences retaining settings; this was present with Mavericks and now Yosemite after installation. Did try removing com.apple.systemprefs.plist file (library/preferences folder) to trash, but couldn't find it in trash in order to empty it. Upon reboot the file is still missing. Please don't suggest reloading Yosemite, have very slow internet connection, Yosemite took 7-8 hours to D/L.
Any troubleshooting suggestions out there? thanksWell, I'd open Font Book, it's included with OSX, & see what it says for Validate & Duplicates.
I would also like to add I am new to Apple computers and I'm doing my best to stay up to par with whats what and understanding!
No problem, we were all new to everything once, do let us know if you need more help or clatification. -
Mac Mini freezes at startup for both mac and windows. Any Ideas?
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 and then screen fragments
Our Mac Mini freezes up constantly. Some days it happens after a few minutes of running and other times after a few hors. After the computer freezes, the screen fragments. We seem to have enough memory and so not certain what the problem could be.
AKSHi AKS,
Maybe you have got a temperature problem affected Mac Mini as our Mac Mini Server. You can read about it here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/13242219#13242219
Such problems sometimes gets worse by time so I suggest you should run the EFI test and then contact Apple service before running out of guarantee.
Good luck!

Mac mini freezes on start up?? ANY SUGEGSTIONS??
My mac mini seems to freeze as it's starting up. The power comes on, I hear the start up chime, and it goes to the screen with the apple sign and the loading circle, but then it just freezes and won't move on from there.
I've tried turning the power on, while holding the command, alt, p and r keys, which I read on another forum, but that didn't do anything.
Does anyone have anyone suggestions?? Thanks!When Disk Utility reports 'error on exit in a situation such as that, it means there are errors on the drive it cannot repair. Occasionally (very rarely) running the Repair Disk task again will complete the repair successfully, so that's worth doing just in case. Typically however at that point you basically have two options: either buy a third-party disk utility such as Alsoft's DiskWarrior and attempt a repair to the drive and data structure that way, or perform a full 'erase and install' of MacOS using the original MacOS installer that came with the system, or a full retail MacOS installer issues subsequent to the release of the specific Mac model you're using (meaning you can't generally use a MacOS installer which pre dates the system).
Since the latter option involves reformatting the drive, it should only be done once any and all critical data has been backed up or recovered from the drive - though in the event of many of these type of errors, data on the drive can be significantly corrupt, and so recovery may not yield much in the way of positive results.
A copy of DiskWarrior (or Tech Tools Pro) will cost around $100. If you can't afford that and either don't need any data already saved on the drive or have a backup, then by returning to the MacOS installer screen, you can select erase and install by clicking the customize option. Since this process reformats the drive, it basically wipes the error Disk Utility couldn't fix and returns the mini to the same condition it was when it came out of the box, so you'll then go through the initial setup screens again. -
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 Freezing (graphics problem, I think?)
Hello everyone,
I'm a new Mac Mini owner and my experience so far has been great, but my machine is freezing (jittery blue artifacts/boxes/glitchy lines) and becoming unresponsive when I do the following:
Rotating in Manga Studio 5 OR Photoshop CS6
Zooming/panning in Google Maps in Chrome
My Mac Mini is:
2.5GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 (Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz) with 3MB L3 cache
8 GB (two 2GB) of 1600MHz DDR3 memory
500 GB (5400-rpm) hard drive
Intel HD Graphics 4000
I have OSX Mavericks installed and both Manga Studio, Photoshop and Chrome are all up-tp-date. I've searched previous posts and couldn't find anything that seemed relevant, so my apologies if this has been asked before and I just missed it. Seems like a graphics issue, I think. There are no drivers to update, right?
Thanks for the help!I'm not sure it is your graphics card since works fine on my 2012 Mini but I have 16GB RAM which then provides more for the graphics 4000 to use and also I7 processor. The graphics 4000 is better than many believe. I use it for video editing and no issues. I also have an SSD but so not sure that is the reason.

Mac mini freezing with squares on the screen
I have a mid 2011 mac mini which recently started freezing fairly regularly. It will make a static noise and the screen will show a lot of squares which is odd. It has 3rd party ram, but the issue is reproducable with the standard ram.
Here is the log (I think). Any help wouyld be appreciated as it is preventing me from doing some important work:

Mac mini freezes regularly - log file enclosed - what do I need to do?
Hi,
My mini crashes every couple of days - and has to be rebooted. I've been updating the OS and software regularly but it continues to freeze and has to be rebooted each time. I'm enclosing a typical log file from a crash. Any help / insight about what to do to fix this would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Jay

There are no media files on the mac mini just the library files and on external just media files..
Do I need to copy anything over from the old mac mini ? xml files ? .. the itunes folder on old mini is about 840mb in size which looks to have artwork ect ? .. I am fairly computer literate, but this one has me stumped.. ?
thanks for help -
Hi there, I've recently took purchase of a new Mac Mini (my first Mac) and am loving it, apart from the problems I'm having with the Bluetooth functionality.
I've been trying to pair my new Apple wifi keyboard and have not been succesful, I can't get the mini to recognise that there is a keyboard (I've also tried pairing 2 different mobile phones, and anther laptop with no success).
I've tried a what was suggested in another thread (powering mac and key off for a few minutes, with power cable/batteries removed) but this hasn't worked for me.
I'm not at a total loss, as you can see by my typing of this Topic , however it would be cool to get the BlueTooth working on this Mini.
Any help or suggestions would be greatfully received
DanI am having similar issues. The bluetooth range with the apple wireless mouse and kbd is VERY short. If the mouse is more than a foot or so away, motion becomes clunky. I also tried this with another bluetooth mouse (different brand) and had the same problem. I've gone though making the mouse and kbd favorites, but about half of the reboots, the mouse isn't found (when it's less than 3 feet away).
The computer is completely up to date. I've installed every OS firmware, keyboard update etc available.
Incidentally, I've tried both mouse and keyboard with other computers, and they work perfectly at longer ranges (10ft or so).
I bought this system to be my media center, but if this persists, or I can't find a solution, I'm thinking about bringing it back.

intel mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.6) Apple BT mouse and keyboard -
Hello, i bought a mac mini just a couple of weeks ago and upgraded it to OS 10,7,4.
it was all running just fine for a start so i made an account for itunes and turned off the computer. But now, the mac mini just does not connect to the internet even when i plug the ethernet cable. I thought it would be a wireless issue but i realized that it happened even by cable.
I'm a little bit confused about this because the network utility says there is no problem (i can ping and traceroute) but safari doesn't open the page.
As a matter a fact, the only browser that works is Chrome, which only opens this forum's page and gmail...
Please helpNo it didn't take me to apple's homepage. However, i can ping and traceroute to it without any problem.
I have read discussions about similar problems (on wifi) and tried to boot as safe mode.
Gratefully, it works, i can open every single page... but i still don't understand why does this happen on safe mode and not on the regular mode (i'm not going to log as safe mode every time).
Any idea?
Thanks in advance -

At first, the internet connection over my Airport/time capsule( which I bought a couple months ago, so it should be the newest generation) appeared to be fine although, I noticed that the signal bar was always a single to double bar (if that's how it is called). Now, from time to time it even fails to connect.
I am now in my living room in front of my mac mini set, which is itself connected to the internet over Airport/time capsule. The Airport is about 20 meters (abt 65 ft) away. The Wifi signal of my mac mini shows full capacity. My Ipad mini signal bar...it just says" iPad". While (when) connected I also have issues with iPad's ITune Wi-Fi sync. Connected by cable, checked the sync over wifi, removed the cable and Ipad disappeared from the Itune screen. I reset the Ipad, connected and did the whole procedure with Itunes and the iPad icon sticked to the itunes screen for a while but after about an hour disappeared again.
Now the ipad won't even connect.
When this thing works, it is a wonderful item. When it doesn't, it is a source of frustration. Can anyone help to solve this connection problem (resetting won't work) ?
thank you.http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-57559832-37/apple-releases-ios-6.0.2-to-fix-wi -fi-issue/
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
