Mac mini hard disk keep crashing
The hard disk of my Mac mini has been replaced twice during the one year warranty period. It crashed again recently and I was unable to reformat or reinstalled the OS as suggested in the manual. I worry if my Mac mini was not due to hard disk problem alone as Apple products can not be that unreliable where by you need to change hard disk every coypu pole of months. And now the warranty period is over and wonder how Apple can help me in this matter.
Question mark icon flashes when I boot up the Mac mini. When halfway copying file under the recovery method suggest in the manual, error appeared and can cannot continue copying the file. In some of the trials, HD no longer seen by the Mac. I am quite new to the Mac, and not sure which SMART error you are referring to. I may try to approach regional service centre in Singapore. Thanks for your info.

Creating Partition in Mac Mini Hard Drive
i Have buy a mac mini a week ago, but before three days ago, some file got corrupted, and it does not start, only the password screen appears, when i entered the password, the screen appears again. and it continues. Now i want to partition the mac mini hard drive. i have only one drive, and i want to create another partition in the hard drive. when i create another partition through the disk utility , i gives error, and cannot create the partition. i acutally want that first i make partition in the hard drive, and after using the "restore from time machine option" to install the mac osx lion in the system. Please help me in make the partition in the hard drive.
Apple themselves don't specify hard drive RPM because they buy a number of different drives, some apparently 4200 some apparently 5400.
It's no surprise that your retailer wants you to buy a G5 though, and is trying to upsell one based on the minis weaknesses - after all, they get more money from a G5 sale than from a mini. They may also be considering your planned use of Photoshop as a stumbling block to effective use of a mini, but the question really is what you intend to use Photoshop to do. If you're a hobbyist, the system is fine and will work more than adequately - particularly if you max out the RAM. If you're a professional user with pro-level expectations, then a mini likely wouldn't be sufficient, not so much due to the drive speed (powerbook users have run Photoshop verisons for years quite happily on what are predominently 4200rpm drives) but because for pro work, Photoshop needs a lot of hard drive space and a great deal of RAM.
On the basis of what you've posted, I'd say your retailer is more interested in their profit than your need. Chances are, if you run PS on the G4 listed in your profile, you're already running on a drive of similar general performance. -
MY mac mini hard drive is failing. I am no longer under warranty. Do you know how much it cost to have Apple replace the hard drive? or How I can replace it myself?
You can do it yourself. I did on my 2009 Mini

Also, this place sells HSDs and has install videos.

I'm not able to copy and paste files from my mac to hard disk and usb. I have tried dragging the items I want to copy to those devices but it won't work. I also have tried copying and pasting those files onto those devices too but that doesn't work too. Can any one help?
Hi BobRz
Thanks for you suggestion but it didn't work - are there other ways for solving this problem? Or is it because my files that I want to copy and paste onto my hard disk etc are too big? (However there is space on my hard disk and it works on a PC) -
I friend has given me his original copy of Photoshop Elements 11. It will not load on to my computer. Mac. mini. I keep getting will not initialize.
I own the businesses, so there are no restrictions. Even my personal page has the same problem. I've been working on FB for years with no access problems. Ironically, the problem started the day the FB IPO went public. At first, the "freeze" happened when I tried to view a photo. Now it happens virtually every time I try to do anything: view a friend's page, try to use "chat."
I'm at a loss. I would view it as a blessing, except that too many of my "friends" and family only use FB to communicate. I'm afraid that's how the world is today, and we can't turn back the clock. -
Mac Pro (Late 2013) Keeps Crashing Please Help
My new Mac Pro (Late 2013) keeps crashing when I use thunderbolt devices.
My set up is as follows:
8-Core
512 SSD
Dual AMD 700 GPU
64 GB Ram
It usually occurs when I am using any of the Adobe programs for video editing and rendering. I have check disc utility and found no errors. Needless to say this is getting quite annoying as I use this machine for work and sometimes can't get through anything because it keeps crashing.
What do I do?Just happened again. This is what it says:

Replaced Mac SE Hard Disk - I'm going crazy!
My old Mac SE hard disk kicked it so I bought a 2gb IBM SCSI drive. The problem I have is that Apple HD SC Setup on the 6.0.8 Startup Disk won't recognize non-Apple drives. I found a web site that led to a link to a modified version of Apple HD SC Setup version 7.3.5 and put that on a floppy. I booted my Mac SE with the 6.0.8 disk and then when the desktop came up, I ejected the disk and inserted the disk with Apple HD SC Setup 7.3.5. 7.3.5 sees the SCSI drive and the Test went fine but it won't let me initialize the drive. I am assuming this is because I'm using Apple HD SC Setup 7.3.5 with the old 6.0.8 System disk.
How do I initialize my drive? Is there a Mac OS 7.3.5 boot disk out there somewhere?I'll post my own answer here. I found software called Lido 7 and it formatted my drive perfectly. http://www.euronet.nl/users/ernstoud/pub/lido756.hqx

Will use the system serial number as long as the system has not had the operating system reinstalled so the reporting function is no longer tied to the AppleID.

Mac mini mid 2010 hard disk keeps ejecting itself
My mac mini is set up with two sata disks installed, one is a 128 ssd and the other a 1tb hdd. Since installing mountain lion, the hdd keeps ejecting itself, and i get a message saying - this hard disk was not properly ejected. then i wont find the disk in finder, or disk utility!. I then have to remove the hdd from the mac mini and plug it into a usb caddy, which finds it no problem, and then when i put it back in the mac mini, it works again!! so the disk is not faulty i dont think. It then works for a period as random as a few hours, to a few weeks and then i will randomly get the "this disk was not ejected properly" message and it has again dissapeared. I use the mac mini as a media centre and it isnt really being pushed hard when the failure happens.
Anyone have any ideas as to whats wrong?Hello, Sorry for the late reply.
When i open console after the ejection i get the message:
01/11/2012 22:32:42.000 kernel[0]: Failed to issue COM RESET successfully after 3 attempts. Failing...
01/11/2012 22:32:42.000 kernel[0]: disk1s2: no such device.
Hope this gives a clue, i'm tearing my hair out over it. there is absolutely nothing wrong with the disk itself.
If i do a full shutdown and restart, it finds the disk again no problems, but if i simply choose to restart from the menu, it does not find the disk again.
Thanks for any help you can give on this. I have only been experiencing this issue since i upgraded to mountain lion.

Hi, I have a mid-2011 with Mavericks installed. It crashed. I can boot into recovery mode. And it shows me the name of the hard drive and the recovery partition. When I boot back to the hard drive, it gives the grey screen and a long progress bar. WHen the progress bar eventually fills up, the computer just shuts down. In recovery mode, Disk Utility says the hard disk cannot be repaired.
But when I try to re-install Mavericks from the Recovery Partition, it only shows the recovery partition as the destination, not the rest of the computer.
Not sure what to do.
Thanks if anyone has any advice.
JThank you very much for the reply.
Indeed, Disk Utility can't even erase and reformat the drive. It's toast.
This is very disappointing. Second Mac Mini I've had go out this year. First seems to be a logic board issue. Now the hard drive on the newer machine.
At least I was able to use Disk Drill to get photos and other important files off the Mini. I had a Time Capsule, but last year, it too died (just a few months out of warranty).
One further question, if you don't mind. If I'm just going to replace the HD on the mini, I'm not sure why one would do this step that you suggested: "get a new HD, put it in an enclosure or use another method that allows the HD to be connect to the Min. Then boot to the recovery partition and install Mavericks on the new HD."
Also, maybe I can replace the drive on the mini myself. Maybe get an SSD for it? They seem more reliable.
Thanks again for taking the time to answer me. -
My mac mini hard drive crashed. I replaced it but now not all applications work. How do I fix this?
When my mac mini (late 2009) hard drive crashed I installed a new one. During the process I used migration assistant to bring in my time machine backup. When finished I did not have all applications...iPhoto, CC Cleaner, Chrome, and most importantly Reunion all failed to load. I have since manuay fixed Chrome and CC Cleaner but still do not have Renion or the OSX iPhoto and other apple OSX applications working. Can someone help or driect me to the right forum?
Restore failed to provide all the applications and data. Took the mini to Apple genius today. They reinstalled OSX (same as I had done) then confirmed that the applications were not backed up to time machine...they will be in the future. After reloading each individual application they now work as expected and all the data seems to have been restored. Except the Reunion files which were near and dear. These are gone forever. Somehow, perhaps through my negligence, the 'GED' files were not stored in a "Reunion" folder and were not backed up...much like the apps. Now I'm trying to recover the files from the crashed drive.

My mac mini on booting keeps restarting.....help
Ok a quick look as what's happening with my mac
My mac mini mid 2011 model was running totally fine on os lion
Just few days back I updated to mountain lion
Installation was fine but on a restart showed me a error MSG that your
computer restarted because of a problem
But then my mac booted fine and I updated n installed latest software updates
Then on an average out of 10 shutdowns i did in 3 to 4 days the same error showed up 2 to 3 times
Then I checked the report showed some kernel thing ( the copy is below)
Then I used disk utility checked disk and disk permission it showed error and needs
To be repaired then on repairing it , it repaired and said all is ok
Then next shutdown was fine I thought problem solved
But next day when I tried to on my mac within a sec it showed a grey screen with some error in back ( Image - TinyPic - Free Image Hosting, Photo Sharing & Video Hosting check photo ) and my mac kept restarting No apple logo to spinning wheel just on then grey screen then error MSG then restart and kept doing this
Then little google and then I did some first aid steps
Tried safe mode not successful
Tried disk utility option verified disc it showed errors again and this time said that disk cannot be repaired
Can open Internet recovery option also but before reinstalling my os I wanted to save my data
as I have no backup
My first and only priority is to save my data first and take a backup and then think of reinstalling os increase my ram or change hard disk so please guide me and by looking at my problem what you guys think it is an os failer ,hard disk failer or something else
My plan is to try
Transfer disk mode with another mac using thunderbolt ....and if that does not work
Then take out hard disk and try to use with hhd enclosure
If you have any nice tip that I can do to get n save my data please share thanks
My very first error MSG when I updated to mountain lion

Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.

One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Can I Replace my Early 2009 Mac Mini Hard Drive with my Early 2011 Macbook Pro Hard Drive?
I am replacing my 2011 Macbook Pro Hard Drive with a Solid State Drive. Instead of keeping the hard drive on an external enclosure I was wondering if I can use it to upgrade my Mac Mini's 160GB hard Drive with the one Im taking out of the MBP. And if so, is there any special formatting I would need to do?
It should work fine. No special formatting required. It actuality, I suspect that if you connect the HD, the Mini will boot into the OSX that was on the MacBook.
When you replace the HD in the Mini just be careful with the antennas and their wires and connections I accidentally disconnected the wifi antenna on mine when I replaced the HD. -
I want to creat for the first time on my Mac Mini an iPhoto library. I have many seperate hard drives with pics I want to import but are concerned I will fill the hard drive with pics alone. Can I install the pics on one larg (1TB) external apple hard drive and use iPhoto functions still with the pics being installed on a seperate drive from the iPhoto OS?
This is our resident iPhoto guru, Terence Devlin's, advice:
You can move your iPhoto Library to an external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
Once that is done you can import directly into the iPhoto library on the external HD. -
Mac Mini: Error-Disk Full-UNABLE TO BOOT-WHITE SCREEN at STARTUP
Please Help!
Last night a message popped up saying "STARTUP DISK FULL/almost full...Delete files to make disk space available"
Immediately after that message the system froze and I waited for a hour to see if it would unfreeze by itself
It didn't so I then pressed and held the power button until the system shut down
Now when I power up my mac mini, all I see is a white screen
Please advise...any and all help would be very much appreciatedWhich model Mac mini is it? If it is quite an old one it might not in pre-boot stage know how to drive a brand new style keyboard. You can double check the keyboard itself is ok by plugging it in to your MacBook when it is already booted.
You could also test the DVD in your MacBook.
If you have not used the DVD drive in the Mac mini for a while it might have got dirty. Eject the disc if you can and carefully blow in to the disc opening to try and clear any dust.
Normally, methods of ejecting the disk would be -
Holding down the mouse button while you start the computer
Pressing the eject key on the keyboard
and various other methods that need the computer to be already up and running
Any Apple stores in your area?
It could possibly be still trying to boot from the hard disk - if your not able to get the keyboard recognised then obviously your not yet able to get it to accept a command to boot from a different drive. If your Mac mini is an older model and hence not in pre-boot mode able to recognise the new keyboard, do you have any friends with an old plastic Mac keyboard?
An older keyboard would be one that looks like this http://www.user-agent.org/stuff/images/mac_keyboard_02.jpg
You probably have a new one that looks like http://media.macworld.co.uk/cmsdata/products/10514/07kb_top.jpg
If you feel up to it, an option would be to take the Mac mini apart and remove the hard disk, then if you have the bits, put it in an external case and you can then connect it to the MacBook as an external drive. I have all those bits available to me but many ordinary users don't.
