Mac MIni lastest 2009 temps en fan speed

Hello. What are the oficial temps of CPU en fan speed of thid model?. I don´t know if my Mac is working fine.

Did the fan (there is only one) always run full blast, even before your opened the Mini and did the upgrades? Or did it take some time running before the fan would speed up?
There are three general causes for the fan running fast:
1) Insufficient access to room temperature air -- usually due to the Mini being enclosed in furniture, sitting on other heat-producing equipment, or clogged air vents in the Mini. This will usually cause the fan to run fast after the Mini has run for a few minutes, but not immediately on startup.
2) Fan control wire not re-attached after work inside the Mini. This will cause fan to run full speed all the time.
3) PMU reset procedure wrongly applied to an Intel Mini. Only PPC Minis get he PMU procedure. Intel Mini's should have the SMC reset instead. Applying the SMC reset can usually undo the damage. When the PMU procedure has been applied to an Intel Mini, the fan will run full speed all the time.
The SMC reset is described here:

How can i install 8 gb ram on a mac mini early 2009 when it says i dont need the EFI firmware 2.1?i can only install 4 gb but the side of OWC says i can install 8 gb? what to do?

i have a mac mini early 2009 and i want to install 8 gb ram but it doesn,t work.
it says on the OWC site that i have to install the EFI firmware 2.1 update but it won,t let me,it says(the mac mini)that i don,t need this update.
my kernel is 32bit but my EFI is 64 bit,how can i install 64 bit so i can use the 8GB cause with 32 bit i can,t use more than 4gb ram

Check your computer's EFI Boot ROM version;
1. From the Apple () menu, choose About This Mac
2. Click More Info Under Contents
3. Select Hardware
If your Mac mini's Boot ROM version is the following or more recent, then you do not need the update to use 8 GB of RAM;
Boot ROM Version: MM31.0081.B06

HT2998 Hi, I try to conect Mac Mini from 2009 with my HD Tv Samsung F 6400 . With Mini Dvi conection and adapter to HDMI input in TV I got picture but not sound! I have analog cable from the phones out from mac but imposible to conect to TV? Can you HLP

Hi, I try to conect Mac Mini from 2009 with my HD Tv Samsung F 6400 . With Mini Dvi conection and adapter to HDMI input in TV I got picture but not sound! I have analog cable from the phones out from mac but imposible to conect to TV? Can you HLP?

You really need a newer Mac Mini with a true HDMI output, because that Mac Mini's DVI output does not support Audio.
You might try a 3.5mm to RCA adapter
from the Mac Mini's headphone jack to the TV's audio input,
but that would require being able to select the Audio input in the TVs menu while using it's HDMI input.
Optionally you could also use an external 2.1 Speaker System or patch the audio from the Mac Mini to your home stereo system to enhance that older Mac Mini's audio.

How can i share folders at Mac mini late 2009 with Apple Tv 3?

I'm using Mac mini 2009 and I can't share any folder with Apple tv 3...anyone managed to get a way to do so, so far?

I have a WLAN at home conneting Mac mini (late 2009), PS3 slim and xbox 360 in the living room and I would love to share whats on the Mac mini with AT3 in the guest room upstairs, physically it wont be possible to control both screens at the same times. The files I have are on external HD connected via firewire + USB to Mac mini and they are a mix of avi, mp4, mpeg etc. I'm talking about 3 TB of movies and series (its still legal here in Dubai to download ;-)). starting to convert such amount of files its not an option. AirParrot is a good option when I have media stored on my MacBook pro and would like to play it no AT3 but I used Beamer it works great for such function.
any ideas folks ?

Airport Extreme not working after downloading 10.8.3 on Mac Mini Late 2009

I downloaded latest upgrade OS X 10.8.3. This is onto a Mac Mini (late 2009). The Mini is hooked up to Cable Ethernet. I use the Mini's Airport Extreme to use as a Hub for other Apple devices to get onto the internet. I was enabling this through internet sharing through the sharing tab on system preferences. it has worked for years. I have restarted and tried several times. I do not know what to do . The names of the computers have not changed. I am a user not a whiz bang programmer type, it is very frustrating.

Hi, might try this...
Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2712
10.7 & 10.8…
System Preferences>Network, top of window>Locations>Edit Locations, little plus icon, give it a name.
10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...
System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
Try setting up Internet Sharing in the new location.

How do I remove a disk from my mac mini (late 2009)?

I am trying to regain my mac mini (late 2009) which came with OS X Snow Leopard. WHY?   Because, after spending quite a few bucks, I have tried and failed to find a suitable substitute for APPLEWORKS. (I still have the disk)
I erased the Mac Mini's memory, so it is blank READY FOR me to install Snow Leopard. I still have 10.6.3 install disks.
HA HA.   That's a laugh.
1) After I put it in the MM,& started it up using my 10.6.3 install disk. The install app told me I couldn't install this system on this computer. WHY WHY?
2) Now I have a 10.6.3 disk stuck in the MM and I don't know how to get it out.
Anybody PLEASE PLEASE !!
(Normally I use a MM (mid 2011) but I want this other MM available to me.)

Dear Allan, Very interesting solutions to a stuck disk. I'm going to keep it for future.
I finally did get my disk out - because I started up using my Mtn.Lion BU (it's a Firewire) which I connected to my old MM late 2009. There she was & I ejected it.
And I did finally get my MM 2009 working again with Snow Leopard - with the great help from ds store.
So now I have my Appleworks back too.   YAH!

HT3986 Mac mini later 2009-- can i install windows 7 -64 bit on it?

hi there,
can i install dual system on mac mini later 2009?
windows 7 32bit or 64 bit?
thanks

Although I have the "Early" 2009 mini, I believe they're close enough.
I have a dual system installed. Mac OS X Mountain Lion and Windows 7 64 bit. I have 8GB of RAM.
You should be aware though that Apple does not officially support the 64 bit version of Windows 7 on this machine, although it seems to be working for the most part using Boot Camp 4.0 drivers.
My only complaint is about the nForce Ethernet Driver. There seems to be some problem with it. Whenever the nVidia Control Panel for video is launched, there is an error reported:
The ethernet itself appears to be working fine using some driver dated back to 2010. While I can go to nVidia's website and locate an updated driver for the GeForce 9400 GPU, I cannot seem to find one for the nForce Ethernet. Honestly, I am not even interested in the Network Control panel, but I get another error when I try to uninstall it.
Would be nice is this could be fixed. Windows 7 32 bit didn't have this issue but I want to run the 64 bit version so I can see all of my RAM.

Mac Mini (late 2009) won't connect to wireless internet

The strangest thing happened to me just recently, a conflicting IP address appeared on my Mac Mini (late 2009) a few days ago. This IP was from one of my other computers. After this other computer had been shut down ever since, I keep on getting theses window messages saying "There is a conflicting IP tommiller". I decided to restart my Mac mini only a few hours ago. I returned and the message stopped appearing, but now I can't connect to my wireless Internet. An exclamation mark appears over the airport icon in the menu bar. I took forth all the steps to restart my wireless router, but nothing worked. The wireless works fine on all my devices except the Mac mini. What really freaked me out is that I have a portable Verzion MIFI, and my Mac Mini can't even connect to that. I'm very knowledgeable with Macs, but I've never had this happen to me before. My worst nightmare would be that the wireless card is shot. If anyone has the answer to end my stressful night, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Tom Miller

Log onto your router and see what IP address are being used.
Then try setting a fixed IP address well away from any of those, using Network settings in system preferences. See if that solves the problem.

Hard drive for mac mini early 2009 model

Hi,
My hard drive stopped working, and I would like to purchase a new one.
After checking with several vendors, I could not get an official answer if their drive is supported by Mac Mini early 2009 model.
Can you please advice what hard drive vendors/models do you know are supported?
Thanks

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The Mac mini uses a 2'5" hard disk, and near all of these hard disks will work with your computer. You can buy the hard disk in OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/
If you want more information, you can only use 9.5 mm hard drives, so search them in OWC and you will find hard drives that will work with your computer. HGST drives have a good reputation and work very well

Mac Mini (Late 2009) firewire 800 failure

Good morning,
I have a Mac Mini (late 2009), with an external Lacie hardrive 1TB connected via firewire 800. Woke up one morning to see that my hard drive had dismounted. So I restarted my mac and external hardrive to see that it no longer appeared on my desktop, in finder nor in system profiler.
So I decided to connect the hard drive via FW800 on my mac laptop, it appeared as it should. I also managed to connect the External hardrive via USB on my Mac Mini which worked.
My question is this: Is there something i can do to reset my mac in hopes that the FW800 functions? Or do I need to schedule a repair?
Many thanks,
SPJ

You could do the standard troubleshooting steps.
Zap the PRAM by holding down Command-Shift-P-R
Reset the SMC see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
Disconnect all cables (literally all) and then reconnect with as few as needed for an initial test, i.e. just power, keyboard/mouse, screen and of course the hard disk
In Apple System Profiler have a look at the FireWire entry and see what is listed, hopefully the interface itself is listed
Consider using USB instead of FireWire, this will save you the cost of a repair but will be slightly slower
Consider selling the Mac mini with this known fault and then buying yourself a new or refurbished one, the difference might not cost that much more than a new logic board and labour which is the part involved here

How to make Mac Mini (Early 2009) sleep in Lion?

After upgrading to Lion, my Mac Mini (Early 2009) stopped going to sleep from the Apple menu or from the keyboard. The problem has persisted with all point releases of Lion. The computer went to sleep with the same peripherals just fine under Snow Leopard.
The display goes to sleep but the computer itself neither suspends nor hibernates. The power light is lit and doesn't pulsate. Measuring how many watts the device draws from the power socket shows that it's not sleeping. It wakes up so quickly that it must be only the display sleeping.
Console log shows nothing when trying to sleep.
Changing the hibernate mode from the default 3 to 25 makes no difference. Running the PleaseSleep app make no difference.
How to put Mac Mini (Early 2009) to sleep (preferably hibernation--not just suspension) under Lion?

Hello,
Open console in Applications>Utilities, check the system log for the date/time of the last problem & the Startup right after that for clues.
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 (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>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...
/private/var/run/StartupItems

Confirm iSight with Mac mini (early 2009)?

Can someone please confirm that an iSight (external Firewire 400) camera actually works with their Mac mini (early 2009)? Of course, that will need a Firewire 400 to Firewire 800 adapter.
I can't get mine to work. I've used two different iSight cameras that work on other (older) Mac minis. I've used the cable that comes with the iSights and another Firewire 400 cable.
When I plug it in the iSight makes a noise and the light comes on briefly (for a second or two) and then it goes off. No applications that require a camera (like Photo Booth) see the camera.
I'm worried that this Mac mini may not have enough power to run the iSight, which is probably also an ominous sign for unpowered external Firewire drives.
Thanks for any assistance.
Cheers,
Ashley.

Well, it seems that I have found my sad answer!!! The very same issue. New MAC MINI, Old and nice isight camera, which works perfectly well with my powerbook G4 even now, but not with my new mac mini.
I am sure I have the correct cable (it allowed migration of my entire admin account from my powerbook to my new mac mini), but it still does not work between isight and new mac mini.
Having said this, I certainly remember plugging my isight to my new mac mini using this new adapter cable (800-400mb/sec - orange flat one) and it was working at least i saw my image.
I do not remember which application i used (skype or ichat) but i certainly remember my satisfaction with my new cable. Since then i did not need video conversations, but yesterday i needed one, and i realized that my isight is not recognized by my macmini any more!
I am saying this because it might not be only a power issue, it could be that multiple updates of i sight on my old powerbook passed in block to my new mac mini and this allowed isight working. In contrast, those update are not installable on Leopard operating systems.
I think, since i saw those two devices (isight and new mac mini) working together nicely, i deleted my entire migration account (having found a different way of keeping only absolutely necessary things on my new mac mini). I was thinking about this all day today. Can this be it? drivers issue? the non-installable on Leopard updates that otherwise can be migrated en-block from the old system?
I am sorry to confuse you all, if I did, but what do you think about it please?

My husband has a Mac mini, vintage 2009, running Snow Leopard. All other computers and devices in the house are able to connect to our wireless network, but since I upgraded his computer to Snow Leaopard it won't connect. What is the problem?

What am I missing here. I'm sure it is some kind of sitting that is not right.
Thanks Pat

Sounds familiar:

Power off and then back on the router
What happens when you enter the network's PW?
Try forgetting/deleting the network if necessary. To do that go to System Preferences>Network>wifi>Advanced and select the network and click on the minus sign

Mac Mini Late 2009 - Lost monitor mirror after Mountain Lion Update

I have a mac mini late 2009, mirror to dual monitors was working fine prior to Mountain Lion update. After update I have lost that function. The icon top right is gone. Basic functions like that should never disappear. Please fix on upcoming os builds.
System preferences Mirror options checked.
I have been running dual monitor on this mac since purchase. Monitor 1 is 24" display, Montor 2 is a 32" 720dpi tv only used for watching videos. This set up has been running well.
The dual monitor function works fine but I never use it that way. I am interested in "mirror" option when watching a video from various applications.
Again this was working fine until ML update.
Any one else experience this issue?

Oh. You are so in jail.
Plug the mini straight into the wall power supply.
You do have 4 - 8GB memory installed, right?
Disconnect everything but power and the display port to regular monitor connection. Make sure that external monitor is switched to the type of connection: DVI, HDMI, VGA. Wrong setting and your mini could be booted up sneering at you from behind a dark screen.
Boot mini.
Any change?
