Mac Mini Performance issues

I have a Mac Mini purchased in October 2008, lately i have seen signs of performance loss. Booting up and shutting down times have increased, opening programs have taken longer to process, and lastly copy/paste operations have increased in time. Any suggestions? PRAM, SMU have all been cleared, disk has been verified/repaired, and permissions have been verified/repaired.

Some statistics about your Mini would be helpful in diagnosing the issue.
1) Apple Menu > About this Mac -- what does the window that opens report?
2) Click once on your hard drive icon, then File > Get Info
What does it report for "Available" (that is free) space for your hard drive?
3) Run Utilities > Activity Monitor and click on the System Memory tab
What does it report for PageIns and PageOuts at the bottom of the window?

  • I have an 6 year old mac mini having issues. I can turn it on, get the apple logo and blue screen and nothing else.....help!!

    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.

  • How does the mac mini perform with cs5

    Just curious
    How does the Intel HD Graphics 4000 in the new mac mini perform with cs5 photoshop  cs6 photoshop?
    thanks
    Ted

    Jeff, I appreciate your comment, so you haven't had any problem with using the painttools in CS 6 photoshop and the 3d type etc, in other words all the features that CS6 photoshop has.
    I was thinking about buying the mac mini but was concerned how it works with CS 5 (which I have) I will have to take another look at the MiniMac server with the 3000 card. I do a lot of Digital Painting primarily Painter 12.2 but and would like to use the Painter brushes in CS 5 ( have not upgraded to CS 6.) My Imac is 6 years old and really is not fast enough.
    Thanks for replying
    Ted

  • Mac Mini Performance - What do you do with your Mini?

    I have to upgrade to an Intel machine, no two ways about it. My G5 and my PowerBook 17" are both great, but I can't run some software these days.
    My finances are limited, but maybe a Mac Mini will hold me over for a year or so. Problem is, how much can I expect from a Mini in terms of performance?
    I do mostly graphic design and digital imaging but I also do motion graphics with app's like After Effects and video editing in FCP. I also like to record audio in Logic or Ableton Live.
    How does a Mac Mini perform with apps like this? Does anyone use a Mini for motion graphics, video editing or audio recording?
    Is a Mac Mini limited to just office applications, email and surfing the web?
    I'd like to hear what others are using their machines for, and what kind of performance they are getting.
    Thanks!

    I'm in a similar situation, deciding if Mac Mini is enough power.
    Current Mac Mini is about the same performance as a low-end MacBook or MacBook Pro from less than a year ago, before they put in the i3 processor chip and faster graphics chip. So it should be quite powerful, although not as fast as the new MacBook or iMac, good for lots of work, if not as speedy.
    Here's a benchmark set (MacWorld SpeedMark) that compares various Macs, what's clear is the base iMac is very fast in comparison.
    http://www.macworld.com/article/154660/2010/10/speedmark65results.html
    To save cash I'm considering the base Mini, I already have a 22" monitor plus good Logitech mouse. However, if I get seduced by the very sexy Apple wireless mouse and keyboard, plus RAM upgrade to 4 GB, the extra cost makes the base iMac 21.5" look to be a better buy.

  • 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?  thanks

    Well, 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 performance very slow after upgrading to Mavericks

    Since upgrading my Mac Mini to Mavericks, its performance has become progressively slower.  The first issue I noticed was a freezing of the clock display on the upper-right of the menu bar.  I often leave my Mac on overnight to stream music and increasingly when I check the clock in the morning it has frozen at somepoint during the night.  When I move the mouse over arrow over the clock, it turns to "busy" and I clicking on it does nothing.  Changing the clock setting in system preferences does nothing to the displayed time, however the clock in system preferences is not frozen and displays the correct time.  Rebooting is the only thing that fixes the problem.  Lately the system has been performing progressive slower.  The boot-up/restart process takes several minutes now (>= 5min) and opening a program takes about as long as it did on my PC 20 years ago.  When the computer is awakened up from sleep mode all of the open programs have to be force quit because they are unresponsive.  Often, at this point, trying to open a menu in the menu-bar, saving work on a spreadsheet or navigating through folders in the finder takes an unusually long time, whereas it used to happen almost instantaneously before Mavericks was installed.  I would really appreciate feedback/advice.  Thanks, Aaron.

  • 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.

  • Mac Mini Bluetooth Issues

    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
    Dan

    I 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.

  • Mac Mini & ethernet issues

    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 help

    No 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

  • Mac mini wifi issues

    Had my Ipad mini for about a week. 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.

    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

  • Mac Mini startup issue

    So, earlier tonight, my computer was acting a little strange (it seems to have been flaky after updating to 10.4.8 lately) and after restarting, I get the gray apple screen, and the spinning indicator, but nothing else happens, other than more spinning. I've tried to boot from CD, or in safe mode, or open firmware, even, but nothing happens. I have a feeling that this is because I'm not using an Apple keyboard, but a logitech one. So I guess I really kind of have two questions, namely-what can I do to force a boot from a CD in this case, and, afterwards, what do you suggest I do to fix my computer? Do I need to reinstall the OS, or just repair disk permissions? Any help on this would be appreciated.

    I have the same exact issue! I have also tried everything. I have a Intel 1.66 GHz core duo Mac Mini (refurbished) using a Mac Keyboard and still nothing happens.
    My wife told me that it went into some kind of programing code and she thought it was a virus... ACK! and rebooted it. This is when the problem began.
    I have tried using the keys to safe boot and boot from the OS X disk to no avail. The only thing that works is holding the option key down and it show the MacHD icon. I can't get past that. I have tried to use my external hard drive to boot to, but it doesn't recognize it.
    I recently used software update to install the latest patches from Apple. It was running fine for a few days until this happened.

  • Mac Mini internal issue

    I set up a new mini server and everything is working except I can't access the server/iMail internally. It works fine from outside the network. I'm assuming this is a router issue but can't figure it out. Externally when I type in www.example.com I can get to the server, internally it will not. If I type in the IP address 10.0.XX.XX when I'm on the network then I can get to the server. I have an Actiontec PK5000 DSL modem with time port behind that. The Actintec does not support loopback.....is that my issue and is there any way to correct it?

    Thank you for the feedback, but I'm not seeing anything about DNS on the Time Port.
    A router doesn't implement DNS services. An IP router routes IP packets. Some routers also include other features, such as DNS forwarding, DHCP, firewall services, NAT, and other features. This omnibus implementation can vary by device and by how a site implements the device, and that can lead to confusion and complexity, as DNS forwarding simply passes packets to a remote server, and there are DNS server settings for DHCP servers, for those gateway boxes that (also) provide DHCP. But few (no?) routers incorporate DNS servers.
    The other confusing bit here: ISP DNS servers don't server DNS translations for hosts behind a NAT.
    When there are no local DNS services, Mac OS X Server can set up a single-host DNS service, but (due to common confusion with the settings and the resulting configuration errors) that might not happen in all cases.
    And if the local DNS isn't operational and correct, your server will encounter DNS errors.
    To check your local DNS services, launch Terminal.app and issue the command +sudo changeip -checkhostname+ and see if you get some information on the host, and either an indication that DNS is OK, or that there are DNS errors. (The sudo will require you to enter an administrative password.)
    Time Capsule and Airport devices are good residential routers, and can be deployed as good access points (APs) in larger (and small business) configurations. (It's not typical to run multiple WiFi routers. You can't move your connections among the devices, for instance. APs allow that.)
    Someone once told me that the Time Port are router wanna bes.
    They're entirely functional routers, and as APs. They're not particularly good choices as server gateways as they lack various server-oriented features; [here is what I look for with server gateways|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1724].
    It probably works fine as a wireless router for a house but not for a server. I guess I need to look at upgrading it, eh?
    You can [set up DNS on your Mac Mini Server|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1436] and entirely bypass the need to reflect the traffic at your gateway firewall, and resolve the local DNS server issues that your server (likely already) has.

  • Mac Mini RAM issue

    Hi all,
    I've recently replaced my MBP with a late 2012 Mac Mini (2.5GHz i5). I migrated a Time Machine backup of the MBP straight on to the Mac Mini after unboxing and this worked a treat.
    The Mac Mini has 4GB of RAM but seems to use half of it just sitting idle with no apps running. Is this normal? I had 4GB in the MBP but never experienced this kind of issue. For instance, I'm typing this into Firefox whilst listening to a podcast in iTunes and there's only 1.3GB of RAM free.
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    Thanks lllaass.
    That makes sense but it's obvious to me that 4GB isn't going to be enough for anything more than light use, particularly if I open the likes of Photoshop. I've been using Memory Clean in an attempt to free up RAM when required but it never really makes available more than 2GB of the 4GB total.
    I'm going to upgrade the Mac Mini gradually, starting with a RAM increase to 8GB (and possibly 16GB) and then an SSD replacement.

  • Mac Mini - Wifi Issue - Not Finding Established Network

    Purchased and tried to setup a late 2012 Mac Mini (2.3 Quad-Core).
    Current Wifi Setup
    - Cable Modem into Airport Extreme.
    - Airport Extreme (Base) is pushing to (2) Airport Expresses.
    - (1) of the (2) Airport Expresses is underneath the desk where the Mac Mini is located.
    - The devices currently on the network include: (1) MacBook, (1) Apple TV, (2) iPads and (2) iPhones. Everything is connected to the network and running properly.
    Issue
    One of the first things I attempted to do when I started up the computer, was join my home network. I searched for the network, found it and entered in the password. The Mac mini would not accept my password (the password is correct), claiming either password was incorrect or the connection timed out. I went to the Airport Utility and noticed the Mac mini was not locating/finding the Airport Extreme (Base), but was attempting to connect to the Airport Express underneath the desk. An important note the Mac Mini and the Airport Extreme are approximately 20 feet apart.
    Here are some the methods I used to attempt a fix:
    I turned off the Mac Mini Wifi and reset all (3) routers.
    I updated the firmware of all (3) routers, reset them again.
    I updated the OSX to 10.8.2
    I ended up loading the Airport Utility on my Ipad and taking it back to where the Mac mini was located. From the attached picture, you can see on the bottom the Ipad correctly showing the Network and the on top show Mac Mini still searching for the Network.
    I ended up hooking the Mac mini though Ethernet using the Airport Express underneath the desk, which is a fix however that an issue if the wifi is not working.
    I’m currently at work and will have a chance to work on the computer this evening, does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this issue?
    Thank you in advance.

  • Mac Mini DVD issues with 3rd party player software

    New to the forum. I have a Late 2012 Mac Mini with 16GB RAM and 256 SSD (Crucial) fitted and the latest version Yosemite OS. I get a slight jerkiness when playing DVDs from an external Panasonic UJ265 USB3 Blu-ray drive using either Aurora or Macgo software, however Blu-rays play fine and the jerkiness disappears with Apple's native DVD player. Any ideas what might be going on? Many thanks.

    I'm having a similar issue as well with my Mac Mini (Macmini 4,1) connected to an HP LP3065 via the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adaptor. I also have a Dell 2407WFP connected via the the HDMI->DVI connector:
    Summary:
    When the Mac Mini wakes from sleep, the display for the Dual-Link DVI connection is set to the wrong resolution and cannot be modified in System preferences.
    Details:
    In my case, this manifests as a blank screen and flashing green power led on the HP, which is how the it indicates the display resolution is set to something other than 2560x1600. The Dell still wakes up, but is now in Mirroring mode.
