Mac mini serial c0******jd1 brake its video card (placa de video). It is 2 years old. It is posible?

I have Mac mini with this number serial... Cuando la enciendo la pantalla se pone gris y nunca arranca. Hice todos los pasos que se consignan en el manual. La lleve a un servicio técnico oficial Apple y me dijeron que era la placa de video. Vivo en argentina. En ningún lugar tienen ese repuesto. Me dijeron que tengo que tirarla, q ya no puedo hacer nada salvo que la lleve a Estados Unidos. Compre esta Mac mini en enero de 2012. No puedo creer que ya no pueda repararla. Alguien sabe que puedo hacer? Estoy enojada porque cuando la compre me decidí por esta máquina pensando que me duraría más tiempo, pero en dos años ... Tengo que tirarla???????? Puede ser que la placa de video se rompa tan rápido???

I was told that I have to throw it away, q I can not do anything except to take her to America. Buy this Mac mini in January 2012. I can not believe that you can not fix it. Anyone know what can I do? I am angry that when I buy I decided on this machine thinking I would last longer, but in two years ... I have to throw it away???? It may be that the video card is broken so fast??
You have a mid 21011 Mac Mini. That model uses the graphics processor that is built into the CPU chip. The CPU chip is soldered to the logic bard. Thus, it appears you need a new logic board, not cheap. You might be better off purchasing a used 2011 Mini

2012 mac mini i7 or imac i5 for video editing with final cut pro 7 ?

Hello,
I am totally new to mac world.
I read some posts but not clear to me if better a mac mini 2012 i7 2,3Ghz and video card Intel HD Graphics 4000 or an imac 2012 i5 2,7GHz and NVIDIA GeForce
GT 640M with 512MB of GDDR5 memory.
The software is final cut studio 3 from final cut pro 7.
So better more performance in the l cpu or in the videocard?
Thank you
Gianni

If the Mac Mini has not had its hardware changed since the release of Mountain Lion, July 25, 2012, Final Cut Pro 7 is reported as not working in some situations under Mountain Lion. If it has been hardware changed by Apple on or after July 25, 2012, you won't be able to run Lion, and may not be able to run all Final Cut Pro 7's features. The two entries for Final Cut Pro 7:

and
http://roaringapps.com/app:4909
Appear to conclude it launches, but there must be something that doesn't work. There are some issues both with Lion and Mountain Lion with Final Cut Studio 3:

My advice, check the Final Cut forums to see what people have experienced with both. And make sure to follow specs exactly.

Maybe you are looking to re-purpose this equipment versus getting rid of it if so, the best thing to do is search the internet for tutorials. And I say this because it's what I would do, there are a lot of tutorials online. Hope you can find good use for them. Worse case scenario if you can't find something right now, package them very nicely and when you come across something unbox and enjoy. I've re-purposed a mac color classic and LOVE IT!!

Hi Guys,

What is the problem here so I can get Pictures onto my Computer. ,

Hi Noob Søren
There are a few things that are confusing in your question.
As far as I know, you dont have to install Time Machine on this OS as it is already installed for you. You only need to connect a hard drive to your computer via firewire or usb, click on the Time Machine icon, Open Time Machine Preference in the drop down menu and select a disk: your connected hard drive.
You can of course reformat this connected device, partition it into a few volumes to organise data if you so wish.
I find it strange that your mac's hard drive is divided into two volumes... perhaps this was created through bootcamp?
You can access the configuration of your hd through Applications/Utilities/Disk Utilities.
Clicking on one of the icons on the right hand panel will bring the details of the contents of your hardDrive and volumes. From there you can decide to erase a partition, reformat etc....
If your hd contains more than one volume, and one of them is empty, you could decide to remove it. Back up all your important data before doing so.
Hope this helps

Mac mini won't boot, shows no video, no startup chime, startup light is on

Hello everybody,
I have a strange boot up problem with my Intel Mac mini. I think, the problem appeared after the 10.4.7 update and I believe I installed the first installer, which has some missing graphics drivers.
Anyway, the problem is that when I want to start the mini, the light at the front goes on and that's it. No startup sound, no video, just a little sound from the fan (very calm). I already resettet the NVRam, used a different monitor, resetted the PMU and the SMC. Between all these resets, sometimes the mini changes its behaviour. It then turns on the fan on full speed, the light stays off and still no video and sound.
Has anybody any tip for me? Every tip is greatly appreciated.
Mac mini Core Solo Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Ahem...Don't know how to say that but to make it fast I had the very same problem with my core duo after 3 weeks of use, and in my case it had nothing to do with 10.4.7 update (not published at the time). It ended up taking back the mini to the Apple Center for service : motherboard had to be changed.
The mini has been fine since, very happy with 10.4.7 update !

Mac Mini keeps shutting off on its own!

Okay Apple Discussion Users, Here is my problem. I have a Mac Mini from early 2008. As of May 23, 2009 the mini started to RANDOMLY turn off on its own. For what reason, I Don't know! I will be using it maybe searching the web, and BAM, OUT COLD. And I have no reason why it's doing this. Its not a heat issue because i just had my mini cleaned up(dusted out) and i use SMC fan control keeping my mini at about 98ºF to 120ºF most of the time. I have opened my mini and re-seated my ram sticks and it seems to STILL be doing the same thing. Sometimes the mini will even blank out. I will be searching the web listening to music or something and the screen will black out. but the mac will still be on. I just cant use it. I have even reset my PMU/SMC on the mini, that seemed to make the mini act really weird, right after doing that the mini turned on with a fan running FULL speed and the hard drive running FULL speed, WHY IS IT DOING THIS ?!?!?!?!
Help!

Proper steps to reset the mini:
# Force Quit (Option-Command-Escape).
# Restart (Control-Command-Power).
# Force Shut Down (press the power button for 10 seconds)
to reset the SMC:
1. From the Apple menu, choose Shut Down (or if the computer is not responding, hold the power button until it turns off).
2. Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord and any display cables.
3. Wait at least 15 seconds.
4. Plug the power cord back in, making sure the power button is not being pressed at the time. Then reconnect your keyboard and mouse to the computer.
5. Press the power button on the back to start up your computer.
Now if these to not work, the next thing i would try is uninstalling the fan management software and unplugging everything except the K/V/and mouse/

Mac mini server with yosemite has no video

heres the problem; i have a mac mini server (2013) and i upgraded to yosemite a few weeks ago. first when it went into dleep mode it would not power back up; i saw this was a problem so after rebooting i turned off sleep mode & problem solved. for a few days now, on powering on the fan ran continuously then yesterday there was no video. i reset SMC & PRAM - no effect. i tried to boot to safe mode but still no video. help

Hi, long story short - I returned the Pegasus, got a new Pegasus and tested it. Also the second Pegasus had the error described above. So we returned that one as well, and bought a Synology DS1513+ instead.
I do not know for sure what the problem with the Pegaus'es was, but I suspect it is this:
http://features.techworld.com/storage/1019/what-is-time-limited-error-recovery/
Shortly summarized - the drives in the Pegasus RAID box were not designed for a RAID setup. So error handling in the drives, and in the RAID box, interfered with each other, making the box marking drives faulty when they were not - and the copy job stopped because of a TLER error (Time Limited Error Recovery). Some of the error handling on the individual drives should be turned off. We ended up buying a Synology DS1513+ instead, with WD Red drives. These drives are specifically designed for RAID setups. This machine completed the copy job without error. I think the Toshiba drives (DT01ACA200) that were in the Pegasus were not designed for a RAID setup. So it all boils down to - a design flaw at the Pegasus team?

My mac Mini has problem rendering images and video

THE PROBLEM:
My mac mini has problem rendering JPEG image. There are strips on the images. Other images such as GIF, PNG, TIFF, and BMP are displayed nicely.
The images shown in the links below illustrate the problem:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/terencewong/71481156/
http://www.flickr.com/photos/terencewong/73360989/
(Please note that this image is grabbed from my faulty Mac Mini and saved into TIFF. For uploading purpose, I converted it into JPEG on ANOTHER computer.)
For movies, AVI can be playback without problem. But when it is converted to MPEG, it looks like an untunned TV channel.
FIXES TRIED:
I did erase and install 3 to 4 times using both the install disc and my Tiger Family Pack. All ended up with strips on the JPEG images and the generated MPEG movies.
I've also tried to flash the firmware to 113-xxxxx-124 using ATI's october 2005 universal ROM update, however, the ROM Revision shown in System Profiler is still 113-xxxxx-116 no matter how many time I reboot the system.
INVESTIGATION:
Yesterday, I did some research and got to know that JPEG and MPEG are using DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) for decompression. And the ATI Radeon 9200 chip provide such a transform on hardware basis, which free the CPU from doing something else. Feel free to point out my inaccuracy.
HARDWARE SPECIFICATION:
I bought the Mac Mini in the last Februray.
The system Boot ROM version is: 4.8.9f1
Display card is ATI Radeon 9200
Chipset Model: ATY,RV280
Revision ID: 0x0001
ROM Revision: 113-xxxxx-116
A POSSIBLE CONCLUSION:
I suspect that it is this part of the chip (the DCT) that is faulty.
Anyone know how to fix this problem?
Many thanks!

Assuming that your display is tightly connected, thus the problem is not caused by something as simple as that, the fact that a full erase and install has not removed the problem would, I think, point to this being a hardware issue, and given that everyone's mini (with the possible exception of some of the latest ones) has the same video chipset as yours, and do not suffer the problem that you appear to, it seems very likely that your mini has a fault which is in need of repair.
If you have an Apple Store nearby, I would take it there to have it checked out - at the very least they should be able to replicate your problem using an in-store display, and if not, thusly suggest it's something external to the mini and concerning your display or something very unusual in the immediate environment of the mini. If you don't have an Apple Store in reach, I'd take the system to an Apple authorized service provider since at the present time it is under warranty.

Is new Mac mini sufficiently powerful to edit HD video in iMovie?

All,
I am considering purchasing the new Mac mini and would like to know if it is powerful enough to edit HD video in iMovie imported from a mini-dv-based video camera now that it has the GeForce 320M. Any insight is much appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks for your responses. HDV is the format my camcorder uses. The main thing I was trying to determine is whether the new Mac mini (and it's new NVidia hardware) had enough computing horsepower to handle the HD video. My current, first generation Mac mini grinds to a halt when i try to do anything with HD but is fine for SD.

Mac Mini (HDMI) Bootcamp Windows 7; no video after wake

I just installed Windows 7 on a bootcamp partition on a new mac mini with the HDMI out. Everything was fine until I left the machine for a while and it went to sleep. After waking it up I no longer get any video output, either via the HDMI or MiniDisplay port. I don't really want to turn off the sleep function of windows 7. Any hints as to how I could make this stop?

I tried a suggestion from another thread and found that if I switched the hdmi cable to another input on my Sony TV video was restored, then if I switch it back to the original input it works. It may be a problem with the hdmi hand shaking between the mini and the TV - because unplugging and replugging to the same port didn't work. I'll see how repeatable this recovery work around is.

Mac Mini for editing uncompressed full HD videos?

I'm thinking about buying the Mac Mini, but I don't know if it's capable or even powerful enough to edit uncompressed full HD videos. I'm looking to buy the i7 quad-core model. While upgrading the RAM myself. Or, is the i5 dual-core more than enough to edit uncompressed HD video, as well? If not, should I get the least expensive, 21.5-inch iMac instead? I will be using Final Cut Pro X to edit. Oh, and they're game play footage. Nothing like RED, which will need to have a super computer to edit.

The Mini doesn't have a real Video card, just Intel HD4000, but should work fine for "light" editing fine with the i7.
Looks like you'll not get any GPU acceration with Premiere Pro...

Is a mac mini good enough for editing home video?

I'm considering buying a man mini to do basic video editing. This will be home videos, nothing heavy. Will a mac mini cope with putting an hours and a halfs worth of holiday clips together?

I would say YES. If you are planning of using iMovie, for example.
I was doing my family videos on my "old" iMac 2007, with Corde2Duo. I'm sure it's quite enough on the new plateform.
At least, it's the first price to do it.
I'm waiting a possible new line of Mac Mini, with latest features to get it.

Help! Mac Mini has a life of its own!

My mac mini (I have an 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo running leopard 10.5.5
2GB RAM with 4 USB ports) all of a sudden is shutting down and running commands over and over on the screen. This is the computer my autistic son uses to communicate (he can't write-only type). so I need it up and running quickly...can anyone help?

Boot from the OS installer CD - you put the CD in, start up while holding the"c" key down.
Proceed as if you want to install the Os, until you see the Utilities menu on the top of the screen. Clcik there, then select Disk Utility. In the new window select the hard drive (in the left column), then click on Repair drive.
After that, run Repair Permissions.
Good luck.
