Mac Mini Slow Boot. Leopard
I have a Mac Mini 5 months old running Leopard as delivered.
Recently has started taking 5 minutes to boot.
I see no obvious troubleshooting tools I would expect with a Windows PC to assist.
What are the likley causes?
What tools can I use to debug problems?
I have installed all up to date software, but not any firmware updates if indeed such things are available.
MAc is new to me so apologies if this is obvious!!
If it is primarily slow in the blue screen part of the startup process, then the system has already located the boot disk. The boot disk is simply the drive with macOS installed on it that the system uses to start up on, and is of course normally the internal hard drive.
You will have received a DVD with the mini that has a version of MacOS on it that can boot the system, primarily for use if and when you need to reinstall MacOS because the installer is also on that same disk. Also on this DVD, there are a few basic and simple utilities for checking and testing the system, but these are rarely, if ever, needed.
First thing to do is open System Preferences - it's the square icon with the cog-wheel design near the right-hand end of the dock. You'll see a number of preference 'panes' in there (the equivalent of Windows control panels) which allow you to set a range of appearance and behavioural defaults in the system. Most are pretty self explanatory of course. Open the Startup Disk pane, and after a second or two once the panel shows the available startup volumes, you should see your internal drive listed, and probably also 'network startup'. Select your internal drive and click the restart button. This is just to make sure that you have your internal drive set as the startup so MacOS doesn't need to go searching for it.
Once the system restarts after that, and assuming the restart is still pretty slow, open Disk Utility (open your hard drive, then the Applications folder, then the Utilities folder - it's in there) and select your internal hard drive on the left. Then click 'Verify Disk' to check the drive if functionally OK. If it completes verification with no errors, next click 'Repair Disk Permissions'. This will ensure that the drive is healthy and all the user and system rights are correct. Errors with these can cause boot problems (and a great deal of other issues too).
If that doesn't resolve the problem, disconnect the USB hub (and all the devices connected to it) and reboot the system to check it isn't a USB issue. USB can cause lots of issues on both Mac and Windows systems, so it's always a good thing to troubleshoot with the minimum of devices connected.

Hello, im new to macs having always had windows before.
I bought my mac mini about a month ago and its been great, but the past few times ive booted it up its been slow to get to the log in screen and then once there my wireless trackpad and keyboard wont work.
If i turn them off and on it acknoledges that they have been turned off and on, but cant move the cursor or type.
If i press a volume buton the keyboard after about 2 minutes the symbol will come up on the screen, where its finally decided to accept what the keyboard wants to do and it all works fine from then on.
Any ideas whats causing this?
As i say, im new to all this mac business so be gentle with me.Ive not instaled much, just iexplorer, hands off, final cut pro, transmission, vlc, youtube to mp3, adapter.
All i really use this for is browing the net, updating my ipod and iphone, storing photos, videos.
When i turned it on just now it done its big stall, so i opened console up and copied it from its last shut down.
I dont know what im looking at really, so im hoping one of you guys could teach me.

Mac mini and Snow leopard wireless problems
Hi,
I got mac mini running snow leopard to our office from another branch, this is recently brought mac mini with snow leopard installed,
But the problem is I cannot connect to internet using wireless connections. Reading other posts i found out that there is a snow leopard issues with connecting to wireless network, but this problem seems to unique. When i connect to wireless network it shows me that, mac mini is connected to wireless network but doesn't take ip address from dhcp , its show some self assigned ip which is 169.254.226.163, but my network address are 192.168.1.*, ethernet works fines,but in wireless even when i gave manual ip , it connect but i cannot connect to internet neither i can ping to router.
I tried various methods suggests in forms, like deleting network preference files in /Library/Preferences and ~/Library/Preferences and also deleting network connection and adding new one, even updating to 10.6.3 but nothing works for me,
My macbook nicely connected to wireless and get ip, even PC connect nicely this issue is only with Mac mini
Could have suggest me how can i fixed this, Thank you very much,
Best Regards,
Waruna.
Message was edited by: warunacdsThanks DaddyPaycheck for your initial response. Before I jump onto the phone with Comcast couple of questions that I have for clarification purposes:
1) Are you implying that I must link my blabla.com address to that static IP address through my Domain Provider? See following example:
Record Type Record Host Record Answer TTL
A *.blablat.com >>Static IP<< 300
2) The current IP I have been given 60.172.151.254, why is that not static or how do you know it is not static?
3) When executing the command host in terminal for this IP address it returns the following: c-60-172-151-254.hsdl.co.comcast.net which coincidentally is the same as primary DNS it recommended during the initial configuration of the Mini Server. What does this mean? When I enter this in Safari it results in 'Safari can't connect to server'.
4) Executing the same command for my domain name 'blabla.com' it results in my 'internal' IP address '1.0.10.9'.
Thanks in advance for any clarification you can provide,
Tiest. -

How do I find what taking up all my hardrive space on my mac mini running snow leopard ?
Hi Gibby,
How much free space is on the HD, where has all the space gone?
OmniDiskSweeper is likely the easiest/best, and is now free...
http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnidisksweeper/download/
And if needed, you can use Terminal to run it in admin mode to see files/folders your user can't see...

Hi
I am considering buying Mac Mini with Snow Leopard server. Before that, I want to know about wiki server 2 capabilities. Wiki Server 2 page says following:
"Mac OS X Server makes it easy for groups to collaborate and communicate through their own wiki-powered intranet website complete with group calendar, blog, and mailing list"
I am planning to setup wiki server for a small group of users over Internet (and not intranet) to exchange information and so it should look something like wiki.mydomain.com with login capabilities for user(and again, this is over internet).
My Question: Can wiki server 2 work with web server to support above (or similar) setup?
If not, what can be done to support above setup?
Response appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.Michael Maslen wrote:
Jason, what is your source of information that this is a supported configuration?
I work at Apple. Thats why I have the !http://discussions.apple.com/images/status/apple_employee-16x16.gif! logo below my username.
The new Mac mini comes in three different configurations, two of those have the standard version of Snow Leopard.
There is an article that addresses issues similar to this here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2186, but switching from Snow Leopard Server to Snow Leopard is not like trying to install Tiger when the Mac mini came with Snow Leopard.
You can also verify this by contacting an Apple specialist at: 1-800-MY-APPLE or call U.S. iPod and Mac technical support at: 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273).

Is my Mac Mini slow because of Leopard...or do I need more memory?
I've had my Mac Mini for 18 months and am a happy convert to Apple, although I still use Windows at work. I recently installed Leopard on my Mac Mini and it seems to run a bit slower, especially when I have a lot open. It has a 1.66 GHz, Intel Core Duo processor, 2 cores, 2MB L2 Cache, 512 MB memory, 667 MHz Bus Speed, etc...not sure what it all means, but that's what I have.
Should I be considering upgrading anything, or checking on anything to speed it up?Honestly, I'm surprised a 512GB Mini will even run.....
Which just goes to show how easily it has become common currency that Leopard won't run in less than 1Gb, when it fact it's perfectly happy in 512Mb RAM - as long as the user isn't running PPC software, or multiple applications, or expecting fast performance.
And honestly, while maxing out the mini to it's 3Gb limit is going to give best possible performance, it is hardly necessary for a satisfactory user experience. It depends a great deal on what the user needs, and for many that means the the 1Gb base is plenty sufficient. More is better, but not always necessary. -
HT1352 After Accepting Update On 32-bit Mac Mini Running Snow Leopard 10.6.8, The Mac Won't Boot
About a month ago, I was using my older Mac-Mini which was running 10.6.8, a screen came up from the Mac App Store, telling me that an update to OS X was available so I took the update.
I regret it now. When the Mac restarted itself, it went down, but it hasn't been back up since.
I've been around Macs a long time now, and I should know by now to restart, quitting all of my apps and everything as much as possible. The Apple updater really should restart before and after a system update, in my humble opinion.
But, I want to get my old Mac running again now.
I've researched this some and I've tried the following
* Disconnected all peripherals, except the monitor, and cycled power.
* Cycled the power and tried to zap the P-RAM (NV-RAM)
* Cycled the power and then hold down the "D" key (for diagnostic).
* Cycled the power again and hold down the Option key (to boot from the original optical disk).
* Cycled the power again and hold down the "C" key (ditto)
* Cycled the power again and hold down Command-V (for verbose mode)
* Cycled the power again and hold down Option-Command-O-F (to get into open-firmare) I don't know if I have an open-firmare password, but nothing else worked.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1352
Maybe open-firmare isn't the issue as to why the other key-combinations didn't work.
I've tried a different keyboard and mouse.
I doubt that the problem is a hardware problem. The problem seems so highly correlated with my taking anothing OS update from Apple.@Carolyn, thank you very much for your reply. I appreciate you taking the time to try and help me.
> Hold down the C key to boot from an install disc, not the Option key.
I inserted my Snow Leopard install disk and cycled the power, holding downt he C key and I got to the grey screen with the Apple logo in the center of the screen with a little spinning progress indicator. This is what I always get.
> Try booting in Safe Mode and verify the startup disk for errors.
> Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
> A Safe Mode boot takes much longer than a normal boot so be patient.
I carefully read and followed the link on Safe Mode that you provided and I got the same result as always.
> Once you are in Safe Mode, launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
> Select the startup disk on the left then select the First tab.
> Click Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
Maybe it is something of a hardware problem. Maybe the disk does need to be repaired, but I can't get in to repair it now.
I will keep this in mind when taking updates from Apple in the future.
1. Quit all applications.
2. Verify the disk and repair any errors.
3. Restart.
4. Then, let Apple update my software.
> Boot from your install disc while holding down the C key if Disk Utility reports problems.
> Mac OS X 10.6: Reinstalling Mac OS X
I've done this before, with the same Mac-Mini and the same optiical disk, and it worked.
I also tried starting in target-disk mode, but I always get the same result, the grey screen with an Apple logo and a spinning progress indicator.
I don't know what else to try.

2005 mac mini on OSX leopard will not boot up from firewire disk
I have an old mac mini that my son still uses and the super dirve does not work any more. But now the main hard disk needs to some attention from Disk Utility. So I need to boot up from the Leopard install DVD. But of course the DVD dirve does not work so how to do this? I have tried to create a bootable disk by restoring the install DVD to a partition on a firewire drive and this is seen as a bootable drive by my 2008 iMac, but not by the Mac Mini. So is it possible to boot up rom a irewire drive? USB doesn't work either
Which Tiger Install DVD do you have...?
1. I think that, that model originally came with 10.4.10 and so you will need either the original 10.4.10 install disc or a later retail (Leopard or Snow Leopard) upgrade DVD.
2. In addition, a new (HDD, Hybrid Drive or SSD) must first be Partitioned GUID Partition Table and Formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled) before OS X can be installed. -
My Mac Mini with Snow Leopard doesn't boot
When booting, I see a gray screen, a blue screen and another gray with the
little round activity meeter which suddenly stops, and the picture freezes.
Is there any good step-by-step guide for troubleshooting this?
I'm not sure I have 10.6.2, but I keep it upgraded.Is your Mac Mini purchased new since August 28, 2009? If it is, are you using the Mac Mini Snow Leopard installer disc? Only the disc prebundled with such Mac Minis will install a Mac OS X on those Mac Minis.
If it is older, are you using the retail 10.6 installer disc which looks like * If not, only those discs, which are not labelled OEM, Upgrade, or DropIn will install 10.6 on your Mac. You can't use the disc prebundled with another Mac on it.
Use the startup manager to boot the discs:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106178
If the hard disc is not apparent, a data recovery software may be necessary if your data is not backed up*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
If your hard drive is present, read what I said earlier about booting off the correct installer disc, if the hard disk is not able to boot, and booting off the Snow Leopard installer. That will allow you to repair the directory of a backed up system. If your system is not backed up, and won't boot, then look at my backup link above to recover your system first before attempting any installation or directory repair of your hard disc. Any attempt install a new system on a hard disc that won't boot an existing system will only result in a corrupted system. Any attempt to repair a directory may result in worse issues if the hard drive is marginal. So at least having a recovered data set if not a backed up one is essential before doing any repairs on your system.

1 week purchased Mac mini slow to boot with preinstalled mavericks.
I've just purchased a mac mini 2.5Ghz with Mavericks preinstalled. I've added 8GB ram so it has 10gb. Apart from that everything else is standard. I've moved from a iMac with Lion and it was much faster to boot up. The mac mini takes about 1.5 - 2 minutes to get to the login screen. I'm thinking an SSD will help but I don't want to pay for one just yet.
When i'm logged in, everything runs fine. I've only had one strange issue. I've had this mac mini for a week and I've looked through suggestions boards, I will try the sudo commands that have been referenced in the communities. But I am feeling like mavericks is the Windows equivalent of Vista. I understand that there hasn't been updates to the Mac mini hardware wise for sometime, but in the past with other upgrades I've done (but with other models) there haven't been any issues like these ones with boot times.
I am interested to see if other mac mini users also have these issues - it seems more to be a mavericks issue. I am just a bit flabbergasted that I never even though this could be a problem.Thanks, I think I really need to get an SSD - been reading alot in the last 30 minutes about the improvement. For now I will put up with it because I don't want to spend the money just yet. I'm pretty darn pleased with my mac mini i'll be gutted if they remove these from the line up!!!

Mac Mini running Snow leopard gray screen won't boot up.
My mac mini server was running great! working on some file sharing issues system crashed. Ran utilities check repair disks and first aid said no problems with either HD. I would like to reboot and install system software. without deleting my tunes lib. and some other software. what can I do?
I think you want to first disable Lion Server: How to disable Lion Server. Then reinstall Lion:
Reinstalling Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alterhatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.
Then reinstall Lion Server. -
Hi. I've had this unibody Mac Mini for a while, but over the last few months it has been very slow to repond - to clicks, app launches, everything. Almost all menu clicks take 3 seconds to react, and sometimes incur pinwheeling for up to a minute. Sometimes (seemingly randomly) apps just never get around to loading. The change did not coincide with installing Lion, unlike most of the other similar threads here, so I'm posting this separately.
To preempt the most obvious things: I have 4Gb RAM and over 400Gb hard drive space free. I have tried clean installs of both Snow Leopard and Lion several times and the problem persists even after a fresh install. I have watched Activity Monitor for long periods and there's barely any load (though even the CPU graph stutters). I have tried disabling Spotlight and Bluetooth. Apple and Memtest disk and RAM diagnostics find nothing wrong. The problem persists in Safe Mode, but booting from a USB stick works fine, which suggests it's not a graphics card issue.
Any ideas? Getting rather desperate, as it's going to be my main computer soon and it's basically not useable like this.
