Mac mini sometimes stays warm when asleep

I've noticed that sometimes my Mini will be warm in the morning after it's been asleep but sometimes it's cold. I'm not sure what's causing this difference but I could guess that it's an application still making a demand of some sort. Is there a way to verify this? I've noticed that occasionally my Mail icon is bouncing in the dock. This is because I've got that annoying problem where iCloud keeps requesting my password for the p07-imap.mail.me.com server. Could this request be waking it up?
Also, I usually never make a habit of turning my macs off, and prefer just waking them instead. In the past I have only had laptops so this is my first desk top. Can I safely only put the desktop to sleep without powering it up each day?

Hold your horsey their missy. It might not be that big of a deal.
BIG question. Do you have an external drive attached to the MINI via FW800?
Have you tried to create a bootable external drive with a fresh install of OS X from your back up disk and see if the problem still exists?
How about booting from the install disk (don't install anything) let it just run and see if you have the same problem?
If your Mac won't wake up booted from the install disk then you can suspect a hardware issue.

Mac Mini wont stay shut down

Hi. I have a mac mini. I bought it about april of '07. When i shut down my mac mini, it stays off for about five minutes and then turns back on automatically.
anyone have this issue before?
im running Mac OS X v 10.4.11

Open the Accounts preferecne pane and select your account. Click the Login Items tab. In the list you will then see, you should see one or more EyeTV applications (I can't recall the exact names, but it's clear what they are). Click to select it (or them) and then click the '-' button beneath the window to remove them.
That will delete the EyeTV scheduler/helper that is responsible for auto-waking systems.
Don't just UNcheck the application(s) because that merely hides them!

Hi I installed a new hard drive in my Mac mini osx lion an when I turn it on I get a flashing file with a question mark. I tried holding command and R keys when turning it on but the recovery fails to work. Does any one know how I can get it to recover?

Hi I installed a new hard drive in my Mac mini osx lion an when I turn it on I get a flashing file with a question mark. I tried holding command and R keys when turning it on but the recovery fails to work. I can hold the option key at start up and choose my network, then Internet recovery shows up with an arrow pointing up. When I click on the arrow Internet recovery fails and all I get is a globe with a triangle on it with an exclamation mark on it, and under that it says
apple.com/support
-6002F
Does any one know how I can fix this without a recovery disc? Thanks

I just want to add to this, in case someone else searches for this error on Apple Support (google doesnt cover apple support.. how clever is that?)
I had the same error. And i had a Computer that had worked, with a SSD drive and 16GB upgrade done by the owner himself.
I tried swapping with a Mechinal Harddrive, no luck.
Kept the Mechanical drive in, and tried with some other Ram, it worked..
So for me this error and after reading the other responses can be boiled down to a Harddrive problem or Ram issue.
It was Ram for me..

I'm using LR5.7 on a Mac Mini running Mavericks and when I attempt to import a folder of new RAW photos from my external drive into my catalog instead of seeing a preview of each thumbnail photo I see the following message displayed: "Preview Unavailable

I'm using LR5.7 on a Mac Mini running Mavericks and when I attempt to import a folder of new RAW photos from my external drive into my catalog instead of seeing a preview of each thumbnail photo I see the following message displayed: "Preview Unavailable for this file." If I highlight any other folder of photos the previews are all there. What is the likely reason for these previews being unavailable? JohnnyCam

What camera took these RAW photos?
Did you use any Nikon software to transfer the photos to your computer's hard disk?

Mac mini loses wifi connection when using vnc....

I currently dont have an aextra keyboard, mouse and monitor so for short term id like to connect remotely to it. I configured the sharing settings in system preferences on my mac. Im running Mac OS X Lion 10.7 and Im using tightvnc on my windows computer and its having a hard time getting connected to the mac mini. I notice when I try to connect my wifi connection on the mini drops. Can anyone tell me why this is? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Angelo

We'd need a Monitor & KB/Mouse on the Mini, or another Mac to log into it, but you might try navigation to...
/private/var/log folder on the Mac & maybe look at the system.log if you can on a PC.

Does 2012 mac mini get very hot when using logic pro

does 2012 mac mini get very hot when using logic pro

Are you saying that your machine does or is it an enquiry before buying ? I use a 2011 server model - well, it does get hot over a period of time, but I've very rarely heard the fan kick in, its a surprise when it does. As far as I know the casing has been specifically designed to conduct heat, rather than having any fancy grilles and so on, being so small in size. I haven't found it to be cause for concern, if that's any help.

Mac Mini Get's Warm/Hot to Touch When Powered OFF

Question...Does your Mac Mini become WARM or HOT to the touch especially in the rear and on the bottom when the Mini is completely powered down, but still plugged into an outlet?
I leave mine turned off when not around it for extended periods of time. I don't usually leave any computer on when I'm gone for a while. Anyhow this past Wed. I came home and went to turn it on. It was incredibly warm on the rear side with all the connectors and especially on the bottom, but this was before the machine was even turned on.
The external power supply was warm and there was nothing unusual about that.
This is the new 2.0ghz mini and I've had it for less than two weeks. Do all Mini's get warm like this when they are turned off???? Cause that's really weird.

Please note that I was not quibbling with the characterization of your experiences - the early G5 iMac and iBook logic board issues alone are clear indications that sometimes Apple gets it wrong.
Whether lucky or not, I have not experienced these types of problems with Apple equipment, and along with my own systems I've bought and had responsibility for some thousands of them over the years - along with a fairly liberal dose of various PCs, and a probably similar lineup of earlier systems as you. I've found most to be reliable, and amongst all those, my 1986 vintage SE is still going strong, and one of my favorite systems is a late 1999 first generation G4 powermac which has run 24/7 since it was first unpacked - less a day for some upgrades to be fitted and the occasional update-derived reboot. My first-generation G5 DP has been superbly stable, never failing once, and it's a rare event that I get called to deal with a problematic Mac.
However, no number of positive experiences from others negates the negative you have experienced. The point is that for one side there is almost invariably a counterpoint. I must say, however, that if I had experienced a similar list of issues, I'd likely not have Apple written anywhere on my shopping list for future products - I suppose it speaks somewhat to the nature of the product when it works, that you're still a customer!
But still, all that aside, I would call Apple regarding the heating of the mini. That it might be warm to the touch after being off for a while would be expected, but I don't think it should show any greater signs of heat than that. Sadly I couldn't tell you for sure until early next week, since the one C2D we have is being kept busy! I will ask the user to shut it down at the end of the day however, and check it on Tuesday morning.

My Mac Mini goes to sleep when I turn off my TV.

Hello and thanks in advance for all help. I have a Intel mac mini that I currently have hooked up via DVI/DVI cable to my Sony LCD television. I recently upgraded the OS to 10.5 from 10.4. The issue that I am having after the OS upgrade has to do with the Mac going to sleep after I turn the TV off. It also goes to sleep if I set up the display to sleep after a period of time even if I have the computer itself set to never sleep. Right now I have the computer set to never sleep and the display to never sleep but when we turn the TV off the computer goes to sleep anyway. The reason why I need the computer to stay awake is because we use a Magicjack at our home for our local phone service and it is plugged into one of the USB ports on the computer. If the computer goes to sleep we loose our home phone service. I am wondering what could be causing the computer to sleep when the display is turned off. When I upgraded to 10.5 I did a clean install and not a upgrade.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks very much to all.

Thanks so much for your help. This fixed things perfect. The only thing I may add for anyone else that has this issue is that it is important to reconnect the power cable to the computer first and then after a few seconds reconnect all of your other cables. The first time I tried it I reconnected the power cable last and it still didn't fix things. I gave it another try reconnecting the power cable first and now everything is perfect.
Thanks again for your help,
Rich

2012 Mac Mini becoming very slow when using finder

Hi!
I've had my 2012 Mac Mini (10.9 Mavericks, Dual Booted W/ Windows) since February 2014 (Late to the party, I know) and, up until about a week ago, it was fine.
Then, all of a sudden, it starts being unusabley slow the moment I try to do anything in finder. Relaunching finder makes it a bit more bareable, and rebooting fixes it completely until I next open finder. I thought this may have been one of those rare times when a Mac gets a virus, however, AVG found nothing. The next thing I found was that it was to do with the fact that my hard drive was full (it was quite full) and that if I was using all of my 4GB of RAM that my Mac would use virtual memory, and that this would effect the speed if I didn't have a lot of HDD space. However, despite removing nearly 1/2 of the things on my HDD, the problem still persists. I have basically ruled out visiting "the local" apple store, as I'm in the middle of nowhere. the nearest one is around 3 hours away.
Thanks,
Dan

1. This is a comment on what you should—and should not—do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet and gets onto a computer as an unintended consequence of the user's actions. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the computer, or who has been able to log in to it remotely. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it.
If you find this comment too long or too technical, read only sections 5, 6, and 10.
OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user. Internally Apple calls it "XProtect."
The malware recognition database used by XProtect is automatically updated; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
The following caveats apply to XProtect:
It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
   3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
Apple has so far failed to revoke the codesigning certificates of some known abusers, thereby diluting the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. These failures don't involve App Store products, however.
   For the reasons given, App Store products, and—to a lesser extent—other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. Sandbox security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they are not, and never will be, complete protection. Malware is a problem of human behavior, and a technological fix is not going to solve it. Trusting software to protect you will only make you more vulnerable.
The best defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the scam artists. If you're smarter than they think you are, you'll win. That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. How do you know when you're leaving the safe harbor? Below are some warning signs of danger.
Software from an untrustworthy source
Software of any kind is distributed via BitTorrent. or Usenet, or on a website that also distributes pirated music or movies.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, doesn't come directly from the developer’s website. Do not trust an alert from any website to update Flash, your browser, or anything else.
Rogue websites such as Softonic and CNET Download distribute free applications that have been packaged in a superfluous "installer."
The software is advertised by means of spam or intrusive web ads. Any ad, on any site, that includes a direct link to a download should be ignored.
Software that is plainly illegal or does something illegal
High-priced commercial software such as Photoshop is "cracked" or "free."
An application helps you to infringe copyright, for instance by circumventing the copy protection on commercial software, or saving streamed media for reuse without permission.
Conditional or unsolicited offers from strangers
A telephone caller or a web page tells you that you have a “virus” and offers to help you remove it. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
A web site offers free content such as video or music, but to use it you must install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "downloader," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one.
You win a prize in a contest you never entered.
Someone on a message board such as this one is eager to help you, but only if you download an application of his choosing.
A "FREE WI-FI !!!" network advertises itself in a public place such as an airport, but is not provided by the management.
Anything online that you would expect to pay for is "free."
Unexpected events
You open what you think is a document and get an alert that it's "an application downloaded from the Internet." Click Cancel and delete the file. Even if you don't get the alert, you should still delete any file that isn't what you expected it to be.
An application does something you don't expect, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
Software is attached to email that you didn't request, even if it comes (or seems to come) from someone you trust.
I don't say that leaving the safe harbor just once will necessarily result in disaster, but making a habit of it will weaken your defenses against malware attack. Any of the above scenarios should, at the very least, make you uncomfortable.
   6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it—not JavaScript—in your browsers.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
Stay within the safe harbor, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself.
7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" (AV) or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they are all worse than useless. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free security apps in the Mac App Store—nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial AV products?
To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. This technique is a proven failure, as a major AV software vendor has admitted. Most attacks are "zero-day"—that is, previously unknown. Recognition-based AV does not defend against such attacks, and the enterprise IT industry is coming to the realization that traditional AV software is worthless.
Its design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere.
In order to meet that nonexistent threat, commercial AV software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
By modifying the operating system, the software itself may create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
Most importantly, a false sense of security is dangerous.
8. An AV product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," has the same drawback as the commercial suites of being always out of date, but it does not inject low-level code into the operating system. That doesn't mean it's entirely harmless. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
An AV app is not needed, and cannot be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful, if at all, only for detecting Windows malware, and even for that use it's not really effective, because new Windows malware is emerging much faster than OS X malware.
Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else. A malicious attachment in email is usually easy to recognize by the name alone. An actual example:
London Terror Moovie.avi [124 spaces] Checked By Norton Antivirus.exe
You don't need software to tell you that's a Windows trojan. Software may be able to tell you which trojan it is, but who cares? In practice, there's no reason to use recognition software unless an institutional policy requires it. Windows malware is so widespread that you should assume it's in every email attachment until proven otherwise. Nevertheless, ClamXav or a similar product from the App Store may serve a purpose if it satisfies an ill-informed network administrator who says you must run some kind of AV application. It's free and it won't handicap the system.
The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have all the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
10. As a Mac user you don't have to live in fear that your computer may be infected every time you install software, read email, or visit a web page. But neither should you assume that you will always be safe from exploitation, no matter what you do. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.

2014 Mac Mini shows pink screen when waking

I have a 2014 3Ghz i7 mac mini which I have attempted to connect two different Asus monitors via two different HDMI cables in multiple configurations. Regardless of the connection combination when the mac awakes from sleep or from the screensaver (to show the login screen) the screen shows up as bright pink and I can barely make out the password box.
Turning off the monitor and turning it back on corrects the problem as does waiting about 10 seconds for the monitor to go out of sync and return. After this time the issue goes away until the computer sleeps or I enter the sleep saver again and have to re-login.
Is anyone else encountering this?
PRAM and SMC have been reset already.

I don’t know if this solves the pink screen problem, whatever it is. I’m not a techie so this is all I can offer.
I got my Mini end of December and the pink screen problem just started now. I had no pink screen until I went to change the Sleep / Wake settings. Then I started getting the pink screen with desktop barely showing through. So think when / if you changed your settings from the default. Maybe your problem started after that.
Returning settings to default doesn't fix it. I also tried to check / uncheck different sleep / wake settings, but didn't work either.
I have the latest Mac Mini 3 GHz
Intel Core i7, 16 GB RAM Yosemite 10.10.2.
External ASUS PA248 monitor via HDMI.
I know everyone has different set-ups with slight variations in the problem, but maybe this will help some people. It seem to have worked to solve the pink from appearing, but I don’t think it has solved he actual problem. At least if I have to go to my computer every half hour, I don’t have to wear out my monitor button by having to turn it on all the time just to get rid of the pink screen.
I know people want their Mini to sleep but for these instructions your Mini will have to remain awake all the time.
This is my monitor set up.
Screen saver set to go on in 10 minutes.
Monitor shuts off in 15 minutes.
The Mini stays on all the time, no sleep or wake cycles.
1. Go to ENERGY SAVINGS
2. The only thing I have checked is, “Prevent the computer from sleeping automatically when the display is off. Leave the rest unchecked".
3. Then go to SCHEDULE Uncheck these,
START UP OR WAKE and SLEEP settings.
Hit OK
Exit ENERGY SAVINGS.
Let your monitor turn off, come back later. Sit down and re-try to to turn on your desktop. DON'T click away on your mouse or move it back and forth furiously like you want your desktop to load RIGHT NOW. Well I did that and the system didn't like that and the pink was back. It seems the system needs a few seconds to load up the desktop. Click the mouse button once, or move the mouse a a TINY bit. Wait a bit and the desktop should appear WITH NO PINK SCREEN, hopefully.
Hope this helps.

Why does mac mini power shut down when trying to use external harddrive as boot drive?

I connected a OWC Mercy Elite Pro external hard drive that has it's own power source to my mac mini. It's connected by firewire and I'm trying to use it as an external boot drive. The problem is when I have the power turned on the OWC before I turn the power on the mac mini, the mac powers up but then shuts down after about 30 seconds. However, if I wait to turn on the OWC power after the mac boots up there is no issue. Of course this defeats the purpose of using the OWC as a boot drive because it needs to be on before the mac boots up. I don't have any issues using another external hard drive as a boot drive that doesn't have a power source.

Hmmm, very strange, could there be a ground loop where the OWC drive is plugged in?
If you hold alt or option key at bootup, without the OWC drive, once the boot manager shows up connect the OWC drive, wait, does the OWC drive show up eventually as a boot choice, or what happens?

2012 mac mini does not boot when usb 3 drive is connected

I have a late 2012 Mac Mini, Ivy Bridge, that has a USB 3.0 external hard drive connected to it. If the hard drive is powered on when I power up the Mac Mini, I get a light grey screen, but never see the Apple logo and the system just sists there. If I boot the Mac Mini with the USB 3.0 drive connected, but powered off, the Mac Mini boots just fine. Interestingly enough, if I reboot the Mac Mini with the USB 3.0 hard drive attached, the Mac Mini boots normally. I have installed all of the OS patches I can find and have not had any luck in resolving this. Does anyone have an idea what might be going on?

Something to check. Power everything down. Turn on
your external drives then do a PRAM zap booting the MIni.
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11243
It may or may not help.
If it doesn't, then check the system log starting from the time
you start up the Mini and see what the last entry was. Wait a fair
amount of time so a gap in time in the log can be seen when you turn
the drive off. Could determine if it is some hardware issue, as BDAqua
was suggesting, or a driver issue.

Why does my mac mini crash and reboot when I do a time machine backup to a USB Hard Disk?

This is the second time it has happened, the first was with a powered USB Hard Disk, this time with a WD Elements HD.
The first time, it crashed and popped up an alert saying the machine needed to be restarted.
After restarting it continued, then around half way through it crashed again.
It then would not boot as it said the Mac Mini's HD was corrupted.
Tried to repair using the recovery mode, with no joy.
Reformatted Hard Disk, went to recover using online recovery, got a 6002F error and it wouldn't reinstall
Took to apple service centre, they wanted to charge to reinstall the OS (put them straight on that ).
Now it looks like it's doing it again, this time after the first crash I'm just copying the files I need manually to the external Hard Disk, which so far is OK.
Seems these macs aren't so reliable.
Any ideas?
Cheers

Hi den.thed,
thanks for the tips, unfortunately when tryong to start the machine to do a Hardware test (to check RAM) I get the error 6002D so I'm guessing there's something more complicated afoot.
Unfortunatley the service centre here in Malaysia doesn't seem to have any "Geniuses" or indeed any "Comptencies" as it has only just come back from their after they had it for a week.
Makes me want to buy Dell, at least the come to you to fix.

Logitech S 530: Mac Mini sometimes doesn't recognise the keyboard/mouse

Hi!
I bought the Logitech S 530 for my Mac Mini Intel Core Solo some weeks ago. Sometimes the mac doesn't recognize the keyboard/mouse set and the Logitech Control Center say "No logitech-hardware found". And then all the extra buttons on my mouse and keyboard doesn't work. A simple restart doesn't solve the problem. Often I habe to switch of the computer or even deinstall und reinstall the driver. I wrote to the Logitech Support, and they told me to delete as a root-user some files and then to reinstall the Logitech Control Center. I did it, but the problem wasn't solved. Even if the Logitech Control Center told me, that the hardware wasn't found, the system profiler say:
USB Receiver:
Version: 22.40
Bus-Strom (mA): 500
Geschwindigkeit: Bis zu 1,5 MBit/s
Hersteller: Logitech
Produkt-ID: 0xc50c
Hersteller-ID: 0x046d
Does anyone have a idea about this problem?
Thank you,
Sebastian

Hi!
Has it continued to work alright since your last post
on Sept. 30?
Yes, it works very good (as you can read, because I type on it!)
But I got some news from the APE-Support:
They told me, that this message in the system.log isn't a error message: "You'll see these messages simply to inform that Application Enhancer cannot and does not affect processes owned by root. They are purely informative." Then I asked, why this "information" is written in the system.log I got another mail. They told me, that this message came from a maxtor software, which I installed to use my externel drive. and: "The maxtor software doesn't use APE at all. APE is saying it cannot affect the software in any manner, in case you were expecting it to work with the maxtor software. I'm not sure if that maxtor software even works. If you don't use the button on your maxtor drive, you can just disable the maxtor software completely."
So, I seems that there is a problem between this logitech driver with APE and the Maxtor-Stuff. But, Ashleyn, do you use the maxtor software too?
