Mac mini was slow, better
My mac mini had started running slow. I tried repairing permissions, reinstalling software from scratch to no avail.
So I reset the mini by unplugging the power cord, holding the power button down then pressing again.
Immediately a puff of dust spewed out of the mini and the fan came on full speed.
I have never heard the fan on before ever.
Now it won't go off but it seems a bit more responsive.
Should the fan have been on all along for light task such as web surfing.
The fan should run all the time the system is powered, but typically slowly enough that you can barely hear it. When CPU load is high and the temperature inside the unit begins to rise, the fan should then spin up until it reaches a speed where it is very noticeable. It should generally NOT run at full speed when web browsing, though if there is flash content or heavy graphics embedded in a page, you may hear the fan spin up for what ought to be fairly brief intervals.
You don't say which model of mini you have, but the reset procedure you appear to be describing sounds like the PMU reset for the G4 mini. If so, it doesn't work on Intel models.
If it's a G4, follow these instructions:
- Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord.
- Wait 10 seconds.
- Plug in the power cord while simultaneously pressing and holding the power button on the back of the computer.
- Let go of the power button.
- Press the power button once more to start up your Mac mini.
If it's an Intel model, follow these:
-From the Apple menu, choose Shut Down (or if the computer is not responding, hold the power button until it turns off).
-Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord and any display cables.
-Wait at least 15 seconds.
-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.
-Press the power button on the back to start up your computer.
After you do whichever is the appropriate reset the system is still misbehaving, and noting that you've done what sounds like a full reinstall of MacOS, let us know if you did an erase and install or an archive and install, and also whether the fan runs at full speed all the time (very loud, from power-on) and whether you have had the system open at any point.

My Mac Mini was not sending a signal to the monitor. I powered down using the power button and now it will not start. When i power up I get a strange 2 tone sound, like a warning alarm. The fan starts, and the light comes on, but no screen.
I have tried with a wired USB keyboard and mouse using a single screen. Powered up with option pressed. No change.
Reset SMC no changeRun the Apple hardware test to see what it tells you. Run the extended test when prompted, which can take awhile.

Finally got round to buying an iPhone 4, really excellent to start with. The sharing of music from my Mac Mini was excellent. ios6 update has ruined all that! The artist view miss's out most of my music and the sharing sometimes doesn't work at all!
How do I get this feature working again? I am reluctant to move to iTunes 10.7 because I don't trust Apple at the moment.My suggestion:
1) Always using MAC AIR with the power plug in.
2)Don' let the power level of battory fall under 30% percentage.
3)If the MAC can't be recharged now, just let it be with power plugged, WAIT... -
What do I do if my Mac Mini was stolen?
My Mac Mini was stolen, and I was told Apple might be able to find out where it is? How do I go about doing this?
No, there is no way for Apple or anyone else to determine its location. You may be thinking about Find My Mac which is a feature available in Lion.

Hi,
My Mac Mini has been booting up super slow, and taking forever to shut down. It also hangs frequently. I have disconnected external hard drives from the computer, and that didn't help. I ran etrecheck, and the results are below. Anything obvious in there that will fix my problem? I also ran a Fix Permissions, and Fix Hard Drive, with no real issues found. Thanks for you help!

Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Mac Mini very slow at 4 gig memory, upgrade to 16 still slows down but takes a longer time
I bought a Mac mini a year ago. With an i7 and i terabyte and it cam with only 4 gig of ram. It worked fine for a while and i installed some apps then it started to get very slow. seeing the colorful "hourglass " turn round and round quite a few times. Then i went to the activity monitor where it told me that the memory used was about 3.89 gigs. I purchased a memory cleaner app from thr app store which helped a bit.
Today i upgraded to 16 gig memory and bang my computer ripped. The activity manager said i was using 6 gigs of ram and had 9.8 remaining.
after being on the internet for a couple of hours and using Firefox with about ten tabs open the computer started to get very slow again.
I checked the activity manager and it read 6 gigs used and the cash read a whopping 9 gigs. Did not think i would need the memory cleaner any more but after doing a clean it worked better.
Why did i get a whopping 9 gigs in the cash ? which is what it read after my computer slowed down again.You may want to post in the Mac Mini forum, this is the iMac forum. If you would like me to I will ask the moderator to move the thread.

Mac Mini has never run really fast…only 512 Mb of RAM, but it has always been ok for internet and iTunes and iPhoto.
Last week, I formatted my PC and temporarily stored some files on the Mac. I intentionally left 1.5Gb of hard disk free on the Mac.
It began running slow, so I turned it off, let it sit for 5 minutes, then turned it back on. It took 20 minutes to boot up! I have since restarted a few times, and it takes anywhere from 10-20 minutes each time. Once booted, it can’t recognize external drives (I am trying to back up my most recent files in case the drive is shot). All applications take forever to run...if at all.
I verified permissions last night, and it took all night to run the verification. This morning, it was done, and it said it fixed a lot of things. The computer is no better off. I did read that you need to keep 10-20% of the disk free due to automatic disk defragmentation that Mac does…so that could have been the initial problem. I have since moved all of the temporary files that I had on there to the trash…about 15 Gb worth. However, I can’t empty the trash. It gives me error -36.
I have thought about running disk utility from the boot disk, however, I am nervous to turn the machine off, because everytime I restart...it takes longer and longer to boot up.
So, I have read about resetting PRAM, etc. But my lack of knowledge on Mac's is rearing its head. I don't mind formatting the disk...it is about 5 years old, however, I do have about six months worth of photos on there that I don’t want to lose…OSX gets very unhappy when it does not have adequate free space on the hard drive. The OS makes extensive use of virtual memory, which creates temporary files on the hard drive as a substitute for more RAM memory.
Since your Mini has very little RAM memory, it depends on using a lot of virtual memory to operate satisfactorily. When you reduced the amount of free space on your hard drive, you made life very difficult for the OS by limiting the amount of virtual memory it could create. This is likely why it got very slow.
It would be helpful if you could empty the trash and gain some breathing room for the OS. I suspect the problem is an "ownership" problem: the files you brought over from the PC aren't "owned" by the user on your Mac who is trying to empty the trash. -
ITunes downloads fast on old Mac mini but slow on brand new Macbook Pro on the same WiFi network?
Hi all,
I have an old Mac mini that's from around 2008 and runs on Snow Leopard. I also have a brand new Macbook Pro with retina display that's running Mountain Lion. Both running iTunes 10.6.3.
I never noticed anything wrong with my MBP's connection speed until last night when I downloaded a free TV episode from iTunes. The download speed varied between 20KB/s and 40KB/s and it took me 7 to 8 hours to download a single episode. I checked my internet connection but there was nothing wrong with it, SpeedTest.net told me I had a download speed of 94MB/s and upload speed of 80MB/s, it was only iTunes that was unbearably slow.
Today I was browsing iTunes again and was planning to buy some movies, but again it took forever for the trailers to download. So I fired up my Mac mini just to see if it would be just as slow. Turned out my Mac mini could download the same trailers from iTunes at a much higher speed than my MBP (around 3MB/s on the ones I tested).
So what gives? They are on the same Wifi network provided by an Airport Extreme, and although my iPhone and iPad are also connected to it, no one else is doing any heavy duty downloading.
Thanks in advance!

Orange Livebox & iMac 24" & Mac mini network, slow transfer using appletalk
Hi everone
I have my 2 computers (imac 24" C2Duo and Mac mini) connecting wirelessly to my Orange Livebox wireless router to access the internet.
I want though to set up an local network to access filesharing over both of the computers. I found a tutorial and managed to turn on Appletalk and filesharing in system prefs.
The problem is that when i transfer files it takes ages to copy them over, i have full signal on both computers, and they connect really fast to the internet.
I used to have it set up on another wireless router (netgear) and it was much faster than that,
Has anyone got a similar problem? or possible solution?
many thanks in advance!looking through i was wondering if i bought a new aiport express base station and connected it to the livebox would it be better?
the mac mini is core duo so doesn't support n speed but my imac would would they both work? any advice would be appreciated! -
My Mac Mini takes forever to load programs now. After loading Mavericks it seems like I am back in PC World again!! My biggest concern is ALL of my iMovie projects seem to have vanished. I do not have sound on some web sites like YouTube. I lost the option to mirror from the Mac to the TV but I was able to solve that. Any suggestions on recovery of files? I do not use TimeMachine and did not back up anything before the Mavericks installation. I know...that's bad. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I've updated my Mac Mini to OSX Mavericks and since then my computer has been running slow. I've gone through other threads and followed recommendations and still the issue persists. I ran EtreCheck and got the following:

Does anyone have any feedback on if there is anything that can be done to improve performance?
Thanks in advanceYou are only running on 2GB of RAM. I would suggest 4GB as a minimum, and if possible, maxing out the Mini. LogMeIn and TeamViewer have been culprits for some users in Mavericks, also.

Mac Mini running slow after Mavericks
Hi All
I have a Mac Mini which I upgraded to Mavericks and now it intermittently runs extremely slow - almost at a standstill. I have tried a number of things, such as a complete OSX re-install; I've used MacKeeper to tidy up my junk; I have installed Time Machine Scheduler to stop constant back-ups; I have tested the machine when the Iomega Time Machine drive is unconnected and my 2TB external archive drive is unattached too; I have removed Flashplayer programmes, Silver light etc etc. But nothing is helping (I have not tried uninstalling Microsoft Office, yet!).
I is a busy working machine and I am now having to resort to using my Mac Air because things are so bad.
Weirdly, my wife's identical Mac Mini (with Mavericks) has none of these problems.
Here is my report from EtreCheck.... PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP AS I GOING CRAZY!!!
Thanks
Keith

That's your first two mistakes. Get rid of MacKeeper. It is of no benefit, and is arguably detrimental.
Secondly, Time Machine backups only backup what has changed in the last hour. They should not be "constant", but even if they are, the speed at which the backup is made is irrelevant.
Get rid of the Kromtech thing, whatever that is, too.
Two things to test:
1. Does it work in Safeboot Mode? If so, then it's likely some third-party software that you normally have running.
2. Does it work in a brand new user account? If so, then your problem is a corrupt preference or cache in your old user account, or some user-triggered process. Go back to the old account and start refining your hunt. Remove a bunch of preference files and test; empty user caches with a utility like Onyx; turn off Login Items, etc.
