Mac Mini Web Page Problems!

I have a mac mini that has been working great for several months. Today it started having trouble with loading web pages! It seems to have letters missing all over the page. I have tried different website and still have the same problem!
The website do come up but they are missing letters in the articles.
Any suggestions??

In my experiance, this would be due to a language error, either the some languages have uninstalled themselves (It has happened to me before) or that the language files have become corrupt... I repair and matinence macs and pcs so i have seen this before. The way to fix this would be to wither repair the language files, or reinstall. Who knows... Maybe a reinstall would be good for your system. How old is the mini?

  • Mac Mini with Major Problems

    I'll try to make this short, but it is a looonngg problem.
    About one month ago my Mac Mini began having problems when I boot up.  The computer would freeze on the opening page where I put in my password.  My wireless keyboard and trackpad would not work.  This would be interminent at first but progressively got worse.
    I spent hours on phone tech support.  Finally realizing that would not help I drove the 100 mile round trip to the local Apple store for a Genius bar appointment.
    The first appointment (there have been 5 - meaning 500 miles) resulted in them doing a clean install of Lion.  I took the computer back to the office and guess what, the same problem.
    I drove back to the Apple store, the Genius did some more work and proclaimed it fixed.  It was, for about 3 days when everything started again.
    More time now on tech support.  One more trip to the Apple store.
    This time they kept the Mac Mini for about 4 days are replaced the logic/mother board. 
    I got it back to the office on Thursday. Everthing works great.
    Until today.  I boot the computer, it gets to the screen that has the apple on it - then nothing.
    I manually power it down and reboot.  Same thing.
    I've set up ANOTHER appointment at the Genius bar tomorrow. 
    My question: can I demand that they replace this machine.  Between work and home I have 2 Mac Mini's, a Macbook Pro, a Macbook Air and 2 iPhones.  I've never had this type of problem.  I'm really tired of this.
    I purchased this in February so it is in warranty. 
    Thanks

    Excellent new, sorry you had so much trouble on the way. And yes, Apple Stores are awesome!

  • 2014 mac mini dual monitor problem

    I just brought a mac mini (Late 2014) i have two displays monitors connected, one HDMI to DVI. and one thunderbolt to DVI. I can have both thunderbolts connected and the problem its the same, when back from sleep ,one monitor doesn't turn on. i have to disconnect one and then both work, it only happens when the mac goes to sleep. on cold restart or turning the mac on, this problem doesn't occur. any help.

    I have this same problem too. I purchased the Mac Mini with the intention of running dual monitors. I'm using the HDMI and mini-display/Thunderbolt to DVI. I've also tried MiniDisplay/Thunderbolt to HDMI and I'm experiencing the same problem as angelfromfullerton. Whenever it tries to wake from sleep, it can't decide on monitor arrangement and keeps flicking between the two, making the OS unusable and forcing a reboot... EVERY TIME. I've also experienced the issue once or twice on a cold boot. It doesn't matter which Thunderbolt port is used either.
    I'm going to have to return my Mac Mini unless this problem is fixed asap.

  • Mac Mini Printer Compatiblity Problems in Firefox and Safari

    Can anyone recommend a printer brand that will allow me to print the content from Safari or Firefox? What a pain in the butt this is. I can't get either to print selected content off the Web, unless I save it as another document, and print it from that software. Both will show the full content in print preview, then spit out REAMS of blank paper, maybe with one sentence from the outside areas of the web page on it. I have been less than happy about how the printer options panel is set up, too. I have an older HP2100, and it has never worked well with my Mac Mini anyway, even after updating the driver, etc.

    Although I have no great love for HP printers I'm not sure that's the problem. Printing directly from a browser is usually a crap-shoot regardless of the printer. There's a lot of stuff "behind the scenes" that you can't see but the computer does. I've gotten to the point that I rarely print from either of my browsers - Safari & FireFox - I'd much rather clean it up first rather than take a chance [likelihood] of wasting time & paper as well as ink.

  • Mac Mini VGA monitor problem: monitor powers off after 15s

    Hi
    Trying to hook up a Mac Mini to an ancient VGA monitor (Logix). Bought a Mini Display Port to VGA Adapter. On power up the apple logo displays on the monitor, but then the monitor screen goes black and the power light on the monitor flashes.
    Is this the Pin 9 problem referred to here?
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VGA_connector
    The monitor only has a VGA input. If the solution is to go buy a new monitor that is fine, but seek advice on which type (budget is an issue)
    thanks

    Update: I have determined that this is due to a bad connector on the internal fan. One of the wires in the connector popped out, and when I put it back in, the first time it went in backwards, so when I tried to attach the fan cable, it crimped the end of the wire connector. That means that it doesn't securely fasten to the internal board. I can situate it to the point where it touches for awhile, and during this time, the Mac Mini does boot up with a solid power light, and stays on. However, eventually the wire goes loose, shutting down the fan, which in turn shuts down the Mac Mini.
    Things I've tried:
    - I've searched for a fan replacement on the web, but it cannot be found for purchase (not even on eBay).
    - I went to Frys Electronics, but they don't have the fan nor that connector.
    - I went to the genius bar at the local Apple store, and was informed that Apple nor Apple Authorized businesses are "allowed" to sell me the part. They did confirm that the fan not properly connected would cause the symptoms I'm experiencing.
    I guess at this point, I need to do one of the following:
    1. Find an unauthorized Apple repair business would be willing to sell me this part.
    2. Figure out how to fix the connector on the wire so that it securely attaches to the prong.
    3. Pay Apple over $100 to fix what is basically a $5 repair (this option is largely undesireable).
    4. Find someone who is throwing out a broken Mac Mini where I can scavenge for the fan.
    Any other suggestions, or any help in accomplishing my goal would still be greatly appreciated.

  • 10.6.8 Wifi Mac Mini Core Solo Problems

    Hi All,
    I have had my beloved Mac Mini core solo (1.5ghz) since 2007 and have had regular upgrades to keep it alive (upgraded hard drive, ram etc.).
    A couple of days ago I upgraded the airport card - it previously was only 802.11 a/b/g, but I now have the atheros 9280 802.11 a/b/g/n successfully installed into the machine.
    The main reason for doing this is that my previous airport card just never seemed to work at all; I have an iphone and ipad and they both successfully connect to my Orange livebox router with no problems whatsoever, yet my Mac Mini did not connect at all having tried everything I can. Therefore my final solution was to arrange an update of the airport card to the new atheros one suggested by my local Apple dealer.
    I brought the Mac home, and tried to attahc to my wifi router to immediate success. It had full signal strength and was working flawlessly. I then turned the machine off, went out for a while and then came home to find it was not working again and kept searching for the wifi router and asking for constant passwords. After a long time, it seemed to work again but after I turned the machine off it lost the settings (depsite me asking network settings to save via the locked button) and I am constantly repeating this process.
    I am therefore wondering if anyone can help. The atheros 9280 airport card information is as follows (from the system profiler):
    Software Versions:
    Menu Extra: 6.2.2 (622.2)
    configd plugin: 6.2.5 (625.6)
    System profiler: 6.0.1 (601.1)
    Network preference: 6.2.2 (622.2)
    Aiport Utility: 5.5.3 (553.20)
    IO80211 Family: 4.0 (400.40)
    Card Type: Airport Extreme (0x168C, 0x8F)
    Firmware version: Atheros 9280: 2.1.14.6
    Locale: FCC
    Country Code: DE
    Supported PHY Modes: 802.11 a/b/g/n
    Supported Channels: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,36,40,44,48,52,56,60,64,100,104,108,112,116,120,1 24,128,132,136,140
    Wake on Wireless: Supported
    Status: Network Service Inactive
    Just to also add that its Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Intel Mac Mini core 1.5ghz solo, and my Orange Wifi router is quite old (around 2006) so supports a/b/g - I was thinking that this may be the fault but why would all my other apple systems have no problems with this connection?
    Any help would be really appreciated as I'm going a little nuts here!

    Really? I thought Sno was supposed to be more efficient?
    I'd say that SL is more efficient on a machine it was made to run on. Apple didn't exclude the single core Intel processor, probably because they didn't have to change their code like they would have for a PPC processor but part of the efficiency is it's ability to split services to the separate cores in the CPU. You only have one, so that part of the improvement is of no use. All of the processes the OS handles and splits to multiple CPU cores are worthless and your programs will just have to wait until the CPU has time for you.
    Meanwhile, the programs you are running are more powerful and provide higher quality and really need the extra core. The speed of the ram, the buss, and the hard drive are not as fast as your MacBook either. All of this data has to be moved around quite a bit from the drive to ram and then back to the drive.
    Christmas is coming
    WinXP will run on a 600Mhz PII processor with 128MB's of PC100 ram, but you wouldn't want to. It's not a lot of fun to work with or work on.
    Unless there is some whiz bang program or technology that you need from SL, I'd take the machine back to Leopard or even Tiger, which it probably ran pretty well.

  • Mac Mini DVI Monitor Problems

    Hi all,
    I'm running OSX10.8.5 on a Mac Mini 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 with 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 memory and Intel HD 4000 512MB graphics.
    I've just upgraded my monitor from a VGA 17" to an AOC E2462VWH 24" monitor, plugged into my computer via DVI with a Thunderbolt adaptor.
    In a normal boot-up, the monitor displays video for a split second and then cuts to black. The picture works fine in Safe Boot mode but video is jerky, everything loads slower, I can't play .mov files (Quicktime tells me unknown error -101) and there is an annoying flicker every 10 seconds. The fact the monitor works fine in Safe Boot suggests to me the problem is software. Resolution is set to 1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz and OSX is not letting me change that via Settings.
    I went searching for drivers only to lean it sounds like OSX deals with monitors in a plug-n-play format. Is this true?
    Firstly, can I confirm my mini has the power to drive this monitor?
    Besides that, can you please help me figure out how to boot this computer so the monitor displays in normal boot-up mode?
    Thanks for your help!

    Then it sounds like yo need one of these:

  • Mac Mini HDMI Output Problem w/ LG L246WP

    NOTE: This appears to be unrelated to the "screen flickering" that has been noted previously.
    I'm using a fresh new Mac Mini 2012 with an LG L246WP LCD monitor. The monitor has HDMI, VGA and Component video inputs.
    When I attach the monitor to the Mini DisplayPort output, using a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI cable, the display functions properly at all resolutions - including the native 1920 x 1200 resolution that I use it at normally. All resolutions are clearly displayed in the "Displays" System Preferences pane. The display looks perfect, functions properly.
    When I attach the monitor to the HDMI port using an HDMI cable, the display does not fucntion properly. The display is shifted about 80-100 pixels to the left and about 20 pixels up, creating black bars on the bottom and right sides. Because of this, a large portion of the display is not visible including the menu bar and most of the left side. Additionally, the settings are reduced to "Best for Display" or "Scaled", with resolution options under "Scaled".
    This is not acceptable. I had planned on simply using the Mini DisplayPort output as a workaround, since I already have the DVI adapter from an old setup, but I need to use Thunderbolt to access external hard drives for rapid data transfer. One of my Thunderbolt accessories does not have two ports, so I can't simply add the Mini DisplayPort adapter to a chain. The HDMI port needs to function properly with my monitor.
    It's important to note that this monitor has functioned properly with many other comptuers running OS X, Windows and various Linux flavors and it hasn't ever done this before. I've tried several different HDMI cables, ruling that out as a problem. I've tried the HDMI to DVI adapter that ships with the Mac Mini 2012 along with two different DVI to HDMI adapters, ruling that out as a problem. I tried attaching several HDMI devices (game consoles, DVD players, etc) and they all function properly, ruling out an HDMI issue as a problem. The monitor functions properly when attached through the Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter, so it's not a problem with the monitor. I've reset the PRAM already and the installation of OS X 10.8.1 is stock with no modifications or migrated data. I've tried the suggestions on the HDMI FAQ (although there's no "underscan" option available in Displays)
    I tried to call AppleCare and after describing the problem I got disconnected with no callback. I started another ticket, described the problem, discussed the previous disconnection, was assured that I'd be called back if disconnected, and haven't heard back in two hours. So I started to dig into the problem in earnest.
    This gets pretty technical.
    After substantial research, it appears that this issue is related to the EDID that the monitor sends to the computer and, crucially, the way that the driver responds to it. For some reason, the HDMI port is recognizing the monitor as a CEA device instead of a monitor. As a result, it's restricting the monitor's available resolution to the native resolution  that the CEA 681 Series Extension describes ("Best for Display") and all other resolutions (including 1920 x 1200) are only available as "scaled". For some reason that I can't discern, all resolutions (even the 1080i and 1080p options) have similar deformities.
    I've attempted to fix this by placing an appropriate override file in /System/Library/Displays/Overrides with an edied EDID removing the CEA-enable flag from byte 127 but, even after a reboot, the OS still insists that it's a CEA device and it won't allow me to force it to recognize the monitor as a 1920 x 1200 LCD Monitor.
    How did I come to this conclusion and develop the fix? A nearly identical problem description showed up on the following website, with details on how this user fixed the issue:
    http://byuu.org/articles/computing/edid
    They used a convoluted process that involved dismantling the monitor and flashing the EDID on the monitor itself. It fixed their problem. I'd prefer not to go through that process just because one computer has a problem with it. Frankly, I'd prefer if the new Mac Mini performed properly in the first place.
    TL;DR: The Mac Mini 2012 doesn't work right with the LG L246WP through the HDMI output. Everything else works fine with it. This is very uncool. It's most likely to be an issue with the driver for the Intel HD Graphics 4000 GPU that are bundled with OS X 10.8.1. The Mac Mini 2012 won't update to 10.8.2 (yet), so I can't test it.
    Anyone have any other ideas? Anyone else using a Mac Mini 2012 (or 2011) with an LG L246WP monitor? Anything simple I've missed?

    Problem Resolved. But it was complicated. And a huge pain in the rear.
    TL;DR: I flashed the EDID as described here. This is not recommended for the weary. Ideally, Apple should release an update OS X that will include the updated Intel HD Graphics 4000 drivers that utilize the CEA flag properly.
    Here's the detailed version. As mentioned above, this isn't recommended for the weary. An improper (or interrupted) EDID flash can have seriously unpredictable effects on a monitor's performance.
    Step 1: Get a Windows PC set up with a floppy drive and find a floppy disk. Use this system to format the floppy as a MS-DOS Boot Disk and copy over the "ddcw" program described at the aformentioned link.
    This took awhile, but I was able to cobble together a temporary frankensystem with parts I had laying around. In installed XP and formatted the disk with XP's format tool.
    Step 2: Grab EDID data from the monitor, modify it to disable CEA mode at bit 127 and make sure bit 128, the checksum, is appropriate.
    This also took awhile. Several graphics cards I tried could not read or write EDID data. I ended up swapping AGP cards in my frankenstein box until I found one that worked - a generic GeForce4 4200.
    Once the EDID data was written to the floppy, I edited the text file containing the EDID data to change the last two hex octets from "01 33" to "00 34" (00, to disable bit 127, and 34 is 33 + 1, which satisfies the checksum) and formatted the text file to match the sample included in the EDID_Write.zip file. Your mileage may vary - make sure the checks.
    Step 3: Write EDID data to the monitor.
    The link above mentioned three options: Easy (monitor's EDID is unprotected - write away!), Hard (monitor's EDID is protected - use service mode to attempt a fix), and Very Hard (monitor's EDID is protected, hardware modification is required).
    Luckily my LG246WP simply needed to be put into service mode as described at the link above (menu + power) and once started up in service mode, I simply enabled "Aging Mode" (whatever that means) and attempted a DDCW write of the updated data.
    Step 4: Profit!
    After doing this, I powered off the monitor and powered it back on with the Mac Mini attached. The display functions PERFECTLY with HDMI out, just as it does using the Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter.

  • Mac Mini Mid 2011 problem getting 2560 resolution

    I've been told that Mac Mini 2011 would support 2560 resolution however I cant get it to work.
    Here is background story.. i used to run this MacMini on a cheap 26" acer using apple Minidisplay adapter to dvi input to Acer.
    I ended up buying two 4K Samsung U28D590D in hopes this would be a plug an play affair as Samsung comes with display port and i can simply run a display port to mini display cable. This ended up being true for my wife's macbook Pro (about 6 months old) connected it and runs 2560 no problem, picture is perfect!
    Using the same concept and cable on MacMini does not work at all, monitor does not display any picture. If i use HDMI to HDMI ill get 1920.
    I also have an additional monitor "Shimian" that is a DVI-D monitor supporting 2560 which i ran on a PC using Geforce GT 610 and ran 2560 no problem. When using Minidisplay adapter to dvi same problem, it does not work at all. (unless apple sells different adapter minidisplay to DVI or DVI-D?)
    i'm trying to figure out if this is a hardware problem on Macmini that does not allow this resolution to be supported?

  • HDMI On Mac Mini Late 2012: Problem with hardware?

    Just converted from PC to Mac.
    Purchased latest mac mini (Late 2012 version)
    Have tried several monitors through HDMI port and each time the picture quality is poor with very bad text resolution.
    Have tried HDMI to HDMI  and also tried HDMI to DVI adaptor.
    This is with full 1080p 27 inch samsung monitor and HP 2010i monitor.
    Is there a problem with the HDMI port on this new mac mini?
    The monitors I have are fine and are crystal sharp when connected to PC.
    Many thanks if you can answer this

    OK. So I have now tried LG 27 Inch E2742 Monitor as follows:
    1) Mini display to DVI-D : Picture good with decent text resolution
    2) HDMI-HDMI: Picture poor with poor colour and text resolution. This is not a calibration issue.
    The samsung monitor 27 inch series 3 also has poor picture and colour and text resolution with HDMI-HDMI. Again this is not a calibration issue. It does not have a DVI-D input to test the minidisplay port.
    So it seems the HDMI port is not working properly but the minidisplay one is ok as I suspected.
    From reading the other threads it seems this is a common problem including those people that have taken their minis back for an exchange and experienced same problem.
    Is there likely to be a software update to resolve this?

  • External hard drive connected to mac Mini is having problems and won't repair

    Hi,
    Thanks in advance for any support.
    My Mac mini (OS 10.7.5) isn't reading the external drive correctly and sometimes doesn't find it at all. When it does find the drive, some folders which I know to be large show up as empty (not always the same folder, I think).  I'm quite sure the drive is having problems and want to repair it, just so it can be stable enough to duplicate (i.e. copy the external).
    But it won't repair in Disk Utility because it can't unmount. I tried turning off Spotlight via Terminal, but it still won't unmount. Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Hi Linc,
    Thanks for the reply.
    Do you mean installing it in another enclosure? How easy or difficult is it to move the drive -- and should this be done by a professional?
    Thanks

  • Mac Mini & Analog Display Problem

    We just received our Mac Mini computer. We pplan to use an existing VGA monitor (Samsung SyncMaster 730B). We plugged the monitor cable into the Apple VGA to Thunderbolt adapter. First time we powered the MiniMac we saw the Apple logo immediately at power up. The display reads "Check Signal Cable" after the computer completes its power up signal. How do we get a working display to complete the Mac Mini set up steps?

    John,
    A further update to our monitor problem:
    After posting my last message I noted that when the display/computer goes into screen saver or sleep mode, the screen was blank with the "Check Cable" message scrolling across the screen. Unplugging the Thuderbolt connector at the computer and plugging it in again was the only way to restor the images from the computer.
    This morning I replaced the original cable (and VGA connectors) with a cable that was twice the diameter of the original cable. The monitor has worked flawlessly since then at re-start from the sleep state. I conclude that either the replacement cable, connectors or both do a better job conveying the signals between the computer and monitor. It could be that there is some high speed signal the monitor looks for to initiate re-start that is distorted by the original cable.  
    With either cable the images and text are crisp with no distortion. I see no need to upgrade to a DVI cable and connection between this monitor and the Mac Mini now that the monitor re-start function is working.
    -Mike

  • New Intel Mac Mini Start-up Problems

    I've recently purchased a new Intel Mac Mini (my first Mac after switching from a PC). Several times (probably once a day), the mac mini won't start-up.
    I've noticed it happens after I've used iPhoto or iDVD. The mini becomes busy and performance seems to slow. After the software has finished its task, I can exit the application fine and shut down the mini.
    When I then go to boot the mini, the little blue light comes up, but nothing else happens. It's almost as though it's in sleep mode (which it isn't). I've tried different ways to wake it using the keyboard, mouse and start button, but nothing.
    The Mac Mini will only start-up again if it is unplugged from the mains and left for several minutes.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Is there something I'm doing wrong that my lack of Mac knowledge may not be aware of?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I have been frustrated by the same issue. My (admittedly non-professional) diagnosis is that the problem is related to heat build up. I am able to boot normally only after forcing a hard shut down and waiting for "a while" (5 minutes is not enough, 30 minutes does the trick). Thus my hypothesis that an appropriate cooling down period is needed.
    Any similar thoughts? I'm calling Apple today...

  • Mac mini audio output problems

    This is similar to a problem that appeared before, but with a different twist.
    On 4 July all was well. On 5 July I switched on and there was no "chord" from the Mac. When I collected my mail - no sound from my speakers (which are part of my screen). Logged on to a couple of sites - no sound.
    The System Profiler, under the "Audio (Built In)" category, says: "No Built-in Audio." I know that's wrong because it's always worked before and when I plug my headset in it works fine.
    When I go to the Sound preferences panel in System Preferences, it finds the headset but if I unplug that it finds nothing.
    I tried running the hardware test (by putting in the OS X install disc and holding D during startup.) It couldn't find a problem.
    So, as far as I can see, audio output is fine for the USB headset output but not for the others. Is there a simple fix? The nearest Apple store is about 200 miles away and I don't fancy the idea of posting the Mac off.
    (And I think it's still under warranty for a couple more weeks.)
    Mac mini   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    hello mini users with the "no audio output" problem
    it seems that there are faulty output jacks in the macbook and the mac mini
    there are two things you can try:
    i tried everything and began thinking about what new software i had installed. it was "macam" which enables you to use older webcams on OSX. i needed that to use my webcam on skype.
    macam installs a file called "macam.component"
    if you have the same, do this - take that file out of:
    (your hard drive)/library/quicktime - macam.component
    and just put it on your desktop
    restart, then in your sound pref's choose your audio output (if doesn't work restart again)
    the first time i took it out, i had my sound back instantly, another time i had to choose audio output in sound prefs. you kind of have to try different things. after you get your sound back, you can put back "macam.component" to use your webcam.
    it seems macam causes the problem, the two can not work at the same time.
    the second thing: if you dont have "maccam" try plugging and unplugging output jack a few times and restarting until you have sound.
    the problem still could be with the OSX 10.4.10 update / quicktime...or maybe even a hardware problem like others with macbooks were saying (with the red light), not sure.
    people with macbooks and who have the red light on, say to use a paperclip to turn off the switch inside.
    my mini does not have a red light on. i tried using a paperclip but it doesnt work.
    hope this helps, beleive me i feel your pain!!!!
    what good is a computer without sound?
    extremely annoying problem that i hope apple looks into and fixes
