MacMini Duo Lockups

I just bought a new Intel Duo 1.6GHz Core Mac Mini with 120G hard drive and 2GB Dram all installed by the Apple Factory so there is no weird memory, etc. I also connected a 250GB LaCie drive underneath and bought a Apple monitor 23" Cinema. So this conversation is legally Mac, I think.
The system is locking up at many unexpected times. Going to set the Screen display locked up the computer, and going to different areas, like the Apple Drive Utility for reformating USB memory locks it up.
I am aware and understand you can't sleep a Mac with USB devices connected and you have to remove them save the keyboard and mouse to avoid the dead sleep but can somebody tell me if I should keep this machine or if I should abandon ship. I have 2 G4 Towers that are the noisiest critters in the world but they never lock up as I'm cruising the AppleSoftware.
On this Mac Mini I have MS Office Suite (Apple Version) and iLife and really nothing more.
Any ideas on stability and warranty. I did buy the extended warranty for the system but living with about 3 reboots a week due to lock ups is really not fun.
Apple Challenged.

I have the same problem and its realy anoying me!
I tried almost anything (except that I was'nt aware that I should remove USB-devices and I have a USB wireless MS-mouse. I'll try it tonight, but I don't think it wil help.
I also haven't tried reseting the PMU, because I'm in the middle of a job and will test it as soon as i'm done)
This is what I have tested:
Reset NVRAM
deleted prefs in library
rebuild permissions
upgrade firmware
upgrade Airport firmware
upgrade to all the lastest software from apple (thurs. 18)
disabed Airport
disabled all sleepers in pref-pane (except screensaver)
deleted startup-items and widgets
remove Version-cue
tested to see if it was a temprature-fault (looked OK.)
Nothing works. I really feel that all I have left to do is test the PMU and if that doesn't work I'll return the machine to Apple...

  • Things we all want in the MacMini!!!

    Howdy everyone,
    I am very excited about the new MacIntel Mini! Some great enhancements Apple made was the addition of two extra USB 2.0 ports! Yea! They also added Front Row and the Apple IR Remote too! However, when they did this, lets go all the way in terms of a media center. I posted some things I think they should add to the MacMini either in a small revision or the next big upgrade. Or it could be the third option, basically three options for the MacMini, with these additions. If you have anything to add to this list, post away!
    Here is my wishlist for MacMini:
    1.) Add some coaxial cables for:
    - TV
    - VCR
    - Cable/Dish TV input
    2.) Add support for the additions, (above), in Front Row. Try to work out a deal with the Cable/Dish company so that the MacMini acts as a descrambler box. The channel can be displayed on the TV screen, as well as the time.
    3.) Add one extra FireWire 400 port the the MacMini. The reasoning will be explained in addition 7, see below.
    4.) In addition to the VGA adapter, Apple should also include an ADC port on the MacMini or the adapter so that it can work with Apple monitors. It is a little weird that an Apple computer would not add support for their own monitors.
    5.) More Harddrive options, lets go for a harddrive that has 160 GB of storage with 16 MB Cache, and is 7200 RPM. I am not saying this should be standard, just an option for people who want extra power. The real size I would like is 500 GB HD.
    6.) Once you have the connections and the harddrive, add DVR support to the MacMini. The only reason I included VCR to the list is so people can still watch and record VHS tapes as they please.
    7.) Additions 6, 5, and 3 are related. If it is not technically possible at this time to fit a larger HD onto the MacMini, it would make number 6 less effective. Therefore, you can add an external FireWire HD for the DVR functions. The second FireWire port can be used for an iSight, or anything else the user needs/wants. I wouldn't recommend USB 2.0 HD's because I my experiences has taught me that FireWire has been much more consistant in data transfer rates.
    8.) Add a FireWire 800 port to the MacMini. This would be used for networking, and special operations.
    9.) Re-Add the 56K modem. This computer targets the PC market, and people who buy PC's don't normally have the money for a Mac. Therefore, quite a few people probable use 56K modems. In my case, I would use it for faxing purposes.
    10.) There is no number ten!
    Hence concludes the features I would like in the MacMini, lets move onto pricing.
    $400 MacMini Solo Core
    $500 MacMini Duo Core
    $650 MacMini Duo Core + Extra Features
    The picing would take advantage of the Low and high ends of the PC market, and with the $650 MacMini, that would compete with the way over priced and underperforming PC Media center computers, that go for thousands of dollars.

    • Coax is not dead, quite a few people still use Coax
    and have Coax installed in their homes. The question
    for me was not of the efficiency of the Coax, more of
    the current services the Coax provides + the fact a
    lot of homes have it.
    I agree there is a huge coax deployment. My dead was based mostly on looking ahead - I just don't see anyone building with it anymore - you may cerainly have a better handle on it than I and perhaps it will continue to be installed for decades (I'm sure the existing stuff will serve well for decades and only get upgraded when the devices have moved on.)
    I do have to ask - how would you use coax on a mini?
    • So what happens to all the ADC monitors out there
    and the people who own them? Since the MacMini is
    suppose to be priced competitively, why would it
    leave out all the ADC monitors, spending an extra 80
    bucks hurts the price competitiveness.
    I would imagine that ADC support would costs a whole lot more than $80 to shrink it to fit inside a mini (not that there is any extra room - have you actually opened a mini up? It's a marvel of dense assembly)
    Even if there were a compelling economic interest to support ADC (i.e. there were still ADC monitors being designed, produced and sold today) - I seriously doubt the engineering could fit in the size constraints the mini was designed for (fitting under the monoitor - sitting next to a DVD player, etc...)

  • Core Duo random restarts after ram install

    Hi,
    I am aware of kernel panics caused by bad ram, but not random restarts. Well, here is the list of problems since installing 2GB ram:
    1) 1 kernel panic about 10 minutes after installing said ram
    2) 3 random restarts about 24hrs apart while working.
    Is this indicative of bad ram, or do I have a different problem?
    Other than that, I love this mini.
    Thanks,
    Berndt

    Hi Berndt,
    Just wondering if that Mushkin brand memory is still working fine in your Intel MacMini Duo. I've checked out Mushkin's website and they do not list the Intel Mini as a compatable machine but every other Intel Mac is listed. Maybe they just missed it, I don't know. That's why I'm curious as to whether you're having continued success or not.
    Thx.
    Steve

  • New Mini - DVI to component video?

    I'm thinking of purchasing a new Intel Mini but want to connect it to my TV. My current Intel/Beyond TV box uses S-Video and is less than optimal.
    My TV is:
    Sony VEGA KV-32XBR450
    HD/DVD In ports - 1080i/480p/480i - Y,Pb,Pr component video jacks

    Here is a product that I found online. I have no idea if it will work for you and have nothing to do with the company. I have the same need as you and wish to have HDTV video out. My Sony Wega KV-40XBR800 needs to have the scan rate and resolution set correctly or it will damage the CRT via DVI or Component. This converter doesn't do 1080i but it does give you 1152x864 and sets the scan rates accordingly (I assume). It's kind of a hack as far as I'm concerned and I'll wait until someone (Hopefully Apple) supplies us with a proper HDTV Component solution.
    Of course we could just buy new HDTVs that have DVI-I and HDMI like the Sharp Aquos LC-45GD7U. Being that it's an LCD I believe the Aquos should work with DVI, HDMI, or Component (Via the online Manual) as stated on apples MacMini Duo Accessories page (http://www.apple.com/macmini/accessories.html) but I'm not for sure because I don't have one to test. Of course buying another HDTV is redundant and expensive to say the least.
    Best of luck,
    Ross

  • NS* errors, fork/bash errors, crashing, etc.

    I've got a macmini duo core (purchased a few weeks ago); I've just gotten it set up and I'm experiencing some significant problems:
    1) System Preferences will crash and die whenever I go to change my desktop
    2) terminal sessions refuse to work, i.e. I get the error "fork unavailable" for simple operations like 'ls' (cd seems to work)
    3) internet connect will die for no reason
    I wanted to know if this is a possible hardware/software bug, or if I need to file a lemon claim against apple?

    no, just because your machine is having problems, doesn't mean it is a lemon. have you tried booting to the install disk and running disk repair?? http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214. also, do you have any added ram?? have you created a test user to see if your problems are user related?? to do this, you simply click the plus sign in system preferences > accounts.

  • Should I install Yosemity on an MacMini 2.53Mhz Duo ?

    Hi … should I install Yosemity on an MacMini 2.53Mhz Duo ? Late 2009 model.
    The mini is currently whizzing away with Mountain Lion. 
    Other stats 4 gig memory (I know I could vamp up to 8), 500 HD hard drive
    Am really happy with Mountain (was previously running 10.6 on an older mini, and Leopard was solid despite now showing age)
    How would Yosemity run on my machine ?
    The mini surprisingly run Diablo 3 on max settings with ease (was really surprised)
    What worries my was testing the entry mac air with Yosemity …. it does not seem super fast ….
    Anyone have experience with low end mac and Yosemity ?

    Yosemite is smaller than Mavericks which was smaller than Mountain Lion. The minimum requirements for all 3 are the same. Mavericks and Yosemite operate under low Ram conditions better than Mountain Lion or Lion did.
    I would be surprised if it wasn't faster.
    Same spec as your Mini, with a faster drive and more Ram.

  • Imac, 2006, 2 GHZ intel, core 2 duo, 10.7.5   lockup

    I am at wits end......for last year had in to computer repair several times...he put in new hard disk even and still locks up on use.....i totally erased everything and started over with clean install and it still does so I guess not a software problem.....sometimes I can run in safe boot but that does not allow me to do the work I need to do......Is there anyone out there that can help me?   I cannot define the certain time that it freezes but seem to be when I ask it to do something?

    Click your Apple menu  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
    Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
    Checked the startup disk lately?
    Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
    Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Click:  Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions)
    If the disk needs repairing, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you can access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk.
    FYI:   OS X Recovery requires a high speed broadband connection.
    Backup all your important files before repairing or restoring OS X just in case.

  • Slow MacMini after upgrading to Maverick and later Yosemite.

    Gents,
    I have had nothing than trouble with my MacMini (late 2009) since i installed Maverick and I hoped some things would improve with Yosemite. That did not happen. I have been through all possible "solutions" but no luck. I hope someone can help me. My MacMini was working like a charm until I installed Maverick.
    (PS: My back-up drive is not connected as shown below)

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    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 and start typing the name.
    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.

  • How to boot new/used MacMini from external drive?

    Last week I purchased a used MacMini (2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3) that had OS X 10.5.6 pre-installed. I was starting up from my OSX 10.5 install disk so that I could change the password, but the disk drive got noisy and repeatedly restarted until I ejected the disk.
    Starting up from my desktop LG super multi drive (HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GE20LU11) results in the same loop, even though the LG was selected as the startup disk.
    How do I get the computer to give up on the broken internal drive and use the LG?

    Then your DVD may be dirty or defective or boots a version of OS X that isn't compatible with the Mini model you have. For example, if it was initially released with 10.5.6 and you have a 10.5 DVD, then it will not start that computer. Your DVD also may not work if it is not a retail copy of Leopard, but an OEM disc that only has a PPC version of OS X.

  • Problems with ARD and headless MacMini (new 1,66 DualCore)

    Hi,
    i would like to set my brandnew MacMini 1,66 as webserver.
    And there the problem starts: when the MacMini runs headless (without monitor attached) it thinks that there is a television attached and i get a very distorted screen when connecting via ARD 2.2. Attaching the DVI-VGA adapter does not help!
    How can i tell the Mini to switch to a "normal" resolution without attaching a monitor?
    I seems not to be very useful to connect a monitor to a computer that is supposed to run headless...
    HELP!!!
    1.66GHz Intel Core Duo processor   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   ARD 2.2

    I have the exact same problem with two PowerMac G5's. I need to have full resolution on the remote G5 which has no monitor connected, but only get to choose between PAL and NTSC TV resolution. This is really annoying, and in my opinion a major bug in ARD 3.1 and below. Why is the user forced to see such a small remote window if the remote computer is capable of much more?

  • Need help identifying problem (lockup/freezing in Warcraft III & CS)

    my macbook pro:
    Model Name: MacBook Pro 15"
    Model Identifier: MacBookPro1,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core Duo
    Processor Speed: 2 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 2
    L2 Cache (per processor): 2 MB
    Memory: 1 GB
    Bus Speed: 667 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: MBP11.0055.B08
    SMC Version: 1.2f10
    Serial Number: W862318KVWY
    Sudden Motion Sensor:
    State: Enabled
    It freezes and has black screens during games in which apple Q and force quit doesn't work. I would need to restart the comp. when it freezes the sound would stutter, repeating whatever the game had playing.
    things I tried but the macbook pro still froze:
    running the game off USB storage device(so i think HD is fine)
    wiping HD and reinstalling OS, updating everything and playing it on both USB and the installation of game (not 3rd party apps)
    opening the macbook pro and cleaning out the dust (didn't take anything out, just blew dust off)
    resetting RAM with apple options P R
    took RAM out and put it back in
    ran apple hardware test (everything was okay)
    running a different game (Counter-Strike on CrossOver and still froze)
    Disk Warrior 4 (only minor repairs and it froze in the test game after i ran DW4)
    booting system from an external and running the game from USB
    things to note:
    although sometimes when it freezes, the temperatures are really high - even with fan control (70-80C) but, i've reproduced the lock up with the temperatures at 60C, so i don't think its a heat problem (thermal paste and whatnot)
    sometimes in safari, quicktime, itunes, or just on desktop picture i would see a single, horizontal, 1 pixel-height distorted line running across the screen, which i can take screenshots of. no idea what's causing it but it could have some relation with the freezing/lockups
    some days it will run without problems for the entire day, just to see lockups the very next day. I think it could be random.
    help please..

  • New MacMini and small touchscreen compatibility...

    Greetings,
    I'm trying to find either the correct (updated?) driver for a Lilliput 889GL-80NP/C/T touchscreen monitor (to be used with a new MacMini (2.0 GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 / 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 SDRAM running OS 10.7.3)...
    ...or a comparable small touchscreen monitor that will work with this new MacMini.  I'm looking at the Lilliput 869GL-80NP/C, but have so far been unable to determine if the touchscreen capabilities are functional with this computer.  Any ideas?  Anyone using a small touchscreen monitor with a newer MacMini?
    The Lilliput 889GL-80NP/C/T works fine with my older MacMini (1.66 GHz Intel Core Duo / 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM running OS 10.4.11), but with the same driver, I can't seem to get it to work properly with the new one (x/y axis weirdness) and the "TouchKit" app I use with the older MacMini doesn't seem to function with the new Mini either.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks,

    PS~ I've read all the existing posts related to this topic (dating back further than would ever be currently helpful -- some new info on this would be great (if there is any?)

    Thanks Viking,
    Yes, I've actually been in contact with Lilliput (UK) and hope to hear back from them soon -- I was just wondering if anyone else had similar issues, and had found a solution.  Traditionally, Lilliput has provided products (and support) intended primarily for Windows based systems... however, I've been using their touchscreen monitors with my MacMini for years, and as I understand it, their Mac compatibility is increasing... that said, I wonder how easy (or difficult) Apple will make it for other vendors' touchscreens to play nice with their stuff.  I can almost hear the, "I'm sorry, you'll need to buy an iPad" mantras being practiced at Apple.  Anyhow, we shall see...

  • Display drivers for MacMini OS 10.4.8

    Hi,
    I just bought my first mac (mac mini) and I bought a Dell Ultrasharp 1907FP flat panel monitor. The VGA connector works fine and the screen is fine. However, the DVI cable gives either a black screen or a "hashed up" image (unusable). Looks like some kind of sync issue...
    The Dell folks said Apple has drivers but I can't find them. Can you point me in the right direction, or let me know what the problem might be?
    Thanks.
    Bob

    More information...
    I'm certain the problem is with the MacMini. I hooked up a different monitor using the DVI cable and it also shows a "shredded" display. (8 year old ViewSonic VPD150 using a DVI to MDR20 convertor.)
    Thanks.

  • Ichat not supported on my macmini intel?

    hi all..i tried to get ichat working on my macmini intel core duo 1.66....it starts and takes quite a while to login ( it eventually does after 2-3 minutes waiting for login), but under video/audio settings it says: your computer doesn't support video/audio ...i'm using external isight...anybody with any ideas? any other service using isight works fine ( i.e. yahoo,sightspeed )
    thanks

    I am using iChat with my macmini intel core duo 2.0 and it works great. I unfortunately couldn't find a iSight camera (that I could afford) so ended up using a cheap generic camera (image CCD). I also use an old JVC DV camera with iChat and that works as well. Login is a matter of seconds. I use AIM directory service (not .Mac). Which directory service are you using? I'll be happy to work with you on the various settings if that will help.
