Mini CD's Problem ??

Good Afternoon all
A colleague from work has purchased a Intel Core Duo 17" iMac for his daughter, now she was installing music on it and has put in a small CD (roughly half the normal size). Is there any way to get this out without having to take it back to Apple ?
Cheers

first try:

next
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

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 Min, OSX Yosemite (10.10).

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!

G4 mini has a problem with its volume structure

My G4 mini has a problem with its volume structure according to Tech Tools Deluxe. One that the application can't seem to repair. Ran it 3 times and it always hangs before it completes the fix. Never hangs in exactly the same place in the repair routine, but always hangs.
Ran these tests because for the longest time the mini would accelerate (panic) and shut down. Installation on a new system hangs before it completes the install of all the upgrades. Any help would be appreciated.

I realize it was not clear from the original post whether or not DiskUtility had been tried yet to fix the hard drive.
To use DiskUtility to repair the drive, you have to boot from the original install disc that shipped with your Mini.
1) Insert the Install disc and the shutdown the Mini.
2) Restart the Mini and hold down the C key as soon as the startup chime or beep is heard. Hold it down until you see the "gear" spinning on the screen.
3) Select your language, but don't proceed any farther with installation. Use the Utilities menu at the top of the screen to run DiskUtility.
4) In DiskUtility, click once on the hard drive in the left panel, then click on the Repair Disk button in the right panel.

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.

HDMI to Mini Display Port problem.

When I connect my MacBook Pro 13" (early 2011) to my TV using my HDMI to Mini Display Port adapter the MacBook just shuts off completely. I can use a VGA adapter no problem but I would like to get better picture quality from HDMI. Anybody have any ideas what the problem is?
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried a different adapter/cable? This is where I would start. (see if you can borrow some).
You can also try these resets:

Mini-DVI out problem

I recieved my mini-dvi -> dvi apple adaptor from ebay this morning (finally!), but am having a feew teething problems. The plug fits snugly in the back of the iMac, but if pressure( only a little) is applied to the side or top of the plug (the one going into the back of the iMac), I lose the picture. Is it possible that I have a dodgy knock off adaptor ? The part number (603-3795) on the wrapper matched the part number for the 12" powerbook G4 mini-dvi -> dvi adaptor.
After a little more examination I have found that if the plug is pushed in fully, it does take a little leverage to make the connection 'die' I suspect this is due to the greater number of (very) small connections on the mini-dvi port. It does only seem to happen when the plug is pushed toward the DVD drive side of the iMac too (again suspecting losing the connection to a key pin or two).
Does anyone else have experience with this ,and can they advise if they experience similar problems?
Of particlar note is the fact that the menubar (which I have placed on the external monitor) does not get relocated to the iMac screen when the external monitor goes dark, so presumablyy the mac still thinks the monitor is connected. Is there any chance the problem is due to a faulty connection on the motherboard.
I only purchased the iMac from John Lewis last Weds, so presumably I would be within my rights to return it and insist on a replacement?
Grrr, just want it to work right
Thanks all

the cable was broken - new one from apple fixed it

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:

IPod mini Battery & Reset Problems - So Annoying!

Hi Everyone!
My first post and it's a problem!
I bought the second generation iPod mini back at the very end of February this year. I love it to bits and i've used it every single day since i got it! I charge it whenever i need to (mostly every other day!).
But recently in the last 3/4 weeks its started to play up. It now resets itself at least 2/3 times a day and has started to become really annoying. The iPod will now no-longer charge fully at all, and it's says the battery's dead, and then it'll grow again! The battery symbol and the battery text will also come up frequently!
This is really starting to get on my nerves!
What can i do, i've only had it for nearly 8 months!
Please help and offer any suggestions!
Rich!

Hi Richard,
Sounds like you're having the same problem as me (I posted in a seperate post same time as you!!)
Hope someone can help us out, can't face having to send mine to Apple to be fixed and be without it for a week or two!!!

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?
Any help is greatly appreciated!! Here are system specs on MacMini(running upgraded ssd) and Macbook pro.

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

10.6.4 Server on Mini Server - DNS Problems - Slow, EDNS log messages

Like a few of other people here, I'm having a hard time getting DNS to work smoothly on my new Mac Mini Server, now running Snow Leopard Server 10.6.4. I'd been running Leopard Server on a previous machine with much smoother DNS (though the Server Admin config didn't work, that's another story).
Resolution takes a very, very long time and eventually I'll get messages in the log saying 'success resolving 'xxxxxx' after reducing the advertised EDNS UDP packet size to 512 octets'.
I've searched everywhere and there seem to be two reasons why this is happening:
1. The DNS server is stopping responding on TCP, and is only responding on UDP;
2. Some other portion of my network (maybe the router) doesn't like UDP packets bigger than 512 octets.
For the first - is there any way I can fix this within OS X Server? There is no problem in the network since the router itself (running Linux) can resolve via TCP (using the forwarder addresses that are set up in my OS X Server config) instantly, and any clients that I switch from using the internal OS X Server (for DNS resolution) to use an external resolver work immediately too. I'm not sure why the daemon on OS X Server stops listening on TCP port 53 and only accepts UDP - and then only forwards on queries via EDNS via UDP - which is where I seem to have a problem.
Secondly - can I disable EDNS somehow and just do plain old DNS?
Some of the threads point to routers that don't like UDP packets over 512 octets, some point to firewalls and adaptive code that closes off ports when an app tries too many times, etc. I've opened ALL firewalls - turned off the OS X Server firewall, turned off the SPI firewall in the router (it's a Netgear DG834 with the DGTeam custom firmware), and I'm as far as I can go without buying a new router.
If the only answer is 'OS X Server needs a better router' then I'd appreciate what router I should buy - this situation is becoming untenable since the DNS resolution performance of my entire network is unpredictable, and I don't want to have to reboot the Server on a regular basis when there are loads of clients and their home directories sitting on it, since OS X Client gets twitchy when your home folder vanishes off the network…
I'm happy hacking config files - but can't seem to see anything in the DNS config that would allow me to either turn off EDNS or restrict the packet size to 512 octets (there's a comment in the config file that the directive is ignored for this one, fat lot of help that is). As to why the server itself stops listening to TCP port 53…. I have no idea and I can't find a solution with a search.
So in the absence of solutions - can anyone help me with a workaround? The only 'answered' question in this domain was 'answered' with the OP finding a workaround in their router firmware that changed the DNS cache packet size. I can't find anything like this in my router config, so I can't use this workaround. Are there any workarounds I can apply to my OS X Server, that don't rely on my router?
Yes, I know the router isn't that special, but it's a small business network. Advice on an upgrade would be welcome but doesn't solve the problem for me now. I'm based in the UK, if anyone also in the UK can recommend a suitable small-business NAT router I can use then I'd find that helpful, but I don't want to be told to purchase an enterprise-class router, turn off NAT and be recommended a store in the USA as it won't be that helpful
Ideally there'd be a way to tweak the DNS server on OS X to not bother with EDNS, or to stick to 512 octet sized packets (can I do this globally for all UDP from my server?), or to keep working on TCP…
Anyone know? The machine hosts client homes internally and serves mail, web and DNS externally. It's not a high-traffic system and it sits at the end of a business-grade ADSL line. I'm not being DoS'd - this behaviour seems random as to when it strikes. I try to restart the named daemon on the server when it strikes, but I need to be on the network to make that happen….
Solutions appear to be out, but I'd really appreciate a workaround. Many thanks in advance!
