Does the mini show any sign of life at all? Have you checked the outlet to make sure it has power, and tried plugging the mini into a different mains socket?
If the mains power is OK, and the mini is completely dead, then there are really only two possible problems: either the power 'brick' is faulty or the mini has suffered a hardware failure. If you can try your power brick with another mini, or borrow another power brick and try it with your mini, that would identify which.

    Mine doesn't either. Don't think it's anything to worry about. Just a little less noise pollution, IMHO.

  • My Mac Mini doesn't start up when usb devices are plugged in.

    My Mac Mini doesn't start up when usb devices are plugged in.
    It just shows the "White screen of Death" when 1 or more usb ports are used.

    Haha. I just restarted it and it worked. Instead of turning it off and on. But thanks.
    By the way:
    Note: It is possible that the SMC could encounter an issue that may cause unusual system behavior typically related to the symptoms described below. In some cases, resetting the SMC may be the only correct method to resolve the issue, however, an SMC reset should only be attempted after all other standard troubleshooting has been performed.
    So I hope it is fixed for now. But could someone also post another solution?

  • Bonjour keeps dying and doesn't want to start back up.

    Hey guys,
    On a bunch of our machines, after being upgraded to 10.6, bonjour appears to die completely. Sometimes I can get it to work again via CLI, sometimes I can't. All of our printers for our Macs are shared out via bonjour on a 10.5 Server. The majority of the machines are running 10.6.7, some are still on 10.6.6, but the problem has been around since at least 10.6.4, as far as I can remember.
    Any ideas why this is happening or how to fix it?

  • MacBook Pro doesn't want to start up anymore.

    My MacBook Pro doesn't want to start up anymore.
    When I turn it on, it turns on, followed by a white/light grey screen with apple logo. After a while a loading wheel appears beneath the logo and a loading bar beneath it. The loading bar loads to about 1/5 and then disappears, leaving the computer stuck on the the white screen with the apple logo and the loading wheel.
    I tried to reset the PRAM, but it didn't help, it only got the startup sound to play when I turn the MacBook on.
    What can I do about this? Hopefully I don't need to lose my files.
    Thanks in advance,
    Emil

    Seems like I have to use my Time Machine backup drive to reinstall the OS.
    No you don't.
    OS X can be reinstalled all by itself leaving the programs and files alone, provided the drive is working correctly.
    I'm not quite sure how to recover the files from Macintosh HD that I don't want to be deleted during this process.
    The TM drive is almost useless because you can't boot from it to recover your latest files with.
    That's why I gave the link  for the undelete boot drive, you create and boot from that, access your internal drive and grab files, then you can restore from TM or other things, like the repair list of fixes I gave you.
    Could you help me a little on how to backup files manually most easily?
    The problem is your machine isn't booting to grab the files.
    So you need to create a external boot drive, then you can access the internal boot drive directly and grab files out of your Music, Pictures, Movies, Documents folders (etc) to the external boot drive.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    Or is there a way to do this without deleting all of the files in my user folders on Macintosh HD?
    Yes, you can choose to create a
    Create a data recovery, undelete boot drive
    and recover your filesnow , or you can chose to try fixing the machine without recovering your files, but your taking your chances as we don't know how seriously wrong it is yet.
    If your willing to take a risk then proceed through this list, Step 1 - 8 etc., until the machine boots up.
    Step by Step to fix your Mac
    If the machine doesn't boot up then you need to create the external boot drive to get the files before proceeding with further steps.
    If this is too much for you, then call a local PC/Mac data recovery/repair service and they will handle it for a large fee.

  • I have a new MAC MINI and I want to install a second monitor.  I have one connected to the HDMI and it works.  I can't get a signal to the other one.  It is connected from the thunderbolt to its HDMI port.  How can I make it work?

    Could be a bad cable or bad Thunderbolt port.
    You have 90 days of free telephone support on a new device. You can call them at 1-800-MY-APPLE. Have your Mini's serial number handy
    You can also make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My Mac Mini doesn't recognize my Avengers DVD--it keeps saying "Supported disc not available." I've tried other DVD's which work, but not this one. itunes and everything else has been updated to the newest versions. Help?

    My Mac Mini doesn't recognize my Avengers DVD--it keeps saying "Supported disc not available." I've tried other DVD's which work, but not this one. itunes and everything else has been updated to the newest versions. Help? Also...It doesn't recognize the digital copy DVD.

    I have ALL the exact same symptoms as on my home computer.
    It sure sounds to me like something on the iPod is broken. If it's under warranty then I would send it back for repair. If not, check out some of the web repair services, such as iPodResQ etc.

  • I converted from a PC to a Mac Mini.  I have my PC documents backed up on a DVD disk.  I have an external DVD drive connected to the Mac Mini.  I want to open them up and save them to the Mac, BUT....when I put the DVD disk in the Mac is NOT reading it!

    Hi Joe,
    Thanks for your quick response.  I should add....it worked before.  When I previously inserted the two DVDs into this remote drive, and I went into finder, I could click on the "remote device" line and see all my saved documents (excel, word, etc) on the DVD and open them on the Mac.  Now I cannot see them, when I try to open them on the Mac, nothing happens, nothing is displayed.  I just re-tested the remote DVD drive with a CD and, no problem, it opened up the CD via iTunes and I cold play the CD.  SO......I know the remote DVD drive (it's an LG by the way) is fine, it's something to do with some settings on my mini mac,especially where I could open it previously.  I do not remember changing any settings since then. 
    When I go into system preferences and click on CD/DVD it gives me options of how to open up a music CD (default is iTunes), a DVD (default is iMovie), etc.  The problem is my DVD is all miscellaneious files/documents.  I just want to be able to see them in the finder.  I also tried to open them via microsoft word, from the remote disk and again, it could not open the drive, even though some of the documents were microsoft word documents.  Again, I was able to open them previously and the DVD is not corrupted in any way.  
    Any additional advice? 
    Thank you!

  • I have a late 2012 iMac and a late 2009 mac mini.  I want to know if I can take the 8 GB of ram from the iMac and install it in my mac mini.

    I have a late 2012 iMac and a late 2009 mac mini.  I want to know if I can take the 8 GB of ram from the iMac and install it in my mac mini.
    According to Cruicial my mac mini could use:
    Module Size: 8GB Kit (4GBx2)
    Package: 204-pin SODIMM
    Feature: DDR3 PC3-8500
    Specs: DDR3 PC3-8500 • CL=7 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR3-1066 • 1.35V • 512Meg x 64
    Also According to Cruical my iMac uses:
    Module Size: 8GB Kit (4GBx2)
    Package: 204-pin SODIMM
    Feature: DDR3 PC3-12800
    Specs: DDR3 PC3-12800 • CL=11 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR3-1600 • 1.35V
    I want to increase the ram in both computers. 
    So,  can I put the iMac ram in my mac mini and then I'd only have to buy ram for my iMac?  Naturally the ulitmate test will be when I actually install it,  but having an expectation of success or failure will allow me to plan on what to spend money on.
    Thanks,
    Bear

    Thanks for the responses.  I probably wont even try as my priority is Ram for the mac mini.  2 is not enough.  8 for my imac is okay for now. 
    Somewhere I thought I'd heard that faster Ram would simply clock at the lower speed.  It seems that I am incorrect.
    Thanks,
    Bear

  • My new mac mini (3 month) didn't start up,all that appeared was a white screen and a flashing folder with a question mark inside it.

    My new Mac mini (3 month) didn't start up, all that appeared was a white screen and a flashing folder with a question mark inside it.
    I followed by recommendations from 'Everything Mac': "shut it down by pressing and holding the power button for about 5 seconds.
    Then hold down the Option key and press the power button again to start up the Mac mini. Keep holding down the Option key until
    the Mac mini starts up."
    But I got a Wi-Fi button only to chose and connect the local network. I connected to my network and I can't use this connection
    becouse no icons.
    Could you please help me?

    Your Mini (running 10.6.4) should have come with grey-colored install disks. Now is the time to put them into service. Turn on your computer so that there is power to accept disk #1 into the optical drive. Once  the disk is in the drive, shut off the computer by holding the start button down until it powers off. Then turn it on this time holding down the "C" key to make the computer boot from the disk. The question mark that you saw indicates that the computer cannot find a bootable volume. This can happen due to corrupted system files or an improper shutdown etc. Once you are in the "Installer" you can choose Disk Utility from the Utilities Menu in the menu bar. Use it to repair the disk and to see if that can solve your trouble.
