Hello,
Have you blown the dust out lately?
Get Temperature Monitor to see if it's heat related...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/12381/temperature-monitor
Please report all temps.
Take a screen shot & view that in Preview, move the Preview window around, if you see double lines it's a Video card/VRAM problem, if the lines do not move moving the pic around then it's the LCD or cable.

Mac Mini Intel boots to blue screen and gets stuck
Mac Mini running 10.6 Intel won't boot up. I get the chime, then the apple logo, then a blue screen, then nothing but the small rotating circle, which appears and disappears about every 5 seconds (not the color wheel, but the one that just looks like hands on a clock turning.)
Per apple online help, tried starting up in Safe mode. Same result. No boot. Just blue.
Per apple help, I started up in Sinlge User mode and ran Fsck from command line (I don't have the install disk). First run of Fsck said FILE SYSTEM WAS MODFIFED. Ran it again, per apple help. Second time, said volume appeared to be OK. Typed "reboot". Same result. No boot, just blue screen and rotating circle.
Not sure what else to try. Any help?
ThanksSometimes PRAM seems to retain info from a previous startup disk error condition. There is a small chance that resetting the PRAM might help.
You can get a replacement for your original OS X install DVD and any bundled apps from AppleCare (1-800-275-2273) for a shipping and handling fee. You will need to provide your Mac's serial number so they can send the correct DVD(s) for your specific model. -
I have a Logitech mouse and keyboard that worked fine before the update. Now I can't get past the login in screen, because I'm unable to click on anything. I have the arrow and it moves around,but won't click on anything
Try using the arrow keys to move around. Press enter to the account you want to go to. I don't know if you can access the password bar after this... it's all I know for now.

2010 Mac Mini OS 10.10.1 screen is stretched out
Hi,
I have a 2010 Mac Mini that I use at work and I also use a second monitor via an adapter through USB. The setup worked until I installed Yosemite (10.10.1) on Friday.
When I go to Settings / Displays I don't get all the resolution options I had before (for my main monitor, 20", res. 1680 x 1050) and my secondary monitor isn't recognized at all (as if it wasn't even connected).
This is my main monitor: http://www.pcworld.com/product/1417007/lg-l203wt-widescreen-lcd-monitor.html
I've tried resetting the PRAM but that didn't work. I'm a designer and I can't work with my screen stretched out.
Can anyone let me know if there is a way to fix this???
Thanks in advance!Look for update software for the USB video adopter.
The 2010 mini has an HDMI video adopter and came with a HDMI to DVI adopter, It also has a mini displayport video output. You can get an adopter to connect HDMI, DVI and VGA,
Mini DisplayPort with support for up to 2560-by-1600 resolution
HDMI port with support for up to 1920-by-1200 resolution
DVI output using HDMI to DVI Adapter (included)
VGA output using Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter (sold separately)
Support for extended desktop and video mirroring across both ports -
when i active my mac pro all i get is a white screen and it loading and when it fully load its turn off , and it keep on doing the same thing for hours
Hi Shahenaz,
It's a little difficult to understand exactly what's going on with your mac based on the description you gave. Is there anything else you could add? Is it stuck in a reboot loop? Or is it just showing a white screen forever?
I had pretty much the same problem a few days ago, and was worried my mac was screwed permanently, but I got it fixed up no problem!
Follow these steps to try and troubleshoot/fix the problem.
1. Boot into OSX Recovery Mode
First, turn off your Mac. If it isn't responding, or is stuck in a reboot loop, just hold down the power button until it turns off, and you hear the fans stop. Then boot it while holding the Command and R keys. If it successfully boots into OSX Recovery Mode, continue with this step. If not, skip to step two. (My Mac couldn't successfully boot into the recovery mode, so I had to go to step 2)
Select "Disk Utility" from the list of options, and find your built in hard drive from the list on the left. Usually there are two listings/names for your drive. The first should be something like "500GB longchainoflettersnumbers Media". Then the one below will be a little easier on the eyes, named Macintosh HD, if you haven't changed its name. That's the one you want, click it.
Now go to the "First Aid" tab. Click on the "Verify Disk" button in the bottom right corner, and let it do its thing. Once that's done, hit repair disk, also in the bottom right corner. If your disk is corrupted, you may need to run the repair process several times, before it comes up completely clean.
Once this is done, select Shut Down from the Apple menu and, once your Mac is completely off, turn it back on like normal. If it works, great. If not, proceed to step two.
2. SafeBoot
Sometimes, when a mac is acting up and doesn't want to start, all it takes is a safe boot, followed by a regular restart. Or maybe you recently installed a program that either has malicious or errored coding that's causing your troubles. This is where Safe Boot comes in.
Turn off your mac, and reboot it while holding Shift. (If you want to see the process that's going on in the background, boot while holding Shift, Command, and V. This will enter something called Verbose Mode).
If it boots successfully into Safe Mode, great. If you believe that there's a particular program that you recently downloaded that might be causing your trouble, now's the time to delete it. If not, just reboot normally and see if it works! If it doesn't, or if your Mac didn't even Safe Boot like mine, proceed to step 3.
3. Fsck!
For this step, you're going to be booting your mac into Single User Mode. I'm not going to go into details as to what this step does, but it works for some people. Here are the steps.
Turn off your mac, and reboot it while holding Command and S. The screen should go black, and you'll see some white text run across the screen, wait a few seconds, until you see the command prompt. Now type
fsck -fy
and hit the Enter key. This will run a series of system checks, which could take a few minutes. Be patient on this part. Once it's done, it will show one of two messages:
1. "The volume (your Mac) appears to be OK
or
2. "File System Was Modified"
If you got message 1, type reboot and press Return. Hopefully your computer works after this - if not, proceed to step 4.
If you got message 2, run the same command again until you get message 1. If it doesn't seem to be working, turn off your system and proceed to step 4.
If you couldn't even boot into Single User Mode in the first place (like me), go to step 4 anyways.
Step 4: Reset the NVRAM
The NVRAM is another kind of RAM that stores data like the computer volume you had set before you turned it off, or the screen brightness, resolution etc. This memory is saved, unlike with regular RAM. Resetting it isn't harmful to your system, it will just put your screen brightness, volume, etc. to defaults.
Turn off your Mac, and reboot while holding Command, Option, P, and R, and continue holding them down until you hear the computer restart again.
I can't really explain why to do this step, I just know it works for some people, and seems to be what unbricked my MacBook Pro. If none of these steps, fixed your Mac, well the situation is looking pretty grim. Try setting up a meeting with a Mac Genius at your local Apple store. However, I know that many other people with these symptoms ended up having a logic board failure. Apple can swap out your logic board for a new one, but the price is pretty hefty, somewhere around $300 I believe.
Well I wish you luck, I hope this helped you! -

Also, my time capsule is blinking amber. I've reset my password a few times and it doesn't help. Also have shut down completely and unplugged everything to no avail.

Does 2012 mac mini get very hot when using logic pro
does 2012 mac mini get very hot when using logic pro
Are you saying that your machine does or is it an enquiry before buying ? I use a 2011 server model - well, it does get hot over a period of time, but I've very rarely heard the fan kick in, its a surprise when it does. As far as I know the casing has been specifically designed to conduct heat, rather than having any fancy grilles and so on, being so small in size. I haven't found it to be cause for concern, if that's any help.
