More memory. Your Mac can take 16 GB (2X8). If you can;'t swing for 16, I would replace one 1 GB with an 8 GB stick. Make sure you get memory that the manufacture says will work with your model Mac. It is easy to upgrade memory.
http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/mac_mini2011/
That place also sells memory
I would also update the apps associated with:

Mac Mini running so slow

Not sure how to diagnose issues on my Mac, but I gathered I should run Etre and post results here. I know I could add more RAM, but this is so slow that I have to believe something else is going on. Can someone spot anything unusual in the following?

HP Pavilion 27xi Monitor: Display problem Mac Mini running Yosmite

Image quality is very poor for Mac Mini running Yosmite connected via HDMI.
Adjusting overscan helps scaling, but pixelation and poor image quality is not changed (very blurry)
Using VGA/mini display route with same devices, image quality if far better showing that somehow mini conncected to HP monitor via HDMI could be improved via driver update.
Is there a driver update for Yosmite?
Only drivers found were for Windows:

Hello @adsben,
I understand that the image quality for your HP monitor is poor when connected to your Mac Mini, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
According to this document on using HP Monitors on a Mac:
"HP monitors are not supported in a Mac environment. However, newer Macs use graphics with VESA modes and can display to most HP LCD monitors. To do this, connect the monitor to the Mac while the Mac is off, and then turn on the MAC. The monitor should operate at 60Hz. The INF and software for the HP monitor are for Microsoft Windows and cannot be run in a standard MAC OS environment."
I hope this helps!

Small Business w/Mac Mini Running Server OSX, Connect From Home Solution - VPN?

I am trying to setup my Mac Mini running OS X Server (Mountain Lion) to be accessed from users at home (for file sharing and Contact Services). Is a VPN the best solution? (Small business setup - privacy/security a concern).
Hi everyone, and Thanks for the help in advance!
I am currently setting up a network for my company (small business) and have a few questions. We have a Mac Mini (mid-2012) running Server OS X Mountain Lion, and 5 MBP's (our work computers- all running latest version of Mountain Lion).
To summarize:
My goal = Setup a secure way of connecting the MBP's to the server when our personnel are at home (for file sharing).
I am switching all of the users from local to network (we didn't need the network functionality when we first setup the server, and we are now expanding our use of it). This is going to occur this weekend, as downtime for the server is needed to make the changes.
After I establish the Open Directory and all of that, I will be setting up Contact Services (to share a master list of contacts with the members of our department) and we already have some Calendar sharing setup.
The purpose of this is to enable our employees the option of working necessary overtime from home so they can be with their families instead of in the office all the time. It is a noble cause and I want to set this up the best that I can for them.
This being said... I'm no Mac Genius, and this stuff can get very confusing very fast. I have read a little about VPN's, and am wondering if this is the solution to my problem. We need to establish a SECURE way of connecting to the server from remote locations, enabling us to pull needed files from the server.
If anybody can offer some advice on this I would really appreciate it. I love Apple products and I have faith that this is as easy as I've been told it is.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration!

No, it wasn't difficult at all to setup in OS X Server. I use a free internet domain name from DynDNS.com. I don't know if they still offer free ones anymore. You can not use VPN and 'Back to My Mac' at the same time as they use some or all of the same ports.
I'm at work and not on my Mac at the moment so this is from memory.
Within OS X Server, I enabled the VPN Service (default L2TP) and used my free domain name in the VPN Host Name and a Secret passphrase. This put an entry in my Airport Extreme router for VPN (port mapping).
Within the client Mac, I added a VPN network connnection (System Preferences /Network). I pointed to my free domain name in the Server Address, used my Server account name in the account name. I think there's an Authentication button that I clicked. I entered my Server account password, the Secret passphrase in the Secret field, checked a box to show VPN icon in Menu Bar and exited out of that. Then clicked the Advanced button and checked the box to send all traffic over VPN connection.
I had VPN authentication issues at first when trying to connect to test out the connection. I just kept trying as I knew I had all the settings correct and it would finally connect after about 3-4 tries. After that, I sometimes have to connect more than once to actually connect to my Server via VPN. But it does work nice. I brought my MBP into work once to test it out and was able to connect to my home Server via VPN and use Screen Sharing and had access to all my shared folders.

I downloaded and installed the: Mac mini EFI Firmware Update 1.6 on my mac mini running 10.8.1, was I correct in doing this ?

I downloaded and installed the: Mac mini EFI Firmware Update 1.6 on my mac mini running 10.8.1, was I correct in doing this ?
I didn't see this update come up in "Software Update"
If I was not meant to install this update, would it cause ANY damage at all to my mac ( this is my second as I dropped the first )
If I were to re-install ML would this fix any errors that this may have caused ?
The bottom of the page I link to says:
Boot ROM or SMC Version Information: MM51.0077.10
But when I click on "About this Mac" it says:
Boot ROM Version: MM51.0077.B10
SMC Version (system): 1.75f0
What does the additional "B" mean?
My mac mini is the Mid 2011 Model.
I am sorry if I am sounding super paranoid about this, but I don't want to have caused any permanent damage.

Hello,
It's somewhere between almost impossible & impossible to install the wrong EFI Update with all the checks it does!
Mac mini (Mid 2011) with Intel graphics
Macmini5,1
MM51.0077.B10 (EFI 1.6)
Mac mini (Mid 2011) with Radeon graphics
Macmini5,2
MM51.0077.B10 (EFI 1.6)
Mac mini Server (Mid 2011)
Macmini5,3
MM51.0077.B10 (EFI 1.6)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237
Not sure what the B means.
If I were to re-install ML would this fix any errors that this may have caused ?
No, Firmware is unaffected by any OS change or re-install.

I just connected my Mac Mini running OS 10.6.8 to a IG 32' monitor. What resolution should I select from the menu?

I just connected my wife's Mac Mini running OS 10.6.8 to an IG 32' monitor. What resolution should I select from the menu in order to provide maximum screen appearance? My wife has AMD and a visual acuity of 20/400 with central scotonata.

In System Preferences:Displays you have an option to show
Displays Prefs in the title bar above the screen - where she can
iteratively adjust to her liking. Higher screen resolutions, ironically,
result in smaller characters so adjust to suit. Below, Displays is
4th from L.
All best, Tom

Using Mac Mini running OSX Server (10.8) to host web sites on LAN

I would like to know how to use a Mac Mini running OSX Server (10.8 ML) to host web sites on my home network (LAN).
I am developing web sites and previously (before ML) I used my Mac Pro to 'host' the sites I was developing to test them out before publishing them to my hosting package. That was when I was using 10.7 Lion and theer was an option in the System Preferences to turn web sharing on.
I have since upgraded my Mac client to 10.8 ML and have configured it to do the same - even though there is no System Preferences option for web sharing any more.
I also have a Mac Mini running on my LAN and its been upgraded to OSX Server 10.8.
Im now trying to configure it to host the web sites I am developing but with no success.
I thought it was just a matter of adding them as sites in the Server's Websites panel (see screen shot)
but so far Ive had no success.
On my Mac client I can simply add a folder in the Sites directory and then open the web site by putting http://myhost/~myuser/name-of-folder and it will load the default file in the folder e.g. index.html
How do I achieve the 'same thing' on OSX Server?

Hi Johnfromglenver,
There are no Mac drivers for the HP Officejet K60 printer. Therefore it is not compatible with the Mac operating systems. Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region please click the link below to get the support number for your region. http://www.hp.com/cgi-bin/hpsupport/index.pl. There may be other solutions that could work for you.
I hope this information helps.

Mac mini running 10.8.2 and iPhoto keeps crashing on launch...

Hello-
I have the latest mac mini running 10.8.2 and iPhoto keeps crashing upon launch. I have done a complete uninstall and re-install on 3 different occasions, yet the issue still persists. Any ideas on what's causing this.....and most importantly how I can fix the issue?!?
Than you.

Hello,
I wonder if it's a variation of this, of which I've seen many different symptoms...
Resolution
Move the mouse or trackpad cursor over the center area of the login window so you can see the user icons. Click on the icon of the user that you would like to login as, type in the user's password, and press Return.
If the login window is configured to show only the name and password fields, type in the user's name and password into the fields, and press Return (even if you cannot see the rest of the login window).
Additional Information
This issue will not occur if the display is not sleeping when the account is logged out. Use the steps below to confirm that the account is not configured to log out automatically while the display is sleeping:
1. Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. Click the padlock to unlock the preference pane and enter your admin password. Click the Advanced button at the bottom, then see if the option "Log out after N minutes of inactivity" (where N is the number of minutes) is enabled.
2. Open System Preferences > Energy Saver and configure Display Sleep to occur after the account is logged out, by dragging the slider to a number of minutes that is greater than N was set to in the previous step.
Important: If automatic log out is not needed, disable "Log out after Nminutes of inactivity" in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. This will also prevent the issue.
