New mac mini running slow
08/26/2011
I just bought a new max mini with Lion, it is SLOW, SLOW SLOW. What is wrong?
Me too! I just posted about this. I bought mine 1 month ago. It's too slow for the lion features. Please let me know if you hear anything. I will too.

Is it possible to screen share an old iMac running 10.4 with a new Mac Mini running Yosemite
Is it possible to screen share an old iMac running 10.4 with a new Mac Mini running Yosemite. I am trying to bring the old iMac screen up on the Yosemite system
Hello! Not out of the box: OS X Mountain Lion: About screen sharing You'll have to look for third-party options like Teamviewer

I am getting Error 150:30 when I launch CS4 on a new Mac Mini running OSX 10.9.3
I am getting Error 150:30 when I launch CS4 on a new Mac Mini running OSX 10.9.3.
The application was restored from a backup using Apple Time Machine.
I would reinstall the applications, since I have the original disks, but alas, the Mac Mini has no external drive.
Any ideas?CS4 is untested and unsupported under 10.9.x
That said, you should uninstall everything run the cleaner tool and then download the CS4 installer and try it again.
If that doesn’t do it, you’re on your own.

New Mac Mini is Slow, Upgrade RAM?
I have a new Mac Mini. Considering the cost, it is surprisingly slow. It has 2GB of RAM and I think that may be the problem. What sort of speed increase can I expect with an upgrade to 8GB? The main problem seems to be swapping and switching between applications.
Is a RAM upgrade likely to fix this issue?Wait, what? Someone actually listened to advice from someone who has been developing software for 33 years!?
Yeah, RAM matters if you're doing something like video editing or 3D graphics or even some sort of heavy Photoshop. Or if you are running numerous Chrome tabs at once or something like that. But it would have to be heavy use indeed if you're running into slowdown with 8 gigs.
What filesharing apps do, basically, is this: they have a buffer in memory, which might be a few megs. They fill that buffer up, then they write that buffer to disk. This is so it's not thrashing your disk all the time with tiny writes, but on the other hand, you wouldn't want it to download a gig before writing to disk: what if the computer crashed and you had to download all that data again?
Once you have 8 gigs, the MOST BANG FOR THE BUCK BY FAR is an SSD drive. In fact, I have a Windows gaming machine with 4 gigs from 2007 that still runs most of what I need just fine, and an SSD just drove the performance out the roof. You want a second larger drive on the thing, which is where you store non-speed-critical apps and all your data, and then a 100-200 gig SSD is where you put your OS and speed-critical apps, and loading it from there is far far faster than off of a conventional hard disk. This isn't something you'd want to install yourself on a Mac Mini though.

Just bought a new Mac Mini (1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo; 512MB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM). Innitially it seemed to run really quickly and smoothly. Then I started loading software on it like MS Office, downloaded Stuffit (new version). Now it takes forever to switch between applications, internet seems slower (but this may just be subjective). Once an app. is up and running it seems to be appropriately fast and responsive, but if I pause for too long, or change between open apps, it takes forever to repond.
Also, and this may be a separate issue, dragging and clicking, one of the beautifully intuitive things about Macs, doesn't seem to be consistantly intuitive anymore. Seems more and more like a PC! Maybe I'm just getting old and stupid, but I'm particularly having troubles with this in iTunes. I'll likely post about this over there too. Thanks for any suggestions.
JohnPerformance issues are often highly subjective, so as much as the system may seem to be deteriorating, it's possible that the sense it is doing so is based more on the resultant frustration from small changes in perceived speed resulting from such things as running non-native applications such as MS Office.
The previous poster is right, I think, in suggesting that you might try Neo Office instead of MS Office, since this will get you out from under the poor performance issues inevitably related to the use of Rosetta. In addition however, I think you might take this opportunity to do a little maintenance to ensure that the system is running as efficiently as possible.
The telling comment you make is that the system appeared to run well at first, but deteriorated in performance as you installed additional software. While it's possible you are reacting to a small subjective change, it's also possible that in installing additional software you have impacted MacOS. I would suggest you download a general-purpose utility such as YASU from www.versiontracker.com, and once installed, run all tasks (except deleting cookies). Particularly important in this situation is the prebinding task. Prebinding is the process which links applications and their libraries and updating it will make sure that this is correct. If it is not, you would typically find that applications are slow to open and can suffer brief 'stall-outs' as they are running.
YASU will also do some routine tasks such as repairing permissions, clearing log files and caches etc that can all be negatively impacted by installing software and updating the system, so the tasks involved can be beneficial in dealing with deteriorating performance.
The reboot after running YASU will take a little longer than usual - this is not a problem. Afterwards, once the system has rebuilt the cache files, you should notice slightly smoother performance, if not a little faster. -
New Mac Mini running very hot?
I have just bought (few days ago) a new Mini 2.0GHz with standard 1GB RAM and 120GB HD and it's my first Intel Mini so I have no reference for this behaviour.
When I boot the system up it shows CPU at around 57-59 C temperature and 1-2% load, so basically idle state.
If I get it to do things, it will climb up to 78-80 C at 80% load. Did not run at 100% load yet, but 78 C feels pretty hot as it is.
The bottom of the unit is very hot and the sides and even top are warmer than what I'd expect the Mini to be.
Is this normal behaviour or should I return this unit and get a different one?3dluvr wrote:
Thanks for all replies, I guess I'll just have to settle that it runs this high.
Though some people have told me their Minis are cooler than 57 C idle, I tend to believe Apple does not take much care when applying thermal paste or seating the heatsink onto the CPU. I have read way too many reports supporting this to be the case when people opened their Minis and checked...
I have same problem that you with new Mac Mini 2GHz and 2GB of Ram and 160GB of HDD.
Yesterday I run aMule, and I can see CPU B was 79º and CPU A 68º with 50% or 60% of load and I was afraid of it.
Do you use your Mac Mini to full load and it works well? Did you try to apply a new thermal paste?
Thank you and sorry for my bad English -
Can the new Mac Mini run OSX 10.7.5?
I have the new 1.4GHz Mac Mini w/4GB Ram. I bought a Mediasonic external 4 bay drive. It's connected by USB 3.0. One of the drives in the enclosure is my old HD with Mac OSX 10.7.5 installed. I've tried booting up from that drive through the USB 3 connection with no luck. Is it an external drive issue or does the new Mac Mini not support that old of an OS? Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks!
Not outside of a product such as VirtualBox, Parallels Desktop, or VMware Fusion; Mac OS X 10.7.5 doesn't contain the drivers needed to boot that Mac model.

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. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
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.

Mac Mini running slow after Mavericks
Hi All
I have a Mac Mini which I upgraded to Mavericks and now it intermittently runs extremely slow - almost at a standstill. I have tried a number of things, such as a complete OSX re-install; I've used MacKeeper to tidy up my junk; I have installed Time Machine Scheduler to stop constant back-ups; I have tested the machine when the Iomega Time Machine drive is unconnected and my 2TB external archive drive is unattached too; I have removed Flashplayer programmes, Silver light etc etc. But nothing is helping (I have not tried uninstalling Microsoft Office, yet!).
I is a busy working machine and I am now having to resort to using my Mac Air because things are so bad.
Weirdly, my wife's identical Mac Mini (with Mavericks) has none of these problems.
Here is my report from EtreCheck.... PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP AS I GOING CRAZY!!!
Thanks
Keith

I've used MacKeeper to tidy up my junk; I have installed Time Machine Scheduler to stop constant back-ups;
That's your first two mistakes. Get rid of MacKeeper. It is of no benefit, and is arguably detrimental.
Secondly, Time Machine backups only backup what has changed in the last hour. They should not be "constant", but even if they are, the speed at which the backup is made is irrelevant.
Get rid of the Kromtech thing, whatever that is, too.
Two things to test:
1. Does it work in Safeboot Mode? If so, then it's likely some third-party software that you normally have running.
2. Does it work in a brand new user account? If so, then your problem is a corrupt preference or cache in your old user account, or some user-triggered process. Go back to the old account and start refining your hunt. Remove a bunch of preference files and test; empty user caches with a utility like Onyx; turn off Login Items, etc. -

I have tried everything I can find on the web, as well as everything that I can think of, to try and fix my issues currently happening with my Mac Mini 2011. Anymore, it can take up to thirty-seconds for application to open. I also have unresponsive applications and severe lag to the point of where I can hear the hard-drive constantly revving whereas it used to not. Again, I have tried everything: reinstalled applications, deleted cache, repaired Permissions, etc. My Mac Mini used to run great, and I know it still should. Please someone assist me.
-willPlease read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. It will be slow, but application launches should not take as long as you say they do.
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2. -
I've updated my Mac Mini to OSX Mavericks and since then my computer has been running slow. I've gone through other threads and followed recommendations and still the issue persists. I ran EtreCheck and got the following:

Does anyone have any feedback on if there is anything that can be done to improve performance?
Thanks in advanceYou are only running on 2GB of RAM. I would suggest 4GB as a minimum, and if possible, maxing out the Mini. LogMeIn and TeamViewer have been culprits for some users in Mavericks, also.

Mac mini running slow, will disk utility in machine be effective
Mac mini came installed with 10.4 when purchase long time ago. Looks like the dvd reader no longer works since any cd or dvd gets ejected. The mini has been running slow and I cannot restart with Mac Install DVD to run the Disk Utility since it gets ejected. Will the Disk Utility that is found in machines Utilities be just as good for repairing compared to the Install DVD? Current OS is 10.6.8.
Try it. Some disk repair requires booting from other than the disk being repaired.

New Mac Mini Running Fine-Mavericks 10.9.5
I am an Apple convert from Microsoft. Giving up Windows after years of the gut wrenching abuse over the years of XP only to have Microsoft kill it. That being said and out of the way.
I find my old school computer self coming from the 4 color Amiga Desktop Icons and Apple color palette in yon days of old, only to find countless reviews about Yosemite's "eye candy" problem. Who cares? So far, in the reviews I am reading a bunch of Blah, blah typing. Know one has given or provided conditions in which they installed Yosemite and type of Mac, including, but not limited to, the compatibilty of the Apps they have installed. So, I am here instead of blogging on Apple's Yosemite review page.
I have a Late 2012 Mac Mini i5, 4 GB memory, 500 GB HD with 27" Thunderbolt Display. A LaCie 1 TB ext HD and a WD My Passport 1 TB ext HD. I'm using Boot Camp to dual boot Windows 7 Pro. I am running MS Office 2011 for Mac in Mavericks. I use Firefox as my secondary browser. I am running an HP 6520 Photosmart wireless printer. I have a Cisco E2500 router. I want to know if upgrading to Yosemite will cause more problems for me than to bite the bullet and clean install. How about, if my Mac is working, why fix it with an upgrade that I will not use. I don't have an iPhone. Do I wait until Apple forces me to install? By the way, how will it affect my 0 partition if I choose to revert back to Mavericks. What about driver functionality in Yosemite? Someone has got to feel my struggle. Thanks.jndupuis1 wrote:
I've only had this Mini since August. I have had to update Safari twice, apps once and OS X once. A bit excessive for being so new. ( Well, Microsoft was worse about updates ). You all are helpful in the support community. I'll quit reading reviews now and ask all of you the meat and potato questions.
You can expect an OS update from Apple every couple of months unless there's a truly nasty bug that Apple is trying to stamp out. Security updates come up as needed. The one nice thing about Apple updates is that I don't worry about them bricking my computer. Not saying it doesn't happen and I always plan for the worst but backing up one last time before applying the update, but I can't think of a Mac OS update that has been a disaster for my contingent of computers. Can't say the same for Windows updates.
There's a wealth of knowledge here at the ASC - the depth and breadth continues to amaze me and I've been hanging out here for a very long time. You'll find the same level of knowledge at many Linux sites but I've found those to be less forgiving of newbies than the ASC is.
