On startup of Mac Mini running OS Mavericks login windows are invisible. Login is possible but there are no white boxes for username and password. Keyboard inputs also do not display.
Mac Mini with 2 Ghz Intel Core i7 running OS X 10.9.1. Recent problem with startup screen where I get a gray startup screen that is blank and does not show the login windows for username or password. Mousing over where they should be does provide a cursor change and I can click into the invisible window and login. Also, I can just type the information and hit enter and login without problems but the keystrokes do not appear either. This is not a big problem if I make sure that I type my login information correctly, but if I make a mistake it can be difficult make sure I am in the right place before I retype. Any ideas why the screen is just gray and does not show the windows? Once I type in the login info in the invisible windows and hit enter the computer starts up, loads finder, and runs without any other noticeable problems.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads 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 login 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. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Why does my Mac Mini running on Mavericks so slow to start and load apps?
Why does my Mac Mini running on Mavericks take so long to start and load apps?
1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
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. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. 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.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. 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.
10. 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 the results. No harm will be done.
11. 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 "Model Identifier." 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.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: 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.

Fan noise/overheating issue? I have a late 2008, 15'' MBP and I'm having a lot of fan noise while just running safari. I don't think this is normal but perhaps it is? Thanks for any and all help!
Runaway applications can increase fan activity

Startup asks for Username and Password - which we don't have
Our iMac G4 hard disk has failed and we've re-installed the Mac OX 4 system into our external drive. After installation the startup process asks for a username and password. We have never had to use a username and password on this computer and have no way of accessing what they could be. This means we cannot go any further and have to either shutdown or restart the computer (which just takes us back to username and password again). How do we circumvent this username and password?
It is presumably asking you to create a username and password so that it can make an admin account with them. There has to be at least one admin account: once you've got it up and running you can set it to auto-log in so that you don't need to enter the details every time you boot up. The previous installation must have had an admin account with a username and password, it's just that if it was set to auto-log-in you would only need it when installing new software. The new account doesn't have to have the same name as the old one, just invent something convenient: the username should be one word and lower-case.

After hours upon hours of finding fixes to get Oracle Application Express running, I am now on the verge of finally getting the test environment setup. In the frustration, I have now forgotten my username and password that I had when I created the thing.
Help?
BTW, is my default workspace called "Internal?"login with sys account over installation folder..
e.g C:\apex>sqlplus
connect:sys/xe@xe as sysdba
SQL:>@apxchpwd
You can reset ADMIN password(e.g Apex_4.2) -

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. -

Good morning Ajay,
The checkbox appears on the 4th screen when you use the "New Transformation Wizard" to create a function (directly under checkbox "Function is deterministic").
IMHO, whether the code is run in parallel or not depends on how the mapping is run; if parallel it would try to run the function in parallel as well (unless - I guess - you've altered the property of the function in the mapping which says it can only be run row-based).
HTH.

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:
http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Pavilion-27-inch-Displays/7274719/model/5304250/drivers
Please help
This question was solved.
View Solution.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!
Best Regards
MechPilot

I'm using LR5.7 on a Mac Mini running Mavericks and when I attempt to import a folder of new RAW photos from my external drive into my catalog instead of seeing a preview of each thumbnail photo I see the following message displayed: "Preview Unavailable for this file." If I highlight any other folder of photos the previews are all there. What is the likely reason for these previews being unavailable? JohnnyCam
What camera took these RAW photos?
Did you use any Nikon software to transfer the photos to your computer's hard disk? -
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.

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?

Monitor Issues after upgrading Mac Mini OS to Mavericks
I upgraded my older Mac Mini OS to Mavericks. The monitor always worked fine on Snow Leopard (10.6.8 I think), but now my Hanns G monitor takes fifteen minutes to display anything. Until then it is blank and makes clicking, popping noises every 3-5 seconds. After it comes up, it works fine and all the settings seem to be correct. Any ideas? Many thanks for any help you can provide.
Some more info: the monitor is a Hanns G HC194D and is set for 1280 x 1024 with a NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256 MB graphics. My Mac Mini has a 2.26 GHz Intel Core Duo processor and has 2 GB 1067 Mhz DDR4 memory. The monitor display profile says it was created two weeks ago which strikes me as a bit odd, but I updated the OS well before then and this has been an issue since I updated to OS 10.9.3. I have played around with the cables and the connections are tight, and once the monitor finally displays after 15 minutes or so on start-up or deep sleep, the monitor looks and runs fine.
It seems too coincidental that this problem only surfaced after upgrading the OS for it to be a monitor hardware issue, but I haven't seen any other reports of this type of problem. This is a very frustrating problem, so thanks for reading this far. -
