Many other users are having sucess by using EtreCheck to show what is installed so they can remove or update the 3rd party software, it can be a long process.

  • Internet runs slow on my Mac mini

    My internet runs slow on my Mac mini after I loded the new OS

    I sopped by the apple store with my Mac book air.  It worked well.   I took it home still same problem I have two wireless networks Uverse and AirPort Extreme.  My iMac was connected to the Uverse and the MacBook Air and Mac mini was connected to the Airport. When I connect all three to the Uverse everything works well. When I connect any one to the AirPort it is very slow. It worked fine with the old OS but not with the new OS. Is look like problem is with the AirPort Extreme and the new OS.

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after  you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post any other kind of report — it will be very long and not helpful.

  • Mac Mini wont stay shut down

    Hi. I have a mac mini. I bought it about april of '07. When i shut down my mac mini, it stays off for about five minutes and then turns back on automatically.
    anyone have this issue before?
    im running Mac OS X v 10.4.11

    Open the Accounts preferecne pane and select your account. Click the Login Items tab. In the list you will then see, you should see one or more EyeTV applications (I can't recall the exact names, but it's clear what they are). Click to select it (or them) and then click the '-' button beneath the window to remove them.
    That will delete the EyeTV scheduler/helper that is responsible for auto-waking systems.
    Don't just UNcheck the application(s) because that merely hides them!

  • I have a Mac pro(1 free bay) and a mac mini I need to back both of them  Is it better to use an external NAS HD or an internal hard drive on my mac pro (mid 2010) What option has the faster GB/s?

    I have a Mac pro(1 free bay) and a mac mini I need to back up both of them (time machine)  Is it better to use an external NAS HD or an internal hard drive on my mac pro (mid 2010)
    What option has the faster GB/s?

    Disk drive using native SATA bus interface will allow the drive to copy and always present and ready.
    But once you have backup any hourly changes should be smaller and as long as the NAS and your switch should allow enough.
    You should always have off line backups and don't rely on just one backup set or just TimeMachine.
    WD RED models are designed for RAID and NAS and 7.2k instead of your more standard slower green 5400 rpm green models while still costing less than WD Blacks.

  • How slow should a Mac mini with i7 2.3 GHz quad core be?

    I am really disappointed about how mind numbingly slow this computer is for even the most basic tasks.  I'm wondering is something wrong with it or is this just what happens when you don't have an SSD? 
    I have been using exclusively SSDs in my computers since about late 2009 or early 2010 and since then I have never really felt my computer was utlra slow.  I got a Mac mini as a temporary computer when my MacBook Pro started blowing up logic boards every other week while it is endlessly being "repaired".  Since this has the same exact processor I expected it to be reasonably speedy at least for simple tasks like web browsing, email, word processing, etc. (no heavy graphics work) but it's not.  Every experience is hard drive *crunch* *crunch* *crunch*, wait wait wait, *crunch* *crunch* *crunch*.  It's really very slow even on the simplest tasks and if I am running a few things it's like molasses.  According to activity monitor as expected the CPU is not taxed in the slightest.
    Is there something wrong or is this just what it's like going back to hard drives that spin?  Is there something I should be testing or looking into?   At least I can say that it doesn't crash.
    Timed with a stop watch it takes about 10-15 seconds to launch any of the following with nothing else open: Excel (blank workboook), Mail app, Firefox, etc.  It's worse with lots of things open.  Always tons audible hard drive activity no matter what I'm doing.

    First, back up all data immediately unless you already have a current backup. If you can't back up, stop here. Do not take any of the steps below.
    Step 1
    This diagnostic procedure will query the log for messages that may indicate a system issue. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU |hfs: Ru|I/O e|find tok|n Cause: -|NVDA\(|pagin|timed? ?o' | tail | awk '/:/{$4=""; print}' | open -ef
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key.
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, stop here and post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
    Step 2
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Run Software Update. If there's a firmware update, install it.
    If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
    If you have a portable computer, check the cycle count of the battery. It may be due for replacement.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane. See whether there's any change.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
    If you have a MacBook Pro with dual graphics, disable automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saverpreference pane for better performance at the cost of shorter battery life.
    Step 3
    When you notice the problem, launch the Activity Monitor 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 Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the View menu or the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for User, System, and Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the Memory tab. What value is shown in the bottom part of the window for Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in andWrites out.)
    Step 4
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

  • Mac Mini is a let down

    Got a phone call from my family again, seems like they are having more trouble with the Mac Mini.
    I downloaded some demos to my flash-drive using my PC, my connection is faster on my laptop, can download Halo Demo in a few minutes, much faster than what my family has, 56k, with the Mac Mini, it is still as slow as downloading anything when they used their old iMac.
    Anyway, I gave them a demo of Halo and they said there was a message saying something like, "not enough room, 150 MB is needed" and I guess from what they told me, the Mac Mini they got had only 1 GB of hard drive memory, which is pretty low, I mean no wonder, it is a "mini" computer, but I still expected more. I am kind of disappointed for them.
    To make things work, I guess they also need the admin password, which I suppose I kind of subtly suggested for security reasons, as so they do not accidentally install/download anything that could hurt their computer, or them.
    On top of all that is their mail is still not working and it took them like 2 hours to get it working.
    The biggest issue now however is they need to install OS 9 and the Mac Mini did not come with OS 9.
    WHAT IS UP WITH THAT???
    SINCE WHEN DID APPLE DENY OS 9???
    THAT WAS STANDARD IN MY DAY.
    Geeze, Apple.
    Perhaps I can use the iBook CDs or something. I am too tired to think straight now. Somebody please help me with these problems. In the meantime I will see if I can get over to them and take a look at it myself.
    Emperor Remus

    You are correct. The program that they attempted to install was Starcraft and Starcraft: Brood War. I purchased the game nearly 8 years ago and the CD still works fine because I installed it a few days ago on the PC laptop I am using. I managed to get all the updates needed from Battle.net. I gave the CDs to them so they can play against me and prepare for the upcoming release of Starcraft 2. W00t! Starcraft 2!
    Apparently however Starcraft is "so old" that it needs to be run on Mac OS 9 or at least needs to be run on Mac OS 9 while running Mac OS X, in a manner of speaking, where you click on an Mac OS 9 application and then that window box shows that Mac OS 9 is loading, all while on the Mac OS X desktop.
    There is that possibility it might screw up the Mac Mini, however I do not see why, because I did something like this similar, but with an iBook and it worked perfectly. Then again, Mac Minis are NOT iBooks.
    You assume correctly, they get internet through the phone line which goes into a router box and the ethernet cord comes out and connects to the Mac Mini. Which is strange, I thought the Mac Mini DID come with an internal modem...however I should know better, hence the name "mini". The Mac Mini appears to be a MINOR step up from their old iMac, which one of them uses for writing word documents or something. Speaking of which, I found out when I first looked at the Mac Mini when I visited them that Apple did not include any word software, like Appleworks or Clarisworks.
    God, Apple is getting sloppy. Good thing the Mac Mini was a GIFT. I would hate to be a poor sap to actually purchase the piece of poop, NO OFFENSE!!!
    WHAT!? I never said their e-mail was working. It is still NOT working. Well it is really the MAIL on the Mac Mini that is not working, same thing, they can not access their e-mail.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1548480&tstart=0
    OR look at this:
    My family's Mac Mini Mac OS 10.5 mail is not working. From what the told me, something happened to the mail icon and it was replaced by a question mark. One day the mail icon stopped working. They attempted to reinstall the software using the CDs that came with the Mac Mini, but it did not work.
    In addition, I talked to them earlier about upgrading to 10.5.3, but I presume that this mail problem is getting in the way of that, because they said they tried to download 10.5.1 but the site would not let them, or something like that.

  • I upgraded RAM to 16gb in my i7 mid 2011 mac mini and it shuts down at night

    I have a mid 2011 mac mini i7.  Below are the specs on memory, hardware, and solid state.  I also have Yosemite installed - everything is current. version 10.10.2
    I've had 8gb installed since I bought it.  And I just purchased 2 sticks of Crucial RAM 8gbx2.
    Everything is fine but when I go to bed and wake in the morning, the system will not wake-up.  I have fresh batteries in the keyboard and mouse.  The system mini is warm on top - not cold or hot.  So it does not seem asleep.  I have pressed the button on the mac mini once and thought it was alseep...nothing happens.  I just can't get it back up after it seems asleep at night.
    The only way I can get the system going again is pulling the power plug.  This has happened each night since installing the RAM.  Oh, I also have held the power button down for 5 seconds trying to do a hard reset.  Nothing
    I was really excited to get the system up and running with 16gb but hate trouble.  I am not a tech expert....
    I have not changed any settings.  And if it was asleep, why isn't it waking?
    Does anyone have any ideas here?

    Thank you for your help.
    I did both resets you offer in the link above and then I went to bed last night.
    In the morning, when I hit the keyboard, it paused and came to light....and said there was a problem and it automatically reset and re-booted from a blank screen (not main screen).  This was the screen after the reboot.  The full error info is listed below the image.

  • Mac Mini sound continually turning down

    My mac mini sound is continually turning down. When I hit the sound up button, the sound goes up for a millisecond and then goes back down. It is really annoying because the sound up icon is in the middle of my screen. This problem has been occurring on and off for a week now.

    Ok I found out how to fix it. I deleted my audio cache and it hasn't done it again.

  • Mac mini keeps displaying shut down message every 10 minutes help?

    My mac mini 320 gb machine with the cd drive in it from the 2010 model keeps displaying the shut down message every time minutes and I don't have enough time to check everything and i need some help. Thanks

    Here is a link to a system preference you can check.http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4014?viewlocale=en_US
    It is a security feature.
    You did not mention it but are you using a movie player other than the provide DVD player or iTunes.  For example VLC.  If you are, for some reason OS X does not know what is going on, i.e. watching a movie, so it thinks you left.  So, after 10mins it trys to log off.  The annoying part is that it will not do a force log off if there are programs running.  Well atleast it is annoying to me.
    Good Luck,
    C.

  • Mac mini start up shut down code

    I appreciate the two responses, from '300Tech' and TITOUMAX to my original question.
    I was reluctant to take the "sudo halt" terminal suggestion since a warning loomed over the danger of losing data.
    I was unable to post a copy of the code sequences suggested by TITOMAX since the problem was solved by the time I saw his post.
    I received an answer from Apple.
    I was able to halt display of start up and shut down code by shutting the Mac mini down and starting the machine while holding down  "cmd option PR" keys until the computer gave the normal start sound followed by a repeat of the start sound. This procedure led to a normal start up process and also a normal shut down process without the display of the "start up code" during start up or the display of the "shut down code" during shut down.
    By the way, holding down the "cmd option R" keys with my left hand while pressing the Mac mini start button with my right hand and quickly getting my right hand in place to hold the "P" key was tricky, but only took two tries to achieve success.
    I was concerned that the display of those lines of code was an indicator of an impending problem. It turned out to be an unintended feature following replacement of the logic board.
    By the way, Apple Care has been wortwhile for me.

    Thanks for the report, that's called a PRAM reset, CMD+Option+p+r...

  • Snow Leopard is slow on my mac mini

    I think snow leopard is slower than leopard on my mac mini. What is the matter?
    (excuse me for my english)

    I'm finding the same effect on my Mac Mini (just a few months old).
    My Mac Book Pro is actually noticeable faster with Snow Leopard, but the Mac Mini is 10 times slower than it was with Leopard - barely usable at all.
    My Mac Mini is 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 1GB Ram.
    I've checked the activity monitor and othing seems to be hogging the CPU or using up the RAM. I did try to boot into 64 bit kernel, but it didn't seem to work (once I unlocked the firmware).
    ... Fixed! ...
    Now my Mac Mini works blindingly fast again. Not sure how I fixed it, but could be a combination of removing all GPG traces, stopping EyeTV helper from starting up and trying many times to boot into 64 bit kernel (but never succeeded).
    (Also removed GeekTool and Secrets preference panes).
    Also, since the firmware was unlocked I got a Mac Mini Firmware update (to 1.2), so maybe that helped.

  • Slow performance on Mac mini

    Just purchased the lower end Mac mini preloaded with Mavericks. I am very disappointed with the performance. While it is not anywhere near top of the line, I don't expect this much lag time from any Mac product! Even logging in or switching users causes the rainbow wheel, or opening and adding browsers on Safari... Overall the system seems sluggish... Is this an OS issue that I need to wait for an update on, or do I need to upgrade to the higher performing Mac mini? I have the 2.5 dual core with 4GB RAM.
    Thanks for any advice!

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

  • Slow internet on mac mini lion

    Hi.
    Fequently when I'm trying to get connected with the web regardless if I use Safari or firefox it's very slow. I have my PC laptop in the same room and it works perfectly at the same time. Some days it works normally and some days it has a bad "hairday". How the heck can I solve this problem once and for all?
    I have a router (scientific atlanta) and it works perfectly both with my Iphone 4s and my laptop.
    It is a very strong Wi-Fi signal on the mac mini when it's only on 2 meters distance
    There are nothing in its surounding that can affect the signal
    The wifi on the mac mini finds and connects with my router
    My computer is a mac mini OS Lion
    2 GHz intel core 7i
    I would be so happy if I could get any hints and solutions for my problem
    Marcus

    2 meters is all I needed to know.   Unless you are more than 5 meters away, but not more than 50 meters away, you are not in the optimal distance for WiFi routers.   Under 5 meters, you have overlapping waves that can cancel each other out.

  • Slow network on mac mini

    Hi All
    I ma running the late 2012 mac mini on 10.8.5. Both the wifi and cat5 connected network is very slow when transfering files compared with other machines here on site. I have been trying to transfer films over to a nas box and it's taking 40 mins to copy a film that the other machines here are doing in 18 mins.
    I tried both wireless and hard wired, new cat 5 cable, different ports on the switch so the only conclusion I can come to is that it's the mac mini
    Can anyone shed any light on this for me.
    Thanks
    Glenn

    Hi Glenn,
    Open Network Utility>Info tab, choose those interfaces & Link Speed, errors & such.
    See also if Time Machine or Spotlight is tying up the Mini.
    Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
    Open Activity Monitor, Show:>All Processes, sort on CPU%, see if anything using too much CPU% when this happens, click on Memory tab, do you have many Pageouts?
