Problem waking mac mini

I have BT mouse and keyboard.
I set my Mac Mini to sleep after 1 hour.
When it sleeps I can't get it back up...I end up having to use the power button to reboot.
Mac Mini   Mac OS X (10.4.1)  

I have the same problem on my G5 mini, and keyboard and mouse are USB. System goes to sleep and doesn't wake up on mouse movement or keyboard activity. If I pulse the power switch, the system "wakes up" but the mouse is frozen and I have to do a hard reboot. Mouse is plugged into my Apple HD display, whch is amongst other things, plugged into a USB port on the mini itself.
Anyone have any ideas?

    Your advice did not help me. I also installed 10.7.4 combo but the situation is the same.
    my internet connection is ok, mail is ok, but app store after 3 resets does not recognize my ID and it says "connection is not possible". Why? I have the same problem in both my mac mini late 2009 and mac book air 2010? Is it a problem of 10.7.4 update? I have to solve this problem and how can i return to 10.7.3 if my last backup was not with 10.7.3???thank you for your kind collaboration...

    Hi Gerard,
    Are you certain there's no traces of MacKeeper left?
    I have no idea how they can get away with advertising MacKeeper at all.
    You really really need to uninstall it, but maybe not using their uninstaller.
    Klaus1's great post on MacKeeper...

    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    Reboot & see if Flash Installer works.

  • FileMaker Server problem on Mac Mini Server - Mac Mini won't boot

    I just installed a brand new Mac Mini Server today, and also FileMaker Server 11. A first-timer for both Mac OS X Server and FileMaker Server, I made an error as explained below, and right now I don't know how to get back on track with the system. It won't boot.
    So, how did this happen?
    At first everything was proceeding according to plan. I configured the pre-installed Mac OS X Server on the Mac Mini with users, groups and services. This was tested from clients and this seemed to work just fine. Then I installed and configured FileMaker Server. This was also tested from a client, and the example database that came with FMS was served up just fine.
    The problem arose when I tried to install my existing FileMaker databases. I simply checked to see where in the file system the example database was located, and then copied my old databases to that location (I think it was Library > FileMaker Server > Data > Databases or something close to it - can't check it now...). I had the FileMaker Server Admin Console running, and hit the Refresh button hoping that this would make FileMaker Server find the databases.
    This was my first error. I should have read ahead in the instructions to see that one is supposed to use an Upload Database assistant instead...
    What happened when I hit refresh was that the FileMaker Server Admin Console became completely unresponsive with a spinning ball as cursor. I left it for about an hour hoping it would terminate, but gave up and tried to shut it down. It wouldn't close, so I force quit it from the Finder. Then I tried to shut down FileMaker Server, but I needed to force quit this as well. After this I thought it would be best to reboot the Mac Mini, so I shut it down, but now it won't even boot, it just stays on the screen with the spinning wheel for ever!
    I have tried all the keyboard options while booting, but nothing seems to help. In safe mode, the grey progress bar just grows to about one third, then disappears and leaves the eternally spinning wheel.
    The server version of the Mac Mini doesn't have an optical drive, only two internal hard drives. I tried to reinstall from scratch using the optical drive on another Mac on the network. The startup disk appeared when I tried to boot the Mac Mini holding down the option key, and after about 20 minutes or so of the spinning wheel I could actually access the discs. I started by running Disk Utility to check disk permissions. There were a lot of repairs concerning permissions and groups, especially on "Library". It said "ACL differs on Library", I don't know what this is but this was repaired. I then ran Repair Disk. The volume appeared to be OK.
    When I tried to reinstall Mac OS X Server however, this failed with the message
    "You can't upgrade this version of Mac OS X because a newer version is installed. Mac OS X Server couldn't be installed on this disk." I don't know how this can be, but I may have run software update earlier today.
    What should I try next? Should I erase the primary HD and try to install again? Or should I install the system software on the secondary HD? Or should I just try to reboot as is in the hope that the disk permission repairs did the trick...?
    Any helpful pointers would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello there, I came across your post when browsing the forum for passive advice. I am in the same boat as you and am a first timer for both of these tools. I work for a company who now needs to expand its network and database capabilities. I have been assigned this task and these are the tools i have opted for. I have not yet purchased them and i am pleased to find someone who has my desired setup. Could you please advise on the simplicity of the setup and whether an advanced knowledge is required.
    I want to use it in a mixed operating system environment. Is this possible?
    Regards

  • DVD Problems on Mac Mini Server

    I am installing a Mac Mini Server box and have two problems with the External MacAir DVD drive.
    1. It won't boot the install DVD - Yes I held down the 'C' key through the boot sequence.
    2. I have changed all disk insertion events (in System Preferences - CDs & DVDs) to ignore but if I insert a blank DVD (to do an unattended backup), it spits it out again if I am not logged in. If I am logged in, the DVD stays put but I need to have the console logged out.

  • Problem with Mac Mini and Panasonic PT-AE700 projector

    I just bought a brand new Mac Mini and intended to connect it through hdmi to my Panasonic PT-AE700 projector (with a 10 m hdmi-hdmi cable and a dvi-hdmi adapter). However there is no signal recognized by the projector.
    Any suggestions? I have tried with two different dvi-hdmi adapters between the Mini and the cable. Both work fine with my MacBook Pro, but with the Mini there is no signal.
    Mac Mini   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Thanks again BSteely for your answer.
    Unfortunately I still haven't been able to get anything out from the projector through HDMI.
    However, I've found someone with a similar problem. It seems the problem is the lenght of the HDMI cable (which in fact is closer to 15 m than 10 m). HDMI is designed to handle at least those 10-15 m runs, but the problem seems to be DVI, which is only capable of something around 5 m. Since I'm converting from DVI to HDMI, I'm subject to DVI's limitations. And the MBP seems to have better capability of handling the weaked signal than the Mini.

    Gefen should have an amplifier (HDMI Super Booster) that could solve the problem. I just ordered it to see if it could help in strenghtening the signal and solve the problem for me.

  • Strange problem with mac mini hdmi, denon avr 3310 and itunes

    Hello,
    I just bought the new mac mini with HDMI. It is connected via HDMI to my receiver Denon AVR 3310. The receiver shows that it has "multi channel in" on the display.
    I made all the configurations so that i can watch dvd an the mac mini. When i play a movie with Dolby Digital the receiver does show that on the display and playback is possible without any problems. I hear sound on all my 5.1 speakers.
    The big problem is with iTunes. When I want to watch rented series, for example Dr. House, only 2 speakers of my 5.1 are used. And when I change to surround in iTunes I can only hear static noise.
    What is the problem? Did I make a wrong configuration or is something wrong with iTunes?
    Thanks in advance

    Great news! My Mac mini is sending true 5.1 to my reciever through the HDMI cable! Okay so here's my list of gear.
    MAC MINI 2011 2.5 i5 8gb ram
    Using a quality audioquest hdmi I have connected my Mac mini to my Denon 1712 Reciever. I have connected this hdmi cable into hdmi port entitled game 2. I have connect my reciever to my tv with a monster 1000 hdx thx certified hdmi cable. It has a transmission sped of 17 gb or so...meaning it can handle transmitting 3d...if only I had a 3d tv.
    Okay so that's the gear. Now onto the changes in audio midi. Open audio midi and Simply change it to 48000 hz and to 2 channel 16 bit integer. That's all I did and now it works. Before I had it set to 8 channel 24 bit and when I pulled up my surround sound options I could pretty much only get multi channel stereo. Now I can get several Dolby choices.
    The voices are coming out of the center speaker and all the action is coming out of the other speakers....so in other words 5.1 surround sound has been achieved on my Mac mini 2011 which has Lion on it.
    I have tested this with iTunes and Netflix. Both are in 5.1 and sound great. In iTunes I have tested both music and digital copies of movies. Both worked flawlessly.
    Rejoice Mac mini owners 5.1 surround is now possible over your Mac mini 2011 edition with just an hdmi cable to your reciever. You can throw away that toslink cable becuase now you don't need it!
    I hope this works for you. Remember not all hdmi cables and the same holds true for your reciever. If it does not work consider getting either audioquest or monster....everything else is junk.

  • Problem switcing Mac Mini HDMI via an Onkyo 606 Receiver

    I'm having problems when attempting to switch my Mac Mini HDMI via my Onkyo Receiver. Connecting via a DVI to HDMI converter. Works fine when connected directly to the TV.
    When connected via the Onkyo, I get the Apple logo at the begining of the boot-up process, but when the screen would ordinarily switch to my desktop background, the screen goes blank.
    Any suggestions?
    John.

    Do you have a second computer at your disposal? In cases like this, the best debugging method is to use a second computer and create a screen sharing setup under OS X Leopard, or a VNC set up if the second computer is not a Mac running Leopard. That way you will be able to see exactly what the mini is doing, even though the TV is blank.
    Probably, in the end, you are going to need something like Gefen's DVI Detective to get HDMI switching to work the way you want it to.

  • Incompatibility problems with mac mini MA206LL/A* and linksys WRT610N

    i purchased a new wrt610n and one of the machines that is connected is a mac mini, 1.66 ghz intel core duo.
    #ma2066/ll/a for those who want to compare notes. the computer is stock with the 802.11g wireless card that came with the machine. it is running the current software and all the updates are up to date.
    i am using wpa 2 personal w / aes
    their is some kind of incompatibility or issue between the wrt610n and the mac mini.
    either using the wireless connection OR connected directly to the router, web pages are very slow to load. sometimes it can take up to 45 seconds for the mac mini to open up a webpage. for 45 seconds it is at 'contacting website'
    when i try to run software update, i get a time out error -1001, make sure you can connect to the internet and try again.
    hulu desktop is also running slow.
    copying a file from the mac mini to a another computer over wifi averages about 1 mb/s
    when i informed linksys about this problem, they took my phone number and said that a linksys Technician / senior tech support employee would call me back. that was a day or so ago. i asked if i can have any newer firmware, considering the latest is 5 months old.
    i am considering returning this router, but i don't see a lot of good alternatives that have similar features. i have 21 days to return this. the restocking fee will be 15% i am also considering various 802.11n solutions for the mac mini, even including the dell 1500 wireless mini card, i heard it works as an airport card.
    if i do get a different model router i would like external antennas.
    my previous router was a 5 year old wrt54gs version 2.0, and it never had a problem with any of the computers with the network.
    the trouble shooting steps involved changing the beacon to 75 and the mtu to something else, i forgot. it did not make a difference.
    i moved the mini and connected it wired to the wrt610 and turned off the airport wireless card and there was no improvement.
    when i disconnected the wrt610n and connected the mac mini directly to my dsl modem. the issues were suddenly gone.
    theres some kind of problem with this particular unit. and i would like to hear from others who have solved this or are experiencing the same problem

    Just out of curiosity: what internet provider do you have? I'm just asking since I had similar issues after switching from AT&T DSL to AT&T U-verse. Sometimes pages took a very long time to load, or just a part or image of the page. Sometimes I would get a page not found error or something like this and only refreshing the page several times would retrieve and display the actual page.
    Here's what I did: I went into my iMac's network preferences and switched the DNS server IP with one from OpenDNS.com, such as 208.67.222.222.
    Since then I haven't had these issues anymore. Don't ask me why though; but I would be curious to hear whether this may fix your issue as well!

  • Problem with Mac Mini and LG Flatron monitor locked in 'power saviing mode'

    Hi I bought my Mac Mini in July 2009 and have being having more and more issues with my monitor. Form the beginging the monitor had issues after the mac went to sleep. I have tried setting the exact refresh rate to 60 using SwitchResX, but now I can't get the monitor to display anything is stuck in 'power saving mode' - I have tried everything shutting down the moitor the Mac, disconnection the adapter, nothing works. BTW the monitor is fine I am using my PC laptop and the monitor to write this cry ofr help right now. Its a LG Flatron L222WS and I am using a mini display port to VGA adaptor.
    I read somewhere that reverting to Mac OS 10.5.6 might do the trick - any other ideas?

    Try starting in Safe mode and see if you can get the monitor to work again. If it gives a useable screen in Safe mode, go into Displays preferences and set the resolution to 1680 x 1050 and restart normally.
    Hopefully that will get you back to where the monitor is working again with the mini.
    There should be no relationship between a monitor's sleep habits and whether refresh is exactly 60Hz or not, so I wouldn't mess with SRX anymore to try and correct that problem.

  • Problems with Mac Mini and Premiere Pro CC 2014

    I am new to video editing with a background in graphic design and typically do short corporate videos.
    I am currently using a Mac Mini (late 2012 model), running Mavericks 10.9.5. And I keep having a problem with Premiere Pro CC 2014 freezing in the program monitor, while scrubbing through the timeline.
    Here are my specs:
    Processor: 2.6 GHz Intel Quad Core i7
    Memory: 16 GB
    Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024MB
    I am also using a 2TB Fantom G-Force Megadisk external HD to store all my media. It is connected via a Firewire 800 cable
    I'm wondering if the freezing is caused by Mac Mini having a integrated graphics card vs. a discreet one. Has anyone else had any problems like this using a Mac Mini?

  • Problems with mac mini recognizing aluminum keyboard

    I have a Mac Mini 1.4ghz dual core and I have problems with it recognizing the apple aluminum keyboard.  The keyboard works fine with my macbook.  The keyboard actually works fine if I do a restart but if I shut it down and then open it, the keyboard was not recognized.  I spent hours with Apple support trying various combinations of connecting and reconnecting to the usb ports.  I did my own research and found that I could get the keyboard to work if I connected it through an external 4 slot usb hub, although it showed that it was connected through aa a usb 2 hub rather than the usb 3 hub which is standard on the mac mini.  Shutting down and starting up with the external 4 slot usb hub (it does not have its own power source)  always works.  All of my other devices work flawlessly with all the usb ports on the mac mini.  I finally (although I doubt that this is final) was able to get the keyboard recognized on the mac mini by plugging the keyboard into my macbook and then plugging my iPhone into one of the usb ports on the side of my keyboard.  I unplugged the iPhone from the keyboard and I then plugged the keyboard directly into the mac mini and it was recognized and worked fine.  I did a restart and the keyboard worked fine but I am a little reluctant to shut it down for fear that on start up it will be lost again.  The only thing I can think of is that I had the iphone plugged into the keyboard before this all happened and unplugged it without removing the iphone from the desk top and that screwed things up.  It is the only conclusion I can come to.  I would appreciate any thought or ideas people might have.  As I said I spent two days and may hours with apple support and they could not help me other than to tell me to take everything to the genius bar which I am reluctant to do.

    Thanks for the response but I think maybe you missed part of my post.  The keyboard works fine with my mac book and with my son's macbook.  The keyboard is actually working right now.  It has been a problem with shut down and then strart up.  I think that I went through all those other SMC and PRAM efforts with Apple support and actually many others and they were completely stumped.  I think that this is a complicated problem for which there may only be a work around but I am hopeful that the next time I shut down, it will work.  I appreciate ideas but if my 4 or 5 hours with Apple support cannot help, I do not believe this is going to be a simple solution but if someone has encountered this or something similar, I would welcome their ideas.  I have gone to the Apple Store in Madison, WI on several occasions and unfortunately I often know more than the people that help me so I am reluctant to go there and to trust the staff at the genius bar.    For example, I recently purchased and Apple watch and the first person that helped me did not know how to turn it on and the second person did not know it came with two different length bands, and I once bought a case for my iphone and the person who helped me was more interested in the color than in the functionality of the case.  I could go on but I am not confident in the competence of the staff there so I am hoping that someone in the support community can help me.

  • After Yosemite, numerous problems on Mac Mini with Custom Fusion Drive

    I have installed OS X Yosemite on a Mac Mini with a "homemade" fusion drive.  The update seems to have completed, although the following problems are evident:
    Missing menu items from the menu bar, including the apple menu, notifications, time machine and others
    Menu bar items return after booting non-apple software (MS Office, for instance), but disappear again once apple apps are running (App Store).  You can mouse over these menus, even though their respective icons are not there, and access the content within the menus.
    iTunes crashes upon launch; app store launches, but no content loads.  Additionally, the app store menu item under the missing apple menu location, shows 4 software updates are available, but cannot load the app store content in order to access the updates.
    Safari loads, but enters a continuous loop of "A problem occurred with this webpage so it was reloaded."  Then, a application quit notification window appears, stating "Safari Web Content quit unexpectedly."
    Lots of spinning beachball now that was not happening prior to update.
    I've tried resetting the machine numerous times.  Nothing seems to fix the problem(s)
    The machine seems to recognize the fusion drive in system report, and all files are accessible in finder, so I don't think the fusion drive is the issue.
    Any suggestions, pointers, fixes?

    I have installed OS X Yosemite on a Mac Mini with a "homemade" fusion drive.  The update seems to have completed, although the following problems are evident:
    Missing menu items from the menu bar, including the apple menu, notifications, time machine and others
    Menu bar items return after booting non-apple software (MS Office, for instance), but disappear again once apple apps are running (App Store).  You can mouse over these menus, even though their respective icons are not there, and access the content within the menus.
    iTunes crashes upon launch; app store launches, but no content loads.  Additionally, the app store menu item under the missing apple menu location, shows 4 software updates are available, but cannot load the app store content in order to access the updates.
    Safari loads, but enters a continuous loop of "A problem occurred with this webpage so it was reloaded."  Then, a application quit notification window appears, stating "Safari Web Content quit unexpectedly."
    Lots of spinning beachball now that was not happening prior to update.
    I've tried resetting the machine numerous times.  Nothing seems to fix the problem(s)
    The machine seems to recognize the fusion drive in system report, and all files are accessible in finder, so I don't think the fusion drive is the issue.
