Problem with en0 on Mac Mini (mid 2011)

Hi all!
I have a strange issue with the network (en0) on my Mac Mini: it just stops working after a seemingly random amount of time.
I found this line in the system log (repeated hundreds of times):
Mar 30 20:52:20 Kandinsky kernel[0]: AppleBCM5701Ethernet [en0]:        1        4 timeoutOccurred - logic error in eed/low-power cycling.  fReady, fSleepState
Any suggestions as to what may be causing this? Maybe a hardware issue?
Thanks for your insights!

(SMC reset=  Shut down, disconnect power cord for 10 seconds, reconnect power cord, wait 5 more seconds, turn computer back on)
but it is slightly different:   (PMU REST = Shut computer down, disconnect power cord for 10+ seconds, reconnect power cord WHILE SIMULTANEOOUSLY PRESSING POWER BUTTON, let off power button for a few seconds, then press power button again to restart the mac mini.)
See if it's related to this...
It also seems to be related to later OSX versions, like 10.8.x & 10.9.x

  • How do you plug a VGA monitor to a Mac mini (mid 2011)

    I used my older Mac mini (mid 2007)  with a VGA LCD monitor through an "DVI to VGA" adapter with no problems.
    However, this older adapter does not fit in the "HDMI to DVI Adapter" supplied with my new Mac mini (mid 2011).
    There are no receptacles (holes) in the "HDMI to DVI adapter" for the four pins located around the flat tab on one hand of the older adapter .
    Any suggestion on how to plug a LCD VGA monitor to a mid 2011 Mac mini?
    I know there is a Thunderbolt port and a HDMI port,
    but being able to use an inexpensive VGA monitor for set-up and periodic maintenance,
    without having to fire up a huge plasma screen each time, would be nice.
    There is no displayport on this mid 2011 Mac mini.
    There does not seem to be any HDMI to VGA nor  Thunderbolt to VGA adapters on the market.
    Any suggestions?

    The > Apple - Thunderbolt Port is the same as and doubles as a Mini DisplayPort.
    Look down at the bottom of > Mac mini (Mid 2011) - Technical Specifications in the Accessories / Displays and Graphics section or on page #33 of your User Guide.

  • Mac Mini mid 2011 Mini Dvi to VGA problems

    I have a mac mini mid 2011 and I have to connected to a display in work.  The display only has a VGA entrance, so i bought a mini dvi to vga adapter from my local mac store, but when i connected to the display everything looks odd, the whole display has an odd purple look, I have tried to use a different VGA cable but keep having the same problem, I even tried a different display with the same results, anybody knows why this happens and how to fix it?

    Your welcome!
    On your end before returning the Adapter,
    try > Resetting the System Management Controller
    1. Shut down the computer.
    2. Unplug the computer's power cord.
    3. Wait fifteen seconds.
    4. Attach the computer's power cord.
    5. Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
    and > About NVRAM and PRAM
    1. Shut down the computer.
    2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    3. Turn on the computer.
    4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    6. Release the keys.
    then if that doesn't help, return the adapter and explain the problem to the Apple tech person at the store.

  • Mac mini (mid 2011) to Samsung led tv via hdmi connection problem.

    Samsung led tv - UE32D5000
    Mac mini (mid 2011)
    On regular monitor (connected by hdmi to dvi cable) setup teamviewer
    Try to:
    1. Connect different hdmi cables - dose not work (on apple tv - both cables work)
    2. Connect hdmi cable to different hdmi ports.
    3. On tv change type of source - PC, PC-DVI and other.
    By teamviewer I watched what was going on the computer - Mac mini does not recognize tv like monitor by pressing 'seek monitor'.

    Aha! Similar problem here; Mini (Intel, Macmini2,1, the 2007 version with the larger HDI port not the smaller one)
    Problem seems to happen only with both HDMI and USB connected (USB only to use the built-in webcam on the monitor, an AOC V22+ (which I love, it's a very nice monitor; LED instead of fluorescent backlight).
    Sometimes it would suddenly switch to where the dock and menu bars and status bar were hidden (the desktop gets 'too big for the screen).
    Then I'd go to the Display settings and unselect "overscan"
    Then it'd be OK for a while, then switch to a big black space around the desktop window, lots of unused screen).
    Then I'd go to the Display settings and reselect "overscan" and it'd be Ok.
    For a while.
    There really ought not be a need to fiddle with 'overscan' at all -- since I'm not using this as a television. Mac OS 10.3.6 seems to mistakenly think the monitor is being used as a TV -- maybe when there's a video in a browser window?
    Not sure.
    Anyhow it becomes a rock-paper-scissors problem where I have to keep chasing the settings to undo whatever it changes to at random, Lather rinse repeat.
    Seems like it's only a problem for me when I have the USB cable also connected, to use the built-in webcam -- so I don't use that now.
    The AOC folks have been working hard on solving this.
    I just found this topic and have referred them here.
    They'll be glad to know it's not their problem, I guess.
    (does it happen on Apple brand displays too? I'm not sure)

  • Windows 8 Release Preview on Mac Mini mid 2011

    I was wondering if its possible to install Windows 8 Release Preview on a Mac Mini mid 2011 via Bootcamp (Mainly for gaming purposes)

    I've finally got it installed on my HP Touchsmart 610-1000t (or whatever the number is).....
    Apparently it's a graphics card/driver issue. 
    I downloaded the enterprise final release and it did the same thing to me (black screen etc etc).
    In the end, I highly doubt some of these models are compatible with windows 8 if the final release is giving me the same problem.  The only difference is- now the sleep button worked, so I fiddled around with it until I got it fully installed (user created).  After doing so, I booted into Safe mode and disabled the graphics driver/restarted and it booted up fine/works fine.  Every now and then it crashes on IE10.  I wasn't able to test the touch capabilities during the releases between developer and final, so it wasn't until now I can finally test the functionarlity of ALL the gesture functionality.  I can say, the combination of the touch screen desktop and short cut keys makes everything so much quicker and easier.  I perfer windows 8 over windows 7 on my touchscreen, finally the touchscreen experience is much better! Of course I still use my keyboard and mouse.  The touch pinning/swiping is awesome.  I can't say the same for normal desktops in a corporate environment (without touchscreens).....I can say however- windows 8 tablets would be really nice in place of my Ipad or my laptop that I carry around from meeting to meeting, thus the reason I'm waiting for the Surface!  CItrix and apps can only take you so far.

  • How do I pair my new Mac mini (mid 2011) and white Apple Wireless Keyboard (2003)?

    I just bought a new Mac mini (mid 2011) and can not set it up via my Apple Wireless Keyboard (2003). I'm disheartened but not surprised that my Bluetooth 4.0 Mac isn't backwards-compatible with my Bluetooth 1.0 keyboard. But I can't find any documentation confirming the fact that my non-paired, but tested & perfectly functioning keyboard will not work with current Macs.
    I was however, able to locate a tech support doc (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4112) that mentions my Apple Wireless Keyboard (2003) is not compatible with iOS devices. (Which is not critical because iOS provides a non-physical keyboard. Aside, it would be lovely were Apple to add a non-physical keyboard to Mac OS X, if only so new desktop owners can continue to set up their Macs in a pinch.)

    I just bought a new mini mac (lion 2011) with a wireless keyboard.  I could not get the mac to recognise the keyboard.  Spent several hours back with the Genius team who replaced keyboard and mac but did not get anywhere.  They gave me a wired keyboard, was able to configure the mac and then it recognised the wireless keyboard.
    Seems this is a problem with the new mac/OS

  • Mac Mini (mid 2011) ram slot has failed: Any others experiencing?

    This seems similar to this problem, mentioned in a number of threads covering MacBooks, best described here: MacBook Pro loses access to 1 memory slot upon shutdown or reboot in OS X 10.8.1
    I'm having the same issue with a Mid-2011 Mac Mini (purchased June 2013).  As in that linked tread, overheating after OS upgrade (in my case , Mavericks) seems to be related.  I had constant crashes at sleep beginning about three weeks ago, and three tones at boot.  For about two weeks I could get it to reboot by unplugging and giving it some time. Until today. Cleaned. Tested both chips in both possible slots, but will always get three tones when either chip is in top slot, fine when that slot is empty. Hardware test appears to just ignore an empty slot, so really not helpful (and won't boot with filled slot).
    It appears the only real fix is a new logic board, which appears is almost as expensive as buying a new machine.
    I'm not going to get into "loosening screws" as suggested in linked discussion, but that may work for a powerbook.
    It does sounds like heat related warping. I saw early heating problems with this after 10.9.5 upgrade.  Ended up building a special vertical stand (Mini's venting is rather poor) and installed "Temperature Monitor" by Marcel Bresink Software, which I recommend, and uninstalled some things (including killing a Mac update process that was running constantly) .  This got the heat under control, but it looks like the damage was done. Now I'm running on one 8gb memory chip, which dramatically shortens the life of the machine.  It won't be a candidate for a Yosemite upgrade coming shortly.
    Must say I'm pretty disappointed in "Apple quality". Had similar experience (repeated shorts of logic board, replaced 3 times) with a MacBook c.1997, when Apple Co. was looking like it might not survive, and lots of folks were having such problems.  But at least then they would repair it for free. Given the premium price (without premium quality), I think this will be my last Mac, after having started with a Plus in the 1980s.

    Mac Mini mid 2011, installed 2x 4GB memory when first got this machine, has worked well till this year 2015 when it slowed way down and I found memory slot #2 was not working.  I swapped the cards and also reinstalled the original mac memory, still only half of the memory is detected in one slot.  It is always the same slot, not dependent on the memory card.  A mac mini which never gets moved.  Mar. 2, 2015

  • Mac Mini (mid 2011) Display Issues

    Hello.
    Recently I started having some issues with the display from my Mac Mini (mid 2011, core i7, 8GB, OS X 10.9). During usage the screen started flickering erratically and then went blank. I turned the Mac off and found that it was very hot so I removed the bottom cover and the RAM chips and gave it a bit of a clean (it was quite dusty) then I allowed it to cool before putting it back together. After putting it back together it worked for about a day until it had the same problem.
    Now on startup the following occurs:
    1. On the start-up screen (where the Apple logo is displayed) the screen is overwhelmingly pink (display RGB settings are fine), except for the left half of the Apple logo which remains grey.
    2. After progressing through the start-up screen the display goes white and nothing further happens.
    I have checked the display and it works fine. The HDMI cable is not the issue either.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be causing this and a possible fix?
    If it is of any help the monitor is an ASUS MT276H.
    Thanks.

    So I have tried a SMC reset and all that has changed is the front indicator light is off and the fan has kicked it up to 11. Please find a picture of the display I described earlier at the following link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wirrc01xut3p8tx/Photo%201-12-2013%2010%2054%2004%20pm. jpg (sorry it was taken with an iPhone 4).
    I have never performed an SMC reset before but it seems like it is taking a long time and/or not working. I'm at a loss to what this might be.

  • Mac mini (Mid 2011) inexplicably running slow, especially videos, despite what I think is sufficient memory.

    I have a Mac mini (Mid 2011). It has become slow in some ways even though I have 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 memory and almost 250GB of free storage. I recently installed Yosemite 10.10.1 (14B25) but I had noticed the slow down prior to that. Notably, videos no longer run smoothly. Instead, there are brief pauses in playback. I initially thought it was a problem with streaming videos but then found the same problem playing TV shows and movies downloaded from the iTunes store.
    There are now also lags for starting up certain programs and many programs seems sluggish once open. Not sure what could have caused the slow down since I don't even use the computer at issue very much and haven't recently installed any new software. No programs launch with log-in and all notifications are turned off. Any ideas? If there's a problem specifically related to video, I'd be interested in hearing that too. I use a Samsung monitor but it and everything else about my computer used to work perfectly and videos ran smoothly until fairly recently.

  • Mac mini mid 2011 missing apple logo slide up animation at logon in Mountain Lion!

    Here is a video I have found on Youtube to show the animation for those who didn't know, also showing a macbook pro which is missing this animation (Although in the video the OS is Lion but this is not the main point of this thread). the Apple logo gently slides up and the user image and password field appears:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztpCNmDYDZ4
    I have installed Mountain lion on my Macbook Pro 13inch Early 2011 first and I loved this little animation which made the boot even more beautiful.
    However when I installed Mountain Lion on my Mac mini mid 2011, I had to see that the animation is missing.
    Luckily I have an iMac 21,5 incher Late 2009 as well, so I updated the OS and the animation was present on the iMac.
    So I'm wondering if this is a bug or is there any reason why this nice animation is not visible on my Mac mini?
    I did a Clean install as well to make sure it's not the upgrade's fault and I got the same result.
    Both my Mac mini and Macbook Pro has SSD. My iMac has a regular HDD.
    There was a thread opened about this issue where they said the animation issue would be solved in Mountain Lion:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/18890484#18890484
    Well it was solved for my Macbook Pro and iMac seemingly but not for my Mac mini which is the latest from the family so it makes me sad that my newest computer is missing out on this little eyecandy. (Also I use the Mac mini most the time, so I miss this animation greatly)

    Same problem here. My MacBook Air (mid, 2012) doesn't have the issue and the animation is smooth. The problem is with my Mac mini (Early 2009). When it boots the apple logo shows up, then the spinning circle and then the screen goes black and the login screen appears afterwards with no animation.

  • Mac Mini (Mid-2011 Core i7) Slow after Yosemite Upgrade

    I've searched the other "slow after Yosemite upgrade" threads but those seem to relate to Core Duo 2 machines with less RAM.  I have a Core i7 MM w/ 8GB of RAM, after the Yosemite upgrade it constantly lags, I can barely type on it these days because the text lags so badly.  It's unusable to say the least.  Is there anything I can do to speed it up?  There must be a reason why the performance is so bad.

  • Does a 500 GB SSD work in a Mac Mini (mid 2011)?

    I have a Mac Mini (mid 2011), 2.5 GHz and 4 GB of memory.
    The iOS app called MacTracker says that this model is "configurable to 256 GB solid-state drive or 256 GB solid-state drive and 750 GB (7200-rpm) hard drive".
    I was thinking about buying a Samsung Electronics 840 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Single Unit Version Internal Solid State Drive. My doubt is: will it work in my Mac Mini or the maximum storage must be 256 GB? If it runs a 500 GB SSD, a Samsung EVO SSD would be a possible (or a perfect) choice?

    The info from MacTracker brings up the options available in a Configuration to Order
    at the time the product was new; so that tells people who may have found their unit
    bought with odd specs, such upgrade may be due to a CTO Apple factory upgrade.
    Other options that can work, of even higher spec capacity, can be researched in
    such mac-centric sites as macsales.com and others who have a reputation for
    customer service and quality products; many have information on their sites...
    Doesn't hurt to ask. OWC macsales may even have an online chat. Info on how
    to upgrade Apple products with later parts (out of warranty, etc) is available in
    their page as well as iFixit.com guides. Everymac.com also offers spec info.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Mac Mini (Mid 2011) display artifacts HDMI to DVI at native res

    Hello,
    I recently changed monitor configurations and in the process moved my Mac Mini (Mid 2011) to a HP LP2065 monitor.  The connection is made through the stock supplised HDMI to DVI adapter.   The monitor and the DVI cable work successfully with other machines.
    What occurs is only certain colors, usually black,  result in the display being red and/or sparkling and/or static (like TV static) when the monitor is set at its native resolution of 1600x1200.
    If I bump the resolution down to 1280x1024, or lower,  the black color returns and I see no display glitches.   If I bring the resolution back up to 1600x1200,  the display artifacts return.
    A few google searches suggest I use a DisplayPort to DVI adapter instead as some monitors are "finicky".   Does anyone agree with that?  It seems peculiar to me -- why would a digital signal have analog-looking glitches? 
    Any ideas welcome.. thanks for reading

    Your monitor has a native pixel resolution of 1920x1200.  There is no point in trying for 1080-p or -i.
    I run two 1920x1200 monitors via HDMI (with passive cable adapters where necessary) and I use these choices:
    ...and they are both pixel-sharp, filling the screen, and yet menu bars totally visible!
