Mac Mini reboots when connected TV is switeched off

Hi,
I have connected my Mini to my Samsung LCD-TV (LE40R5) via DVI-to-HDMI adapter cable, i.e. I use the HDMI input of the TV. The audio output of the mini goes via optical connection to my audio-decoder station.
When I run FrontRow to listen to music and then turn off the TV with the TV's remote control (because I have selected the correct music-play-list in FrontRow and now just want to hear music without the need of havig the TV running) then about 2 seconds later the mini starts a reboot!
This is reproducable and only happens since I did the last Mac-SW-update (about a week agao, ~middle of april).
FYI:Before the SW-upgrade no reboot happend, but the apple-remote was no more working without running TV. Now the apple-remote works but the mini reboots )-:
Does anyone have the same issue and has a solution for avoiding the reboot???
Any help very much appreciated!

Hi,
Yes the external driv might be an idea.
In the meantime I found out that the problem only appears when I listen music via Front Row. However, if I listen music directly from iTunes then I can switch off the TV and the mini stays awake.
So the reboot problem must be within Front Row.
Does anybody have an idea if Front Row can be configured in any way?
Is there a configuration program for it ?

2006 Intel Mac mini starts to load then turns off and sometime a kernel panic warning will appear

Mac mini starts then powers off before loading osx and sometimes gives a kernel panic warning

Tough without the Install disc, but some things to try...
Does it boot to Single User Mode, CMD+s keys at bootup, if so try...
/sbin/fsck -fy
Repeat until it shows no errors fixed.
(Space between fsck AND -fy important).

Mac Mini Fan Still Running After Turning Off Computer

I turned off my computer (Mac Mini) and, after the screen had gone black and the light turned off, I still heard the fan running. I turned off the monitor and my speakers, but it was neither of them, it was the mini. It also wouldn't let me turn it on again. I tried, but the light wouldn't come on. So I unplugged the power cable and plugged it back in and it turned on. Any reason why this happened and should I be worried?

Mac Mini crashes when airport is turned on

Hi
I have a mack mini from 2008 running leopard 10.5.7. It just crashed/hung the other day for no reason so i wipped the HD and reinstalled leopard after a long process of illimination. I had it working in safe mode prior to reinstall with no problems so i assumed this was a software problem. So after the reinstall everything works fine except for one thing. When i turn on airport it does exactly the same thing...just crashes and hangs. I have run out of ideas as to how to correct he issue. It's airport for sure and I have no idea why it's happening. Any ideas would be most welcome.
thanks

Thank you for the reply...I had already done the hardware test....but since posting if discovered this in an article and it works.
SOOOOO...here what this is....the airport tcpip settings(IPv6) needs to be switched off...it's as simple as that...
System preferences, Network, Airport, TCP/IP, Configure IPv6, SET IT TO OFF...and all good...
many thanks

Mac Mini crashes when HDMI-connected AV receiver powered off

This issue concerns a Mac Mini, mid 2011, running Yosemite. It is connected to a Yamaha AV receiver using HDMI and under normal circumstances works normally. However, whenever I power off the AV receiver, the Mac Mini crashes (spontaneously restarts).
I can't find any trace of a kernel panic, and there is no message after startup to say that the system has restarted unexpectedly.
For example, the system log from last night shows that is was performing a backup, and then there's the boot message at the time I shut the AV receiver down:
1/24/15 10:18:29.000 PM kernel[0]: hfs: mounted Recovery HD on device disk0s3

ASL Module "com.apple.authd" sharing output destination "/var/log/asl" with ASL Module "com.apple.asl".
Output parameters from ASL Module "com.apple.asl" override any specified in ASL Module "com.apple.authd".
I have swapped out the HDMI cable in case it is faulty, but this has not changed anything. This issue is easily reproducible but I haven't been able to find any possible solutions. It started after the Yosemite upgrade. Also, the AV receiver need not be displaying the Mac Mini video for this to occur. It will crash regardless of what channel the receiver is showing.
Any help would be much appreciated!

I have a similar issue after recently buying a receiver (Sony STR-DN1050) and wiring my mac mini through it.
Some observations that seems to be linked.
1. When I power up the receiver with another hdmi input than the mac mini, the mac mini switches fast between displays, from the TV name to unknown (observed through Remote Desktop), and sometimes log out the user.
2. Then, when switching to the mac mini hdmi input, everything works fine, as the mac will recognise the TV.
3. When switching off the receiver, the remote desktop disconnects and usually the mac mini will log off user or restart- not sure which.
Edit: Right now, when I powered off the receiver, the mac stayed on... no idea why, as it usually disconnects as mentioned above.
Edit2: As I look in the Display settings, the mac now recognizes my receiver as Display when it is turned off, presumably because I turned off HDMI pass-through on the receiver settings.
However, I still have problem 1 above: When I turn on the receiver with any other input than the Mac Mini, the mac will start switching displays and log out the user.

Mac Mini reboots restarts upon wake from sleep

Since 'upgrading' from Lion to Mountain Lion, my Mac Mini reboots (Restarts) whenever I wake it from sleep. I've applied every update hoping it will be fixed. Apple has been unable to resolve the issue short of their standard suggestion to reformat and reinstall from scratch. I've had to resort to disabling the energy saver.
A Google search turns up many similar complaints. Anyone have a fix or suggestion?
Thanks

Did you get anywhere with this? I have the same problem i fear as per my separate post

Hi, Hugo,
In similar cases it helped to remove the GarageBand "Preferences" file from the User Library.
Open the folder
your home folder > Library > Preferences
and move the file "com.apple.garageband.plist" to the Desktop.
Then try again to launch GarageBand.

I am set up mac mini and when I test the mail server by sending a mail from administrator to administrator I get the error message 'Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection refused'. Can any one suggest a solution

Thanks. Where could I possibly look for a firewall rule. I knowingly did not creat any. My system has internet coming to a Modem which then is connected to a wireless router. I have computers connecting to the router through cable as well as wireless. One of these computers has been our mailserver using Mercury and Pegasus and that computer has a static IP address. The Mac Mini also has been assigned a different srtatic IP address. I have only set up user account, none of them an email account as I initially expect them to receive only internal mails. Is it necessary that I must set up an email id for each user while setting up the user account. My server id is server.local. So would the email id for local users be [email protected]?

My mac mini beeps when i'm trying to turn it on. what's the problem?

today when I came to turn on my 2011 mac mini, he just didn't turn on, kept on beeping.
anybody knows what's the problem? and how can I solve it?

Didi you replace any ram? How many beeps do you get? It can beep up to five times in a row and the pause and start over. Check this atticle.http://www.welovemacs.com/whdoallthbme.html

Mac Mini sluggish when USB external drives connected

I'm not sure what's causing this issue, but I have a Late 2012 Mac Mini and when I plug in a USB 3.0 thumb drive or my WD My Book Studio (also USB 3.0), the mouse cursor is very sluggish and laggy. I will physically move around my mouse and the cursor is extremely slow to reflect such movements on the screen. It did it with an empty USB flash drive, so there's no indexing or anything else going on in the background. Ejecting the drive will not solve this issue until I physically remove the drive from the USB port. What's causing this and how do I fix it?

format the drives for MAC OSX extended journeled.....when you do that, is the problem still present?
Ive head of this before on WD drives (cant stand them) because they have some nasty bloat loaded onto them for installing them (no need for that EVER) on your computer.
when you insert the WD drive, does the drive come up AND ANOTHER icon saying something like "WD xxxx" (i recall its something like WD utility, or WD support) ???
Ive got nearly 100 hard drives, but wont own a WD, ....if i get a free one, i destroy anything on it with a erase and wipe with disk utility "format for mac osx extended journaled"
AS FOR YOUR STICK DRIVE,......are you sure its mac compatable??? most stick drives list that in the fine print, and mac owners buy a cheap stick drive that isnt 'kosher' with MAC

Mac mini 2,1 won't turn on

Hi Guys,
i have a really big problem with my mac mini.
It won't turn on.
I don't think it can be the power brick as I can get the mini to start up by holding down the power button whilst plugging it in.
This is the incorrect SMC reset procedure and I get fans runnning top speed and no LED light.
When i startet with this method, everything works.
Ah ups i forgot:
I have all resets done!
NVRAM
SMC (and by reset switch)
New Battery
Bought a new power adapter
etc

Hi,
Witch power adapter you bought ?
I have the same problem i bought a 85w pwer adapter and my Mac mini don't work anymore and i replace it buy a 110w and it works fine .
Probably you are in the same case.
