Using 802.11ac USB adapter on Mid 2010 Mac Mini Server

I recently read an article about the 802.11ac connection and it mentioned if you use a USB adapter on a USB 2.0 connection you will lose much of the intended speed. Does anyone know if there is a way around this, like a FireWire USB adapter or is it possible to install a USB 3.0 port on my Mac Mini?
I looked at my PHY Link Speed in the Network Utility and it matches the 802.11 Adapter specifications of 867 Mbit/s.

  • Install Windows 7 on a Mid 2010 Mac mini using USB or SD media?

    Is is possible to install Windows 7 on a Mid 2010 Mac mini using USB or SD media?  I have not figured this out.  Here's what I have observed:
    I can install OS X Lion using USB or SD media. Both are detected in the boot menu, and will boot.
    An SD card with Windows 7 installation files formatted MBR/FAT32 using diskpart appears (with an SD card icon) in the boot menu but when selected as a boot device, the boot fails and the existing OS X instance on the Macintosh HD starts.  A USB stick formatted as described does not appear in th boot menu at all.
    An SD card or a USB stick formatted as described will boot on a Mid 2011 MacBook Air, and can be used to install Windows 7.
    Is this due to EFI differences between a Mid 2010 Mac mini and a Mid 2011 MacBook Air?
    Thanks.

    The Mac Mini Mid 2010 has a DVD player built in, you can startup and install from a Windows 7 DVD. The Mac Mini Mid 2011 does not have a DVD player built in. I am happy that in new computers I can make use of an USB-stick to install Windows 7. Windows 7 uses MBR and Mac OS X uses EFI and that is why it was not possible on a Mac Mini Mid 2010. I think the EFI on a Mac Mini Mid 2011 is different.
    I should like a firmware update on my Mac Mini Mid 2010 if possible. In that case I could choose between DVD or USB stick if I want to install Windows 7.
    I also have a FireWire CF Card Reader. I think it is not possible to install Windows 7 via FireWire too.
    I do have an external USB HD with 2 partitions: Mac OS X 10.6.8 and Windows 7, but is is not possible to start up Windows 7 from the external HD.  It is possible to start up Mac OS X 10.6.8 from the external HD on a Mac Mini Mid 2010.

  • Mid-2010 Mac Mini, dead optical drive: Are any slim Firewire DVD burners compatible?

    The optical drive on my Mac Mini seems to have died prematurely, as the OEM drives are known to do. Estimated cost of replacing the internal component: $170. And it would be the exact same model Apple optical drive, not a more robust one.
    Now very reluctantly thinking of adding yet another peripheral. USB ports are pretty well filled but I don't use the Firewire port for anything.
    Trouble is, since Apple discontinued Firewire, the manufacturers of Mac-compatible optical drives aren't making Firewire models any more.
    There are a few recent Firewire DVD burners from PC peripheral manufacturers, such as Acer, Aopen, Dell, Pioneer, Sony (Amazon reviews say it's restricted to burning Sony media) in a small "slim" form factor.
    Anyone have information about their compatibility with Firewire 800 on mid-2010 Mac mini, Mac OS 10.10.1 Yosemite?

    There are some steps involved which may translate to tedium,
    as noted in the repair guide for the Mid 2010 Mini from iFixit.
    •Mac Mini - Mid 2010 Repair Guide - iFixit:
    https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Mac_Mini_Mid_2010
    At about Step 25, of an overall rated Difficult process, you can
    see the Optical Drive, and likely be at a point to install replace-
    ment, then reverse the process; paying heed to advice given.

    https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Mac+mini+Model+A1347+Optical+Drive+Replacement/3167
    At least you can get into this computer. Be sure to have a spare
    optical drive cable and other possible items that may get broken
    in the process. Oh there also is a PRAM battery in this computer
    that may or may not need replacement while it is open...
    If at one point, if several parts were to be replaced at one time, a
    visit to a service technician becomes very cost effective. Find one
    that will install the parts you may get from third-party sources. If
    you know someone at a college computer lab, they may be able
    to perform the swap, test their work, and be done, in short order.
    Or, chose to use an external inexpensive 'superdrive' equivalent.
    I'd heard the LG brand was among some that work, and can also
    be used to boot the computer from System DVD or utility discs...
    It is a USB drive, can burn DVD/CD media, and is not costly.
    The ability to swap out the defective optical drive, and replace it
    with an SSD or second storage drive, may be a way to go; but
    it also would be at least as tedious as optical drive replacement.
    This may add value to the device, in a resale situation later.
    That would use the 'drive doubler' idea referred to at macsales.
    In the above main guide, is a primer on how to swap out the optical
    drive and replace it with a second hard disk drive or solid state drive.
    Similar to what the OWC site says, but they have a good kit, too.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Help: Install Snow Leopard Server 10.6.0 on Mid-2010 Mac Mini, then update?

    I just purchased a Mid-2010 Mac Mini with Snow Leopard Client 10.6.3 (the new ones just released) with the idea of installing my copy of Snow Leopard Client on it and using it as both a network server and media server.
    I own Snow Leopard Server 10.6.0 (the initial DVD release) and was thinking I could do a fresh install and update to 10.6.4 on the Mini without problem, but that didn't work. I also tried doing a Target Disk Install to the Mini using my MacbookPro, but the installer choked at the Machine Checksum saying MBPs weren't supported to run the installer.
    So, that blows both of my previously known installation options. I was wondering if anyone else with the new Mini and Snow Leopard Server had any suggestions on how to get my current version of Snow Leopard Server (10.6.0) installed on the Mini and then run system updates to get it to boot properly.
    Thanks

    Hi GrainFocuser;
    Your copy of SL Server version is probably too old to install on the new Mac Mini. It probably doesn't have all of the correct drivers for the newer hardware.
    You might have better success with your alternatives if you post over on the server forum instead of here.

    Allan, thanks.
    It is pretty clear that my installation disk is too old, hence looking for options and suggestions.
    In years past with previous versions of Server, there was a way to install an outdated install disk (a point release or 3 behind) and then run the necessary installation updates...either through target disk mode or on to a separate boot disc.
    So, with my 10.6.0 Server Install disc, I am not able to do so in either scenario because a) My other admin machine is a MB Pro and the installer performs a hardware checksome preventing install...so no Target Disk Mode, and B) Install on other disc from mini, again Hardware checksome since hardware not recognized.
    I am looking at options to enable an install with my disk short of having to physically walk into Apple (a huge trek) and get a new install disk or ask Apple Support to mail one.
    So, again... Any options from OS X Server Admins out there?

  • Upgrade a mid 2010 Mac Mini or buy a new one?

    I have a mid 2010 Mac Mini with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2 GB SDRAM DDR3, and a 320 GB HDD. I use it primarily as a way to watch movies, TV, and internet videos on my TV. However, lately it has become excruciatingly slow with choppy video playback. I realize upgrading the RAM and/or the HDD to a SSD would offer an improvement. But my question is, would it be better to upgrade a computer that's getting close to 5 years old now, or buy a new Mac Mini, despite the complaints I've heard about the inability to upgrade RAM and/or hard drive.
    Thanks

    For your use going to the max of 8 GB of memory and an SSD will be fine.

  • Audio issues on Mid-2010 Mac mini upgraded to Lion

    I'm using a Mid-2010 Mac mini that came with Snow Leopard but I recently upgraded it to Lion. Every app works pretty well except for audio playback. Whenever I play a game or play a movie, audio stutters every 8 to 10 seconds for like a sec and it comes back in. Video keeps playing fine. It's pretty annoying since I can't properly play games or watch movies anymore. The rest of my apps are working very well except for Boxer which seems to have taken a performance hit.
    Currently, the hardware hasn't been upgraded in any other way - meaning it still has the original 2 GB RAM memory. It's connected to my HDTV via HDMI. It didn't manifest this issue until the upgrade to Lion.
    I've tried closing every app but it doesn't seem to help. Hope you can help me out. Thanks!!

  • Replace mid 2010 mac mini hard drive(s) and thermal sensor(s)

    TL;DR: How do I swap SSd for HDD in Mid 2010 Mac Mini without Fan problems.
    I'd like to replace both my Mac Mini HDD's with SSD's, but removing/repositioning* the factory thermal sensors will default the fan to full throttle! (I've had this happen on my other mid 2010 test machine). Has anyone successfully swapped out their drives and not had to deal with a system fan on Afterburner mode?
    Note: on my test mac mini, I tried SMC fan control as well as SSD Fan Control apps and neither is able to change the fan RPM.
    SMC Fan control (this is what I use on my macbook)

    SSD Fan Control: (suggested by others with similar thermal sensor/fan problems)
    http://exirion.net/ssdfanctrl
    * the position of the thermal sensors on the factory hitachi's is apparently important. In a test, I moved one a few millimeters and the fans defaulted to full speed.
    Cheers!
    Ken

    I replace the HD on my 2009 Mini with no fan problems.
    From your description I think yo have either a sensor or logic board problem. If the sensor was not attached to the HD and was "cold" then the fan speed would not increase if the HD got hot.
    When you played around with sensor position what what the temperature  of the sensor when you go the "right" fan speed and the runaway speed.

  • Airdrop - Mid 2010 Mac Mini - Upgraded to OS X Yosemite

    I upgraded my Mid 2010 Mac Mini to Yosemite yesterday and thought I'd try using Airdrop to send a file to my almost brand new IPad with OS 8. Airdrop is listed in Finder on my Mac Mini but when I open it it doesn't find my iPad but the screen states "Airdrop let's you share instantly with people nearby. To share with someone using a Mac, ask them to go to Airdrop in the Finder".  If alternatively I right click on a document in Finder and select 'share' the Airdrop option is there but greyed out and if I click on Airdrop a message appears stating "To share with someone using a Mac, ask them to go to Airdrop in the Finder" - no mention of what to do if you want to share with an iPad. I have Bluetooth and Wi-Fi switched on on both devices and have the Airdrop status set to Everyone on the iPad.  On the Mac Mini in settings - extensions - share menu, the Airdrop box is white with black tick whereas other tick boxes are blue with a white tick. Does all this mean that my Mac Mini even with Yosemite can't operate Airdrop at all or maybe only with another Mac (maybe it's too old)? Or maybe I'm missing something?

  • No QE/CI on Mid 2010 Mac Mini

    I recently purchased a Mid 2010 Mac Mini and have it connected to a 32" Insignia NS-L32X 1080p television via HDMI. I've upgraded it to Lion and noticed that QE/CI are not enabled. In fact they aren't listed at all under Graphics/Displays in System Information. Unfortunately I didn't check the setting before the upgrade so I don't know if they were enabled under Snow Leopard. Has anyone else experienced this?

    OK, I've got my Firewire connection working again! Yay!
    It turns out that I'm an idiot. A smaller man would not own up to his stupidity, but I'm not that guy.
    Here's how I solved my problem.
    I did a Google search on "mac min 2010 owners manual". I found the PDF file for the manual and started looking through it:
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Mac_mini_Mid2010_User_Guide.pdf
    On page 11, there is a drawing of the *BACK* of the Mac Mini. This is important because I had been plugging in the cables blindly, while facing the *FRONT* of the box. :facepalm:
    Turns out that I was jamming the Firewire plug into the Ethernet port! The port is big enough to accomodate the male end of the Firewire plug, and it seemed to fit snugly.
    Once I saw the drawing in the manual, I realized what was up. I spun the Mac Mini around, turned the Firewire plug sideways, and inserted it where it belongs: right between the Ethernet and HDMI ports! Voila! Everything worked as expected.
    I wish there were a lesson in here somewhere, other than the fact that I am an idiot. "But when in doubt, try asking yourself: 'Did I plug everything in the right way?'"
    :facepalm:

  • 2010 Mac mini server remote install OS X failure

    I tested re-installing OS X remotely to my 2010 Mac mini server. It worked the first time. I got to the installation process, and abandoned it without actually doing anything.
    But when I tried again, it failed, and I have not been able to get it to work ever since. I went to a local Apple shop and tested at its Genius bar. People there cannot figure out the problem. They exchanged my unit for a new one.
    I took the new unit home, tried, and it failed again. Then I called Apple Care. They cannot pin-point the problem, but suspected that, since I failed with two units, the problem may be with the computer that has the DVD. I am not sure about his. Here I post my story for help. The details:
    1. The OS X Server installation DVD (which came with the mini) was put in a 13" 2009 Macbook Pro. There I ran the Remote Install OS X application. Selected the Installation DVD.
    2. Then I started the Mac mini server, holding the down Opt key. The Installation DVD appeared from my local network. However when I selected the DVD and clicked the arrow sign under it, things went wrong. A circle with a line segment appeared briefly (indicating a problem, I think). Then the mini simply went to boot from its own hard drive where the original OS X was.
    Help and suggestions are very much appreciated.
    Additional information:
    Remote Disc works fine. From my Mac mini, after booting into the original OS, I can see and open DVDs in the Macbook Pro.

    Target disk mode method works fine. I can boot my mac mini from its installation DVD placed in my macbook pro, connected to the mini through firewire. So I don't think there is any hardware problem.
    I played with a few other things. First I used another DVD, this time the one that came with my 2009 macbook pro, a non-server version OS X. When I tried to remote install it to my mini, the mini can still see the DVD but it hung after I chose to boot from it. It just showed a big circle with a line segment. It did not revert to boot the OS on its own hard drive.
    Next I again ran remote install on macbook, but booted the mini to its own hard drive. From there
    I changed its start up disk to Network Startup, and rebooted. The mini can find nothing on the local network.

  • Will a 802.11ac USB adapter work on IdeaPad U530?

    I recently purchased an IdeaPad U530.  Around the same time, I purchased a NetGear Nighthawk AC 1900 Dual Ban (R7000) router.  All of my other devices connect no problem to the 5ghz wifi network from the router.  I realized the 5ghz band didn't show up on my U530, but the 2.4 ghz network appears.  
    I did some investigation and found my new Lenovo laptop has a 7260 b/g/n card.  I thought, "That will be a simple fix, I will just replace it with an AC card."  Then I read:
    http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/IdeaPad-Y-U-V-Z-and-P-series/IdeaPad-u530-upgrade-to-802-11ac/td-p/13106...
       and
    https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/General-Discussion/WWAN-and-wireless-card-BIOS-whitelists-Lenovo-COME-O...
    That was when I "unhappily" learned about Lenovo's "whitelists" for the first time.  I'm shocked that in 2014 I simply can't replace the wifi card in a laptop.  Had I learned about this sooner, the Lenovo would have gone back to BestBuy on principle.
    I'm a basic user and I don't have the technical skill or time to deal with flashing BIOS, etc. . . so I have three questions.
    1.  Will the Lenovo U530 allow me to use one of the 802.11ac USB adapters?
    2.  Any recommendations on which USB adapter to use?
    3.  Do I have to deactivate the Intel 7260 card before using the USB adapter?  If so, how do I do that?
    Thanks!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    1.  Will the Lenovo U530 allow me to use one of the 802.11ac USB adapters?
    IMHO why not? I use a usb dual wifi adapter myself although it's only a,b,g,n. It is more efficient than the built-in card.
    2.  Any recommendations on which USB adapter to use?
    Try going to Netgear's site and look for an AC dual band usb adapter to match your Netgear AC router.
    3.  Do I have to deactivate the Intel 7260 card before using the USB adapter?  If so, how do I do that?
    To avoid getting the system confused and make the setup of the usb adapter easier I think you can disable wifi in the bios. You will still have bluetooth functioning.

  • 10.7.3 USB Lockup on mid-2010 Mac Pro

    Hello,
    I updated my mid-2010 Mac Pro to update 10.7.3 this morning. Since then, I have had three occasions today, each one worse than the previous, where all USB devices connected just locked up completely and were totally unresponsive.
    This includes my keyboard, mouse, and video camera.  Those are the only devices that are connected to this computer.
    One at a time I have tried disconnecting and reconnecting each device with no success.  Interestingly on a couple of occasions, my keyboard would stop working but the mouse daisy chained out of the keyboard worked without any issues.
    The most recent incident absolutely everything locked up and the only option I had was to do a hard reset of the computer.  When I logged back in I quickly enabled the Bluetooth support and grabbed my wireless keyboard and mouse so that I can work.
    Has anyone else encountered this yet?  I know there aren't that many Mac Pro users any more.
    In the meantime, Time Machine is performing a full backup and I think I will downgrade back to 10.7.2.
    I wish I could go back to 10.6.8 but since this Mac Pro shipped with 10.7.2, it will not accept an earlier version of OS X.  :-(

    Wow, Same issue here on my Early 2008 Mac Pro. After 10.7.3 update, my USB ports have been behaving erratically. The problem actually seems to be getting progressively worse too.
    From what Ive gathered so fat, it seems almost as if the ports are now underpowered. Plugging a keyboard directly into the USB port seems to work indefinitely. As soon as I add other devices to same port, the new device won't work.
    My first assumption was that my USB hub was shot, but then I tried the ports on the back of my Cinema Display and they were all jacked up too.
    I tried plugging another keyboard directly into the front USB port but That didn't work either, as it seems there was no power for it due to the other devices plugged into the back. I unplugged everything but the front keyboard and it still didn't work until I restarted it.
    Extremely hard to troubleshoot how this issue is behaving. Like I said, erratic is probably best description.
    This is the worst bug I've personally experienced after an update to an OS since I've been using Macs on System 7.
    I really hope Apple fixes this ASAP.

  • USB Ethernet Adapter Stopped Working On Mac Mini Server Running 10.6.6

    Is anybody out there successfully using the Apple USB Ethernet adapter on a Mac Mini Server running 10.6.6? They have stopped working for me.
    The boot disk in the 2009 Mac Mini Server in my classroom failed and after Apple replaced the disk and I reinstalled SLS and ran Software Update to bring the machine up to 10.6.6 the USB Ethernet adapter that was the interface to the outside world no longer recognized when a cable was plugged in. The cable was good and worked just fine if plugged into another machine or the built-in interface. At first I thought that the USB Interface had failed but after trying two new ones (graciously exchanged by Apple) and finding that none of them worked I'm coming to the conclusion that perhaps the warning on the package that the USB Ethernet only works with the MacBook Air finally became true.

    Only the specific build of Mac OS X that comes with a MacBook Air includes the kernel extension to run the Apple USB Ethernet adapter, however there are no hardware issues preventing it being used on other Mac models if you have a suitable driver.
    Generic USB drivers can be downloaded for free from http://www.sustworks.com/site/newsusbethernet.html and this worked for me.

  • Mid 2010 Mac Mini Hard Drive and Ram "Repost"

    As there is no way to EDIT my previous post, here it is with a more descriptive subject line, sorry to all.
    When I purchased my new Mini the store information tag showed the hard drive as a 7200 rpm, that is one of the main reasons why I bought it. So, I unknowingly (Till today) have a 5400 rpm Mini and as of now, I'm a bit underwhelmed with the performance and wondered if a ram upgrade will give me that much more speed and performance. I have both the original Mac dual 1ghz and a dual 2ghz models, both seem faster than my new Mac. As before, I'm a little disappointed with this model, any thoughts appreciated

    Mid 2010 unibody Mini with 2gb ram Mac OS X (10.6.4)

    I boot from a Firewire 800 external hard drive. Others will tell you whether this is actually faster or not, all I know is that I'm not the first to do this, and it works well for me.
    I'd also add that sure, more RAM would always be good.
