mac mini

Hello, I’m trying to decide if I should get a mac mini or another SFF Computer. I love the MM (or I wouldn’t be asking this question) I love the MM form factor, power and efficiency, ports, etc. But my two concerns are. 1) with soldered storage, what do we think the lifespan of that...

So I got a Mac Mini from Goodwill. The last person didn't erase anything so I bought a Snow Leopard OEM DVD and did a fresh install. Before I did a fresh install, the app store and secure websites weren't loading. After the fresh install, still not loading. I've turned off the IPv6 and done a...

I just purchased a Mac mini M2 and thought of buying the LG27UP850N, then in reading the forums posted here, I started leaning toward the LG24MD4KLB. I see now that the latter is discontinued. I found it on line but wondered which or possibly another is the better choice. Thanks, first time posting

Currently have an ancient 2013 iMac with 16/256(SSD), and it has been hanging along fine with OCLP for my mobile development needs. I consciously do not run a lot of the heavy applications like Android studio/emulator together with XCode/Simulator and VirtualBox VM. So for my next machine I'm...

Im wondering what should i get because the two are solid options. I plan on doing light gaming on the mac and i think the macbook air is small but i love the portability and design what should i get?

Hello everyone! Need some help as Im having some trouble with my M1 Mac mini. Recently It started acting up. The sound bar is continuously raising the volume up to the maximum on its own. Even after I decrease the volume/sound it immediately goes up again. It's like I have no control over the...

Hi everyone….. We are considering purchasing a new Mac Mini to replace our 2013 27 inch iMac but we are not sure which Mac Mini model would be right for us. A Mac Mini M2 512 hard drive with 8gb of memory or a Mac Mini M2 Pro with 16gb of memory. We aren’t big power users but we love photography...

I was thinking of trading in a mid-2018 512gb/16gb MacBook Pro towards a base M2 Mac mini. With the education discount bringing the purchase to $64 and then the $100 gift card, I was thinking it would be a good deal. However, I have seen the posts regarding swap memory or slow storage with the...

So I have a Mac mini (M1, 2020 model). I've been using an older 27 inch Thumbbolt display with an adaptor and the display gives me (2560 × 1440). I wanted to extend my ports so I bought a Saetechi hub and connected it. The hub does not add an extra Thunderbolt port but simply moves it to the...

I'm writing this to all the poor souls out there that bought the Mac Mini M1 with the 10 GB adapter option: Your Mac is probably not working at the correct network speed, and this is a hardware problem. It's not software (I think), as I have installed every possible patch, new macOS Ventura...

Hi there, so I know there’s a lot of threads already about upgrading to a Mac mini. However I’m trying to figure out the storage situation of buying an entry level max mini and then wondering if I should get another external for Time Machine. I’m still using a 2010 27” iMac and I had upgrading...

Apologies for what's probably going to be a loaded question. I ended up with a new M2 base Mac mini and after thinking about giving it to a friend/family member or selling it, I'm leaning towards neither option because it doesn't make sense with the formers' current setups, and the resale vale...

Hello, I am a computer science student. I want to buy a mac to learn ios development(I already know android) and do college tasks. I will run the apps on a physical device, not an emulator, with a couple of tabs open (not many). Will a macbook air m1 with 8gb/256gb suffice? I can't afford buying...

If I purchase the top of the line newest version of the Mac Mini can I hook it up to my 2013 27 inch iMac and use that monitor instead of buying a new monitor right now? Will my programs run slower if I can?

I have a 2013 27 inch iMac and it has gotten so slow as I upgrade to new Mac OS operating systems. I need to buy a new desktop computer very soon but I’m getting tired waiting around for the new iMacs to be released. Now they say they may be released in November! It’s only been over 800 days...

[Mods: If you want to move this from Early Intel Macs over to Site & Forum Feedback, post a reply to this thread with, maybe, a few days’ advance notice. Cheers!] Confession time: For the last few months, I’ve been dropping in on other, model-specific forums to check whether there are any new...

I want to buy a Mac Mini M2 but I'm not sure if I should buy the Magic Keyboard with Touch ID. Will I have the option to enable Touch ID when setting up my Mac mini? The main reason I want to buy it is so I can have a faster way to log in to my user account. And make purchases without have to...

When my new 2023 mac mini m2 (32g / 1TB / latest update) wakes from sleep - if i put it in manually, or it does so automatically - it starts to make the the "bonk" alert incessantly like a machine gun, as if a key is being held down (which it is not). Also the mouse only right clicks. This...

Hello, Is Mac Mini 2018 compatible with DisplayPort 1.4 using USB-C to DP1.4 cable? Right now, I'm using a USB-C to DP1.2 cable and it works without any problem at 1440p@120Hz 10-bit. But I'd like to test if I could get 1440p@144Hz 10-bit with newer USB-C to DP1.4 cables or if the computer's...

Hello, First of all, sorry for my English... I am looking for help about my problem and after many searches on internet I haven't found a solution. Since 2 month I have a Mac mini M2 Pro that is connected to a LG Ultrafine 23.7" 4K. My keyboard is a Logi MX Keys for Mac. Everything was...
