macmini

Hello! I have an imac late 2013 that I would like to use as a monitor for the M1 mac mini. I have read so much conflicting advice as to whether this is possible, including downgrading my OS so i can use TDM etc. Is there anyone out there that can give me a real answer including what cables I...

I am using a M1 Mac mini 16GB/256GB with Sabrent Rocket XTRM 1TB external SSD as my main drive and copied my second working user to this drive. Everything works fine currently with all essential apps and system files writing to the main SSD. (Macintosh HD) However, when I use iStat menu...

I just moved and now need to set up TimeCapsule to backup my macmini again. I am using a new internet and new modem. TimeCapsule has connected to the modem. However, macmini couldn't find TimeCapsule in AirPort Utility. I am attaching the screenshot. Thanks for helping!

After waking up my M1 Mac Mini, the HDMI display which is set at 1440p scales incorrectly to 1080p. I have to manually change it every time or turn the display off and on again for it go back to 1440p. This only happens when waking after sleep. I use 2 monitors, the other is USB C to DP. This...

Hello to all M1 users, I have my Mac mini (16gb) for about a week now, and it is horrible. The Mac is connected to one 4K screen and one FHD screen. I am using Chrome, Safari, Zoom, Tidal and sometimes PyCharm and Xcode. If I start one or two Xcode simulators, my sound starts stuttering for...

I have an M1 Mac Mini and a SuperDrive. I want to save the videos from the DVD to my Mac. Do I need special software? I am using disk utility to make a disk image but I'm not sure if that works. I want to make a copy of the videos for later playback and keep them on my internal mac storage as...

My iphone 6S just died an hour ago. I'm hoping it'll come to life again but it clearly needs replacing, and my old Macbook Air 2014 that I use with a separate screen has a warning that the battery needs replacing and today it started sputtering. No Apple shops are open to replace the battery...

Hello All, As a long time user and big fan of the Apple Mac Mini systems, I was really excited to try the new Apple M1 Mac Mini. I received the new Mac a few days ago, so here is my initial impression. Existing System: 2018 i5 6-Core Mac Mini, 32GB RAM, 256GB SSD Storage, 1440p Monitor (I use...

Has anyone experienced this issue? First time seeing it since I received my Mac mini last Tuesday. The pink squares showed up after booting the computer and would only appear when opening a folder or doing a right click on the desktop. I then changed the wallpaper and they instantly disappeared.

Hi there, I was about to buy 2018 mac mini with i7 and 32gb ram but now things got complicated. How do you guys think i7 compares to new M1? Or vice versa ? In Apple sites they compare i3 to M1 and M1 is 3x faster than i3? So I can't tell how much better or worse this new chip is ? I'm total...

It seems like the first set of ARM macs will be MacBooks. With Apple saying the transition period will take around 2-3 years, when can we expect an ARM Mac Mini? They seem to have neglected it and it is due for an update having only 8th gen CPU atm. Only other current mac with 8th gen CPU is...

I tried to delete this post, but I can't.

Wake for network access is off. Power nap is off. Find my Mac is off. Still it wakes from sleep and turns on both monitors during the night multiple times. Is there any fix or terminal command to fix this? Thanks

Hey folks... This place has been so helpful to me in the recent past, so I am back again for some of that good Mac advice! I have the newest Mac mini and have a new Dell monitor coming soon. Pretty new model. It has one full size displayport input, and two HDMI inputs. I'd like to get the...

I’m wondering what benefits an eGPU might have for Lightroom and Photoshop use on my new 2020 Mac Mini i7. I have read that it can benefit some areas while others may not be supported. However, most articles date back over a year and I wonder if there have been improvements with the latest OS...

Looking for a display set-up for my MacMini (2018 build) to do room EQ with a suitable software installed on MacMini. In order to do my measurements with a microphone I need a display to work with the graphs generated. Will Luna Display on my iPad be good enough for this setting? Are there...

I have been postponing purchasing a macmini. The 2020 update is very disappointing. It shows a 'new' badge, but there is not much new about it. I would have expected a processor update with improved video performance (to properly drive multiple displays). I would have purchased a i7/64GB/1TB...

Hello, I'm thinking about getting a eGPU with my Mac Mini 2012. I have a Cinema Display attached to the thunderbolt slot. I've been searching the web and forums for how the setup could work along side what I have now but it's really confusing. Any help or insights are welcomed. TLDR - How will...

I have a Mac Mini (2014) i5 8Gb 1Tb HDD. It was running ok, until I upgraded to Mojave. Is there anyway to backtrack on an OS upgrade? I assume there is not :( I'm not too tech savvy, (although I have dismantled an old macbook and installed a hard drive where the DVD Rom drive was.) Looking into...

Hey guys first time posting on this forum ever in my life. Yesterday I upgraded my Mac mini drive to a Samsung 860 SSD but when I tested the drive speed it never reached max potential! I got around 200mb/s RW. I would like to mention that this SSD was previously installed on my Windows pc and...
