Mac Mini :: How To Remove Cd With No Power
May 26, 2012
My mac mini will not eject the cd. I partitioned the drive in order to install windows (cuz portions of our system are not Mac compatible). When I inserted the windows CD and rebooted, the mini only boots to a prompt but will not accept any commands from any input devices (none, zip, zero, nada, zilch). I need to be able to remove the CD that is now stuck without the use of external devices or figure out how to get the machine to recognize a command (external keyboard inputs are not working or recognized).

Is it just mine or does this new mini power connector come out too easily? I have to be very careful removing the ethernet cable or FW800 cable lest the power connector slip out and cause a hard shutdown. It's a bit annoying.

I'm not sure what key function I hit by accident but everytime I use my keyboard my Mac repeats my keyboard action back to in one of those annoying computerized voices. Anyone know how I can turn this off/remove this function?

When I go to system preferences and then groups and users, it is showing that a guest user has set up a profile. I did not set this up. My computer won't let me erase this user.  The "minus" symbol at the bottom of the tab is highlighted grey and my mouse can't select it. Also, the box that says "let this user administer this computer is checked and it won't let me uncheck it. Weird. What do I do?

This is a Mac Mini operating on OS 10.58. I have a CD in the combo drive, and it apparently has something recorded on it. I think this CD had started to be burned and I stopped it. The computer indicates that this CD is not blank. The result is that it will not eject, even after several attempts using the small eject arrow at the top of the desktop, the use of apple-E, and after repeated efforts with a complete shutdown -- still the disk is stuck in the drive. I suspect that it's in a loop situation, where it tries to run the CD with not effect, but it also cannot eject it.Â
I notice a small black square, appearing to be black plastic, at the far right end of the CD/DVD player slot at the top of the Mac Mini. In the old days there was such a hole into which one could stick a straight wire, like a heavy duty straightened paper clip, and it would physically eject a stuck disk. Is there such a thing on this Mac Mini?Â

I had to reinstall my software on the mini now I put the re install software that it came with and I filled all the forms out including my password which never changes in all my mac's then I went and upgraded by the disc to OSX 10.5 Leopard. All ok I used the time machine from the Power PC G5 which I am writing this on now by the way too put all my programs and itunes on.
All seamed ok but it said on the start up screen Power Pc G5. And when I went to put in my password it went and done the side too side wobble no I know my password and it never changes and I tried caps lock on and off but no go I never use caps lock anyway but I thought perhaps that was the problem. So I cannot get in to the computer now. Is there a way to reset the password.

My mother just had her G4 Mac die on her. She bought it four years ago! She got the last MDD Power Mac G4 with dual 1.42 GHz PowerPC 7455 processors, running on OS 9!
Photoshop, Illustrator, Quark, Flash, Office, GoLive, InDesign, Image ready, Dreamweaver and so on, is the programs she use the most.
She has been quite satisfied thus far with the performance of the G4, until now(DEAD...)
She now considers getting an Mac Mini, with 2,0 Core 2 Duo Processor, 2 GB Ram running on Lepoard with a 160 GB Harddrive.
My question is - Is the Mac Mini powerful enough for the programs that she uses mostly(mentioned above)
Will the Mac Mini be more powerful or equal to the G4?
The Mini has a integrated Intel 950 GPU - Would it be enough to run does programs decently?
I know that the buyers guide suggests not purchasing a mini, but we are short on money, and she needs the computer to do her job as a web designer/art director!
An alternative would be to purchase a refurbed G4 similiar to the one she had before!
I dont know what to advice to her. When money is an factor, and considering that she has been happy with the G4 for the past for years, I just dont know...

was watching a video on top gear site and suddenly the mac mini light went off and now the unit will not power back up. the plug in where i put the adapter in has power because i plugged in a lamp and it works. i tried to unplug the unit and held down the power button and plugged in the unit and let go the power button and pressed it again right after letting go the button. still no power to the little light just below and to the right of the cd slot. would like to know if there is any thing else i can do. i have a fluke 87 meter and the output of the little brick is 18.54 volts dc. sincerely dickie from thibodaux, louisiana.

I am getting a message several times a day that my mac mini is running on UPS power. The power is fine though. It seems like maybe I just got a bad UPS, but is there anything I should look at before I exchange it?

Can the Mac mini with 4GB of RAM run VMFusion 2.02 with Windows XP Home properly without any problems? Is 2.0GHz fast enough, or even 2.26GHz fast enough for VMFusion? Does the Mac mini have enough horse power to run Windows XP?

My mother-in-laws Power PC Mac Mini stopped working the other day. After booting to disk utility and seeing that there wasn't a hard drive mounting I assumed the hard drive was dead. I ordered a replacement from OWC, opened the mini, and put in the new hard drive. Now I can't get the mini to boot from CD all I get is a blank gray screen and eventually the folder with a question mark icon. I was under the assumption I could boot to disc again, format and reinstall on the new hard drive. I also can't get the CD to eject but it is spinning up.

I have Mac Mini 1.5 solo that work very well for me and my son untill we updated the EFI 1.1 a week ago and never booted back up. I call apple and was told bad hardware maybe caused by update they send me to a Apple store to get it checked but there they said it was the power button not the flash. I had it plug in to the wall the hole time at home but when i took it there it booted as soon as he plug it in so he shut down and it did not boot, he unplug it for a few seconds plug it back no good with button but did boot a few second by itself. I replaced the button my self for a few hunder less then what Apple Was asking for (160.00 less). Still not luck. I feel i got screwed by Apple on this. Has anyone seen this and how it fix.

I am having lockup issues with my new Mini. I changed the RAM to 3gb and a SSD. boots fine but completely locks up after a period of use. Only way to cure it is to force reboot via power button. Anyone here has the same issue or know what I should do?

The only gripe so far with my 2011 Mac Mini is the power button on the BACK of the computer. Really? Everything else I can turn on while sitting in my chair, but I have to get up and reach around the mini to turn it on. I guess I'll have to get an under desk mount and put it close to the front of the desk so I can reach it. Â
Was Apple worried LaCie was going to sue them over design issues if they had a single power button on the front?

I am looking to get another mac to do some basic video editing and encoding. All the editing is going to be done in the mpeg4 format and once the video has been edited I am going to encode the video into H.264. My question is which will be better A Power Mac Dual 1.8Ghz G5 or a Mac Mini Core 2 Duo?
I am looking for stable set up that can handle encoding video for a few hours at a time. I am leaning towards the Power Mac Dual G5 because of how much more cooling it has however that said a Mac Mini with a Core 2 Duo running at 1.66 Ghz would also probabley work well.
