OS X Yosemite :: Mac Mini 2014 Short Freezes
Dec 5, 2014
Recently I purchased a brand new Mac Mini 2014 and sometimes I have this weird issue. Sometimes my mac has short freezes, i can't move cursor or type anything. when I reboot my issue is solved but I find it quite annoying that this is happening.
I googled this issue but didn't really find anything simular to my issue. It's like it running something very huge to process because if i move my mouse during the freeze it does move my mouse after the freeze.I monitored my memory but I haven't noticed anything strange (is it normal I only have 5-10% of my 8GB RAM left?)Â

I have a Macbook pro 13' (2013) which had the OS X Mavericks. About to days ago I upgraded to OS X Yosemite, it worked well for one day. Then, the mouse in the screen is always downloading and I cant turn off my computer unless I do it with the power button. My screen is black and almost evrytime with the mouse  downloading (rainbow circle).

Before two weeks I have done a clean install of OS Yosemite in my MBP retina.Â
But unfortunately I have noticed some bugs such as:Â
- When I press Shut down the dock stays the half freezed, not completely disappeared and then the system shut down.
- Its a grey screen when I switch on from sleep
- It has completely freezed 3 times and restarts itself
- The wifi signal has been lost 2 times, in my home using my router wlan.
- The continuity doesn't work with my iPhone 6+.
- I don't know but I think that Mavericks were faster..Â
I have done PRAM and SMC reset but nothing.Â

I have waited quite some time until a first update to Yosemite was available.
I have installed Yosemite on both my IMAC and my MBP.Â
Since then, both computers behave similarly.
Even when no actions are performed, the memory fills up hour after hour, this takes a few hours.
Eventually the memory is so full that any operation takes 10 mn to complete, and it becomes impossible to perform any work.
In practice it is best to restart the computers every 4 hours.Â
The problem tasks are:
- Folder Actions Dispatcher
- and to a lower extend "kernel_task".Â

I just updated my Mac to Yosemite. I did a fresh install (erased disk and then restore documents and data with Time Machine) and installed all updates. Everything is working flawlessly except Mail. I can't make it run. Every time I opened it said that will import the mails, and a window appears and start the process. Yet, it does not go beyond there. I even leave my Mac for a whole night, and never went any further from the screen "preparing to import messages".Â

I can search fine with Spotlight but when I click the result the spotlight freezes - right in the middle of the screen..If I click a text file it does not open the text file after unfreezing..So basically spotlight is completely useless.

I changed my Mac to log in with my iCloud password, which I also recently changed. This is when things went... crazy.Â
• Upon reboot, my Keychain password will not work. No password I give Keychain will work.Â
• Safari just sits there with the beachball. Force-quit shows Safari as "Not Responding."Â
• Launchpad will not accept keyboard inputÂ
I've repaired the drive and preferences. No change.
For what it's worth, another account on the same machine does NOT exhibit these issues.Â

I just bought the latest and greatest 15 inch Macbook Pro with Retina Display in mid-2014. Every once in awhile, my screen will go dark. When I hit the touch pad, the cursor will show up and will move, on a completely black background. At that point I panic and start depressing the touch pad, when that doesn't work, I try depressing the on/off key; which does not respond at first, but finally the screen returns to normal.? NOTE: My operating system is OSX 10.9.4.

I have a Mac Pro 2014 with two thunderbolt displays and an apple USB keyboard. Whenever I boot up the computer the keyboard doesn't seem to work at first. Often I get hung up on the log-in screen pushing keys to no effect until the bluetooth keyboard dialog comes up. Then after that sits fruitlessly looking for a non-existent keyboard for about 30sec the USB keyboard will start to work. In total I'd say this delays logging in by about a minute. During this whole time the USB mouse and Wacom tablet work. After logging in everything works fine.Â
Also this might be related, if the computer goes to sleep it can take several attempts to wake it up before I'll get a login screen.

I bought a new mac mini in july. The second day I installed a genuine copy of vista 32 bit. To switch to vista I hold down the alt option key when the mac is starting up. In a few seconds a gray screen will show up with two options: Mac and Windows. Now about 5 separate times, the mac froze at this screen after I selected one of the two, usually or all the time I believe I selected windows. I waited but in the end I was forced to force shut down the mac.
Just recently I got rid of vista and installed Windows 7 ultimate 64bit and it just did it again at that screen.
Why is it doing this and is this really bad for my mac, I had no other choice.

I've got a brand new macbook pro 13inch and recently purchased two of the mini display port adapters to dvi.Â
Figured I would setup both my external monitors 1920x1080 and have 2 + 1 monitors for working. Â
Only once was I able to plug both of the monitors in and have them work. Every other time (100s) the laptop crashes. Â
I'm able to run one external monitor at a time, but not both.Â

I purchased a MacBook a couple of days ago and it has been fine. However, today I've realised that the back of it at the bottom is getting really hot, even when the charger is not plugged in. I am not using powerful apps either.Sometimes it can almost be too hot to touch for more than a couple of seconds. This happens on any surface, whether it's on my wooden desk or not.
The back getting hot also heats up the rest of the Mac to some extent. does it need seeing to and if so will I be charged?

Often when my mac mini wakes up from sleeping I can move the mouse cursor for a few seconds, but then I get the pinwheel/beachball of death and my mac will freeze for about 5 minutes. I've had this issue for at least the last 6 months. I have the latest version of Lion 10.7, my mini is less than a year old.

So, I'm very happy with my New Macbook Pro 13" Late 2014.
But I've noticed that the bottom of the Macbook Pro gets quite hot when I charge it while still using it. (Noticed it while watching streams.)
It usually sits on my lap and I'm making sure the gaps on the bottom sides are free to keep the airflow going.
When I use it normally: not watching streams, not charging. The Macbook just gets a bit warm while sitting on my lap

My intel mini (2008, I think) won't boot. I ran Disk Utility and then Disk Warrior from my Macbook Pro, then I tried single-user mode. Everything came back "OK" but it still won't boot. It gets to the Apple logo with the spinning gear, spins 1-2 times, then freezes. It just sits, frozen, until I hold the power button and force it to turn off.

After installing the latest version of Photoshop 2014 on my late 2013 Mac Pro my images are showing horizontal banding when editing a layer mask. Adobe said this is the fault of the GPU (Mine: two AMD FirePro D500) and that I should post it here, for Apple to read.

Since a few days ago, I've noticed my late-2012 Mac Mini would wake up almost immediately after it goes to sleep. This is the same whether I let the Mac idle to the present sleep time, or if I manually tell the computer to sleep via the Apple menu. In both cases, the Mac would power back up immediately after it went to sleep.Â
I've pretty much ruled out any external devices or drives, and have confirmed that if I disable "Wake for network access" then the problem goes away. However, unchecking that feature won't work because I have Teamviewer and Screen Sharing running and I need to be able to wake it on demand for remote access.Â
I pulled up the power management log and found that everything was working fine until all of a sudden on Dec. 1, I started getting these errors:Â
Dec 1 23:20:39 Familys-Mac-mini kernel[0] <Notice>: AppleBCM5701Ethernet [en0]: Wake reason: Enet.LinkDown - Lost linkDec 1 23:46:37 Familys-Mac-mini kernel[0] <Notice>: Wake reason: GIGE (Network)Dec 1 23:46:37 Familys-Mac-mini kernel[0] <Notice>: AppleBCM5701Ethernet [en0]: Wake reason: Enet.LinkDown -
if I disable "Wake for network access" then the problem goes away. However, unchecking that feature won't work me because I have Teamviewer and Screen Sharing running and I need to be able to wake it on demand for remote access.how to troubleshoot the reason for my Mac to wake up right after putting it to sleep?

Mac mini 2011 doesn't want to wake up by clicking on the magic mouse. Sometimes I need to click for over 30 secs before it wakes up.
In Mavericks, the wake up process was instantaneous.

I am unable to change "Energy Saver" settings in System Settings using Yosemite 10.10.1. In particular, I want to uncheck the "Put Hard Disks to Sleep" option.Â
I can click on the option and then click close. But when I go back into "Energy Saver" the checkbox is ticked again.Â
I have tried both an SMC and PRAM reset and the problem persists.Â

Computer: Mac Mini, 2009 or so, 160 GB HD (about 50 available), Yosemite.
Issue: Set up a separate user and trying to import information from a Mac Book that is having issues. Mac Book was backed up to an external HD via Time Machine
Question: Is it possible to use time machine to transfer some of the information (photos, music, files) from the external hard drive to the Mac Mini? Is it possible to extract the information from the hard drive by connecting it to the Mac Mini without using Time Machine?
