m1 mac mini

I have an M1 Mac Mini from which I need to move the contents as I am upgrading to an M2 Mac Studio. I was going to ask the forum the best way to do this (just double-checking that Apple's Migration Assistant was the best route), when I realised I've got a different issue. I have a 1TB SSD HD on...

I have had my beloved M1 Mac Mini since the spring of 2022. Rugged, dependable workhorse. I recently updated to MacOS Sonoma 14.1 from MacOS Ventura 13. Unfortunately, there was an immediate side-effect: AirDrop started acting up. This happened before, but not recently. Here's how it goes...

I have had my beloved M1 Mac Mini since the spring of 2022. Rugged, dependable workhorse. I recently updated to MacOS Sonoma 14.1 from MacOS Ventura 13. I will discover in each morning, since the update, that the M1 Mini has awakened from sleep without anyone doing anything. I happened to be...

I have an M1 Mac Mini connected to a 27" LG 4K monitor via HDMI. I usually have three other apps apart from Finder open at all times. These are: Mail, Firefox and Telegram messenger. They are always opened to the maximum window size when in use (not full screen mode). Every single time I wake...

I bought a factory-refurbished M1 Mac Mini from Apple a few months ago. I did not have the money to buy a new monitor to go with it, but I eventually plan to build up enough money to buy a new 27-inch or 32-inch 4K or 5K monitor for my Mini. For now, I am using a very old Acer AL1716W color...

I bought a refurbished M1 Mac Mini from Apple direct a few months ago. I had trouble upgrading to MacOS Venura; the MacOS updater did not get along well with my internet connection. So I used Jeff Benjamin's handy YouTube "How to create a macOS Ventura bootable USB installer" video and...

Hi All I wanted to get some help regarding USB A and C ports on the M1 Mac Mini To prevent users from stealing / exfiltering data via USB drives / Pen Drives, I would like to: a) Prevent any such mass storage devices from being able to connect to the M1 Mac Mini b) While allowing them to use...

I have a relatively new Canon Pixma G6020 printer that had been working fine, but for the past two days it has been mostly just spitting out blank pages without even attempting to print (the print heads don't move, and it doesn't take time trying to print, it just slides the page out). This...

A couple months ago, I bought a refurbished M1 Mac Mini direct from Apple for a steal of a deal. This machine is snappy! I am going to have to phase-in its use. The start, I'm using a 15-year-old Acer VGA-connected monitor for the video, thanks to an aftermarket Benfei VGA-to-USBC-C adaptor...

FAMILY SITUATION Some household members here are elderly, tech illiterate (USA) Some relatives living abroad (Europe) I have been using Macs since 1986. I have been tasked with looking into the use of Skype. Our familiy's landline phone is plagued with constant telemarketer/scam/robo calls; the...

Hello everyone! Days ago I started a thread to think which MacBook I should buy. I'm the middle of my PhD and I wanted to replace my 2013 MBA for a M1 MacBook. Nonetheless, the prices are high and I would have to buy even more docks and adapters because the newer models are basically port-less...

I’ve had this monitor for quite some time, but I’ve always used it via HDMI or DisplayPort, which meant running a separate cable to the host for the integrated USB3 hub. Now that I have an M1 Mac Mini, I figured it’s a good time to actually try using the thunderbolt capability — one cable for...

I'm starting to investigate work-from-home solutions so that I can stabilize my income while helping my elderly (and not-so-good health) parents. One on my immediate concerns is to phase-out my aging computer setup. (I'm currently on a late-2013 iMac) I want to buy a new Mac Mini to start, but...

Hello everyone, I have seen this YouTube video where they say that the M1 Mac Mini really slows down while driving the 5K Apple studio display (ASD). Is it true that the 16GB M1 Mac Mini feels sluggish when paired w/ ASD? Do any of you have this setup using ASD w/ M1 Mac Mini, and how's the...

My son has an M1 Mac mini and he noticed a few months ago that it would not load up his App Store or Apple Music. I tried logging him out of everything and back in, and that didn’t help. Full shutdown and boot up didn’t help. I did some research on what caches to clear to get everything to...

What if March 8: the High-End M1 Mac mini is is announced. ? Big if, and what will it cost? Lets try to predict! For example for the Apple M1 Pro 10‑core CPU, 16‑core GPU and 16‑core Neural Engine (10/16/16) 32 GB RAM 1TB SSD Using the 2021 14/16" MacBook Pro M1 Pro/Max as a guideline...

I am seeing a huge jump in the kernal_task's Bytes Written number after upgrading to 12.1 from 12.0.1. In the previous version, it used to be ~8GB/day but now it seems to be ~30GB/day with normal usage. Is anyone else facing this issue? On the other hand, the "Swap Used" has been fluctuating a...

Hi Been waiting almost 1 year to use my M1 Macbook Air with an external display. Currently have a couple of Dell U2415H monitors, and I realize non-4K monitors won't cut it, with Monterey, in terms of text sharpness. Hence decided to go for a 4K. So would appreciate if anyone using the Dell...

I am going to be buying a new mac mini if one is revealed in the event on Monday. I have spent all morning researching the world of ultra wide screen monitors and it seems to be a total minefield as there are so many factors to take into consideration with specs ips/va/tn, contrast ratios...

Hi everyone! Not sure if anyone will care but this is one of the only places I can think to post about it besides twitter! I've been on a passion project these last few weeks and I finished it the other night and wanted to share (because I'm absolutely geeking about it!) I decided to make my...
