Mac Mini in Trouble
Help!!! My new Mac Mini seems to be totally messed up. When I try to boot, I hear nothing. Absolutely nothing. Then, after executing a PROPTIONCOMMAND while pressing the power button to reboot, the start-up chord plays -- again, again, again and again. Can anybody offer any suggestions (other than taking my Mac in for repair). At this point, my plan is to get it in to an Apple Hospital to get well, but if I can avoid that I would certainly would prefer that. - Bill Leader Dog Holland - Clothes make the man.

Hi! Weird. You could go into the recovery mode and try to repair disk and disk permissions. /A 22 feb 2015 kl. 15:31 skrev Bill Gallik wfgal...@charter.net: Help!!!

Re: Mac Mini in Trouble
Hi, 1. Have you used it before or is it brand new out of the box? 2. That key combination is unnecessary at this point and possibly flawed. 3. As mentioned, if it is brand new out of the box, then first, unplug it, leave it unplugged for about 30 seconds, plug it back in, wait about 10 seconds, then plug it back in. Wait another 10 seconds then hit the power button to turn it on. Wait 30 seconds to a minute, then press cmd-f5 to turn on VoiceOver and follow the setup prompts. 4. If you have used it before and this is a new issue, what kind of keyboard are you using? Any other devices connected? Later...
