[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1918124, member: 56379"] Could be a bad hard drive...or maybe the macOS is bad on it (corrupted or missing files). Since this is a "new to you" 2009 Mac-Mini...I'd recommend completely wiping ir & reinstalling a fresh copy of the macOS. This was 100% guaranteed a smooth running Mac-Mini (no previous owners junk on it. But...if the Mac-Mini has a bad hard drive...got to take care of this first. You could test with an external drive with the macOS installed on it (boot the Mini from the external drive). I understand this may not be easy being new to Apple computers. Nick [/QUOTE]
