[QUOTE="jhov22, post: 1776394, member: 396707"] Hello All- I have a late 2012 Mac mini that I just started having some issues with. I woke up and it was running terribly slow, restarted and it would not boot. I ran disk utility, everything seemed fine, it booted in safe mode fine, but nothing would go when I loaded it up regularly. I took it into Genius Bar, only for an hour and a half later for them to tell me that hard drive was fine and memory was fine. I had backed up all my information and the tech actually restored the computer back to latest version of Sierra. Once we wiped it and tried to restart, it did not boot normally. It did boot in safe mode. To that end, the tech told me he has never seen anything like it and "well at least you could still kinda work it in safe mode." We know the features you lose out on when in safe mode, but I'm trying to address it and fix whatever I can. It is either that or I need to hear that I should cut my losses and look for different options. Thanks [/QUOTE]
