Hello there You say your Mac Mini is still on El Capitan. Personally back when I had El Capitan on my iMac, I found it to be very buggy and frustrating to use. I experienced it as very unstable and simply never liked it. Maybe you should try going up to Sierra, I liked Sierra right from day one, and still find it a very stable build, i'm running it both on my MacBook Pro but also on my iMac which is older than your mini.
It might also be worth doing a total clean install of Sierra while you're at it, in other words formatting your hard drive and not simply upgrading over the current system. This will take longer and is slightly more effort, but in the end you Will have a clean machine and it will feel like a brand-new Mac. You might want to do this in the next week or two before High Sierra comes out, or at least download Sierra while it's still easy to get. I'll be running Sierra on my MacBook Pro which is my work machine for at least The next few months until I'm sure High Sierra isSuper stable, Nickus Sent from my iPhone, please excuse any typos... > On 01 Sep 2017, at 20:38, Nimer Jaber <nimerjab...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello, > > Busy messages happen to me on a Macbook pro, fully specked out, SSD and a > bunch of ram and all.
