TouchBar Issue ( Emoji ) Is there a fix for the the touch bar issue i am not sure if it's the new Mac os 12.1 that is creating this error. when i try to use the emoji on the touch bar , it stops working with an unresponsive X and then a blank touch bar. I would have to try to escape to then have my touch bar working again or restart my computer however the problems happens again after a while. Is there a Fix for this ?

How do I keep accidentally opening emoji and symbols? Every day since updating from macOS 11.6.7 to 11.6.8, once or twice, I've been doing something that doesn't involve typing at all when suddenly the emoji and symbols viewer appears. I don't think I've been pressing any shortcuts, and usually it appears just when I've stopped using a text box, for instance exiting a closed caption in Final Cut Pro to move on to the next one. How do I keep doing this? I thought it didn't work anymore. Last week every time I tried to open it to get a symbol by pressing the menu to open the symbol/keyboard viewer in the menu bar it didn't work. Has this happened to anyone else?

If you are trying to startup in macOS Internet Recovery Mode?

Try connecting the Mac Mini directly to your Router using an Ethernet cable.

What year model is your Mac Mini?

It is not clear why are you trying to startup in internet recovery mode?

See if your Mac Mini will startup in Safe Made, as per > https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262
