I do think that is your best bet/option...

How can I add a second display to my Mac Mini

How can I add a second display to my Mac Mini (mid 2011). HDTV and standard monitor working simultaneously.

True ... but that can be tricky.
Macs can only power so much, and only through approved/proper adapters.
Running two monitors off a single MDP-to-VGA adapter may not work, because Mac may not nicely exchange-talk the simultaneous signals.
There is an adapter that will convert a single minidisplayport to two VGA plugs, but that adapter is $100 instead of $30 (for the single) because it has special hardware in the adapter itself to manage the two signals sinultaneously.
Alternately ...
Running one through the minidisplayport and one through the HDMI port makes them two separate signals to be processed.

How can i add memory to my mid 2007 IMAC

how can i add memory to my IMAC

You can have up to 6GB of memory for that model.
Many people on these forums speak well of the following memory suppliers.
In North America contact OWC …        Upgrade Apple iMac Memory
In Europe contact Crucial.com …       RAM Memory Upgrade
Both companies have facilities to guide you and will recommend the correct memory package to meet whatever needs you describe to them.
There may be benefits buying from whichever company has a branch in your own geographical location insofar as Shipping charges, Local sales taxes and Exchange rates. Check out the basic memory costs and do your sums.

How can i add a resolution display on a mac mini?

hi,
i have my mac mini currently running without a monitor connected. i control it through screen sharing from my macbook. i just suddenly had the clever idea of setting the display resolution on the mac mini to 1280x800 so i can run it full screen in my macbook.
only problem is that this resolution is not available (or not displayed) on the display preferences on my mac mini. it only gives me 4 options and is currently running at 1280x1024 (the other options are 800x600, 1024x768 and 1680x1050)
Is there any way i can 1280x800 resolution on the mac mini?
Thank you.
Al.

Hi,
thanks for that suggestion, looks like it should have worked but even with all its configurations it will not allow me to add the 1280x800 res to the mac mini, and yes it is completely headless. its set up to be accessed purely through screen sharing on my macbook, i intend to set it up to run a vpn also with vnc access for when i travel away.
it seems like it should be something really simple, obviously the 1280x800 is a standard size screen!
any more suggestions??
thanks.
Al.

Installing Lion on Mid 2007 mac mini

I recently performed a wipe on my system's hard disk. I had a mid 2007 mac mini with OS 10.5.8 installed. After the wipe, the original installation disks do not work and i am wondering how to get my computer running again and eventually upgrade to snow leopard or lion.

What exactly happens when you insert the original install DVD and try an install?
You can order Snow Leopard DVD here:

Once you have Snow Leopard yo use the Mac App Store to update

Mid-2007 Mac mini and HDMI issues

I have a Mid-2007 Mac Mini with OS X 10.7.3, that, most of the time, will work fine with a DVI->HDMI cable and either of 2 HDMI ports on the TV. The Mini recognizes the display correctly (a Vizio E371VL). The display's native res. is 1080p at 60hz, and the Mini is set to that and looks great. I can switch to lower resolutions and even restart the mini and have the Vizio look and behave correctly.
However, I have an Apple TV (current generation - black brick) hooked up to the other HDMI port on the Vizio. It also looks and acts great.
The problem is when I switch between the inputs on the TV. If I go to the Apple TV (which will be working fine) and then back to the other HDMI input, the Mac mini shows black. The TV does not say "no signal" or indicate any problem. No amount of zapping PRAM, ressetting the SMC or basic restarting helps. In fact, the TV still registers a signal at 1080p. Using Apple Remote Desktop from another Mac (a 2006 Macbook Pro with DVI) shows the Mini is still functioning and still correctly displays the Vizio model and 1080p @ 60hz resolution.
The kicker here is that I can physically disconnect the DVI/HDMI cable from the Mac mini and connect it to the Macbook Pro. The video from the Macbook will pop up immediately. I can switch between the Macbook and Apple TV all day long, switch resolutions, etc. No problem.
Even more bizarre is that this has the effect of "resetting" the Mac mini. If I plug the DVI connector back into the Mini, its video will pop back up. It will work fine as above until the HDMI input is changed again.
Vizio tech support acted as if they'd never heard of Apple, Inc. Useless.
Super frustrating problem.

Opperman,
I went with my gut and got an LG 47LM4600 TV with VGA input in addition to HDMI (seems there are not many--if any--TVs sold with DVI inputs anymore). The 2007 Mac mini is plugged in using my old DVI cable with VGA adaptor. I tested it using the DVI cable with HDMI adaptor, and there was no sound.
I can confirm the same condition that you originally described when I try to switch to the Mac mini on the PC input. The screen is black except for a color bar that flashes on briefly every 2-3 seconds at the bottom of the screen. No amount of switching from one input to the other will make the display come back. The only way I've found to fix it is to unplug the cable from either the TV or the computer and plug it back in.
The annoyance with this is ameliorated by the fact that we'll be using a new Apple TV to watch Netflix from now on, instead of using a Web browser on the mini. Will only have to worry about it when watching DVDs.
Cheers.

Upgrading RAM on Mid 2007 Mac Mini

My mother has a Mid 2007 Mac Mini, with 512MB RAM. In the past year or two, we've noticed its performance has been slowing. How much would upgrading to 1 or 2 GB of RAM help with the speed?

A fair bit, but only if she installed many Dashboard widgets or RAM intensive applications. Better that she leave the machine on overnight in screen saver, not energy saver mode, and make sure her hard disk isn't too full*:

And if then things are still slow, consider upgrading the RAM to the limit allowed by the machine according to specs*:

How can I add an email account in apple mac which ends with .consulting

We changed our email account and the domain name is .consulting. How can I add this account to my Mac mail?

If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must use the previous Apple ID and password to unlock the device. If you do not know the password you might be able to recover it at this link:
https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid
This normally will require that info is sent to the primary email address associated with the Apple ID. If you have an alternate email address assigned to that Apple ID you might get the password via the alternate email address.

How to connect an external HD to a 2007 Mac Mini with FireWire

I have a 2007 Mac Mini with a 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo processor, 1 GB of RAM, and an 80 GB HD. I recently migrated to Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6.5) from Tiger (OS X 10.4.11). I purchased a 500 GB external HD from Seagate which I want to use to back up both my wife's notebook PC and my Apple. My Mac Mini has a Firewire 400 (6-pin) female connector on the back. The external HD can connect to a Mac via a Firewire 800 male 9-pin connector. How do I connect the male FW 800 9-pin to the female FW 400 6-pin port? This may sound obvious, but the solution is more challenging than I imagined. The 9- to 6-pin adaptors I've seen online combine a female 6-pin end with a male 9-pin end. I need the reverse of that (female 9-pin FW 800 to male 6-pin FW 400 adaptor)! I bought a 9- to 6-pin cable this week, but ended up with two male 9-pin plug ends, and no way to connect them. Is a solution available using FW, or should I bail and go with a USB 2.0 connection instead?

Most external firewire drives have removable cables that plug into "female" ports on the hard drive. Is the firewire cabling on your external drive different from this? (What is the model number of the external drive?)
If the cable is removeable, simply buy a 6-pin-to-9-pin firewire cable (male on both ends).
monoprice.com is a good place to find these cheaply and in the length you need.

Mid 2007 Mac mini (2,1) with optibay, boot from raid 0?

I've just got an optibay, which I've installed, and now have two 7200rpm 500GB hard drives inside my 2007 mac mini. I've set it up as raid 0, and have cloned my original boot volume back to it, but when I start up the mini I get a stop symbol instead of the apple symbol.
According to this article, some macs don't support Raid booting, but my mini isn't listed amongst them:

Anyone else doing something even vaguely similar to this?

Which Tiger Install DVD do you have...?
1. I think that, that model originally came with 10.4.10 and so you will need either the original 10.4.10 install disc or a later retail (Leopard or Snow Leopard) upgrade DVD.
2. In addition, a new (HDD, Hybrid Drive or SSD) must first be Partitioned GUID Partition Table and Formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled) before OS X can be installed.

What wan ip address do you have.. if the TC is behind an existing router then it will not work directly. The TC has to be bridged.. and you will need to forward port 548 TCP to the IP address of the TC.
And my HD's format type is exFat and I can use it on my mac, why is not work on TC, do you know? Finally I have one more question how can I see my files on ipad or iphone? By the way thanks a lot.
ExFat will not work on a TC.. Fat16 or Fat32 (both not recommended btw) or HFS+.. note if you use fat you cannot use AFP.
Google is your friend.. this took 10sec or less to find.

Finally I have one more question how can I see my files on ipad or iphone? By the way thanks a lot.
ipad or iphone, ie iOS devices do not use AFP, so the access is only via SMB.. and you need to purchase an App to get that ability.
Again, 10sec on google.. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/filebrowser-access-files-on/id364738545?mt=8
Lots of examples though. I have no idea of good and bad ones.. use google.

How can i install 8 gb ram on a mac mini early 2009 when it says i dont need the EFI firmware 2.1?i can only install 4 gb but the side of OWC says i can install 8 gb? what to do?

i have a mac mini early 2009 and i want to install 8 gb ram but it doesn,t work.
it says on the OWC site that i have to install the EFI firmware 2.1 update but it won,t let me,it says(the mac mini)that i don,t need this update.
my kernel is 32bit but my EFI is 64 bit,how can i install 64 bit so i can use the 8GB cause with 32 bit i can,t use more than 4gb ram

Check your computer's EFI Boot ROM version;
1. From the Apple () menu, choose About This Mac
2. Click More Info Under Contents
3. Select Hardware
If your Mac mini's Boot ROM version is the following or more recent, then you do not need the update to use 8 GB of RAM;
Boot ROM Version: MM31.0081.B06
