17" Studio to Mac mini

I have a 17" Studio Display that I want to connect to a Mac mini but its impossible because I need an adapter...I need to know what is the adapter or cable's name to connect the 17" Studio Display to the Mac mini? Can you send me a link or something to know what to buy?

The Apple Studio 17" LCD display uses an ADC connector, so you'll need the device listed at http://www.apple.com/lae/displays/adapter/
http://www.drbott.com/prod/db.lasso?code=0111-DVAD and http://www.macmall.com/macmall/shop/detail.asp?dpno=285655&Redir=1 are two potential sources.

Dual ADC Apple Studio Displays (clear acrylic) with Mac Mini

I currently have the old school Apple Studio Display ADC monitor hooked up to my Mac Mini using the ADC to DVI adapter. I have a second Studio ADC Display and another ADC to DVI adapter to run Dual Displays. I just bought a SEE 2 XTREME DVI to USB which is used for adding multiple monitors. I have it all hooked up. Its just basic plug and play after installing the Mac driver. My second monitor power light just flashes and wont turn on...Any suggestions? I already made sure both monitors and both ADC to DVI adapters worked, and they do. Please Help!! Any info would be greatly appreciated.

yea, I checked that out about the light flashes. I have tried both monitors seperately and they both work fine...just not with this DVI to USB dual monitor adapter. Also, when I had them hooked up individually, I made sure the resolution was set the same in the system preferences > displays.

Mac Mini and 17" Studio Display CRT (ADC)

Is there someone who can tell me if there is a DVI to ADC Adapter to get a Mac Mini to work with the beautiful 17" Studio Display CRT (ADC). Which is an anolog monitor, the adapters i can find work only on LCD (digital) screens.
Please let me know...
Ger

Do NOT buy the Apple DVI to ADC adapter, it does not work with CRT displays.
The 'geniuses' at the Apple store recommended that I buy this adapter. It didn't work. I have since found out (after extensively surfing the web) that I am not the only one who has been recommended to buy this adapter by an Apple 'genius'. However, It is simply not designed to work with the CRT's, it is LCD only.
There is no way to make the ADC 17" CRT studio display work with new non ADC Apple hardware. Apple have simply dismissed it, much to the annoyance of all the customers who had purchased this perfectly respectable display.
If you want to use your Mac Mini you will need to use either a non-Apple display or one of their new displays. Your perfectly functioning CRT is now a doorstop.

DVI to ADC adapter STudio display will not power on when used with Mac mini

I have a Mac mini and I just purchased a used apple 17" CRT studio display. I bought the DVI to ADC Adapter as recommended by my Apple store. When I hook everything up (I have checked and redone this two times) The power light will come on for about a second when presses. When the mini powers up there is a blank dark screen. I would appreciate any ideas on this. thanks!

Hi
unfortunately I think the Apple store have sold you the wrong item.
I'm almost certain the DVI to ADC adapter only works with ADC based flat panel displays. DVI ports can output digital or analogue signals (or a combination of the two). The adapter seems to provide digital, which is why it works with the LCD displays, but not analogue, which is why it doesn't work with the CRT displays.
Confusingly Apple did a 17" Studio display both as a CRT and LCD.
Dr. Bott do a similar adapter but they explicitly state it's not compatible with the 17" CRT.
Unfortunately I'm not sure there's a solution, as the display has an ADC connector yet I'm not aware of any adapters available that will work.

Studio Display 21" with Mac Mini?

I am considering getting a Mac Mini as an economical upgrade to my B/W G3 system but I want to make sire that my monitor is going to work with it. I have the origingal blue and white 21" Studio Display. the System Profiler says this......
Displays:
Studio Display 21:
Display Type: CRT
Resolution: 1152 x 870 @ 75 Hz
Depth: 32-bit Color
Core Image: Not Supported
Main Display: Yes
Mirror: Off
Online: Yes
Quartz Extreme: Not Supported
Will this display work with a new Mac Mini? I really do not have the $ right now to get a new Monitor and this one works great anyway. I am also wondering how my current software,,,,,,, Photoshop,Indesign etc. will work with the new Intel Macs?
THanks for any input

Can't help on the screen much - believe you need to get an adapter, as the previous post indicated. You might check in the Apple dislay area at http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=111
Regarding your applications, as long as you're not running under OS 9 or earlier, your applications will run on the Intel mini under Rosetta emulation. Universal applications are those that have been modified to run on both the PPC and Intel macs, and they run natively. Those applications that have not been made universal run under Rosetta emulation. Photoshop is an example of an application that has not been made universal yet (supposed to happen this year with Photoshop CS3). Running under emulation does extract a performance penalty, of up to 50%, versus running in native universal mode.
If you have applications running under OS9 or in the OS X classic environment, you'll need to upgrade to an OS X version in order to run on the Intel-based mini, and you may find there are Universal versions of your software, which would be even better.

Brand new mac mini and Studio Display 17" LCD- 2 adapters needed- problems?

From many forum posts here and elsewhere it seems I can in fact hook up my Studio Display 17" LCD monitor if I used the ADC-DVI adapter. But has anyone used the ADC-DVI adapter AND the DVI-mini DVI adapter that came in the box with the Mac mini?
Apple tech support told me on the phone tonight that doing so would "fry" the Studio Display.
Has anyone had any problems using this? Will running it through 2 adapters cause problems as opposed to the older minis where you could just do ADC-DVI and then into the computer?

Were you able to get your display working? I have an LG 27" at home connected to a Mid 2012 (June) MacBook Air 13" that has absolutely no issues. However, I just obtained the same Samsung monitor you have and appear to be having the same issue.
The only solution that I have found is to unplug the power from the back of the monitor or at the power supply each time my computer either wakes from sleep, screensaver, or a display that is powered off. This seems to be true via the following connections:
1. HDMI to DVI thunderbolt adapter
2. HDMI to Thunderbolt adapter
The display powers on with a slight flicker and then will immediately stop displaying the image on screen. What's especially strange here is the MacBook Air still believes the display is connected -- my login screen or active apps that are displayed on the external monitor do not move to the MacBook Air display as if it's no longer connected.
I hope someone has a solution to this issue! Thanks!

New mac mini and imac vs powermac G5 running FCP studio

I want to compare running the FCP suite on the new max minis and imacs that came out today vs what I am currently using:
Currently I am running FCP Studio on a Powermac G5 dual 2GHz with one gig of ram. I believe the frontside bus is 1GHz. I believe the stock video card isan ATI Radeon 9600 Pro (AGP 8X Pro) video card with 64 MB of DDR SDRAM.
With this being said, is it safe to assume that the new entry level mac mini would surpass my G5 in terms of performnce in both video (NVIDIA GeForce 9400M with128MB or 256MB of shared DDR3) memory processing (intel core2 duo 2GHz)?
If not would the two low end Imacs (using NVIDIA GeForce 9400M with 256MB of shared DDR3 memory) and processing power handle FCP studio better than my current powermac G5 setup listed above?
I am wondering because I spoke to a apple sales person who transfered me to a system engineer that said I'd have a slow time rendering video on FCP with the mac minis as well as the 2 low end imacs. This may be but Im wondering if it is still better than what I am using
I appreciate your opinions, but please only answer if you really know,
Thanks!

For FCP/FCS I would not save on anything but will get the max what my budget allow. You will be always doing more and the workflow in FCS will entice you to open almost all apps in FCS concurrently to make use of the advanced features. I think that the new iMac are powerful enough to handle FCS, but once again, the extra dollars will save you alot of pain. FCS is a pro app and is not to be underestimated. Good luck.

Final Cut Studio 2 - not on Mac Mini?

I moved away from Mac towers around 12 months ago as I just didn't need the power and the Mac Mini has served me well since then, even running Final Cut Pro and DVD Studio Pro etc.
However, a worrying section of the spec requirements for Final Cut Studio 2 is 'An AGP or PCI Express Quartz Extreme graphics card (Final Cut Studio is not compatible with integrated Intel graphics processors)'
That basically means if you have a Mac Mini you are screwed, right? Therefore if I want to run Final Cut Pro 6 I need to get a tower? Crikey, that's bad news if that is the case...
As an aside - why the **** don't Apple release a 'Mac Middle' - a mini tower with space for two Sata drives and perhaps a maximum of 4Gb and a single Core duo. That way the Mac Pro is protected for the high end but the pro apps are far more affordable and worthwhile on a cheaper platform. Just my 2p worth!

Go to the individual applications page for detail and read the specs VERY closely. If it says it needs a video card or processor of a certain level - well - that's what it means. In years past, some hacks have been made but who knows if that is possible in the next generation. I certainly would not count on it.

Mac mini & Studio Display

I've just gotten a Mac Mini and I'm hoping to use it with my 15" Studio Display, Family Number M2454. The monitor is circa 1999-2000. The plug looks perfect for the slot on the Mac mini, but the way it secures itself is different, and thus won't fit. The adapter enclosed with the Mac mini is of no help. Does anyone have a clue what adaptor I should use and where to get one?
Thanks.
Mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.7) also own G4 Cube

Unfortunately, your Studio Display has an ADC type connector. If you look at it you'll see that rather than 'D" shaped like a VGA connector, or Rectangular like a DVI connector, the ADC connector has rounded ends. Thus it won't plug into the mini's DVI port, or the VGA connector on the adapter.
You'll need a device such as the DVI-to-ADC adapter at http://www.apple.com/lae/displays/adapter/ http://www.smalldog.com/product/12651652 or http://www.drbott.com/prod/db.lasso?code=0111-DVAD
As you'll see, there are around $100 so not inexpensive. At that cost, it's almost worth buying a new 17" LCD for what is often little more.
The option to connect it to the VGA adaptor with a suitable VGA-to-ADC adaptor also exists (such as http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=1301) but seems rather more expensive.

Final Cut Studio 3 on a 2010 Mac Mini?

Hi, I've searched the web high and low and can't find an answer to my question. Can the new Mac Mini dual 2.4 run Final Cut Studio 3? My main concern is the graphics card which SHARES 256mb ddr3 sdram. The Final Cut Studio 3 page says the hardware should be at least 128MB Vram. Is the shared 256MB SDram seen as "V"ram by Final Cut Studio?
If I'm reading the specs right the only thing the Mac Mini can't do is 4k & DPX rendering which requires 512MB Vram in Color (and I'm sure other intensive tasks would crawl).
Of course we would all like a Mac Pro, but my budget is tight.
Thank you so much for any feed back.

What do you mean by "Forget Color, forget Motion. There is no way to properly monitor what you are doing.
COLOR: I mean that to properly use COLOR you need a separate capture or video input/output device. One designed for video. Color will not send out a video signal via the HDMI port. That is, in essence, just another video out option...a video signal, via an HDMI port. So that you can connect the mini to an HDTV. But, it will mirror the desktop, send out an RGB signal, not a proper YUV video signal. For Color, you need proper monitoring. But you don't need to use Color...just saying.
and extended desktop is possible across the two for dual monitors, correct?
Yes, dual COMPUTER DISPLAYS...not proper video monitoring.
Color only requires 1680x1050)
For workspace...to use the interface. But to get a proper video signal you need a professional IO device. None works with the Mini. Well, there is the AJA IOHD, but that doesn't work with Color (firewire issue).
MOTION: Well, it might work. I just know that on the Mini I have it is a dog to work with. So I skip it. Let the kids edit on the BIG TV...they have fun with that.

New Mac Mini / DVI / Apple 17" Studio Display

Greetings all.
I am contemplating purchasing new Mac Mini.
Currently using Mac mini / DVI adapter/ older Apple 17" studio display.
I do not intend monitor change at present.
Question is, which display adapter would allow me to use older DVI adapter/Apple 17" studio display?
Thanks for you time, looking forward to your response.
Regards,

I am considering purchasing the Mac mini for home studio audio production using Adobe Audition and a USB microphone. Will the base mini model run these programs?

I am considering purchasing the Mac mini for home studio audio production using Adobe Audition and a USB microphone. Will the base mini model run these programs?

The base mini has 4GB and a 5400 RPM hard drive. It is slow to start up and slow to launch large application such as Word (and I'd assume Adobe Audition) due to the slow drive. I've not used a new 4GB model, just the 8GB model, and the 8GB model (except for the slow drive) handles everything I've thrown at it, including running Photoshop, Word, Safari, and Mail at the same time but there is sometimes a delay switching between programs as the swapfile is updated. Overall I was not happy with the 5400 RPM drive (perhaps because I have MBA and iMac with Fusion drive) so I eventually upgraded it with an SSD. Now the mini is truly a warrior.

Slim 2010 Mac mini & Final Cut Studio 3

Hello all,
Is anyone running Final Cut Studio 3 on one of the new 2010 slim Mac minis or mini server? Is it really slow or is it running OK.
Thank you all very much.

Some things to consider when you are deciding what to buy...
What are your needs?
Are you playing with FCS or will it be paying the bills?
If you are planning on doing a lot of work then you will need an additional hard drive to your system drive either internal or external.
Some machines don't allow for adding internal hard drives.
You will want at least 2G's of RAM to run FCS
Make sure you get a video card that can handle Motion if you plan on using that app.
There are plenty more gotchas that can pop up depending on what your plans are so think it through and remember sometimes going cheaper can cost you more in the long run than if you had just shelled out a little more in the beginning
