Can Mac mini attach to a g5

Can a Mac mini be used with a G5 to expand the computer's capacity?

No and if your 20" iSight is running 10.6.8, then it is an Intel iMac and not a PowerPC G5
You can however use and access the iMac's Hard Drive using a 6 to 9 pin FireWire 400 to 800 cable in Target Disk Mode.
see > How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode

  • Can mac mini use macbook's display?

    Can mac mini use macbook's display? ie can it be added to Macbook as another drive?

    No, it can't use the drive, but it can use the drive. You need a FireWire cable, plug them in to the same port on each device, and hold down the "t" key on the MacBook. The Mac mini should then see it as a hard drive. If you want to share the disc drive, on the MacBook open System Preferences, sharing, Remote Disk. In Finder, the Mac mini should see the MacBooks drive under "Remote Disc".

    If you use the Apple Thunderbolt display you can connect up to 6 displays by daisy chaining them together
    but up to 6 on the integrated graphics of the mini? A discrete graphics card isnt necessary?
    The new Thunderbolt technology in Mac mini is phenomenally fast. It features two 10-Gbps channels for data transfer. That’s up to 12 times faster than FireWire 800 and up to 20 times faster than USB 2.0. But beyond speed, Thunderbolt technology gives you unprecedented expansion capabilities. You can daisy-chain as many as six Thunderbolt peripherals, including the new Apple Thunderbolt Display. And since Thunderbolt is based on DisplayPort technology, your Mini DisplayPort devices plug right in, too.

  • Can mac mini work connected to imac desktop

    can mac mini work connected to imac desktop. I know its silly question but can i make the mac mini main operating system on my imac after transferring all of my itunes etc?

    What is Target Display mode?
    But only 27" iMac (Late 2009 or Mid 2010) can do this.
    Since you mentioned an Early 2009 iMac I assume that it is a 24" iMac which sadly has not this capability.
    If I am correct, you might wanna have a look at ScreenRecycler http://www.screenrecycler.com/ScreenRecycler.html

  • Panasonic 50" Plasma TH-50PH9UK - can mac mini display be set to 1366X768

    My mac mini is connected to a Panasonic high definition plasma display (TH-50PH9UK) using a DVI to VGA adapter and a VGA connector. The native resolution for the display is 1366 X 768 but this is not an option under the display settings in system preferences? How can I match the native resolution?

    No guarantees, but try this (the following precedure must be performed with the Panasonic attached to the mini):
    Download and install SwitchRes X Control Panel (note: not the full version called Universal Installer). Open SRX and with the "Resolutions" icon highlighted in the main window, click on the "Custom" button on the button bar. Click on the "+" in the lower left corner of the window to add a new resolution. A second window will open filled out with timing values of the current timing in use. Make sure the "Use simplified settings:" check box does not have a check mark in it. Fill in the boxes with the following data:
    Pixel clock: 86.18
    Horizontal Active: 1366
    Horizontal Front porch: 40
    Horizontal Sync width: 96
    Horizontal Back porch: 280
    Vertical Active: 768
    Vertical Front porch: 3
    Vertical Sync width: 14
    Vertical Back Porch: 21
    Put check marks in "Positive sync." for both Horizontal and Vertical sync.
    You should observe that the Horizontal Scan rate is around 48.36 kHz and the Vertical Scan rate should be around 60 Hz. Click on the OK button and and then the Apply button. Quit SRX and follow the directions for saving and restarting.
    When the mini is restarted, open Displays preferences and the newly created timing should now show up. Select it and hopefully you will get a native resolution output. Good luck.

  • Can mac mini connect to macbook pro?

    can i conncet mac mini to macbook pro?using macbook pro monitor and mac mini hardware?

    The only way to do what you want is over a network
    using Screen Sharing, Apple Remote Desktop, or
    some other VNC client.
    There is no other way to use a Macbook Pro as a monitor.

  • Can Mac mini edit High Definition?

    Hi,
    I believe that Apple's specs say you can work with HDV with a 1 ghz or better G4, but I was wondering if anyone can tell me about their experience?
    My father has a "rev A" iMac G5, and it imports HDV from my Sony FX1 at 1/2 speed or 1/4 speed. I am yet to get everything imported because it is kind of quirky and lags so far behind the actual video.
    I don't want to use his Mac all the time, so I am considering a Mac mini (all I can afford ).
    Will a Mac mini allow you to capture HD footage and work with it in iMovie of Final Cut Pro? If you've had any experience using a Mac mini for HD, please post your thoughts.
    My machine is an 867 mhz G4 Quicksilver and it falls below the specs for editing HD.
    Thanks,
    - John

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply.
    One thing I guess I should say is that I'm not that interested in speed, although I guess that's what my original post kind of implied because I mentioned the time it takes to import footage and how it lags behind. I really want to know if it works at all. My 867mhz Quicksilver is over 4 years old, but I still make a living with it and have done all of my TV shows on it, in DV though. I guess I'm used to waiting for things to render, so that's not an issue at this point. I would love to have a G5, but I simply can't afford one and I need to get some work done without taking up time on other's machines.
    Thanks again,
    - john

  • Can mac mini mid2011 support fusion drives?

    I have installed 2 drives a SSD for my apps and all programs and the original HDD that came with the mini to use as a media drive.  can the Mac mini support fusion drive if so, anyone knows where I can get info on how to make both drives into a singel fusion drive

    Yes, a mid-2011 Mac Mini supports a DYI Fusion drive as long as you're running Mountain Lion. I have done this on mid-2011 prior to purchasing my current late-2012 Mac Mini.
    Here's a link to give you the steps of how to create one.

  • Can mac mini support two monitors?

    how do you configure setup using two separate monitors with Mac Mini?

    Yes, you can have two monitors.
    The Mid 2010 Mini has
    1 × HDMI Port (Includes HDMI to DVI Adapter)
    1 × Mini DisplayPort
    The Mid 2011 and late 2012 have
    1 × HDMI Port (Includes HDMI to DVI Adapter)
    1 × Thunderbolt Port
    You can purchase a mini display port to DVI and mini display port to VGA adopters. Those adopters also works with the thunderbolt port.

  • Can Mac mini October 2012 boot from Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)?

    Can the Mac mini October 2012 boot from Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)?
    It is needed to run applications that require Rosetta (Eudora e-mail, Palm Desktop PDA-PIM, Canvas drawing from ACDsee, etc). Thanks

    Can the Mac mini October 2012 boot from Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)?
    No. Your best option by far is to find updates or replacements for that long-obsolete software. In the long run, you'll have no other choice. As a last resort, you could do this:
    Installing Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) into Parallels
    The instructions are slightly out of date. That's not a recommendation and I haven't tried it myself.

  • Can Mac Mini boot XP from an External HD ? ? ? ?

    Hi All,
    Just a quick question.
    I have a recently deceased PC. RIP.
    I was able to salvage my boot drive with much of my media content.
    I would very much like to buy a Mac Mini to use as a PC / Media Center.
    Can a Mac Mini boot Windows XP from an external drive?????
    thanks to any who can answer this question,
    or possibly point me to more info .
    best regards

    Hi,
    without the preperations to be made, that are outlined in the link I gave, Windows always tries to read and write certain files during bootup, which it can't find when you 'only' have a Windows on an external HD.
    I only know of these instructions to get Windows on external HDs to work.
    If it weren't for games you like to play, I would suggest to have a look at the 'Virtualization' apps like Parallels or VMWare Fusion.
    But these aren't good for playing games.
    Sorry
