Can Mac MIni operate on its side

I use Mac Minis a lot for kiosks. My kiosk designer is wondering if the computer can sit on its side. I can't find anything in literature that says it has to sit flat. Any ideas?

David
What are you using for your kiosk app? I too am looking at deploying mac based kiosks (either imacs or macminis hooked up to touch screens coverted by troll touch) for a retail client.
For an app the only (and seemingly best) app found so far is wkiosk from www.app4mac.com .
Thanks

  • 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

  • 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.

    Yes, Thunderbolt is bootable. Now all we need are some reasonably priced Thunderbolt drives to try it!

  • Stupid question: Can I stan TC on its side?

    I have a TC 500Gb. Can I stand it on its side without damaging the router or HD or does it need to stand on its 'feet' (ie flat)?

    Basically all iMac owners have their internal HDDs on its side. Just don't try to hide it in between some books or something as TC NEEDS room to cool as it can get quite warm.
    Check out the link below to see how orienting TC would affect the interior. The antennae appear to be on 3 sides.

  • Can airport extreme sit on its side, or must it lie flat?

    Have a recent Airport Extreme. Limited counterspace for new printer. Wondered if I can sit Airport Extreme on its side, or must it lie flat for ventilation or optimum reception. Thanks, BK

    The Extreme works best when placed horizontally for both reception and cooling. However, it can be placed vertically and a number of vendors provide stands or brackets to support this.

    Why does my new Mac Mini restart on its own?

    Thanks.

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

  • Can a G5 run on its side, can it be used horizontally?

    I have a fully functional dual 2 ghz G5 tower and was wondering if it can function on its side? Or, does it have to be vertical?

    Not a G5 but Mac Pro, only issue is whether the optical drive is designed (with a lip) to hold media in place. Otherwise, shouldn't matter or be different. I've had mine this way for nearly 3 yrs, sometimes upright as well but easier to get at parts.
    Just my take on this and it has been asked a couple times, but can't recall seeing it mentioned in G5 forum.

  • Itunes freezes on my mac mini?? its okay for the first few minutes then freezes. i just then get the colour wheel and have to 'force close'

    hi there, i have major problems with itunes freezing on my mac Mini, its okay for the first minute or two then it freezes and i get the spinning colour wheel and i have to force close.
    can anyone help?

    I suspect that you'll have to mount that volume at boot time and not at login time as you're doing now.  If you can arrange that, then the volume should be available to all users.
    Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be an easy way to do a boot-time mount.  I tried searching for "mount drive startup mac" (without the quotes), but most of the results described how to mount a volume at login time.  Ignore any advice that mentions "Login Items".
    I did find this discussion, but it's very sketchy.  You also have to be careful that any advice you find applies to the version of OS X that you're using.

  • 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 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.
