Can the Mac Mini use a Vizio TV as a wireless monitor?

Is there some sort of HDMI/Wi-Fi adaptor for a Vizio TV that I can connect to my Mac Mini?

For the benefit of brenden8 and anyone else.
Computer touch screens use a standard video connection for the video display, and a USB connection to transfer the touch signals. You then need to have matching drivers installed on (in this case) the Mac so it can understand the USB touch screen signals.
Some touch screens might come with Mac software as standard so you will have to check, but it is also possible to get independent software to use screens that themselves do not include Mac software. See
http://touch-base.com/download.asp
Note: Some makes of touch screen only support single or double finger guestures, and not triple or more finger gestures.

  • Can the mac mini i7, 8gigs ram,  edit avchd 1920/1080p without having to convert it?

    Can the mac mini i7, 8gigs ram,  external FW800 drive, edit avchd 1920/1080p without having to convert it?
    Can you scrub the TL at 5x speed and not have it stutter?

    By default it converts it to ProRes 422, though you can specify other codecs.
    Why convert it?
    Although FCP X can handle AVCHD natively, AVCHD being a "delivery" codec is not really suitable for editing.
    ProRes is designed specifically for ease of editing especially with complex effects and colour correction.
    If your editing is going to be fairly basic you can get away with leaving your media as AVCHD.
    Note also that an hour of ProRes is around 50GB !

  • HT202856 Can the Mac Mini (Late 2014) support 4k display @ 60 Hz via the DisplayPort?

    Dear Experienced Apple Guru,
    Apple made it clear on the Tech Specs for the Mac Mini (Late 2014) that a 4k display can be supported via the HDMI port at 30 Hz. But, can we also be clear how many Hertz the Mac Mini can handle with a 4k display via the Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt 2)?
    I have a site linked here saying that the DisplayPort 1.2 can handle up to nearly 20 Gbps, thus can handle 4k display at 60 Hz:
    "DisplayPort version 1.2 can support video resolutions of up to 3840 x 2160 pixels (4K) at a refresh rate of 60 Hz, and it supports all common 3D video formats. In terms of bandwidth, it can manage 17.28 Gbps. Version 1.3, when it arrives, will support up to 8192 x 4320 (8K) resolution, or two simultaneous 4K streams. It will also double bandwidth to 32.4 Gbps.
    Meanwhile, HDMI version 1.4 is the most common at the moment. This supports the same 4K resolution as DisplayPort 1.2, but at just 30 Hz (or 4096 x 2160 at 24 Hz). HDMI 2.0 is new on the scene in a few devices such as this Sony TV. This doubles the refresh rate to 60 Hz as well as increases bandwidth from 10.2- to 18 Gbps."
    Thanks,
    Trevalyn

    That have enabled DP 1.2 on their monitor and used a DP 1.2 cable but still only get 30 Hz at 4K.
    The MAC does not support MST

  • HT5475 Can the Mac mini upgrade to 8GB and 8GB of 1866MHz RAM ?

    I have the Mac mini (late 2012) 2.3GHz Core i7 model.

    The 2102 Mini can go to 16 GB, two 8 GB sticks. Macs are picky about memory and a stick rated at a higher speed may not work. Make sure that they say they will work with a Mac

  • Can the Mac mini connect to wifi or just Ethernet

    Hey guys I was wondering if the current Mac mini on the apple website can connect to wifi or does it need Ethernet. I would like to know before I buy one. So I can either get another Ethernet cable or just wifi. I know Ethernet is faster though so don't say that.

    The specs:

    say:
    Communications
    Wi-Fi
    802.11n Wi-Fi wireless networking;3 IEEE 802.11a/b/g compatible
    Bluetooth

  • Can the Mac Mini G4 be connected to a home stereo?

    Hi,
    I've been trying for days to find the right cable which will allow me to connect my G4 Mac Mini's headphone out port to either an optical or digital coax input on my home stereo.
    If anyone has had any success with this, please let us know!

    Doug, the G4 mini does not have optical/digital output capabilities. You can get a mini-plug to toslink adapter, as I have on my intel mini going to my stereo's optical input, but I do not believe it will work since the output port is not digital/optical.
    As you saw in the other thread on PPC mini and audio output
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=935713&tstart=30
    Your options are limited when going from analog output to digital/optical input.
    If you do not have any composite/RCA type inputs available (red and white cable) perhaps a switchbox would suffice. There are many on the market, some with a remote if you do not wish to get up and change the input source to the box.
    Perhaps going to a site like http://macaudiopro.digitalmedianet.com/ can give you some ideas/solutions to your dilemma.
    As for cables, while Amazon is always a source with a number of options available, cablesforless.com, cables4sure.com cablestogo.com etc. are all online wholesalers/retailers of audio and video cables. If you are looking for quality vs. price you will need to shop around a bit, as the different options/style cables can get confusing. Especially for someone like me who just wants to plug the **** thing in!

  • Can the Mac mini's Super Drive (Early 2006) *read* DVD-R discs?

    I made a back-up of a movie and burned it on to a DVD-R. I took the burned DVD and popped into my DVD player in the living room and it played just fine. I then put the burned DVD back into my mini, DVD Player.app opened and when I clicked play said the disc was invalid/unsupported (I’m not in front of my mini so don’t have the exact wording of the error). The DVD never even mounts on my desktop or Finder side bar. I went back and referenced the tech specs for my model and it reads:
    Slot-loading SuperDrive with double-layer support (DVD+R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
    That just seems strange that it would burn to a DVD-R with no problem, but then not be able to read it.
    I’ve put other DVD-R’s in the drive to test and the same thing. I had a back-up copy of my iPhoto library that I burned on my PowerBook on a DVD-R and this disc never mounted. I can only push the eject key on my keyboard to get the DVD out.

    I think I found my answer over at 123macmini.com
    Slot-loading SuperDrive with double-layer support (DVD+R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW):
    writes DVD+R DL discs at up to 2.4x speed,
    writes DVD-R and DVD+R discs at up to 8x speed,
    writes DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs at up to 4x speed,
    reads DVDs at up to 8x speed,
    writes CD-R discs at up to 24x speed,
    writes CD-RW discs at up to 16x speed,
    reads CDs at up to 24x speed

  • I plan to purchase a Mac mini and then a new iPad.  Can I use the iPad as a monitor and keyboard for the Mac mini, either through the USB connection or thru Wi-Fi?

    I plan to purchase a Mac mini and then a new iPad.  Can I use the iPad as a keyboard and screen for the Mac mini, using either the USB connector or Wi-Fi?

    I'm sorry, I should have said thru Bluetooth, not Wi-Fi.  I want to use the mini as a base station and the iPad like a laptop that I can sync when I'm home and carry with me when I travel.  Is is possible to hook these 2 up - iPad/mini, through Bluetooth?  I understand I need to use a regular monitor/keyboard/mouse on the initial install.

  • How can i control my new mac mini using my new macbook air? Thanks

    Hi, I would like to control and even file share my macmini using my macbook air... the mac mini is plugged into the family 50inch plasma... so getting access to it is not always easy! I'd like to play itunes, films, file share, just about do everything from the macbook air as if I was on and in front of the macmini... i'm hoping to do this from any country using wifi!
    I've looked at screens - vnc client, but can;t find anywhere where it says I should download the app... is there a master to download to the mac mini, then waht do i download to the macbook air to enjoy control... also am i expected to download twice and pay twice?
    I'm very new to the mac world... loving it, but lots to learn! Appreciate your help, thank you
    Chris
    PS... bonus if I can also control the mac mini using my iphone4 and ipad 2 (yup, my bank balance took a major hit.... apple certainly got me hooked!)

    Sceen sharing is built into the OS  go to your help in the finder and type in "screen sharing"
    To set up screen sharing: (on the mini)
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Sharing.
    Select the Screen Sharing checkbox.
    To specify who can share your screen, select one of the following:
    All users: Select this if you want to allow any user with a user account on your computer to share your screen.
    Only these users: Select this if you want to restrict screen sharing to specific users.Click Add at the bottom of the Users list and select a user from Users & Groups (accounts you have set up in Accounts preferences), Network Users (users on your network), or your Address Book. Or click New Person and enter a name and password to create a sharing account. Then select that user from the list and click Select.
    Click Computer Settings and set the following options:
    Anyone may request permission to control screen: Select this to allow anyone on your network to request to share your screen.
    VNC viewers may control screen with password: Select this and enter a password that VNC viewer applications can enter in order to control your screen.
    It’s recommended that you not set a password if you only share this computer’s screen using the built-in screen sharing viewer in Mac OS X.

  • Control mac mini using medius tx1000 universal control

    I have a iMac 24, but I am interested in buying a mac mini to use in my home theatre using iPhoto & iTunes. Can the mac mini be controlled using the Medius tx 1000 or ant other universal remote?. Can the mini be turned remotely on and off?

    I'm pretty sure that it can't use a universal remote and can't be turned off remotely.
    If you're desperate duct tape your Apple Remote to the other one.

  • Opinions about the Mac Mini

    Hey!
    I wanna know if Mac mini is good performance.
    I would like to use it mainly for Web Design (Photoshop) and Video Editing (less than Web Design though)
    What's your opinions about it.

    Hello,
    The Mac Mini is a great computer. And, it is capable of doing everything you are asking about.
    But, you will potentially find it less pleasurable to use for intensive graphics work than an iMac.
    The Mac Mini uses an Integrated Video system that borrows it's memory from the system's memory. So, it's performance is going to be lower when compared to the iMac.
    This primarily affects things being drawn to the screen, not the processing of information / graphics data.
    So, you won't find a problem in terms of crunching information and producing stuff. But, you may observe in some situations that the video / pictures being displayed on the screen may lag a bit.
    But, you'll usually only notice that in something with a high frame-rate (such as animations) or in 3D drawing or animation.
    Otherwise, it's a perfectly fine computer.
    It's price is a bit high for the lower performance it offers in comparison to the iMac systems. So, if you really want the best performance and the most for your money, then look towards the iMac.
    But, if the performance of the Mac Mini is acceptable to you, and you already have a large monitor that you like, then the Mini may be a good buy for you.
    My main complaints are that the CoreDuo model has rather humble specs compared to the iMac and it costs $800 before you add the additional memory that you will definitely want.
    The iMac starts at $1299, but comes with a monitor built-in, a much faster microprocessor, a significantly larger hard drive, and a dedicated graphics controller with it's own memory. So, you really get a good deal for your money.
    So, the way I see it, the Mini is an excellent computer, but hardly a deal when you compare what you get for your money.
    The iMac costs a bit more, but you get a lot for your money.
    And, you can always buy a refurbished iMac from Apple, and get the price as low as $1099.
    Apple Certified Refurbished Products
    Either way you go, you'll get a great computer. You just need to decide how much computer you want for your money.
    If you want a system with a large (and fast) hard drive, a fast graphics card, fast processor, and large screen, then go with the iMac.
    If you just want a computer that will get the job done, and have your own monitor already, then the Mac Mini may be a good purchase for you.
    You should also consider that Adobe has not upgraded their programs to be "Universal" yet. So, they will run using the slower and more demanding "Rosetta" translator built-into OS X.
    This means that you will need more memory (to hold the translated code). It also means that the performance of those programs will be slower. So, you'll want the fastest processor you can get (or afford) to help off-set the reduced performance.
    Basically, Rosetta is a translator that converts PowerPC code to run on Intel processors. This translated code is stored in memory while you are using the program, and therefore requires more memory to operate. So, you'll observe a decrease in performance if you start running low on memory. So, you'll want as much memory as you can get (1 GB or 2 GB would be preferable).
    Additionally, running in Rosetta is slower. So, you'll want a faster processor to help speed things up a bit when using older PowerPC programs.
    It has been said that Photoshop will run acceptably on the iMac, but it is noticeably slower. I could only imagine that it would be even slower on the Mac Mini due to it's slower processor.
    I hope this helps.

    Well, I really would love the new unreleased mac pro however , I'm not sure of the expected cost , Everyone speculates from $3,000 to $8,000, in which I may have to wait a while to purchase.
    To the point .... I want fully functional thunderbolt ports to be on the current mac pro's .... wonder if anyone had workarounds yet?...  or could I chain the the current mac pro to a mac mini to make that happen?

    The simplest way is to drag it across wirelessly using the 'Airdrop' application once both computers are near one another. 'Airdrop' can be found near the top, on the left hand side menu, within 'Finder'.
