Connect 2 LCD Tv's to Mac Mini

I have an LCD TV in the lounge room connected to a mac mini via HDMI cable, is it possible to connect another LCD TV located in the bedroom & be able to use the wireless keyboard & mouse ( either by cable or wireless )

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes you can do that, if you want to connect to an iTunes library though with each, you will  need a computer in both locations.

  • Can i connect to bluetooth headsets to a mac mini?

    I am trying to connect two motorola H730 bluetooth headsets two a mac mini for video presentations.  Basically what i am doing is teaching two different groups of people in two places using one computer. Is this possible?  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
    My back up plan was to connect each motorola H730 to a mac mini and an i mac, and treat them as two seperate computers for each location.
    Hopefully i was able to articulate what i am trying to do as i am barely able to understand it myself.
    Thanks.

    Ahum... You will have client again and it is much easier than you think it is.
    I did want to upgrade to OS X Server (Mountain Lion), but that does mean I first had to install Mountain Lion. At this point there was no server application any longer as everything from Lion Server will be archived.
    If you do not want to upgrade to OS X Server, just follow my upgrade path, but stop before downloading the Server app from the App Store... Simple...

  • Need help W/ USB camera (integrated in ViewSonic LCD) to work W/Mac mini

    I own an View Sonic LCD Monitor, Model: VX2255wm (USB web cam integrated)
    I connected the display and USB camera to a Mac Mini Running Mac OSX 10.5.2 and 2 GB of memory. It also has an Intel Core Solo processor.
    For some reason the USB camera will not work correctly with Photo Booth. ( it shuts it off when I want to use it and it sends an error message to apple).
    I tried it with iChat and the camera turned on ok and it did not shut off the program. I tried contacting ViewSonic to see if they had any drivers that I could install in the Mac mini to help it work better, unfortunately they told me to contact Apple. So here I am.
    Can anyone help me out to figure out what I can do to get this issue fixed? I am new to Macs and I am learning that overall they are so easy to use and do not have any problems connecting any hardware to Macs, this is the first issue I have come across and would like to have it solved so that I am able to use Photo Booth Again. Would anyone know if Apple has some generic drivers that could help me get that USB camera to work correctly?
    I appreciate any help I can get.
    Thank you
    P.S. The LCD works perfect, its just the camera I have problems with.

    Hi Jedihunter6X9-
    Greetings and welcome to the Apple boards
    First of all realize that for the most part no one here is officially "Apple". We are all users just like yourself.
    That being said, I can assure you that it is a monitor manufacturer's responsibility to both provide drivers for a Mac-compatible device and to update them to keep them current with any OS updates.
    The reason that they sent you in this direction is because they don't market that monitor as being compatible with a Mac, and in fact ViewSonic's website lists PC only as a compatible computer.
    There may be a generic driver and hopefully someone in the community has been able to get this to work and will share.

  • How to connect a 23" Cinema display and mac mini to an AV Receiver?

    I am trying to get my 23" Cinema display and Mac Mini to a Yamaha RX-2700 AV Receiver. I am on first name terms with the guy in Maplins because I tried to get an Xbox 360 working with this display before and gave up in the end.  The AV receiver has upscaling capability so I thought I'd try again.  I tried connecting a HDMI - DVI adapter to the HDMI Out on the receiver and a HMDI to DVI cable from the Mac Mini to the HDMI in with a optical cable for the sound.  The sound works fine but I get no display - the LED on the monitor flashes three times with a blank screen so it can't read the signal.  Another option suggested was to use a VGA Converter connected to a VGA - HDMI cable but I would like to find out if that would work before going down that route?
    I am looking for some advice about whether this type of configuation is possible with the 23" ACD and if so what do I need to buy to make it work?  I love the quality of my ACD to avoid having to replace it with a TV to get my multi media life in order.
    Many thanks

  • Why is my Internet connection hanging on both MacBook and Mac mini, but not PCs, Xbox, or iOS devices?

    I have a MacBook pro and Mac mini both running the latest version of lion.  I've had this issue with my MacBook for sometime now, but just dealt with it and figured it was isolated, but now I am finding its not.
    Essentially, I will open up safari, or Chrome, and the first few pages will load fine.  Sometimes I will get lucky and be able to browse normally, but after awhile, safari just hangs there and stops loading.  I can close the window, and open a few more pages before it does it again.  Both my mini and MacBook do this, but only on my home network.  My MacBook runs perfectly fine on my work wi if, and other wi fis, so I definitely know its my home modem.  If I wait it out I can surf the Internet again, but this dead time is absolutely killing me. It just randomly stalls, on both computers.
    I current have time Warner cable roadrunner, with a cable modem gateway.  The issue was happening on a straight connection.  I had hoped getting a time capsule and connecting to that network would solve things, but it didn't.  Interestingly enough, my Pcs, Xbox,and all 4 of my iPads and iPhones work just fine on the wifi, so there has to be a communication issues with the MacBook and mini with the cable router.
    I've tried messing with lions network DNS servers and tried opendns ones, but those didn't work.  Sometimes I can fix the problem for a few hours by power cycling the modem and router, but I shouldn't  have to do that over and over every time it's an issue.  I've also tried removing and adding the wi if connections, but that.works for a minute or two and then the problem resumes.
    Now, I have my time capsule connected to the gateway, and tuned the time Warner modem wireless off, which didn't help of course, but at least I'm properly backed up.
    I'm not sure what the issue is.  I've even tried typing an ip address of apple during a dead time to see if that worked and didn't.
    Does anyone have any other ideas?  I'm pretty much at my wits end in this, any ideas would be greatly appreciated

    Have you tried a simple reset of your iPod to see if that helps?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Otherwise, have you tried any of the troubleshooting mentioned in this Apple support document?

  • Can't Connect to Router Using Airport Through Mac Mini

    Hey guys.
    I got a new 13" White MacBook in Jan. of this year (2009) and it hasn't given me any trouble, until now.
    I've been able to connect to any wireless network before, both through modems and computer-to-computer.
    However, my new router is giving me some trouble. It's a Tenda brand router connected via Ethernet cable to a new MacMini. The internet on the MacMini is working fine, but I can't seem to find the wireless network the modem should be giving off on my MacBook. As I said earlier, I've never had any problems with my airport before.
    I have all the information needed to connect to the modem (IP, Subnet Mask, Router , and DNS Server) but I'm not sure where/how I'm supposed to enter them.
    Can someone help?

    Well, i fixed it! Thanks to other questions in the Mac Forums, i learned that if i turned on the Internet Sharing in my System Preferences i could use the Mac Mini as a sort of 'host' computer. For any having the same or similar problems, here's the thread:

  • Can't connect to my Macook from my Mac Mini

    Hi,
    I’m having a problem with file sharing in OSX 10.6.4
    I can’t connect from the Mini to the Macbook and vice-versa.
    I’m not sure why, tried to look for a discussion that would solve, but found nothing.
    Basically, I can see the macbook/MAc Mini in the sharing section of the left bar, click on it, and the wheel spins forever...
    Then click on connect as, and after a while I get a message saying:
    There was an error connecting to the server “nameserver”. Check the server name or IP address, and then try again.
    So then I do “connect to Server” from the finder, and I put the address of the server into it.
    I get the same message I got before.
    I’m on a wireless network, that uses no password protection, but it uses mac address identification.
    Help is welcome.
    Thanx.
    Luca

    None able to help m e on this?
    I think there's something in the preferences of my accounts that is creating the problem.
    Is there a way to reset File Sharing preferences for a machine?
    Thanx

  • HELP - Sony LCD Projection DF42WE655 with Mac Mini CoreSolo

    I have the display connected with a DVI to HDMI Cable. The picture looks beautiful but I can't seem to get the TV (Model DF42WE655) to completely fill in horizontally (it's perfect vertically) The display is set at 1024x576 now, but it makes no difference if I set it at 1280x720.
    I turned off "Overscan" in the settigngs to get the best fit so far,
    Any suggestions would be extremely helpful,
    Thanks,
    Rob

    I currently have a mac mini 1.42 running on a Sony KDF55WE655 with displayConfig X and love it. A friend wants to buy this for his sony and I would replace with the intel duo. I am having a hard time visualizing the exact screen appearance. Is there anyway to get someone to take a picture of the screen and post it online to see?
    Thanks

  • Connecting two monitors, keyboards etc to mac mini

    I would like to keep the mac mini connected to my tv in the living room, and use a bluetooth keyboard/mouse.
    At the same time, my wife would like the ability to use the macmini in the basement office (one level lower than the living room).
    Therefore ideally, I would like to have a permanent monitor etc downstairs connected to the macmini - my wife (understandably) won't be willing to disconnect and reconnect the mac mini every time she needs to work downstairs!
    Is there some bluetooth etc solution to this desire to run two monitors etc off of one mac mini. Obviously I am not suggesting we both try to use the computer at the same time.
    Thanks for your help.

    There is no inexpensive method for connecting a remote monitor wirelessly to a Mac mini. The range of Bluetooth probably won't allow reliable use of the keyboard and mouse downstairs. You would in all cases be better off just buying a second Mac mini for your wife's use, since you are already having to buy a second keyboard, mouse, and monitor anyway.

  • How best to connect multiple (not Apple) monitors to mac mini

    Hi all,
    I'm looking to purchase a Mac Mini and need some advice about setting up two non Apple monitors that have both HDMI & VGA ports.
    Can I use USB ports?
    If I connect one on the Thunderbolt and the other to the HDMI port will it work well?
    Can I connect two monitors through one HDMI or Thunderbolt port?
    Can I add other monitors later of I want to?
    Also what cables/adapters will I need.
    Thank you
    Drew    

    Connect one to the computer's HDMI port and the other to the Thunderbolt port using a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable or adapter

    <http://store.apple.com/us/product/H1824ZM/A/moshi-mini-dp-to-hdmi-adapter-with-a udio-support>
    It is possible to connect multiple displays to the HDMI port by using a HDMI splitter, but all will show the same picture.
    It is possible to connect two displays to the Thunderbolt port but at least one must be a Thunderbolt display, and you can't use the HDMI port.
    It is possible to connect extra displays via USB, but performance is limited

  • Connectivity Issue Between MacBook Pro and Mac Mini

    I have a MacBook Pro and a Mac Mini both with Yosemite 10.10.2, I've never had any issues with them sharing a connection when I was home, (I've never been able to connect outside of my home network) but I use the Mini to backup my MacBook Pro, but has of February 11th my MacBook Pro doesn't see my Mac Mini no matter what I do. I can share the screen from the Mini to the Book Pro but I can't remotely access the Mini from the MacBook Pro. I've turned off Back to My Mac on both Macs and removed it from my Airport Extreme and re-entered all of the information. I signed out of iCloud on both Macs and signed back in. I haven't changed any settings at all before I lost the connection, I am not sure how to resolve this issue.

    Hey there GRivera210,
    It sounds like you are having issues with using Back to my Mac. I would recommend using the troubleshooting outlined in the following article to help resolve the issue. It also has a contact for the iCloud support team if it doesnt resolve it:

  • Problem connecting Apple TV to my new Mac Mini iTunes libraries.

    I cannot appear to connect via Apple TV to my iTunes libraries on my new Mac Mini. My other iOS devices and MacBook Pro all connect up fine. I have two accounts on my Mac Mini. One is a shadow of my Macbook Pro account and the other is a family account. On the family account, I can see the Airplay icon on the top menu bar but all it gives is the option to open Display Preferences. When I go to my Apple TV on the family account, it attempts to load the iTunes library but hangs for a long time and then states it cannot connect to account. All my software is up-to-date and I have tried a full reset on my Apple TV. On my other account, I don't even get the Airplay icon.
    I am at a loss as to what is wrong.

    Let me clarify. The computer is on and so is Apple TV (home sharing is switched on both). On one user I see the Airplay mirroring icon (the same one that also appears on my MacBook Pro and my iPad and iPhone). Except that all I get is the "Open Display Preferences". Even in in the display preferences the AirPlay option is greyed out. I have tried resetting options on both the Apple TV and the Mac Mini but to no avail. If my other Apple devices weren't working then would think it was an Apple TV problem. however the problem seems to be in communication. As I said in my original post, the puzzling thing is that Apple TV know what iTunes library on the Mac Mini to connect (as it states it on the TV screen [and it is different to my MacBook Pro library]) and knows it exists but just won't connect to it.

  • How do I connect 5.1 Surround Speakers to Mac Mini?

    Hello, I was wondering if there is any way to connect my 5.1 speaker system (Creative SBS 560) to the mac mini. I tried googling but nothing helped.
    Is there any extensions I could use to get the full capacity of the speakers (using 5.1 instead of 2.1).
    I'm thinking of maybe the audio leads (front, rear, sub) to an optical cable (toslink). Not sure if there is such thing, but any alternative would help.
    I would be grateful if anyone could help me out.

    Apple provides the optical out for 5.1. You just need speakers with optical in - http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/speakersaudio/home_pcspeakers/devices/224&cl=us,en
    The other option is to attach a receiver to do the decoding to speakers like most of us do to turn it into a home theater.
    The only thing that would work with the Creative SBS 560's would be a dedicated decoder with some special adapters for the connectors - http://www.amabilidade2002.com/toslink.htm
