Connect Apple 17" Display to Mac mini?

I am hoping to get rid of my old (ish) 17" Apple Display to a friend who has a Mac mini but not sure if they are compatible. I'm sure there must be some kind of connection but don't really know what to look for!!

No, that adapter (and the many others like it) are for connecting a DVI display to an ACD port on a video card such as used on many G4 and G5 powermacs, amongst other systems.
To use an Apple studio or cinema display with ADC connector with a system which has DVI output (such as the mini), it's necessary to use a device such as Apple's part number M8661LL/B, which is typically $99, but if you search, can sometimes be had for a little less from some suppliers.

  • 30-inch Apple Cinema Display on Mac Mini 2010

    I recently went around to look for a 30-inch Apple Cinema Display. I found out that if I use it with the new Mac Mini 2010, the resolution is somewhat pixelized. From what I know the Mac Mini's Mini DisplayPort supports for up to 2560-by-1600 resolution.
    Base on the 30-inch max resolution, its 2560 x 1600. Did I get this right?

    Did I get this right?
    Yes, if you're using a dual-link DVI adaptor. If you're using a single-link one, the maximum resolution on a 30-inch display is 1280 by 800.
    If you're using a dual-link DVI connection at the correct resolution, check the Zoom setting in the Universal Access and Keyboard & Mouse panes of System Preferences.

  • Can i connect my iMac to a mac mini (wirelessly) and control the mac mini display on my TV?

    Can i connect my iMac to a mac mini (wirelessly) and control the mac mini display on my TV?

    Look up "screen sharing" in help
    You can control your mini (which I am assuming you are hooking to your TV) complete from your iMac.
    After you set up screen sharing, you can go to the finder, under the "go" menu choose "Connect to server" and then browse.  Choose your mac mini's name, and look for the "Screen Sharing" button.
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then 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 Users & Groups 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 then 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.

  • 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

  • Dual Displays with Mac Mini

    Hi,
    I have 2 identical BENQ G2420HDB (24") displays, and am looking at getting a new desktop computer. My thought was to go with the Mac Mini but I need to ensure compatibility.
    Currently one is plugged into my Mac Book Pro 2.33 (one of the first Duo Core 2) and it reports a natural resolution of 1920x1080 (Normal HD), and wish to use both displays with the new computer. Will a Mac Mini support both monitors as extended desktop in this resolution? If so what adapters (if any) do I need to buy with the Mac Mini? The inputs on the monitors are: DVI, VGA. Is there an minimum model of Mac Mini that I would need to get?
    Thanks,
    Michelle

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    The Mac mini has two video ports; mini-DVI and mini-DisplayPort. The mini ships with an Apple mini-DVI to DVI-D adapter. You could also purchase a mini-DisplayPort to DVI-D adapter and then use DVI-D cables to connect the adapters to your displays' DVI-D ports. This setup can support up to 1920 x 1200 pixels, and can be configured in extended desktop mode.

    yes.
    connect monitor #1 with the Mini DVI to DVI adapter (should have come with your Mini)
    connect monitor #2 with the mini-displayport to DVI adapter (needs to be procured separately)

  • Can I connect  my iMac to my mac mini??

    I have the new 27 inch imac with thunderbolt, and I want to connect it to my new mac mini in my media closet. I was windering if there is a way to do this. The purpose of my mac mini is strictly as a media server, and all of my work and media are done on my imac and stored on external storage devices in my media closet. I want to be able to share my media and applications directly with the mac mini. The only monitor I have for the mac mini is the iMac itself. Can I not run the mac mini on the iMac??

    you should be able to use the iMac's screen (27" model) with another computer, using DisplayPort.
    I'm not sure what you mean by "sharing applications", that's not usually possible.

  • Apple and the1.5GHz Mac mini (2005)

    Does anyone know why Apple hasn't officially told customers about the 1.5GHz Mac mini (G4) until they find out about it themselves by buying a Mac mini "1.42GHz" and discovering that it is actually 1.5GHz. Has Apple ever mentioned a 1.5GHz Mac mini (2005)?

    Hope you appreciate this, it took a while to dig it out.
    Macworld December 2005 page 26 News In Brief:
    "Apple Secretly Bumps Up Mac Mini"
    "In response to reports on the internet that some users who purchased a 1.42 GHz Mac Mini received a 1.5 GHz system instead. Apple confirmed that "some Mac Mini systems may contain components that slightly exceed the published specifications. There are no changes to the published specifications or part numbers." "
    FYI We got a 1.5GHz Mini at the beginning of November '05
