Connecting MIDI keyboard to Mac Mini

Are there cables available to connect a MIDI keyboard to the Mac Mini either via USB or Fireware? Or is there an adapter that goes MIDI to one of the said ports?
Thanks!

Connecting Logitech Z5500 to Mac Mini or to Airport?

All,
I have this cable on order (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002JFN1A/ref=pe_385040_30332190_TE_M3T1_ST1_dp_1) to connect my Logitech Z-5500 to my system.
Should I connect it to my Mac Mini, or to my Airport Time Capsule?
Airport: I can stream media from other devices
Mini: Avoid any lag for audio and video with FaceTime, etc.?
Maybe 6 of one, half dozen of another, but thought I'd ask.
Thanks!

ok, my problem is solved ... I was able to get the display up by unplugging the hdmi cable from the mac mini, then letting it boot up, then plugging the cable back in ... finally could see the desktop, then reset my display settings to get rid of underscanning - which I had set up the day before so I could see my top menu bar - then set my tv's aspect adjustment to HD Size 2 (which had the same effect as underscanning ... and now I get the display up when start my mac mini ... however, I do notice some fine granularity in my display now (when white windows are opened for example), but I'll deal with that later if it's a real problem ... took hours of research to figure this out ... phew ...

I'm having trouble connecting Brother DCP197c to Mac Mini - it worked before Yosemite

I'm having trouble connecting Brother DCP197c to Mac Mini - it worked before Yosemite.
I have downloaded drivers from Brother
I have tried searching for the printer once the drivers have been installed, but nothing...
Not sure what else to do - any helpful suggestions are welcome.
Thank you

I tried the Reset Printer option - it didn't work at first but then I decided to download the drivers again... and now all is fine and dandy.
Thanks for your help

Mountain Lion appears to break VNC connection to a headless mac mini.

I connect to my headless mac mini with VNC. Under lion this worked perfectly. With Mountain Lion on my mac mini I can connect but many windows do not update properly. If I connect an external display to the mac mini all is well again. Any solutions?

I use splashtop.
Able to reach iPad resolution when i connect to my iPad, when the splashtop session ends, it drops back to 800x600.
Maybe you could try it out and see if splashtop helps expand to 2560 x 1600.

Connecting Shuffle (4thG) to Mac mini: Keyboard non-responsive

I got a brand new 4th Generation Ipod Shuffle.
When I connect it (USB) to my Mac mini (2008), the wired aluminum Mac USB keyboard no longer responds. Disconnecting the shuffle returns the keyboard to normal function.
I have Snow Leopard (10.6.8), iTunes 10.6.1(7).
Is this a limitation of the Mac mini? Do some of the USB ports "share" power, and will isolating the Shuffle to an unshared port resolve this? (I don't know which might be shared...)
thanks,
JIm

The hubs in keyboards are passive hubs (drawing power from the USB port at the end of the chain). Sometimes attaching power hungry devices to them causes problems.
Plug the iPod directly into a USB port on the Mini. If it's inconvenient, use a USB extender cable. If you don't have any more free ports, then you want to use a powered hub -- one that has a brick to supply power to hub, not draw it from the USB bus.

Target Display Mode iMac 27 mid 2011 with Mac Mini 2011 bootcamp

Hello,
I can't seem to use Target Display Mode with Bootcamp.
My configuration:
Imac 27" mid 2011 with osx 10.8.4
Mac Mini Server 2011 with osx 10.8.4, bootcamp 5 and Windows7
Both are connected via Apple genuine Thunderbolt cable (2m).
When I boot the Mac Mini into OSX then Target Display Mode works perfectly and I can see the osx installed on the Mac Mini on the iMac display.
However, when I reboot the Mac Mini into Bootcamp (windows7 x64) I can't put the iMac in Targt Display Mode and get to see Windows 7 on my iMac screen.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3924#8
The following article says that this should work, however once I reboot osx on the Mac Mini the iMac leaves Target Display Mode immediatly and will not return to Target Display Mode.
Any advice? I contacted Apple Support and a Sr. Enginner said it should be supported and he's checking with a higher tier.
Thanks

Yes, it does.

How to connect Yahama keyboard to mac to use in Logic but drive not working

I am trying to connect a keyboard using a midi interface to my MAC. I have installed the most recent drivers from the Yahama website and it's still not working. When I go into Audo midi set up the icon for the keyboard is there but it is grayed out. Can anyone help

Hey ChEmWen - I worked it out! I think I had the same problem as you, and the first driver I download didn't work. It took some more searching, you need to download the CORRECT for your OS driver from
here:
http://download.yamaha.com/usb_midi/
I sent YAMAHA a message on their facebook support letting them know of their problem:
Hey, I worked it out, I had downloaded the wrong driver for my OS. I think you need to update this page:
http://download.yamaha.com/search/detail/?1400890058...
So that users are ACTUALLY directed to download from HERE:
http://download.yamaha.com/usb_midi/
I only managed to find the CORRECT driver by doing a more thorough google search.
Anyway I hope this helps!!! Cheers.

Apple Wireless Keyboard on Mac Mini Core Solo CANNOT be found !

Hi,
My Apple Wireless Keyboard (non-aluminum)was working perfectly with my Mac Mini core Solo. I had to change the battery and after that I cannot connect to my Mac Mini.
I tried:
1. Update the Bluetooth software (from the downloads from Apple.com).
2. Remove all the keyboard definitions in the System Preferences, Bluetooth.
3. When I try to connect by selecting Keyboard in the Bluetooth Assistant, I won't get any device.
4. When I try to connect to any device in the Bluetooth Assistent, I'll see the only Apple Wireless Keyboard I have, but then pairing failes.
5. Only by using a USB keyboard I could enter my MacMini.
Questions:
a. How all of a sudden this can't work ?
b. How to I "reset" the keyboard ?
c. What can I do ?
Thanks in advance.
Rokesh

i am having this exact same problem. Keyboard isnt seen if I select "Keyboard" in the bluetooth setup assistant, but if I select "Any Device" then after a moment "Apple Wireless Keyboard" shows up in the device list but it will refuse to pair, saying it doesnt have any configurable services.
Any tips or help would be greatly appreciated.

Mac mini server has suddenly stopped seeing one or the other bluetooth devices! Batteries have been changed and they will connect to an older Mac mini. Server will now only see one or the other but not both.

My Mac mini server has suddenly stopped seeing one or the other bluetooth devices, either the wireless keyboard or the mouse( both apple products) have tried new batteries, at first it was the mouse that stopped responding, but upon rebooting the computer now the keyboard will not respond and the mouse works. Both work fine on an older Mac mini that I hooked back up to check.

There is absolutely no reason why they should not bothe be able to connect to your WiFi network. The easiest place to start would be to reboot your router. Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in again. I would also restart both the iPad and the iPhone.

What adapter's do I need to connect existing hardware to Mac mini?

Hi, I have a friend who is thinking of buying a Mac mini to replace his existing Windows PC ... he has a screen, mouse and keyboard (of course) but I do not think any of them will connect directly to the mini ... his screen has a VGA connector and his keyboard and mouse both have PS/2 connectors ... can anyone suggest a way to connect these to the mini?
I have seen these adapters on Amazon ... http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000FII810/ref=s9asin_image_3?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0BFCGEB5PAQ1ANTDH3Y 8&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=139042391&pf_rdi=468294
and
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Manhattan-USB-port-PS-adapter/dp/B0007OWNXQ/ref=sr11?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1197024775&sr=1-1
Will these work? or is there a better way of doing it?
Thanks, Matt

Hi.
Regarding the DVI-VGA adapter, the Mac mini comes with one included, this one.
About the keyboard and mouse, those USB-PS/2 adapters are very tricky, and most times they even fail to work on Windows PCs, because many of the peripherals made with PS/2 connector don't have the necessary electronics to support the USB bus. I tried such adapter with several PS/2 keyboards and mice on laptops, and only one mouse worked. He may try, but I think it will not work. He will need a new USB keyboard and mouse.
Good Luck.

Trouble pairing bluetooth keyboard with mac mini

I bought a generic bluetooth keyboard and I am trying to use it with a Mac mini using 10.6.8. The bluetooth setup sees "Bluetooth Keyboard" and connects to it. I enter the passcode on the keyboard, but after about 25 seconds it says "The pairing attempt was unsuccessful. This configuration of Mac OS X and Bluetooth software could be invalid or unsupported." If I watch the bluetooth control panel during this process, it says it is connected and paired as soon as I hit "return" but then disappears when I get the message. I already tried trashing com.apple.bluetooth.plist and restarting. I made sure nothing was on top of the Mac, and turned off the WiFi on my router, but nothing helps.

Update: I tried to pair with my bluetooth cell phone. If I initiate the connection from the Mac, same thing. However, I was able to successfully pair and download pictures, if I initiate from the phone. ???

How to Connect my PC to Mac Mini Airport wirelessly?

This may be more of a PC question, but I'm trying to connect my PC laptop to my mac mini.
I turned on internet sharing on the Mini.
I can see my Airport wireless network on the PC, it says I'm connected.
I do not have a password enabled on the airport network.
The PC browser says it cannot find the server and will not load a webpage even though the wireless network connection window says I'm connected to my wireless network.
any ideas?

I would unplug the AirPort Express at this point and see if you can get the Internet sharing with the PC configured.
My Mac mini is connected to the internet by Ethernet cable to my ISP's gateway. I am sharing the Ethernet connection to two iPod Touches via AirPort from my Mac mini. These are the steps for internet sharing from Ethernet to AirPort. See if you have followed them correctly in configuring your kit.
1. In Sys Prefs/Sharing I highlighted Internet Sharing (do not check the box)
2. Share your connection from: Ethernet (from the dropdown menu)
3. To computers using: AirPort (check the little box)
4. Press the button AirPort Options...
5. Name your Network
6. I use Automatic for the channel
7. I encrypt my network using a 40-bit WEP key
8. For a non-Apple device you must use only a 5 alphanumeric character, 40-bit WEP password or only a 13 alphanumeric character 128-bit WEP password
9. Press OK
10. Check the box for Internet Sharing
11. Answer any dialog boxes that pop up
If everything on the Mac end is correct then the issue may lie with the PC since Windows is much more picky about how it is configured. Here is an article that may assist you in getting the PC correct;
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-share-the-internet-connection-between-your-m ac-and-a-pc/
Other things that you could try is to name your network with a short name without spaces, such as your Apple Discussions User Name. Also create WEP passwords of only 5 or 13 alphanumerics. Some also suggest an All Caps password.
