External speakers for Mac Mini

I am new to this.
What adapter do I need to use some Imac Flat Panel G4 speakers with my mini? They are Pro Speakers.
Another topic- is there a download to make my HP 880c printer operable with this mini?
thanks

I did a search for you and HP is not developing a driver for your printer and Snow Leopard:

I don't know about the speakers. What kind of connector do they use? Maybe an iMic from Griffin will work:

  • External HD for Mac mini

    Hi there.
    I'm looking for an external HD for my mini, 250GB will be ok.
    I saw the LaCie, Iomega and the Ministack and was wondering if some of you have experience with any of these or know better ones. Another question is are the LaCie and Iomega 3.5" [that makes them faster doesn't it?].
    Any recommandation welcome thanx in advance, Rob.

    I suppose you're asking about the LaCie Mini and Iomega (is it MiniMax) drives ?
    As far as I know, all these drives carry 7200 rpm, 3.5" drives, which makes them faster than the Mini's internal (4200 or - maybe - 5400 rpm, 2.5").
    Personally, I chose to get a standard external HD (LaCie d2, 250 GB, 7200 rpm, 3.5", 8 MB cache - I think the new models come with "at least 8 MB of cache", which means some models come with a 16 MB cache that makes them even faster) because, even though the Mini-clone hard drives are faster than the Mini's internal (typical spec. 34-35 MB per second - maximum sustained data transfer rate), the standard ones are even faster (mine is supposed to reach 40 MB per second). When booting off that drive, the difference in speed, when compared to the internal, is substantial. I have never tried a LaCie Mini or similar drive, so I can't tell you if my drive is really faster or if I "wasted" my money. However, I'm really happy with it.
    Apart from the Iomega and the LaCie, which come from reputable brands and should serve you well, there are other similar drives, such as MacWay's Mini Partner or Micronet's (not to be confused with Micromat > TechTool) Mini Mate, which have pretty much the same functionality, but also act as FireWire/USB 2 hubs. Don't know where you can get them, but if you are in the US it shouldn't be too complicated.
    Hope this helps.

  • No sound from external speakers on mac mini  late 2012 since installing more ram

    Hello folks,
    I have just added 16 Gb of ram to my new Mac Mini now for some reason i cant get the external speakers to work, the internal one is fine? I have checked the external speakers on my netbook where they work fine. As i have only had my Mac a littlle while I am not sure if the external speaker was working before the ram upgrade.
    On the System Preferences there is no external speaker option only internal?
    Everything else is working fine,
    Any help form the Community will be much appreciated.

    your connection might be faulty try jiggling it or twisting it gently while in the headphone jack.
    I stress gently since there are optical outputs in it that you don't want to scratch. if you want true surround get a receiver that supports sound through hdmi or Toslink optical Audio, the latter I know your imac supports.

  • Compatible external displays for Mac Mini

    I just purchased the Mac Mini (Mid 2010 Build) and would like to use an external display aside from the displays sold at the Apple Store.
    What are the compatible displays (monitors) for the Mac Mini (Mid 2010 Build)?
    With these compatible displays, what connection wires are necessary?

    Pretty much any display with HDMI input should be supported. The mini should have come with an HDMI to DVI adapter, so you can also use it with most DVI equipped displays. You can buy an adapter from mini Displayport to VGA, which would allow you to support most VGA displays, but is more likely to have compatibility issues, especially if you use older, 4:3 aspect ratio displays.

  • External drive for Mac Mini !

    Does  the new Mac mini work with any other third party external Drives? Or must it by all means be a MacBook Air external drive?

  • External Superdrive for Mac mini?

    Recently I got a disc stuck in the drive of my mini and for the life of me I can't get it out so...I was wondering if they make an external Superdrive that will work with the mini. I had a look at the website and found one that says its for the macbook air, would that one work?Thanks in advance.

    Speaking for myself, I typically offer links to that vendor because they have Mac, and system specific, solutions which helps with a level of confidence that the problem is more likely than not to be solved. My personal experience with them as a vendor has born that out.
    That said, there are other competent vendors out there too who also offer good service and stand by their products, so it's up to you who you use. The only thing that encourages me to OWC is that if you buy something they are offering as a viable upgrade or add-on to your mini and it proves otherwise, they'll resolve the problem.

  • What are some good choices for Mac Mini Speakers?

    Hi All....
    I have recently purchased a new Mac Mini (i7 Quad Core 2.3 Ghz) and was wondering what a good choice (and cool choice) for Mac Mini speakers.  I have the Harmon Kardon 2.1 speakers which are EXCELLENT but for some reason I'm having trouble getting it to work with the Mini.  Any suggestions or ways to get the Harmon Kardon's working with it???
    Thanks ahead!!

    Ooops...  Hit the "solved" button by mistake!  hehhee....
    Anyway....  I also have a Mac Pro DualQuadCore2.8Ghz....  Which it works with but for some reason I can't get it to work with the Mini.  I'm temporarily using a small iHome speaker in the 3.5 jack.  I don't think the HK SoundSticks have a 3.5 jack....  Just USB.  But I'm still sorting through a ton of cables, plugs and wires... 

  • Suggest me a usb sound card for mac mini

    please suggest me a usb sound card for mac mini (i need 5.1 sound)

    The Griffin Technology FireWave will give you the 3 'cables' ("FireWave outputs six channel audio through three 1/8” (3.5mm) stereo mini-jacks: Left/Right, Center/Subwoofer and Right Surround/Left Surround.") connection for surround sound (speakers) audio. Whether or not a particular headphone set is compatible, you might ask Griffin directly about that. If you're playing a DVD with VLC or the Apple DVD Player, you will get surround sound. But, you'd have to find an MP3 with multi-channel audio inside it to play surround sound out of iTunes.

  • Audio - connecting surround sound speakers to mac mini

    I have a PC surround sound sytem, 4 speakers and a subwoofer, that I would like to connect to the Mac Mini. There is a left and and right cable that I previously plugged into my computer's sound card.
    Any suggestions as to how to connect the speakers?
    mac mini    

    Hi there,
    First of all, which Mac Mini do you have? A G4 or Intel? Does your PC surround sound system accept a digital input?
    From gathering what you wrote, if the speakers only accept a left and right cable, then it is not a true surround sound system. You'd simply need a cable that splits the sound system into the left and right inputs such as this:
    http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103865&cp=&origkw=audioy+adapter&kw=audio+yadapter&parentPage=search
    Hook this up to your audio output (or headphone jack) and you are all set for stereo output only.

  • Advice on External HDD for Mac & Windows

    Hello
    I am looking for advice regarding using a external HHD for Mac & Windows.
    I searched the forum, but failed to find a updated thread on this subject matter.
    I will be using the drive on both platforms regularly.
    Should i use HFS+ with a small FAT32 partition to keep MacDrive on?
    What is a good way to approach this?
    Im not sure what would be optimal for both platforms.
    Thanks in advance for your input.

    Why just one?
    Shopping list I can think of:
    Vista: NTFS for backups and storage. Can be read by, but not written, Mac OS.
    MacDrive 7: can access HFS+ from within Windows (but not x64 versions)
    WinClone 1.5: to make backups of Windows from within Mac OS (requires disk image or partition to hold volume image)
    SuperDuper: essential for OS X backups and bootable clone.
    A drive that is used for emergency only and maybe backup partition, separate from your OS X and windows clone drive.
    You can create large partitions with Disk Utility to be FAT32. Read and write in both, but not the best file system and limited to files less than 4GB.
    FW800 would be fast and efficient interface. Also, eSATA if possible.

  • Formatted External drive for Mac OS extended

    Hi,
    I actually change from windows to Mac (no comparison...!!) but trying to transfer my photos (Pictures in finder) to an external hard disk i can`t drag and drop and i do not know why....i read in one forume that i have to formatted the external drive for Mac OS extended. First question: how could i do that? if my hard disk was originally formatted for windows, do i lose the info when i formatted?
    Thanks!!

    You will lose the files on the HD when you reformat it.  So copy what you want off the drive to a folder on your Mac temporarily. 
    select the HD on the Desktop and launch Disk Utility.
    select the HD in the left hand page of DU.
    click on the Partiton button
    select 1 Partition
    select OS X Extended (journaled) in the drop down Format menu.
    click on the Apply button
    drag the folder of files onto the EHD to copy back and then delete from your Mac's drive after verifying that they all copied back successfully.

  • I have an external hardrive for MAC, I needed to save something from my work computer so I can pass it on to my MAC, it requiered me to re-format my external HD and now when I connected to my MAC I only have "read only rights". How do I fix it?

    I have an external hardrive for MAC, I needed to save something from my work computer so I can pass it on to my MAC, it requiered me to re-format my external HD and now when I connected to my MAC I only have "read only rights". How do I fix it? I run my Itnues from this external and now my library is gone. Luckily I have it saved somewhere else, which is not a problem, but I won't be able to write to this HD for right now. I can't see an option to give those permission back.

    Unless what you have to transfer is enormous, skip the external HD altogether and use a USB flash drive; you can get them with capacities to 128GB. Format the flash drive as FAT32 or ExFAT as LowLuster suggests so it can be read and written to on both PC's and your Mac.

  • How do I adjust display resolution for Mac Mini?

    How do I adjust display resolution for Mac Mini? Text does not look crisp.  Using Samsung 27 inch monitor with HDMI input

    Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Displays. Depending on your version of Mac OS X, it may be set for "Best for Display" in which case it should already be set at the optimum for your monitor, or it may display resolution options in which case you should set it for the native resolution of your display.
    Regards.

  • Should I necessarily use an external hard "for mac" to get a backup from my macbook?

    I want to get a backup from my macbook pro using the time machine. Should I necessarily use an external hard "for mac" to get a backup from my macbook? Because I have an external hard, but its not for mac. Is there any way I can use this one?

    You can use the external drive you want with your Mac. However, the "for Mac" external drives come prepared to connect them and start using them, and probably you will have to do some additional steps with your external drive.
    First, you will have to format the external drive with "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)", the only filesystem compatible with OS X. If you have got files on the external drive, you have to copy them to your Mac before erasing the drive. Then, follow these steps to format the external drive with "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" > http://pondini.org/TM/5.html
    Then, to use Time Machine, open System Preferences > Time Machine > Select Disk, and choose your external drive, so your Mac will start making backups to your external drive
