How do I connect speakers to my Mac Mini

I am a new Mac user switching from a PC and I am wondering if there is a way to connect my 5.1 surround sound system to the Mac Mini?

Yes. The audio in the HDMI signl suports 5.1
Force 5.1 out over HDMI

The headphone jack also supports optical out that you can input into a suitable audio device. This is what yo need to connect it to the Mini's hedphone jack

How do I connect a pc to mac mini lion server?

Have recently purchased a mac mini lion server and have had no problem connecting macs in a small office. However, I can't for the life of me figure out how to connect the 2 PC's in our office...
I am not an IT person - doing this with complete ignorance!
Any help much appreciated.
PS. I have enabled SMB on server, but still can't see the server on PC networks

Hi frustrated,
(I know what you mean...)
In any case, let me attempt to help you...
First of all, on the Lion Server machine (let's say this machine is named MyLionServer), open the Server app, click on File Sharing, and add the mount point you want to share. Let's call this mount point Drobo (just in case you have a Drobo attached to your Lion Server), but it could be any folder or disk attached to your Lion Server machine or on your local network. Edit the mount point share (highlight Drobo and click on pencil icon), and add the users (click + button and add the usernames) you wish to access the Drobo share, and how they access it (read only, read/write, etc.). Also make sure to check the "Share with Windows clients (SMB)" button. Click done and wait for the Server app to restart all of the file sharing servers.
Now for the Windows PC (I have just tested this myself on a PC running Windows XP Pro):
Click the "start" buttom, click "My Network Places". In the My Network Places panel, click on the "Add a network place" button. This brings up the "Add Network Place Wizard", highlight the "Choose another network location" and click "Next>". In the Internet or network address box, add the following: "\\MyLionServer\Drobo" (yes, I know the slashes are backwards from what you normally use in the MacOS - also, the name Windows wants may have only the first character capitalized, as in "\\Mylionserver\Drobo"), then click the "Next>" botton, then click the "Finish" button. The first time you perform this for the first share on your Lion Server, a window opens and asks for a username and password. Enter one of the usernames and passwords that you gave read/write access to in the File Sharing panel for the Drobo mount point on your Lion Server. This brings up a \\Mylionserver\Drobo window on your PC that is mounted to your Lion Server's Drobo.
Hope this helps,
Switon
P.S. As I said, I tried this out on my own PC as I was typing the instructions into this reply, and the above works for me. But I did it on Windows XP Pro on a 6 year old PC laptop, and all machines and Windows OSes are different, so it will probably require you to do something slightly different from what I described above unless you just happen to be using Windows XP also. Good luck.

How can I connect multiple devices to Mac mini display port? I need to connect a Canon 5D to my Mac and display the result on a VGA video projector. I am using mini hdmi to mini display for the camera. Can I connect the VGA to any other port?

Hi there I am connecting a Canon 5D to my laptop trying to use it as a webcam trough camtwist.
At the same time I need to output the streaming to a videoprojector.
The cam is connected to the mini display port do there is no port available for the VGA cable anymore.
Do I need to use a different port for the projector? Should I buy a video card?
Can't connect the camera via USB as that is too slow and it will freeze.
Many thanks for all your help
Best

How can I connect multiple speakers to the Mac Mini?

Just received and setup up my new Mac Mini (Dual-Core i7, 8GB memory, 750GB disk) with OS Lion. Still in newbie phase. I have a set of 3-way Boston Acoustic speakers (w/ subwoofer) from an old Gateway computer. Is there any way/adapter available to connect them to the Mac Mini in order to improve music played within iTunes. Appreciate your responses.

How can I boot and run my Mac Mini on my 12" PwrBk display using firewire?

How can I boot and run my Mac Mini on my 12" PwrBk display using firewire?

bwhit:
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
No reason why you should not be able to do it using Firewire Target Disk Mode. Here's what you do:
1. With both computers shut down connect both via firewire.
2. Startup the Mini and hold down "T" key immediately after chime.
3. Startup the PB and immediately after chime hold down Option key.
4. Select second HDD icon on the screen and click on the right pointing arrow.
5. Computer will boot from Mini's HDD.
Be sure to shut down PB completely before shutting down Mini.
Please do post back with an update or with further questions or comments.
Cheers

Hello, since nobdy else has replied...
Long shot, but...
Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there.

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.

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.

Connect dell s2240t to mac mini

The specs:

only lists Windows 8 as being compatible. Unless you can find drivers that support OSX, the touch feature will not work.
