How do I use dual monitors on the latest mac mini?

What cable do I need to buy?
I'm still confused! I have two 23" Monitors with HDMI, DVi, & VGA.
Is this what I need?

Thank you in advance if you can please help me.

Sorry no, this one > Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter - Apple Store (U.S.) plugged into the combination Thunderbolt/Mini Display port and then a DVI-D cable to the monitor.

  • Using ADC Monitor with the new Mac Mini

    My husband has an Apple monitor with an ADC connection. I would like to purchase the new Mac Mini, but would like to use his current monitor. I know there is an ADC to DVI adapter, but the new Mac Mini uses the Mini Display...could I use yet another adapter? I am trying to save money, but don't want to the display quality to be really poor. Space is not an issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I have located that, but my concern is the DVI connection to the Mini Display connection on the Mac Mini. My understanding is that they are different.

  • Will a external Apple iSight work with the latest Mac Mini?

    with a firewire 400-800 if it will what software do i need to take pictures and videos.
    Many Thanks

    Will a external apple isight work with the latest mac mini.
    Yes (if the external iSight works.)
    External iSights are great webcams, but they are getting old (as consumer electronics go) and some have had pretty rough treatment. You can test yours using the suggestions from this page:
      http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage4.html
    I suggest you disconnect other Firewire devices until you get your external iSight working with your mini.
    If you do not already have an external iSight and are considering buying one now,
    a new webcam (with warranty) may be a better choice.
    Many available alternatives are listed here: http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/

    Use one of the following ways to connect your FW400 external iSight to a FW800 Mac port:
    • To use the FW400 6pin-6pin cable that comes with iSight, you can use a 6pin-9pin adapter
      like one of these:

    • Some report that this low-priced alternative cable works:
      http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812189097
    I suggest you disconnect other Firewire devices until you get external iSight working with your mini. Once iSight works when it is the only FW connected device, you can try connecting other Firewire devices to determine whehter you can use any of them without conflict.
    ... if it will what software do i need to take pictures and videos.
    With your 10.6.3 mini, you can use QuickTime X, iChat, Photo Booth, iMovie, and some of the other apps that are installed with OS X. Your Mac's Help for each of these apps can tell you how to use them with iSight (or other connected cameras.)
    Some more apps you can use are shown in this list:

    The web links for each app gives details on what functions is offers with your webcam.

  • 3 Monitors possible from Latest Mac Mini 2011

    Hi,
    Now the 2011 Mac mini has thunderbolt and only the air uses the lower end thunderbolt chip does this mean the thunberbolt on the mini supports dual displays (diasy chaining) and also a display from the HDMI totalling 3 displays?
    I ask because I have a PC with 3x 1680x01050 DVI displays and I'm looking for a way to hook this up to a mac;
    What we really need is one of those USB->DVI but over thunderbolt instead; that way there wouldn't be any lag like there is with USB?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    The new Mac mini does support daisy-chaining two Apple Thunderbolt Cinema Displays. It also has a built-in HDMI connection. You could in theory have two Apple Thunderbolt Cinema Displays plus a generic DVI display on the HDMI port (the new Mac mini includes a HDMI to DVI adapter). You cannot diasy-chain a generic DVI display on any computer.
    If you want to use three generic DVI displays the only way would be to use
    Mini Displayport to DVI adapter for display 1
    HDMI to DVI adapter for display 2
    USB (Displaylink) adapter for display 3

  • I would like to use my early 2008 imac as an external monitor in the 2012 mac mini

    I would like to use my early 2008 imac (MB325LL/A) as an external monitor for the late 2012 mac mini,(not ordered yet). Is this possible in any manner? The iMac utilizes mini-DVI output, thus my hopes are not too good.

  • How to recover using lion recovery disk assistant IN MAC MINI

    how to recover using lion recovery disk assistant IF MY KEYBOARD AND MOUSE DOEST NOT WORK DURING BOOTING ?

    Hello:
    If my memory serves me correctly, the licence agreement that comes with a new system indicates that is good for one system....
    Also, I do not think that something that would boot one type of processor would work on a different type.

  • Can I run OS X 10.6 on the latest Mac Mini?

    I am in the middle of a Digidesign Protools ver. 8.05 audio project running on a  Mac Mini (2007 vintage) and it has become less than reliable (Combo drive has died, sometimes no 'chimes' and just grey screen... doesn't boot).
    I am looking to replace it with another Mac Mini (to fit in present work space) and have been trying to find a mid-2010 version (last Mini with Super Drive).
    Failing that... I need a Mini that runs OSX 10.6x so that my version of Protools will run.
    My question is:  The latest Mini's come with OSX 10.7 (Lion)... will they run OSX 10.68???
    Thanks for any assistance.

    If you are prepared to plough through this mega-thread, jump through hoops and stand on your head you might just get a result of a sort.
    On the other hand it would seem more sensible to listen to Roger's advice.

  • How do I use multiple accounts on the same Mac with Apple TV2?

    I have home sharing turned on in two separate accounts on a single MacPro.  When I am logged into both accounts, I can see both accounts' iTunes Libraries available in the AppleTV2.  However, when I try to open each account iTunes Library in the AppleTV2, only one account will open (whichever one I logged into first).  (In other words, I log into Account1 then open iTunes with Home Sharing On, then log into Account2 (while Account1 is still logged on), open iTunes with Home Sharing On. AppleTV2 shows Account1 Library and Account2 Library under Computers, but will only load Account1 Library.  Account2 Library will just cause AppleTV2 to search for the Library then give an error.)  How come AppleTV2 can see both Libraries but will only open one Library?  How can I fix this?
    Thanks,
    zpockets

    Thank you for replying.  Both of the accounts are Admin accounts.  The Libraries are kept in the user/music/itunes/itunes media folder on each account.  However, I do use multiple iTunes Libraries on my Account1.  One of the Libraries I use in Account1 is on a separate internal HD.  However, the other Libraries I use in Account1 are stored in user/music/itunes/itunes media folder on the main HD (which hosts both Account1 and Account2).  It doesn't seem to matter whether I am using an iTunes Library on an external drive or the main drive in Account1, I still get the same problem: only account1 library will load.  AppleTV sees that the Account2 Library is there, but it won't load it.

  • I just bought the latest Mac mini i5 but every time I try to transfer my files from time machine back-up of my mini mid 2011 model I always come up with some sort of problem?

    I am so fed up with using time machine to restore my files from my previous mini. I have tried several different ways and every time there is some sort of problem. I just want to restore it back to the original setting and manually reinstall my  personal software. My question is: Is it better to reinstall osx using the recovery drive or downloaded from the app store. Also if you have already reinstalled from the app store does that effect the recovery drive?

    It does not make any difference it you reinstall from recovery partition or app store since in either case the OSX install files are downloaded from Apple servers.
    What problems (error message?) are you gettng whenb trying to restore form TM?

  • I have 12 core with Quatro 4000 and 5770, I want to use dual monitor setup, monitors are NEC with Spectraview-II.  How do I connect?  4000 only has 1 Display Port and 1 DVI.  5770 has 2 of each, if I use both 5770 Display Ports, does the 4000 contribute?

    I just bought a 12 core with Quatro 4000 and 5770, I want to use dual monitor setup, monitors are NEC with Spectraview-II.  How do I connect?  4000 only has 1 Display Port and 1 DVI.  5770 has 2 of each, if I use both 5770 Display Ports, does the 4000 contribute any work at all?  I read where on a PC they would work together, but on a MAC they do not.
    I read that Display Port has higher band width than DVI, NEC monitors for best performance they recommend using DIsplay Port.
    When I was setting this up I looked at a Nvidia Quadro 4000, unfortunately it was for PC, it had 2 Display Ports, in the Mac version they reduce it to one.  I did not think there could be a difference.
    Mainly want to use it for CS6 and LR4.
    How to proceed??? 
    I do not want to use the Quadro 4000 for both, that would not optimize both monitors, one DP and 1 DVI.  Using just the 5770 would work but I do not think the 4000 would be doing anything, and the 5770 has been replaced by the 5870.more bandwidth.
    Any ideas, I am a Mac newbie, have not ever tried a Mac Pro, just bought off ebay and now I have these problems.
    As a last resort I could sell both and get a 5870.  That would work, I'm sure of that, it's just that I wanted the better graphics card.
    Thanks,
    Bill

    The Hatter,
    I am a novice at Mac so I read all I can.  From what I understand the NEC monitors I bought require Display Port for their maximum performance.  The GTX 680 only has DVI outputs.  Difference from what I understand is larger bandwidth with the DP.
    You said I have the 4000 for CUDA.  I am not all that familiar with CUDA and when I do read about it I do not understand it. 
    A concern I have is, that if I connect the 2 high end NEC monitors via the 5770, using it's 2 Display Ports I would have nothing connected to the 4000.  Is the 4000 doing anything with nothing connected?  I read where in a PC system the 2 cards would interact but in a Mac system they do not.
    Bottom line, as I see it, the 4000 will not be useful at all to me, since I want a dual monitor set-up.
    So far the 5870 seems the best choice, higher band width than the 5770, and it has 2 Display Ports to optimize the NEC monitors.
    I'm not sure how fine I am splitting hairs, nor do I know how important those hairs are.  I am just trying to set up a really fast reliable system that will mainly be used for CS6 and LR4.  Those NEC monitors are supposed to be top notch.
