I have a new MAC MINI and I want to install a second monitor. I have one connected to the HDMI and it works. I can't get a signal to the other one. It is connected from the thunderbolt to its HDMI port. How can I make it work?
Could be a bad cable or bad Thunderbolt port.
You have 90 days of free telephone support on a new device. You can call them at 1-800-MY-APPLE. Have your Mini's serial number handy
You can also make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Hello, from across the Chesapeake Bay!
Check Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Displays.

I have a new Mac Mini and a 7 year old Mac monitor. The connectors dont match. What to do?
I suspect the monitor has an ADC connector

If so you need one of these:

I have a 2009 Mac mini and the wireless card has never worked, would I be able to cover it with my three year extended warranty?

If you mean AppleCare, then I would believe the answer will be yes.
First make sure you have a full backup of everything on your Mac, then run, don't walk to your nearest Apple store.
Note: Due to your Mac now being in computer years, somewhat elderly, Apple may not have the require parts in stock. This will either mean you might have to leave it with them for a number of days, or maybe they will offer you a new Mac mini. While a new Mac mini (if offered) might be a welcome possibility be aware that the new Mac mini no longer has a CD/DVD drive and it comes with Mac OS X Lion and as a result might not run some of your old software. -
I have a new Mac mini- changed from Windows XP. I have a peculiar problem. I use an Acer monitorwith the Mac which works fine when the Mac is 'un-sleeped'. But, if I have shutdown the Mac the Acer does not recognisethe start up - at least it shows nothing on screen. When I have shut down - nowknowing the problem, I use an old Samsung monitor to cope with the start up -it does so fine - and then put the Mac to 'sleep', then change monitors andrestart the Mac - the Acer is now fine. I am using the same cables for theSamsung and the Acer. The Acer had no problems with my old Windows system -from sleep or shut down. I really do not think there is anything wrong with theAcer - could it be some sort of recognition problem? Please can anyone assist.Donald Picton
I posted the same question a day ago with no response. I'm using an Acer x193w. You actually don't have to switch monitors to get it to work. Just make sure you turn off the monitor after shutting down the Mac mini (actually push the power button on the monitor, not just let it go to sleep). If you turn on the monitor (push the power button on the monitor), then power up the Mac mini, the monitor is recognized. The issue didnt exist with Snow Leopard for me. It only started after I started using Lion. Hope this issue gets fixed In a future OS update.

I have a new Mac Mini, and I want to send raw video...
I have a new Mac Mini (Lion), and I want to send raw video to the Internet, using Ustream, Skype or other services. I don't need cameras, microphones, or other periphrals. My video consists of 1 volt composite (from a video switcher), and the audio is full stereo at 600 ohm line level on each channel. What do I need?
I have a video capture card on my Windows machine; but the results have been crappy at best. And the so-called "Geek Squad" at Best Buy (where I bought the Mac Mini) have been less than helpfull. Further, the on-line Apple Store shows nothing. Maybe someone here has an idea.You are going to need a video capture device of some sort and I believe the following will be suitable.

It is available in the US as well http://www.elgato.com/elgato/na/mainmenu/products/Video-Capture/product1.en.html -
Can anyone tell me how to tranfer the music that is on my Shuffle to iTunes? When I go to Sync it, it gives me a warning that all the music on my Shuffle will be deleted and replaced with what is on my iTunes. I recently changed computers from an HP to a Mac-Mini and did not transfer/sync the itunes prior to getting rid of my itunes. So the music I had on itunes does not appear in my library. Help please!
See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your new Mac and into iTunes.
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
Then proceed to do the Erase and Sync or restore the device.

I have an early 2006 intel core solo Mac Mini (locted in India) and need to connect it to a VGA display. I have looked at the support articles but can't figure out what adapter to use.
There was a DVI to VGA adapter included with the early 2006 mini. The one that I have looks like this
You should be able to buy one, although it's not currently listed in the US Apple online store. -
I have a mac mini, late 2012. I need to be able to submit online documents in APA style and as a MSWord document. Can I do this using pages or another app??
In addition to what lllaass wrote, I would add that you keep it simple, that is, keep to APA 6 formatting requirements, but watch use of bullets, as well as insertion of figures or charts. It also might help if you had access to MS Office for Windows to open up your file before uploading to confirm that what you wrote in Pages is what the 'reader' on the other sees.

I have a new Mini and updated software. My monitor will keep flashing back and forth, shrinking the display and not allowing me to work. Sometimes clicking the mouse helps, sometimes clicking into the screen but it freezes up and won't allow me to work. Is this a monitor problem or is there some bug in my system.
Try just holding down on the power and home buttons to restart it. Thomas R. doesnt know what he was talking about. The tool is not made for jailbraeking and is not related to jailbreaking. If you want to get the link again, let me know, as I reapir iPhones, have been using it for years, nad it does NOT void your warranty. It simply reboots your device.
My apologies for all of the new people on this site who are novices to anything beyond iTunes or the device itself. Hopefuly your problem is solved. -
HT1338 I have a new mac mini and cannot download mountain lion from apps store gives error
I have a new 3rd gen i5 intel mini mac and it wont' download ML from app store it gives the error
We could not complete your purchase. OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer.
I want to reinstall it for its running to slow and add only what I need.
it installs on my older mac miniAssuming your mini came with ML installed and you have already made a backup of your personal data, restart the computer while also holding down 'Command-Opt-R' and it should reinstall automagically from Apple's servers.

Can anyone help please. I have just downloads the numbers app. I have a very large document of which i need to send a separate sheet each week as an attachment via email. Can this be done?. Sadly, I am used to Neo and that was rather easy to do. I could not find the answer for excell either! Surely, saving each sheet separately is not the only answer.
File > Print
set the print range "From " = 1, "To" = 1 in the print dialog, then
click the "PDF" button the bottom left and select "Mail PDF"
If you must send a Numbers document, then I think I would copy the germane content into a new document and save as the current month (or week), then attach that document.
