I purchased a mac mini server and hope to connect my old G4 Cinema display to the mini.

Thought I'd try the Belkin ADC to DCI converter. Anyone know if this will work?

The problem is that power supply is not cheap. They run around $125 used.
A few are listed on amazon
http://www.amazon.com/Apple-M8661LL-Display-Adapter-4038234011420/dp/B00011KHT2
You can also find them on ebay.
The only thing is i can not confirm this works with the mini display port. In theory it should as it is just a monitor signal.

  • HT4413 To transfer everything from my Mac mini to a new Mac Pro do I need two displays? Once I have confirmed my mini is open while pressing T can I then disconnect my Cinema Display from the mini and connect it to the Pro to continue the transfer?

    Can I set up my Mac mini to transfer its contents to a new Mac Pro and then disconnect my Cinema Display and use it connected to the Pro to complete the transfer?  Do I actually need two displays to manage the transfer?

    It helps have 2 monitors, so that you can monitor data XFER, just my experience. If nothing else it allows you keep am eye on what is going on.

    I bought a MacBook Air and wish to communicate with old iMac G5 2003-5 (sorry can't remember the year). The screen on the iMac is blank and will not come on but the hard drive still works. Can anyone tell me the cable I need to with the iMac & how to do it. I have music and photos on the iMac I cannot access.
    Also, do I need to special CD/DVD external drive/burner to import music CD's into iTunes? I have tried and it keeps coming up with formatting problems.
    Many thanks. Jax

    I have looked for what you said and come up with these 2 cables. Are these the correct ones I need?

  • Just Bought New Mac Mini Server and Need Help on Migrating Old Single User

    This is for my home / home office The issue is I was unable to connect to my old computer using migration assistant for some reason, but I didn't want to go down a rabbit hole to figure it out.
    I would like to transfer all of my applications and prefs / settings to the new machine and I was thinking about using a synching program to do it so I wouldn't mess with the SL Server settings. I suppose I could do this manually but am concerned some hidden files or settings may not get moved properly. I am able to mount my old hard drive on the new mini so I just need a strategy. Thanks.

    Good question - my angst is subsiding as I type. I was concerned that my preferences and other application linked things like Application Support were the same as it was, but I suppose if I have to mess a bit with it upon opening or reinstalling a program is the worst thing that will happen. After going thru the list of programs I realize that like most people I regularly use about 15% of the things in my Applications folder. The biggest hassle is Adobe CS4 which I need to get reauthorized by Adobe and this could only have been solved if I de-authorized it before blowing out my earlier computer. Luckily that is worst issue I am encountering.

    I set up Raid on my Mac Mini Server and lost my Server software. It is not listed in my "purchased" apps. How can I get it w/o having to purchase it? Will my serial # be enough to show it is a mini server and under warrantee be enough to get it back?

    If it's not listed in Purchases, check that it's hidden, and if so, unhide it > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928 After that, go to Purchases and download OS X Server.
    If you can't download it, contact with the Mac App Store support > http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact

  • HT204350 I,m going to change my Mac mini server and time capsule at the same time what's the best way to transfer from both of my old machines

    I've just purchased a new Mac mini server and also a new time capsule is there any easy way to ghost or transfer the new machines at the same time or is it best to do one at a time?

    I have no direct experience transferring a TC and computer at the same time, but prudence tells me to do one, test to be sure it is correct only then do the other. It will take twice as long from process start to finish, but avoids any nasty surprises at process end. In close to 40 years experience, I have never seen a "crash conversion" (everything at the same time) that did not have at least one major disaster. I am sure it can happen but the odds are heavily against it. Patience is a virtue!

  • Mac Mini Server and Adobe Creative Suite

    I am looking for buying a new server and wonder if the Mac Mini with OSX Server is powerful enough.
    4 Intel based macs in the office, all working with the Adobe CS4 package creating a weekly newspaper.
    The client macs are mainly working with InDesign and Photoshop files. There is a heavy use of Bridge for seachings and Smart Folders. From InDesign we create PDFs based on InDesign Book (recompiling info from various InDesign docs into one PDF).
    Will the Mac Mini with OSX Server be powerful enough?
    We are currently working with a QNAP NAS Server with 2 500 gb discs mirroring, which aparently doesnt fulfill the needs.
    Anyone can recommend the Mac Mini OSX Server?

    Which QNAP are u using?
    Should be able to support 10 mac in an office like yours!
    A minimum TS 239 pro surely does the job.
    Why use mirroring in a QNAP NAS!? IT got great backup feature
    put the 2 drive in raid 0
    If not available onsite - Buy an external 2 TB used to backup the qnap daily or at least 3 times a week.
    In my office we work directly with the indesign files on the nas without any issue.
    If you will NOT be using all the features of mac os x server, its NOT worth the investment.
    When you say powerful enough what do you mean?:
    - Holding your files? any storage will do.
    - Functions and services like ICHAT, ICAL, ACL, WEB for a mac office, YES OS X Server is the thing you need.
    Also consider that as of now QNAP NAS does not offer any mean of being bind to LDAP. Even AD binding seems to be an issue, have a look on their discussion forum.
    Setting MAC OS X SERVER as PDC and trying to bind the QNAP to it is a kind of an issue requiring adequate human resource for config.
    Investing in the os x server now you will leave the QNAP on its own for file sharing, unless going through Global SAN, which, combine with Mac OS X server and QNAP/iscsi is a wonderful solution.
    Wonderful solution only if you Mac OS X Server machine have TWO Gigabit NIC and you switch support VLANS. So here surely not the mini, though still depend on the size of the files you work with.
    Then again you will need to rethink your Backup solution, may be going with combination of : CarbonCopyClonner, Automator and Ical.
    The Mini Server with a DAS will suit your need. Already in possession of a QNAP NAS I dont see a Mini Server and external FIREWIRE RAID box be a good investment unless you are of those kind of rich business who dont know that in madagascar woman are giving birth in the streets without any doctor, in jakarta children below 5 yr old are being left on their own to survive the streets…

  • Download iOS 8 once to Mac Mini Server and upgrade all iOS devices in the network

    Is it possible to download iOS8 only once to the Mac Mini Server and use it to upgrade all eligible iOS devices (iPhones and iPads) in the same LAN? 
    I tried the following methods and they are just not working:
    1. Connect an iPads Mini with Retina Display to the iTunes on Mac.  I chose Download Only. Once downloaded the iPad Software Upgrade, I upgraded the connected iPad to iOS8.  Then I connect another iPad (used to be on another Mac) to the same iTunes.  I had to download iOS 8 again.  It's not using the same downloaded iOS 8 file. (I did the same thing for an iPhone.  Same result.)
    2. I turned on the Caching Service (not Software Upgrade Service, i.e. for Mac Software) on the Mac Mini Server from the Server app.  I then repeat step 1 above and got the same result.  It seems that the Caching Service does not cache the iOS 8  Software Upgrade like what it does for other apps.  (I think I may need to use some Apple Scripts but I have no such experience.)

    Yes, it should work that way.  However, I was told by an Apple Support that there was a problem and thus Server 3.2.1 was unable to do so.
    I paid for Server 4 and it better provides the expected Caching Services for both iOS Software and Mac Software through the iOS and Mac App Stores.

  • What are the OS differences between mini, mini server and XServe?

    Hi,
    Apart from cpu speed disk size and memory,
    what are the differences between the mac mini and the mini server?
    What, if any, are the differences in the OS, software tools etc?
    Also, what are the differences between the OS in the mini, mini server
    and the XServe (apart from of course cpu cores etc)?
    Thanks

    Thanks.
    Is it safe to say that these two pages list
    all the differences?
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html
    http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/specs.html
    Or is there any doc from Apple that lists the differences?
    Thanks.

  • Mac Mini 2012 and I want to use a new 27" Lighting Display and my old 27" Cinema Display as a second Monitor

    Evening all,
    I have a Mac Mini that I have been using a 27" Cinema Display on for a couple years - works GREAT, love the Mini and that display. The Cinema Display has Power for a Laptop, USB connector and a Mini Display Port connection on it.
    I am a Guitarist / Songwriter and I use Pro Tools a lot. So I thought I would invest in the new Lightning Display for my Mac Mini. I would get the extra ports for Firewire, and USB, as well as now I could "Daisy Chain" my old Cinema Display off the new Lightning Display.
    WHAT A PAIN IN THE BUTT THIS HAS TURNED INTO !!!!  I have honestly spent more than 6 hours trying to find adapters or ways to make these monitors BOTH work at the same time with the Mac Mini ( you know, a Dual Monitor Setup . . .)
    HELP !!!
    1 - If I could find a HDMI MALE to Mini Display Port FEMALE adapter, I would run it on the HDMI interface - apparently no such adapter exists.
    2 - You apparently can NOT daisy chaine the Cinema Display off the Thunderbolt Port on the new Monitor ( silly that that does not work, but it does not )
    I am really stuck here - how do I get these monitors to work as "Dual Monitors" on the Mac Mini ???
    Thanks !

    The HDMI port won't work for a 27" monitor, it maxes out at 1920*1200...
    Supports dual simultaneous displays -- 1920x1200 on an HDMI display or a DVI display using the included HDMI-to-DVI adapter and 2560x1600 on a Thunderbolt or Mini DisplayPort display or even a VGA display (with adapter). Thunderbolt is backwards-compatible with Mini DisplayPort-equipped displays as well as adapters that are compatible with Mini DisplayPort (DVI, VGA, dual-link DVI and HDMI).

  • HT3382 I have an early 2006 Mac Mini and need to connect it to a VGA display.  What connector should I use?

    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.

  • Hi I just purchased a Mac Book Air and installed the 2008 version of Microsoft and office

    I purchased a mac book air and installed the 2008 version of Microsoft Home and office.... would i need to purchase the latest version to upgrade
    or is it upgradable through a download?

    Office for Mac 2011 (or Office 365) are both available as downloads.  Start at mactopia.com.
    I would say they are not treated as "upgrades" to Office 2008.  I don't believe there is any pricing discount for previous Office users, nor do I think the download uses any of the Office 2008 version and updates it.  Whichever of the two current Office products you purchase would be considered an entirely new and different product.
