Is it possible to use multiple displays on mac mini?
I have a mac mini that I think is from 2009. The processor is 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 2 gb memory that I´d like to use with multiple displays (2). Is this possible??

yes.
connect monitor #1 with the Mini DVI to DVI adapter (should have come with your Mini)
connect monitor #2 with the mini-displayport to DVI adapter (needs to be procured separately)

  • Using two displays with Mac Mini

    Is there any way to use two seperate monitors with a mac mini-primary and secondary? If you find a device, please let me know

    I had seen this blog a few months ago. They used a Matrox DualHead2Go with two 1024x768 capable monitors to achieve dual screens

    You will have to add a custom display / resolution using SwitchResX in order to use them both, but it works.

    When I enter System Preferences and select Displays, I am given a button to direct OS X to Detect Displays.  But when I choose the button, nothing seems to happen.  There are only two tabs visible--Display and Color--neither of which has anything to do with getting the software to recognize that a second cable has been

    The image and table detail the 15-pin VESA DDC2/E-DDC connector; the diagram’s pin numbering is that of a female connector functioning as the graphics adapter output. In the male connector, this pin numbering corresponds with the mirror image of the cable’s wire-and-solder side.
    at least some of pins 4, 10,11, 12, and 15 should be connected to pass EDID data through.

  • How do you use multiple displays with a MacBook Pro and iMac

    I have an iMac and a MacbookPro laptop both upgraded to OS X 10.9 (Mavericks).  I'd like to use multiple displays with them.  Can I do this without an Apple TV?  They are both on the same network.  If I can, can someone please give some instructions on how this can be done?
    Thanks!

    Both computers have ports for external monitors. Check your user manuals. Only one display can be added to the MBP, but newer iMacs have dual Thunderbolt ports.
    Do your own Google research to learn what to do, but reading your manuals should be all you really need. It' not rocket science yet.

    Yes that's completely feasable.
    Actually there is another way to install apps ad-hock that i was not aware of (this does not require the devices to be attatched to the Mac with the SDK and project, it can use any computer or distribute via your LAN:
    iOS Developer Programme:Ad Hoc Distribution
    With Ad Hoc distribution you can share your application with up to 100 other iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch users. Through email or by posting it to a website or server, users can download and install your app.

  • Is it possible to use 2 displays with the mac mini

    is it possible to use 2 displays with the mac mini

    I wanted an extended desktop using 2 monitors.
    I am using a Dell Ultrasharp ( has 1 VGA and 1 DVI-D) and a LG W2286 (has 2 HDMI, 1 DVI-D and 1 VGA)
    I ran into a similar issue where initially the mac would not detect the 2 displays and I thought I would share my solution.  I have a Mac Mini 10.8.2 i7 Late 2012.
    I bought a "Cable Matters" brand Mini Display Port | Thunderbolt to DVI Male Cable to have dual monitors.
    I am also using the included in the box  HDMI to DVI-D Adapter from Apple.
    Initial configuration was:
    Mini-Display (Thunderbolt connector) to DVI connected to the LG DVI-D input.
    Apple HDMI to DVI Dongle connected to the Dell DVI-D input.
    What happened was that my desktop was on the LG clear as day but OSX did not see the dell monitor.
    I called apple support and they could not figure out why the mini cant see the dell monitor. I think I discovered that the mac mini could not support 2 dvi monitors.
    I switched the monitor connections.
    The connections that works:
    HDMI out to HDMI in on the LG using a standard HDMI cable.
    Display port | Thunderport to DVI-D on the Dell's DVI-D in.

  • Questions about multiple displays on mac.

    Hello,
    I am hoping to make a 3 display system for my mac pro.  However thunderbolt displays are ridiculously priced and i dont need the quality they bring.  My goal is to make my 3 displays be for as cheep as possible.  Now the display i would love to have is an asus screen priced at 139$.  I would love to be able to have each display be a seperate desktop.  Is their a way to achieve this?   The asus screen can do HDMI DVI and VGA

    Which Mac Pro/graphics card(s)?
    If the new 2013 then:
    Mac Pro (Late 2013): Using multiple displays
    With OSX 10,9,3 you have a max of two with HDMI, VGA or DVI monitor inputs. 10.9.2 and earlier allowed more. You can add Thunderbold and display port/mini display more monitors to those two

  • Possible to do dual display with a mini?

    I have an early 2008 Mac mini (Intel) - with the standard DVI connector; using the supplied DVI/VGA adapter to connect to an LCD monitor.
    I'm just wondering if it is possible to use two displays with this model and if so, how do I connect the second monitor?

    Several ways of doing it in this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8335705&#8335705
    If you want to go the usb route, see also:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/VIDU2DVIA/
    Be sure to examine the limitations of each method.
    (I'd also consider that your 2008 Mini likely has substantial resale value and that you might prefer getting a 2009 Mini which natively supports dual displays.)

    is it possible to use one of the mac pro's internal hard drives as a external drive that can be accessed by a macbook etc?

    Only if you move it to an external enclosure and let them both access it through a file server.

    hi, we are using mac mini's for our developement purpose. connecting the same through using Real VNC. Mac mini's are late 2009 and 2010. Now we have upgraded them to 10.8.5. after upgrading having display issues after launching the simulators, we are unable to view the icons we need to move the simulator (into different places) to view the icons.
    Also we are having Mac book pro's (Late 2009 & 2010) after upgrading them to 10.8.5. Unable to launch the mac, getting only white screen with apple icon.
    Let me know is there any specific Hardware (Graphic Cards) we need to use for the same.
    Please provide me the early solutions.
    Regards,
    Suresh.

    Hi, try this first...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.

  • If i have multiple iPhones and Mac Mini sharing the same Apple ID, can I use Facetime between the devices?

    if i have multiple iPhones and Mac Mini sharing the same Apple ID, can I use Facetime between the devices?

    Yes, but if you want these devices to have complete capability of calling each other they each must have their own separate, individual e mail address.  If they don't have individual e mail addresses, the i phones will be able to call each other because you'll be using their  individual phone numbers -- the Mac mini will be able to call the i phones, but, the iphones will not be able to call the Mac mini.  This is because the iphones will be using the mini's e- mail address to make the call, and if they have the same e mail address, they will think they are calling themselves, so the call will not connect.
    So, the way I see it is,  if you keep all of the email addresses the same, the only thing you'll loose is the ability of the iphones to call the mini.
    EDIT:  Thinking about it, my first sentence needs to be modified.  Your iphones can share an email address but it must be different from the Mac mini address.
    This isn't rocket science, but it can make your head spin. LOL

  • What display do you use with your 2005 Mac mini?

    Hi all,
    I was wondering which displays people are using with their 2005 Mac minis and
    which (if any) adapters are necessary?
    Thanks!
    Mike

    I'm using a Magnavox 15" LCD TV via it's VGA input on my day one mini. The original 2005 minis have a full sized normal DVI output and came with a DVI to VGA adapter. If yours no longer has that, it's the only adapter you'd need for most common computer monitors. Many newer monitors come with DVI already, so no adapter would be needed.

  • Is it possible to use aim with a mac for free?

    Is it possible to use aim with a mac for free?

    If you mean the application AIM for Mac, it will depend on your download speed.
    If you mean "Can I use iChat with an AIM a screen name and does it cost anything ?" then the answer is Yes you can and no it does not cost and there is no download to do.
    If you mean "Can I use the AIM service with an @mac screen name and can this be done for free ? " then the answer is again yes.
    A trail account cost nothing and will work in ichat after the 60 days is up
    A Paid for but Lapsed account will also work in iChat and for this purpose can now be considered free.
    As I said and hinted at before your first question does not make it clear what you are actually asking.
    The Application AIM for Mac is stuck at version 4.7 and does not do Video or Audio Only chats.
    It has things that are useful in tweaking Buddy Lists in iChat but it is not specifically needed to contact AIM Buddies.
