Is mac mini compatible with screens which are not Mac?

Is Mac mini compatible with screens from other brands different to Mac?

Yes.
We have two minis with three screens betwen them, LaCie, Eizo and HP. All work fine.
Obviously you need to check limitations on screen size etc.

  • Does anyone know how to update OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.1. to 10.8.2. on a late 2012 Mac mini. All I get are 'not compatible' messages even using supplementary updates etc?

    It appears that many of the problems with the HDMI are the "monitors" that are being used. Samsung and Vizeo both DO NOT support a computer input on HDMI only VGA. There probably are others, manuals must be read to confirm compatability.
    I strongly believe that the reason the 10.8.2 update was pulled is due to the fact (it happened to me) that the new Disk Utility creates a Fusion drive if aftermarket SSDs are added to the system. I think Apple wants this propriatary Fusion Drive to be something you buy from them not a "homebrew" for lots less money.

  • Japan Mac Mini compatible with Spanish system?

    Hello,
    I'm going to Japan this summer and I've planed to buy a Mac Mini there (there are much more cheaper, about 150-200€ difference). Before doing it I would like to know if I will have any problems with warranty, hardware problems (like monitor, keyboard...). Japan uses NTSC system and Spain uses PAL, I don't know if this will cause any trouble.
    Thanks and regards, Roger.

    All the minis sold worldwide are all the same. The only thing that changes between regional models is the packaging and documentation. With regards to warranty I believe that Apple only recently changed their policy to extend worldwide coverage to not only laptops but also to desktops. I'm sure someone else can confirm this although you can confirm it yourself from the Apple Store sales policy statement and terms and conditions.

  • Mac Mini Compatible with Sony SDM-HX93/B 19" Monitor?

    Hello,
    I am researching the Mac Mini and am curious if it is compatible with the
    Sony SDM-HX93/B 19" monitor. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hello!
    The Mac mini is compatible with any monitor with a DVI or VGA input.
    The mini comes packed with a Mini-DVI to DVI adapter. You can also get a Mini-DVI to VGA adapter, I'm pretty sure.

  • Mac mini compatible with mac 333Mhz version 1999

    I would just use the mac as a screen basicaly!
    hope someone can help?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    No, I do not believe it is possible to use the older iMac as a display screen for the mine. This does not mean that it hasn't been done, but just not to my knowledge.
    Good Luck!

  • Is my Mac OSX compatible with Mountain Lion?  My Mac has 4 GB.

    I in a bit of a dilema.  I have a paper due at midnight and I need to add in pictures.  I was told that Pages is the best for what I need to do.  I had to update to Mountain Lion to be able to download Pages, though.  Will my Mac be able to handle Mountain Lion?  My Mac has 4 GB and Mountain Lion has 4.4 GB.  And how long will it take to download?

  • I'm using OS 10.6.8 and Mail 4.5. When I receive mails with attachments which are visible the save button doesn't work. Some contacts have problems opening files sent by me using Mail too. This was never a problem on pre-Intel. A real Mac **** up !

    I'm using OS 10.6.8 and Mail 4.5. When I receive mails with attachments which are visible the save button doesn't work. And some contacts occasionally have problems opening files sent by me using Mail too. This was never a problem on pre-Intel Mac. A real Mac **** up ! Any ideas ?

    Can you drag and drop the attachments visible in the email to the Desktop OK or does that fail ?
    Re the sending: Are these recipients on Mac's or PC's as the file type could be an issue, if on Mac's then try setting the Mail Preferences Composing setting to Plain Text not Rich Text and see if that improves things.

  • Mac mini 2014 with multiple screens

    Hi there,
    I'd like to know if I could use a Mac Mini 2014 with one Matrox TripleHead2Go on each Thunderbolt to handle 5 monitors (I don't need 6 but the question is the same)
    Anyone ?

    This would say no

    Multiple GXMs are supported under Windows only.

  • Monitor Not Going To Sleep on Mac Mini Server With Lion

    Summary: I am attempting to configure a Mac Mini Server that runs OS X Lion. This machine was originally shipped with OS X Lion; it is not an upgrade. My current specific problem is that my Viewsonic VX2835wm monitor will not go to sleep when the minutes setting on the Display Sleep setting for Energy Saver has been reached. Instead, the screen goes blank for a couple of seconds and is replaced with a blank blue backlit monitor. (Ironcially, the display sleep menu cautions: "Never letting your display go to sleep may shorten its life".) I very much want and need the ability to have my monitor go to sleep so as to save energy and to extend the monitor's life for as long as possible.
    Additional Background: I have had a couple of calls with Mac support and they have been unable to tell me whether this is a "design feature" or a flaw in the Lion OS because they have had no similar reports and they do not have the latest hardare available running Lion Server to test to see if this happens with other monitors. (They also, of course, don't have the VX2835wm monitor.)
    I do, however, know the following:
    (1) My HDMI monitor is connected to my Mac mini via a DVI KWM switch (ATEN CS1784) such that the HDMI output from my Mac is converted to DVI (using the DVI to HDMI converter that came with my Mac Mini) and is then run through the KVM and then converted back to HDMI (using a full pin DVI to HDMI cable). However, I have tested the monitor with a straight HDMI to HDMI cable running directly from the Mac Mini to the monitor and it has not changed anything.
    (2) The Lion operating system correctly recognizes (in Hardware / Displays) the model of my ViewSonic monitor.
    (3) I have a MacBook Pro running Leopard (OS X 10.5.8) that is connected to the same monitor through the same KVM switch (by way of a BookEndz docking station) which properly shuts down the monitor when there has been no activity for however many minutes are set in the Display Sleep setting under Energy Saver. (Indeed, all I want is the same functionality on my Mac Mini that I have enjoyed for the last two years with this MacBook Pro.)
    (4) When fully connected to the KVM, if I switch from my Mac Mini to my MacBook Pro and my Mac Mini display goes to sleep while I am working on my MacBook Pro, when I switch back to the Mac Mini, my monitor backlight will be off (and the power light will be standby yellow rather than the blue on) until I wake my computer up by touching the mouse of keyboard. I wonder if this may mean that the Mac Mini's signalling of the change in status from on to standby is somehow dysfunctional.
    (5) Shutting down the server functions (and other open applications) has no effect.
    I would greatly appreciate feedback from anyone out there running a Mac Mini with Lion regarding whether or not their monitors go into standby mode when the Display Sleep time is reached (please note whether or not you are running the Server or Client version, whether or not it is a new install or upgrade, and what monitor you are using).
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

    No, I didn't solve the problem. The monitor still goes to sleep with WIndows but not with my Mac Mini. About 8 months ago I basically wore out the power switch on my monitor so I bought a wireless power switch to shut it off at the outlet. The VX2835wm monitor itself is now starting to fail as well-- a couple of times it's gone through a weird sequence of flashing screen colors on power up and ended up in an overscan mode (that took me for ever to figure out how to fix). I have decided to replace my VX2835wm with a Dell u2412m once it fails for good partly because I really want to keep the 16:10 resolution (very hard to find these days) and partly because I want to see if a different make of monitor will go to sleep properly based upon my Mac Mini power down settings.

  • Is my mac pro compatible with mountain lion?

    Is my mac pro compatible with mountain lion/ 2 x 2.66 Ghz Dual core processors?
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    And FBDIMMs which use to cost $300+ for 8GB can now be had for... 2 x $34.
    I paid $300 2 x 512MB August 2006,, then 2 x 1GB $400 March '07
    So as long as you only need 16GB you are safe, it is when you need 4GB, or the rare 8GB FBDIMM and 32GB or more, that yes, time to part ways and get a system that supports cheaper DDR3.
    Except, right now, 10.8.2 'broke' support for more than 64GB and there were people depending on and using 96GB.  Or that more than 48GB also 'broke' the Apple Pro RAID card; a card that still does not support 3TB drives. 10.8.2 does though provide support for more current Nvidia cards (10.7.4 also showed support just not for GTX 6xx series). 3rd party graphic support has always been a weakness, until now.
    Apple Mac Pro is a workstation. Except when it is not. It is still not clear how they missed these things.
    What 32-bit EFI won't get you is 64-bit kernel mode and abilty to fully use more powerful graphic cards or memory addresses for a single process beyond 4GB or graphic card support with more than 2GB (and 2GB use to always fail in OS X in the past).

  • Does a mac mini 2007 with osx 10.6.8 supports 10.7?

    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?
