  • Problem of reinstallation preinstalled iWorks and iLife of a rebought Mac Mini

    I bought an old Mac Mini at ebay. iWorks and iLife are preinstalled. But when I restored the Mac, I didnt have these softwares anymore.
    I went to App Store, it said that this Mac Mini has the softwares to be updated (iWorks, iLife) but I cannot download them because they are associated to the Apple ID of the previous user.
    Have you guys ever encounter this problem ? Do you know how to solve it ?
    Many thanks

    Restoring iLife applications after Internet Restore of OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion
    If you erase install OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion on a new Mac that shipped with OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion installed, you can download iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand from the Mac App Store.
    After installation, start (up) from OS X.
    Double-click the App Store icon in the dock.
    Enter your Apple ID and password.
    Click Purchases.
    If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
    You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section. These applications are part of the software that came with your Lion based computer. Your account will not be charged for them. Click Install to complete installation of your applications.

  • How do I use my 26" Polaroid FLM-2601 Television as a montor for my mac mini?

    How do I use my 26" Polaroid FLM-2601 Television as a montor for my mac mini? I keep getting "no signal" for every resolution and refresh rate I've tried both for VGA and DVI settings (listed in the back of the manual for the polaroid tv and a few people posted online).
    I  plug the VGA cable into my old monitor, changing the settings and move the VGA input cable to the TV,  (direct to VGA in or thru a VGA to DVI adaptor) and so far thru either input I only get a black screen with "No Signal - VGA Input" or "No Signal - DVI Input" displayed, so then I go back to the old monitor, try another resolution/refresh rate and try the TV again. This can't be the best way to do this - plus I'm out of resolution options.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

    Go to System Preferences>Displays. Change the settings to your desire.

  • Is this the correct type of Ram for a mac mini?

    I have a 2007 Mac mini, and want to go from 1gig to 2 gigs of Ram.
    I currently have 2 512's
    I need to know 2 things. (i'm pretty sure on both but i'm not a huge hardware guy to bare with me)
    1. Will there be any compatibility problems? I.e if i upgrade to 2 gigs will it even help or because the rest of the computer is not being upgraded will it be useless?
    2. If i'm good to go, Is this the correct type of Ram? http://www.crucial.com/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=4E665783A5CA7304
    Not sure if these are needed but will post anyway:
    Model Name: Mac mini
    Model Identifier: Macmini2,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 2
    L2 Cache: 4 MB
    Memory: 1 GB
    Bus Speed: 667 MHz
    Type: DDR2 SDRAM
    Thank you in advance <3

    NO, it will NOT work.
    You have to find the memory specific for Mac, and rule of thumb, Mac Intel chips usually take "ECC" memory. On occasions, You can get away with Non-ECC (on certain PPC Power Mac G5 towers) -- You can check on-line stores, like Newegg, Tigerdirect, or Goolge search for the Mac Mini memory. I got mine (for my two Mac 2,1) on line, and I put 4G (2x 2G), although only 3G was available.
    It is worth of upgrade it. just need to find the right memory.

  • Can I use My Ibook G4 as a Second Monitor For My Mac Mini G4

    Hi
    I wonderd if theres any way of being able to use my 14'' Ibook G4 as a second monitor for my Mac Mini G4? I already have a Samsung SyncMaster 913n. Is there any way of doing this by firewire using both monitors, if not what cables would I need?
    Thanks

    There is a application called Synergy which you may find useful. It allows the keyboard, mouse and clipboard to be shared across computers, and even different operating systems. It's not strictly what you have asked for as each computer still runs it's applications (and operating system) separately, meaning you can not drag windows between the screens, but by allowing you to copy and paste between the computers, and seamlessly slide your mouse and keyboard input between them you may get the effect you desire. Oh, and it is free and open-source, so why not give it a whirl?
    You will need to connect the machines with a TCP/IP network, which can be done either with an ethernet patch cable, or alternatively as you suggest, using FireWire - these two articles may assist you in setting that up: IP over FireWire in Panther and Tiger.
    As a point of note, a commercial program, MaxiVista allows exactly what you are looking for under Microsoft Windows.
    Hope that helps.

  • HDMI to TV as Display for New Mac Mini DOESN'T WORK

    I bought a new Mac Mini and was told I could us HDMI to my TV as display.   I was using this TV as display for older Mac Mini (VGA) and for a Windows PC, and DVD via HDMI.     TV is one year old. 
    The Genius at the store who sold me the new mini said all I needed was an HDMI cable.   Which I purchased. 
    The screen comes up for the Setup Assistant but as soon I select continue is goes to gray, mixed color scanning garbage mode.    If I turn the TV off and back on, the screen returns (now at the next prompt in the setup assistant) but again it goes gray after hitting continue.    Unusable, CANNOT set up my new purchase.
    Unfortunately, the DVI to VGA adapter on my old mini is different and doesn't mate to the HDMI to DVI adapter that ships with new MacMini, so I can't test VGA.   The old DVI to VGA has extra pins not on the new one. 
    My purchase is not usable and is extremely poor.   Buyer beware I guess.   

    I have been using MacMini's for commercial digital signage/video conferencing gateway usage for sometime now, they all have HDMI output, about one third are on Lion the others still on Snow Leopard, here's what I have found.
    Toshiba & LG tv's are generally reliable, Samsung and Philips generally are not, Panasonic, Sony, Sharp & Viewsonic all work, somtimes with a bit of work from me.
    Cables are important (always look for compatibility with HDMI  revision 1.3 or greater (1.4 preferred), don't waste your money on exotic brands, adhere to the distance limitations, I generally send the HDMI signal wirelessly (cost of labor to add wiring to an existing space can be very high) so am limited to less than 50ft, same as with a wire.
    READ THE TV MANUAL, find out what HDMI choices your tv possesses, is there a 'parallel' audio input available for the times when your signal origin is a MDP or DVI.
    Some TV's just don't work well, cut your losses and get another when faced with this issue.

  • HT5219 I would like to use my iMac 7,1 as a monitor for my Mac mini 2012. Is that possible and if yes, what type of cable connection do I need? Thank you.

    No. Your iMac only has DVI video connection. You would need an iMac with Thunderbolt.

    Hi there,
    The simplest way is to drag it across wirelessly using the 'Airdrop' application once both computers are near one another. 'Airdrop' can be found near the top, on the left hand side menu, within 'Finder'.

  • Using an emac as a monitor for a mac mini

    Hi,
    Sorry if the question was already asked, but a quick search in the forum brought no answer.
    I have an emac (OS9) and a mac mini(OSX). I'd like to use the emac as a monitor for the mac mini. Is it possible? How? (Both are G4, although I don't think that's relevant : I don't want to use them at the same time, only to use the Emac as a "screen")
    Many thanks.

    I happen to know for a fact that you can use the internal screen on an iMac G3 333, and presumably also a 266 and 233. It has a fixed horizontal frequency so it will only display the resolutions that you can choose with it's motherboard installed: 640x480@117Hz, 800x600@95Hz, and 1024x768@75Hz. With DisplayConfigX I was even able to get other resolutions, as long as I stayed within the 60kHz horizontal frequency. If try to set it to any other resolution and refresh rate it will not work, so the best way to test it is to have another screen as your main screen so that you can set the resolutions on the iMac screen from there. I imagine that the screen in the eMac does not have a fixed horizontal frequency, so if you got the pinouts, you could probably get it working. However, I made a custom video cable for a slot loading iMac G3, and I couldn't get it to work.

  • My thuderbolt display is 3 weeks old which I'm using as display for my mac mini. I no longer get the display on but can hear the sound. Please suggest.

    My thuderbolt display is 3 weeks old which I'm using as display for my mac mini. I no longer get the display on but can hear the sound. Please suggest.

    Make sure the mini-displayport/TB plug is fully seated.  It may look fully plugged in but isn't.
    Make sure the Displays system preferences has an Arrangement tab.  No Arrangement means the monitor is not being detected.
    Do a smc reset.
    If none of this works I suggest you take it back to apple (along with your mini).

  • Where can I buy a replacement DVD drive for a mac mini A1347

    My mac mini is out of warranty and my toddler stuffed several discs into the drive slot.
    Whenever it booted, it made a horrible ratcheting clicking noise, but couldn't eject anything.
    I disassembled the entire computer, and pulled all 3 discs out with pliers. After reassembling, the computer works fine, but the DVD drive won't "catch" a disc and pull it in. I'm pretty sure some gear or something has been irreparably damaged, or that I bent it as I was pulling the disc out.
    I've been having a difficult time trying to find a replacement drive to order anywhere.
    Besides going with an external USB drive, does anyone know of the cheapest option for a replacement slot drive for the mac mini A1347. (AKA "mid 2010", AKA Core 2 Duo DDR3).
    I don't want to haul it down to an Apple Store and pay a huge premium to have them diagnose and replace a part that I'm very capable of doing myself.

    If your in the US then the ifixit link is a good option, in the UK the following is an option

  • I plan to purchase a Mac mini and then a new iPad.  Can I use the iPad as a monitor and keyboard for the Mac mini, either through the USB connection or thru Wi-Fi?

    I plan to purchase a Mac mini and then a new iPad.  Can I use the iPad as a keyboard and screen for the Mac mini, using either the USB connector or Wi-Fi?

    I'm sorry, I should have said thru Bluetooth, not Wi-Fi.  I want to use the mini as a base station and the iPad like a laptop that I can sync when I'm home and carry with me when I travel.  Is is possible to hook these 2 up - iPad/mini, through Bluetooth?  I understand I need to use a regular monitor/keyboard/mouse on the initial install.

  • If I get a 3D monitor for my mac mini, will it turn the graphic to 3D?

    Can any one help me that what If I get a 3D monitor for my mac mini, will it turn the graphic to 3D?
    or I need a 3d Processor for my mac mini?

    Not sure what you mean, but I truly think it requires far more than just a 3-D Monitor.

  • Compaq Laptop as monitor for a Mac Mini

    I was wondering if it would be able to use a Compaq laptop as a monitor for a Mac Mini because I want to be able to easily switch between Mac and PC for as cheap as possible I would like to use the laptop as a monitor for the Mini.
    Thanks a lot,
    Alex

    Richard,
    Unless the Compaq has a video
    i input
    this is not possible. However, you can use VNC to control your mini from your Compaq. If this is an option for you depends on the intended use for your mini.
