Linking Thunderbolt Display to Mac Mini AppleCare

I've Recently Purchased a 2012 Mac Mini and A Thunderbolt Display. i also Bought AppleCare for the Mac Mini as well.
When i go to register the AppleCare to the Product, it gives me the option to Link a Display to it, but when i try to input the Thunderbolt Display's Serial# and go to the next step, it says that it is invalid.
What could Be the Problem? they were purchased on the same day...

Give AppleCare a call - 1-800-275-2273.
I didn't have any problems registering my products with the AppleCare that I purchased.

  • How to connect a 23" Cinema display and mac mini to an AV Receiver?

    I am trying to get my 23" Cinema display and Mac Mini to a Yamaha RX-2700 AV Receiver. I am on first name terms with the guy in Maplins because I tried to get an Xbox 360 working with this display before and gave up in the end.  The AV receiver has upscaling capability so I thought I'd try again.  I tried connecting a HDMI - DVI adapter to the HDMI Out on the receiver and a HMDI to DVI cable from the Mac Mini to the HDMI in with a optical cable for the sound.  The sound works fine but I get no display - the LED on the monitor flashes three times with a blank screen so it can't read the signal.  Another option suggested was to use a VGA Converter connected to a VGA - HDMI cable but I would like to find out if that would work before going down that route?
    I am looking for some advice about whether this type of configuation is possible with the 23" ACD and if so what do I need to buy to make it work?  I love the quality of my ACD to avoid having to replace it with a TV to get my multi media life in order.
    Many thanks

  • Is it possible to use multiple displays on mac mini?

    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)

  • Dual displays on mac mini

    I'm trying to connect a new Mac mini to 2 displays. The Hdmi cable is connected to a plasma TV and is working great. I bought a mini display port to VGA cable from monoprice and have that connected to a projector. If I go into settings and select mirror displays I get the same image I have on the plasma TV on the projector, but the image lasts only for an instant then become a blank screen. I've tried different resolutions but they all have the same result. I get the image on the projector for an instant then nothing.

    The Mac Mini never came with an HDMI to DVI adapter. 
    The second display has VGA only, is there an adapter for this as well?
    You said you bought a MC816B/A, which is a 2011 Mini 2.5 i5. The 2011 Minis have an HDMI to DVI adapter right in box. See here (scroll down to "In the Box"): http://www.apple.com/macmini/specs.html
    That will handle one DVI display with the Mini's HDMI port. If yours is missing then I'd look in the box again and/or take advantage of your AppleCare.
    The other monitor only has VGA, so you can use Apple's Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter, which plugs into the Mini's Thunderbolt port. See http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB572Z/A
    Eric,
    So according to Apple's specs, the maximum resolution on the HDMI output (hence DVI with adapter) is 1920x1080. What are the other resolution choices?
    Are the quality of the two outputs (the HDMI, the Thunderbolt via adapter) otherwise the same (for the same resolution)? Refresh rate, etc.? I can't find any details on Apple's sites. I'm connecting two indentical monitors (Gateway FHD2401). Need them to look identical.
    Natively this monitor supports 1920x1200 (1.6:1). Tried my adapter (MacPro) on 1920x1080 (1.3:1) and it doesn't look so good. So that may answer my question...

  • Question about mac mini applecare

    i'm getting a new mac mini soon, and hesitating if i need to buy applecare with it. got several questions about the applecare for mac mini:
    1.if i upgrade the hard drive of mac mini, which will void the warranty of applecare, will the apple display & wireless keyboard & mouse that i purchase along with mac mini still be under applecare warranty?
    2.if i sell the mac mini after one year, will the apple display,keyboard,mouse still under the protection of applecare?
    3.i already have a wireless mighty mouse (within one year of purchase) before purchasing mac mini, may i add it to the applecare?
    4.if i purchase iSight with mac mini, will be it under the protection of applecare as well?
    appreciate any help!!

    I'll try to help:
    1. Are you a certified Apple Authorized Service Provider? If you are not and you damage anything, the repair will not be covered by the original warranty or the AppleCare Protection Plan. I would be up to the service technician doing a repair in the future to tell you if the entire warranty was voided by your actions or not. Since we're all users and none of us work for Apple, we cannot speak for Apple. I would suspect, however I can't be certain, Apple would still give you service for the peripherals since they were not involved in the original incident.
    2. The warranty for the peripherals will travel with the computer. If you no longer own the computer, you will not be able to get service for those parts. If you sell your Mac mini, you have two options: Transfer the AppleCare Protection Plan to the new owner or get a refund for the amount of time you have not used. I would suggest you sell the peripherals with the Mac mini and the AppleCare Protection Plan. This would be a valuable add-on to your sale. Or you can keep the peripherals to use with your next Mac and they'll be covered by your new AppleCare Protection Plan.
    3. You do not need to "enroll" all your peripherals. As long as you own the computer with the AppleCare Protection Plan, you will get support for the peripherals you're using. For example, Apple gave me support for the AirPort Express that I bought before my Mac mini with a plan. As long as it's a mouse, keyboard or AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme, they're covered no matter when you purchased them. However, for a display to be covered, you must purchase the display at the same time or purchase a separate AppleCare Protection Plan for the display.
    4. The AppleCare Protection Plan FAQ (link is a PDF) does not specify that an iSight is a covered peripheral.

  • HT4614 connecting two displays on mac mini(late 2012)

    I have a mac mini (on order). I want to use two displays as follows: connect one to the thunderbolt port and one to the hdmi port. Can I do it?

    If possible steer away from analog VGA.
    If you have DVI or HDMI supported monitors, you can use the supplied HDMI to DVI Adapter or a straight HDMI cable from the Mini's HDMI port for one monitor.
    Then depending on the second monitor HDMI, DVI or VGA you will need one of the following MiniDisplay Port to HDMI, DVI or VGA Adapters connected to the Thunderbolt Port. Optionaly, if you had a monitor that supported Display Port, then you could use a MiniDisplay Port to Display Port cable.

  • Dual display options, Mac Mini

    I have connected an 1440x900 LED display via the Thunderbolt port and have set it up to be a secondary display with a DVI display 1920x1080 as primary . However, using the Thunderbolt port for a VGA interface seems like a bit of a waste! Is there any better way to achieve dual monitors on the Mac Mini?

  • Will thunderbolt display work on mini display port?

    I just purchased a new Thunderbolt 27" display and was told at the Apple Store that it would work with my 2010 Mac Pro on one of the mini display ports.  Got it home, hooked it up and.... nothing.  Connected it to my MacBook Pro (Retina) via Tbolt port and it fires up as expected.  Was I misled at the store?  I want to have the future technology at hand for upgrades coming down the road.  But I fear I'm stuck between older technology and Tbolt tech.  Any suggestions?

    There is no way to make a Thunderbolt display work with a computer that does not have a Thunderbolt port.  Only the new (late 2013) version of the Mac Pro has Thunderbolt.
    A Mini DisplayPort display will work with a Thunderbolt port (except the port on the back of a Thunderbolt display), but a Thunderbolt display will not work with a Mini DisplayPort.

  • Best display for mac mini?

    I'm about to purchase a Mac Mini (late 2012 model) but can't stretch to a thunderbolt monitor so was wondering whether a 24inch monitor from samsung or similar would be a good fit. I would like to connect through the HDMI interface, and I want to use the monitor primarily for photo editing.

    If accurate color display is not important to you, like producing photos for print (4 color, etc.) or produce other commercial products, or don't care if color is off a bit, then just about any late model tv or monitor will work.  I'm using a 24" Samsung, about 2 years old and it's decent for basic home use.

  • 24" LED display to mac mini, no sound or camera

    I recently bought a Mac Mini.
    I also inherited a 24" LED Mac display as well.
    Am having trouble getting the camera and sound to work on the display.
    The cable from the display I received has three plugs.
    1.  Thunderbolt
    2.  USB
    3.  MagSafe
    I have tried all four USB inputs on the back of the Mac Mini itself with no luck.
    I was under the assumption that the MagSafe isn't needed because its used for charging (Macbook).
    Is there another cable that is needed?
    I hope I am not missing anything obvious.

    Long shot, but...
    Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there.

  • 30-inch Apple Cinema Display on Mac Mini 2010

    I recently went around to look for a 30-inch Apple Cinema Display. I found out that if I use it with the new Mac Mini 2010, the resolution is somewhat pixelized. From what I know the Mac Mini's Mini DisplayPort supports for up to 2560-by-1600 resolution.
    Base on the 30-inch max resolution, its 2560 x 1600. Did I get this right?

    Did I get this right?
    Yes, if you're using a dual-link DVI adaptor. If you're using a single-link one, the maximum resolution on a 30-inch display is 1280 by 800.
    If you're using a dual-link DVI connection at the correct resolution, check the Zoom setting in the Universal Access and Keyboard & Mouse panes of System Preferences.

  • Functioning Monitor will not display with Mac Mini

    I'm trying to get an IBM E74 CRT monitor working with an early 2009 Mac Mini. I have it connected with Apple's mini-DVI to VGA adapater. The Mac "sees" the monitor since with screen sharing I can see the Display System Preference when the monitor is attached. It shows the monitor as an IBM E74 and allows what appear to be appropriate choices as far as resolution and refresh rate are concerned. I tried many combinations of resolution and refresh rate with no difference in behavior.
    The monitor always acts like no signal is detected (built it message on monitor display). This monitor works fine with a B&W G3 and a late 2007 MacBook Pro. Any ideas why the Mac Mini is not driving the monitor? Have tried all combinations cycling power on the monitor, connecting / disconnecting while the Mac Mini is power up. Have had the monitor connected and powered on when booting the Mac Mini. For whatever reason the monitor does not seem to work with the Mac Mini, but works fine with other computers.
    The monitor despite its' age has pretty low time on it and is quite serviceable. Are there quirks with the VGA interface that we may be running into? I would like to get this combo working together if at all possible.

    I would say the VGA interface did evolve somewhat over that time period. In particular, the thing that may have changed that could be the underlying cause of the problem is sync termination impedance has trended upwards. It's not unusual to find older monitors with low impedance on sync. Some even had 75 ohm impedance, which required a line driver for sync the same as for video.
    It could be the IBM monitor has fairly low termination impedance and the mini is unable to provide sufficient output on the sync lines to drive TTL levels, whereas the MBP is doing better. You could check this with a simple ohm meter with the IBM monitor turned off. Ideally, for the mini, you would want to see a high impedance reading on H and V sync, like close to 2k ohms. If it's 500 ohms or less, then the mini may not be able to drive sync properly.
    On an old monitor like that, it is likely to have old fashioned components with axial leads rather than surface mount components. If you are handy with a soldering iron, you could find the offending resistors and bring the monitor up to a more modern, high impedance standard of 1.8k to 2.2k.

    Hello @adsben,
    I understand that the image quality for your HP monitor is poor when connected to your Mac Mini, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
    According to this document on using HP Monitors on a Mac: 
    "HP monitors are not supported in a Mac environment. However, newer Macs use graphics with VESA modes and can display to most HP LCD monitors. To do this, connect the monitor to the Mac while the Mac is off, and then turn on the MAC. The monitor should operate at 60Hz. The INF and software for the HP monitor are for Microsoft Windows and cannot be run in a standard MAC OS environment."
    I hope this helps!
