Mac 2.0 Mini, 1GB, only 1280x800 with ACD 30"???

I know it technically isn't supported, but the head genius at Regent Street was sure it would work at the reduced resolution of 1920x1200 with my ACD. As it turns out, the highest resolution that the Mini reports is 1280x800 regardless of how many colors I select or hitting "Detect Displays".
I really don't want to shell out for one of the coming Mac Pros at this time. Is there any way to get this working? I tried Res X and set the resolution custom at 1920x1200, but it selected a refresh rate of about 40Hz and I didn't even know what to reset that too (if I even could).
Is there any way to get this working? FWIW, it works fine at 1920x1200 and 2560x1600 with my MBP.

Wouldn't you need a dual-link-capable computer to drive this display at higher res than 1280 x 800?
For example see this note:

Hopefully our video expert, BSteely, will have more to say about this later in the day.

  • 1.83 Mac Mini wireless only works with case off

    Hey guys,
    I had to replace the HD in my mac mini and i tested it with the case off, the wifi was full bars! then i put the case on and the wifi just cuts off, take off the case, it works perfectly, put it back on instantly chops the wifi power down.
    ANy ideas? I usually always have it plugged in via eth cable but dont want the wireless broken.
    Btw its running 10.6.1

    Did the wifi work any better with the case on BEFORE you replaced the HD?
    It could be the re-assembled Mini's wifi is just acting "normal" - and that operating it case-less allows the wifi to be more powerful than designed.
    IMHO the wifi in the Mini is the weakest in the Apple lineup - an quite susceptible to changes in strength due to orientation of the Mini and objects near it.

  • Can't sign in using any 3rd party email client with my iCloud account on any Mac. Tried every settings, My iCloud only works with Mail.app

    Can't sign in using any 3rd party email client with my iCloud account on any Mac or any other Mac. My iCloud will only work with Mail.app. All the clients I tried work perfectly well as long as I sign in with somebody else's iCloud account. But mine won't work no matter the client (Postbox, Unibox, Airmail...) and no matter the computer.
    I can access my account on iCloud.com, but I can't use email clients without getting error messages prompting me to check my password or login.
    I was able to use those clients in the past but a couple of months ago I got logged out of Airmail and the issue started just like that!
    I tried every possible mail server settings including the following:
    IMAP information for the incoming mail server
    Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
    Port: 993
    Username: The name part of your iCloud email address (for example, emilyparker, not [email protected])
    Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP information for the outgoing mail server
    Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
    Port: 587
    SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    Username: Your full iCloud email address (for example, [email protected], not emilyparker)
    Password: Your iCloud password

    Those are the correct settings, and they work with any email client that supports Imap.
    Try again.

  • Using a HDMI Only Monitor with 2011 Mac Mini i5 2.3

    Hi, Just Wondering if anyone has experience with this...
    I have searched High and low and cannot work out if the issues with this are fixed or still happening to people.
    I am looking a connecting the 2011 Mac Mini with HDMI port directly to HDMI port of a third party monitor but the ones Iam interested in (and are in my price range!)  seem to have only HDMI and sometimes VGA also. If I connect the cable directly from the mac to the monitor are there issues with resolutions, wake from sleep, colours being bad/off etc? Is it recommended to only use DVI from the 2011 Mac Mini?
    Just need to check this before buying a new monitor and I cant seem to find the answers anywhere so any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
    Steve

    Yes, you can connect an HDMI monitor directly up to a 2011 using an HDMI cable.
    Look at >  http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/mac_mini_mid2011_ug.pdf in Chapter 1 on Page 15 of the User Guide.

  • Can i use 2gb memory in one slot in my 2006 Mac mini as the 2 slots of 1gb only reports only 1gb memory, both memory work ok in the one slot

    Can I use 2gb memory in one slot in my 2006 Mac mini as the 2 slots of 1gb only reports as 1gb memory, both memory work ok in the one slot as I have swapped them over

    To my knowledge 1GB modules are the max. size for the 2006 Mini.
    2GB modules are not recognized/useable.

  • Mac mini not booting up with 8GB memory after 10.7.2 update

    My mac mini is not booting up with 8GB of memory after the 10.7.2 update. It just keeps on beeping and flashing the led.
    If I take out the upper DIMM (Bank 1) It boots just fine, and it does so with either one of the 4GB DIMMs in Bank 0, so the DIMMs are fine. It also boots up fine with two 1GB DIMMs installed simultaneously, so the Bank 1 seems to be somehow working as well.
    This trouble started right after the Lion recovery update, meaning the mini has never booted with the full 8GB installed after the update.
    It worked just fine before that, with the full 8GB of memory installed.
    Anyone else having similar problems?
    Cheers, Otto.

    I have upgraded my 2011 Macbook Pro and my 2011 Mini Server
    to 8 gig with Corsair RAM and have had no issues
    (CMSA8GX3M2A1333C9).  What brand RAM was used?
    There have been issues in the past with some RAM
    brands.
    Something to try is a PRAM reset with the 8 gig installed.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mh26871.html
    Also, make sure the Minis are booting into 64 bit mode.
    Open Applications->Utilities->System Information
    On the left side click the software heading.  There should be a line
      64-bit Kernel and Extensions:          Yes
    This should be the default for 2010 and 2011, but something could
    have got hosed.

  • Does the hp mini wireless mouse work with a mac?

    Does the hp mini wireless mouse work with a mac?

    The only one that will work with OSX is the one you order with the Mac Pro from Apple. The others don't have the correct firmware for OSX.
    I've also noticed that the online store lets have an option for the QuadroFX 5800 to purchase with a Mac Pro
    No, it's the NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600. That is the only way to get it. NVIDIA does not sell it directly.

  • Mac Mini Upgrade to Lion with USB: can't download Server Add On

    I have a Mac Mini on Snow Leopard and I bought the Lion USB key to upgrade to Lion. I have a weak internet connection. Unfortunately, the first thing that happens when I insert the USB key and start the upgrade is that it needs to download the Server Add On. What is very bad is that it says to look on the App Store app to monitor the download but there is nothing happening here. My ADSL box shows no activity. Why do I have to download this? how many Mb is it? can I skip it somehow? If I cancel, it cancels the installation...
    I am very disappointed and unhappy by this, I thought I would upgrade to Lion easily, especially after buying the USB key for 69 euros (I live in France).

    The only solution I found is wipe the hard drive, install Lion then install the server part. I am not really interested in a drastic solution as this one which takes time and careful backup and is stressful.
    At the very least, were I upgrading like you, I'd clone what I have to an external -- either bootable or in a disk image -- in case you need to roll back.
    I've never upgraded any version of Server before, but that drastic measure I take all the time with major OS upgrades. And Snow Leopard to Lion is a major OS upgrade.
    It's too bad that Apple doesn't make a straight Lion Server OS "bundle" available for purchase for the price of Lion client + server add on. That way you wouldn't have to do a two-step install to get to Lion Server. It certainly exists, I've downloaded it for my Mac Mini Server, which shipped with Lion Server, when I wanted to reinstall Lion Server.

  • I lost my iphone, got a new sim card and put it in my boyfriend's old iphone. When I synch it in itunes it will only synch with his stuff and not mine. Any ideas how I can get it to synch with my itunes??

    Are you using a Mac? It sounds like you are using his computer to sync to. If this is the case, then it will sync to all of his stuff unless a new user is created with your personal stuff on it.
    When you want to sync your iPhone to that computer, switch to your user first, and then everything will sync with your stuff. If he wants to hook up his iPhone to sync it, then he needs to switch back to his own username first.

  • My Mac Mini don't work with 3d Televisions.

    Hello all,
    I have a Mac Mini, and recently i buy a television by Sony 3d (46").
    For my surprise, the television dont accept the signal from Mac Mini. O then screen appears the message (Signal Incompatible).
    I change all configurations, but nothing. I call to Sony and they dont have idea about the problem.
    Cam anyone help me?
    Best regards,
    Marcelo

    Assuming your using a new Mac Mini with a HDMI to HDMI and one of the 4 HDMI ports on the Sony, the Mini will only recognise your screen when you either wake from sleep or on a restart. I've used this on a few Sony 3D TV's without any problems.  Have you tried using one of the two HDMI's on the left hand side of the screen (HDMI 2 and 3 on the remote)
    However, if you're using an old mac mini with the DVI connector,  some of the convertor cables don't work, so it's worth checking that first.

  • HT2513 my iCal calendar that I created with the color green keeps changing to purple.  no matter how many times I change it to green, it turns it back to purple.  Of course this only happens with iCloud and not "from my Mac".  Any ideas?

    my iCal calendar that I created with the color green keeps changing to purple.  no matter how many times I change it to green, it turns it back to purple.  Of course this only happens with iCloud and not "from my Mac".  Any ideas on how to correct this?  This seems like a trivial error, but it's super annoying.

    I called Apple and they said that they know about this problem.  It's a problem with iCloud which their Engineers know about.  (there was a new iCloud release, hence...)  No ETA for a fix yet.  I asked that this be escalated so Engineering doesn't put it at the bottom of their fix list.  I talked to a Senior Advisor and mentioned to them to have QA check their regression tests as this has happened before to me (the problem just didn't take this long to resolve).  I like to use green too for important stuff, so I've resorted to creating a new calendar using the normal calendar green for events going forward.  They could have picked another color besides green to have this problem with and I wouldn't have been so upset.  ;-)
