Mac Mini 120 hz refresh rate?

I've had my mac mini hooked up to my samsung 3d tv since i bought it. it's only been outputting to the screen at 60 hz.
I want to be able to use 120 hz, just cause my tv has it and i do have 3d video files that do play, but want to see if they would look better at 120 hz.
I'm outputting to the tv via HDMI for video and sound.
I look at the sys prefs and display. I see the drop down for refresh rate and its set to 60 hz. there's options that go up to 75 hz but they're whited out and unavailable for use.
my tv is 120 hz, why can't i get my mac mini to display at the rate?

No re-read the 4th paragraph in the first article,
because like most all other devices the iMac does not output at 120Hz.

From mac mini 120 Go to mac mini 500 Go ?

How can I transfer all my data from mac mini 120 Go to mac mini 500 Go ?

Hello,
The likely best way would be to put the older one into Target mode...

Late 2011 Mac Mini slow video refresh on Yosemite

I was rather happily running Mavericks, but decided why not on the upgrade to Yosemite after rough testing on my MBA, but after installation video performance has been awful on my Mini. Mission control has an awful framerate during it's animation, and when using (ImageJ) drawing/refreshing an open image windows is painstakingly slow. Below is the output from Etrecheck and Linc's script. I do not have similar issues on my MBA, and I did not have this issue on Mavericks.
EtreCheck version: 2.0.6 (91)

I went all the way down to 720p (the lowest I could take it) with scaling and it didn't really help. The weird thing is that when I play something in Steam the GPU is fine, but using Mission control with a lot of windows open, or opening a lot of windows really bogs it down (which it didn't do a week ago in Mavericks). My feeling is that it is a poorly written graphic driver and that my issues with imageJ are because it is using the driver in a way that is failing like it is in Finder/Mission Control, and in Steam it's getting to the hardware in its own way. I've sent feedback to Apple about it.

Macs Won't Forget Refresh Rate - LCD Refresh Out of Range

I have a new Viewsonic LCD for an old G4. I had to use an ADC to DVI adapter.
The first time I booted up my Mac, the monitor worked fine. I went into the Display Preferences and, like an idiot, I selected 90 hz because, like an idiot, I thought 90 hz was better than 60 hz.
My screen went black and the monitor said "Frequency out of range", etc. I have talked to AppleCare and I have tried everything and nothing I do gets this Mac to revert to 60 hz at 1280 x 1024.
Tried zapping PRAM, didn't work.
Tried booting into Safe Mode and selecting another resolution. I do that, reboot, it reboots in that lower resolution. I select 1280 x 1024 and my screen goes black because it's going into that 90 hz.
Created another account, didn't work.
I plugged in my old CRT into the VGA port. I was able to select 1280 x 1024 at 60 hz. Turned off the Mac. Plugged in the LCD. Turned the Mac back on and it went black.
It does this when you log in. The actual bootup is in 1280 x 1024 60 hz. I get the login screen fine. It's when I log in, into any account, it goes back to that 90 hz mode.
In Windows, if you select a resolution or refresh rate, a dialog comes up asking you if this mode is OK and if after 15 seconds you don't click on anything, it reverts back to the original resolution. Apple doesn't want to do that, I guess, because they want me to use their monitors.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

You should probably just trash the preferences file(s). That will give you a fresh start with the Viewsonic. See this thread:

Mac Mini 2011 - Slow Transmit Rate Over Wifi

I just swapped over my 2009 mac mini for a new model, and the wifi performance was below average (I use it as a media centre streaming videos over the wifi network to my tv) The 2009 model would stream 1080p files with no problem at all - but the 2011 model couldnt handle it....
I called apple support (after formatting and re-installing lion, and trying every known "improving wifi performance" tactic'). They advised that it sounds like a hardware fault, so I took it back to my retailer, and got a brand new one...
The new one worked awesome! streaming 1080p files with ease...
Then today... its started glitching again, and when checking the stats of the wifi connection.. I have a tramsmit rate of 14..
Does this problem relate to a software issue with lion? What is happening?? I didnt change anything.. One day - Perfect... Next day - Bad...
Help!

It will help to analyse the problem if you do another test. Or a couple of tests.
First test for WAN speed issues.
Can you please do a test with ethernet plugged into the AE instead of the modem.
Wireless off and see if you get full speed as per the modem router.. or you are suffering the same slowdown.
If you clearly get the same speed here as you get via wireless, no need for the second test. The issue is not wireless at all, it is the WAN speed of the AE which can be problematic.
Second test for Wireless Speed issues.
Please do a file transfer in your local LAN to another device eg another computer plugged in by ethernet to one over wireless.. You do want just one wireless link.. so you are testing transfer speed over the wireless.. copy just one large file, like an OS update.. 1GB or so. You can open the activity monitor to track the progress.. you can even post a screenshot of the transfer graph which can be helpful.
So you have between the two tests checked the WAN and the Local LAN speeds. With this we can more easily figure out the bottle neck.
Please do use b for bits.. all network speeds are in bits .. B for Bytes.. which is file sizes etc. 8bits in a Byte.. but network speeds and file transfer speeds we need to be clear in using consistent terms.

Bluetooth lags on new Mac Mini w/ Wireless keyboard and Magic Trackpad

Hi everyone,
I just bought a new mac mini (the basic model) and attached it via HDMI to a HD TV. I bought the mac wireless keyboard and magic trackpad to go with it. Everything works except that both the keyboard and mouse are consistently slow. Not quite to the point of un-useable, but very noticeable.
I've read that it might be radio interference with the bluetooth signal. To test this, I put my Macbook Pro right next to the new mac mini (while it and the screen were on) and paired the keyboard and mouse to the macbook pro. Everything was super fast, no lag - so that leads me to think the problem is with the Mac Mini. I've tried playing with all the bluetooth options, to no avail.
Anyone have any suggestions? I've also tried attaching a bluetooth magic mouse and had the same slowdown. Nothing seems to affect the lag, it's very consistent and probably around half a second between keystroke or mouse movement and it's reflection on the screen.
Thanks,
-Mike

Hey All,
I've got the same issue with my Mac Book Pro and a new Samsung LED 3D TV. Its connected through a DVI out from the mac to a gold HDMI adaptor, then to HDMI into the TV. I've used this set-up with my last HDTV which was a Sharp LCD, and there was no lag and no issues.
I noticed that for me, the lag appeared on the TV, but not on the laptop, so I thought it might be the connection (If I went right to HDMI instead of an adaptor maybe it'd be better) but I don't think it is given that the last TV worked fine.
I then went to my display settings in the control panel on my mac and changed the refresh rate from 24 Hertz to 60 Hertz (NTSC) on the TV and the issue has pretty much completely dissappeared. Not sure why that was the default, but I imagine certain video and other media will play even smoother as well!
Woo hoo!
Hope you all figure this out too!

Mac Mini Max Resolution?;CRT

I just bought a Mac mini and am looking to buy a CRT. What are the max resolutions the mini can support? (VGA analog, not DVI digital)
And, if the mini's supported refresh rate for a given size is say 100Hz and the CRT is only 70 Hz, will it still work?

For DVI it'll go up to 1920x1200. For VGA, probably higher, though I doubt it really matters at that point. For the refresh rate, you can lower it on the Mac, so it shouldn't be a problem.

The refresh rate for Mac mini 2014 at 3840x2160 using Thunderbolt

Here: http://www.apple.com/mac-mini/specs/
, it says that the refresh rate for resolution 3840x2160 for HDMI is 30 Hz.
I'm wondering if it's the same using Thunderbolt, or more correctly DisplayPort.
Thanks!

MacMagnus wrote:
Ok, thanks!
If I could ask another question regarding this... is 30 Hz poor even for desktop work? Or movies.
I believe the 30Hz is progressive and therefore for movies/video would normally look quite good. However for sports e.g. soccer which has a fast moving object i.e. the ball it would be less good. I have also seen comments suggesting that for computer use it is also less desirable particularly when you are scrolling as this entails affectively the entire screen image 'moving fast'.
This is not based on personal use as I cannot afford a 4K screen yet myself. However for DVDs 24p is considered a to give a good image for movies and this I can confirm from personal experience so 30p should be even better. Obviously 60p is better still but for that you need either a Mac Pro, iMac or MacBook Pro Retina.
It is probably going to depend on what you will be using it for. Perhaps you should consider spending a little more for a MacBook Pro Retina which can do 60 Hz.

Refresh rate set wrong, mini wont work with TV anymore

I have a Mac mini hooked to my conventional TV. I tried setting the refresh rate to 58Hz. I wanted to see if it made the picture any better. The image lost all vertical sync and the image rolls very fast. I thought maybe a confirm dialog box would switch it back to 60Hz after a set time. It didn't
I tried putting it to sleep an waking it. I pulled the plug and restarted it. I reset the PRAM. The mini always switches to the bad refresh rate after start up.
I hooked the mini up to my 23" Cinema Display. Then I can use it fine. However, there was no way to channge the TV settings. I hooked it back up to the TV and it still wouldn't work.
So now I have a mac mini that wont work with a TV. The only thing I want to use it with. The only thing I can think is a last resort. To erase the hard drive and re install Mac OSX from scratch.
Is there anything I can do short of reformating the thing? There really should be a timed out dialog box to confirm the setting, al la (dare I say) Windows XP.

This is a real Catch-22 that has caught a bunch of us. If Apple wants lots of naive users to hook these up to their TVs as media centers, they need to have the kind of recovery mechanism you suggest. In the meantime, when I had the same problem and posted, there were lots of useful suggestions in this thread:

Second monitor has a 50Hz refresh rate; my mac's lowest output is 60. What can I do?

I'm trying to get my 13" Late-2011 macbook pro to work with either of two second monitors so I can use logic more easily. One's a DELL thing with a screen res of 1280x1024 (though does work on some higher res') which I had working yesterday till I accidentally knocked the adaptor the slightest bit and now I can't make the second screen stay on for more than a few seconds whatever settings I try. Usually the monitor is on (ie not in power save mode) but just displaying nothing, and my mac behaves as if the second monitor is there.
The other one's a Toshiba 20WLT56B Tv with VGA input. The prob with this one is that it's refresh rate is 50Hz and the lowest option I have for my mac is 60Hz. Is there any way to allow me to output at 50Hz instead?

Mac mini core2 duo 10.7.2 not seeing files on usb external drives - mac formatted - ownership ignored- until finder refresh - any idea

finder has problems showing folders& files on external drives on mac mini with 10.7.2
this is affecting 2 external usb drives both mac formatted - ownership ignored
i click on the drive and see nothing
a refresh of the finder window will make the files appear
if i click on a disclosure arrow, the arrow turns down but no files are displayed
if i double click on the folder it opens that folder in an empty view - a refresh will bring the files visible
interestingly if i eject the drive and plug back it , it will usually display the contents of folders already visited last time but not folders i hadn't looked at - they require a refresh
programs such as iTunes can link to those files when they are not visible in finder
anyone else run into this - any suggestions
oh and drives seem to be working fine on my macbook pro with 10.7.3
cheers folks
Simon

John -I'm pretty sure it the mac mini thats having the issue
the two drives - each with their own cable - seem to work perfectly with my other mac
the mac mini is having no problem reading the files itunes and other programs access the files on the drives without a problem
its just the finder is not displaying the files without a refresh of the view
but thanks anyway

Second display refresh rate lower in Mac OSX than Windows

I use a Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 2070SB CRT monitor connected to my MacBok via a miniDVI to VGA adapter; I span the desktop on both monitors (i.e. I do not use the Mirror Displays option). I use this configuration in both Mac OSX and Windows (via bootcamp). On Windows, I can set the refreesh rate of my CRT monitor to 75 Hz at 1600x1200, but I am stuck to 60 Hz on Mac OSX at 1600x1200. To get a more respectable refresh rate on my CRT, I need to lower the resolution to 1400x1050.
Obviously, the video card of the MacBook can handle a second display at 1600x1200 at 75 Hz since I can do that on Windows. Any ideas how to get the same result on Mac OSX?

Either DisplayConfigX or SwitchRes X should be able to remedy this. But I am at a loss to explain why OS X would itself not allow for the 75Hz choice.

Mac mini reboot with a refresh symbol and a right arrow what do I do to reboot my os?

Hello I recently purchases a Mac mini G4 with what I thought was a blank hard drive I hold down the alt key on my PC keyboard and a screen comes up that has a refresh button and a right facing arrow I have a cursor and click on either of them and neither of them do anything what do I do?

ok thats what I thought, I obtained a linux lite os and burned it on a blank disk and inserted it in the mac mini it spun inside but then did not boot, im not sure if there is a sertain way to burn it to the disk to make it bootable, im using a laptop with windows to burn the disk with the os on it. any help will be welcome thank you

How will os 10.9 perform on a March 2009 MAC MINI 2.0/1X1G/120/SD/AP/BT-USAMB463LL/A

How will os 10.9 perform on a March 2009 MAC MINI 2.0/1X1G/120/SD/AP/BT-USAMB463LL/A?

It fits the specs, if it's actually an early 2009
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer
If not you'll get a message that you can download it.
Although 2GB RAM is the stated minimum 4GB is more realistic. I'd add more RAM.

Any one have any idea when the next refresh of the Mac Mini will be?

Hey, guys! I currently have a 1.87 Ghz Core Duo Mac Mini which I've done a few upgrades to. RAM, Hard drive, etc., but OSX Lion requires a Core 2 Duo to be able to install it. Therefore, I've been eyeing up the current Mini, but I was hoping that someone might have some information on when the next refresh if the Mini is expected. And sort of wondering if I should wait or just go ahead and get a current model.
thanks in advance!
Jeff

I understand, but consider that Apple is stepping up OS Major releases & look what get's left out of the next update, then what will be left out on the next update???
Macs that will support OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
As usual, the newer the Mac the better:
• MacBook Pro – 13″ from mid 2009 or later, 15″ from late 2007 and newer, 17″ from late 2007 and newer
• MacBook Air – late 2008 and newer
• iMac – models from mid 2007 and newer
• MacBook – 13″ aluminum from 2008, 13″ from 2009 and newer
• Mac Mini – early 2009 and newer
• Mac Pro – early 2008 models and newer
• XServe – early 2009 models and newer
Macs that are NOT expected to support OS X Mountain Lion
Older Macs and those with weaker GPU’s will likely be left behind:
• Anything with an Intel GMA 950 or x3100 integrated graphics card
• Anything with an ATI Radeon X1600
• MacBook models released prior to 2008
• Mac Mini released prior to 2007
• iMac models released prior to 2007
• Original MacBook Air
This list of compatible and incompatible Macs and system requirements are based off of the first OS X Mountain Lion Developer Preview and may be subject to change, we will update when we learn more about the specifics. OS X Mountain Lion will be released this summer but presumably long before that we will know precise system requirements and what Macs are and are not supported by the new version of OS X. Stay tuned.
