Mac mini 2011 with samsung UA32D5000PM

I purchased a mac mini 2011 recently and hooked it up to my samsung UA32D5000PM with HDMI cable. I am getting terrible image quality setting the display to 1080p. This is very frustraing, someone pls help!

I managed to solve in my Samsung LED TV 40 -
I clicked on the Source button on my TV remote control. Then click on Tools on the HDMI port on which the mac mini is connected.
Then select Edit Name. not type the name, chosen from the list option DVI PC and it was amazing, it worked fine for me, so I have to improve the contrast now.

I also can get them on my Android Samsung Galaxy note 2 with no problem but on the Macmini cannot>/? I Unsubscribed and subscribed many times but still no luck, any ideas? I am waiting for the senior advisor to get back to me on this issue. I am in THailand now where the problem is happening and as I said the ISP says they do not block any podcasts.I also do not want it on my iphone 5, so I have to wait and see why the mac mini is not getting it.

I seem to have fixed it by putting <div class="clearfloat"></div> after the navigation bar?

When I connect my Mac Mini 2011 with Lion to a TV via HDMI and an earphone cable is plugged in, it´s not possible to choose sound out via hdmi, as opposed to connection via minidisplay port. Anybody knows how to fix this?

Was just on the phone with Apple about this.
The solution was as follows for me anyway...
Go to your Finder
Choose the Go Menu
Choose Computer
Choose your Macintosh Hard Drive
Choose your "Library" Folder
Choose the "Preferences" Folder
There should be a folder called "Audio"
Move that whole folder to the trash
Empty the Trash
Restart from the Apple Menu
When you are back up and running;
     Choose System Preferences from the Apple Menu
     Choose Sound
      In the output tab you should now be able to make the HDMI "Sticky"
      Enjoy your sound over HDMI and no more dirty knees or broken backs unplugging the desktop speakers!

How would it look better.... with the hdmi-dvi connection built in, buying a HDMI 1.3 cable and HDMI-making or buying an adapter hdmi display port - vga and connected through the port thunderbolt
Thanks

I originally set up my mini with the included HDMI -> DVI adaptor to connect to a Sycmaster monitor. The graphics were very good.

Mac Mini 2011 and Samsung 940bw

Hi I have just (this afternoon) purchased a Mac Mini
I have connected it with the hdmi to dvi converter to my Samsung 940bw, and it does not want to recognise the monitor. I can hear the start chime so I know the unit is booting up.
I have connected it my my Samsung 2232bw and it works perfectly, any one know how I can get it to recognise the 940, I've tried things like lowering the resolution while connected to the 2232 and then connecting it to the 940, and it still doesnt want to know.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Jo

Do you need to push the source button on the monitor (button just to the left of the 'auto' button) so it recognizes the digital input?

Mac Mini 2011 with i7 processor, but stuttering images?

Hi there,
Finally I've gone and got a Mac Mini for my HDTV, I got the 2.5 GHz model, but upgraded the processor to a 2.7 i7 one. It also has the AMD Radeon display which I thought was meant to be top of the range....
But as I'm watching video on my TV I'm seeing occassional stuttering images. It's not the flickering screen problem that I've seen reported elsewhere where the screen goes black for a second. This is like little split second freezes, or like a frame has been skipped.
It's not just on digital files I watched from my iTunes library. I've also seen the same thing when playing a DVD in the super drive I also bought with my Mac Mini.
Other info that may help:
My Mac Mini is connected by HDMI to my Denon 1910 AVR, which itself is connected to my TV via HDMI.
The HDMI cable I've got going from Mac to AVR was the same one I used to have in my Apple TV (last year's model). It wasn't an expensive cable. I don't recall having similar problems with the Apple TV.
My TV is an LG 50Hz (32LH50YD).
In the display preference panel, I've got 1080p selected for resolution, and 50Hz PAL for the refresh rate (PAL is the standard in Australia).
Is the problem with the Mini, with the AVR or with the TV? Any ideas on how to trouble shoot?
Thanks in advance....

I have the same i7 model and a similar set up (HDMI from Mini to Amp, then HDMI to TV), but I've only noticed this happen once on a downloaded TV episode (standard def). I assumed it was something to do with the content I was watching or due to having a lot of stuff running in the background.
Have you checked Activity Monitor to see if there's anything eating up CPU while you're watching?
Is the problem repeatable at the same point in the same DVD / download? Or is it random?
Have you tried viewing the content with different software? I use Plex for all my content viewing, except stuff downloaded directly from iTunes.

Mac Mini 2011 Sleep of Death

I have a Mac Mini 2011 with Lion factory installed configured with an original Apple Keyboard and a LG - HDMI monitor.
If the Mini goes to sleep either manually using the Apple Menu or based on Settings , it does not wake up !
Any subsequent attempt to wake the mac by moving the mouse results in either nothing happening / a system power down.
Restarting the Mac is then impossible. The Mini just makes JET engine level fan noise and does not boot.
Only after PMU/SMC resets and starting in Safe Mode ( Command +S when powering ) does the Mini come alive again. What a nightmare !
My only solution till now is to put the Sleep settings to "NEVER"
Surely there is a way around this .... sleep of death ???

I have tried to eliminate all issues related to connected periphals first as Apple is really not going to find a solution if it relates to these. I changed the HDMI cable to abrand new expensive cable as a first step. Then I connected only one USB Time Machine Hard Disk 1TB. The PC is now waking out of manually induced sleep. I am not brave enough to remove the "Never Sleep " automatically settings as yet. Also downloaded a free utility named ONYX to do a system clean. They have a version for both Lion and Snow Leopard - just Google ONYX to see what it does. For now, at least the Mac Mini is working . Hope it lasts.

Opinions about if Mac Mini 2011 works ok with VGA monitors

Hi Community,
I have a old HP PC, I want to buy my first Mac Mini and used the keyboard, mouse and VGA monitor (Mod. HP Pavillion mx50) that I have.
Before I purchase the new Mac Mini 2011 and Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter, I would like to know if it works ok with my old components, specially with the VGA monitor? I've read on this Community there some persons have monitors problems.
I don't want spend my money and then have problems with the Mac Mini.
Thanks in advance,

MiniDisplayPort-VGA adapters. Available in the online store, at Apple stores, or at BestBuy/MicroCenter/Fry's. Plugs into the Thunderbolt port.
Usually works without issue. But then I use monitors made by LG and Samsung. Others use lesser known brands or models know to have quirks and encounter issues.
Some things to watch for:
Soem adapters have too much plastic coveing the "connection plate", and the cable cannot seat fully. If you just look at one that has too much plastic, you will know what I am talking about.
VGA signals from Macmini are not strong enough to get through mutliple adpaters. If you want a VGA signal, buy 1 VGA adapter. If you want a DVI signal, buy only 1 DVI adapter. Do not get a DVI adaper, than add a mid-line converted to change the DVI adapter to a VGA port.
If you plan to run Windows under BootCamp, the Windows driver for the Tunderbolt port does NOT output snalog (VGA), just digital (DVI, HDMI). So if you plan to use VGA to display Windows output, run Windws under "VM software" (Parallels or VM Fusion) so that OSX can make the VGA signal for you.

Can I install Windows XP SP1 with Bootcamp on my new Mac Mini 2011 i7 ?

Can I install Windows XP SP1 with Bootcamp on my new Mac Mini 2011 i7 ?

Baiscally if your Mini came with Lion Pre-installed new then No you can't use XP.
The Lion installed computers no longer support XP OR Vista via Apple's Boot Camp.
For one thing Apple only supported XP with SP2 in order to install it on pre Lion computers.
If the Mini had come pre-installed new with say 10.6 then you could have installed XP and still of been able to upgrade to Lion without any issues as you already have the drivers for XP installed. Lion only has the drivers for W7.

Need new disk for 2011 Mac Mini i5 with Radeon 6630M

I need a new disk for 2011 Mac Mini i5 with Radeon 6630M
Will this fit?
Western Digital 2.5 inch Scorpio Black 750GB 7200rpm SATA 16MB Internal Hard Drive WD7500BPKT
Will I need special screwdrivers or tools?

Wow, I worked on my MacMini after watching the video.
But BEWARE!
That OWC video misses a crucial step! (I emailed them)
My MacMini had a bit of "invisible" black tape holding the disk connector to the disk, very hard to see. When I pulled off the connector, it came apart !
That bit of tape must be something Apple added, or some manufacturers added, but it really messed me up. I had to send my MacMini off to be repaired, at a cost about $200 including parts and labour.

External iSight - no sound with Mac mini 2011

Hello,
I'm trying to connect External iSight camera to Mac mini 2011 (using FW400 -> FW800 adapter cable) but I can't get microphone sound to work...
When I open system prefs>sound>input, it shows iSight is connected but system will freeze for a while (like it's looking for iSight) on openning.
When I try open Skype video preferences, it shows me video from iSight with no problem, but sound doesn't work.
Can anyone give me some advice?

You're welcome.
(1) Your new info indicates to me that there is probably something wrong with your cable(s), adapter(s), Mac mini's Firewire, or your external iSight itself.
You can eliminate most of these by troubleshooting with other cables, adapters, Firewire devices, and Macs as suggested in the info from my earlier link.
If no Firewire device you test on your Mac works with any connecting cable, resetting the Mac's Firewire bus may help. Apple's "how-to" article has been archived in this link. (This link may be slow to load.)
If you have trouble displaying the archive page, here is the pertinent extract on how to reset the bus:
... If the issue persists, try these steps:
Shut down the computer.
Disconnect all devices and all other cables, except the keyboard and mouse cable(s).
Disconnect the computer from the power outlet and wait for 3 to 5 minutes.
Plug the computer back in and turn it on.
Reconnect the device(s) (one at a time if there is more than one) and test. Test with each port if you have more than one.
If an individual third-party device leads to the issue, contact the manufacturer for more information and further assistance.
NOTE: Some users who try FW reset forget that "all" cables include the power cable. Disconnecting power is important.
(2) If your troubleshooting shows that your external iSight itself is the problem, you can decide whether you want to have your old serviced. If you do not have access to a local Apple-Authorized Service Provider, you can obtain cost and Apple contact info from http://www.apple.com/support/isight/service/
(3) Rather than spend more money on your old iSight, you may decide to consider a new webcam. A new Mac compatible USB connected cam with a current warranty will be a faster fix, and it may be lower cost. Some examples are at http://mac-compatible-web-cam.com. Moreover, compatible USB connected cams are not subject to all the same conflicts that sometimes effect external iSight.
Unless you already have a separate microphone for your mini, you can decide whether to buy separate mic or look for a new camera that has an inbuilt mic.

Mac Mini 2011 screen blacks out during heavy screen activity

I have a Mac Mini 2011 i5 2.3Ghz with Intel HD video. It's connected to a 30" LCD 2560x1600 (Dell WFP3008) via mini-DP to DP cable and a 22" LCD 1920x1080 (Samsung LCD TV) via HDMI to HDMI cable.
For the first few weeks I had it connected to the 30" only and it was fine. Then I hooked up the Samsung as a second display and the problems started.
The problem is that the Dell blacks out briefly, then comes back. It is not "drawing" the screen black, the signal to the Dell gets disrupted momentarily so the monitor has no signal so it goes black. Then it resyncs with the signal and the display is back. This only happens to the Dell, during the disruption, the Samsung image stays put. I know it is a signal disruption because the Dell shows a displayport icon showing that it has just resynced to that input.
The problem happens more frequently when more things are going on; like if I have a window or multiple windows playing video, then the disruption happens more. If I disconnect the Samsung, it happens less. It could even happen if a web browser window taking up a large portion of the 30" screen does a full page update, it will disrupt. If I am running Adobe Lightroom, it seems to happen more also.
When it happens it seems like messages like this appear in the console, although i can't say they are directly correlated:
6/1/12 8:28:46.000 PM kernel: IOSurface: buffer allocation size is zero
I'm thinking perhaps the mini is running low on memory since the 2560x1600 is pretty high res and then add the 1080p screen and stuff being updated, perhaps it runs out of memory and disrupts the signal while it garbage collects? Pure speculation.
Has anybody else seen this and have any clues on how to resolve it? Thanks.

I should clarify that when I say perhaps the mini is running low on memory, I mean low on shared video memory, since the computer has 16GB installed. I'm not sure how to view or test shared video memory allocation.
