Mac Mini 2012 (new) - displayport daisy chaining.

Does anybody know whether the TB controller on the 2012 (new) Mac Mini supports DisplayPort v1.2 daisy chaining? I am aware of the limitations of the current Apple TB display, but am wondering if a workaround would be to use display v1.2 panels. My guess is that the TB controller used in the TB display was not compatible with multiple display handling (e.g., Eagle Ridge), but was hoping that the controller used on the macbook/mac mini/imac logic boards does (e.g., Light Ridge). HDMI is too limiting, so I was hoping to daisy chain 2-3 displayport v1.2 displays off of the single TB out from the new mac mini.

thanks the replies. OWC sold me the kit, cable etc based on the Macmini's specs. I talked with support and the drive I installed should work with no issues.
They did have me reset the PRAM which did. They also told me I might need to install Yosemite 'several times before is sticks' - whatever that means. lol.
Anyway I zapped the PRAM. So far no mysterious restarts with the drive being unrecognized.
One thing I didn't mention though...
MacMini is in a backyard home office (about a 100 feet away with buried CAT6 cable connecting it to the network). I was using Screen Share from my MBP reinstall all my work software. Every crash occurred while using screenshare. I never had any crashes when I was actually sitting at the computer.
I don't know if that has anything to do with it - but I haven't used ScreenShare for any length of time to control the Mac mini since the pram zap. Figured I'll use the computer for a week or so and see how stable it is and then try using screenshare again and see if the behavior repeats itself.
Meanwhile I'll keep my fingers crossed.
I'm just suspect that it was a PRAM issue. But I'm a layman.

  • Mac Mini 2009 - Can't daisy chain two FW800 drives

    I have two FW800 enclosures with 3.5-inch drives and external power.
    Each one mounts individually when connected to the Mini FW800 port but when I daisy-chain them the second one in the chain doesn't mount and is not seen by disk utility.
    Those enclosures use an Oxford UF934DSB chipset.
    What's ironic that I had a FW400 enclosure daisy chained to one FW800 enclosure until this afternoon and that daisy-chain worked fine.
    Somewhere on the net there was an article that the daisy-chaining had to be done in a certain sequence, ie Mac FW to top FW port on first external, then from bottom of first FW enclosure to top of second and so forth.
    I always though the FW ports were just wired in parallel.
    Well, this is interesting - since these new FW800 enclosures also have one FW400 port as well, I just connected the second one using the FW400 ports and now they both mount.
    But now the whole chain only runs at FW400 speeds.
    Anyone else come across this problem or better yet, what is the solution to get both daisy-chained FW800 drives to mount.
    The enclosures are Rosewell, the drive in each a 1.5 TB WD green.

    I don't think it has anything to do with the power supply.
    The two enclosures are identical and react (work or not) exactly the same when I interchange them or the FW cable.
    They also work flawlessly if I connect the second one using FW400 instead of FW800. Would just trying to get the enclosure to mount with FW800 draw more current than when mounting with FW400 to put the power brick over the edge? I doubt it.
    A few other things I'm going to try - I do this when I have a few extra minutes since I can't afford to spend my time on this continuously.
    1. See if there is a F'W update for the enclosure and/or the Oxford chip.
    2. Talk to the Oxford and enclosure support people
    3. Update to 10.6.4, I'm on 10.6.2 right now
    4. Do a bit more digging on the net to see how others got the FW800 daisy-chaining working.
    The two enclosures react the same when I try each one separately and also when I switch them around. Whatever the problem is, it affects both equally so it's not some defect on one of them.
    With the rest of the testing I have done, I'm now pretty sure it's a Mac software problem.
    Although I would have thought someone else would have this problem as well but I can't even find any discussion on daisy-chaining with this chipset when running OS 10.6.
    There is a 15-digit number in disk utility called connection ID.
    I assume that is the Firewire ID number that some threads I read refer to.
    That ID is the same for the two FW800 ports and the FW400 port on each enclosure but it's different for the two enclosures, so some conflict there is definitely not the issue.
    So far I couldn't find what the latest issue of firmware is for the Oxford chip set, but I copied all the information that comes up with the firewire hardware listing so when I find the information I can check it against the firmware issue on my two units.
    Now, another interesting tidbit - some people say they had to power up the enclosure a few times occasionally to get a single drive to mount.
    I never had that problem, a single FW800 drive always mounted right away, but I decided to try that with the daisy-chained drive.
    So I turned the power switch on that second drive off and then on again...and lo and behold - doesn't it mount now........
    But that is not the interesting tidbit........the tidbit is when I check back in the Mini Firewire hardware listing.
    Whereas before it showed all the expected detail with either drive when connected individually via FW800, now with both FW800 drives connected I get this:
    *FireWire Bus:*
    *Warning: Unable to list FireWire devices.*
    *Maximum Speed: Up to 800 Mb/sec*
    ....and oooops - both FW800 drives just disconnected by themselves.
    Sure seems to point to a Mac software issue.
    And if you google for "Warning: Unable to list FireWire devices." you get pages of hits - many on Leopard but also a fair share on SL.
    I updated the software to 10.6.4 - still the same problem.
    Daisy-chain with FW400 is fine, with FW800 the second drive in the chain - doesn't matter which one it is, won't mount.

  • Mac mini 2012 new OWC SSD install issue

    Hoping someone can makes sense of this report.
    My macmini 2012 has been rock stable. 8 gig, Yosemite install.
    Yesterday I installed an 120GB Electra 6G SSD as a second drive. Installed a fresh install of Yosemite. Everythign went without a hitch. System ran for 24 hours with non problems. Began installing my software and twice I came back to find the mini had rebooted under the original hard rive/system with a message that the computer had shutdown due to a hardware issue.
    Checking Disk Utility the OWC SDD doesnt' even come up.
    Rebooting it show shows up again, I can then select it as the start up drive and reboot with the SDD. Everything seems fine. Then a repeat several hours later.
    This is the last report. Can someone translate? I don't know if I have a bad SDD, if it's a comptability/OS issue or if I possibly knocked something loose when reassembling. Thanks.

  • Cannot get airplay icon on mac mini 2012 (newer version-mountain lion) or on ipad2 (ios6.1) any ideas? Apple tv says to turn on home sharing, but mac mini says home sharing is on

    Does anyone know if this is router issue that does not allow the conection between devices??
    The ipad, mac mini and apple tv can access by themselfs the internet wirelessly!,

    ikaro
    Start by rebooting everything, including router.  Take all cables out ATV for 30 seconds to.
    Just a first look.

  • I have a MBPro mid 2013 with 1 Thunderbolt port. Just bought a Mac monitor and want to daisy chain a PC monitor to it. Use a Mini DVI to VGA adapter from MBP to PC monitor. How do I daisy chain the 2 monitors?

    I have a MBPro mid 2013 with 1 Thunderbolt port. Just bought a Mac monitor and want to daisy chain a PC monitor to it. Use a Mini DVI to VGA adapter from MBP to PC monitor. How do I daisy chain the 2 monitors?

    Hall Palm Desert,
    if your Mac monitor has Thunderbolt ports, and the PC monitor is on the end of the daisy chain, then you might be able to do it by connecting your PC monitor’s VGA cable to a Mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter (e.g. Apple, NewerTech), connecting that cable’s Mini DisplayPort end to one of the Mac monitor’s Thunderbolt ports, and then connecting a Thunderbolt cable between the other port on the Mac monitor and your MacBook Pro.

  • New Mac Mini 2012 - HDMI dolby surround

    Hi,
    I returned my Mac Mini 2011 because of the poor (lack of) dolby surround support outside of Apple iTunes.
    I am very interested to know if somebody can confirm the new Mac Mini 2012 has better dolby surround support. I would like to connect the Mac Mini to my dolby surround receiver with plug and play support in Mac OS X Mountain Lion. And of course compatibility with media software (e.g. VLC or other players).
    Thanks for your comments!

    The Mini will pass through Dolby and DTS encoded tracks to
    any device which can decode it with XBMC, PLEX, VLC,
    MplayerX, etc.
    The signals can be passed through via HDMI or optically.
    The proper set up is required in the Audio Midi Setup utility
    and in the app.  If you are expecting decoding within the
    Mini to multichannel PCM, I don not believe any apps are available
    to do that (or I am just not aware of them).
    If your are expecting the higher level encodings (DTS-MA or Dolby
    True HD), at least up to the 2011 models, they do not contain the
    required "protected audio path" to support those formats.

  • How to get two vga monitors on a mac mini 2012

    Hi Guys,
    please forgive any ignorance that follows. I am a new convert from a PC and have bought a Mac Mini 2012. I want to be able to use a monitor that I can see my music programme but run a second monitor that will allow me to display visuals from a VJ programme. Here is my journey.
    I bought the mac mini and the thunderbolt to vga adapter. Generic VGA monitor - worked a treat. I then wanted to run a second generic vga monitor form the hdmi port. After a lot research I chose an adapter for £15 that one of the reviews said worked perfectly for a mac mini and VGA. Bought it form Amazon. Didn't work - no signal etc - refund. Then I thought I would buy a monitor / DVD with a HDMI cable and do hdmi to hdmi and use that as the music monitor and use the thunderbolt port for the projector and VJ programme. Bought one from Asda. Plugged in great picture etc worked a treat but got a ground hum from new HDMI monitor. More research and realised that ground hum was a nightmare. HDMI monitor back and refund.
    It is doing my head in.
    I will be a happier man if someone could say that they have a mac mini 2012 and they bought this HDMI VGA converter and use a generic vga monitor and it works a treat. There is only so much stuff I can return before my lick runs out.
    I don't think I'm asking for much.
    Any help would be gratefully received.
    Cheers Pete

    Sorry, but I can not safely suggest a digital HDMI to analog VGA converter or if any would even work with the Mac Mini because I do not have and have not personally tested any.
    I can only suggest that instead of dropping more money into adapters or an HDMI to VGA converter, that perhaps' you should consider replacing one if not both with a more modern digital monitor that support either HDMI and/or DVI.

  • Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on Mac Mini 2012

    Hello!
    I've a new Mac Mini and I'd like to run it on Snow Leopard. Is it possible to install 10.6.8 on Mac Mini 2012?

    Only if you install it in a virtual machine under Parallels or VMware, and then only with some hacking.

  • Cable to migrate from Macbook (late 2007) to Mac Mini 2012?

    What cable should I use to migrate files from Macbook (late 2007) to Mac Mini 2012. The ethernet migration took 30 hours. The Macbook messaged success but the Mini did not show that any files were transfered.

    Where did you look for the migrated files? Look in the /Users/ folder and see if there isn't a new user account. If so, then log into that account where you should find what you migrated.
    The only way to do a migration any faster and more reliably is if both computers have Firewire ports. If they do then you can use Target Disk Mode to migrate.

  • Can I still use Appleworks 6.2.9 with Mac Mini 2012?

    Can I still use Appleworks 6.2.9 with Mac Mini 2012?

    Yes, MlchaelLAX, the KVM switch allow one to use one monitor, one keyboard, and one mouse between two computers.  It has been so long that I'm not sure how to find the MODELS to the G4 and G5. Unless you mean what makes the Mac tick.  The G5 is a dual 2GHz PowerPC, with 2 GB DDR SDRAM.  The G4 is a bit slower, will look tomorrow.
    I want/need a newer Mac model because unlike the days before OS X, all software was included as the newer OS were added, not so today.  I'm still using Tiger because I still use a couple programs from the old days.  When I eventually purchase a new model, I will have to buy all new software.  That's find if one has plenty of money and wants to learn everything from scratch, but I'm hanging on as long as I can.
    I tried TenFourFox, but it didn't allow video, of course since I tried Michael's suggestion, the video might not be an issue.  So far, every thing works the way it should. 
    I have a lot of faith in Mac users, their loyalties to Apple is what kept Apple floating when many thought it would sink.  These folks are survivors; I only wish the apple people on the top appreciated that loyalty today, but I guess things are too good.
    Thanks to all for you kindness.  Tomorrow I will show my husband how to remove his yellow threat on his G4.  If anyone can answer any other questions, please know I will keep viewing this post.

  • Is it right to mix sizes of memory modules in a mac mini 2012? for example 2Gb 8Gb?

    Is it right to mix sizes of memory modules in a mac mini 2012? for example 2Gb 8Gb?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You can do that without any problem, always that the total amount of memory is less than the maximum memory your Mac mini supports. A Late 2012 Mac mini supports 16 GB of memory, and you can find in this site the steps to install more memory > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4432?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US#1

  • 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.

    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.

  • OS X 10.9.2 on Mac Mini 2012 reboots randomly

    Hi everybody, I have a Mac Mini 2012 2.3ghz model. I bought with Mountain Lion and everything was very very good. I updated to Mavericks from ML and, a little bit slow, but, I knew it, I needed update since zero. So, I did it, and, since that day, I have a lot of reboots randomly. One day, I had as 4 or 5 reboots in 2 or 3 hours. I mean, ***!!!. Sometimes that passed when I close Safari with a lot of tabs. Sometimes when I eject an USB or HDD. It's so randomly.
    I've done repair permissions and pass it Ccleaner. The Mac is still rebooting. I have the last report. I hope you can help me. Thank you very much!.

  • Dual-screen with Mac mini 2012 ?

    Hi,
    I'd like to set-up a dual-screen on a Mac mini (2012), is it possible to use 2 HDMI monitors (1 to the HDMI output and the other to the Thunderbolt output with a HDMI adapter) ?
    Thanks,
    Sylvain
