Mac mini 2014 with multiple screens

Hi there,
I'd like to know if I could use a Mac Mini 2014 with one Matrox TripleHead2Go on each Thunderbolt to handle 5 monitors (I don't need 6 but the question is the same)
Anyone ?

This would say no

Mac Mini 2014 with Apple bluetooth keyboard and Magic Mouse

Hi all,
I'm currently in the process of moving from my old MacBook to a Mac Mini 2014 and I have a couple of questions regarding functionality of the Apple bluetooth keyboard and Magic Mouse with the Mac Mini.
As these are the only keyboard and mouse I have available to me as I currently only have the one computer in the house, I'm wondering how I will pair them with my new Mac Mini (arriving next week for Christmas) without a wired user input device (keyboard or mouse). When I paired them with my MacBook, I of course had its trackpad and keyboard to navigate through the various steps, but as the Mac Mini does not have these, how does the pairing process work? Will I have to get my hands on a wired mouse/keyboard? I'm asking in advance because I need to get my new system up and running to start work on 27th December and so I need to know if I should pick up a cheap wired mouse/keyboard in advance.
My second question relates to the Mac Mini, Apple bluetooth keyboard and Boot Camp. Usually, when I want to boot into Windows on my MacBook, I hold down the Option/Alt key on my MacBook's built-in keyboard to be given the choice of operating systems. Sometimes when I do this using the bluetooth keyboard, it hasn't paired in time and it boots straight into OS X, so I have to wait until that has booted, shut down and then try again. Clearly, this might be a problem on a Mac Mini if I have urgent work I need to complete in Windows, so rebooting over and over until my keyboard finally pairs in time isn't desirable. Any tips here would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance for your help!

If you unpair your BT KB and mouse from the old computer they should pair during the initial setup of the Mini. However, sometimes they donot a wired KB and mouse is required. You can use any USB PC KB and mouse.
Once you get the BT KB to work you can use the Option key on the BT KB while booting to get your choice of OS to boot into.

Mac mini hung with multiple gpuRestart files logged, what to do?

My Mac mini (Late-2012) decided to freeze during the night. Now in the morning I was greeted with the plain boot-screen (Apple logo and progress bar) that was hung at about 50%. After waiting 30 min I manually rebooted the system. It came back on but was initially super-sluggish, took me 5 minutes to get to the desktop.
Checking the system messages I saw about 20 logs with the name Kernel_2015-03-15-012435_NANNA.gpuRestart (timestamp varying 30 secs). I won't bore you with the full details, but the start of the file is listed below.
My system hooks up to a Samsung monitor using DP and has never acted up like this before.
The 10.10.2 update was made as soon as it was released.
Power Nap is disabled, I normally leave the system on and let the computer sleep function kick in after 45 minutes.
What should I do?

Thanks for your response. Sorry that I did not phrase my question more precisely.

Mini DP to HDMI does not work with Mac Mini 2014?

Hi All,
I just upgraded from a Mac Mini 2011 i5 to a Mac Mini 2014. My old Mini worked fine running 2 displays with an HDMI cable to one monitor and a Mini Displayport to HDMI from the Thunderbolt port to another monitor. I can't seem to get the new 2014 Mini to see the monitor from either the Thunderbolt ports. Is this no longer supported?
Thanks
Ray

Hi there LaureynR,
You should still be able to do this. I would recommend taking a look at the article below for troubleshooting steps.

Is mac mini compatible with screens which are not Mac?

Is Mac mini compatible with screens from other brands different to Mac?

Yes.
We have two minis with three screens betwen them, LaCie, Eizo and HP. All work fine.
Obviously you need to check limitations on screen size etc.

Sounds like you may have a hardware problem since it won't read from DVD, and it is only a year and a half old. Hopefully all it is, is bad RAM*:

Mac mini 2014 w/OS 10.10.1 Still won't wake from sleep correctly

Yes, the wake from sleep still exists with Mac mini 2014 and Yosemite using a Benq 2760H monitor. AND, OS 10.10.1 DON'T FIX IT!!!
I've been monitoring the forum for several weeks now looking for a solution.
And today, the email arrived announcing 10.10.1 listing a fix for the Mac mini/Yosemite wake from sleep problem! Finally- a fix!
But alas, a false alarm. Quickly updated the OS to 10.10.1, restarted the computer, check to see that 10.10.1 was listed and then put the unit to sleep.
Anxiously waited for 3 or 4 minutes and pressed a key, and nothing!!!! After a minute or two there were several screen flashes, waited a few more minutes and still nothing.
Where do we go from here?
I've been a Mac user 20+ years and experienced several problems but never have experienced such a long delay in even having a problem addressed, much less fixed.

I am having this problem still, even after updating with the latest combo. I find that my Macbook Pro (using 10.8.5) will show the beach ball spinning with a black screen. I have to restart the laptop in order to clear this problem. Very annoying since this can happen two or three times a day.
You mention 'plists'. What are they? And if you delete them, are they recreated automatically upon restart?

Mac Mini 2014 Oct cannot wake up after sleep

Mac Mini 2014 Oct Version, cannot wake up after sleep by typing on keyboard or moving mouse (both hardwired USB) if external HDMI screen goes to sleep mode too (usually after 1 min if no signal coming from the MAC). To wake up, I ust turn off and turn on the screen and keep typing on the keyboard. I already checked "prevent computer from sleeping if display goes to sleep". But does not help. This is very annoying. I now try to set the sleep timer to more than 1 hour. Wasting my energy and not helping. I tried connecting my HDMI screen to a HDMI to mini-Display port adaptor cable, then plug into the thunderbolt port of the MAC. Same issue, no improvement.

I may know whats going on with the wake from sleep issue. I have a Mac Mini 2012 but this fix (see below) should work on any product running 10.8.2 Mine is at 10.10.1 and it worked.   First off you can tell if your Mac Mini is in sleep mode by looking at the small light on the front of the Mini. If its pulsing... going from bright to dim its in sleep mode. If you put your Mac in sleep mode, or it goes into sleep mode it will wake from sleep BUT ONLY for the first 4 hours. After 4 hours it will go into what is known as "safe sleep". The light on the front will be off and you won't be able to wake your Mac. The only way to wake the Mac when in safe sleep is to hit the power button and then wait a minute or longer as your system will need to pull the data from the disk and load to ram. This is causing the issue where its not waking from sleep. You can move your mouse or hit the keys all you want but it won't wake from sleep. This is a real pain as you have to press the power button on the back of the Mac mini and wait for the system to come out of its slumber.   Here's what Apple says:
With the release of the OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 supplemental update 2.0, a new feature was introduced to enter safe sleep after four hours of the computer being connected to AC power. This is an effort to comply with the European Energy Standards (ErP Lot6). This will only occur if there is no wireless or Ethernet activity and no activity from external devices such as USB storage devices. This is normal behavior for the following models:
MacBook Pro (Mid 2012 and later)
MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012 and later)
MacBook Air (Mid 2012 and later)
iMac (Late 2012 and later)
Mac mini (Late 2012 and later)
I have found a fix that puts an end to this nonsense..... Go to the Mac terminal (Google if you don't know how or youtube) and run the following commands (Very easy to do and if a novice like my self can do you can for sure)
1. When in the terminal mode type:
pmset -g          This will show your current configuration of your sleep, hibernate, etc You may want to print so you can restore these values if needed.
2. Change your standbydelay to 86400    86400 is number of seconds which is 24 hours. Here’s the command:
sudo pmset -a standbydelay 86400
3. Change autopoweroffdelay to 86400 Here’s the command:
sudo pmset -a autopoweroffdelay 86400
4. At last but not least change autopoweroff to 0   Here’s the command:
sudo pmset -a autopoweroff 0
Run pmset -g to verify your setting have changed. I rebooted my system and checked again to make sure. Since I made the changes no more going into Safe sleep!!! You can change the values to what you like. I used 86400 secs. (24 hours) I hope this helps!

How to use webmail address book on Mac Mini Server with Lion Server.

I have a Mac Mini Server with Lion Server installed; the webmail is setup and working but I can not get the address book to work.
I have followed an instruction from this website on how to activate the address book icon in webmail but can not add any addresses. Is there something that needs to be activatied before it will work?

No, I didn't solve the problem. The monitor still goes to sleep with WIndows but not with my Mac Mini. About 8 months ago I basically wore out the power switch on my monitor so I bought a wireless power switch to shut it off at the outlet. The VX2835wm monitor itself is now starting to fail as well-- a couple of times it's gone through a weird sequence of flashing screen colors on power up and ended up in an overscan mode (that took me for ever to figure out how to fix). I have decided to replace my VX2835wm with a Dell u2412m once it fails for good partly because I really want to keep the 16:10 resolution (very hard to find these days) and partly because I want to see if a different make of monitor will go to sleep properly based upon my Mac Mini power down settings.
