Mac mini cannot dect view sonic monitor with thunderbolt-to-dvi interface

Mac mini cannot dect View Sonic VX1035wm display with Thunderbolt port-to-DVI-D interface.

Hi warlotte,
Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
If you have an Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter, it can be used with the Thunderbolt port on your Mac to connect an external display.
For more information, see this Frequently Asked Questions document:
Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ) - Apple Support
Some Apple computer have a Thunderbolt port instead of a Mini DisplayPort. Computers with a Thunderbolt port will have the following symbol next a port although the port physically appears the same as a Mini DisplayPort:
Thunderbolt ports:
Are compatible with all of the Mini DisplayPort adapters referenced below in question 5 and with Apple Mini DisplayPort equipped displays.
Note that "question 5" mentioned refers to section 5 of the above FAQ, which has a list of Mini DisplayPort adapters that are available from Apple.
Best Regards,
Jeremy

  • 3 DVI monitors with Thunderbolt Mac Mini

    Is it possible to have 3 DVI monitors with Thunderbolt Mac Mini?

    Maybe.
    The first could be via a Mini Displayport to DVI adapter
    The second could be via a HDMI to DVI cable
    The third would have to be via a Displaylink USB adapter
    It should be noted that the AMD powered Mac mini 2011 model will handle this workload better.

  • View Sonic Monitor and DVI Cable

    My cousin recently gave me a 2009 Mac Pro system and a View Sonic monitor, both of which were no longer being used at his workplace. The Mac Pro is working just fine and I have my old 23" Cinema Display from my Dual 2.7 G5 now hooked up to the Mac Pro.
    I picked up a Gigaware 6-foot DVI-D Dual Link cable from Radio Shack and showed the guy there a picture of the DVI connector from the video card on my G5. He said that cable would work just fine. This morning, when I hooked the cable up to the View Sonic monitor and my G5, there's no picture. I tried disconnecting and reconnecting, rebooting, but nothing is working. The monitor does go from displaying an amber light before the computer is switched on to displaying a green light after it's been turned on, but yet there's no picture.
    I also tried hooking the monitor up to my Mac Pro, but it doesn't display a picture there either. Of course, I was in the midst of copying some items between drives and couldn't reboot at that moment to see if that would change things.
    It'd probably be more helpful if I posted exactly what kind of monitor it is, which I'll do once I get home.
    One thing I have noticed is that the male DVI connector coming off the back of my 23" Cinema Display has less connector pins than the DVI cable I bought at Radio Shack.
    Here's a link to what I bought from Radio Shack. Aside from it being overpriced, is it the right cable?

    that cable would work just fine
    Correct. You have bought the high-end Dual-Link cable when a Single-Link would do. It will work fine anyway.
    The Mac requires that a new display respond to its query. It must reply with both its Name and its Capabilities. The query will be sent:
    a) When the Mac Starts up
    b) when a cable is attached at the Mac End
    c) when the (Detect Displays) button is clicked in System Preferences > Displays
    The absolute simplest thing your Mac can do is Startup Manager, aka Alt/Option Boot. Hold down the alt/Option key as your Mac starts up, and it should draw a gray or blue screen, then slowly add an Icon as each potentially-bootable Volume is found (this may take several minutes).

  • My Mac Mini will charge - but not sync with - USB-connected devices (ipod, camera, memory card reader). How do I fix it?

    My Mac Mini will charge - but not sync with - USB-connected devices (ipod, camera, memory card reader). I have tried unplugging the devices, restarting the computer, selectively unplugging and plugging in the devices, closing and opening the relevant applications (iTunes, iPhoto, etc). I have tried using different USB cables.
    It's like all of a sudden the synching service stopped functioning or recognizing these devices for some reason. The other ports work just fine (monitor).
    The only USB-connected external device that appears to be unaffected is the USB SuperDrive and it works on all the USB ports into which I plug it.
    How do I fix this?

    Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens or doesn't happen.

  • Mac mini not displaying on HDMI monitor

    Well, I have a Mid-2011 mac mini, and I have this monitor problem. While my thunderbolt moniter always works, (with a VGA adapter) my HDMI port hardly ever works. I have dual monitors, one HDMI and one VGA. They are both the same exact monitor (Dell Monitors) which both have VGA and HDMI ports. One is using the HDMI and one is using VGA. The HDMI one is all ste up, and has worked in the past, but it is currently not working at all right now. The VGA one always works, but the HDMI one switches on and off and either works at some point, then after a computer resart, it refuses to work. I belive its my computer that is refusing ti regognize it or something. Any hints help!

    I do not have a solution for you.....but as to the suggested resets.....so you will know the intent....

  • Is there anyway to have an 11 inch mac air connected to an external monitor with lid closed and still be able to see content. I have a wireless ketboard and mouse and have tried everything. Only works when plugged in.

    You are referring to a feature called Clamshell Mode, please read Clamshell Mode setup for instructions.
    BTW when posting when you use generalities such as "have tried everything" this tells us nothing. When posting please be specific and try to paint a complete picture. It just makes things easier for those trying to help you.

  • Mac mini late 2012 wakes up unexpectedly with password field filling by itself

    I just upgraded from OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 and have difficulty keeping my computer asleep. I always put it to sleep using the drop down menu.
    Symptoms are:
    1. Power light on Mac mini does not always pulsate from dim to bright when asleep. It is often constantly lit.
    2. Mac mini wakes up without user intervention with password field filling itself in as if someone is typing it.
    Attached peripherals:
    Apple Magic Mouse (Bluetooth wireless)
    Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad (USB)
    Actions I have taken to remedy the situation:
    * Turned Magic Mouse off using the power switch
    * Turned off Wake for Network Access
    * Turned off Sharing, deselecting every option
    * Turned off Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer
    This problem did not occur with OS X Mavericks.
    Nothing is resting on the keyboard or mouse that could cause this.
    Thank you for any suggestions and solutions. I appreciate any help.
    Paul

    Hi Loner.
    I did the following:
    1. Turned off Bluetooth and switched off Magic Mouse
    2. Installed Logitech USB mouse
    3. Put Mac mini to sleep
    I thought that would solve it but it woke up from sleep again with this in the logs:

    I'm perplexed but now we know it has nothing to do with the Magic Mouse.
    I'm no expert but this worked fine under Mavericks.
    Perhaps it is a keyboard driver that's a bit wonky under Yosemite while in sleep mode?
    Maybe the OS can't communicate properly with the keyboard while asleep.
    I have an idea to rule it out further:
    I'll try unplugging the keyboard and use the Logitech USB mouse to put
    it to sleep again.
    I'll report back with any findings.

  • Mac Mini 10.4 install disk work with a macbook?

    Hello All,
    Will my Mac Mini 10.4 install disk work with a Macbook? I believe the model is either a MB061LL/A or MB062LL/A.
    Thank You in advance!

    Yes, and possibly the system that disc can install is not Intel compatible. It would have to be a late 2006 model, which was the start of the Intel series of Minis.

  • Mac Min cannot see PC with either Airport Express on ethernet connections

    I am trying to network a Mac Mini, G4 Power Book, a PC laptop and PC desktop so far I can get the Mini to see the G4 and PC laptop but not the PC desktop. I have an Airport express and all but the PC desktop work OK with it. The PC desktop can see the Airport, which I have called MitchBVI, but when I try and connect to it nothing happens. The wireless card in the PC is a Linksys WMP5G. I have not enabled security yet as I wanted to get the whole network operating first.
    I have tried linking the Mini to the PC with an Ethernet cable and if I do that the PC can see the Mini but not the other way round.
    The fact that the PC laptop and the Mini can see each other suggest to me I have the correct permissions set on the Mini. As the PC desktop can see the Airport Express I assume that the Linksys card is working OK. As the PC desktop can see the Mac when the Ethernet cable is connected it would seem whatever permissions are needed on the desktop are set correctly.
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Mitch

    Thanks I had found your site and changed the MSHOME and WORKGROUP to a diffferent name MITCH that is how I got it working in part. My Powerbook can see the Mac Mini and so can the PC. The former through a wireless connection the later by ethernet. I can ping the IP address of the PC from the mac mini but cannot make the connection.
    For a while on the PC i actually had a wireless connection but could not access the net with it and it dropped out again. Maybe having an ethernet and wireless connection is the problemalthough with the wireless disabled that has not helped.
    I had a spare Linksys card and tried replacing it but that did not help. As I said in my first post other PC laptop works fine.
    Thanks

  • Is it possible to use the Mac mini as the start up disk with an older iMac (the basketball with moveable screen) as the monitor?

    I really, really love the moveable screen to our old desktop iMac, and would hate to lose that feature, but, let's face it, it isn't Intel.  Since you can use other hard drives as start-up disks, would it be possible to do so in this instance? and how difficult would it be?

    A slim chance, only if the new Mini was running a Universal version of 10.5.x, which the newest ones cannot.
    But, you could display & run the Mini on the old iMacs screen with Screen Sharing on the Mini, & the iMac using Chicken of the VNC...
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/cotvnc/files/cotvnc/Chicken%20of%20the%20VNC%202 .0b4/cotvnc-20b4.dmg/download
    Assuming the iMac is running an OSX version the CoVNC can use.

  • How can I connect a new mac mini to my old vga monitor? There doesn't seem to be a mini display port

    I have an old monitor with VGA port, and was wondering if anyone knows how to connect this to the new mac mini. Older mac minis have the mini display port, and if that were the case I would use the mini display port to VGA adapter, but this new mac mini doesn't have one. It just has the thunderbolt port or HDMI port for displays... I've been looking for an adapter to connect my display to one of these but cannot seem to figure it out. Any advice? Thanks in advance.

    The Thunderbolt port is the one to use; you use the same mini-DisplayPort adapter you used for the older minis.
    Regards.

  • My Mac mini no longer detects my monitor resolution

    My Mac Mini has stopped being able to detect the resolution of my monitor, which is a 1680x1050 Acer widescreen.  1680x1050 is also no longer a choice of resolutions under 'Displays' in 'System Preferences' so I cannot select my monitor resolution manually.  I suspect that there is a bug somewhere in a recent update which has broken support for my monitor.  Is there an official channel by which I can report this bug?  Has it been reported already?  Is there an ETA on a fix?  This renders my Mac more or less unusable.

    It's unlikely that the upgrades had anything to do with the problem, slim superdrives are just not all that reliable.
    You might try a few tricks before taking it in for service or springing for a Mac compatable external DVD drive.

    2. Reset the PRAM > Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM

  • 2014 Mac Mini connected to Samsung s22b310b monitor colors bad upon waking from sleep.

    Occasionally when I wake the 2014 Mac mini from sleep the colors on the monitor are very bright.  I go into systems preferences and then display.  I click on the color button and it will change back to normal.  I have tried both a DVI to mini displayport and VGA to mini displayport.  Problem occurs with both.  What else can I try to prevent this from happening?
