In fact, do 3 in a row, takes a bit of time.
Long shot, but...
Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there, some things will change it for their own use, then not set it back.

    You appear to be confusing Macs and iOS devices. The Mac mini does not run on iOS 4, if new, it has Mac OS X 10.6.x Snow Leopard.
    You should sort out the profile that you show so we know what devices you have with which proper OS and then be much more explicit about what the problem is.

    Use an external optical drive such as Apple’s USB SuperDrive.

  • Mac mini doesn't send sound to HP LA2206xc Monitor

    I have attached my Mac Mini (late 2009) with a DVI - Mini DVI connector on a the HP LA2206xc Monitor, but I don't have any sound through the speakers of the monitor. Also the webcam doen't work with facetime.
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    I have attached the monitor with a displayport cable to the mini display port but no sound or video. Does the my Mac Mini (late 2009) support sound and video through the Mini DisplayPort or do I need to change something in my settings. I read somewhere that you could reset your pram?

  • Mac mini doesn't have preinstalled apps?

    according to this link:
    http://www.apple.com/mac-mini/built-in-apps.html
    a mac mini is supposed to have a number of apps preinstalled. From that link all I have is Safari, Mail and Books. When I go to the app store most of them cost $$. I had posted about this earlier but apparently the thread closes if you hit "solved my problem." I guess I jumped the gun on that. Is there any way to get those apps from the store without paying for them (if indeed they are supposed to be on the mini).
    Thanks

    When did you purchase the Mini?
    Some app like iWorks were only free for computers first activated after about Oct 2013.
    Also, have yo sent to the Mac App Store and singed into the account that yo used to initially set up the Mini and then go to the Purchased section?

  • Mac Mini doesn't have a cd/dvd drive. How can I load an application from a cd?

    When I bought a Mac Mini I was told that I could download form a cd/dvd on a pc that was in close location to the Mac. How do I do that? Can't seem to find any instructions.

    Click here and follow the instructions.

    What do you mean it doesn't have sound? If it's a new machine call AppleCare, you have 90 days of support via telephone and can find the number in your owner's manual.
    I'd also STRONGLY suggest you book mark and begin using:

  • I just puchased a Mac Mini. I have to have a working web cam. The reviews I've been reading don't sound promising. How do I make it happen?

    I just purchased a Mac Mini. I HAVE to have a working web cam. I've been reading web cam reviews and I haven't found one that has a Mac driver. It sounds like the performance on Macs are bad. 2 of the reviews are positive. If I understood it right, one guy made some settings changes on his comp. to make it work. I'm new to Macs and can hardly believe that Mackintosh hasn't produced a single portable web cam in all the years they've been in use.

    Actually I'm pretty sure that Apple did produce a webcam, tho' it was some years ago.  Most USB webcams should work fine. If you HAVE to have one, and know that it will work, then get an Apple Cinema Display or Thunderbolt Display - price tags are pretty hefty tho'!

  • My Mac Mini doesn't recognize my Avengers DVD--it keeps saying "Supported disc not available." I've tried other DVD's which work, but not this one. itunes and everything else has been updated to the newest versions. Help?

    My Mac Mini doesn't recognize my Avengers DVD--it keeps saying "Supported disc not available." I've tried other DVD's which work, but not this one. itunes and everything else has been updated to the newest versions. Help? Also...It doesn't recognize the digital copy DVD.

    I have ALL the exact same symptoms as on my home computer.
    It sure sounds to me like something on the iPod is broken. If it's under warranty then I would send it back for repair. If not, check out some of the web repair services, such as iPodResQ etc.

  • Mac mini doesn't boot

    Hi,
    My 2009 Mac mini doesn't boot anymore : all I get is a blank screen, I can't even chose to boot on the restoration drive.
    From your experience, what do you think it could be linked with ? motherboard ? RAM ? It doesn't looke like a hard drive issue.
    Thanks
    Benoît

    Hello! I'm having, what sounds like, the same issue.  Everything was working fine, until I ran a combined update, as prompted, for 10.8.2.  After the normal reboot, the computer boots to a plain, white screen with no Apple.  The computer is not responding to any keyboard command at startup, be it any of the reset commands, 'C' to boot to the optical drive, or option to select the startup destination.  When pressing the Caps/Num lock keys, I notice that none of the LED lights will turn on on the keyboard.  The piggybacked optical mouse is not showing it's red light from the bottom either.  These tested fine on my MacBook Pro, however, and have always worked with the Mac Mini.  Connecting and reconnecting the devices does not help.  I know how to run all of the hard disk repairs, the permission fixes, etc., but it appears as though something is stopping my USB devices from being utilized (or even powered) at startup.  I work in IT, and I support Apple computers every day (point being, I do know my stuff).
    I opened the case and disconnected the hard drive from the logic board, thinking a potential hard disk issue is to blame.  Upon restart, I still get the BONG (chime), but the machine will still not respond to any keyboard commands.  Plugging in a USB stick that was created as a Mountain Lion boot device in Disk Utility with the InstallESD.dmg doesn't yield any results (as I am unable to 'tell' the computer to boot from it).  The system disc that was packaged with the Mini is in the optical drive, but the Mini won't boot to that either.  I'm at a complete loss.  This is a 2010 model which was purchased new in December in that year.  I'm using HDMI directly to an HDTV.  The cable is working, the TV is working, the optical drive works in another machine, and the hard disc makes the necessary sounds (but not anything out of the ordinary).
    To reiterate, this happened IMMEDIATELY after installing the combined 10.8.2 update.  I am seeing a lot of posts about this issue, but no actual solutions.  The dialogue seems to die somewhere after, "Reset the PRAM."
    PLEASE ADVISE

  • TS2057 mac mini doesn't see dvd

    Recently my mac mini doesn't see dvd's when i put them in to play.

    I have to agree with Dah●veed and use an > LG GE24LU20 Reviews that I call Brutus.
    Not only has Brutus spared the SuperDrives in both my 2006 iMac and 2010 Mac Mini, but he runs circles around the SuperDrives when it come to burning, importing, playing, even booting from System Install and Upgrade Disc's.
    Other External DVD Drives that are highly reccommended here in the forums, are:
    OWC's > SuperDrive DVD, DVD Dual-Layer, CD-R/RW, Blu-Ray Optical Drive Solutions FireWire, USB2, eSATA
    and the LaCie's > LaCie - LightScribe DVD±RW, Duplicators and Blu-ray - USB 2.0 & FireWire

  • Mac Mini 2011 has no sound offers no choices in output.

    My new 2011 Mac Mini has stopped outputting sound.  It worked just fine until a restart last night.  Now, the only sound I get is the startup tone. In the output section of the sound module in system preferences, there are no options listed - it says "no output devices found".  I've rebooted.  I've tried other output devices, but I don't have any that are USB to try - only mini plug.  Running Lion 10.7.2

    Contrary to what many have said on this and other threads, I think this problem is hardware, not software. It is actually quite easy for the sound card ribbon to become loose. When I had this problem on my mac mini, I opened the mini, pulled the sound card ribbon off at both ends (you can't miss it, it is orange and flat and has a 90-degree bend), waggled it back and forth, and reseated it into its connectors at both ends. Snapped the mini back together and sound returned.

  • I just bought a Samsung S22B310B computer monitor and hooked up to my Mac Mini. I have my mac set to the 1920X1080 resolution but the entire screen (21.5") is not filled. It looks like non HD channels do on an HD TV. Used regular hook up not DVI.

    Just bought Samsung S22B310B computer monitor and hooked it up to my mac mini. I have my mac set to the 1920X1080 resolution but the entire screen (21.5") is not filled. How do fill the screen? it fills the screen on other resolution settings. I have it hooked up regularly and not to the DVI hook up. I'm not a computer savvy person please help!

    That monitor supports both (digital) DVI and (analog) VGA connections, so you should not need a converter or use a different adapter.
    You should use the Apple Supplied HDMI to DVI Adapter and a (digital) DVI cable to the monitor.
