Mac Mini (Mid 2011) AirPlay to Apple TV

Hi, everyone. First, thanks for reading my post. My question is about the Mac Mini and the new AirPlay feature that comes with OS X Mountain Lion. I've got a Mac Mini that I use as my media center. It has all of my movies, music, photos, etc. I use my Apple TV in my living room mainly for the GUI, but occasionally I need to remote-connect to my Mac Mini. Currently, my Mac Mini doesn't have a monitor - I access it through my MacBook Air using Screen Sharing. But I'd like to be able to see the desktop on my living room television through my Apple TV using AirPlay.
Currently, all that happens is that I'll get a green 4:3 screen through my Apple TV when I use AirPlay. The MacBook Air can AirPlay just fine, but no dice on the Mac Mini. I'm thinking it might be a resolution thing, but apparently I can only get my Mac Mini to go up to 1680 x 1050 (no 1920 x 1080). Furthermore, I'm thinking this is all an issue because I don't have my Mac Mini connected to a monitor. Before I got the Apple TV, I had the Mini hooked directly into my television with an HDMI cable and was able to get full 1080 resolution without a problem.
So, my questions are:
1) Has anyone ever had this experience with the Mac Mini and AirPlay?
2) Can anyone think of a better, more efficient way to hook up my media center?
Best regards and I look forward to your answers! Thanks again for reading and have a great weekend!

Hey Spost!
You have explained exactly what happened to me last night.  I was afraid it was part of the 10.8.3 update or the latest ATV software update that hit this week.   I tried from my macbook pro and the airplay from 10.8.3 and the atv software worked fine.  
Previously my mac mini was connected to a monitor in my basement but last night i made it "headless" and moved it to my "server closet"  airplaying prior to the move worked great ... then last night 4:3 Green Screen. 
My guess is the computer needs to be connected to a external display in order for airplay resolution to figure itself out.   Via Logmein i could see that the Mirror mode wanted to use the resolution that fit the mac and not what was best for the Apple TV ... Even forcing the change made the setting go right back to this mac. 
Looks to be a bug in a plist file that apple would need to fix as many people run headless mac mini's and now wish to AirPlay to their Apple TV's without the need for a external cable run.

  • How do I pair my new Mac mini (mid 2011) and white Apple Wireless Keyboard (2003)?

    I just bought a new Mac mini (mid 2011) and can not set it up via my Apple Wireless Keyboard (2003). I'm disheartened but not surprised that my Bluetooth 4.0 Mac isn't backwards-compatible with my Bluetooth 1.0 keyboard. But I can't find any documentation confirming the fact that my non-paired, but tested & perfectly functioning keyboard will not work with current Macs.
    I was however, able to locate a tech support doc (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4112) that mentions my Apple Wireless Keyboard (2003) is not compatible with iOS devices. (Which is not critical because iOS provides a non-physical keyboard. Aside, it would be lovely were Apple to add a non-physical keyboard to Mac OS X, if only so new desktop owners can continue to set up their Macs in a pinch.)

    I just bought a new mini mac (lion 2011) with a wireless keyboard.  I could not get the mac to recognise the keyboard.  Spent several hours back with the Genius team who replaced keyboard and mac but did not get anywhere.  They gave me a wired keyboard, was able to configure the mac and then it recognised the wireless keyboard.
    Seems this is a problem with the new mac/OS

  • Mac mini (mid 2011) no airplay icon

    Hey all, I just got a apple TV 3rd GEN, and can't seem to see this airplay icon on the top of my screen? I got a mid 2011 mac mini with a 2.7GHz i7 osx lion 10.7.5.
    everything works with connecting itunes to apple TV but I want to do airplay mirroring.
    is there something wrong with my hardware ?
    thanks for you time,

    What you need is OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) to be able to Airplay from your Mac mini mid 2011.
    Requirements for AirPlay Mirroring in OS X Mountain Lion
    An Apple TV
    Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation) with software update v5.0 or later. See How to update Apple TV software.
    Supported MacsAirPlay Mirroring in OS X Mountain Lion takes advantage of the hardware video encoding capabilities of 2nd and 3rd Generation Intel Core processors. Hardware video encoding allows AirPlay Mirroring to efficiently deliver high frame rates while maintaining optimal system performance. The following Mac models have processors that support AirPlay Mirroring:
    iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
    Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)

  • Mac mini mid 2011 missing apple logo slide up animation at logon in Mountain Lion!

    Here is a video I have found on Youtube to show the animation for those who didn't know, also showing a macbook pro which is missing this animation (Although in the video the OS is Lion but this is not the main point of this thread). the Apple logo gently slides up and the user image and password field appears:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztpCNmDYDZ4
    I have installed Mountain lion on my Macbook Pro 13inch Early 2011 first and I loved this little animation which made the boot even more beautiful.
    However when I installed Mountain Lion on my Mac mini mid 2011, I had to see that the animation is missing.
    Luckily I have an iMac 21,5 incher Late 2009 as well, so I updated the OS and the animation was present on the iMac.
    So I'm wondering if this is a bug or is there any reason why this nice animation is not visible on my Mac mini?
    I did a Clean install as well to make sure it's not the upgrade's fault and I got the same result.
    Both my Mac mini and Macbook Pro has SSD. My iMac has a regular HDD.
    There was a thread opened about this issue where they said the animation issue would be solved in Mountain Lion:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/18890484#18890484
    Well it was solved for my Macbook Pro and iMac seemingly but not for my Mac mini which is the latest from the family so it makes me sad that my newest computer is missing out on this little eyecandy. (Also I use the Mac mini most the time, so I miss this animation greatly)

    Same problem here. My MacBook Air (mid, 2012) doesn't have the issue and the animation is smooth. The problem is with my Mac mini (Early 2009). When it boots the apple logo shows up, then the spinning circle and then the screen goes black and the login screen appears afterwards with no animation.

  • I have a mac mini mid 2011, this device have; 2,3GHz and 2 Gb Memmory.I want to upgrade the memory and i need the list of supported memory modules

    i have a mac mini mid 2011, this device have; 2,3GHz and 2 Gb Memmory.I want to upgrade the memory and i need the list of supported memory modules. i am from turkey.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The Mid 2011 Mac mini supports 8 GB of memory officially, but you can install up to 16 GB of RAM, so you can use 2, 4 and 8 GB modules. You can buy more RAM from OWC or Crucial.
    If you are looking for memory at a local shop, make sure you buy 1333 MHz DDR3 memory. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4432?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

  • Does a 500 GB SSD work in a Mac Mini (mid 2011)?

    I have a Mac Mini (mid 2011), 2.5 GHz and 4 GB of memory.
    The iOS app called MacTracker says that this model is "configurable to 256 GB solid-state drive or 256 GB solid-state drive and 750 GB (7200-rpm) hard drive".
    I was thinking about buying a Samsung Electronics 840 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Single Unit Version Internal Solid State Drive. My doubt is: will it work in my Mac Mini or the maximum storage must be 256 GB? If it runs a 500 GB SSD, a Samsung EVO SSD would be a possible (or a perfect) choice?

    The info from MacTracker brings up the options available in a Configuration to Order
    at the time the product was new; so that tells people who may have found their unit
    bought with odd specs, such upgrade may be due to a CTO Apple factory upgrade.
    Other options that can work, of even higher spec capacity, can be researched in
    such mac-centric sites as macsales.com and others who have a reputation for
    customer service and quality products; many have information on their sites...
    Doesn't hurt to ask. OWC macsales may even have an online chat. Info on how
    to upgrade Apple products with later parts (out of warranty, etc) is available in
    their page as well as iFixit.com guides. Everymac.com also offers spec info.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Mac Mini mid 2011 Mini Dvi to VGA problems

    I have a mac mini mid 2011 and I have to connected to a display in work.  The display only has a VGA entrance, so i bought a mini dvi to vga adapter from my local mac store, but when i connected to the display everything looks odd, the whole display has an odd purple look, I have tried to use a different VGA cable but keep having the same problem, I even tried a different display with the same results, anybody knows why this happens and how to fix it?

    Your welcome!
    On your end before returning the Adapter,

    5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.

    then if that doesn't help, return the adapter and explain the problem to the Apple tech person at the store.

  • How do you plug a VGA monitor to a Mac mini (mid 2011)

    I used my older Mac mini (mid 2007)  with a VGA LCD monitor through an "DVI to VGA" adapter with no problems.
    However, this older adapter does not fit in the "HDMI to DVI Adapter" supplied with my new Mac mini (mid 2011).
    There are no receptacles (holes) in the "HDMI to DVI adapter" for the four pins located around the flat tab on one hand of the older adapter .
    Any suggestion on how to plug a LCD VGA monitor to a mid 2011 Mac mini?
    I know there is a Thunderbolt port and a HDMI port,
    but being able to use an inexpensive VGA monitor for set-up and periodic maintenance,
    without having to fire up a huge plasma screen each time, would be nice.
    There is no displayport on this mid 2011 Mac mini.
    There does not seem to be any HDMI to VGA nor  Thunderbolt to VGA adapters on the market.
    Any suggestions?

    The > Apple - Thunderbolt Port is the same as and doubles as a Mini DisplayPort.

  • Mac mini mid 2011 and logic pro 9 in 64-bit?

    Hi,
    I have a mac mini mid 2011 with a 2.7HGz intel core i7 processor and 8 GB of RAM. I have been using Logic Pro 9 in 32-bit mode and tried switching to 64-bit mode. I unchecked the "open in 32-bit mode" in the "get inf" section, but logic still opens in 32-bit mode.
    My question is: Can my computer run Logic Pro 9 in 64-bit mode???
    Thankyou!

    Hi there jdtay2,
    It looks like your model of Mac Mini does have a 64-bit processor according to the article "How to tell if your Intel-based Mac has a 32-bit or 64-bit processor"

  • Mac Mini (mid 2011) ram slot has failed: Any others experiencing?

    This seems similar to this problem, mentioned in a number of threads covering MacBooks, best described here: MacBook Pro loses access to 1 memory slot upon shutdown or reboot in OS X 10.8.1
    I'm having the same issue with a Mid-2011 Mac Mini (purchased June 2013).  As in that linked tread, overheating after OS upgrade (in my case , Mavericks) seems to be related.  I had constant crashes at sleep beginning about three weeks ago, and three tones at boot.  For about two weeks I could get it to reboot by unplugging and giving it some time. Until today. Cleaned. Tested both chips in both possible slots, but will always get three tones when either chip is in top slot, fine when that slot is empty. Hardware test appears to just ignore an empty slot, so really not helpful (and won't boot with filled slot).
    It appears the only real fix is a new logic board, which appears is almost as expensive as buying a new machine.
    I'm not going to get into "loosening screws" as suggested in linked discussion, but that may work for a powerbook.
    It does sounds like heat related warping. I saw early heating problems with this after 10.9.5 upgrade.  Ended up building a special vertical stand (Mini's venting is rather poor) and installed "Temperature Monitor" by Marcel Bresink Software, which I recommend, and uninstalled some things (including killing a Mac update process that was running constantly) .  This got the heat under control, but it looks like the damage was done. Now I'm running on one 8gb memory chip, which dramatically shortens the life of the machine.  It won't be a candidate for a Yosemite upgrade coming shortly.
    Must say I'm pretty disappointed in "Apple quality". Had similar experience (repeated shorts of logic board, replaced 3 times) with a MacBook c.1997, when Apple Co. was looking like it might not survive, and lots of folks were having such problems.  But at least then they would repair it for free. Given the premium price (without premium quality), I think this will be my last Mac, after having started with a Plus in the 1980s.

    Mac Mini mid 2011, installed 2x 4GB memory when first got this machine, has worked well till this year 2015 when it slowed way down and I found memory slot #2 was not working.  I swapped the cards and also reinstalled the original mac memory, still only half of the memory is detected in one slot.  It is always the same slot, not dependent on the memory card.  A mac mini which never gets moved.  Mar. 2, 2015

  • Mac Mini (mid 2011) Display Issues

    Hello.
    Recently I started having some issues with the display from my Mac Mini (mid 2011, core i7, 8GB, OS X 10.9). During usage the screen started flickering erratically and then went blank. I turned the Mac off and found that it was very hot so I removed the bottom cover and the RAM chips and gave it a bit of a clean (it was quite dusty) then I allowed it to cool before putting it back together. After putting it back together it worked for about a day until it had the same problem.
    Now on startup the following occurs:
    1. On the start-up screen (where the Apple logo is displayed) the screen is overwhelmingly pink (display RGB settings are fine), except for the left half of the Apple logo which remains grey.
    2. After progressing through the start-up screen the display goes white and nothing further happens.
    I have checked the display and it works fine. The HDMI cable is not the issue either.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be causing this and a possible fix?
    If it is of any help the monitor is an ASUS MT276H.
    Thanks.

    So I have tried a SMC reset and all that has changed is the front indicator light is off and the fan has kicked it up to 11. Please find a picture of the display I described earlier at the following link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wirrc01xut3p8tx/Photo%201-12-2013%2010%2054%2004%20pm. jpg (sorry it was taken with an iPhone 4).
    I have never performed an SMC reset before but it seems like it is taking a long time and/or not working. I'm at a loss to what this might be.

  • Mac mini mid 2011 won't boot

    This morning I found my Mac mini mid 2011 frozen. I shut it down by holding the power button.
    Now it does not boot. When I turn it on I don't hear the usual chime sound or any other beeps. I can hear the hard drive powering on and the fan starts to work at full speed. Nothing appears on the monitor. No output signal at all.
    I have tried disconnecting all cables, press power button for five seconds and the. Try to boot again. No luck...
    Any ideas?? I loads of work to do and I am loosing hope. No apple stores in Greece to take it in...

    I've tried everything including SMC rreset. No luck.
    One other clue is that if try to boot up without Ram installed, it recognizes that ram is missing and beeps  
    so to summarize the symptoms:
    1. Computer has power
    2. No chime sound or any other beep when I power the computer on
    3. Fan works at full speed
    4. No output display signal
    5. I can hear the hard drive powering on
    6. The computer recognizes if you try to boot it without ram and beeps
