Mac Mini not transmitting through the DVI cable to the display.

I have been using my Mac Mini with a MAG display, no problem. While traveling I used a Samsung display for a month no problem. Now I am back home and the Mac Mini will not transmit a signal to the MAG display. The cable and DVI converter are good and work with the MAG when plugged into my laptop, but not when plugged into the Mac Mini. How do I fix this problem? Thanks.

Apple recommends starting the TV/display first. Connect the cable and adapter to the TV and turn on the TV.  Turn on the Mac mini and after it has had time to start up completely, connect the adapter to the Mac mini. Hopefully the mini gets the proper EDID signal from the display and adjusts its signal output accordingly.

    I'm also having this problem.
    In fact two things have stopped working with my iPhone recently. 
    1.  iTunes no longer launches automatically when I plug in my iPhone to my iMac. 
    2.  The iPhone Notes app has stopped syncing via USB lead between the iPhone and the iMac.
    I have tried closing applications, and rebooting both the iPhone and iMac, but this makes no difference.
    I'm running OS X 10.6.8 on my iMac.

    If the Mac use Lion (10.7) you can use Airdrop for that.
    With Mac's not using Lion you may set up a computer to computer (ad hoc) connection.

  • Connecting Mac mini to internet through Xfinity router

    This one took me a couple weeks to figure out, and I've seen a couple of similar posts in the forums, so I decided to post my findings here in the hope that it will help someone else.
    Short version of the problem: I have a Mac mini (mid-2010 server version) that would connect to the Technicolor TC8305C WiFi router that was supplied to me by Comcast, but it would not connect "through" to the internet.
    Details: The Mac mini connected automatically to the Wi-Fi (via DHCP) of the router, but nothing would connect "through" to the internet -- not Chrome, not Safari, not Mail, not the App Store, nothing. This was baffling because every other device in the house (3 laptops, 2 iPhones, and an Apple TV) all connected just fine. I checked all of the settings in the Network pane of System Preferences, comparing the Mac mini's against each of the laptops; all of the settings were the same (default, "out-of-the-box" settings). I thought maybe the problem was something at the OS level because the Mac mini was running Snow Leopard server and the laptops were not (two were running Mavericks, and one was running Leopard).
    Here's where it gets weird... I connected the Mac mini to the router using an ethernet cable and everything worked normally for the wired network device. I was able to use the App Store to update the OS on the Mac mini to Mavericks. However, after I disconnected the ethernet cable, the problem came back and the Wi-Fi would connect to the router but not to the internet.
    I double-checked that any "server" software on the Mac mini was turned off -- e.g., that it was not trying to serve as its own DHCP server. As I suspected, none of these services were on, so that wasn't it either.
    In that same vein, I tried setting a static IP for the Mac mini in the router's control interface. Again: no luck.
    Lastly, I got this weird idea that the only remaining difference that I hadn't tried was the pre-configured IP address prefix octets.
    Solution: I reconfigured the router to use 192.168.x.x (like my previous router did) as the network prefix instead of the 10.0.x.x prefix that it uses by default. After I made that change in the router, everything fell into place and the problem went away. I never did figure out the reason this change was significant, but as I said -- it was the only thing that worked.

    Interesting, thanks for the report/tip!

  • Can i connect my iMac to a mac mini (wirelessly) and control the mac mini display on my TV?

    Can i connect my iMac to a mac mini (wirelessly) and control the mac mini display on my TV?

    Look up "screen sharing" in help
    You can control your mini (which I am assuming you are hooking to your TV) complete from your iMac.
    After you set up screen sharing, you can go to the finder, under the "go" menu choose "Connect to server" and then browse.  Choose your mac mini's name, and look for the "Screen Sharing" button.
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Sharing.
    Select the Screen Sharing checkbox.
    To specify who can share your screen, select one of the following:
    All users:
    Select this if you want to allow any user with a user account on your computer to share your screen.
    Only these users:
    Select this if you want to restrict screen sharing to specific users.Click Add at the bottom of the Users list and select a user from Users & Groups (accounts you have set up in Users & Groups preferences), Network Users (users on your network), or your Address Book. Or click New Person and enter a name and password to create a sharing account. Then select that user from the list, and then click Select.
    Click Computer Settings and set the following options:
    Anyone may request permission to control screen:
    Select this to allow anyone on your network to request to share your screen.
    VNC viewers may control screen with password:
    Select this and enter a password that VNC viewer applications can enter in order to control your screen.It’s recommended that you not set a password if you only share this computer’s screen using the built-in screen sharing viewer in Mac OS X.

  • Mac Mini (not Thunderbolt) to Thunderbolt display

    Dear apple friends,
    I jumped into the Apple world a few months ago now, with a lot of pleasure.
    Still, I have some pending problems:
    I have a Thunderbolt display and a Mac Mini (old generation, old square-ish display port) + a Windows PC (tower)
    I have also an adapter to connect the Mac Mini to DVI or VGA which I used before with a "normal" screen.
    I'm currently connecting solely my MBP Early 2011 to the Thunderbolt display, great!!!
    I'd like to do the same with my old Mac Mini and my Windows PC (DVI or VGA)
    Is there any easy way to connect each one to the display alternatively or EVEN better all of them to the display and switch between them.
    I know, I must get rid of em all but I still need them for the moment.
    Any help will be extremely appreciated.
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    Cheers

    The MacMini should be able to connect to it natively using the mini-display port.
    The PS3 will need an HDMI to mini-display port adapter.  Belkin and Kanex make such adapters.

  • Is it possible the current Mac Mini 2.7 Ghz i7 with two full-resolution displays and Thunderbolt operate?

    On Second thoughts...
    I don't really know how well Logic Express 7 performs on the Mac Mini because I have not yet had the chance to experience the two together. Don't let that put you off the idea though! From my understanding of the system requirements printed on the Logic Express homepage, it states that a G4 or faster system is required, however Apple personally recommend a Dual G4 or G5 is recommended alongside a minimum of 512MB of Ram. This Does mean that Logic Express will run on the Mac Mini but you will most probably find it lags when moving samples in real time and rendering them onto your hard drive. If you really want to enjoy making "serious" music on the Mac then you really need to be looking at the iMac G5 or the iMac Core Duo (Intel) purely for your tempers sake. As for an Intel Mac Mini, there is no indication as to when we will be seeing one on the market and therefore you may find yourself on the fence between keeping your fixed budget and holding on a little or jumping in and getting on the right road to a digital musical life - mac style.
    Maybe this will inspire your decision:

    What happens when you switch it on ?

  • Apple TV - iTunes Home Sharing - Mac mini - Not Working!!!

    Hi everyone, I am in urgent need of help here!
    I use the latest Mac mini to hold my iTunes Library to stream it over to my Apple TV with Home Sharing; however, there is a problem - it doesn't work anymore!
    If I use my iMac or MacBook Pro, the Home Sharing works great to the Apple TV, without a single problem. For the past week and a half now though, my Mac mini just doesn't want to stream anything over, despite still appearing under the "Computers" column on the home screen of the Apple TV interface.
    When I select my Mac mini, I get this seemingly endless loading screen:
    http://goo.gl/s0Qg1
    When that loading screen does end though, I get this:
    http://goo.gl/xj3eY
    It says "Could not connect to the Mac mini Library - Make sure your computer has iTunes open, and that it's on the same network as Apple TV."
    I always verify that my iTunes is open on the Mac mini and that both the Mac mini and Apple TV are on the same network, and still nothing works.
    Is there just some kind of issue with streaming the iTunes Library to the Apple TV via Home Sharing that I'm missing? There shouldn't be, but it's a very consistant problem that has come and gone away at random times, but now it seems to be a permanent and upsetting problem.
    If anyone can help me on this matter, please send your helpful words because I would like to fix this problem and not deem my Mac mini as a waste of money. I actually bought the Mac mini for the purpose of streaming my iTunes Library, rather than to bog down my iMac with lag and memory being chewed up, because I need it being fast for my work.
    Thank you!

    I've got the same problem. Bought a second Apple TV2 a couple of weeks ago and set it up to work with both my iMac and MBP - no problems. Both Apple TV's worked perfectly from both computers until... after a long night at work, the newest one decided to display a message telling me an update was available. Yes, you guessed it! I updated!
    Now, although this new Apple Tv displays the libraries from both machines, I get the messages in the original post when I try to access my iMac account - no problem though with my MBP account. Both machines have the up-to-date versions of iTunes. Thank goodness I did not update the older Apple TV2 box!
    I echo the sentiments of all the other posts - it is about time Apple pulled their finger out and sorted this mess.
    I wonder how many other people have the same problem?
