Mac Mini: Quartz Extreme not supported?

I have a Mac mini (late 2008) 2.0Ghz with an Intel GMA950. MB139LL/A -- It says Quartz Extreme is not supported. Is that right? This machine is new and shipped with Leopard. Do the Mac minis really not support Quartz Extreme?

I'm not sure which "Samsung SyncMaster 940" you have, but it looks like the technology in that monitor may be about 5 years old.
My guess is that monitors that have been released more recently will have better support.
Personally, I like to buy monitors from stores with good return policies, because you never know what you might not like about a monitor until you try it. Depending on where you live, Costco can be a good place to buy monitors, as they have probably the best return policy in the business. (90 days on TVs, but no time limit on monitors -- the last time I checked.)

Quartz Extreme not supported after 10.4.7 update

I recently updated to 10.4.7 and now quartz extreme is not supported.
How can I resolve this problem?
Mac Mini 1.42 GHz PowerPC G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7) 512 Mb RAM

Hi Dr. Smoke.
Many thanks for offering some advice so quickly.
1. The reason I believe Quartz Extreme is " not supported" is mainly because when i turn my mac on and start using OS X, if I am in say DVD player or might use a widget the screen is very "choppy". Not sure if this is clear, but the motion is choppy. When I checked my system profiler it showed:

Now, I just recently I decided to change my resolution and checked back with the system profiler and it said Quartz Extreme was supported. Core Image still says "Not supported".
Unless I manually change the res. everytime I use my mac it still keeps saying Quartz Extreme is not supported.
Can you tell me what is happening and is it fixable?
many thanks!

Thanks!

Hi Leek Mibles;
May I welcome you to the Apple Discussion Forums.
The reason your system is telling you it can do Core Image is because it doesn't have the hardware to support it. Since your system is a PowerBook, you are unable to upgade the graphic card because it is soldered in. So I am sorry to say that the only way for you to get Core Image is to upgrade your whole system.

GeForce4 MX Quartz Extreme not supported

My Geforce4 is supposed to be supported by QE. I did a install of tiger over panther and now nothing works. I can not install final cut 3.0. i ran all if the software updates from apple.
my machine is a DP 867 G4. I tried to hit esc when the QE error msg pops up but that does not work. Is there a solution to this. I don't know what else to do!!

I experienced a similar grief, FCE 3.5 was working OK until I decided to lower some of the settings to see if my computer would work faster. When I tried to open FCE 3.5 the sign [ Graphic card does not meet the requirement of this software ] Finally I went into (About this Mac) >More info > Graphics/Display and saw Quartz Extreme: Not supported. I then went into System Preferences >Display and saw the setting: Colors was in Thousands. I changed it to Millions and Wallah!! every thing works as normal again.
Check your display and make sure the color is set to millions. I hope this helps.
Peace Love & Courage

I also have a AJA Kona LHe hooked up. Thanks.

Pretty much from what I see, there is a conflict with the AJA drivers because every time I uninstall the AJA drivers then check the system profiler, both displays show that Quartz Extreme is supported. But once I install any version of the AJA drivers for Final Cut Studio 2 (5.1, 5.1 NDD, and 6) it will disable the support for Quartz Extreme for one of my displays. So the only thing I can do is hope there is a 6.1 or something that will take care of that issue. I read the update news for 6, and there was no fix for what causes this problem. Otherwise it would have said it fixed the problem that required them to make a NDD version of the last driver. I emailed AJA the other night about this, but haven't heard back from them. I hope they have a good reply.

Suddenly Quartz Extreme Not Supported

Just got my new 20" iMac G5. was enjoying the RSS and iTunes artwork screensavers only this morning and now after migrating from my G5 1.6 they're gone and system profiler now says Quartz Extreme Not Supported. Zapped Pram all software updated and done a couple of re-starts.
Can't think what I've done (or not) to screw up this feature
Any help welcome
G,

Ok update.... I followed directions here http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20081110225534811 and Quartz Extreme is supported on both now, but i'm still getting the ugly scan line.

IMovie won't run on brand new Mac Mini (Quartz Extreme message)

I just bought a new Mac Mini. The latest 2010 Mac Mini.
I have a Samsung 23" LCD monitor.
I tried to open iMovie, and got the following message:
iMovie requires a graphics card that is compatible with Quartz Extreme. One or more of your graphics cards does not support Quartz Extreme.
I'm new to the Mac world. Shouldn't Mac software run on Mac hardware?
Does anyone have any ideas?

Hello All,
I'm actually on my second Mac mini in a month (I returned the first one) with the same problem. I didn't have Perian installed, and certainly not Windows Media. I also have the problem that when I turn the computer on, it freezes on the Apple logo and the spinning gear stops turning. I have to shut down, then when I turn computer back on, it goes directly to the log in window. It will work fine from there. And most times, iMovie will start no problem. I hope that I don't have to return this one as well, but I might have to.

Radeon 9600 Pro - Quartz Extreme not supported? Help!

I've just got a Radeon 9600 Pro PC/Mac edition, as the 9600XT that came with the G5 died on me last week. It's taken an age to get it working, I could only boot in safe mode, in the end I deleted all my existing ATI extensions, installed the ATI Displays 4.5.7 and it works. BUT ... (and it's a big but)... performance is VERY slow and System Profiler says Core Image and Quartz Extreme are not supported. If anyone's got any ideas I'd be most grateful.
Thanks. Richard.

OK here's the latest. I did an Archive and Install (keeping my users home folders, though), and when the G5 restarted after the install it hung - the grey screen with apple appears, the little cog rotates under the apple, then that freezes and, although you can hear the hard drive working for a little while, it gets no further.
So I booted in safe mode, which works fine - ran the 10.4.10 combo updater, reset PRAM and NVRAM, same again - won't boot. Then I installed the ATI drivers from their website - same again. I can only boot in safe mode.
So i'm back where I was when I first installed the card - the only way I could boot other than in safe mode was to delete all the ATI extensions from /System, after that it booted but reported Quartz Extreme and Core Image not supported.
ATI support still haven't replied to phone calls and emails from Monday. So I' kind of at my wits end with this. Surely if I can boot in safe mode there can't be a hardware issue with the card, can there? Could there be something wrong with my AGP slot??
Any ideas gratefully received.

Mac Mini 2014 does not support 4K SST at 60hz displays

Many questions on this - bottom line, 2014 Mini hardware will only drive 4K at 30hz .. not the most desirable solution.
Does Yosemite 10.10.3 now enable Mac Mini 2014 to drive 4K SST displays at 60z? Answer = NO.

That is correct

Quartz Extreme not showing up on stock Mac Pro and card

I have purchased a new Mac Pro and LED Cinema Display from the Apple store last month. Safari Top Sites is not working and the "help" stated I need Quartz Extreme. Looked in the profile, but it is not listed in the list on the right at all. It is a stock apple card and display.
Is my monitor video card not even capable of using this feature or do I need to reinstall the system or something??

With Snow Leo basically if you can't get quartz extreme you shouldn't be running 10.6.x
Easy way to tell if it is working though would be that your menu bar across the entire top of the screen is transparent, or if you add a widget to dashboard you will get the ripple effect. If you are on a system where Quartz Extreme is disabled you will not get those effects.

I want to use a mac mini as a server supporting storage. Can I pair my macair to it for when I need to perform updates and maintenance ?

I want to use a mac mini as a server supporting storage. I have other devices such as an iMac and iPad that will access information from the server. I do not want to purchase a monitor and keyboard as the unit will sit in a cupboard out of sight. Can I pair my macair to it for when I need to perform updates and maintenance ?

I have a 2010 Mac Mini running Yosemite and Server which I use
as a headless home server.
I have is set up to allow screen sharing and can connect to it and
control it with my iMac, Macbook Pro, iPhone, and a 2011 Mini Server
that I use as an HTPC.
You can check this out for all the Yosemite Server capabilities:
https://help.apple.com/advancedserveradmin/mac/4.0/
I have iTunes Home Sharing set up on it and have my entire iTunes
library on it. I can then use any of my Macs to play Movies or Songs
from it and only keep locally a select subset of that on my individual
devices.
Rather than and update server, I utilize Server's Caching Service. The caching
server will duplicate any update download (system or MacApp Store purchases)
any time a device that is connected to my network down loads one. The update will
then be stored locally and all other devices will download the update from it which
can be faster than from Apple directly. This has the advantage of only having to download
once with limited bandwidth internet connections. There is also an Update Server service
available, but it is some what more involved in setting up. However, it will download
and store all available updates.
There is another thing as well if you do not care for syncing things like Contacts, Calendar, etc.
to iCloud, you can set Server up to sync these items across devices locally.

Dual Monitors on Mac Mini Late 2014 not working on Dell S2340Lc

Hey guys,
Got a mac mini and using it mainly for work. Working for an ISP and no one has used macs and I've opted to be the poor sucker that gets to deal with old people that don't know how to mac very goodly.
I have two Dell S2340Lc monitors. I have one connected up via HDMI and that works perfectly fine. I turned off the mac, I plugged in Monitor 2 with a MiniDP/Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter, powered on the mac and whilst it was booting, it had the Apple logo and the loading bar on the Dell display plugged in to the thunderbolt to hdmi adapter and then once it loaded up the log in screen, it went to the HDMI display. I logged in and in the displays section, the monitor plugged in to the thunderbolt to hdmi adapter isn't being detected, however I can plug it in to a Samsung 55 Inch Smart TV and it works just fine. I can set up dual monitors between the TV and the monitor in HDMI, but the Dell S2340Lc will only work with a HDMI cable into the HDMI port on the mac mini and will not work through the thunderbolt to hdmi adapter. On the display it just says that there is no signal coming from the computer.
Just wondering if any of you apple gurus had any ideas as to why this isn't working?
Thanks!

What if you switch monitors?
What happens if yo only have the Thunderbolt>HDMI>Dell monitor connected?

New mac mini system will not recognize wireless keyboard and trackpad.

My brand new mac mini system will not initialize properly. The return on the track pad are not being recognized, although scrolling is. Any others find this? Support could not figure this out on the phone. They sent me out to get new batteries and now they are closed. Batteries have been changed and still nothing.

My Mac MINI gave me one heck of a time trying to get it to recognize my Bluetooth mouse and keyboard. both Apple brand.
I finally had to connect an old USB mouse and keyboard to get the silly thing to connect.
Don't forget to repair permissions.
I also had to shut the computer down and start it back up a couple of times before it would connect. I think it has to do with the new Bluetooth 4.0 wireless technology.
I also turned off my Bluetooth devices and turned them on again, then I pulled the batteries out a couple of times and tried again and again.
I also put in new battries even thiough the ones I replaced were about a week old.
Finally, the MINI recognised the mouse and keyboard.
I wish I could tell you which thing did the trick.

Apple TV mirroring issues even with Mac mini,airport extreme bought at the end of last year,and an iPad 2

Apple TV mirroring issues even with Mac mini,airport extreme bought at the end of last year,and an iPad 2

I have the same issue with ATV3 and iPhone 4S. Everything works properly, no buffering issues when watching netflix, vimeo, youtube BUT when I try mirroring even a small 15sec iPhone movie it stutters and buffers and results to a choppy playback..same with larger mp4 files such as 1-1.5GB, buffers forever and never plays, I just re-encoded the same movie to 700MB and plays perfectly..
Why Apple, why?..so close..I can accept the bigger movie files issue, but not being able to playback properly an iPhone movie is funny..I recorded a movie with lower bitrate through Filmic Pro (Economy mode, up to 16Mbps)
and plays properly.
Is there an upcoming software update going to solve the problem or is it hardware related and therefore not fixable.
Please don't reply with a network related answer, by 2012 we know how to set up our networks and everything else runs flawlessly.
I'll apreciate a fast answer, we love Apple, but if it can't play an iphone movie (or a high quality movie from iTunes) it's just not up to my standards.
Thanks again.

Mac mini server - will not take 4GB so-dimm in bank 0

Mac mini server - will not take 4GB so-dimm in bank 0
Hello,
Memory works ok as long as the old 2gb 1066 so-dimm is in bank 0.
Switching the dimms around is no go. It seems to need that bank 0 populated with an old 2gb.
I can use only one 2gb and one 4gb for the mini server to boot.
It seems to have a hard time figuring out the 2x4gb configuration.
Tried PRAM and NVRAM reset. Always getting 3 beeps.
Any chance of getting the full 8gb detected?

Hi All,
I had the same problem that you, I had a mac mini server late 2009 with 10.7.3 OS X, with 4 GB of memory.
I have got these two memories on amazon:
"8Go mémoire - Kit double canal SAMSUNG original 2 x 4 Go 204 broches DDR3-1066 PC3-8500 SO-DIMM (2x M471B5273BH1-CF8) mémoire portable ordinateur DD"
First test to install in the mac mini:
Slot 0 - 4 GB
Slot 1 - 4 GB
3 beeps
2nd test
Slot 0 -
Slot 1 - 4 GB
OK
3rd Test:
Slot 0 - 4 GB
Slot 1 - 1 GB
3 beeps
4th Test:
1 - 1 GB
2 - 4 GB
OK
5th test:
reset PMU
Slot 0 - 4 GB
Slot 1 - 4 GB
3 bips
6th Test:
I did a test of the 2x4 GB in a mac mini 2010
OK
7th test:
Slot 0 - 2 GB
Slot 1 - 4 GB
OK
After to read this forum I gave up and I decided to let the mac mini with 6 GB. Well, as I wanted to try it again one last time, I tried to put the slot 0 memory forcing a bit. But I did not noticed nothing special.
Well, at this last time, it works. 8 GB in the mac mini server
here some screenshots:
I hope this info will help you to resolve this problem. But seriously, I am not giving you nothing else than hope
