Mac Mini Server / No HDMI signal ?

Hi All,
Since yesterday, no signal passes from my Mac Mini Server through my TV (Full HD). The connection is performed by HDMI cable and works fine till one month. I have bought my Mac one month ago.
All the other devices works fine with the HDMI cable... so it is not the cable the origin.
I can always reach my Mac Mini from my iMAC.
I observe that I can only select in the system panel the following resolutions :
1680x1050
1280x1024
1024x768
800x600.
And sRGB IEC61966-2,1 is selected in the panel Color / Profile.
I can not see anymore the 1080p option...
I guess that the hardware doen't work anymore (Graphic card or HDMI output ?). I have serached a diag or someting to test the hardware in tehe system, but it seems that it is not include in the system.
Does anyone could suggest me something ?
Regards.

Sadly the hardware might be damaged. When two devices with separate power units are connected by wires strange things might happen during power on/off especially when they are conncted from different wall outlets. But before sorrow lets do some more checks:
- what is displayed under "About this Mac -> System Report -> Graphic/Displays", copy & paste here
- what exact model of mac mini do you have, do you know what exact Graphic card there is installed?
The PRAM might be corrupted as woodmeister50 pointed out. If you have already done the PRAM reset please let us know if the mac get's up from sleep now. I have such unfortunate experience that resetting PRAM helped with Graphic but introduced problem with sleep mode - the mac seems to wake from sleep, I hear HDD srcatches, but never turn on the HDMI display. From that point I can only cut the power and power on again to wake the display. I have disabled main sleep in preference, the display sleep works fine - turn off display and wake it back. However it is a little pain as I leave the mac turned on for days so now it takes 12W instead of 1W doing nothing. I got used to utilize the sleep mode and I can't make different habbit now. Still I do not know how to fix the sleep mode.

Using DVI to VGA adaptor with HDMI to DVI port on Mac Mini Server

Hi - I couldnt find anything on this, so I decided to post a new topic. We just recently purchased a Mac Mini server at work for iOS development. Before we launch in in one of our data centers and start remoting into the system, we need to conduct basic setup on the system.
For this, we pulled out an old stock VGA montior we have around the office, and found an apple DVI to VGA adaptor (http://i51.tinypic.com/2mzb4lc.jpg)
The problem is, the pins dont exactly line up... on the DVI to VGA adaptor there are 2 extra pins above and below the horzontial pin on the left hand side (http://i52.tinypic.com/2mxhg1j.jpg) that do no exist on the Mac Mini HDMI to DVI adaptor (http://i53.tinypic.com/2ywesrp.jpg).
Ive checked other converters and it seems that all of them are setup the same way, with two pins above and below.
Has anyone else had to deal with this issue? I really dont want to go and buy the Mini DisplayPort to VGA adaptor for one-time use.
Thank you!

Welcome to  Discussions!
What you are seeing is the difference between an analog and digital DVI connector, as DVI as a specification can provide both types of signal, depending on implementation. When used in a mode where only one or the other type of signal is provided, the different connectors prevent a mismatch. VGA being analog, the DVI to VGA adapter is using an analog DVI connector. The other connector you are dealing with is a digital only connector. HDMI is digital only, hence the HDMI to DVI adapter being digital only. Thus you can not adapt from the HDMI port to VGA with just passive adapters, you would need a conversion device between. It would be cheaper and more effective to use a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter.

Monitor Not Going To Sleep on Mac Mini Server With Lion

Summary: I am attempting to configure a Mac Mini Server that runs OS X Lion. This machine was originally shipped with OS X Lion; it is not an upgrade. My current specific problem is that my Viewsonic VX2835wm monitor will not go to sleep when the minutes setting on the Display Sleep setting for Energy Saver has been reached. Instead, the screen goes blank for a couple of seconds and is replaced with a blank blue backlit monitor. (Ironcially, the display sleep menu cautions: "Never letting your display go to sleep may shorten its life".) I very much want and need the ability to have my monitor go to sleep so as to save energy and to extend the monitor's life for as long as possible.
Additional Background: I have had a couple of calls with Mac support and they have been unable to tell me whether this is a "design feature" or a flaw in the Lion OS because they have had no similar reports and they do not have the latest hardare available running Lion Server to test to see if this happens with other monitors. (They also, of course, don't have the VX2835wm monitor.)
I do, however, know the following:
(1) My HDMI monitor is connected to my Mac mini via a DVI KWM switch (ATEN CS1784) such that the HDMI output from my Mac is converted to DVI (using the DVI to HDMI converter that came with my Mac Mini) and is then run through the KVM and then converted back to HDMI (using a full pin DVI to HDMI cable). However, I have tested the monitor with a straight HDMI to HDMI cable running directly from the Mac Mini to the monitor and it has not changed anything.
(2) The Lion operating system correctly recognizes (in Hardware / Displays) the model of my ViewSonic monitor.
(3) I have a MacBook Pro running Leopard (OS X 10.5.8) that is connected to the same monitor through the same KVM switch (by way of a BookEndz docking station) which properly shuts down the monitor when there has been no activity for however many minutes are set in the Display Sleep setting under Energy Saver. (Indeed, all I want is the same functionality on my Mac Mini that I have enjoyed for the last two years with this MacBook Pro.)
(4) When fully connected to the KVM, if I switch from my Mac Mini to my MacBook Pro and my Mac Mini display goes to sleep while I am working on my MacBook Pro, when I switch back to the Mac Mini, my monitor backlight will be off (and the power light will be standby yellow rather than the blue on) until I wake my computer up by touching the mouse of keyboard. I wonder if this may mean that the Mac Mini's signalling of the change in status from on to standby is somehow dysfunctional.
(5) Shutting down the server functions (and other open applications) has no effect.
I would greatly appreciate feedback from anyone out there running a Mac Mini with Lion regarding whether or not their monitors go into standby mode when the Display Sleep time is reached (please note whether or not you are running the Server or Client version, whether or not it is a new install or upgrade, and what monitor you are using).
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

No, I didn't solve the problem. The monitor still goes to sleep with WIndows but not with my Mac Mini. About 8 months ago I basically wore out the power switch on my monitor so I bought a wireless power switch to shut it off at the outlet. The VX2835wm monitor itself is now starting to fail as well-- a couple of times it's gone through a weird sequence of flashing screen colors on power up and ended up in an overscan mode (that took me for ever to figure out how to fix). I have decided to replace my VX2835wm with a Dell u2412m once it fails for good partly because I really want to keep the 16:10 resolution (very hard to find these days) and partly because I want to see if a different make of monitor will go to sleep properly based upon my Mac Mini power down settings.

Using a Mac Mini Server as a traditional stand alone desktop

Hello all, currently I have a late 2008 model 17" MacBook pro, Time Capsule, Apple TV and an Iphone 3GS and Ipod Traditional. I would like to add a desktop system to coordinate all of these items, to be the centerpiece is you will, in my home. I'm interested in buying a mac mini, I began to do research however and saw the Mac Mini Server which has greater memory capacity 4GB vs 2GB RAM, and dual 500Gb vs the standard Mac Mini which has one at 320GB. I would like to take advantage of these upgrades as I'm a writer and will be constantly on the web for work as well as likely keep a lot of items on the hard drive.
However I noticed the Mac Mini server utilizes Mac OSX snow leopard SERVER as opposed to the user grade Mac OSX. *My question is if the Mac Mini Server with MAC OSX server can still be used as a stand alone desktop, connecting it to a spare LCD television I have and a mac wireless keyboard/mouse?*
I'm aware that unlike the other mac mini and imacs it does not come with ilife and other pre-installed software, and *I want to know if it's still possible to purchase after market and install said software utilizing them in the traditional manor?*
Thank you in advance for any feedback you can provide and I apologize if my question was difficult to comprehend due to my lack of computer knowledge. I also apologize if this question is similar to others you've received lately as I did a quick scan of google and these forums and did not seem to find the specific answer I was looking for.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Let me clear up a misperception that you have. Both the Mac mini and the Mac mini Server have a capacity to address 8 GB of RAM. There are two SO-DIMM slots in each model. The mac mini comes preconfigured by Apple with 2 GB of RAM (2 x 1 GB). The mini Server comes preconfigured with 4 GB of RAM (2 x 2 GB). You can buy and install yourself up to 8 GB of RAM (2 x 4 GB).
You can even install Mac OS X Snow Leopard client, which will meet your needs a bit better than Server, now that folks have figured out how to do it;
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2539663&tstart=0
And yes you can buy and install iLife, and pretty much everything else that you want to include in your kit. Either model of mini works fine with wireless keyboards and mouses. If your LCD TV has an HDMI port, then a simple HDMI to HDMI cable would be the simplest manner to connect it to the mini.

Mac Mini Server (Announced October 20, 2009) - Does it do RAID1?

Apple announced the Mac Mini Server today for $999. It comes with two SATA hard drives, but there is no mention of RAID1. Does it do RAID1? This would be a good enough reason to get it. This could be a perfect media device - iTunes server, streaming video to TV via DVI/USB-to-HDMI adapter or DVI/optical-digital-audio_out-to-HDMI adapter, Time Machine backups, and file storage with RAID1. Without RAID1, this is just a mini sans the DVD drive.

Dunstan Cooke wrote:
I'm interested in a RAID 1 configuration to use as a file server in our office. 500 gb will be plenty of space for us, and I will couple this with an external 1 TB drive to use as a Time Machine backup.
Given that presumably the OS will come preinstalled on one of the drives, how do you then create the mirror of this? If I reinstall the OS from an external device, does the installation provide the option to create the RAID 1 array to install to?
When you boot from the Mac OS X install DVD (included with the Mac mini) you have the option to run Disk Utility to format/erase/partition or configure Software RAID. You can then once you have created your RAID configuration proceed with the installation in to that volume.
Note: The Disk Utility program (the GUI version) does not let you partition a RAID drive, so if you have the two 500GB drives, you can only have a single 500GB volume (RAID1) or a single 1TB volume (RAID0). It is possible (but not recommended by Apple) to create two or more RAID mirrored partitions on a pair of drives via the command line. To do this in this case, would involve booting from an external drive which has Mac OS X installed on it, then you can run the Terminal to access the diskutil command line tool.

Mac Mini server connections

I have an old 2002 23" Apple Cinema Display (plastic rounded frame). It used to be plugged into an old G5 with a 30pin oval male DVI type connector. Now I need to plug it with a new 2012 mac mini server (hdmi/thunderbolt). Anybody can help me to solve this apparently impossible task?

Use the HDMI to DVI adapter that came the the computer, followed by a DVI to ADC adapter

Mac mini server as a media server

Hi guys, my first time on this forum. Just purchased a mac mini server with dual HDDs. never used a server before. Have hooked it into a small home network.
1. Want to store iTunes music and videos on the server so that macs on the network can use the server to independently play music via the toslink mac mini output to a DAC, etc. Want also to play videos in the same fashion via the HDMI into a receiver.
2. Use Time Machine to back up to the mac mini server, but it appears to only allow backup to one HDD which is not sufficient capacity. Have hooked up another 500MB portable HDD via firewire to the mac mini, but not sure of the best way to configure it - back up one computer to it? How? or maybe use it to store the media and back up to both HDDs? How?
As you can no doubt tell I am a novice, but would appreciate any help. Thanks.

Create a new user, and import the music into his itunes. Enable sharing in the itunes preference pane. From then you will see the <username> playlist show up on other Macs looking for shared libraries (this must also be checked on them). Have this user auto login, and add iTunes as a login item (accounts preference pane) so it starts when the Mac boots. This way, you can listen to music from other Macs, or choose via an iPhone. I also use Front Row with an Apple remote control.
Not really sure why you can use the second drive for Time Machine. I use FileSync 2.2 to just copy the iTunes folder over and keep it synced, as I don't really need a full backup.
Log in as an admin, go to the Server Preferences and turn off any services you're not using.

Mac mini server, Snow Leopard, Linksys E4200, 802.11n

Hi,
I have mac mini server and wifi router linksys e4200.
Something goes wrong after software update on mac mini. For clarify I updated a firmware on E4200 too but I think that is not a problem.
Now I can't get full speed from 802.11n mode.
My download speed extemely decreases from 160Mbit(always before update) to 27Mbit
My router supports 3 modes of 802.11n
1. Mixed
2. Only Wireless-A
3. Only Wireless-N
It always was in mixed mode on 802.11n befare. That's mean it supports b/g/a/n
I switched it to 'Wireless-N' and can't get it work. My mac mini shows me the wifi network but it can't connect to that network.
Then I turned my router in Wireless-A. Now I can connect to wifi network but my download speed always no more 27Mbit
Also these results I see in Mixed mode.
As I understand my N mode does not work.
Another strange thing the System profiler shows me that my AirPort does not suppor N mode.
How to fix it?
Regards

Mac mini server and media center

I recently purchased a Mac Mini Server for a few reasons. One being to put all my music, video and photos on it and play it on my TV via the HDMI cable. I also want to share that music, video and photos with my wife and my daughters over the network.
So mainly one video, music and image library shared with a MBP an 3 MB's on my network.
Also most if my video is from our iPhones.
I'd also like to put all my home movie DVDs onto the server as well.
Ideally all the data on the server can be played on the TV and all 4 Macs at the same time and it will be organized and easy to access.
Any ideas of what I should do? I know iPhoto won't let more then 1 user at a time have access so that's out.
If you have any ideas that would be great.
Thanks,
Darren

iPhoto should really just be for still images. I don't think the automatic media scanner expects to see videos there. (This would be true of most 3rd party media center applications).
For further assistance, you might wish to consult on the Plex Forums on their website. I'm sure your feedback there would be appreciated.

Unwanted internal audio on Mac Mini Server 2010

I have a Mac Mini server (2010) connected to my Sony Bravia TV. Everything works fine. However, if I am playing a video and turn off the TV, the audio switches from the TV speakers to the internal speakers of the Mac Mini. Is there any way to stop this happening? I have already gone into Preferences->Sound and selected the TV (HDMI) as the output.
TIA

Seems possible although I would say one needs some care to ensure that the cooling systems operate as needed.

Mac Mini Server (Latest Model) and Bootcamp?

Hi, I am interested in purchasing a Mac Mini Server - The latest model. But have a few questions
1.) Before I purchase soon, is there an updated line coming out that I should wait for - Or no rumors as of yet?
2.) I read a while back that Mac Mini server, could not bootcamp. But recently came across a post stating that the newer systems w/ Mountain lion contained the necesscary files to bootcamp Windows 7 (off google, lost original link)
I need bootcamp for Audio production as some programs I have are windows only.

Yes, thank you for your reply. I did purchase the adapter, which works perfectly.
But now of course I have other issues regarding the use of 2 monitors. I now have both my Macs hooked up to the KVM using the 30" but I am unable to view the other monitor which is not a High definition display(1280 x 1024). It seems the only other port available on the Mini is the HDMI port which I have the HDMI to DVI adapter for. Is it possible to connect this VGA display with a DVI to VGA adapter (which I have)? Or am I looking at yet another purchase of a compatible display? This VGA display is primarily used for communications with coworkers..etc so that my 30" is only for my work. Thanks so much for your help.

I am having keyboard problems when trying to boot up an OS (bootcamp on Mac Mini Server)

I recently tried using bootcamp on my new Mac Mini Server.
I uploaded a windows ISO Image perfectly the way it asked, Windows 7, I followed the correct steps, euqally divided one of the hard drives, and I was ready to actually set up the new Windows section of my computer. During this booting session, my dog came in the room with her ball and knocked the computer plug out of the socket. Now when I turn on the mac, the fan still works, the same Macintosh sound comes up, the screen turns that usual very bright gray, but it stays on that gray. After a minute or two, the screen turns black, with a blinking underline, as if it were confused to choose which operating system it has to boot.
My problem here is that I use a wireless keyboard (not by Apple) -- and I suppose that bluetooth syncronizes with the OS and not the computer system itself -- so my keyboard commands do not get recognized in order for me to navigate into Windows 7 or OS X Mountain Lion. I tried solving this problem by purchasing a brand-new USB keyboard (since Mac Mini Servers do not have the PS/2 entrance). I guess this new USB keyboard didn't work, I imagine, either because the USB slots on the machine are not recognized by the computer's internal system, only by the Operating Sysytems (which I hope isn't true), or that the mac had never used that USB Keyboard and wasn't going to be capable of using it until it had installed the necessary drivers, but without the OS running that would become impossible.
So my question is: Is there a way that I can connect a keyboard to the mac so I can continue installing my alternate Operating System? Is it maybe another problem all together?

It is starting to sound more like Bootcamp failed to install properly.
Have a look at > Boot Camp 5: Frequently asked questions
then perhaps > Failed bootcamp instlation - Google Search

Dear all,
I'm trying to host a website on my Mac Mini Server. As far as I can see, my DNS is working correctly. Also my firewall is setup correctly. (I'm hosting another website which works OK). But I setup a new site. Basically a copy of the working site. But this site doesn't reflect an index.htm page. I receive an Error 403 with further information that there is no index document or that the site is secured. There is a contact link on this page directing to my webmaster. So I conclude that something is working, but no index.htm page. Has anyone similar experience? And offcourse a solution?
Many thanks.

Launch Terminal.app and issue the commands:
cd /Library/Webserver/Documents/
ls -al
And see if the files are readable by the web server. Here's an example index file listing that's owned by root and with group access for admin folks, and this file is marked as readable and writable for the owner and the group, and is readable for everybody else:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root admin 5094 Jul 25 2009 index.html
In this configuration, the web server would be using the other access; the web server can read this file, but not write to it. Here is how to duplicate these ownership and access settings on your own index.html file, assuming that you have that file present in the ls listing above, and assuming that you have issued the cd (change default directory) command shown above:
sudo chown root:admin index.html
sudo chmod ug=rw,o=r index.html
You will need to enter your administrative password for the sudo command.
I would very strongly suggest that you start learning some basics of bash and of Apache, because you're going to be needing those skills very soon.
