Mini (2010) on 42'' Daewoo LCD

I've recently purchased a brand new 2010 Mac mini and, so far, I'm loving it.
But, I've also bought a 42'' Daewoo FullHD LCD TV (DLX-42L1F).
The problem: When I hook up the mini via HDMI to the LCD, I initially get a 720p output.
If I go to settings and change it to 1080p, the screen goes black.
If, instead, I set it to 1080i, the screen goes black.
This, as you may imagine, annoys the **** out of me.
I have to restart the computer holding 'shift' just to get an upscaled 720p desktop on a 1080p TV.
I know the TV can output 1080p thanks to this two simple details: 1) The box it came in says so. 2) My HDMI DVD player gives me 1080p with no problems.
Am I missing something? How can I make this work?

Man, I totally forgot to check that out. How dumb am I?
Don't be so hard on yourself. Many minds working on a problem are always better than a single mind. That's what these forums are all about.
Glad you got it fixed.

Mini DisplayPort to DVI-D adapter works with Mac Mini 2010?

Hi,
I would like to connect my Mac Mini (2010 edition) to both my Samsung PX2370 display and my LCD TV. Currently, I only have the Samsung display connected through the included HDMI-to-DVI adapter, but I'd like to use the HDMI output to directly connect my LCD TV, and connect the Samsung display by using a Mini DisplayPort-to-DVI adapter, like the one that is for sale at the Apple Online Store. Such adapter should work without trouble with any MAc computer that has a mini DisplayPort output, including the Mac Mini, right?
Thanks in advance for your support.

You're right, but I forgot to mention that the Samsung display is just an LCD monitor, so I don´t really need to get audio output for both connections
Currently, I use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter to connect the Samsung monitor, but I'd like to use the HDMI output to connect my LCD TV instead (and probably a home theater system in the future), and use the Mini DisplayPort output for the monitor, so that I can have a dual-display setup.
I asked this question, because I read the description for the Mini DisplayPort-to-DVI adapter in the Mexico Apple Store web page, and that description tells that only Macbooks support the adapter. In the US Apple Store page, it does tell that the adapter is supported by any Apple computer with a Mini DP connection, so I just wanted to confirm which description is true, to avoid confusions.
Anyway, I appreciate that you took the time to respond... Regards!!

Upgrade Mac Mini 2010 to SSD, have you tried this?

Hi all, and this is my first discussion thread.
I'm currently running my Mac Mini 2010 with a SATA Male to Female cable and ext. SATA power on a WD VelociRaptor 150GB.
The solution isn't really elegant i feel and it generates alot of heat from the drive and some extra noise when loading heavy applications eg. parallels desktop.
I've even up the ram to the max 8GB as well and everything seems zippy so far.
Earlier there are alot of talk about SSDs requiring TRIM on the operating system and as what we know Mac OS X Leopard
does not have integrated TRIM support.
So i'm basically looking at SSD candidates that will:
- run the power provided by the Mac Mini's (5V) integrated PSU
- don't require TRIM support to manage garbage collection on the hardware level.
So far, i've only 2 candidates:
- Crucial RealSSD
- Kingston V100+
Which one will you shell out for and why?
Additional question:
- If i remove the superdrive on my mac mini, can i get a external USB superdrive? is there such a thing at all?

theres no reason why it should not work, plug in the HDMI cable, select the Source input on LCD(HDMI 1/2), if still no picture on the Mini open System Pref>Display : Resolution> it should show 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p and other lower resolutions, just select 1080p and to your right select 60hz. Hope this helps.

Problem upgrading memory of a mac mini 2010

I have a Mac mini 2010 with these memories

I bought a memoir of Ebay and do not work.
Insert 2 modules and makes strange beeps on boot, if I put up does nothing starts without beeping and not send video signal and if I put the form below makes the odd beep.
They are:

Turns out I tried i7 laptop with (DDR3, 10600, 1333-MHz) and worked and this is (12800 DDR3-1600) art of a MacBook Pro 2012 ...and does not work ...
Can anything be done?
Perhaps better than store or sell ...
My laptop has Windows 8Gb and may put them at Mac and these 4Gb the laptop i7, but maybe worse.

Mac Mini and thunderbolt/vga to LCD TV

Hi All,
Here is an interesting one......
I have just taken delivery of 5 new Mac Minis which have the thunderbolt port on them. The Mac Minis each connect using displayport tb/vga adapter to a switch then on to 5 LCD TVs.
The HDMI/DVI is not used.
In this config, if I start a Mac Mini the display will not route through the Thunderbolt/vga adapter to any of the TVs (even though I have selected them on the switch). The display seems to want to go through the default HDMI port.
If I connect a standard PC monitor to the tb/vga adapter and reboot, the screen shows correctly on the monitor. If I then change cables without a reboot, the LCD TVs show correctly!
I can add the PC monitor as a second monitor using HDMI/DVI and ensure that the outputs are mirrored AND that the VGA display is the primary. However, on reboot it's as if the details are all forgotten!
Searching around it seems that there are issues with Mac Minis and VGA connections to LCD TVs. That said, I wanted to put my environment out there and see if anyone had an ideas.
Interestingly enough, with older Mac Minis (without the tb/vga) it works perfectly well, indicating a problem with the new Mac Minis.
Thanks for ANY ideas!!!!

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.

Hooking Mac Mini 1.83ghz to Sharp LCD TV

I have a Mac Mini 1.83 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo that I'm trying to hook up to a Sharp Aquos 32" LCD TV model LC-32GA5U. I've hooked the Mac Mini up to the TV using the DVI port on the back with a DVI/DVI cable, DVI/VGA cable with the DVI adapter to the Mac Mini, and a DVI/HDMI cable to a HDMI router, all of which have come up with a black screen, except the DVI/HDMI option. That started with the usual light gray screen and then it went to black.
The Mini starts up fine, I hear the drive turning, the front light comes on and I hear the start up chime. I hooked the Mac Mini to a 15" Dell LCD flat screen monitor with a DVI/DVI cable and it worked fine. I was able to run through the initial setup procedures without any problems, so I know it's not an issue with the graphics output or the cable.
If anyone has any ideas, they would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for you time.

I would stick with using a DVI-to-DVI cable per the user manual, page 32, which says to use INPUT 5 (DVI) to connect a PC. Make sure you have a DVI-D cable and not a DVI-I cable. Select INPUT 5 by pressing the INPUT button on the Sharp remote and then press MENU to see if there are any options that need to be set for INPUT 5.

Mac mini 2010 very slow after update to Mavericks

My mac mini 2010 (2.4 Ghz, 8GB ram) is running really very slow after updating to Mavericks.
Clearly OneDrive is a pain... but had it running on ML as well, and though it is a memory and CPU hog, it never really slowed down the system.

Mac Mini 2010 and Windows 7

Hello All,
I searched the forums to see if my question had already been answered, but I couldn't find it. My apologies in advance if this, in fact, is solved. I am having some issues with my installation of Windows 7 on my Mac Mini 2010 model 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo. I used boot camp to create a partition, installed windows 7 64 bit from a copy that I bought from school, and it did install.
Problem 1
The problem that I am having is that the operating system states that 4GB of RAM is available and 3.5GB is usable. I currently have 8GB installed(Not factory, I purchased third party) and it reads fine in Mac OS X. Does anyone else have this problem or a similar one?
Problem 2
The screen will not expand fully in Windows 7. I have an ASUS 21.5in HD screen that will display up to 1080p connected to the HDMI connection on my mac. When I boot up, the screen will display in a smaller size(about 3/4 the size of the screen) while the rest of the screen is black.
What have I tried?
I have updated to the latest boot camp package on the Apple website to make sure I have the latest drivers for my NVIDIA GeForce 320M card.
I have tried playing with the resolution in Windows 7 to display the maximum possible resolution
I have made sure to install all Windows 7 updates.
Problem 3
I don't have full access to the monitor menu. When I touch the menu button, I can only change the brightness, sharpness, and that is it. I can't do anything about expanding the screen, moving the screen left or right, etc.(If I did have these options, then problem #2 would be solved).
Nothing has worked.
What do I think...
I am thinking that it has something do with the fact that I am running the screen from the HDMI, although I don't really know why. It could also be the monitor. I could try to purchase the Mini Display Port adapter to see if that offers a better resolution, more freedom with my monitor, etc. This would fix problem 2 and 3. I did order a 24" Apple Cinema Display which will be here in a few days. If everything works with that, then I guess I wouldn't have a problem anymore, but I think it should still work with my existing monitor.
As for the first problem, I am at a loss. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for reading.

I completely agree with your assessment for Problem #1, but here we have it.
I will try re-installing and will also double check with the drivers for the monitor. Thanks for the advice. If all else fails, I will just use parallels.

Is it possible to install Lion on the second hard disk on my Mini (2010) Snow Leopard Server, and switch between Lion and Snow Leopard? I like those voices Lion has in speech.

Is it possible to install Lion on the second hard disk on my Mini (2010) Snow Leopard Server, and switch between Lion and Snow Leopard? I like those voices Lion has in speech.

When baltwosaid NO emphatically, that was described as CORRECT ANSWER. Ditto in the caeses of the radically different answers from Camelotand Matt Clifton
Could it be that CORRECT ANSWER needs better defining by Apple?
That apart, yes, switching might involve rebooting. About the voices, well, I was the other day adding voice to a commentary in a video I was working on. There's only American English accent in SL — Lion I believe has British ones as well.
Why not, I wondered, try to install Lion purely for academic interest, maybe with an SD card (Sandisk Ultra II, 16GB) as Tom Nelson says is possible at http://macs.about.com/od/macoperatingsystems/ss/Perform-A-Clean-Install-Of-Os-X- Lion-On-Your-Mac.htm

Audio Output from Mac Mini 2010

Hello -
I purchased a mac mini 2010 this weekend for use as a home theater PC. I've got it connected to an Onkyo tx-sr604 a/v receiver via HDMI. I then pass the HDMI signal from the Onkyo to my hdtv, so I think it just passes through. For audio, I use a surround sound system. And, in case it matters, I have a second tv connected via the DVI output on the mini.
The Onkyo indicates that the audio input signal on the HDMI is PCM Multichannel. When I play movies (e.g., Netfix or DVD) or music (e.g., pandora) on the mini, I don't get any sound on the center channel in multi-channel mode. In direct mode, I only get sound in the front left and right speakers. I'd like to have normal surround sound.
Is there not a way to get 5.1 surround sound from the mini? Or, am I missing a set up or something? If I connect my receiver to the mini with the digital audio output, will I then receive digital audio?
Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Mike it is my understanding that if you want 5.1 Surround sound that you must connect the mini directly to the SS system and not pass the audio signal through another device.

New Mini 2010 tells "no cabel connected to ethernetport"

Hi Folks,
two days ago I bought a new Mini 2,4 HDMI (not Server!). I cloned my old 10.6.4 SL Server to that new Mini and tried to connect to my network. Nothing happend - prefs told me "no cable conneced to ethernet port". I checkt everything - cable workes fine on my old Mini. After that I than reinstalled from the original System DVD of the new mini to ckeck if ethernetport workes - and it did!!!!
So the mini hardware is working fine and is no DOA.
After recloning my SL Server - same again - "no cabel connected to ethernetport" - T triwed all kinds of reset: PMReset, PRReset a.s.o
can anyone help me - it makes not a lot of fun to work the server only eith Airport
Peter
P.S. I also tried all updates provided on the support page - Special Mini 2010 Update, Comboupdate a.s.o.
*please help me!!!*

I have the exact same problem. I cloned the OS disk of my previous mac mini (also with 10.6.4) and the ethernet cable shows as not connect. If I boot from the original Snow Leopard Server that came with the new mac mini, the ethernet cable shows as connected, and everything works. (I also have tried replugging / changing the ehternet cables)
If I compare the .kext from /System/Library/Extensions between the old and new mini, I see that some files are different. Maybe the old mini is missing the drivers needed to work with the new hardware ?
I tried copying kext files, and hosed the system in the process

Overscan missing from new Nvidia Drivers - Mac MIni 2010

So I was able to install new Nvidia drivers on my Mac mini 2010, however, there are no overscan options.. and my tv is connected via HDMI. Is there any workaround for this?

The final version of Appleworks 6 does in fact work on the Intel Mini under Leopard -- but Apple doesn't support it, nor ship it with the new Minis.
A free office suite that is MS Office compatible is NeoOffice:
http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/maindownload.php
a similar alternative is OpenOffice:
http://www.openoffice.org/
There is no office suite that is directly compatible with Appleworks files, but if you install AppleWorks 6 on your Mini, you could export files in formats that other office programs can read.

Mac Mini 2010 superdrive noisy

I just bought a Mac Mini 2010 from 2nd hand on ebay.
I thought that the reader is noisy when you turn on your macmakes as if to remove a disc from inside, (the 2007 model didnot remember).
After installing Office 2011 from a dvd and another iLife'11, especially with the office to sound a bit unusual and has taken much as 26 minutes to install everything.
I went to the support site, and updates for Mac mini-superdrivefor reading, I've downloaded and tell me you do not need to apply them to my mac.
