Mini 6,2 Display procedures and limitations?
Hi, I have a late 2012 6,2 Mac Mini (added 256GB SSD and 16GB RAM). I have been coasting along with a 1920x1080 monitor for the past year but it is time to push the display boundaries. I want to use 2 27" 2560x1440 DVI-D monitors, maybe even go to 2 30" 2560x1600 DVI-D IPS monitors. I am confused about how (and if) I can connect these to the Mini (now running Mavericks) and push them to their highest resolution. I wanted to get the right answer fast ... and hope someone there knows the story. Are there more than 1 way to connect 2 of these XD monitors? Could I add a 40" HDTV on top of the 2 monitors and not resort to an Apple TV to throw that in the mix. If there are limitations from the 4000 GPU, can they be overcome externally? Thanks in advance for your time and consideration. -Jeff
Can y find a USB vide adopter that will do: 2540X1440?

IPad mini with retina display flickering screen
I just received my brand new iPad mini with retina display yesterday and today the screen started flickering and would not stop. I've powered it off and did a hard reset..the flickering will not go away. I even completely erased everything off the iPad and reset it using the settings menu. The flickering is still showing on the opening hello screen. Any ideas why this is happening?
I'm having a similar problem as "nickyizdal" and went through the same scenario, as far as erasing everything. Unfortunately, I have gotten this ipad mini a few months now...not sure if updating it to IOS 8.1.3 had anything to do with it, but this issue happened a few days after that update.
Any help would be appreciated. Thx. -
I have a late 2008 white macbook. I have a mini dvi to hdmi adapter, and a hdmi cord. My cannot get my MB to detect an external monitor. Nothing happens when plugged in. Also, my display settings does not have an option for mirroring or arrangment tab
Yeah, I'm having the same exact problem - It seems that the thunderbolt minidisplay port is only able to output the analog VGA signal, not the digital signal to support DVI and HDMI. This is a bug that came up after installing 10.7.1. I bought my macbook air with 10.7 on it, upgraded it to 10.7.1 as soon as I got it, so I have never been able to use hdmi or dvi with my macbook air. This is an extremely frustrating problem for me, I used HDMI on a daily basis with my PC. I have spent many hours at the genius bar running diagnostic tests so Apple can get as much information as possible to create a fix for this problem. I have been emailing tech support for 3 or so weeks now, they keep saying that they are working on a fix and it should be out soon, but 10.7.2 has come and gone and I still have no HDMI functionality with my MacBook Air!

HDMI, Mini Display Port and Mountain Lion
Hello,
After reading about numerous issues concerning the Mini Display Port and Mountain Lion, I'm trying to discuss it here with you all to see if there is any solution.
I have a MacBook Pro (2009), and used it with my TV (HDMI cable + Mini display port adaptor) with Plex media center back when it was on OS X Lion. It was very convenient because as a portable computer, it could easily be set near the TV and allow the use of a remote to sit in the couch and stream media from the Time Capsule… without the help of any expansive box. Perfect setup I've had for over a year.
The thing is, since I've upgraded to Mountain Lion, when I try to connect the MacBook Pro to the TV, the screen turns blue as if it was calculating the resolution of the monitor so… ok. Until it comes back, and nothing changed either on the MacBook Pro screen or on the TV.
Harware side, I've tried with the computer open, closed, I've checked every port and connection on both computer, TV and adaptor.
Software side, what I find really annoying in Mountain Lion is that they completely ditched every monitor setting as long as nothing is connected — and even if the Mini DP is connected… the Mac thinks it's not. I even tried to reset the PRAM. This is a nightmare.
I've tried to do the same with my iMac (mid 2011), and it all worked properly. What I can't explain is why it works on my iMac and not on the MBP… as they have the same configuration !
I don't know if Apple is outcasting old devices so people buy new Apple stuff or if they ditched the HDMI out on certain (old) devices on purpose so users replace it by the new airplay mirroring feature and buy the Apple TV. I won't, because let's say it's a total crap compared to other media center solutions. And I'm bored of Apple.
Please, HELP NEEDED ! Has anyone had the same issue ? I bet you have ! Now how can we solve that ?
Thank you for your time.EDIT : stopped working on iMac too… then update 10.8.2 fixed the issue. Now it works. Thanks Apple for temporarily removing some features ! It's just so ANNOYING.
Hope you gonna stay with the few we have left on Mac and stop removing things randomly. Not event talking about the pro environment (designers, developpers, etc.) that is almost gone. 2 years and our macs will be tablets. Careful with the old clients… it's been almost 10 years I'm on a Mac and I've never been so unhappy. -
Need a mini display port and audio to HDMI adapter for mid 2009 13" macbookpro
Can some body recomend an adapter cable that plugs into the audio (mid 2009 MacBookPro 13") and mini display port and outputs to HDMI with audio and video all together for a TV? I would rather not run a separate audio cable in addition to the HDMI cable.

HI, I am trying to connect my macbook pro, 18 months old, to a projector using the mini display port and a cable/connector to a VGA port on the back of the projector. It all fits but the there is nothing happening? no mirroring option. Any ideas appreciated. Many thanks
to get to the Detect Displays button you have to hold down the Option key and the button appears.

Using 2 displays, connected via HDMI and thunderbolt

Mac Mini (Late 2014) 2 display HDMI and VGA
Hi,
I got my new mac mini and i have 2 display. One is with HDMI, other is VGA.
I will use normal HDMI port and thunderbolt port with Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter from Apple to use them both, and i want to "Extend" my screen but the Apple guy on the store told me that "you only can duplicate the screen, can not extend it; both your HDMI and VGA monitors screen the same thing."
Is it correct? Because i think he is not sure about what he said it doesn't make sense to me.
Regards.I have no idea where what person is getting his information. I have used yur arrangement on my 2012 Mini which has one HDMI and one Thunderbolt port.
You sense is better than that person's. You you can have extended display with HDMI and VGA via mini displayport (plugs into Thunderbolt port) to VGA adopter -

hi, we are using mac mini's for our developement purpose. connecting the same through using Real VNC. Mac mini's are late 2009 and 2010. Now we have upgraded them to 10.8.5. after upgrading having display issues after launching the simulators, we are unable to view the icons we need to move the simulator (into different places) to view the icons.
Also we are having Mac book pro's (Late 2009 & 2010) after upgrading them to 10.8.5. Unable to launch the mac, getting only white screen with apple icon.
Let me know is there any specific Hardware (Graphic Cards) we need to use for the same.
Please provide me the early solutions.

I am going to buy a mac mini i7 with 3 thunderbolt displays for forex trading. the question is if i use bootcamp and run windows on the mac mini will the displays still run the same way as if i was running it on Lion?
No idea if Windows will do it, but you can run Windows without Bootcamp & have OSX available at the same time, which should give you all the Monitors that OSX uses.

Hey, I have an unopened iPad mini that I won at work and I'm wondering if there's an upgrade option where I can exchange this for an iPad mini with retina display? Thanks
Take it to an Apple store and ask. All they can do is say no. They may ask for a purchase receipt to make sure it's not stolen.

VB code for executing pl/sql procedure, and displaying TABLE OUT parameter
Does anybody have any sample VB code (using OO4O) for executing a PL/SQL stored procedure, and then displaying (in Excel preferably) the following OUT parameters from the procedure:
(1) variable(s) of TYPE PL/SQL RECORD
(2) variable of TYPE PL/SQL TABLE defined as TABLE%ROWTYPE
(3) n variables of TYPE PL/SQL TABLE'S defined as table.column%TYPE;
