Mini on a Samsung TV

My mac mini (server) is attached to my Samsung TV. It seems after a while, the mini needs to be rebooted. Any ideas on what might be going on here. thanks.

What is happening that requires a restart..?
Have you tried resetting the NVRAM/PRAM..?
as per > About NVRAM and PRAM
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
6. Release the keys.

    I want to connect a Mac mini to a Samsung 40" LED tv to use as the monitor, whats the best way of doing this?

    Understand that there is one HDMI port on your TV that is specifically designated for PC connectivity. The order that the TV or Mini are powered on may determine your results. For your specific TV model, check buyer reviews on Amazon or elsewhere that can include optimum TV/Computer settings adjustment for improved viewing results.

  • New mini with new samsung 2494Hm display *****

    Hi folks, I connected my new mini to my samsung 2494HM monitor via HDMI and the picture *****, I have tried all the various adjustments and I can't make it good.
    Any advice?
    Thanks,
    Bart

    I just changed to the HDMI > DVI converter which comes with the mac, it seems better but I still have white 'ghosting' around the black letters on the grey mac page headers.
    I used the monitor calibration process in system preferences but it's no better.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Mac Mini Marantz SR6007: Samsung TV keeps blinking

    Hello,
    I have looked all over for this and I'm on my last rope. I have a mini bought in 2011 which worked flawlessly with my Marantz SR7002 and my Samsung LED TV. The marantz just died and I've just replaced it by an SR6007.
    On the mini (and on the mini only, all other machines - Xbox One, Tivo… - work great) I have a phenomenon that others have called "redetection": Samsung TV doing black screen for a second, and coming back showing 1080p@60hz, in a loop (https://forums.plex.tv/index.php/topic/79698-rasplex-cec-and-redetection-problem s/). This link seems to concern a Rasbery Pi with insufficient power, but surely this is not the case for a mini?
    I have tried various HDMI cables, I have tried using a powered HDMI hub… No joy.
    I have tried to update to Yosemite, resetting PRAM and SMC… No joy.
    I have tried my wife's MBP Retina 15" and it works just fine.
    I have ordered an HDMI detective but I can't understand why this would be needed since it worked fine without it on the older Marantz?
    The "blinking" doesn't appear when the Mac boots (probably because the Graphic card is not immediately active?) but I assume doing a clean install wouldn't help? I'm not looling into replacing the mini (although it could be done)… Any suggestion would be really welcome!
    Thanks.

  • Mac Mini with a Samsung smart TV problem

    Hello Everybody. This is my first time in here !
    I hope someone would be able to share ideas or views about my issue.
    I have a Mac Mini I used to plug into a Panasonic TV, using a a Mini Display to HDMI cable. Since the Mini Display port does not carry audio, I used a mini jack stereo to RCA cable from the Mac's speaker socket to the TV's audio. Everything worked pretty OK.
    I just bought a new Samsung smart TV and planned to do the same thing. However, I was horrified to discover that the audio won't carry. From a little bit of research I have made, it turns out that the TV disables the audio once it realizes the DVI does not carry any, and therefore no sound is heard even though the RCA's connected.
    One way to go around it was to rename the HDMI source to DVI - PC, but it doesn't work 100% of the time (for some reason) and did not work in my case.
    So far, the Samsung guys I've spoked to you haven't been very helpful and offered that I use the TV's optical sound IN (which the TV doesn't have), and even then they did not know if it worked 100%.
    I've found out that Mini Display + Stereo to HDMI adapter exists, but it's very expensive here (over 50 pounds, almost $100) and I'd like to find alternatives - The TV's speakers are pretty good and I'd like to avoid buying speakers, if I could work it out with simple cable work.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    I ma having the same issue, I have one of the original Mini Mac and was connect to my Panasonic TV and everything worked fine.
    I have bought a Samsung after been told by the shop it was the best and compatable only to find I like the person above cannot get any sound.
    All ideas welcome.
    Thanks in advance

  • '09 mac mini connection to Samsung LCD

    I just purchased the new mac mini and am trying to hook it up to my 42" Samsung LCD using the mini display port and a VGA cable. The TV is not recognizing the hookup (PC is not an option in my list of sources). If anyone has any ideas or suggestions on things to try I'd appreciate it! I purchased my TV a little less than three years ago. It's an HD set - model LN-S4092D - in case that helps! Thanks!

    tbrodi,
    I do have the same stuff. only a newer version of the Samsung and an older mini.
    I use a DVIHDMI cable, connect the cable into port 2 on the tv and the audio jack from the mini straight to the input on the tv, the audio out from the tv is going to the recever/amplifier.
    At least, that works for me all in full HD

  • Mac mini (mid 2009) - Samsung TV - Audio Question

    Hi,
    I have a mid 2009 Mac mini and want to connect it to a Samsung TV (UE32EH4000).
    The TV has HDMI ports but no audio in - is there a way of getting audio from the mini to the TV?
    Thanks a million in advance,
    Rob

    Are you sure the monitor has no audio in ports?
    For information, there is no mid 2009 Mini. There are early 2009 and late 2009 Mini. The latter one's graphics has 256 MB of video memory and the former 128 or 256.
    In any event, the the min display port to HDMI adopter only suppies video on the any 2009 Mini.

  • PPC Mini works with Samsung 46" LCD at 1360x768 (sort of)

    Greetings.
    I just purchased a Samsung 46" LCD panel with the intent of using my PPC mini as a home theatre. I connected the mini to the LCD and once I turned off overscan, the display looks very good. The on-screen text is clear and sharp and the colors look great.
    I am having a problem, however, displaying graphics such as DVD movies. It looks that when I play DVDs there is a bit of pixellation and the blacks look washed out.
    The guys at BestBuy told me that this is due to the mini not producing a video frame rate fast enough. Is this true? If so, will the graphics processor in the Intel mini work any better?
    Thanks in advance.

  • HT4106 I got the USB camera adapter but when I connect it with my ipad mini and my Samsung camera pl120 it appears on my ipad that is too much power.....I don't know what to do????

    I got the USB camera adapter for the ipad mini but when I connect it with my Samsung camera pl120, it appears that's too much power on my ipad mini..,,,so I don't know what to do??????

    If you have the card reader part of the camera kit and your camera uses SD cards, try doing it that way. It is the least troublesome way.
    BUt if that doesn't work, then it may be a setting on your camera. Your camera may be trying to pull power from the iPad for you to download, and the iPad won't put out that much, triggering the error. If you have a power supply for your camera you can try using that. If not, maybe something in here can help you

    you might also check on Samsung's site. See if they have any advice specific to iPads that can help.

  • Mac Mini 2011 and Samsung 940bw

    Hi I have just (this afternoon) purchased a Mac Mini
    I have connected it with the hdmi to dvi converter to my Samsung 940bw, and it does not want to recognise the monitor. I can hear the start chime so I know the unit is booting up.
    I have connected it my my Samsung 2232bw and it works perfectly, any one know how I can get it to recognise the 940, I've tried things like lowering the resolution while connected to the 2232 and then connecting it to the 940, and it still doesnt want to know.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers
    Jo

    Do you need to push the source button on the monitor (button just to the left of the 'auto' button) so it recognizes the digital input?

    I just bought a Mac mini.  I have two samsung 245bw 24in screens.  What do I need to buy to have dual screens.

    You will need to use the supplied HDMI to DVI Adapter for one, then for the second you will need a Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter - Apple Store (U.S.) plugged into the combination Thunderbolt/Mini DisplayPort.
