New Mac Mini but cannot hear my Altec Lansing Series 100 speakers-help please

Have used my Altec Lansing for a couple of years on my PC and now that I converted to Apple and hte Mac Mini, they do not appear to work. I plugged them into the audio output at the back. Anyone know why the sound is NOT now coming through the speakers?

Which Altec Lansing's do you have?
Are you sure that they are plugged into the Audio Output (Headphone) jack and not the Audio Input jack?

  • Want to purchase new mac mini but I do not know how I would install programs from dvd without internal optical drive

    I am planning to purchase new mac mini that just came out today but I do not know how I will be able to install programs or save stuff to disk when there is now internal optical drive.  I know I could purchase an external drive but is that necesary. Thanks.

    If you have access to another Mac with an DVD drive you should be able to share it using Apple's drive sharing feature in the OS or at the very least if you have a firewire cable boot into firewire disk mode...

  • Will the new mac mini work with the older Flat panel iMac globe speakers?

    I am thinking it might be time to upgrade my 800mhz FP 17", and since i have an extra 22" monitor laying around being unused, i thought the Mac mini would be a drop in replacement...but then i thought about the imac FP speakers and i would like to keep using them...is anyone using these speakers with the mac mini?

    The Apple 'Pro speakers' that were designed by Apple and Harman Kardon, use a proprietary 2.5mm mini jack connector and they would need an adapter to work.
    Years ago there was a product called the 'iFire' that allowed those speakers to be used with other macs with a firewire port ..... Here's a site that I found that has more information than you'll need to know about the speakers and the adapter: http://maczealots.com/reviews/ifire/
    At the time, the pro speakers technology was pretty cool ... combining power and digital audio into the one cable. I still think they look striking....
    I did a bit of snooping around and couldn't find the adapter for sale (aside from a used one on Amazon for $199 ouch) .... I believe it has been discontinued.
    I think you'll have to follow another route.....

  • I bought new mac air. but 3 days later my air doesn't turn on. please help me!!!!, I bought new mac air. but 3 days later my air doesn't turn on. please help me!!!!

    My new mac air doesn't turn on. Please help me !!!!!!!!!!

    I've experienced this behavior before. Sometimes confusing. Sometimes stuck in a sleep mode. I've opened my Air and the computer would not wake up.
    You have not given much information.
    So simple things first.
    Have you ever booted this computer? You said your, "new mac air".
    If yes, what status was it in the last time you left it?
    Meaning, Did you shut it down or did you put it to sleep?
    If you put it to sleep, how did you put it to sleep? By a menu dialog or by closing the computer?
    Other things to be sure are done....
    Is your power supply connected to the MacBook Air?
    Is the wall outlet you have connected your power supply to interupptable by a light switch?
    Is the mag connector communicating with the battery?... meaning, on the mag(netic) connector do you see the LED lit?
    The mag connector is the part of the power supply that connects to the computer.
    What color is the LED, orange or green? (respectively...charging or full charge)
    Cannot direct you to a solution without knowing these few things.

  • HT4946 I have just (successfully) updated my iphone 4 with the i0s but cannot get my apps back. They are on my itunes on the computer but cannot transfer back onto my phone, can anyone help please?

    I have just successfully updated my iphone 4 with the latest ios update but lost all my apps. I can find them on my itunes a/c but cannot get them to transfer back onto phone without downloading all again, what I am I missing?

    Is "Sync Apps" in the apps tab checked? If it is and they still won't sync, uncheck it then run a sync, then recheck it and run the sync again. If that doesn't help, on the phone itself, go to your app store, tap on updates, then go to purchased, and tap the cloud button next to them to redownload.

  • HT1338 I have a new mac mini and cannot download mountain lion from apps store gives error

    I have a new 3rd gen i5 intel mini mac and it wont' download ML from app store  it gives the error
    We could not complete your purchase. OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer.
    I want to reinstall it for its running to slow and add only what I need.
    it installs on my older mac mini

    Assuming your mini came with ML installed and you have already made a backup of your personal data, restart the computer while also holding down 'Command-Opt-R' and it should reinstall automagically from Apple's servers.

  • Cannot hear any sound through my external speakers - help!

    I'm running 10.6.4 on my imac 27". Can hear sound though the internal speakers, but even when I plug externals in and restart I can't see any option in the sound system preferences to let me hear through the external speakers. It's odd. Can anyone help?

    More information will help.
    Is this a problem that just started for you, or have you never been able to plug in headphones or external speakers and have them work?
    Are you sure you are plugging into the correct jack on the computer? On my slightly older iMac I sometimes reach around to the back and hit the wrong jack.
    When I open "Sound" in System Preferences and hit the "Output" tab, I see "Internal Speakers" listed. Then when I plug in my headphones the "Internal Speakers" automatically changes to "Headphones."
    Is this what you see on your computer?
    Good luck.

  • I am trying to download CS4 onto my new Mac computer.  I don't have the original disk.  Help please!

    I can't find my original disk to download CS4.  Is there another way I can download this?

    Well, it certainly does. 10.10.3 just got released today and it looks nice.
    I am downloading ADBEPHSPCS4_LS1.dmg which is the 1GB Photoshop installer.
    DMG is Disk Image and that means double-clicking it will mount a disk as if it was your cdrom.
    It may open and show an "Install Photoshop CS4" Option which you double click to start the install.
    CS4 was before "Gatekeeper", so it may get stubborn and give you an "unknown developer" warning and refuse to launch.
    In that case you right or ctrl-click on the installer and choose Open as if to say, "it's ok, just run it".
    More when I see what's going on.

  • Using ADC Monitor with the new Mac Mini

    My husband has an Apple monitor with an ADC connection. I would like to purchase the new Mac Mini, but would like to use his current monitor. I know there is an ADC to DVI adapter, but the new Mac Mini uses the Mini Display...could I use yet another adapter? I am trying to save money, but don't want to the display quality to be really poor. Space is not an issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I have located that, but my concern is the DVI connection to the Mini Display connection on the Mac Mini. My understanding is that they are different.

  • VGA to DVI to hdmi?  For the new Mac Mini.

    I'm dying to buy a new Mac Mini but I'm not ready to replace my monitor yet.  Sadly, it's a VGA flat panel.  It's connected to my current 2009 Mini by a VGA to DVI adapter.  The new Mini comes with a DVI to HDMI adapter.
    Can I plug my VGA to DVI adapter into the DVI to HDMI adapter and get video for my monitor?  My monitor has no speakers, so audio is irrelevant.  I just need video.

    Unfortunately, my monitor is a VGA only flatpanel.  I had to buy a $30 Thunderbolt to VGA adapter to be able to use it with my new Mini.  Ah well, problem solved.  I'll make sure my next monitor has either DVI or HDMI.
    One thing I think Apple should seriously consider doing is STOPPING their practice of including an adapter in the box and, instead, giving a free adapter with purchase.  That way, they won't be wasting resources (this is the second time I've bought a Mac with an adapter I don't need, and I guarantee there are people who will already have a compatile monitor and won't need the adapter either) and instead will better serve their customers by sending them home with a new Mac that works with the monitor they have.
    The Mini is all about bring your own peripherals, right?  Well, there are a lot of VGA monitors out there.

    My mac mini is damaged?

    I'm seeing same problem - new mini mac dropping internet randomly during the day.
    I bought the 1-year Mac program where I can go in for classes.  I'll schedule one to talk through this. 
    I'll also do all the software upgrades.
    Seems like a pretty general problem.  Maybe it'll get some attention.
    My wife hates the mac as a result of these problem.
    Most of the time we end up cycling power on the router downstairs, which is a 2-5 minute fix, that's a pain 3 times daily.
