No signal on monitor with new mac mini?

i bought 3 mac mini's., But I can't get a signal on my usual small monitors (iliyama) bu8t I get a normal signal on a 'wide-screen'. What can I do about it?

The fact you are getting the same symptoms with two displays suggests the mini or the DVI/VGA adaptor may be at fault.
I would suggest you follow the suggestions in http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300583 and if that doesn't help, since this is a new mini, call Apple without any further delay.
Note that in the above document it refers to resetting the PMU. This is something related to the earlier minis. For your Intel model instead of resetting the PMU, you need to try an 'SMC reset which is done as follows:
-Switch the system off
-Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord and any display cables.
-Wait at least 15 seconds.
-Plug the power cord back in, making sure the power button is not being pressed at the time.
-Then reconnect your keyboard and mouse to the computer.
-Press the power button on the back to start up your computer.

  • "No signal" on screen with new mac mini

    Hi
    I have just bought my first Mac Computer. When everything ist properly connected and I start the Mini, the monitor shows "no signal". The Mini ist switsched on and starts (light goes on). The Monitor is a 4 year old TFT with Analog port (white adapter neccesary to connect it to the MAc Mini). I tryed with another Monitor (6-year old Phillips) and the Screen still stays black.
    Help would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • The HDMI adapter that came with New mac mini, would fit on the connection coming from my old mini. My monitor has receptor same as the end of the adapter.

    The HDMI adapter that came with New mac mini, would fit on the connection coming from my old mini. My monitor has receptor same as the end of the adapter.

    I found out that I have 2 female ends, my question is where can I find the adapter with 2 male connectors? and what about power supply to monitor?

    The James Colby system (123macmini link) seems to be the only one I could find with an color display. He went for an LCD, instead of CRT. He kept the original look of the CRT by cutting the picture tube (so the glass face stayed in place, but behind it is an LCD).
    Here's the discussion where he specifies the source for the LCD display:

  • Can i have multiple monitor with my mac mini ?

    Can i have multiple monitor with my mac mini like i do with my PC ?  2 differents screens.. not mirror.

    There's lots of Mac Mini models since 2006 or so. What do you have?
    Most support two monitors but how you do it is different depending on model.
    Put this phrase into Google
            dual monitors, mac mini
    and you'll come up with the solution needed based on which MM you have.

  • 3 DVI monitors with Thunderbolt Mac Mini

    Is it possible to have 3 DVI monitors with Thunderbolt Mac Mini?

    Maybe.
    The first could be via a Mini Displayport to DVI adapter
    The second could be via a HDMI to DVI cable
    The third would have to be via a Displaylink USB adapter
    It should be noted that the AMD powered Mac mini 2011 model will handle this workload better.

  • Can I use Dual Displays with New Mac Mini (HDMI   Thunderbolt)

    Hello Everyone,
    This question may have been asked before... but I just purchased a beautiful new Mac mini and it has an HDMI port in the back and a Thunderbolt port.  I am using a new DELL 23" HDMI monitor that also accepts DVI.   I think I could run another monitor on the Mac Mini, but I don't know which is the best way to go... I purchased a mini-display port to DVI adapter because I heard thunderbolt could accept the mini-display cable.
    1.  Should I purchase the other identical Dell monitor and then run it on Thunderbolt 2 DVI and run it DVI
    2.  Or is there a HDMI splitter that splits the signal into two cables and go that way?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated  Thanks!

    I just got the mini server and run a 24" LCD off the HDMI port and a 19" off the displayport (adapter to DVI) and it works a treat there's no need for any splitter.

  • Can I use an old Apple Cinema Display with new Mac Mini?

    Currently I have an early PowerMac G5 that I bought used recently. It came with an Apple Cinema Display (20", I think - resolution is 1680x1050). The Cinema Display does not have a separate power cord so it must be powered from the PowerMac. My question is this - would I be able to use this monitor with a new Mac Mini - would it be able to power it the same as the PowerMac is currently.
    Thanks in advance for your help. This is the first Mac I have owned since a "Fat Mac" many years ago (one of those with the 9" black and white screen).

    Are you sure you have a 20" CINEMA display? I have 2x 20" CINEMA displays and both have their own power cord (and power brick). Maybe yours is a STUDIO display??? IDK if STUDIO displays worked that way or not, I've never owned one. Anyways, I have a 20" CINEMA display connected to my new Mac mini (early 2009) via the MiniDVI>DVI adapter and it works fine but is powered through the power cord though. I too have a PowerMac G5 (quad) but my PowerMac cannot power the displays without them being plugged in via their power cords. I am thinking you must have a STUDIO display or maybe there was an earlier version of the CINEMA display that could work that way.... idk. Mine were purchased at the end of 2005 along with the PowerMac G5 (quad).

  • Using ASD with new Mac mini

    Can I use my 17" Apple Studio Display (LCD purchased in 2004)with a new Mac Mini?
    Does HDMI port on a 2010 Mac Mini support the ASD LCD with a male 35 pin connector?
    If so, I need an adapter with a female end for the LCD connector and a male end for the female Mac Mini HDMI port. Can't find an adapter with that configuration.
    Thanks.

    You would need a DVI to ADC converter. Apple used to make one (the Apple M8661LL/B DVI to ADC Display Adapter), but have discontinued it so they're getting hard to find. Gefen still makes a DVI to ADC adapter, I believe. You would then need either a mini-DisplayPort to DVI adapter, or an HDMI to DVI adapter.
    A new DVI 17" monitor would probably be not much more expensive than the DVI to ADC converter, which run upwards of $100.
    Regards.

  • Quality issues with new Mac Mini 09?

    I've been itching to hit the 'buy' button -- but in reading the many postings about the new Mac Mini, I'm seeing lots of issues with the bluetooth ... *wireless signal* ...
    Is there anyone who's not experiencing any problems?
    Sounds like it may be a hardware issue with connections... the last thing I want.
    My other choice is the 2008 Mac Pro which seems trouble free.
    What do you think?
    Thanks.

    There is a general issue/trend with the new Mini. There are plenty of reports in these forums and the news has begun to hit the wider press; I guess this is more important to a company with only 2-3% desktop share than posts to these forums. I went to the Genius Bar on Saturday and they have now lodged an official bug report with Apple. It looks like the Mini cannot pair with more than one HCI device. So if you pair with the mouse first the keyboard won't work and vice-versa. They don't think the Mini hardware is broken but that we will just have to wait for Apple to fix the firmware.
    Where I do agree is that some issues are OS-X 10.5 related and can therefore affect all Macs. The WiFi has issues where it randomly drops, it doesn't seem able to re-connect at all to channels above 13 and only manually to channels below 12. The system resume function is unreliable. All these started when we moved from 10.4 to 10.5 and so far they have not been addressed. One issue is that there does not appear to be a way for users to log bug reports, except when software crashes. However, the bluetooth issues on the Mac do appear real and are either firmware or hardware related.

  • Atleast one freeze a day with new Mac Mini

    Greetings all,
    I'm a new Mac Mini owner, and am wondering if I should take it back, or is there some fix for this.
    Everyday usually while surfing the net but I think I can be doing anything. The mac mini freezes, I can't move the mouse or anything and I think the clock even stops moving. Different times of the day. I press the power button once..and then press it again, and its not rebooting. But it comes back on with everything on the screen and the mouse moving. (so I'm pretty sure its not rebooting)
    Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Should I take it back? Its a random occurrence when it freezes. So theres no way I could show it to apple.
    Are there any tools to use to check this sort of thing out?
    I really need your help!!

    It does not reboot when I press the power button the screen just goes off, and looks like the wireless is disconnected (or my ichat just reconnects)..but it comes back to the same screen here. I just did it while I'm typing this note.
    I wait about a minute to press the power button..I've waited enough for the clock to have changed and it does not. (but I'll make sure)
    I'm using the wireless keyboard and mouse...which I assume connects over bluetooth. (I can eliminate this being the problem if I let it sit long enough and don't see the time change on the clock?)
    Nothing else is connected, I am however using the same monitor to connect both my mac mini and my Windows Vista pc. Using mac mini (DVID) and VGA for my PC.
    Thanks for your help on this

  • Anyone having Audio Issues with new Mac Mini, new Thunderbolt Display and new Pegasus R4?

    I can't listen to the built-in speakers on my brand new Apple thunderbolt monitor to the terrible audio quality.  I'm running Mac Lion on a new Mac Mini with a brand new Promise Pegasus R4 - all purchased in January 2012.   The entire setup is connected via Thunderbust errh, I mean Thunderbolt. 

    Hi,
    I'm also having an audio problem, which I suspect now is caused by my Thunderbolt display.

  • Got Lion with new Mac mini and want to install on imac

    You'll have to pay for the App Store version of Lion needed for the iMac.  The license for Lion  that you get  with a new computer is different from the App Store license, and doesn't provide for multiple installations.
