Hello, since nobdy else has replied...
Long shot, but...
Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there.

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.

I'm having trouble with installing a 8g kit in my late 2009 mac mini. when the parts are installed all i get is a beeping sound, is there any way to get around this?

i'm having trouble with installing a 8g kit in my late 2009 mac mini. when the parts are installed all i get is a beeping sound, is there any way to get around this?

What is the source & link to this 8 GB kit please?
Can you count the beeps or flashes?
1 beep = no RAM installed
2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
3 beeps = no good banks
4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
5 beeps = processor is not usable
In addition to the beeps, on some computers the power LED will flash a corresponding number of times plus one. The LED will repeat the sequence after approximately a 5-second pause. The tones are only played once.
Note: In this case, a flash is considered to be 1/4 second or 250 ms or greater in length.

If I go from my i-mac get mac mini server view and access the public folder, but I can not open any of the files there.

Does the iPhone Remote control a Mac mini in the same way as ATV?

My ATV1 has packed in.
Rather than having my MBP switched on just to listen to music through a new ATV to my hifi I am thinking of using a Mac Mini in the same way as ATV1.
Does the iPhone Remote work with the Mini the same way as it does with the ATV or do you need to use a mouse and switch on the screen?

If intending to use the Mini s a home theater system,
you may want to consider getting Rowmote or Rowmote Pro
app for the iPhone and the companion app for the Mac.
Not only will you get Apple Remote functionality, but
you will also get trackpad and keyboard functionality
as well. This will make it even easier to navigate the
Mini on the TV.

How can I get a video signal using IMAC 27 with only mini display port. I like to send the signal wireless to a TV using a TV/audio transmit system.

I have an IMAC 27 with a mini display port ( only this). I also have all the adapters ( mini display port to VGA, HDMI...).
Since I moved to UAE I like to transmit the signal frm my IMAC ( where I also look German TV on) to my TV. I will do so by using a wireless Transmit receive system with theree cinch inputs ( transmit system ( video, 2x voice).
The distance to the TV IS ABOUT 10m and one wall. I don`t want to use a cable.
Is there any solution for example mini display to VGA + VGA adapter to cinch so I can use the transmit system?
HDMI would also be an optiekn, bat then I have to by another Transmit receive system.
If somebody made already the experience I would appreciate to share the information
Is there may be any store in UAE where to get support. It is very diificult to get good advice here. They sell everything bat can not reaaly explain and have very often no technical knowledge. With this problem nobody until now can help me.

I don't know what AppleTV can handle as far as bit rate is concerned, but increase the bit rate as high as it will let you. You are taking DV which is 25Mb/s and compressing it. If you're making an H.264, you should get great results needing no more than 6Mb/s. Bear in mind, the higher the bit rate, the larger the file size.

Unable to remotely connect to Mac Mini via MBP

I can see the MM in Finder on the MBP, but when clicking on it, no response what so ever. Used to give me the option to "Share Screen" etc and I could control the MM using the MBP's keyboard. I can also see the MBP in the MM's Finder when using the TV as the MM's monitor, but no response when clicking on it either. This worked fine until yesterday. I haven't changed any settings in System Preferences/Sharing and have restarted both devices. I can still control the MM remotely using Mobile Mouse. Any ideas as to what could be wrong?
Not sure if this is a question that should be posted in the Networking section or not, as I don't seem to have any issues with my network.

Reset the Time Capsule and it's working again. Odd, never had this problem before.

I cant establish a connection between Mac mini and the wireless keyboard

I just bought a Mac mini but I can't link the wireless keyboard with the Mac mini

Same with my new mac mini.
Got it brand new via the online shop.
Happy to start with the new mac i really got dissapointed by the fact that it`s impossible to pair the wireless keyboard unless you first connect a USB keyboard to the mac mini and start the configuration.
THIS ***** !!!
No hint at all from apple that you first have to connect the USB keyboard.
I had to borrowed a USB keyboard from my neighbour :-((
After setting things up it was no problem at all to establish the BT connection with the keyboard.
Works fine now.

Is it possible to remotely use my mac mini over the internet?

Im a PC user thinking about getting a Mac Mini to put in my home office so I can write iPhone apps. I also want to be able to access it from anywhere through my Windows laptop. Is this possible?

Yes. You have a number of options. Google is your friend. LogMe In, Bomgar, and other remote management tools. Or, if you want low tech, VPN in to your office and then use a VNC browser to remotely control the Mac.
There are plenty of options.

Connecting my Mac Mini DVI video output to Dell W3706MC LCD TV VGA Input

I tried connecting my mac mini to the Dell W3706MC LCD TV VGA input but it wanted me to change the resolution of the mac to 1360 x 768 at 60 Hz. I did that but it still would not display the video. I tried my PC laptop and that worked fine with different resolutions. So I know that there is nothing wrong with the TV. Did anyone experience this same problem?
Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Karl

I'm confused about your comment "it wanted me to change the resolution of the mac to 1360 x 768 at 60 Hz." I presume the way this was communicated was through a dialog box, correct? But if you could see a dialog box, that means you had a working screen at one point, correct? Why don't you just run at that resolution?

How do i connect my mac mini to a kvm switch using the hdmi to dvi adapter?

I want to connect my Mac Mini using the HDMI to DVI adapter to a KVM switch cable. I have an Iogear KVM switch. The cable from the KVM switch has a male VGA end connection. I have been trying to determine the right adapter to connect the female DVI connection to the male VGA connector. I will be using the Mac mini and a PC running through the KVM switch. This is doable as the iogear switch is compatible with both a PC and a Mac. Any ideas out there? Thank you.

You would need to get HDMI or DVI to VGA CONVERTER, not a simple adopter. The converter requires USP connection for power. HDMI is only digital while VGA is analogue.

TC in combination with mac mini and WIFI

Hello,
I am living in an apparment with provided internet - it used to be a cable modem. Now cable modem was deactivated by the owner and free WIFI was established in our house (but limited to three devices)
I connected my mac mini to the existing WIFI - no prob! Is is possible to create another WIFI with TC using cable connection between mach mini and TC?
If yes, please let me know how to set up the mac and TC.
Thanks!

What is this wifi for?
I have more than three devices which need WIFI connectio, unfortunatel!
If it is just to connect to the TC it is possible.. if you want to connect to the TC from the mini that is fine.. you do not need wifi for this.. just ethernet to the TC is fine.. so I just don't know what the wifi from the TC is for and if it requires internet access.
If you want internet access via the Mac, you can setup Internet Connection Sharing..
See OS X Mavericks: Share your Internet connection
It is a really poor setup though.. and tends to be unreliable, slow and means anytime the mini is off no internet to the other clients.
There are better ways to do things.
Put any wireless bridge, in front of the TC and use that to provide a wired connection. Apple Express can do this.. none of the other devices can. but wireless bridges are not hard to find and you can get cheaper ones than the apple.
This is what I tried, thanks to your recommondation! I connected the AirportExpress with the given WIFI and I've connected it to the TC via LAN cable, the TC now provides my own WIFI to all devices. But the mac mini, as well connected by cable to the TC does not have Internet access. To log on to the given WIFI I have to use a web-login (like in a hotel) but I have the impression that it doesn't work because of the hardware I have now connected. If you have any suggestions to this I would really appreciate it!
You will however not get out of the problem without creating more problems.. Internet access will be slowed and you will have double NAT issues.
I set the TC to bridge, no Double-NAT anymore.
Thanks for now, 75% achieved!

Connect two Macs to one Thunderbolt Display?

I am using a MacBook Pro and Thunderbolt Display. I own also a Mac Mini without Thunderbolt port but HDMI and wonder if I can connect this Mac mini to my Display as well using the second Thunderbolt port on the Display and a HDMI/Thunderbolt adapter? I have been searching for a HDMI/Thunderbolt switch but without success. Any other thoughts?

TB display will only work using TB port. There is no adapter that I know of to connect to any other type of port.
