Out-puts for mac mini

while sitting by my computer the other day i realized that my music stopped playing and my screen lost all video. my screen said "no input". the computer was not "sleeping", it just stopped all out-put the only way i can get it to go back on is to restart the computer. this happens at random times while i am using it. what is going on?

Hi,
I'm not sure, but I would try a few things.
Check if your system light is still on?
Check if you can ping your system from another computer, if available. You should find the IP address of your computer before it blanks-out on you.
Is the bottom very hot? Try turning on its side when it's running. Maybe it's overheating? This is just a guess. I always run mine on its side, as the bottom gets hot.

Vertical stand for Mac mini

I'm looking for a vertical stand for the Mac mini, a stand that allow me to put the Mac mini on its side. There used to be company called plasticsmith, but did a google and looks like they're out of business (the domain is for sale). Any ideas?

If your Mini is going to be in a "safe" location, then I would not worry about placing it on its side without any type of stand. If it is in a place that could be bumped easily, then I see your point. Unfortunately I don't know of any specific products. Although a set of simple bookends might work well. Make sure you don't block any of the vents holds though...and I would recommend something that does not actually have a lot of contact that would retain heat from the Mini.

Suggest me a usb sound card for mac mini

please suggest me a usb sound card for mac mini (i need 5.1 sound)

The Griffin Technology FireWave will give you the 3 'cables' ("FireWave outputs six channel audio through three 1/8” (3.5mm) stereo mini-jacks: Left/Right, Center/Subwoofer and Right Surround/Left Surround.") connection for surround sound (speakers) audio. Whether or not a particular headphone set is compatible, you might ask Griffin directly about that. If you're playing a DVD with VLC or the Apple DVD Player, you will get surround sound. But, you'd have to find an MP3 with multi-channel audio inside it to play surround sound out of iTunes.

Use 24 in iMac as a screen for mac mini

Can I use 24 in iMac as screen for mac mini?

I can see that there is no way to use the iMac screen thru standard methods. As the iMac is out of warranty and the DVD/CD drive no longer works I am willing to have the iMac's case opened and have some jerry-rigged solution installed. Does anyone have an idea as to how that can be done

Everytime I put my Mac Mini to Sleep, Finder becomes completely unresponsive. How do i fix this?

Hi,
Everytime I put my Mac Mini to Sleep, Finder becomes completely unresponsive. I've tried several Terminal commands to kill/quit/relaunch it, but nothing seems to work. Once my Mac has been put to sleep there is nothing I can do to get it back after I have woken it up. I always have to restart my computer, and even then, I have to hold the power button to shut it down because it will never fully shut down from the restart. I have a feeling that Finder is still running in the background and not allowing the mac to shut down. I'd rather not have to reinstall my OS. Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this problem?
Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Andrew, what all is connected USB wise?
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for Sleep/Wake problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Audio input for mac mini

Well thats it i have made the move and i am now a proud owner of a new mac mini but i have a problem i cant to connect my four track recorder to my mac so as i can record all my music to disk, is there a way around this maybe somekind of usb conector, grrr i'd hate to get rid of my mac just for that reason but its really important to me.
Oh and are there any good free anti virus programs out there for mac.

...connect my four track recorder to my mac so
as i can record all my music to disk, is there a way
around this maybe somekind of usb conector
Yes, there are many products you would buy. Some connect
to the USB others to the Firewire ports. the low end starts at $30 for an "iMic" but if you want professional quality
audio and it sound like yu might if you own a four track mixer then you'd be looking at spending about what you'd expect to spend for another piece of professional audio gear. Actually it's not that bad. $170 will get you a quality audio device with XLR inputs and all that conects the firewire. There guys have a good selection of gear www.m-audio.com
As for anti-virus software. First you need to find a virus. So for there ain't none. So while there are a lot of companies trying to take your money and will sell you software the stack of virus profiles that the software uses is pretty thin. The trick with Mac OS X is to make a logon account for yourself that is NOT an administraitor account and use that account for day to day use. The normal protection offered by non-admin acount will keep you pretty safe
grrr i'd
hate to get rid of my mac just for that reason but
its really important to me.

How do I adjust display resolution for Mac Mini?

How do I adjust display resolution for Mac Mini? Text does not look crisp. Using Samsung 27 inch monitor with HDMI input

Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Displays. Depending on your version of Mac OS X, it may be set for "Best for Display" in which case it should already be set at the optimum for your monitor, or it may display resolution options in which case you should set it for the native resolution of your display.

What is best antivirus software for Mac Mini? Recently the Trovi virus was on my computer and I want to make sure it is completely gone.

To learn how to defend yourself from the threat of adware read How to install adware.
There will always be threats to your information security associated with using any Internet - connected communications tool:
You can mitigate those threats by following commonsense practices
Delegating that responsibility to software is an ineffective defense
Assuming that any product will protect you from those threats is a hazardous attitude that is likely to result in neglecting point #1 above.
OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "clean up", "speed up", "optimize", "boost" or "accelerate" your Mac; to "wash" it, "tune" it, or to make it "shiny". Those claims are absurd.Such products are very aggressively marketed. They are all scams.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources.
Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
"Questionable sources" include but are not limited to spontaneously appearing web pages or popups, download hosting sites such as C net dot com, Softonic dot com, Soft pedia dot com, Download dot com, Mac Update dot com, or any other site whose revenue is primarily derived from junk product advertisements.
If you need to install software that isn't available from the Mac App Store, obtain it only from legitimate sources authorized by the software's developer.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iCloud, iTunes, or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Beware spontaneous popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > check "Block popup windows".
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but unsolicited popups are commonly used to deceive people into installing unwanted software they would never intentionally install.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever receive a popup window indicating that your Mac is infected with some ick or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
The same goes for a spontaneously appearing dialog insisting that you upgrade your video player right this instant. Such popups are frequently associated with sites that promise to deliver movies or other copyrighted content "for free".
The more insistent it is that you upgrade or install something, the more likely it is to be a scam. Close the window or tab and forget it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. Most of these attempts are pathetic and are easily recognized, but that hasn't stopped prominent public figures from recently succumbing to this age-old scam.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

OS disk lost for mac mini

Hi
I have lost my OS disk for mac mini 2007 10.4 and I need to erase the disk before getting rid of it from disk utility
Is there anywhere I can download a copy from?

No download, free or paid.
You can call Apple Customer Support 1-800-767-2775, provide the Serial Number and specifications of the Mac, and for a fee, a replacement set of system discs (if available), can be ordered.
However, the discs will be for the original version of OS, that was pre-installed, when the Mac was manufactured.
 Cheers, Tom

Configration of Email out put for Billing document

Hi Gurus,
I need step by step configration document for email and print out put for multipal sold or payers. it will be a great help if you provide this document .
Thanks & regards
Srinivas

Hi kiran lahari
As you have maintained many key combinations in your access sequence and as you are telling you have checked exclusion indicator.
My suggestion is maintain the key combination Sales Organization/Billing Type or billing type and assign this in the last step and don't check the exclusive indicator. As system picks the last key combination only.
Now maintain condition record VV31 for any of the these key combination of the above two and check system will give the output.
if you have copied the standard RD00 output into ZD00 output change in the output procedure the output type to ZD00 from RD00. and assign it to the billing document type
Regards
Srinath
