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.

Connecting AE + Mac Mini via Ethernet

I've bought a Time Capsule 1TB to replace my AE. Partly because of the back up feature, partly because of the dual band feature.
I've configured TC radiomode with "Only 802.11n (5 Ghz) - 802.11 b/g/n". Meanly so my MacBook Pro and Ipad can use the 5 ghz network and my Iphone just the b/g/n.
So far so good. Then I configured the "old" AE and a Extreme to join the network (the 5ghz that is) so the strongest network is the 5 Ghz. (I don't really care that much about the 2,4 ghz just for my Iphone). Still no problems.
Now, I was thinking about plugging my Mac Mini in to the AE using a Ethernet connection so that my mac mini can use the 5 Ghz N network. Mainly because my mac mini is my media center and I would like to use the strongest network for Air Tunes.
My problem is that I can't connect to the 5 ghz network via the AE using a ethernet cable. Once I switch off Airport on the mac mini, airtunes and internet is not working anymore. When Airport is switched on, the internet and airtunes is working, but not great because it's on the "weak" 2,4 Ghz network.
So, is there a way to use the AE, which is connected to the Macmini using ethernet, as a sort of bridge to connect to the 5 Ghz network?
Thank you guys so much!

anyone??

How can I share external devices connected to my Mac mini via USB on a wired network.

Own a Mac mini with Mountain Lion. Purchased the server app. The Mac mini is connected to a wired network with Mac’s and Windows machines. I have an external hard drive and 2 printers connected to the MAC mini via USB. I would like to share these devices with other computers on the wired network. Although I have attached similar devices with an airport extreme in the past, I am unable to use a wireless router in this case. Any suggestions on making this work with my current setup?

You don't really even need server app to do this. Simply go to System Preferences | Sharing and turn on both File & Printer sharing. Then, for example, the printer (not relevant what connection it has but obviously USB is fine) will be available to everyone on the wired network.
That's all there is to it - unless I missed/misunderstood something re: your setup which seems very straightforward.

When I connect my Mac Mini 2011 with Lion to a TV via HDMI and an earphone cable is plugged in, it´s not possible to choose sound out via hdmi, as opposed to connection via minidisplay port. Anybody knows how to fix this?

Was just on the phone with Apple about this.
The solution was as follows for me anyway...
Go to your Finder
Choose the Go Menu
Choose Computer
Choose your Macintosh Hard Drive
Choose your "Library" Folder
Choose the "Preferences" Folder
There should be a folder called "Audio"
Move that whole folder to the trash
Empty the Trash
Restart from the Apple Menu
When you are back up and running;
     Choose System Preferences from the Apple Menu
     Choose Sound
      In the output tab you should now be able to make the HDMI "Sticky"
      Enjoy your sound over HDMI and no more dirty knees or broken backs unplugging the desktop speakers!

Just made the pc to Mac jump. Can I connect my iPad to my Mac Mini via Bluetooth ...my current keyboard isn't connecting so I can't even get passed the password screen.

Someone please help me connect my two devices together so that I don't have to purchase yet another item. Is there an app or something that would allow me to connect my Mac Mini to my iPad 2 wirelessly. I can't get passed the password screen because the wireless Keyboard will no longer connect to my Mac ...helllllppp .... I use it for both my iPad and my Mac mini....does that matter?

If your iPad is close enough to your keyboard and Mini
and if the iPad is merely in standby and not off, the
connection to the iPad is still active. Therefore, the
keyboard will not connect to the Mini.
If the iPad is far enough away to break the Bluetooth
connection or you unpair from the iPad or you turn the
iPad off, then the keyboard should connect just fine with the Mini.
Most Bluetooth HID's (Human Interface Device) can only service
one host at a time. This is by design.

Lenovo monitor connected to Mac mini

I have a Lenovo LI2223s monitor connected to Mac mini - and works fine when from full start up. But when has been in 'sleep' mode overnight, does not display any longer upon wake-up. Is there something I can do to correct this problem? (waking the monitor does bring up a very very dim light there somewhere - but general appearance of monitor is blank - mini is no longer sleeping)

I want to Connect my Mac Mini as a Slave to a Mac pro Server while at the same time using the Mac mini's thunderbolt ports peripherals ( ie monitor, Sound Card, Hard drives) Creating a poor man's new mac Pro. Can this be Done?

I want to Connect my Mac Mini as a Slave to a Mac pro Server while at the same time using the Mac mini's thunderbolt ports peripherals ( ie monitor, Sound Card, Hard drives) Creating a poor man's new mac Pro. Can this be Done?

Well, I really would love the new unreleased mac pro however , I'm not sure of the expected cost , Everyone speculates from $3,000 to $8,000, in which I may have to wait a while to purchase.
To the point .... I want fully functional thunderbolt ports to be on the current mac pro's .... wonder if anyone had workarounds yet?... or could I chain the the current mac pro to a mac mini to make that happen?

What do I need to connect my Mac Mini to a TV using the S-video jack?

Radio Shack didn't have anything in the store and suggested
that what I needed (something with an S-video connector
at the adapter end and a co-ax/F-connector at the TV end)
would cost $100.
What should I be looking for? I'd like the option to connect
my Mac Mini to a TV (with enough resolution to read text,
which isn't the case with a video-RCA cable), especially in
a hotel room (using the Mac Mini as a laptop!).

The DVI to video adapter

will give best results using the S-Video. Next best is composite video. If your TV set does not have either of these, you will need a RF modulator to connect to the TV antenna connector. For best results get a modulator that takes S-video. It should cost a lot less than $100.00 Radio Shack has one for $25

No matter what connection you use, a standard TV will not give you better than 640 x 480 resolution, so it will always be hard to read small text.

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.

If your MIni has a mini displayport or Thunderbolt port yu can get a les expensive mini displayport to VGA afopter.

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?

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.
