Using a Mini with a LG 32lx2r 32' LCD TV ?

Hello,
I would like to replace my current TV with a 32' LCD model, that I could connect to my Mini. I was wondering if anyone had succesfully managed to connect the LG 32lx2r to a G4 Mac Mini, using the DVI connection ? If so, what resolution did you get ?
Thank you very much !

Thank you very much for these helpful suggestions and questions!
I'm at work at the moment but I do remember the answers to most of these questions off the top of my head and will get the rest when I get home.
When everything is working fine for the PowerBook, the resolution list shows a variety of interlaced resolutions ranging from 680 x 480 to 1024 x 768. There are about five or six options. The refresh rate options are PAL 50Hz or NTSC 60Hz.
As for how it identifies the TV when connected, I have to admit I don't remember, but I believe it just identifies it as a generic TV.
The Mac mini doesn't identify it at all. I can confirm this because I tried booting it without the monitor attached and then attaching it and I also booted it with the monitor attached. In all cases, the same options for resolution were shown (1024 x 768 and 800 x 600) and refresh rate is geyed out. To me, this indicates that it is not communicating with the display at all.
I think that adapter may well be broken as it's never been tested with another display so this is the argument I'm going to make when I go back to the Apple Store this evening!
I'll keep you posted on whether the new one works or not.
Please do let me know if you think there are any other tests I should run or not.
Cheers,
Phaedon

Editing a document done in Word 2004. I can't remove lines done in Word. Using Mac Mini with 10.9.4

I am unable to a remove lines from a document originally done in 2004 using Mac Word 2004 while running it on Pages. Using Mac Mini with OSX 10.9.4.
Tried to delete lines. Delete is not highlighted in Pages.

The version of Pages is the most useful extra information, it hardly matters what Mac you are using.

The line could possibly be an underline or a paragraph border or a line which is a separate object underneath the rest of the text.
Probably it is a paragraph border.

Using Mac mini with LCD TV

I intend to use the mac mini with a 26" HD LCD TV with a resolition of 1366 * 768. Can anyone tell me if this will give a good quality display?

I intend to use the mac mini with a 26" HD LCD TV

That would depend on the quality of the TV. I am using my mac mini with a Samsung 26 inch HD tv. It works fine at that resolution using the VGA connector on the TV but If I use a DVI to HDMI connection to samsung wont let me use the native resolution which is annoying. So until there is a fix for this I have to use the VGA connection.

Use of MIN with text data

I am not familiar with using MIN with text data as in the sample below and could use some help in deciphering what it is doing. This SELECT statement is taken from a larger CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW statement. The first line of the WHERE clause is making the connection to look at the correct user's information. The section after the first AND is what I am trying to interpret correctly. I have moved into a new position and wasn't around when this view was created. The statement is designed to assign the correct DOMAIN_ID to each user based on values in the elms.elms_dom_lkup table ed. This table consists of 4 columns: DOMAIN_ID, PROC_LVL, LOCATION, AND POSITION. The DOMAIN_ID is the only field that is not nullable. The primary key for the table is a combination of the 4 columns. The section after the first AND matches the PROC_LVL from the ed (lookup table) to the PROCESS_LEVEL in the cd (reference table) and confirms the process level is associated with the users primary position. It then looks for one of three conditions:
1. process levels match and LOCATION and POSITION are NULL
2. process levels match and LOCATION matches user's location in a reference table
3. PROC_LVL is NULL and POSITION matches user's position in a reference table
(SELECT MIN (domain_id)
FROM elms.elms_dom_lkup ed, mici.const_dept cd
WHERE c.constituent_id = cd.constituent_id
AND ( (ed.proc_lvl = cd.process_level AND cd.pos_level = 1
AND ( (ed.location IS NULL AND ed.position IS NULL)
OR (LOWER (ed.location) = LOWER (loc.campus))))
OR (LOWER (ed.position) = LOWER (c.job_desc)
AND ed.proc_lvl IS NULL))), /*Domain ID*/
My question revolves around the priority on those matches. The ed table is not organized in any manor. The records are in the order they were entered. Does the MIN in the SELECT statement cause the DOMAIN_ID

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
If v is a string column (such as a VARCHAR2), then MIN (v) is the first string in collating order (that is, alphabetic order, but with numbers and punctuation symols given particular values in the ordering).
It lookw like the code fragment you posted is a Scalar Sub-Query , that is, a sub-query used where an expression is exprected. For example, in a query like this:
SELECT *
FROM    scott.emp
WHERE   sal     > 1200
;You can replace the literal 1200 with any kind of numeric expression, even
SELECT *
FROM    scott.emp
WHERE   sal     > (     --Begin scalar sub-query
                SELECT AVG (sal)
                FROM    scott.emp
            )     -- End scalar sub-query
;You have to be careful that a sclar sub-query produces exactly one column, and either 0 or 1 rows. You'll get a run-time error if the sub-query ever produces 2 or more rows.
People sometimes use MIN in situations like yours when the sub-query might otherwise return 2 or more rows, and either:
(a) all the non-NULL rows will contain the same domain_id, or
(b) it doesn't matter which domain_id is used, just so long as it is one that actually exists in the result set.

Rows in a relational table are never in any intrensic order.
It looks like the question got cut off. Does the MIN in the SELECT statement cause the DOMAIN_ID to do what?

I see you corrected your first post.
842436 wrote:
... My question is does the MIN in the SELECT statement cause the DOMAIN_ID from the first record that meets any of the 3 conditions to be returned?Yes, it makes the sub-0query return the first domain_id ( in alphabetic order ) that meets all the conditions. If there are 1,000 rows that meet all the conditions, the query will ind all 1,000 of them, keeping track iof which one is first in alphabetic order. Remember that
'127.255.255.0' is less than
'25.0.0.0' in alphabetic order, because '1' is less that '2'.

Using 2 Minis with only 1 monitor

I have posted elsewhere about the possibility of using 2 Minis (one PPC and one Intel core duo) with only a single monitor, keyboard and mouse.
I thought that Apple Target Disk Mode would be the answer,but I was reminded here that the remote Mac would only be useable as an external HD, not as a computer.
I am wondering therefore if a KVM switch is what I need, to operate either one Mac or the other. Then I would only use the FW remote control when I needed to transfer files.
Belkin makes one such KVM switch for the Mac mini, exactly the same footprint and finish, but rather pricey. There may be similar devices from other makers, possibly cheaper.
If anyone who used one of these KVM switches could give us some comments it would be much appreciated.

A USB-based KVM switch would be a good way to go.
If your connection to your monitor is digital, rather than VGA, these switches are somewhat expensive.
If you are willing to use VGA, then there are many options available in KVM switches at reasonable prices.
I'd recommend buying from a store with easy return policies, because it can take a few tries to get a model that suits your hardware.
Depending on how you intend to use your secondary Mini, a network remote control program like VNC might be a reasonable alternative to a KVM.
And transferring files through ethernet cable, an alternative to using Target Disk Mode.

Can I use Mac Mini with an S-video input?

I'm considering a Mac Mini because I have a young child who is mostly blind, but is at the age where he needs to start learning to use a computer. I want to go with Apple (I have been PC my whole life) because of the excellent VoiceOver features baked into the OS--- Windows doesn't have anything comparable.
I'd like to wire this thing up to my HDTV, because my child does have some vision and the 52" screen will actually provide useful images to him; but it's a nearly 15 year old HDTV that does not have an HDMI input, just S-Video and RCA plugs.
Is there an acceptable adapter out there that will allow me to use the Mac Mini with S-video or RCA plugs without having to buy a new 50+" TV just for the Mac Mini?

I found this.

Using a mini with two laptops

i'm having problems using my mini ipod with a second computer. i used the copypad software to make a copy of my itunes library on the second laptop, and i can play music from the second laptop ok. at this point i want to make this second laptop the main computer i use; what settings do i need to change to be able to connect the mini to the second laptop and have it updated with all songs?
i tried connecting the mini to the secnd laptop but it only updated a handful of songs, not the whole library even though all songs in the library had a check mark.
thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
If you want to make that computer the iPod's Home computer, then you would have to automatically update with that computer.
However, if you ever want to add songs from the first computer, you will need to manualy update.
This will delete all the songs on your iPod and replace them with what is on your laptop. (Which should be evertyhing).
Connect the iPod to the computer. When it appears in iTunes, go to edit-->preferences. Click the iPod tab. Make sure it is set to automatically update all songs and playlists. Click OK.

Using iPod Mini with Mac and PC

Has anyone had any experience switching back and forth between a Mac and a PC with the iPod? I've only used a Mac with my iPod Mini, but I will be taking a business trip and will be taking my PC laptop. I'd like to be able to recharge the iPod battery and access the playlists located on the PC while traveling, but when the iPod was connected to the laptop, I got a message stating that the iPod would need to be reformatted--something I hadn't thought about before. I didn't reformat it, because I wanted to check to see if anyone had any experiences with problems due to back and forth reformatting. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks so much for the info! I wasn't aware of that.

Unable to use Opera Mini with nokia 5310

I can browse with the phone's browser, but when I try to connect using opera mini, i get a message stating unable to connect to my network. Is it that the phone is incompatible with opera mini? It did come pre-loaded on the phone.
I noticed that I get the same problem when using Yahoo Go, another pre-installed program.

Do you have your network operator's (service provider's, carrier's) Internet access point settings defined on your phone? The built-in browser might be using WAP, and Opera Mini and Yahoo! Go might be requiring full Internet access.

Can I use ipad mini with cellular without SIM card

I have purchased a ipad mini with wifi and cellular, thinking I could use my UK SIM card when required but leave it out when not in the UK. (Live in Qatar)
I can't activate imessage or facetime, and also I didn't realise it needs a nano sim not my micro sim. I get a cannot connect to network message.
Do I need to purchase a new sim for the ipad to work properly, I did assume it would work the same as an wifi only ipad if sim wasn't present.
Thanks

Thanks James. I was hoping that was the case.
I've already updated the software, from a quick search that seems to be the network issue for imessage/FaceTime. Is there a fix for this? Ive no back up to go back to.

Using Mac Mini with Front Row on my TV

OK, this is probably answered a million times already, but I couldn't find a simple explanation anywhere.
I want to use my Mac Mini on my TV, so basically I can use Front Row with the remote on my regular television. I see there's a $20 video adapter to make the video appear on my TV, but what about the audio?

For audio, you will need to route the mini's audio output jack (stereo mini-jack) to the same input on the TV as the mini's video is connected. If the TV is not of the HDTV type, you'll typically be limited to s-video or composite input. I is normal for either of these to also have audio jacks to which the mini's audio can be connected with an appropriate lead (often stereo mini-jack to left/right RCA). The audio will then play with the video when that input on the TV is selected.
Alternatively, you could route the mini's audio to an external amplifier, and play it that way.

Using Mac Mini with 16:9 CRT Standard Def TV by RCA connection!

Hello all,
I realise that there are others who have experienced similar problems but after spending quite a bit of time searching this forum, I wasn't able to find an answer for my particular circumstance. In summary, I can't get my new Mac mini to work with my TV at all. I need to figure out where the problem might lie. Please find the specifics of my setup below.
I have a 1.42GHz Mac Mini G4 with all the possible add-ons . It actually did not come out of the box for the first three months I owned it. I finally got it out this weekend and went to purchase a DVI-Video connector. I connected it to the TV by means of an RCA to Scart cable (which I know for a fact works fine with my Powerbook and iBook) and the TV just showed a blank screen (though there was a second or two of static each time I started up, as if settings were being re-adjusted). The TV only has Scart inputs so there RCA is going to have to be the connection method. The TV is a standard def Sanyo 16:9 CRT.
To make sure the mini was working, and enable VNC access (brand new mini so hadn't been set up at all), I took it to my office (I have no other monitors here) and connected it to a normal Dell LCD monitor. It worked fine, and I set up VNC access so now I can use my powerbook to control it headless.
I brought it back home and connected it to the TV again and VNCed to it expecting to find options to re-adjust resolution, refresh rate etc. All I found was 800x600 or 640x480 and I could not change the refresh rate at all. The TV is PAL but there was no mention of PAL or NTSC options. I took the opportunity to run software update and apply all the necessary updates as well.
After some initial research, I downloaded displayconfigx. It crashes every time I try to open it... so no luck there. Then I tried another application recommended on these fora whose name escapes me now (but it started with an s and also ended with an x) and to keep a long story short, I found it very confusing and wasn't able to find a setting that made things work.
The TV works fine as a secondary display for both my powerbook G4 and iBook G3. In fact, I'm using it with my powerbook now and my powerbook switches to the right settings as soon as I plug it in! However, my powerbook's place is in my lap and this Mac mini is sitting there unused when I really want to be using it as my media center and EyeTV box!
Please help me. Is this a problem with the DVI-Video adapter. Is this a problem with the mini? Should I call Apple Support (I don't have Applecare but it was purchased three months ago)? Please help me solve this problem!
Thanks,
Phaedon

Using Mac Mini with Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom

Hi
I use Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 4 mainly as I am a photographer. It involves both programmes live and some huge PSD files kicking around. I would be interested in hearing from any one who does similar on a high end mac mini. I am thinking of getting the high end new i7 with 16g and an SSD.
Any good ?

While it will not deliver 'blazing fast' performance, it has tested OK with Photoshop CS6 MGE recently and it has faired decently well in some benchmark reports. Since the OP insisted Mac Mini, I think he can go for it. Also, since his work demands more 'Photo-specific' editing, I guess he should be good. Not much 3D I assume!
Here are some references:
http://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Adobe-Photoshop-CS6-GPU-Acceleration-161 - Look at benchmark reports (images) for Z77 chipset
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-cs6-gpu-faq.html - HD4000 has been tested with CS6 by Adobe
And I haven't heard of a 'reported failure' per se yet.

Using iPad mini with tmobile nano sim, but no data

I just bought an iPad mini AT&T 4g LTE to use with my tmobile nano sim. I put the SIM card in and the tmobile network is registered and I see 3G. I try to use the Internet but I get no data. It is currently on iPod 6.1.3 and the carrier is 14.0. Is there a way to upgrade the carrier to 14.1, will that help out. Also, is there proper apn settings I can use to use the data on my tmobile data plan? It doesn't make sense to get tmobile and 3G for the network and not being able to download data, not even edge speeds.

You will need to contact T-Mobile to get answers to your questions.
