We can't connect our HP5mp or 6mp to our Mac Mini.  Help?

We have Yosemite 10.10.2 and a 25 pin to USB adapter cable from best buy.  It worked fine for a while, now nada.  ???

Hello:
Try resetting the SMC on the computer.  That sometimes solves odd connectivity problems.

  • Can i connect an external 3tb hdd to my mac mini 2011

    I think the title discribes my problem prety well, please be sure that your awnsers are tested .

    The size of the drive is a non-issue.  Connection interface
    (Thunderbolt, Firewire, USB) and the manufacturer are the
    prime concerns.  Some work better than others and some
    just don't play nice at all.
    This is personal experience only, but I would stay away from
    Western Digital external drives.  I have never had any good
    luck with them over the years.  Perhaps they are better now,
    but I will never take a chance with them ever again.

  • Can I connect a ViewSonicLED 1080p to a 2006 Mac-mini (1.66mgHz)?

    I just purchased this vintage Mac-mini to run a legacy stat program but my monitors on-hand are only a year old or so and I believe they are DVI.  If I browse the discards closet, am I likely to find a monitor that will work and what should I look for?  Or do I just need an adaptor?  If I must buy, what do I need?
    TIA, Allan

    I was an idiot.  They both have DVI ports available - I got confused by the adaptor I was using with my late model Powerbook.  Working great - THANK YOU.

    • Only if your video camera supports it.  Depending on how your camera works, you may need to add preview software to your Mac to use this feature.
    • Alternatively, your camera may also be able to record directly into your Mac while you are monitoring the Mac's display.
    • If you are using a consumer camcorder that supports HDMI monitoring, a small HDTV might be an simpler solution than your Mac.  For an example of how this is done, see http://youtu.be/GVpSkZD6qE4.
    • The retailer who sold you your video camera may have other suggestions.
    • If you need more professional results, an external preview monitor will offer more capability on compatible cameras.

  • My airport time capsule will no longer allow our iPhones or vizio smart tvs to connect to it, though my iPad air mac mini and mac air connect fine. Why is this? does a recent software update have anything to do with it?

    What model is your TC? What is the firmware?
    I recommend you do a factory reset and use short names.. not apple recommended names.
    Short.. 2-20 characters .. less than 10 even better.
    No spaces.
    Pure alphanumeric.
    Set fixed channels for 2.4ghz wireless.. test with 11, 6, 1 at least.
    That often helps.. if not and is old, ie Gen1-4 go back to 7.6.1 firmware which is far more solid.

    You can purchase recovery disks from HP. Here is a webpage showing you how to do that:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=bph07143
    If HP no longer supplies your specific recovery disk, you can usually find one from a 3rd party site, such as www.restoredisks.com for between $20 and $30.

  • Can I install windows home server 2011 on a mac mini?

    Hey guys and girls...
    Can I install windows home server 2011 on a mac mini? If so how?

    WHS is 64-bit. Genius are really not versed in Boot Camp or Windows, let alone anything not on the "approved" list of Windows versions.
    Most of the problems are with burning ISO, or the SuperDrive. It should have seen the NTFS partition. Disk Utility is known to be trouble, burning it on your Mac Mine but iwth Windows 7....?
    Seeing you have Windows 7, format the partition to NTFS 160GB you want and then exit and boot WHS installer.
    Or run the install from Windows 7.
    In past, WHS supported TimeMachine, streaming video, supported iTunes (that was broken/disabled it seems by Apple with 10.0), as well as even SuperDuper backups.
    Main idea is to have some network attached drives.

    Newegg - HP StorageWorks X310 Windows Home Server
    I have both a ISO and Burned it to a dvd useing windows 7 built in ISO burning software, Its a 64 bit copy (got from microsoft download website from my dads microsoft account).
    It is enouth for the OS but it runs slowish on the mac mini (latest core 2 duo 2.4ghz model) The Idea was to have it backup my pc and laptop to a usb drive and act as a media centre pc (connected to av receaver and tv and on a gigabit network with a 2TB nas)
    Since it looks like this may not work, whats the best way to make it into a media centure? mac osx? windows 7? plex? whats best and good?
    I'd avoid USB like the plague. Why not use your PC instead? If I was going to use a Mini for WHS, I'd just use the Mini solely for Windows and not have OS X (you can boot OS X off an external drive anyway).

    12. Can I output via Mini DisplayPort to an RCA or S-Video connection?
    No. The Mini DIsplayPort connector allows output to Mini DisplayPort, DisplayPort, VGA, DVI, and HDMI connections when using the proper cables and adapters. However, output to RCA, Component, or S-Video connections is not supported.
    - The current Mini as one HDMI out. The Min somes with a HDMI to DVI adopter. Howver, the HDMI output only outputs digital signal and thus yo will need a converter to convert that digital signal to analogue composite
    - The Min also comes with a Thunderbolt port which accepts the min display connector. However. based on 12 above it does not seem to support composite. The 12 is from

    We have moved to another city and we would like to communicate to our friends and family back home via Skype. What webcams work well with our home computer, a vintage 2005 Mac mini with Mac OS X, version 10.5.8?

    You 2005 mini shipped with a PowerPC G4 CPU ranging between 1.25 and 1.5 (late sept 2005) Ghz. PowerPC is not Intel. This mini will not run current releases of Skype for the following reasons:
