What cord do I need to attach As501 monitor to Mac mini

JJust bought a Mac mini to replace our dell PC. I wasnt sure which cord I'd need to hook my existing monitor to the new cpu. Still not sure. Suggestions?

Just what monitor is it?
Googling shows that a
As501 monitor
  is just a Dell sound bar for a monitor

    what cords do i need to purchase in order to watch movies from my macbook to my tv?

    You'll need a Mini DisplayPort adapter and a cable from that to your TV. Here's the various types of Mini DisplayPort adapters on Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=min   i-dvi&x=9&y=13#/ref=nb_sb_ss_sc_2_16?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=mini +  displayport&sprefix=mini+displayport&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Amini+displayport
    If you connect the MacBook using a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo sound system if your TV doesn't have separate RCA input plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio with the HDMI plug. The Mini DisplayPort to HDMI doesn't carry audio unless you have the Mid 2010 model 7,1 and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI. Check your TV manual to see if it has audio plgs that work with one of the HDMI ports.
    With the Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody there is an adapter that uses the Mini DisplayPort and a USB port to combine video and audio to HDMI. It's only 2 channel stereo not 5.1 Dolby Surround.

    what cord do i need to watch videos on my tv from my laptop

    Depends on what input options you have on your TV.
    If your TV has DVI in then you need a MiniDisplay Port to DVI Adapter.
    If your TV does not have DVI in but has HDMI then you need a MiniDisplay Port to HDMI Adapter with Audio Support.

  • What adaptor do I need to attach my cinema LED monitor to my MacBook Pro ?

    what adaptor do I need to attach my new LED Cinema monitor to my MacBook Pro? of course the salesman assurred me it would owrks - well it does with my last year's mac book pro - but I want to use it with my old MacBook Pro - what is the adaptor name or even the model number would be good..

    thank you for your comments - after visit to apple, est buy and then a call to MacDoc store
    I have purchased a Kanex C247DL cable adaptor - thru amazon for about $90.00 -
    this allows for me to connect to a Non Unibody MacBook pro 15" laptop to a Apple 27' LED Cinema monitor
    I needed a Female minidisplay port to a Male DVI adapter.
    This Kanex made adapter allowed for the monitor ( which is one long cable with 3 plugs - 1 for power, 1 USB male and the 1 male mini display port- only 3 usb female ports in the back of the monitor itself)
    to plug its USB and the minidisplay port from the monitor and then plug directly into my macbook pro thru the older styled monitor ( female) plug on the right of the computer + plugging into a USB port (which I have on both sides of my unit) - problem solved - i guess i will find out when the adaptor arrives -
    The Apple store said there is no such thing..Best Buys Mac rep said we dont carry them and maybe fryes - fryes did have it online..and this local culver city, La company MacDocs didnt carry it any more but sent me to the manufacturer website...
    I know the Thunderbolt monitor would not work - but the MacMail employees assurred me this monitor would...wrong..Well I guess I can too be a computer sales person....good thing I didnt give up ...

  • I would like to connect a monitor to my mac to use two screens, what cord will I need?

    I would like to connect a 'non mac monitor' to my mac to use two screens, what cord will I need?

    Have you found your question yet?
    Well as you can tell this isn't very active especially when your asking a question in a cross platform trouble shooting forum.
    You don't say what computer you have so no one can even guess, you should put the model/year of the computer your on and the Mac OS version your using into your profile so we can help you better. (Example, 2010 MacPro, OS10.6 and Windows 7.)
    Try here and pick your computer to get more help. Click on the Communities link and then the Discussions link and you should find a post that has already asked your question or you can search and you should find a bunch also.
    From what I understand your Mac needs to support dual monitors and you need to have 2 video ports available and just get an adapter if needed for the connection between the computer and the monitor.

  • I have a hitachi hard drive from an old pc. I would like to transfer pics and music to my macbook air. What cord do I need to make this possible?

    I have a hitachi hard drive from an old pc. I would like to transfer pics and music to my new macbook air. What cord do I need to make this possible?

    Some external cases include cords others (like some printers) consider the cord to be "optional" - read the package or product description. Other World Computing, HH Greg, OfficeMax, any box store or local computer store should have a case for your old drive.
    You are fortunate in that the Mac will automagically read the DOS format disk... you'd never be able to connect and old Mac HD to a WinDUHows machine.

    What cord do I need to get video into iMovie? I have a Canon HDV video camera, a Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter but not a cord from the camera that matches. I am using a Macbook Air.

    You need a Firewire DV cable like this one.

  • Trying to share a printer attached to a PPC Mac Mini

    Hi all.
    I'm reinsterting an old Mac Mini running OS X 10.5.8 as a headless print server. I can interact with it via other computers to share the screen, so my network protocol with the computer is sound. My problem is, I can't seem to print to any printer attached to this computer--this is obviously a problem, as that's the whole reason I've revived this device.
    Sharing setup for all computers is complete and the client computers don't seem to have any trouble seeing the printer. But when I print to it, the job is sent VERY quickly (suspiciously so) from my clients (a Mac Mini Intel in the living room and a MacBook), and the PPC mini shows no indication a print job was ever delivered.
    Any brilliant ideas? I'm sure it's something really basic I'm not remembering or thinking about, and I'm sure someone has already asked this question; feel free to direct me to that solution, as my searching efforts didn't produce anything that I felt was helpful--but I've been wrong before.
    Thanks!

    OK then, please post a brand new question in the OS X 10.5.8 "Leopard" forum:
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.5_leopard
    I no longer have a Leopard system to test and I used my one brilliant idea for today.
    A new question should solicit more interest. Hopefully one of the old guard can think of something. Reference this thread so they can read what you did so far: Trying to share a printer attached to a PPC Mac Mini
    Edit: Before you go, can you print to this printer while directly attached to the other computers too? Make sure it's not a simple driver problem. Good luck!

  • What's the easiest way to add storage to a mac mini. (1TB hard drive but only 32G of real storage). External device, internal or partitioning?

    What's the easiest way to add storage to a mac mini. (1TB hard drive but only 32G of real storage). External device, internal or is there some way to partition? I tried doing so but received a message that there wasn't enough free space to partition. Seems like a 1TB drive should have more storage than my Ipad

    Its worth confirming what free space you have on your drive: 
    go to:   Apple Menu > About this Mac >  More Info > Storage
    The bar chart shows how much free space there is on the drive:
    Please realise that partitioning does not create extra space so this wont help you.
    If your free space is less than 20 % you should get extra storage with an external USB or Firewire drive, any make or model will work.

  • Need help installing snow leopard on mac mini 10.5.8 intel based

    I need help need help installing snow leopard on mac mini 10.5.8 intel based so if u kno how pls message me thanks
    <Email Edited by Host>

    You need to purchase the upgrade disk (it is a DVD). Then just put it in and run the installer. When it was first released it was $29 USD, do not know if the price has changed or not.
    The usual precautions about backing up your data apply. In fact I would recommend either making a Disk Image of your current boot drive or using something like Carbon Copy Cloner to copy it to an external drive. I upgraded 5 machines from Leopard to Snow Leopard without any issues, but better to be safe than sorry.

  • I have IPhoto version 9.5.1. I cannot export pictures, the following message appears: "iPhoto cannot import your photos because there is not enough free space on the volume containing your iPhoto library." What am I suppose to do? I have a Mac mini.

    I have IPhoto version 9.5.1. I cannot export pictures since the following message appears: "iPhoto cannot import your photos because there is not enough free space on the volume containing your iPhoto library." What am I suppose to do? I have a Mac mini which properly used can perform any reasonable task, the problem is I do not know what to do.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Hmm... that was labelled:
    As a Test:
    In bold and all
    Try repair the main Library:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.  
    Regards
