What display do you use with your 2005 Mac mini?

Hi all,
I was wondering which displays people are using with their 2005 Mac minis and
which (if any) adapters are necessary?
Thanks!
Mike

I'm using a Magnavox 15" LCD TV via it's VGA input on my day one mini. The original 2005 minis have a full sized normal DVI output and came with a DVI to VGA adapter. If yours no longer has that, it's the only adapter you'd need for most common computer monitors. Many newer monitors come with DVI already, so no adapter would be needed.

  • What Monitor Do You Use With Your Macbook Pro

    I was looking into purchasing a new monitor for my Macbook Pro. It is an older one, 15" 2.5 GHz. I was going to bite the bullet and get the Apple 24" LED one knowing it is a great monitor overlooking that price is almost double of other monitors. But looking at the compatibility, I have to get a $150 adapter which I think puts me over the price hit.
    Just wondering what monitor/displays is everyone using that don't require a $150 adapter?

    Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac -> More info and tell us your Machine ID.  This will say MacBook Pro x,y.  It is those x,y values we need to know.

  • What screen do you use, with your MBP?

    Hiya,
    im lookin for more screen real estate. what do you guys use? im kind of eyen' the Acds...???
    Thanks.

    I have been using a 23-inch Apple Cinema Display for two years now, and I have loved every minute of it!
    I have never had any problems at all, and I have had the monitor running solid for those two years.
    Before my Apple Cinema Display, I had tried displays from Dell and Samsung, both of which had to be returned due to defects.
    In the studio, I connect my MacBook Pro to a Sharp Aquos TV, which has always performed exceptionally well too.
    Good luck!

    I never saw this particular font, but I second that, fonts is the only thing MS do well imo
    And so I wondered, what do you use? IMO a terminal font should be, readable, monospaced (doh) and a little thick.
    Of course if you do not use the terminal this post is not for you.

  • What browser are you using with OS 9.x?

    Would you all please state which internet browser you are using with OS 9.x and the strengths/weaknesses you are experiencing with it?
    I switch back and forth between Mozilla and Internet Explorer but fewer and fewer websites work properly with them. If there is a better browser than those two I would add it to my old Wallstreet running 0S 9.1.
    Again, what browser are you using with OS 9.x and what are its good/bad points?
    Thanks!

    (Almost forgot
    I have an iCab filter set up for Yahoo on my OS 9.2.1 iMac.
    For the URL string I use (asterisk)yahoo(asterisk)
    For the Scripts filter I use the Netscape identity and have all versions checked except "JScript", and everything is checked in the "Allow" section.
    For the Network filter I use the Firefox identity and have the HTTP "referer" set to "Always".
    I don't use Yahoo Mail much on that machine, but those settings allow me to use the Address book to select addresses and send messages with attachments. (I'm not sure about viewing attachments, though, and I'm almost positive that address auto-complete doesn't work.)

  • Can you help with a TV / Mac mini configuration?

    So.... the plan is to buy a new 32-40 inch TV for the bedroom upstairs. All of my TV cables and Internet stuff are at the basement. I am not planning to bring any cables upstairs (TV or Ethernet) so this is what I am thinking:
    - HDTV 32-40 inch
    - Powerline to bring network connectivity upstairs
    - Slingbox PRO-HD
    - Mac mini to use SlingPlayer, Hulu, iTunes, DVD Player etc. etc.
    - One of those Air Mice
    These are the questions I have:
    1) The HDMI on the new Mac mini transfers sound as well as video. Correct? No need for extra adaptor?
    2) Can some suggest a good Air Mouse that works well with the new Mac mini?
    3) Anything I need to make sure the TV is capable in order to work well with the Mac mini (except of course for the HDMI port)? Resolution? Other ports? Options?
    4) Anyone with a similar configuration? Any issues that you might see with this configuration?
    Thanks

    I cannot answer any of your other questions, but, yes, the Mid 2010 Mac mini carries both a digital audio and video signal from the HDMI port.
    Sorry, what is an air mouse?

  • What currently available charger will power a 2005 Mac mini G4?

    I have a late 2005 Mac mini and need to replace the power adaptor - any idea which of the currently available models will work or where I can get a non-apple version?

    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apple/MA407LLA/
    Just Googler for: power suply for 2005 Mac Mini
    It might be less expensive to just purchase a used Mac min, the 2005-2009 Mini used the same power supply.

  • What camcorder are you using with FCE that's compatible

    I'd like to hear from folks so other folks know what's compatible and what is not. I know Apple has a list but it's outdated. old, and not comprehensive. By you stating what make & model your camcorder is and if it works with FCE will help a lot of folks.

    Hi Sheila.
    The Apple list causes more trouble than it is worth.
    There are possibly thousands of cameras out there but testing is so time-consuming that Apple has only tested a handful - probably all those on the list!
    I think you will find that (almost) every mini-DV camera in the world, equipped with FireWire, will work OK in FCE.
    You probably stand a greater chance of being struck by lightning than of buying a new camera that will not work.
    Having said that, some Canon owners have experienced problems - which have usually been curable.
    If you buy from a local dealer you might be able to come to an agreement that you can return the camera in the highly unlikely case that it is not compatible with FCE.
    I believe some dealers will let you borrow cameras for short evaluation periods. (I don't expect the large "box-shifters" will do this).

  • What digital audio cable can I use with my 2009 Mac mini?

    I have a late 2009 Mac mini (not the HDMI model) and I would like to get digital audio out of it. What kind of cable should I use?
    The headphone jack says that it can connect with digital audio products, but I don't know how to tell if 1/8th cables are digital or analog.
    Thanks!

    the mac mini's headphone jack has a combination optical hookup. any kind of headphone cable will not send out the optical signal, you can tell because when you look at a standard headphone cable, it doesnt have anything for light to shine through it!
    to get the digital audio out of the mini im pretty sure you will need aToslink to Mini Digital Optical SPDIF Audio Cable. they sell these on amazon for $5.55
    you connect one side to the mac mini and you connect the other side of the cable to your optical input on your receiver
    im pretty sure this is correct. the mac might send digital down a regular cable (some receivers will do this too) but im pretty sure the digital is sent down optically

  • What 32inch plus tv to buy in the UK to use with new intel Mac mini

    As the title - What 32inch plus tv to buy in the UK to use with 1.83 intel Mac mini. It does not have to have freeview as I will be using tubestick. I do want to use the hdmi connection. Who's got a great setup, with no issues - model numbers appreciated £1200 ish budget

    So everything is working normal except for screen saver? Hmm. That's odd. Perhaps your settings are such that shortly after the screen saver kicks in the mini is also set to go to sleep. That would cause the screen to lose sync and give the "no signal" message. Check your Energy Saver against the Screen Saver settings and adjust the sleep interval if need be.
    FYI, running a screen saver on an LCD TV is not a good idea long term. An LCD uses a lamp as a backlight, and the lamp has a finite lifetime. Consuming it's limited hours of life by running a screen saver all the time (like overnight, everynight) will shorten considerably the service life of your TV.

  • How many screen monitors can I use with late 2009 Mac Mini?

    hey guys. I have a Mac mini from late 2009 that is connected with 2 screen monitors, and I was wondering if I can add another one through one of the usb ports? If so, can I use a usb to vga adapter to plug it in? thanks for any answers!

    You can add multiple USB monitors or USB video adapters, but realize that USB video is usually quite a bit slower than "normal" video cards.  So don't display Youtube or other moving video on the USB device.  Me personally, I have a Mimo 7" USB monitor and I have my calendar displayed on that.
    You can also get the Matrox DualHead2Go or TripleHead2Go to add more monitors to a single video port.  It has much better performance than a USB video adapter, but of course costs quite a bit more.
