What years apple cinema display can I connect to the new 2012 mac mini?

I have a 23" Apple Cinema Display that I purchased in 2007. I currently have it connected to m7 2009 Mac Mini. Can I use it with the new 2012 Mac Mini? I am running the latest OS on my 2009 Mac Mini. I want to upgrade my Mac Mini for more storage a nd the faster processor.

Yes. You can connect it to the Mac Mini's HDMI port with the HDMI to DVI adapter that comes with the new Mac Mini, or you can connect it to the Thunderbolt port with a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter.

Can i connect my iMac to a mac mini (wirelessly) and control the mac mini display on my TV?

Can i connect my iMac to a mac mini (wirelessly) and control the mac mini display on my TV?

Look up "screen sharing" in help
You can control your mini (which I am assuming you are hooking to your TV) complete from your iMac.
After you set up screen sharing, you can go to the finder, under the "go" menu choose "Connect to server" and then browse. Choose your mac mini's name, and look for the "Screen Sharing" button.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Sharing.
Select the Screen Sharing checkbox.
To specify who can share your screen, select one of the following:
All users:
Select this if you want to allow any user with a user account on your computer to share your screen.
Only these users:
Select this if you want to restrict screen sharing to specific users.Click Add at the bottom of the Users list and select a user from Users & Groups (accounts you have set up in Users & Groups preferences), Network Users (users on your network), or your Address Book. Or click New Person and enter a name and password to create a sharing account. Then select that user from the list, and then click Select.
Click Computer Settings and set the following options:
Anyone may request permission to control screen:
Select this to allow anyone on your network to request to share your screen.
VNC viewers may control screen with password:
Select this and enter a password that VNC viewer applications can enter in order to control your screen.It’s recommended that you not set a password if you only share this computer’s screen using the built-in screen sharing viewer in Mac OS X.

New 2012 Mac mini having screen resolution problem when I connect to either 27" LG or 22" Hannspree monitor. Tried mini display port to VGA/HDMI and HDMI to DVI-D cables... all same isse

New 2012 Mac mini having issues in connecting to third party Monitors. Connected my mac mini to a 27" LG monitor. Text looks blurred. Tried connecting to the monitor using 3 options. 1) mini port to HDMI, then HDMI cable to LG monitor. 2) Mini port to VGA, then VGA cable to monitor 3) HDMI port on mini mac to DVI-D cable then DVI to DVI cable... In all cases text is not clear. Anyone has similar issues with latest mini mac. The monitor works fine when I connect to a windows 7 Samsung laptop. Any input is highly appreciated. Thanks in Advance

Why do you use always 2 cables? There's a lot that can go wrong.
1.) Hardware:
- Use only one cable, best an HDMI->HDMI cable. It doesn't need to be an expensive one, they've proven to be no worse than those "esoteric", expensive ones.
- Set the monitor to the HDMI input.
- The modes you are listing are only "picture modes" changing color/brightness/contrast settings, not resolution or the likes, so pick the one you like best later, or enter your own settings under Custom.
2.) OS X:
- Usually the Mac detects the screen itself and chooses the best settings, so by default you need to do nothing than make a proper hardware connection to get a decent image.
- However, there have been issues with new Mac Minis and particularly their HDMI ports. But reportedly they have been fixed with a software update. So, launch the App Store and check under Updates if there is one for you to install. If so, do it; otherwise you should be good to go.
- If you require, go to System Preferences -> Displays. In the Dispaly tab, by default, "Best for display" should be selected, and that is typically true. If you want, select "Scaled" and 1920x1080, plus a frequency from the list (where higher is usually better, but just pick the one that works best for you). If you can't see a change to the better, you best go back to "Best for display".
- If you are not happy with the colors on your screen, you'll find eventually more than one choice in the Color tab, though your particular screen should be in the list and its Display Profile should get you the best result. (Double-check picture modes on your display: if you're far off there, you won't make it much better with the Mac's settings).

24" LED MiniDisplay Apple monitor with new 2012 mac mini?

Can I connect a 24" LED MiniDisplay Apple monitor to new 2012 mac mini?

Yes indeed!
A notable peculiarity of Thunderbolt is that it uses exactly the same connector as Mini Display Port, and that's not all. The Thunderbolt connector also carries Mini Display Port video signals. That means you can plug a Mini Display Port video cable/adapter in to a Thunderbolt connector and your monitor will work.

Yes. Any standalone display which can be connected to a Mini DisplayPort, with or without an adapter, can be plugged into a Thunderbolt port without any additional adapters.

No other good ideas ... since your signature block above says you're running iOS 5.1.1.
I assume you have a reasonable connection.

Can I connect two monitors to a Mac Mini?

Can I connect two Monitors to a mac mini

Yes, but how depends on what model of Mini and what kind of monitors. Early models only had one monitor port. Later models had a Mini-DVI port and a Mini-Displayport. Current models have a Mini-Displayport and a HDMI port. The Mini-DVI and Mini-Displayport can attach VGA or DVI monitors, whereas the HDMI port can't use VGA monitors.
Beyond that, you can get Matrox's DualHead2Go or a USB->VGA or USB->DVI adapter. The Matrox product is a bit expensive and the USB adapters are a bit to slow for games and such. So, again, the answer is "yes", but with limitations

Can the Late 2012 Mac Mini Server run on Lion, instead of Mountain Lion?

Since I plan to use this (USB 2) device http://plugable.com/products/UGA-2K-A
on a (yet to be ordered) Late 2012 Mac Mini Server, I am wondering:
could that box run on Lion, instead of Mountain Lion ? (the usb 2 device has some M.L. issues still)
I would not really need the server-part (only want the box because of the 2 disk drives), maybe that influences things.
Would there be any possibility to order it from Apple with Lion instead of Mountain Lion pre-installed ?
Could the latest hardware in the box not-function under Lion, thereby necessitating Mountain Lion ?
Thanks to all for thinking with me!
Best,
Arie

It's simple: you cannot use a version of OS X older than the version that the Mac shipped with. At the very least, this is because the hardware may not be supported.

Apple TV apps can't connect to the internet

So my Apple TV is connected to the internet (Movies, TV shows, Airplay, etc. all work), but 3rd party apps like netflix, hulu plus, and WSJ can't connect. They get to various stages of logging in, but then go to a black screen saying something like "Accessing <app name>", and hang there as long as I let it.
Any ideas?
BTW, the ATV is connected via ethernet, if that is a factor at all.

As backwards and dumb as I know this sounds try using a WiFi connection. There is an odd bug after the last two updates that can cause eithernet connection problems with some network setups.

¿Can I connect 3 jacks on my mac mini?

Hi, mates.
First of all, I am new here, and I have a big issue I need help to solve. I have recently bought a MacMini 6.1 (late 2012). With my old PC, I had a Creative 5.1 sound system connected with three different coloured jacks (green, orange and black), as you can see in the image below. As all of you may already know, the MacMini 6.1 has only one audio out. My issue, then, is how to properlly connect those thre jacks into my only MacMini hole. What I have tried so far is connecting the black one: the result, only 2 of 5 speakers sound, -and the subwoofer doesn't sound neither! I have also tried to connect the green and the organge ones, and then, I can only hear the bass. While searching at home, I have found a little device (second picture below), and I have tried to use it. However, there has been no kind of improvement. ¿What do I need to buy for the subwoofer to sound? I don't really mind if I can get a real 5.1 sound and, to be honest, it doesn't really matter if I don't even get the 5 speakers to work. The minimum I have always wanted is the subwoofer to sound with, at least, two of the 5 speakers. I imagine some of you may think that is stupid to have a 5.1 sound system and only use it as a 2.1, but at this point, I would be really happy only with that. The thing is that I have been searching the web, Google, apple unofficial forums and even this one; but, as far as I am not an expert but a common user, I have understood nothing. ¿Can anyone help me and give me a deffinitive answer, please? You know, I think I need a lot of help. Besides, my pocket is almost empty, so I will have to choose the cheapest option.
Thank you all.

The built-in sound connector on the Mac mini can either output Analogue Stereo, or Digital (Optical) Stereo, or 5.1 or even 7.1.
Your Logitech system is looking for an analague 5.1 setup which the Mac mini itself cannot do.
You need to either use an AV Receiver between the Mac and the Speakers to do the conversion, or get an external sound card for the Mac.
Something like this http://www.hercules.com/us/Sound-Cards/bdd/p/56/muse-pocket-lt/
Historically FireWire devices were used but since some Macs no longer have built-in FireWire I would suggest looking for a USB one.

Can I connect 2 monitors to a Mac Mini?

I am thinking of buying a Mac Mini for an art installation project and will need to connect two monitors to it. Please can someone let me know if I can connect more than 1 monitor to a Mac mini. Can they be 19" monitors or must they be smaller resolution? Do they have to be of a particular specification? Any recommendations? Thanks very much.

A simple splitter would theoretically support anything up to the mini's maximum resolution, but in practice it depends on the actual displays being used as the whether the mini correctly identifies the devices and offers the correct range of resolution options. Some juggling (such as disconnecting one display while the system boots or wakes from sleep) can help, but it really does depend on the display(s) as to whether the mini behaves correctly via a splitter of this sort.
The Matrox device is technically far better because it presents itself to the mini as a single display, but of course it limits maximum resolution across both screens, and thus isn't really all that attractive a proposition unless 15" LCDs are to be used rather than anything larger.
The USB-based device seems to offer the best of both worlds - or at least will offer the best of both worlds when released with tried and tested Mac drivers. It's not all that clear why Mac drivers have been slow in coming for these devices when they have been around for Windows for some time now, and a number of manufacturers had pre-announced Mac versions as much as a year ago. At the general price of $99 or so, a USB adaptor would provide a reasonably low cost and (importantly) flexible way to add a second display.... if such a device can be currently had!
The forgoing is the reason the 'yes' answer is not the short one!
