Will My Dell Screen work with Mac Mini

I am thinking of switching from dell to mac mini and want to keep my dell screen. Will it work with The mac Mini?

Hello,
Maybe someone will have a direct answer from experience, but based on the information here:
http://www.freewebs.com/themagius/macintoshmini.htm
it seems reasonable to assume that it will work.
We are using a 17" Dell LCD with a Mini and are pleased with it.

    Sounds just like what was happening with my Alum MB. I took it in and they replaced my battery. It seems to be ok now. I don't know what it is, but my battery was fine before 10.5.6 and the same timeframe of the firmware updates when they came out.
    My battery health was jumping around but was fine before all of this happened. Unfortunately at 381 cycles I don't think you have much chance of getting the battery for free. Perhaps you can complain about the battery saying it was fine until 10.5.6 or whatever. Not sure when your computer was made, but perhaps you are eligible for this program: http://www.apple.com/support/macbook_macbookpro/batteryupdate/

    Yes, PSE versions 6 through 12 work in 10.9, although PSE 11 is a bit buggy. All other versions are fine, including PSE 12.

  • Usb mike not working with mac mini

    Hi,
    I bought a samson CO1U usb connection mike to use with the mac mini as there is no mike connection. The device is recognised by the computer but apparently not by i-movies or Quicktime Pro 7 as when I bring up the audio screen nothing registers in the sound level and obviously nothing records - am I doing something wrong or missing something out or is this device just not compatible? Apple help were no help!
    Hope someone can be of assistance in this matter as I need to record a voiceover on to an animation video.
    cheers, shadwell

    Hi, thanks for your reply - did that but still no joy.
    In utilities / audio midi it says output ( and input ) not supported and in system preferences/sound the input level is registering nothing.I'm going to try the mike on a friend's laptop to see if it is a problem with the mike or the mini mac - or maybe I'm just making some simple mistake in setting it up in Quicktime.Do you know if any usb recording devices actually do work with the mini mac?
    thanks, shadwell

  • HD IOMEGA MINIMAX DE 1 T don't work with Mac Mini together

    Hello
    I have bought a Iomega Minimax Hard disk of 1T and after proof i have sawn that it haven't one very important function. This disk don't awake, sleep, turn on / turn off with the Mac Mini. You must always turn on or turn off after do whatever you want.
    But the mainly problem is that the MINIMAX 750 GB works perfectly. I have one and it's the best partnet to my MacMINI Medi Center. This works perfectly with Mac Mini in common.
    I am ver glad with the minimax 750 GB but I'm very disappointed with the last modern model of 1 T.
    I hope to help somebody with this.
    Bye

    Can you return it for something that works?

  • Latest version that will work with Mac mini Core SOLO under Snow Leopard?

    Latest Flash Player 11 versions will work with Snow Leopard, but they say they require a Core Duo or newer processor.  What is the last stable version of FP that will work on my mom's Mac mini 1.5Ghz Intel Core Solo (running OS X 10.6.8)?
    Have searched archives and web for this and still draw a blank.  Thanks!

    Fixed it!
    I mounted it in target mode again and manually applied the 10.5.4 combo updater ad it now boots again.

  • External DVD rw, will it work with Mac mini 1.83 intel duo 2....NEW USER

    Thanks for your help
    BRAND NEW MAC USER !

    Without knowing the make and model of the drive it's impossible to tell for sure if it will work, but more than likely it will if the drive is claimed to be Mac compatible. You may need to download the free utility 'Patchburn' from http://www.patchburn.de/ because some drives require it. Try if without first however, and you may find that the drive works natively in the Finder and iDVD. If not, install Patchburn and test it out.

  • CRT Display stopped working with Mac Mini

    After over a year, my 7-year old ViewSonic CRT display went dark while working on my 1-year old Mac Mini (PowerPC). I replaced the DVI-VGA adapter and it worked perfectly---for a week---and then did the same thing: the screen went dark and the power light went red on the monitor. Both times this happened I hooked up an older generic monitor to see if my ViewSonic had died, and it put up a message stating that "both signals" were missing.
    Why was the adapter only a temporary fix? Do older CRTs have the habit of frying these adapters or is it something else?
    Mini Mac   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    The older monitors that did not come with vga plugs were sometimes computer specific Example. a compac monitor would not work with an ibm. You should get at least a monitor that has vga  plug. I had a gateway plugged into my mac mini. Some one will most likey say I'm wrong , but I did try the compac with an ibm. no screen. Older pc monitors with vga plug are pretty cheap right now,. Got mine from goodwill for $6.00

  • Cinema Display 24" won't work with Mac Mini 3.1

    I recently purchased a refurbished Apple LED Cinema Display 24" from a buddy.  I'm pairing it with my used Mac Mini 3.1 (2009?). The display port mini connections seem to match.  The USB is plugged in.  The only cable unused is the "macbook power" plug, from the display.  I know the display and CPU both work fine independently. Cinema display seems to power the USB and "Macbook power".  I just can't get any life out of the display.  These 2 devices should work together right?  Is there a sceret power-button that I don't know about?

    The video cards that ship with the current Pro have one Display Port and one mini DVI port.
    There is an adapter to connect a DVI monitor to a Display Port connection. There is no such thing as an adaptor that will let you connect a Display Port equipped monitor to a mini DVI port on the graphics card.
    Final Cut Pro uses dual monitors connected to the same graphics card. Using a twin graphics card setup causes problems with FX Plug FCP plugins, which can cause FCP to fail to launch.
    The solution is to find a Graphics card with dual Display Port connectors, (if one even exists) or replace it with a grahics card that uses dual DVI ports, such as the ATI 3870 HD. Of course, the latter means that you cannot connect two 24" Apple Cinema Displays.

  • Apple Remote not working with Mac Mini

    Hi there,
    I woke up to quite a strange problem today... My Apple Remote is no longer working with my Mac Mini! I tried all the controls, including launching front row, and the volume controls - but no go...
    I even tried it in Windows BootCamp under iTunes, but it still wouldn't work..
    I tried pairing it in System preferences, but again, it wouldn't recognise my apple remote when i held down the Menu+fast forward keys for 5 seconds...
    The weird thing is, it works fine with my iMac on another floor (out of plain sight from my Mini..), and it isn't paired with the iMac or anything...
    Any idea what the problem might be? Thanks in advance!

    So you got a dead remote or a dead battery. Call AppleCare and it will be taken care of. What's the big deal? These things happen from time to time.

  • Samsung 20" Pebble monitor - replacement won't work with Mac Mini

    We had no trouble connecting a 20" Samsung SM2032BW monitor to my mum's new Mac Mini and all worked well till the monitor broke (the button fell off...). Samsung cheerfully sent a replacement monitor the next day but the new one - probably reconditioned, but that's fine - gives only the 'check cable signal' message.
    Clearly the Mac Mini has no objections to this model of Samsung, what sort of freaky thing might it be? I am advising my mum by phone and have access to her Mac Mini by logmein.com. There might be some other combinations of changing the screen resolution or startup order of all the equipment (eg disconnect monitor, boot up Mac, and then connect and power up monitor). Or should I try to look at the menu on the Samsung monitor and see what options there are?
    thanks...

    Hi, thanks for offering some help.
    Connection is a DVI cable. I have tried getting my mum to press the menu button but it just gives a message that alternates between analog and digital. She's unable to change the setting to digital.
    I have been looking at the user manual online. The monitor seems to be working fine according to the self-test procedure. My guess is that it will work using a VGA cable and I am posting my mum a VGA cable and a DVI/VGA Apple adaptor. It's a little annoying if we can't get it to work using the same cable as we used for the old and identical monitor, but hey, if it works then I should leave it that way.
    I'll post again if the VGA connection works, but if you have any other suggestions, I'm interested to hear.
    THanks again...

  • Can't get mouse to work with mac mini

    Yes, I replaced the batteries.
    Not sure what's going on. I booted the Mac Mini and the message I'm getting is "Searching for mice -0 found" then it will attempt to search again...nothing. I've attempted keyboard commands, but I'm unable to close out the window that asks me to connect to a network. Any guidance would be great. Thanks!

    First try and see if the mouse is working. Look in System Preferences > Bluetooth and see if the mouse shows as connected or not. If it does and you are still getting the message, select the mouse then click on Advanced and UNcheck "Open Bluetooth Setup Assistant at startup is no mouse or trackpad is detected."
    If the mouse is NOT connected then try creating a clean Bluetooth environment by disabling any and all Bluetooth emmiters whithin 30 or 40 feet such as iOS devices (iPhones, iPads, iPads); other Blutooth keyboards, mice, trackpads; other computers, etc.
    Sometimes cycling Blutooth of then on again can help (which is why I always keep a wired mouse and keyboard around). If the mouse was previously paired with the computer, and you have a wired mouse handy, in System Preferences > Bluetooth select the icon for the mouse then Control+Click and select "Remove" from the contextual menu then retry pairing.
    The good news is once you get past this glitch, the next time you reboot pairing should go transparently.

  • Can not get Samsung 22" LED TV to work with Mac Mini (2009), 'No Signal' message. any suggestions?

    I've just purchased a Samsung 5000series 22" LED TV to use with my Mac Mini (2009). I'm connecting using VGA with VGA adapter to MacMini. The TV is reading an error message saying there's no signal. Already tried with a 32" LG and it worked, as well as with a Dell moniter but can't seem to get this Samsung to work... PLEASE HELP!!

    That is not totally true. Instead of using an analog VGA connection, try using a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter and HDMI cable with that Samsung Monitor.

  • Does Final Cut Express 4 work with mac mini and other questions...?

    I have a few questions I need help in answering... I would appreciate opinions on the following:
    I am about to make a purchase of a new mac. I already have a mac mini PPC, but it is too slow...
    Here is what I am thinking.
    Mac mini, 2GB mem, 160GB hard drive. Will this new mac mini work with Final Cut Express 4?
    Or should I go with the more powerful iMac?
    I like to make movies on my mac but I hate iMovie 08 so I constantly use iMovie HD 06. Should I go to Final Cut Express 4 or just stick with iMovie HD 06?

    There is no doubt that FCE 4 will run on an Intel mini - the GMA graphics processor is compatible. There is also no doubt that an iMac would give you somewhat better overall performance, though it's important perhaps to note that as complex as FCE is, it is actually a little less demanding on hardware than iMovie has traditionally been, so the difference between a mini with 2Gb RAM and a similarly equipped iMac will not be all that great in FCE, though it will become a little more noticeable if you continue to use iMovie 6.
    The main reason for the performance difference between iMovie and FCE is that in order to provide a reasonably sophisticated video editing package that will run on very basic hardware, Apple relied heavily on caching techniques, meaning that while FCE basically spools from video and relies on CPU power, iMovie constantly moves data to and from the hard drive. The mini's hard drive is a (relatively) slow device in comparison to the iMac's - thus the iMac runs iMovie rather more seamlessly. In FCE, the difference is, as said, rather less clear unless you were to go for the top-end model.
    If your budget can stretch to an iMac it makes sense to go that route simply because the extra power and overall performance (and the better graphics processor) will give you greater flexibility down the road. On the other hand, if funds are tight and you need to spend as little as reasonably possible, a mini will do fine, and is sufficient;y inexpensive that in a couple of years could be sold off and replaced without severe financial implications.
    In terms of the choice between FCE or iMovie, beware that if you haven't used FCE before, the transition is not easy, and the learning curve for it is pretty steep. That said, it has far greater power and flexibility in terms of what you can achieve with it than has ever been possible with iMovie.
    That said, for casual and home use, iMovie (version 6 at least) has plenty of power and tools for the majority of projects. iMovie 8 is, in many ways, deeply flawed for those who want that sort of power and workflow tools, being that it is designed for quick and easy creation of movies, not creative and considered productions. It has it's uses, but if you have experience with iMovie already, v8 is really not intended for you at all.
    All that said, I've used iMovie 6 on systems will a lot less power than the current Intel minis, and have found it stable and workable, so I have no doubt it would work well on any current Mac.

  • What type headset with mike works with mac mini

    HI I have a mac mini and trying to find a headset with mike so that i may make a video with sound and eventually up load to u tube.The back has two holes but I
      can't make out if I need a two wire headset or one. any help would be greatly appreciated. osx version 10.94

    The audio input port on Mac's including Mac Mini's are "Line Level" input and the Mic on typical PC headset will not work without a booster or preamp.
    Your best bet is to get a good Mac compatible USB headset.
