A Mac Mini laptop - link the keyboard and Trackpad?

I get a laptop, but also want the option of using a Mac Mini with it. It has an HDMI port, so I think I could plug it into the Mac Mini, but the keyboard and the Trackpad would also connect?

What yo mean by 'I get a laptop but also want the option of using a Mac Mini with it. It has an HDMI port, so I think that I could plug into the Mini Mac'.

You cannot connect two computers via their HDMI output ports.

A laptop Mac does not support the display of the target mode

Use your iMac as a display with the target - Apple Support Display Mode

You can use screen sharing via a network of control/use a Mac by another Mac.

  • Internal standby mode keyboard and Trackpad no longer work after

    Same thing here. I tried to reinstall OS X and it worked for awhile, but now no way to solve this problem, I even haven't tried internet recovery. The funny part is that if you press power + shift + ctrl + alt when the mac is on it will restart, so the keyboard seems to be working. I really feel that it is a software bug in the firmware. Apple please fix this once and for all!

    OS X 10.11.5

    MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inches, early 2015)

    Hello CocoGriff!

    Thanks for reaching out on your trackpad and keyboard works intermittently on your MacBook Pro.  Looks like you've got a good start on things so far.

    Reinstall OS X can be good to rule out a software problem, causing their lack of reaction.  Before we get to that, you can try restarting in safe mode to see if they act even in safe mode.

    Follow these steps to start in safe mode.

    1. Start or restart your Mac.
    2. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
    3. Release the SHIFT key when you see the logo Apple appears on the screen.

    Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning - Apple Support

    If it is the same in safe mode, then you can proceed with reinstalling Mac OS X.

  • Keyboard and trackpad not working not

    Hello world

    so I bought my macbook pro in September 2015 and since then I have problems with the keyboard and trackpad doesn't work do not randomly. I brought the device to an Apple dealer and that they could not fix it, because at the point where the laptop was working fine. This morning I finally found something useful in the newspaper.

    First, while the keyboard and trackpad work not I received a lot of messages like this in the console:

    Then it happened:

    and now everything works fine.

    Now my question is: can I bring my camera to a repair because it is still under warranty, but I need my laptop everyday. What should I do? Buy a new one and then put it back? I can't believe that I have questions about a machine, I paid over 2 k euros.

    Do you think is a hardware problem or an osx bug? I'm under 10.11.2 btw.

    Thank you.

    Not OK, so no support in this forum... I called apple and they told me I should put the laptop to apple repair center I did, but they could not reproduce the error (which is random) so that they could not fix it... Now, what are my options here? Am I stuck with a defective machine I paid 2400 euro?

    If you choose apple to have a portable stable and a good customer support as I have, please, be aware of this...

    Anyone know if there are any third party docks/cradles that will house the new 2 keyboard Magic and Magic Trackpad 2?

  • Is it possible to connect my Mac mini to my Mac Pro laptop using the memory on my mac mini for installing software Ableton as I don't have 3 GB available on my Mac Pro.

    Is it possible to connect my Mac mini to my Mac Pro laptop using the memory on my mac mini for installing software Ableton as I don't have 3 GB available on my Mac Pro.

    I want to download Ableton software, but it requires 3 GB of free memory that I have available on my MacPro laptop not because most of it is used for my library of music because I'm a DJ.

    I'm not sure how I can do it or not at all.

    Thank you very much.

    1. a Mac Pro is not a laptop. Its a big desktop computer.  You probably have a MacBook Pro, which is a laptop.

    2. No, you cannot share the memory (live RAM) or storage (disk space, which is not memory) like that between computers.

    However, it is very very bad practice to have so little storage space available for your computer.   If you have less than 3 GB, you should seriously consider an external drive. and unload some files on the outside. Its best not to leave your hard drive to go below 10 GB of free space because it can seriously affect your computer's performance.

I have looked for help on the local Apple Store and support too, but it did not help. I would like you help me solve this problem.

    Your machine is still under warranty, so you should take it to your local Apple store for repairs. Function late in January, you bought it, you still have phone without support. If you can't find any help on the Apple Store, then I don't know what you expect to find here. We have no way to check for problems you have described or any additional hardware, etc.

  • HP Envy laptop - 15-ae011na: HP Envy - keyboard and Trackpad not working after the mode 'sleep'.

    HP Envy laptop - 15-ae011na

    I have this laptop for only 1 week, he did various updates. I guess that's from Windows 8 to 8.1. He also completed an update of the BIOS with HP Support Assistant.

    Question: When the awakening of my laptop mode 'sleep', my trackpad and keyboard do not work, I have unlock my PC using HP Simple pass, then press the power button to restart the machine.

    Troubleshooting: I followed some advice for troubleshooting on the support page which lead me to uninstall the keyboard driver then restart my machine. I have all the latest drivers aswell.

    Someone has an idea what might be causing the problem? Ideally, I'd like to do a restore or upgrade of Windows 10 immediately.

    Thank you.

    Looks like this has been caused some my driver problem with Windows 8.1 and I guess that's with HP SimplePass such that it would not recognize the keyboard and the trackpad after waking up to use it.

    I have upgraded to Windows 10 that looks like a solved the problem.

  • MacBook pro 2015 stuck in Bluetooth Setup mode after commissioning, recognizes on the keyboard and track pad. SMC reset does not work.

    My Macbook Pro 2015 stopped periodically (and now permanently discontinued) responding on keyboard and touch pad Board. This seemed to start at the same time, I got a Bluetooth headset; When I turn on the computer, he's stuck in Bluetooth Setup mode. I tried to reset the SMC, and it does not work. I don't have a Bluetooth keyboard to even try with it. Also, I can't start in safe mode. It seems completely blocked. Any help you might be able to offer would be great!

    Hello rad trp,.

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

    From your post, I understand that your keyboard and trackpad on your MacBook Pro are unresponsive and now you see the Bluetooth set up screen on the computer. I also see that you tried to reset the SMC, but that doesn't seem to work because the built-in keyboard do not respond.

    I know that you do not have a bluetooth keyboard, you can connect, but you have a USB keyboard? Even a USB keyboard for a computer Windows will work. If you do, I would say connection that the keyboard and you use these keys to perform an SMC reset, but reset the PRAM as well. Instructions on both of these resets can be found in the links below if you need.
