• ElitOne 800 all-in-one: connect Mac Mini to ElitOne 800 all in one computer

  Hi, I have EliteOne 800 all in a computer and I want to connect the Mac Mini or a DVD player to the computer and I want my computer to use as a monitor.

  but I can't find the source (HDMI in)

  How can I connect my Mac Mini and use it on the my computer?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  If you talk to connect 2 machines by HDMI, which suggests that they are close together.  This virtual private network and Remote Desktop Protocol should work quite satisfactory on an ethernet cable.

  For example, a SERVER, or a RASPBERRY PI device can be used without a screen, the mouse or the keyboard at all and they run HEADLESS, is the operating system, applications & other software is running and the reorientation of screen output to another machine.

  So maybe something I found below can help...

  #######################################

  The server is running headless (No monitor, keyboard or mouse). To control it, I use my Mac Book Pro screen sharing. The two are connected to my local network via Gigabit cable/switch.

  I wouldn't file vault on a machine, that I wanted to act like a small office or home a network file server.
  
  OS X is based on Unix, which means network and services are running "before the GUI is in place". It can run headless, who connected person and you can store files to the thing to your heart's content. From Lion, you can connect remotely to the screen sharing and use your account on a remote computer, rather that on 'look on the shoulder of the current user' which could be pretty useless at times. Apple Remote Desktop used to have a "Curtain" mode allowing you to block the user to see anything (or using the computer) then you did the admin stuff. Even the children don't want to deal with this kind of inconvenience. Starting with Leopard you can connect and do admin stuff as an administrator, even if a non admin user works far not having doesn't need to know you are there.
  
  I do not recommend autologin for a machine without a head. There is no reason someone connects to network to work services.
  
  Here are the steps I would take to put in place a mini "headless":
  
  1 - create the initial admin account
  2. create accounts for each user that I want to store files on the machine
  3 activate the split screen
  4 turn the sharing of printer files and (optionally)
  5. in saving settings, select "auto restart after power failure.
  6. Optionally: install crashplan on the mini (and run it to the virtual machine JAVA is installed) If you want users to be able to go back to the mini using crashplan
  7. Optionally: install a huge drive firewire or usb if you want users to be able to go back to the mini.
  
  Fact.
  
  On client computers, add folder of each user on the Mini as part of login and it will be mounted and will appear on the desktop whenever they connect to their Mac.
  Optionally, you can use crashplan to back up on the Mini. This feature is included free of charge and requires no subscription.
  
  I think safe would work for every user files, but I've not tried it myself.

• Mac Mini to connect to MacBook Pro

  I have a MacBook Pro at the beginning and I would like to use it to burn a DVD on my Mac Mini.

  How I'd plug it in for best results?

  Remote Disc/disc sharing does not work for burning

  Use the CD or DVD drive from another computer with your Mac - Apple Support

  Googling is not conclusive if you can burn by connecting the two via FireWire, Mc on optical disc in target disk mode and the other starts normally and then burn using the drive Mode target to the Mac thanks to the optical drive.

• I changed my apple on my macbook pro, now I can't connect my mini mac ID. Any ideas anyone?

  Hi people,

  seems that I myself lost in the ICloud/Apple ID implemented the system here. I changed my Apple on my Macbook Pro (mid-2014 running El Capitan 10.11.5) ID and now can't log in to my Mac mini. The new password set up on the Macbook Pro is not recognized on the Mini and I can't seem to login screen to study. Anyone have any ideas?

  Have you tried the old password on the Mini?

  I've never used an iCloud password to connect to my Mac as he seemed always destined to fail. It seems also Apple removed this possibility, but this does not affect those who made possible it. If you manage to get back in and somehow change the password, you cannot use the password to iCloud.

  I don't know if this will help, but you can reset the password to a different admin login, if you have a.

  Otherwise, start in Recovery.

  From the Utilities menu, choose Terminal.

  Type the following command and press return

  ResetPassword

  A utility opens when you select the hard disk and a user account, and then reset the password.

  Quit the utility, and then restart when finished.

  This will not change your Keychain password. You should try the old password or reset the keychain, thus losing all of your passwords.

  I don't know how an iCloud password affects the connection ring, however.

• Drive external hard (connected to the Mac mini USB) disconnect during use

  I have a 3 TB (WD green) hard drive in an external hard drive enclosure "miniStack MAX Media", connected to my Late 2012 Mac mini via USB.

  I don't know when he started to do this, but I recently noticed that it was dismantling even when she was in use; the error was:

  Disc eject does not correctly
  EJECT 3 ' TB' before you unplug or turn off.

  I replaced the USB cable and saw the same mistakes.

  I moved the HARD drive to a different box. same mistakes.

  I swapped the HARD drive to a whole new WD 4TB blue; same mistakes.

  So now I have a new drive in a new case with a new cable, and I see the same messages "Disk not ejected correctly".

  (By the way the disk utility has shown that the two discs were fine when I ran first aid.)

  This brings me to assume that the problem is with my Mac mini, which runs at El Capitan and is fully aware of the updates of the operating system.

  Recommendations on next steps to investigate and resolve this problem?

  It seems that your external draws too much power. That shows the report of your system? You have an external power supply for external drive? Have you tried to use all the USB ports on your Mac?

• can I connect a mac mini to existing imac?

  I have an iMac with a perfectly fine display 10.4, but I'm not able to upgrade more. I wonder if I can connect a mac mini and upgrade using my keyboard and screen of the iMac.

  Hi readingteacher,.

  Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. I understand that you want to use your older iMac as a display of your Mac Mini. I am pleased to provide you with some information about this process.

  This article has some good information on what is needed to turn your iMac in a view:

  Use your iMac as a display with the target Display Mode

  As you can see, it takes an iMac compatible with 10.6.1 or later. Since your iMac seems to be a G5 with 10.4.8, I'm afraid that it is not compatible with this feature.

  I hope this helps clear of the things up. See you soon!

• Connection of the old Mac Iomega Zip to the Mac Mini

  I couldn't find an answer to this common question I could map to a solution to my problem, so:

  I have an old Iomega 250 MB Zip disk that I used on a Mac of pre-iMac. It is a parallel port connection. I'm trying to use it on a Mac mini running El Capitan. I am trying to connect a parallel cable mini / USB. I am recovering some important files from this bygone era. I have the Mac Ziptools drive.

  I don't know if it's to see the player: he seems afflicted to a connected player ID, but can't open it nor report any info on this.

  So, in fact do this as shown? If this is not the case, how can I do this? Thank you.

  I do not know its being a common question. At least not in this decade.   My G4 has a Zip drive, but it dates back to 2002.

  I don't remember if the readers required Zip one driver special for which I suspect 99.999% there is no version of El Capitan.  He could have that included in the operating system returns with OS9, but because people have stopped using Zip disks long ago should not appear in a newer operating system.

• Can I connect a DVI - DL my end 2012 Mac Mini input?

  Hi all...

  I have a question...  I have a Late 2012 Mac Mini and I just bought a new BenQ XL2411Z 24 "play.  It supports the 1ms and up to 144 Hz.  I know that my Mac Mini (end 2012) has an Intel 4000 1.5 GB graphics installed in it.  Can I use via the HDMI Port or Mini Display Port to connect it to Port DVI - DL on BenQ monitor?

  Is it possible to do and enjoy the benefits of the 144 Hz instead of plain 60 Hz HDMI?  Also, is it possible to update a Video of Mac Mini card?  (Half-joke but always curious to know if it's possible?).

  Thanks in advance!

  Also, is it possible to update a Video of Mac Mini card?

  No, because it does not have a separate video card. The graphics chip is soldered to the logic board.

  60 Hz is maximum refresh rate.

  I have an IMAC of mid-2011.  Can I connect a Mac mini to this iMac 2011 and use this monitor that has a built in processor?

  You should be able to, given the Mac Mini has the correct connections (in this case, a Thunderbolt connection).

• Can I connect a non-apple for my mac mini screen

  How to connect a non-apple for my mac mini screen?

  1. see #2.

  2. it depends on what type of cable the monitor has and the Mac mini ports; It is not a difference between an Apple and a monitor no Apple for this purpose. A Mini DisplayPort adapter allows to connect an older display until a Thunderbolt port.

• Mac Mini loses the connection to the internal hard drive

  Hello

  I got in trouble once per day or almost one year that my Mini mac interrupts the communication with the hard drive. You can work away and all of a sudden all gel applications. Say, you happen to have a terminal open, if you try to execute commands in / sbin as stop or something like that, it is to say that you don't have access to the files with an error like this:

  bash: / sbin/shutdown: device not configured

  Finally the Terminal Server session freezes as well.

  I used the Apple Diagnostics for all the materials and it test verifies all very well. I bought and installed a copy of TechTools Pro (v8.0.3 build 1967) and he reported no problem whatsoever with everything. To be on the safe side, I replaced the memory, still no luck.

  I've lived a lot of system updates and none of them seem to have solved the problem. I am currently on OS X El Capitan v10.11.5 Beta (15F18c). Yes I know it's beta, but this problem before any release of El Capitan.

  The most reliable way to reduce the appearance of it during my work day is a reboot planned each night. For one reason or another, which reduces the frequency.

  I am at a loss on how to fix this and would appreciate any advice.

  Material is a Mac mini (end of 2012), the processor is an Intel Core i5 2.5 GHz, is now 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 memory, graphic is Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB, storage is a 500.11 SATA GB Apple drive ST500LM012 HARD drive

  Thanks in advance.

  Maybe a bad connection tight to the HD. It could be the end of the water which connects to the system board. I had similar symptoms on my Mini 2012 and it is in this regard.  Like you if I stop and then after awhile restarted, it would be OK for a while.

  It could also be a problem with the HD
