• iMac (late 2009) as screen for Mac Mini

  Hi, I want to buy a new Mac Mini, and I want to use my iMac (late 2009) as screen. I want to know if it is posible, and, if so, what cable do I need to buy

• Presenter PowerPoint on Mac mini mode displayed on the screen and the projector when using HDMI splitter

  We have a Mac mini connected to a screen and a projector via HDMI using a HDMI splitter.

  It works fine for most applications, but during presentations PowerPoint, presenter is displayed on the monitor and the projector.

  When I disconnected the mini Mac's HDMI cable and put it in a MacBook, the presenter appeared on the MacBook screen (as it should) and only the slide appears on the screen and on the projection screen.

  Of course if we have to use the MacBook for presentations instead of the Mac mini, you would need to have seen the presenter on both the screen and on the screen of the MacBook.

  In the Mac mini display preferences there is no button to "Gather Windows" when the Mac mini is attached to the screen and the projector via HDMI splitter is a tab "setting."

  But these two things appear on the MacBook when it is connected.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you!

• Can I use a screen larger than 27 "on Mac Mini?

  Hello

  I would get a screen larger than my current 27 "of my Mac Mini and I wonder if my Mini (by 2012) would support a new monitor around this size. Any suggestions appreciated

  Thank you

  Some screens may work through a Thunderbolt by adapter connection;

  You may need to check what specification and then if the

  the numbers are what you can tolerate. If you really a 2011

  Screen or another model by 2012, spec Mac Mini support

  will vary. To correctly identify the model year of construction unit and not

  year sold, it is more direct. Also by looking for serial number.

  Details such as the resolution may be quite low, so a larger screen

• 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.

• End of 2012 Mac mini won't go beyond screen bar startup after update 10.11.4

  Hey all,.

  I'm puzzled.  I have a Late 2012 Mac mini, upgrade 10.11.4 yesterday, after the computer restarts, it was stuck around 60% on the progress of startup screen.  I let it go for 12 hours, nothing.  The screen fell asleep, and when I woke up it I had a mouse cursor which would pass but nothing to use it with.  When you try to start in safe mode, I get a little further, about 95% and then she stalls.  When booting into single user mode, it stops at "pci break: SDXC.  I fixed the disk with DiskWarrior on the repair disk, no help.  Any help would be greatly appreciated, getting very frustrated and I would like to solve it, instead of doing a restore.

  I forgot to add, that when starting in Diag mode, I wonder for a wifi network reach, I do then it's right there.  Do not enter an IP address.

  Thank you!

  -Anders

  The Diag mode gives me an error-2002D.  Looks like I have some errors going on here :/

• Mac Pro 2008 No. Startup Manager Access/Gray screen on startup

  I'm in a difficult situation and hoping a Ninja Mac can give a helping hand.

  Had a RAM issue (is no longer recognized a pair of memory modules in a 2008 Mac Pro, El Capitan), and among the troubleshooting steps, I did a PRAM reset (press / hold down ALT + CMD + P + R during startup) just to see if it could resolve. Unfortunately, the Mac would not start in front of a gray-white screen with a flashing icon of folder/question mark. Returned never me to get there.

  I had read that resetting the PRAM the disc start, among other things, may need to be reset afterwards, and this seems to be the case. Looked this solution and kept diligently press Option key during startup. This time, no folder icon, instead a sensitive cursor, but nothing else. Gray-white screen only, no boot manager to select the startup disk is suitable.

  I also tried the following...

  1. Starting in the Diagnostic Mode... Gray screen.
  2. Restore/recovery... Gray screen.
  3. Reset the SMC... Gray screen.
  4. Enter Safe Mode... Gray screen.

  OS (and apps) on flash PCI cards. All files are on hard disks in the 4-Bay, as well as a player flash remains connected to a (used as a scratch of PS) free SATA port. So I can't really share, but I wonder if I shoot all readers it would require a search for another source?

  I create an El Capitan USB boot (currently copy with createinstallmedia), but don't expect that it will offer what anyone else that its use is based on access to the Startup Manager at startup..., that I can't do. There are the graphics on the screen (missing folder icon, mobile mouse cursor) so can not imagine a video problem.

  Looking forward to enter here.

  Success!

  I created a USB bootable OS X installer using these instructionsand createinstallmedia. After some messing around with the Terminal syntax USB was ready to go. My concern, however, was that the operating instructions required by selecting the drive of the Startup Manager... which I could not access.

  With the USB stick plugged in I started to turned on the Mac while pressing the key OCCUPIED Palestinian territory and this time, the selection screen pops up showing just the USB key for installation of El Capitan. Got that we open and instead of installing I chose Startup Manager in the installation menu bar, took my normal OS drive and rebooted. Back in business, no problems.

  This put aside, although I understood that reset PRAM would also require reselect startup disk, I don't have a hot clue why did not appear the Boot Manager - or any other useful diagnostic. If someone could throw some light here would be appreciated.

• Mac Mini (2014) blurred or central off-screen

  Hello

  I'm having a very difficult time for my Mac Mini to 2014 appears correctly on both a small Magnavox (2008) HDTV (that I'm trying to 'reuse' for use with the Mac Mini) and my 46 '' Sharp Aquos. When I use a HDMI cable to HDMI (sold by Apple) the text is extremely blurry. After some research on Google and read many articles, I decided to concede and buy everything just a crush on VGA cable on Amazon. The problem with the crush to USB is that it works in 50% of the time without problem, but the other 50% of the time, I wake up the Mac and the screen remains black, or the desktop 2 "to the right and down (leaving a strip 2" black on the left and the top of the screen). The problem is solved by unplugging the shape of love at first sight on the back of the Mac and reseating the cable (with Sharp TVs both Magnavox).

  I prefer not to spend money on a new monitor if possible. I have friends and family who use TVs as displays for their mini Mac or other Mac that do not have the problem. I tried to turn the sharpness all down on broadcasters suggested in the number of threads without result (using the HDMI cable).

  This post seems useful (and I found his humorous commentary on Apple), but a little complicated, and that's a MacBook Pro to monitor Dell.

  Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. My preference would be to use the HDMI cable if possible.

  Thank you!

  VGA is a horrible connector often must set the position on the screen itself because the computer it is analog have no idea

  DVI - i (d) is much better in this respect make you you set the native resolution display it is or it will be always blurred (unless you define in a resolution of modulo 2 as 800_600-> 1600_1200 and visa versa)

  TD; Dr. If hdmi is blurry that you use the wrong resolution, so vga is off center so it's the pet peeve of the vga and there is no real cure apart from setting in the view menu / distance

• is it possible to send airtime on a mac mini and connect to multiple screens (5)?

  Hello - I'm looking to see if it is possible to use Airplay to a Mac Mini and connect to five different views and see the same thought at the same time. I understand that each display would need its own apple tv, but I don't know if it's strictly a ratio of one to one, or it would be better to run the HDMI from the mini and feed a splitter HDMI and wire them hard. I want to run a video loop of an IPAD for the mini and the mini to distribute video on screens. Thank you.

  No, this is not possible with Apple TV.
