How to control a Mac mini with HDMI ports fries and lightning? (The rest is ok)

Recently, a lightning strike fried video output (HDMI and lightning) ports on my Mac Mini end of 2012. As far as I know, the rest of the machine works fine. It's just blind. I can't have everyone working on this, but I don't want to throw a perfectly (well, almost perfectly) computer works.

If I can get a control over the Mac Mini for a few days, I could set up as a dedicated time Machine or maybe even an iTunes or media Server. How can I achieve this?

Configure the screen sharing on the Mac.

To do this, you must have another recent Mac.

You can start the problem Mac in target disk mode, connect the two Mac by FireWire or Thunderbolt, boot the Mac problem with button down T, boot the first Mac since the Mac HD problem and sharing Setup screen

Alternatively, you can take the drive out of the Mac problem and start another Mac that and configure sharing screen.

You can also get a USB video card and put in place by the target disk mode or by removing the similar disk for screen sharing

  • How do we install siri on a mac mini with macOS Sierra?

    I have a 2011 mac mini with macOS Sierra installed environment. I know that the mini doesn't have a microphone installed. How do I set up my mini so I use siri? I noticed that when I installed Sierra on my MBP mid-2012, it asked if I wanted to install siri as part of the installation. I selected Yes. It happened when I installed it on my mini, I'm guessing that because there is no microphone on the mini. Thanks in advance.

    You are right. You are prompted to configure Siri during installation only if the computer has a microphone.

    Later, after you add a microphone go to System Preferences > Siri and turn on Siri

  • I have an old Mac Mini with a DVI Port that came with a VGA DVI-adapter.  Tonight, my monitor went down.  Brand new monitor works with that?  Can I use an adapter?  If yes should which adapter I?

    I have an old Mac Mini with a DVI Port that came with a VGA DVI-adapter.  Tonight, my monitor went down.  Brand new monitor works with that? Any recommendations? Can I use an adapter?  If yes should which adapter I?

    You can use any DVI monitor DVI port directly or have any VGA monitor with the power that you adapter. A HDMI monitor might work with an adapter DVI to HDMI in a pinch, but HDMI tends to be more fickle.

  • Mac Mini with os x Lion, said El Capitan partition Boot Camp Windows 7 has lost

    I have a Mid 2011 Mac Mini with os x Lion as my main OS.  I had installed Windows 7 to be started using Boot Camp.  Everything worked perfectly until I added El Capitan under a new partition.   Now, as soon as the boot, there is no option of Boot Camp; There are only Lion and El Capitan options to begin.  However, BOOTCAMP and Win7 files/folders appear in the Finder.

    After reading similar cases here in the support forums, it seems that this may be repairable.  (fingers crossed)  Oh, and FYI, I'm a total beginner when using in the Terminal environment.

    The output for the Terminal commands are:

    Yes, it is better to update the old Mac EC.

    Make sure that you back up the old Mac before the upgrade.

    Note the application of some may require updated to work with CBS. To check see it:

    Also, some devices may require updated drivers and for some devices such drivers do not exist.

  • Mac mini as a media server connected to the hi-fi amplifier

    Hello

    I am considering a Mac Mini to replace my old Lacie Cinema player as my media center. It will be connected to television and, ideally, analog hi-fi amplifier for sound.

    Here are my questions and special needs:

    -want to browse my music library and control the Mac through my iPad or iPhone. Don't want to use the keyboard or the physical remote. Do something like plex installed on ipad control files that reside on the Mac mini (or external hard drive connected to the Mac Mini)?

    -as my amp is analog (with RCA plugs) I guess I have to convert the RCA plugs to the digital amplifier. A Mini Mac USB RCA DAC exist?

    I think that's it! Thanks for any help.

    The Mac Mini are very small computers.

    (for me, it almost seems like a waste to use as only a media center. I use my media center and an office at the same time)

    -want to browse my music library and control the Mac through my iPad or iPhone. Don't want to use the keyboard or the physical remote. Do something like plex installed on ipad control files that reside on the Mac mini (or external hard drive connected to the Mac Mini)?

    Not sure about this one. I am a user of office and control my media from there.

    -as my amp is analog (with RCA plugs) I guess I have to convert the RCA plugs to the digital amplifier.

    Everything you need for an analog RCA connection is a stereo 3.5 mm to RCA cable.

    With adobe export how to convert PPT to pdf with notes pages it only makes the slides

    Hi Robert,.

    We understand your problem, but with the subscription online, we can only convert the slides in PDF format. Speaker's notes would not get converted to PDF.

    If you want to convert the speaker notes with slides, then you need to buy the complete PDF solution: Adobe Acrobat

    Hope that answers your question. I would like to know if you have any other questions.

    Kind regards

    I assumed that you had a digital signature created in your player application of old and whenever you use to fill out a pdf with a signature field signed you it. But in order to draw and then sign you must use Acrobat Pro DC no DC drive.

    Thank you
