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

  • Issue of Mac Mini 2014 SSD

    I'm not too familiar with the configuration of current storage of the Mac Mini. If the reader of the merger is not a true merger but combines a PCIe m2 with a HARD drive. However, I would like to know if buy you one that comes with a PCIe SSD out of the factory, will there still be a SATA port to add a spare hard drive?

    Yes, the logic board of 2014 has two connections. One for the PCIe and the other for a 2.5 "HDD or SSD.

    See > https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Mac_Mini_Late_2014

    If I had to shine up to a 2014, I'd go with the Fusion model.

    Why, because

    1. the only model of HARD drive won't have a PCIe cable and support.

    2. the single PCIe model won't have a SATA cable, and maybe not a disc tray.

  • Need to buy a Mac mini (2014) AC (2 pins), urgently supply cable.

    Where can I get one? They are not on the Apple store website at all. I called Maplin and PC World (I'm in the United Kingdom), they do not their stock. In fact, I was told that I have to make an appt on an Apple Store to get one. I really hope that's not true that I do not drive and my nearest Apple Store is more than 70 miles away. I lost my cable and need to get on the mac mini really soon to get important work done. Can anyone help?

    It's a power cable that looks a bit like a coordinator of the kettle, 2 pins with ideally a UK plug. I am located in the East of Kent.

    The current and for the last years the mini computers Mac have used a type of power connector officially called a C7 but more commonly called an "eight". It is a completely standard cable and is not special to Apple or Mac mini.

    See http://www.amazon.co.uk/White-Figure-Mains-Power-2-5Amp/dp/B00DT4LRQK/

    While that the foregoing would be Amazon VPC's most of the electrical stores will sell this type of cable including Maplin.

    See http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/2m-power-lead-with-figure-of-8-connector-white-n46da

    Note: I chose the Amazon above an example because it's the white color of the an original Apple provided with the Mac mini. Most stores will probably only have black, but of course, that work just as well.

  • Mail of the Mac Mini, iMac with the migration wizard

    I have a mac mini (2014 - El Capitan) that I have used for some time now and I have many mailboxes (30 +) with many stored messages (100s maybe 1000s).

    I recently picked up a 2011 27 iMac which is running OS X Sierra Final Release Candidate due to vision problems.

    Both units are working well but I would like to transfer my boxes to the letters, messages, and the account settings from the Mac Mini to the iMac using Migration Assistant to take advantage of the larger screen.

    Am I able to select only the data for e-mail (boxes letters, messages and settings) to transfer somewhere in the Migration Wizard interface or will it just to start the transfer of all?

    I use iCloud for note, calendars and contacts, but prefer not to use for e-mail.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    The simplest option would be to use Time Machine to restore your data.

    Other Options:

    You can export the folders you want to transfer the mini using export of Mail under mailbox function in the Menu bar > export a mailbox... Drag to the folder on the desktop on the new iMac and import in Mail. File > import boxes mailbox...

    You can also use a third-party application, Emailchemy to export your Mail on the mini and pull only the folders you want and import. If you have many files, it would be a faster option.

    http://www.weirdkid.com/products/emailchemy/

    Otherwise, you could drag on the whole Mail > V3 folder let Sierra update data. This assumes that you have already started using Mail to Sierra.

    You don't have to use iCloud email to use Apple Mail. I strongly suggest that you use IMAP to service what ever you choose to use.  Comcast, Yahoo, Gmail, AOL, Hotmail (other)

  • With the help of Mac Mini like laptop?

    Hi guys,.

    Can I use a Mac Mini as a laptop? I mean go to work every day and carry it in my bag, and then connect to a screen. What I mean if a Mac Mini is of solid construction, built to withstand move it every day. The life of a portable device, haha.

    I just got a Mac Mini 2014, 1.4, 1 Tb Fusion Drive. Moreover, it's my first time with the merger in car. I don't know if they are not intended to transport around or as solid as any player.

    Any ideas?

    See you soon,.

  • End of 2012 Mac Mini running slow - about to try the following

    Hi all

    The performance of my Mac Mini is trying to drop off and looking for possible solutions to this, I can in this thread: Mac Mini (end 2012) is a little slow.

    A few months ago I updated to El Capitan, and am now on 10.11.3.  Since this update, my system performance fell substantially. I would like to see if I can get my Mini for best results there lately.  One of the questions I think contributes to the Mini, less than excellent performance is my router configuration because of environmental constraints, my Mini has 2 walls and about 50 feet, which separates it from the wireless router.  Currently, I don't think that there is something I can do to help that issue, so for now, I put that side.

    In reading the above thread, I have also still only 4 original GB or RAM and the original supplied with my Mini.

    RAM: 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    HD: I have not changed the HD that came with the mini, so I guess I have the 2.5 GHz 500 GB (5400 RPM) hard drive it is stated in the specifications.

    Lately, I noticed Chrome running progressively slower (to the point of frustration).  Therefore, I uninstalled Chrome and returned using Safari.  As more and more, I use Safari, I think that his performance is what it is.  I tried the Brave and my experience with it is mixed (at least on this point).

    Question: I guess the first thing to do is to increase my RAM to 4 GB - and I will order the RAM here in a moment.  What browser is best to use in this case: Chrome? Safari? Brave? Something else?  Or it is better to run through all these during the upgrade of RAM is installed?

    Let me start with that and I will update this thread as mandate experience.  Thanks in advance for any help and / or thoughts.
