Mac mini configuration screen

Hello

I have a mini mac who arrive and will use an iPad as a monitor with the app "Duo". I must of course implementation with another external monitor prior to that. My question: the installation program can be completed by plugging in just the mini hdmi port tv as a monitor set up temporary? or the mini isn't 'Plug and play '.

I have a fairly new Samsung tv and a little older LG tv, but both have hdmi.

Unfortunately, I live in a remote area is a 4 hours return to buy or borrow a monitor. I'll do this if necessary but we would prefer if possible. I searched communities and know that this answer would be somewhere but have had no luck locating. Forgive my naievety with such a simple question and I thank you in advance for any assistance.

A TV with a compatible entry like HDMI works perfectly for defined and even continue to use. The only drawback is that sometimes just TV screens do not look good

  • 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!

    I'm considering buying a Mac Mini and want to use my Benq Sensye LED current monitor that displays in 16 / 9.

    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

    (HDMI) may not be appropriate when the compromise compromises the quality.

    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!

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

  • 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.

  • gray screen on mac mini

    Hello

    My Mac Mini server is running 10.6. Now when I start it, I get the Apple, then I get the circle with the line through it, then I get the flashing folder.

    I tried to reboot using the SHIFT key, as well as the command-r and neither work. I always get just the gray screen.

    now, since this is a mac mini, it doesn't have a DVD/CD player, so I can not put my disk server in there and start from that.

    What are my options at this point?

    Thank you

    Dave

    command + R does not work on systems without the own firmware, more No 10.6 restorations system with the command-R, only 10.7 and subsequent restoration with the command-R.  10.6 was available on DVD, and you can start with the down Option.  10.6 Server on the server of the Mini is a different operating system, and you really should put these questions in the forum server below:

  • My screen is not clear on the mac mini, when you use HDMI with a TV monitor

    I have just bought a new Mac Mini and plugged into my TV with the HDMI cable. The display is not very clear, and in particular, the text seems to be very low resolution. Someone has ideas how to change settings to improve quality?

    What is the native resolution of the TV?
    What is the display resolution?

    Go to System Preferences > displays and look.

    Also dot the circle that says put across and what resolutions are available?

  • 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

    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
