• 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.

• 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.

• Do I need a PCI Ethernet card on my Mac mini to connect to the Ethernet connection?

  I tried to set up my mac mini on my ethernet newly updated. Nothing seems to work. When I scanned the information system and click on the Ethernet cards, I received the message: this computer does not have any Ethernet PCI cards installed.

  I checked and I had the latest version 3.28.2 noted Incompatible Kernel Extension Configuration Data, which has been a problem for other people.

• HP w2207h monitor: HP monitor crashes if connected to the Mac Mini

  My w2207h monitor works fine connected to 2 computers. A Dell laptop connected with a cable HDMI and a Fujitsu PC connected with VGA cable. I spend between the 2 with the menu key of monitors and the function 'change the video input '. However, I just buy a Mac Mini and connected via HDMI but now, pass the VGA to HDMI causes the monitor to crash/power down. Even the light around the power button goes off and nothing works. To relight the monior screen, the only way is to disconnect the cable from power for a few minutes. The monitor works with an another old laptop connected via HDMI as doeas the Mac Mini connected to an old television set. I thought HDMI HDMI was, but this monior dislikes my Mac. Any ideas?

  Thanks for the information Dunidar. A long session, running tests with Apple confirmed that this monitor does not work with Mac Mini. The only solution was to buy a new monitor :-(

• Can I connect my MacBook Air to my Mac Mini so that I can use the display of the Mac Mini?

  Hi all

  Can I connect my MacBook Air to my Mac Mini so that I can use the display of the Mac Mini?

  The Mac Mini is the end of 2014 with 2 ports thunderbolt model and is connected to a mini display port monitor.

  Any ideas? Suggestions?

• Can I use an Apple TV on a Mac mini/TBD instead of a TV?

  I bought the 4th generation Apple TV yesterday. I don't have a TV, so I use streaming on my Macbook Pro (early 2013) or Mac mini (end of 2014), often using AirPlay. I read somewhere that any Mac with the HDMI connector will be able to connect to the Apple TV. However, when I haven't tried to put in place last night on my Mac nothing happened - no screen set. Then I created mountain BIKING with my projector and it worked fine, so I used it for a few hours.

  My mac mini is connected to my Thunderbolt display. My plan was to have next to the mini ATV, connected via HDMI and we hope to activate and use the ATV through the TBD. Is there a reason why wouldn't this configuration? Or I have to change any input or output parameters?

  HDMI ports are not multi directional.  There are inputs and outputs, nothing which does both.  HDMI ports on computers came out.  On the ATV HDMI port is out.  Ports HDMI TV came.  Projectors have entered HDMI.  As the birds and the bees, inputs connect with outputs.

  I appeciate wanting to use your Thunderbolt display, but unless you can find an HDMI input or an adapter for HDMI output in thunderbolt (not the reverse adapter which are common), you're out of luck.  You would need to connect directly to the screen.

  Apple TV has been designed to serve your HDTV display...

• Can I connect my Mac Mini 2011 my end of 2014 Mac Mini using Thunderbold cable to double the RAM?

  My Mac Mini end of 2014 cannot add everything exceeds 8 GB RAM cable.

  I don't know why Mac was given the opportunity to add more RAM as applications become more and more wide and double my RAM will allow me to run applications of additional third party all in post processing my images.

  I have my Mac Mini 2011 with a Thunderbolt Plug and a delay in 2014 with 2 Sockets Thunderbolt

  I just want to connect two computers so that I can use 8 + 8 = 16 GB of RAM for photography post-processing.

  Buy everything just a Thunderbolt Apple cable to connect two computers and be speed up along?

  I'll probably have to update the old OS Mini at El Capitan

  Thank you!

  No. but you can connect both via TB for quick file sharing

• Above 50 ft HDMI cable will work a Mid-2011 Mac Mini?

  I want to run a cable HDMI 50 feet from the station to my mid-2011 Mac Mini computer to my TV. I want to use a 50 ft HDMI cable. Using a long cable more work or break my Mac Mini?

  In addition, due to the configuration of my TV, I have two HDMI ports. They are tied up with other devices. Connection to a HDMI cable from 50 feet to a dispatcher (on television) will add any stress to my Mac Mini (mid-2011)?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  Than 50 feet is maximum for an HDMI cable, but that applies to 720 p. Sometimes 1080 p and sometimes not.

  However, I am concerned about the "splitter" you mention. Will probably further reduce the maximum length 50 feet unless it has its own amplifier.

• End of 2012 the Ethernet Mini Mac does not connect

  Everything worked very well upward until a week ago.  I did all these recent software updates to cause problems.

  I'm running OS X 10.11.3.  I use wired ethernet.  My ethernet does not work.  Preferences network indicates that the cable is disconnected.  It is not the case.  I tried to use another cable and same results.  I have a managed switch and it still says that when the Mini is on that the port is turned on and has 1000 full duplex connection.  When I power down the port turns off indicating it is nothing plugged in, when I turn on it powered back upward.  Therefore, it is not as if the ethernet port has failed.

  I tried to renew the DHCP lease in network, deactivation and reactivation of the ethernet service preferences and still no luck.  Keeps coming up as ethernet is not connected.  I opened terminal and ran ifconfig and receive nothing.  I am unable to ping to any external site.  I am also unable to connect to my modem.

  Wireless works fine.  I have a second, identical Mac Mini connected to the same hardware via ethernet, which works very well, so it doesn't seem to be any hardware related issues.  I use all the gear from ubiquiti networks, 24-port POE switch and usg 4 router pro, all new age of 2 months.  This must be a Mac issue and has nothing to do with my equipment.  2014 mac Book Pro works fine as well as 2 iPad Pros and 2 iPhones though wireless connections for them.

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  It happened to other institutions.

• connection ethernet Mac mini

  My Mac Mini (latest model 2014) suddenly stopped to connect to my network home yesterday. I can still connect wirelessly, but not via the ethernet cable.

  I tried to connect the Mac Mini to different ethernet ports, without passing through routers and switches and using different cables. But it doesn't go anywhere.

  Other computers (Windows) to connect very well to all ethernet ports.

  Can someone tell me how I can determine if this is a hardware problem or a software problem?

  In Network preferences, he says just "Cable Disconnected".

  Thank you
  Ian

• 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)

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

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

• 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?
