Hardware :: Finding Settings For Mini Dvi Output

Aug 16, 2009

when i plug in the converter, the mac recognizes it and readjusts the screen

on the tv, (my older read projection) ,all i see is grey squiggly lines, not snow.. the picture is there but it is not converted properly. i cant see anything. i press command f1 and something usually happens and goes back to the grey shit.

i try it on my hd tv, and it just says /'no signal/', so i am assuming that the picture isnt getting converted properly. could it be my converter, or is it something in the output setting or the mini divi port? the converter i got was one from best buy- dynex, and it has a mini dvi male, and a female composite and s-video.

PowerPC :: IMac G5 Mini-DVI Output Resolution Settings?

Mar 9, 2007

I am wanting to hook my iMac G5 (iSight) to my 42" plasma screen, courtesy of the Mini-DVI adapter. I am aware of what cable I need to get (DVI-D, if I recall correctly), I am simply concerned with the achievable resolution.

If any of you have hooked up your iMacs in this way, could you inform me what resolutions you all have been able to achieve? My plaz can display up to 1080i.

MacBook Pro :: Sound Settings Show No Output Device Running 10.9.3

Jun 26, 2014

Macbook Pro Sound has suddenly stopped working 

The Sound Settings show no output device. When trying to adjust the sound a circle with a line through it appears. Cannot run the volume adjusted up or down either. Also the sound does not work with a headset either.  Have tried PRAM and SMC rest as well as plugging and unplugging headset.  Running 10.9.3.  Was running fine yesterday - feels like it may be hardware problem?

Mac Mini :: 5.1 Audio On HDMI Output?

Jun 15, 2010

Does anyone know if the new mac mini models have multi-channel audio out on the HDMI port? or any audio out for that matter?

This has been lacking on the optical audio output of the older models and would rock if it now has this feature.

I've got a Mac Mini at home, but I'm at work now and just have a quick question. I've noticed on the Apple marketing blurb that the Mini audio output will do Line Out as well as headphones. Do you have to switch the output over in Audio/MIDI setup or something?

Mac Mini :: Can't Select Audio Output If Using ACD And Speakers

Mar 25, 2010

i'm using my mac mini with the ACD 24" and i get the sound from the screen because it is "very slightly bettter" than the speaker of the mac mini (even if both are quite disappointing)

when i connected external speakers on the jack of the mini, it is simply impossible even with the soft soundsource to switch audio outputs on the fly

external speakers seem to have the priority over other outputs

is there a way to get through it ?

Mac Mini :: Turn On Multiple Sound Output Devices?

Mar 23, 2012

I have multiple displays connected via the HDMI port and one to the mini port as well and a theater sound system attached to the headphone jack.  How do you turn on sound output to both HDMI and headphone jack.  If the headphone jack is plugged in, it always defaults to that device.  I am unable to hear the audio at the remote displays without removing the headphone jack.

Mac Mini :: After Upgrade To Lion Hdmi Output Not Allowed?

Jul 4, 2012

I upgraded my Mac Mini to Lion. When I go to the sound output, I still have two options: 

* Headphones  (Headphone port)

* marantz-AVR (HDMI) 

When I select the Marantz, it highlights in blue momentarily and then slides back to Headphones. It does not stay on the Marantz. I've restarted both units, unplugged cables, and the same. What do I do now? And, yes, everything worked perfectly just before my Lion upgrade.

MacBook Pro :: Mini To HDMI Output No Longer Working After Update?

Sep 12, 2010

I have a 17" unibody MBP (most current version) with 10.6.4, and I downloaded the recent firmware updates for the MBP's. Before I did this, the mini port to HDMI video/audio output was working perfectly, I could watch anything right off my MBP. After installing the updates, when I plug in the cable, my MBP flickers, goes blue, and then comes back, but the TV does not detect the signal from the laptop. In the Display and Sound menus in System Preferences, there's no option to set up a second display like there was before.

Mac Mini :: 3.5mm Jack Accommodate Digital Optical Audio Output

May 4, 2009

I just picked up a new 1.83 core 2 duo at a price I couldn't pass up. I am going to use it as a HTPC so I have my hdmi cable, etc. All hooked up and ready to go. Last bit is the audio but I am having a bit of trouble. I bought a standard miniplug cable and assumed it would plug in just like my macbook. The problem is that the miniplug doesn't fit in the jack on the mini. I understand that the jack on the mini is a combo analog/optical jack but as you see below, it seems as though a standard miniplug y cable should work.

From the Apple support website:
The headphone / line output jack accommodates digital optical audio output, analog audio output with a 24-bit, 44.1-192 kHz D/A converter, digital audio output up to 24-bit stereo and 44.1-192 kHz sampling rate and supporting encoded digital audio output (AC3 and DTS). For analog headphone / line output a standard audio cable with 3.5mm metal plug should be used.

For digital audio, a standard toslink cable with a toslink mini-plug adapter can be used.I have done my research and some reading and can go out and buy an optical cable plus a miniplug/optical adapter but would rather go the analog route (I understand the quality difference) because I already have the cables and don't have a receiver or speakers, just my tv speakers.

Mac Mini :: Can't Work With Internet Drivers / Input / Output Error

Jan 5, 2010

Switched my Mac Mini (first rev PPC 2005 model) yesterday morning to find that the internal drive had vanished, seemingly. It was not mounted on the desktop(I boot from an external Lacie firewire drive as a rule. Went into Disk Utility and attempted to initialise the drive. Failed with and 'Input/Output' error.

Rebooted into open firmware as there was a DVD in the drive which I could not eject, was unable to eject the DVD using the Open Firmware command for doing so.

Began to assume the drive was completely Kaput and maybe also the DVD/CD drive as this had been acting up of late. New Mac time... Switched all my equip off at the plug last night as I turned in for bed and switched everything back on this morning and as if by magic the internal drive was there and I was able to eject the 'stuck' DVD. I have run Disk Utility a number of times and the drive appears to be fine. Also downloaded a copy of 'Smart Reporter' which shows it as being fine.

Hardware :: Multi - Display With Mac Mini (output Through HDMI Port Through Distribution Amp To 3 TVs)

Nov 6, 2010

I've installed a Mac Mini (unibody) on a friend's boat and have the display output through the HDMI port througha distribution amp to 3 TVs. I have been having resolution difficulties though. When the display is output this way (split three ways) the resolution does not fit the displays, and there is no means to change it to a setting where it will fit the TVs. All TVs are full-HD and 1080p. The screen expands outside of the viewable area.

Intel Mac :: Can A 2007 Feed Two HDMI Projector Signals From Its Mini-DVI Output

May 28, 2012

Happy to find any solution to this including an HDMI splitter box, mac mini solution, anything from Matrox or Blackmagic design, or if it is more cost effective even buying a new imac if it can output two video signals at the same time. So basically I wish to feed the same computer output images via mini DVI to two HDMI projectors simultaneously.

MacBook Air :: Projector - Finding Best Settings

Aug 30, 2008

I have a MBA (my first apple since the Mac SE 20... ha!) and I have a Dell 2300 multimedia projector. I have the DVI-VGA adaptor, but I can't get a good picture to project. I've toyed with the display settings to see if I can get it to improve. The picture stays dark, or blurry, etc etc.

Is there a setting I'm missing, or could I maybe have a bad adaptor?
