Mac Mini :: Video Performance Will Be Improved (HDMI Port) After Upgrade?

Jul 4, 2010

I need some advice on whether a hardware update will actually improve my video performance or not. Currently I am using a mac mini snow leopard server 2009 model hooked via mini display port to hdmi adapter to my lg 37 LED LCD TV. The mac mini has a intel x25 m 80 gb bootdrive.
2 external fw 800 drives used as video storage. Mostly I use boxee eyetv sat all controlled via appleremote - sofacontrol.

Altogether a great setup. With big mkv files in full hd the picture sometimes is choppy. Would a upgrade to the new 2010 mac mini server with direct hdmi port and 320M graphics actually improve the video quality - graphics performance? or should I stick to my current setup? (I bought the current server cheap from the uk)

MacBook Pro :: Remove Ethernet And Mini Display Port And Insert HDMI Port?

Aug 11, 2009

How many of you would like to see a HDMI Port? Why the miniDisplay port? Why not remove ethernet jack and miniDisplay port and replace it with a HDMI port. That way one HDMI cable feeds digital video AND audio. Am I the only one thinking of this?

Hardware :: 10.5.6 - Improved Performance Of TC And TM

Dec 15, 2008

One of the stated features of 10.5.6 is improved performance of TC and TM. I've got a TC and have switched off TM b/c it worked so poorly on my Macbook Air. After about a week I would find that my TM would get stuck and corrupted and cause TM to stall on preparing and then fail to load the drive and then proceed to knock down the wireless network. Has anybody who was having problems with TC and TM in the past upgraded to 10.5.6 and seen improvements? I finally got my wireless network working alright and I'm not quite sure how convinced I am that TM will start working now.

Mac Mini :: Back Of The Mini Has An HDMI Port?

Feb 26, 2012

I have just purchased a new Mac Mini (MC816B/A), it is to replace an old PC.  The PC is running two monitors through a dual display graphics card, and in the short term I'd like to use these until I can afford Apple displays. 

The back of the Mini has an HDMI port, Firewire and a Thunderbolt port.  How can I use my two regular displays (they are TFT and have VGA and DVI connections)?  There are also 4 x USB ports as well.

OS X :: Get Mini Display Port To DVI Then DVI To HDMI?

Oct 19, 2009

i just bought a mini display port to hdmi adapter, an HDMI to HDMI cable, and an audio cable for my 2008 unibody macbook (Snow Leopard). I've been trying to use my 26" 720p Sanyo [URL] as a monitor to display my computer so I can watch things that I have on my computer. When I plug it into HDMI one like I'm suppose to, it doesn't work- but you see static and it flickers sometimes. Was I only suppose to get mini display port to DVI then DVI to HDMI?

Notes: If i plug it into the second HDMI adaptor( doesn't say DVI) and set it to 720p then i get a fuzzy picture that is displayed correctly (You can see the entire status bar)

OS X :: Connecting Mini Display Port To HDMI On Mbp?

Jan 11, 2010

I am new here, I have been watching the forum but have not needed to post until now. I have a june 2.8 MBP running snow leopard and I am having problems with Mini DP to HDMI. I have a convertor to go direct to hdmi from mini dp but when I use it to watch movies the color is really dark. It is almost unwatchable.

It is not a hardware thing because when I boot into windows 7 I can watch the same file with the same hardware with no issue with darkness.

I was wondering if anyone has come across this issue in snow leopard. I have searched mroogle as well as good and could not find anything.

MacBook Pro :: Get Mini Display Port To Dvi Or HDMI?

May 24, 2010

I just ordered a new 15" mbp, and a 24" Dell ultrasharp with display port. I am a bit confused about the cables I need. The Dell monitor arrived with some interesting looking cables that look like they might be displayport - but the mbp looks much smaller (mini). I have searched amazon and apple stores looking for the cable or adapter that I need, but I am not clear. I assume I can get the mini displayport to dvi or HDMI, but that seems silly when my monitor supports displayport ...

Intel Mac :: Mini Display Port To HDMI?

Mar 23, 2012

I purchased a mini display port to HDMI. I attached the HDMI end into the back of my TV in the HDMI input 2 section.  Then I attached the other end of the mini display port into the back of my IMac desktop. Nothing is happening. I went online to follow directions which told me to go into my 'System Preferences', then click 'Display' and then click the 'Arrangements' tab that would appear.  However no arrangements tab appears. Did I buy the right cord?

MacBook Pro :: Connecting Mini Display Port To TV HDMI

Mar 22, 2012

I have a new MacBook Pro 17" computer. I want to play a DVD through the computer to a Toshiba 26" flat screen TV, using a mini port to HDMI.

At first nothing happened, then after much fiddling I got the Apple Spiral Galaxy image on the TV and my usual desktop on the computer. I then discovered that I can move the cursor from my desktop across to the right, where it disappears from my computer screen and appears on the left side of the spiral galaxy on the TV. So it's like I have two side-by-side screens, the Apple galaxy on the left, my computer on the right. In addition, I keep my dock on the right side and it's barely visible on the right side of the galaxy screen.

Incidentally if I play the DVD I can drag and drop it to the right so it slides off of my computer and onto the galaxy. But I know that's not the real solution.

I know there are a couple of topics around here about this, but none of them are very clear.

So, I'm looking for a mini displayport to HDMI adapter that supports sound. No extra USB or 3,5mm jack for sound.

It also would be nice if the product was available in Europe (Netherlands) otherwise the shipping cost are just too high.
