Does this work with a Mini DisplayPort? I have an early 2009 Mac Mini with only a Mini DisplayPort output.

I do not believe so. at least not without an adapter. i used it to plug into a display port so my system would detect multiple monitors.

No, but that model also doesn't have integrated graphics so it shouldn't have the same issue this was designed to address.

No, this model of the emulator is HDMI, works only with Mac Mini 2011 and beyond.

I'm using it on a 2011 mini with a display port to HDMI adapter (thunderbolt port). (PNY A-DM-HD-W01 Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter).Using "Display Menu" app allowed access to a lot resolution options with 4K version of emulator.The HDMI port seemed to interfere with the FireWire disc for some reason. So I moved it to the adapter and it was stable. My understanding is that pre 2011 minis do not turn off the GPU when no monitor is connected. If with no monitor the cursor tails behind badly then the GPU is off.Hope this helps.

It might with a HDMI-to-MiniDisplayPort converter (with the appropriate type connections, F HDMI to M MiniDisplayPort.) But even then, there is no guarantee. We've had experiences where passive converter devices will not properly translate the signal, and working with Macs to non-Mac displays is the biggest culprit in these failures.

Believe that is exactly what you need. Mine is about a year older. Try to zoom in on the smaller end if the cable and compare it to the external monitor port on the MacBook.

Yes it will. I recently bought a mac mini and ran into the same problem of how to hook up to a vga monitor. This works perfectly and you should have no problem with it!

Yes, my wife has this Monitor connected to a Mac Mini, you just may need an adapter.

I could not find anything with the model numbers provided, but as long as your Mac uses a Mini DisplayPort and you're trying to connect it to a device with a VGA cable the connection will work.

I used it on a newer MacBook air Monday. It has the same Mini DisplayPort connector as my MacBook pro has. If yours has the same connector I would think you could expect the same results.

Yes. Purchase a miniDisplayPort to DisplayPort cable. I use this interchangeably between an iMac and a MacBook Pro.

I am using it right now on the new mac mini. Came back here to write a review stating that it does work with the new mac mini but confirming that here seems appropriate.Had to install kext driver from: plugable dot comListed here in my system: /dev/tty.usbserialAnd I'm using it with a cisco switch now: screen /dev/tty.usbserial 9600

I do not know if it can work on mac mini, I use it to connect laptop Dell with external screen an works fantastic.

1. Verify that you have have correctly set the input source in the on screen display for the cable/input you are trying at the time . This monitor does NOT automatically switch to the active source. 2. Disable DisplayPort 1.2 mode in the monitor. There seems to be a problem with this mode when connected to Macs, not clear where the problem is, but likely an issue in 10.9.2. 3. Verify that the Mac "sees" the monitor in the "about this Mac" Display panel 4. The best option for you is the miniDisplayPort to DisplayPort cable, as that does not require any additional components, so concentrate on that cable/mode, set the monitor to DisplayPort input (not miniDisplayPort!) and make sure the cables are fully seated. Without more information on what you see on the monitor and mac when you try, it is difficult to guess what your problem is.

If it's a newer Mac mini with an HDMI hookup then yes. Although there are no speakers in this monitor so only the image transfers. Other than the HDMI is has a VGA hookup, so if you get an adapter that converts your current slot, I believe it's DVI, to VGA then it will work that way as well.

I'm not sure. It says it works with mini display ports, but the Macbook 2006 has a mini DVI instead. Which is a less advanced version basically. I would say that it probably won't work. You could probably buy an adapter to fit them all together. Heres a link about stuff: http://store.apple.com/us/questions/product/MB570Z/B/mini-displayport-to-dvi-adapter

According to data bases, yes, it will work with this particular Mac Mini.Visuals on plugs also appear to be the same.

Is this the model you own? https://support.apple.com/kb/sp618?locale=en_US If so, your laptop supports Mini Displayport. Thanks!

You need to get a Mini Display port to VGA or a Thunderbolt to VGA adaptor.This is for apples made in the mid 2000's

You will need a converter! It might be an Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter, but I apologize that I cannot remember exactly - I bought one, and it looked very much like this: http://www.showmecables.com/product/Mini-DisplayPort-to-DVI-Adapter.aspx?utm_source=google&utm;_medium=cse&utm;_campaign=2914&zmam;=49733141&zmac;=5&zmas;=1&zmap;=2914&gc;lid=CMWt0KeH_L4CFbRj7AodaB8AEg.Check to make sure I'm not telling you the wrong thing! I also looked into HDMI converters, but I don't think so fit. I was able to check one out from my local library, because they keep HDMI converters to connect Macs to overhead projectors, and that allowed me to try and find out that it didn't work.
