Good price for Mac Mini

[Celerondon]

Hmmm, I can't seem to find the dummy dongles for sale here in the U.K. Any other suggestions?

Take a look at this type.

How did I miss that?

Thank you.

OK, so it finally arrived.

Point number 3 in the instructions say "Log-in remotely to headless computer and select desired resolution"

I don't know how to log in remotely. I thought it was just a simple matter of plugging it in and leaving it. Also, I will, from time to time be connecting the Mac Mini to my TV via HDMI cable and I don't want to have to keep changing the resulting back and forth every time I do so.

Any suggestions?

No Worries!

Remote login and display handshake/identification are issues that people discuss on these forums. Recently I got curious about remote login apps and downloaded Team Viewer. I intended to use it to connect an iPad to my Mac. It was simple to install and use. From download to control I had a remote connection in less than ½ hour. There may be better remote control packages but I doubt that they are a better deal. Both components of the Team Viewer package were free. Here is a comment from a thread that covered a related topic, remote restarts.

Why does the resolution need tinkered with anyway? Can't I plug this thing in and just leave it?

From what I've read on their website it's mainly for screen sharing. I'm not screen sharing so do I really need to adjust the resolution?

Anyone? Does adjusting the resolution trigger something on in the Fit-Headless dongle or can I just plug it in and forget about it?

OR

Can I plug this dongle in to my rMBP and set it up that way that way I can see what I'm doing on screen without having to remote login.
