Ok, sorry must be getting mixed up. please explain what this app does? I thought it let you run a mac mini with no display connected? but now it would seem you have to have your I phone switched on so it can send the video is this correct? I would not really want to have to do this as like now my phone is switched off I just have my mac mini connected to the TV with a long HDMI leed and have the telly off and it just works. thanks in advance.

Well, what I've done in the mean time, is use an app that sends the mac's video 
to an iPhone.

Since the MacMini can be connected viah HDMI cable, you can go grab a HDTV 19 
or 22 inches, maybe smaller for less than 150 bucks.  Works like a charm.  I 
don't even use my HDTV for this, but it is hooked up viah HDMI cable just in 
case I need sited help with something, witch is very rare since the mac rocks 
on accessibliity.

Be careful about the monitor though. I have an HP monitor that came with an old HP 
desktop computer, and the monitor simply will not work. I've got it plugged into the mac 
via the VGA adaptor plugged into the thunderbult plug on the Mini. The mac will not 
recognize the display, saying "unknown display" in system preferences then 
displays. I looked on the Apple support forum and that HP monitor was specifically made 
for Windows.

Hi Pam,
I think the advice you have gotten for your friend about sticking with Windows 
is probably good. However, I don't agree with the folks who say if you're going 
to buy, get an air, not a mini, and here's why.

It is true that with a mini, you must buy a keyboard and speakers. And I think 
you still need a monitor, although those are cheap, and if he has a Windows 
machine with the monitor, he probably already has something that would work. 
The cost of the mini would probably come up to be about the cost of an air if 
you add those things in, depending on the price of the speakers of course. You 
would end up with better speakers, of course. You would also have the 
possibility of getting a full keyboard including the keypad, which does not 
come on the air. That gives you two sets of complete arrow keys plus the keypad 
which you can use with the keypad commander. Also, the mini is more powerful 
than the air, that is better processor more RAM more storage. So, unless 
portability is a big deal, I think the mini is a better thing. Maybe I'm 
prejudiced, because I have one. I would not trade it for an air, unless I 
needed that portability.

Hi everyone,
I have a friend who is considering purchasing a Mac mini. The basic reason for 
wanting the Mac Mini is cost. He also does not want to take the time to learn 
windows eight or windows 10. He's been stuck on Windows XP since long before 
support stopped last year. His only dealings with voiceover is with iOS devices 
along with his AppleTV. He is not one who does well with major change in 
electronics in his life. I don't want to turn this into an Apple versus Windows 
discussion other than to say I suggested he look for a Windows 7 machine 
because it was something  that he is familiar with. My question for the group 
is this; other than the base cost, as I understand it of $699 for the Mac Mini, 
what are the auxiliary purchases needed in order to make it functional? If I'm 
correct, that does not include a screen, does it include a keyboard or  
speakers?
I also know firsthand what it's like attempting to learn a new operating system 
and screen reader on your own. I had the patients. He does not. Thank God for 
this group. I would've been lost. I'm attempting to get him to join it before 
he makes his purchase. Any suggestions or help you could offer would be greatly 
appreciated.
Many many thanks,

Pam Francis
