I have a late 2014 Mac mini I just received. I am having problems with VGA monitors. I have tried 2 different monitors that work fine on my PC. On the Mac that flash off and on for various periods of time. I have tried two different Thunderbolt to VGA adapters. No luck. Any suggestions?
Mac mini, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
What monitor(s) and what brand are the VGA adapters that you have tried....?
If the monitor is 24" or smaller and has DVI input, then you would be better off using an Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter and a DVI cable.
If the monitor is 27" or larger and/or has Display Port input, then you would be better off using a Mini DisplayPort to Display Port cable.

Both monitors are ProView 22" with both VGA and DVI.
You did not answer "what brand are the VGA adapters"
I purchased some non-name mini displayport>VGA adopters that did not work
I would try a mini displayport>DVI adopter. The mini displayport plugs into the Thunderbolt port.
Ditto' you will do much better using the digital DVI monitor connections than using analog VGA anyway.
Also not all adapters are created equal and I would suggest going with either genuine Apple or Kanex Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapters.

New to Apple. Mac mini (Late 2014) VGA monitors (2 so far) flash off and on. Using Thunderbolt to VGA adapter (2 so far). Any suggestions?
