How to Resolve Mac Mini Display Problems After Connecting Apple Vision Pro

I connected my Apple Vision Pro using the virtual display option. Now there is no signal from the Mac Mini to either of my displays even after disconnecting from AVP.


I am not sure how to troubleshoot this problem and need a bit of help. Does the AVP prevent external displays from connecting while mirroring? Is there a way to soft reset or reinstall latest OS to Mac mini to try and reverse any changes made?


It seems that only virtual displays work for my Mac mini now.

If you're experiencing display problems on your Mac Mini after connecting an Apple Pro Display XDR, here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

  1. Check Cable Connections: Ensure that all cables are securely connected between your Mac Mini and the Pro Display XDR. Use the appropriate cables (such as Thunderbolt 3 or USB-C) and ports on both devices.
  2. Verify Power Connection: Make sure the Pro Display XDR is receiving power and turned on. Check the power cable and ensure it's properly connected to a power source.
  3. Adjust Display Settings: Go to System Preferences > Displays on your Mac Mini and check the display settings. Make sure the Pro Display XDR is recognized and selected as the primary display. You can adjust the resolution, refresh rate, and other display settings here.
  4. Update macOS: Ensure that your Mac Mini is running the latest version of macOS. Software updates can sometimes include fixes for display-related issues. Go to System Preferences > Software Update to check for and install any available updates.
  5. Check Compatibility: Confirm that your Mac Mini model is compatible with the Pro Display XDR. Some older Mac Mini models may not fully support the capabilities of the Pro Display XDR, such as the highest resolution or refresh rates.
  6. Reset NVRAM/PRAM: Resetting the NVRAM (non-volatile random-access memory) or PRAM (parameter random-access memory) on your Mac Mini can sometimes resolve display-related issues. To do this, restart your Mac Mini and immediately hold down Command + Option + P + R keys until you hear the startup chime a second time.
  7. Update Pro Display XDR Firmware: If your Pro Display XDR has firmware updates available, make sure to install them. You can check for updates using the Pro Display XDR Control Panel on your Mac Mini.
  8. Test with Another Device: If possible, try connecting the Pro Display XDR to another compatible device (such as another Mac or a MacBook Pro) to see if the issue persists. This can help determine if the problem is with the display or the Mac Mini.


I hope this will help you...
