Have you spoken to whoever replaced the superdrive? Why not take it back there?

  • I just had my mac mini repaired and now it is saying it is an Un-Authorized computer

    I just had my mac mini repaired and now it is saying it is an Un-Authorized computer for Itunes. It is my 5th computer.

    If you had 5 computers authorized, one of them the Mini, prior to the repair, then iTunes has continued to have it registered in its original form, but the repairs have made it look like a new computer.
    You will need to de-authorize all your computer as described in this Apple Help page, which says
    Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
    If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
    Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
    In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
    Then you can re-authorize each of your computers individually.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • HT4275 im scared of my charger - it gets so hot i cant touch it - what damage is this going to do in the long run?

    I just bought my first macbook pro 3 weeks ago. I have noticed that the charger gets exstremly hot. It has now started to stop and start charging when it feels like it. is this a normal complaint or do i need to go back to the shop and ask for another charger?

    You may not need a new charger, as they can get fairly warm. But it defintely wouldn't hurt to take it in and have it checked out just in case!

  • Just purchased first mac, (Mini) did I forget anything?

    Hey Guys,
    I am a windows user, want to play with the Mac. I just bought a Mac Mini 80gig superdrive unit. I ordered a mac keyboard, apple support, and the M-Audio FastTrack Recording Interface to record my instruments.
    I expect to buy a regular usb mouse (is ths possible or has to be an apple mouse?)
    Also what would be the best way to switch the monitor between my pc and the mac? I am aware of KVM's but not sure how the Monitor ONLY solution will work!
    Please help and offer any advice, I am VERY excited about getting my hands on this thing!

    Arnold,
    Before I got my Apple Cinema Display I shared a TFT between the mini and my iMac. I bought a cheap, mechanical KVM-switch and just connected the TFT and both computers. Each computer used it's own keyboard and mouse. Worked like charme.

  • I have just update my mac mini server to OX Yosemite, but now the iTunes is not working at all.

    I have just updated my Mac Mini Server (Mid 2011) to OS Yosemite ver 10.10, after the update, iTunes is not working, and i have tried to reinstall iTunes over and over again but it was not successful , please advise if you have a solution or share similar problems. Thank you.

    You have to upgrade to 10.6.8 to be able to download iTunes 10.7 or 11.  The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion or Mountain Lion. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    First we need to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
    The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard.
    The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion.
    The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion.

    You mean, MacOS X 10.9.2 and GarageBand 10.0.2?
    How far does the download proceed? Do you get an error message?

  • I just had the seagate hard drive replaced and the fan is running loud

    I just had the seagate hard drive replaced and the fan is running loud

    Is your iMac a late 2009 or newer model? Did Apple do the replacement or someone else? There is a documented issue where Apple changed the hard drive heat sensor from outside the drive to inside. If you install a replacement hard drive in a late 2009 or newer iMac that's not an Apple-sourced drive, two things happen ... the fan runs like crazy and the Apple hardware test doesn't work properly.
    You can read these OWCS blogs here and here on it. 

  • I just bought a mac mini over the weekend. I saved items from my old G4 to an external hard drive. I go to plug in the external hard drive and the new computer is not recognizing it. Help.

    I just bought a mac mini over the weekend. I saved items from my old G4 to an external hard drive. I go to plug in the external hard drive and the new computer is not recognizing it. Help.
    Here is the information I have. The external hard drive is a 120GB Acomdata. It has both USB and Firewire. When I go to plug in to the mac mini through USB, it is not being recognized. When I switch to Firewire on the old computer I can see it, however when I go to USB it is not being recognized (even on the old computer).
    I'm at a loss as to what to do. Any advice would be helpful.

    Have you ever tried the FW 400 to 800 adapter?
    I have used them on multiple occasions and they work just fine.
    Try this (maybe you already have):
    -Boot Mini with drive disconnected.
    -Do not connect drive but turn it on
    -wait a few seconds for drive to spin up
    -plug cable into the Mini then into drive.
    This is an old drive and may have some timing
    issues.
    I had an Acomdata drive a long time ago.  It
    worked fine with FW but USB was flakey.

  • I'm wondering if anyone else has had problems with their imac fans being extremely loud when running at slow speeds?  When the computer heats up enough for the fans to run at higher speeds they quiet down. New HD fan was just installed.

    I have an imac that I've had for a couple years.  The fans have always been loud when running at the slower speeds.  When the computer heats up enough for the fans to run at a higher speed the fans quiet down.  I had installed SMC fan control after multiple attempts with Apple to get the fan issue resolved.  That seemed to keep the fans quiet enough.  I've never had a problem with overheating.  Recently the fans were becoming loud again even running at the slightly higher speeds so I took it to my local Apple store and they replaced the hard drive fan.  I got it back and it's now as loud or louder than ever!!  And, now SMC fan control won't "stick."  The fans will speed up, but then gradually go back to the lower "loud" levels.  I'm at a loss as to what to do next. 

    Thanks jared,
    I'm still dealing with this issue through Apple. Some time after I posted this, I contacted Apple again. They did start a case up for me, as I was experiencing the same behavior on two different machines, with two different versions of Windows.
    So far it remains unsolved. I've logged iClouds for Windows on my desktop, which is brand new, then logged for awhile after completely uninstalling Norton Security Suite, depending on the Microsoft security for some time, and finally logged after I uninstalled iCloud for Windows, restarted, installed a clean download, and connected using a completely different test account, which Apple set up for me. None of this made any difference. Looking at the logs, it seems every 10 minutes, iCloudServices.exe creates a new TCP connection to confirm I'm using less than 5GB on iCloud, (which I am by a good margin, using less than 2GB), it seems this connection is not closed, and when the next iteration rolls around 10 minutes later, a new TCP connection is created. I come very close to having 6 TCP connections created per hour, until I restart my computer. This works out to... 6 x 24 = 144/day.
    Perhaps the article you posted will shed some further light on this. I'm thinking seeing the state of the connection through netstats, at the least, could help.
    For the last week, I've been putting a hold on further logging, as Apple wants me to create a new user account on one of my computers, install iCloud for Windows there, and log it running in the other account. This however basically means I cannot use my computer for a fair number of hours, and I've been busy enough with work the past week that I haven't the time or energy to afford to set this up and run it. I've had need of my computers too much for the past week.

  • Had it with Dell, just ordered a Mac Mini

    For a number of reasons (that are so boring it will likely kill anyone who reads them so I won't post them here) I am going to throw my 6 month old top of the line Dell XPS in the pool.
    I just ordered a Mac Mini and I can't tell you how happy I am. However I was wondering if there is anything I should expect, we warned of when I make the conversion.
    Are there any problems I should expect?
    How hard is it to get my "Stuff" from a pc to a Mac?
    Will I be able to read/use my excel and word files?
    Will the Mac work with my Dell monitor? It's a pretty nice monitor 27" inch monitor, and besides the fact that it has the Dell name on it there's nothing wrong with it. I've seen a couple of posts here that people are unable to connect the Mac to a TV through an HDMI port.
    After getting the iPhone I knew that I had to make the move to Apple and I can't wait. Any info would be appreciated.

    Welcome!
    Most word processing and spreadsheet and photo files could be easily moved by putting them on an inexpensive USB "thumb" or "flash" drive. That's how I would transfer them. Or you could burn them to a CD or DVD on your DELL.
    Your Mini should have a trial version of Mac MS Office 2004. It should be able to open most of your PC files, depending on how you saved them. MS will be coming out with a newer Mac version early next year.
    A free option that would open just about all of them (and more than Office 2004 can) is NeoOffice ( http://neooffice.org ). That's what I use.
    If your Dell monitor has a VGA or DVI port it should work fine, unless it requires a Dual Link card to drive it. What model is your monitor?
    The new Minis now come with 1 Gig of RAM which is adequate for OK performance. If you ordered 2 Gig, multi-tasking will be snappier.

  • I have just had an iPad mini but all my messages are coming through on my iPad and iPhone how can I stop this happening

    I have just had an iPod mini but my messages are coming through on my iPad and my iPhone how can I stop this happening ? Do I need to reset my iPad ?

    To prevent messages from reaching both devices you can turn off Messages on the device you do not want to receive messages but keep Messages on on the device you do want to receive Messages.
    You might also look at this option for both devices.
    Settings > Messages > Send and Receive > review the a riotous choices for how you can e reached and select the ones that are most appropriate for you and the device you are setting.

  • I just replaced my hard drive on my imac and now when i turn the computer on the fan is running and slowly gets louder and louder. how do i turn it off?

    thanks.

    If your machine was made after 2009 you probably installed th wrong HD. Beginning in 2009 Apple began using HD's that had an integrated fan sensor. If you did not use one of these drives then that is the problem. You should contact OWC (www.macsales.com) or visit your local AASP and they will help you select the correct HD to use.
