what does connecting iPad mini to my Mac Mini through Bluetooth do

There is nothing else you can do as regards the Mac. Bluetooth between a Mac and an iOS device works only for tethering so you can share the iOS device's cell connection. Otherwise, Bluetooth in an iPad is for connecting to peripherals such as headsets, in-car systems, and keyboards.

What does connecting my iPod touch to my iMac via BlueTooth do?

I connected my 3rd Gen iPod touch to my 27" iMac through bluetooth just for the fun of it, and I'm just wondering what difference it makes. Are there any features that I can use to utilise the connection. The only thing i noticed from glimpsing through the apps is the addition of accounts on the notes app. Other than that, I can't seem to find any other use.

That's unrelated to Bluetooth and did not occur as a result of you pairing the iPod touch and iMac.
Bluetooth in the iPod touch is for connecting headsets/headphones/speakers, keyboards, and some peer to peer games.

Can I connect my iMac to my mac mini??

I have the new 27 inch imac with thunderbolt, and I want to connect it to my new mac mini in my media closet. I was windering if there is a way to do this. The purpose of my mac mini is strictly as a media server, and all of my work and media are done on my imac and stored on external storage devices in my media closet. I want to be able to share my media and applications directly with the mac mini. The only monitor I have for the mac mini is the iMac itself. Can I not run the mac mini on the iMac??

you should be able to use the iMac's screen (27" model) with another computer, using DisplayPort.
I'm not sure what you mean by "sharing applications", that's not usually possible.

Which mac pc is good for iPad development in between mac mini or mac book pro

which mac pc is good for iPad development in between mac mini or mac book pro so give me details which is much more better for ios development

The best thing for iOS development is your imagination. Coming up with unique creative apps is what’s most important. I've had a mini since they first came out, and I think it's the best desktop around. However you may not want a desktop because you're more mobile when you work on apps. With the mini you can use a much bigger screen (I use a 80 inch) but the laptop has a slightly better processor (if you decide to pay extra for it). I'm learning app development also and a laptop would drive me crazy, but it's a personal choice, so you first need to decide where you are going to be while you're developing. If it’s at home or a office then the mini might be better. The mini and the macbook pro are both two incredible products. I don’t think you can make a wrong decision as far as which one handles app design better. They’re both great in that department.

Reminders on iCloud, my iPad mini, MacAir, and Mac mini all sync well. However my iPhone will not sync Reminders with iCloud. It appears to be setup identically to the iPad??

Reminders syncs well with my iPad mini, MacAir, and Mac mini. However my iPhone 5 Reminders does not. Items I enter on one of the devices show-up on iCloud and the other devices except for my iPhone 5. Vice versa if I enter a new item on my iPhone it does not show up on the other devices or iCloud. Essentially the same things happens when I complete an item. When I review how iCloud and Reminders is setup on the iPad and iPhone it appears to be the same.

First check that all your settings are correct, that reminders syncing (calendars on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the reminders you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device by tapping the icon with three lines in the top left corner of the screen, or the right side panel by clicking on the small triangle to the right of the word 'Reminders' in iCal on a computer), non iCloud reminders will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your reminders are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking reminders syncing (calendars syncing on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling reminders syncing.

Does anybody know if the new mac mini introduced today will do hd audio bitstream?

I'm very interested in the new mac mini that has been unveiled today. I planned to buy one in the past but didn't because it seems that it couldn't do bitstreaming for hd audio (true-hd and dts-hd for example).
As I plan to use it as an htpc with xmbc so this is a feature that is important for me. For what I heard, the last generation of mac mini couldn't not because of the hardware but of a driver issue in mac os x. So I was wondering if that still the case.
Thanks!

The previous model supported multi-channel audio via the HDMI but did not officially support HD audio.
However I seem to recall that XBMC for Mac had already managed to do this on the previous model Mac mini. For clarification since XBMC for Mac managed to do this it would appear the hardware already could do this but Apple have not provided built-in software support for this.
See http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/42798-hd-audio-codec-support/
I could not find a similar statement saying Plex itself supports HD Audio bit-streaming via HDMI.
With regards to the new Mac mini I do not expect there to be any change. That is OS X itself will not support this, Plex will still not support this but I would still expect XBMC for Mac to support this.
PS. The MacBluRayPlayer I feel also does not support this.

Can i connect my iMac to a mac mini (wirelessly) and control the mac mini display on my TV?

Can i connect my iMac to a mac mini (wirelessly) and control the mac mini display on my TV?

Look up "screen sharing" in help
You can control your mini (which I am assuming you are hooking to your TV) complete from your iMac.
After you set up screen sharing, you can go to the finder, under the "go" menu choose "Connect to server" and then browse. Choose your mac mini's name, and look for the "Screen Sharing" button.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Sharing.
Select the Screen Sharing checkbox.
To specify who can share your screen, select one of the following:
All users:
Select this if you want to allow any user with a user account on your computer to share your screen.
Only these users:
Select this if you want to restrict screen sharing to specific users.Click Add at the bottom of the Users list and select a user from Users & Groups (accounts you have set up in Users & Groups preferences), Network Users (users on your network), or your Address Book. Or click New Person and enter a name and password to create a sharing account. Then select that user from the list, and then click Select.
Click Computer Settings and set the following options:
Anyone may request permission to control screen:
Select this to allow anyone on your network to request to share your screen.
VNC viewers may control screen with password:
Select this and enter a password that VNC viewer applications can enter in order to control your screen.It’s recommended that you not set a password if you only share this computer’s screen using the built-in screen sharing viewer in Mac OS X.

HT1695 How do I link my iPad to my new Mac mini?

I cannot seem to link my iPad to my new Mac mini. My iPhone worked automatically but not my iPad.

Did you create a new iTunes account or update the old one ? If you updated the old account then you can tap on it in Settings > Store and log out of it and then log in with the updated version and it should get 'refreshed' on the iPad.
If you created a new account then you can still log out of the old account and log in with the new one, but any content bought/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that account (so only that account will be able to download its content or app updates).
