If they are the old clear globe speakers that worked with old G4 models, then no.

Can I use my old Apple remote on my new Mac

I just replaced my old iMac with a new 27" one. My old Mac had one of those old Apple remote controls that used a magnet to attach to the side of my machine. Can I use it on my new computer?
The only thing I did was pause & restart my iTunes.

If you want to control your new iMac remotely and you own a mobile iDevice, there are remote apps you can use on both your iMac and iDevice.
These apps work over Wifi and/or Bluetooth.
Apple has its own remote app simply called Remote.
Another, which I use and is very comprehensive remote app, is called Rowmote Pro by a developer called Regular & Rhythm.
If you want complete and total remote control access to your Mac, look at Splashtop Remote.
There is also a dedicated WifI and/or Bluetooth remote for Macs and iDevices by a company called Satechi.
Found here.

How can I use the old Apple TV with new iTunes? It tells me to input a code in iTunes but iTunes no longer has a spot to input this code to allow sync. I can access the iTunes Store fine, just none of my Library

Can I use the old power supply with the new unit?

I have a second generation Apple TV. When I install the new unit next week can I use the old power supply with the new one and the new power supply with the old one? This would save some messing with cords behind the units.

Hello:
I would definitely not try that..... The power supplies may be compatible - or may not be compatible. I think messing with cables is a small price to pay for not potentially frying a new device.

Can i use my old IPOD dock with the new G5 IPOD?

Can i use my old IPOD dock with the new G5 IPOD?

That's really good to know. I thought because it was a different thickness you wouldn't be able to, and the dock adaptor that comes with the new iPods doesn't fit into the old Photo dock.
Do you know if you can use the charger that came with the old Photo iPods? You can plug straight into the power socket, but the cable that goes into the charger from the iPod is the firewire cable, so I was thinking maybe it wouldn't work, and I don't want to try it in case I short out my iPod or something!

Using An ASD LCD display with a new Mac Mini

I want to utilize a 17" Apple Studio Display with my new Mac Mini.
Does HDMI support the 35-pin Apple Display Connector (ADC)?
It would require an adapter with female 35-pin on one side and a male HDMI (DVI) on the other. The Apple DVI to ADC adapter doesn't work with the Mac Mini HDMI port.
If two adapters are needed they must have the correct gender connections.
Thanks.

Your correct, you would need an Apple DVI to ADC adapter, And ether mini display port to DVI OR HDMI to DVI adapter. (just a question of witch port you want to use)
Apple DVI to ADC adapter when they were first released cost about 120; now they're kind of rare and harder to find. Online they can go for 200 dollars. so 120 to 200 dollars to make your display work; and displays don't last for ever they have parts that will break down. Older displays have a light bulb inside them; witch burn out just like all the other light bulbs in your house.
Also DVI to ADC adapters can some times give you blurry images and or text.
For 120 dollars you can buy a generic brand 19" LCD. That 19" LCD would have better contrast ratio, brightness, and refresh rate then the old 17" monitor. (and it would have a warranty) Or for 200 dollars you could buy 23" monitor.

Is it possible to use my iMac G5 Monitor with my Intel Mac Mini

Hello,
I have an iMac G5, and just received a new Mac Mini for my birthday. I don't have any display yet for the Mac Mini, so I would like to know if it's possible to link my Mac Mini to my iMac G5 so I can run the Mac Mini in my iMac Monitor ?
If there's a way to do it, can it be done even when I'm running Windows (PC) on my Mac Mini ?
Thanks

Hello,
Generally, no, that is not something that would work well. There is no video input on your iMac. So, you would have to use an adapter.
You can read a little bit about this here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3249369&#3249369
That discussion is regarding a XBox. But, the principle and options would be the same.
The Hybrid adapter that is discussed there would be the best option for you in terms of hardware solutions. But, you would need the appropriate cables to connect from the Mac Mini to the Elgato Hybrid and then to your PowerBook (some of which may come with the adapter).
As for a network and software solution, take a look at this discussion for a recommendation and description of a possible method:

I hope this helps.

Using ADC Monitor with the new Mac Mini

My husband has an Apple monitor with an ADC connection. I would like to purchase the new Mac Mini, but would like to use his current monitor. I know there is an ADC to DVI adapter, but the new Mac Mini uses the Mini Display...could I use yet another adapter? I am trying to save money, but don't want to the display quality to be really poor. Space is not an issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have located that, but my concern is the DVI connection to the Mini Display connection on the Mac Mini. My understanding is that they are different.

Will any of my old displays work with the new Mac Mini

I am thinking of getting a new Mac Mini.     What I need to know is if any of the monitor/displays I have here can bem used.
I have two old video monitors I used to used with my old mac mini (Samsung Symc Master 770 and old little Princeton - VL158) , a
n early 2006 iMac 20" (which I don't think I could use as a monitor from what I read) and an little Samsung TV with USB and HDMI connectors.,
Can I use any of these?
Need new connector cords?   Mini-DVI to VGA adapter?
Thanks

I am a writer though and a photographer (strictly point and shoot) for a couple of orgs. I just don't want o run out of space. And I hate!! slow response time.
Is the i5 adequate as well?
Glad to have found an Apple guru so quickly. May very well buc you more in the future.

How to connect old Apple Cinema Display to new Mac Mini?

Hello,
I'm considering replacing an old Mac Mini with the new model, but I intend to keep on using my old Apple Cinema Display 20" with it. But i'm having some trouble finding the right conversor (it seems there isn't any from Apple...)
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

If by "old" apple cinema the OP is referring to the aluminum displays of the later mac models, then yes, that's a no-brainer, the problem is that if the OP is referring to the "real" old apple cinema displays, which have a DVI-type connection with power included on the same cable, like the displays the former Mac G4 or G5 had, then he needs a ADP to DVI port, which in most cases it cost more than the actual monitor itself.. I guess the OP needs to specify what does it mean by old apple displays or throw in a link to an image..

Having trouble using a Samsung LCD HDTV with my new mac mini...help?!

I have a brand new mac mini running snow leopard. I am trying to use a samsung HDTV (1080i). I've got the display connected and it is working but the font on the windows is not very crisp at all...it is actually hard to read. I've adjusted the resolution in my settings to all the different options. When I use the 720p option the font gets a little better but the windows are HUGE, when I use 1080i the windows shrink to the correct size but the font gets worse. Anyone have any ideas?

Be sure to designate the HDMI input on the Samsung TV as a 'computer' source. This seems to help how it presents the image on the TV. The other thing to adjust is the font smoothing settings, via System Preferences > Appearance.

Can I use the old MagSafe connector with the new MBP

I must say that I like the new style MagSafe connector that came with my new MBP. I would like to get an extra to leave in another room, but I'm not hot to pay $79 to Apple for one. I saw an 85 Watt old style connector on eBay for $35. Would the old style work on my new MBP? I don't want to screw it up just to save $44, but if it will work, why buy the $79 unit.
Basically, it would only be serving duty while my MBP is connected to my Time Machine.

As long as it is healthy it will work, Macaby.
Be wary of second hand units that haven't been tested though. Quite a few that haven't been well treated develop weakening of the wires at the points where they enter either the magnetic "head" or the body of the power block. At best these are likely to fail prematurely. At worst they may cause sparks to fly!
OWC sell tested second hand units for a price somewhere in between the eBay "used" price and the cost of a new one, that might be worth a look.
Be wary of cheap third party imitations. The extra few dollars is a small price to pay to avoid the catastrophic consequences that can occur if a badly made power adaptor happens to decide to start a fire!

Can I replace my old Apple ID with my new iCloud email address?

For years, my Apple ID has been associated with an external email address. Now that iCould users are given an "@me.com" email address for free, I would like to use that as my new Apple ID.
When I try to edit my primary email address using these instructions, this is the message I get:
You cannot create an Apple ID using a MobileMe account. If this is your email address, it is also your Apple ID.
I can't really figure out what this means. Is my Apple ID is permanently bound to the external email address? Seems pretty silly that I wouldn't be able to associate my Apple ID with my iCloud email...

Think of your Apple ID that is bound to an external email address as an Anonymous Apple ID account. The email address can be changed to any other email address that is not an Apple ID, iCloud, MobileMe, Mac, etc. account. iCloud, MobileMe, Mac, etc. accounts are just Apple ID accounts in disguise. So the bottom line is no, but you can use both independantly.
