Can an iPad Air Wi-Fi be updated to Wi-Fi Cellular?
I bought an iPad Air and didn't think I needed cellular. I now find that I need it. Can an iPad Air Wi-Fi be updated to Wi-Fi Cellular?
No, it can't. If you bought the iPad from Apple within the last fourteen calendar days, you can return it and then buy the Cellular version. If you bought from a dealer, you'd have to check with that dealer about a return.
If you're beyond the return period, then other than selling the iPad you have now, your options are to see if any of the carriers servicing your region offer a MiFi device, basically a portable WiFi-to-cell router, or you can tether through a cellphone, if you have one that offers that service.

Can my iPad air connect with the blue tooth on my iphone5?
Can the iPad air connect to iPhone5 blue tooth?
If you turn on home sharing on your iPad (Settings > Music) with the same account, and it's connected to the same network as your Mac, then you should get a 'shared' option at the bottom of the Music app (possibly via a More button) - tapping on that and selecting your Mac should let see your Mac's library (via the Playlists, Artists, Songs etc tabs at the bottom of the Music app) and be able to stream its content to your iPad

I dropped my 17" macbook pro and the screen is broken. Can I still use it with an external monitor? When I plugged it into a monitor I had used it with before, I'm not able to see anything on the macbook screen to control it. It came on but I just got the blue screen with nothing else after typing in my password. (Didn't see the password form just assumed it was there somewhere and it did go from space to blue screen but no desktop icons, files, dock strip at top or anything else, just blank blue screen) so I can't access the system preferences.
Or can I / or how do I, transfer hard drive files to my mac mini? If not salvageable as is can I pull out the hard drive and make it an external harddrive? In otherwords is anything salvageable? It seems it's coming on I just can't access anything. BTW I was told it would cost aprox $1000 to replace the screen! I paid almost $4000 for this thing and it was running great - makes me sick to lose it!I'd like to promise you that everything will be fine if you just get the monitor going - but it's hard to know what the hardware damage might be. It might be the monitor, or the damage might be greater.
Your best solution would be visit your local Apple Store and let them know what your situation is. They have access to diagnostics you don't, and they might be able to the best way to save your data and keep you computing. It's still not covered, but they can tell you what your current options are.
Um, you might consider investing in a backup drive.
And there other repair options, too. Powerbook Medic http://www.powerbookmedic.com/xcart1/pages.php?pageid=67 offers reliable repairs, and quotes prices well under Apple's. -
If i create a partition for Windows 7, and boot up in Windows using Boot Camp, can I still access the files from the Mac partition (Photo's Music etc.)
JDFitch wrote:
Ok Great,
Will installing Boot Camp drivers allow me to both read and write to the OS X Volume from windows?
This is important as if it will it means i can make the windows partition a lot smaller and keep all my files on the OS X partition which would be preferable.
Jon
No, OSX will be read only (from Windows) and vice versa. (you can install 3rd party utilities on either or both partitions, to make read/write possible) -
Can't preview my InDesign files on my Mac
Can't preview my InDesign files on my Mac using QuickLook – just moved up to Adobe CC on Yosemite from CS6 on Mountain Lion – anyone else having similar problems? It's a real pain when you've got thousands of files to search through
You may be using ArtView or SneakPeek from Codeline for providing QuickLook previews. I believe that the previews broke in the last Yosemite update 10.10.2. There's a line at the top of the Codeline website that suggests that an update is coming.

"See administrator" error with Mac mini airport card
Help, please. My Mac mini has an airport card installed. I got a new cable modem with a wireless N router (combo cable modem plus wireless N router) and I went to wirelessly connect my Mac mini's airport card to it.
I guess I typed the wireless router's password in wrong too many times or something, because suddenly I received the following airport error message on my Mac when trying to join the network (during the "The network so-and-so requires a WPA password" phase):
"See administrator."
It will not let me connect to my wireless network, even though my Macbook, my iPad, and my Roku player are connected to this wireless router/combination cable modem just fine. The Mac mini is connected to it through Ethernet.
Also, with my previous set-up, a wireless router (a Belkin N router) combined with a cable modem from my ISP, the Mac mini was connected at the same time both wired (Ethernet) and wirelessly (airport).
So I cannot figure out what is wrong and I cannot figure out how to clear this message.
I have already tried a solution that I found here which is indirectly related:
http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20060318124936642
because yesterday I was also getting a System keychain error but I can't seem to reproduce that at the moment. I must have cleared that one, but I still can't access my wireless network through the Mac mini.
I am locked out of my wireless network on my Mac mini even though I have full administrative rights on my Mac mini.
Can anyone help me figure out this conundrum? Thank you.I did find some keychain system files in Library/Keychain.
But in trying to access items in my Keychain Access, I get a message from Keychain Access stating, "Keychain Access wants to use your confidential information stored in "(name of wireless network)" in your keychain. To allow this, entre the "login" keychain password."
I then enter every password known to mankind and it doesn't accept any of them. This is me trying to access an Airport password that is stored in the "login" area in my Keychain Access. I do not know what the mysterious "login" Keychain password is.
Anyway, to go back to the main issue, I am locked out of my wireless network and get the mysterious "see administrator" error. That is the main error message to focus on. Thank you. -

Will it work if I connect via usb instead of firewire?
No. There is no "USB Target Disk Mode".
Just so we're clear, when you start your Mac mini in FireWire Target Disk Mode (TDM - holding T on startup), do you see a FireWire icon on the Mac mini's display? IIRC, it's not required that the Mac mini be connected to a display for TDM, but it would help diagnose whether or not the mini is actually starting in this mode. -
my wife and i both have an itunes library installed on to our separate pc's, we are now de-commissioning the pc's and are moving over to a single mac mini, can we install both libraries on to the mac mini and run them as separate libraries?
graham218 wrote:

Generally YES.
It's possible to hold separate iTunes library's on a single machine.
Generate two new folders inside the Music folder of the Mini and name them differently; e.g. man and woman.
Copy your whole library into "man" and your wifes into "woman"
Go to sharing in the system settings of the Mini and share the Music folder in your network.
After copying the whole library's to the Mini you may point iTunes to the new location at startup by holding the option key (alt) at the keyboard.
iTunes will then ask you where the library is located.
Point it to the matching library on the Mini.
That's all.
Lupunus
PS ... If you both use only the Mini you have to setup a user account for each and just copy the whole library to the Music folder in particular.

How can I add a second display to my Mac Mini
How can I add a second display to my Mac Mini (mid 2011). HDTV and standard monitor working simultaneously.
True ... but that can be tricky.
Macs can only power so much, and only through approved/proper adapters.
Running two monitors off a single MDP-to-VGA adapter may not work, because Mac may not nicely exchange-talk the simultaneous signals.
There is an adapter that will convert a single minidisplayport to two VGA plugs, but that adapter is $100 instead of $30 (for the single) because it has special hardware in the adapter itself to manage the two signals sinultaneously.
Alternately ...
Running one through the minidisplayport and one through the HDMI port makes them two separate signals to be processed. -
HT4664 Can I use final cut pro X on " Mac mini" ?
Can I use final cut pro X on " Mac mini" ?
depending on what model: for sure yes, it does!
I did use FCPX on an old MacMini, c2d, 2.26GHz with 8GB Ram (using proxies made editing easy).
My actual work-horse is a MacMini i5, late 2012, 16GB Ram, plus some ext. usb3 drives = perfect for my needs! (costs vs. power)
I'm using two cheap 2.5" Toshiba 1TB usb3-drives, combined with MacOS' built-in DiskUtility as a Raid0 = 150mbps for under 100€ ... not professional (=raid0 contains a small risk of data loss), but again: best €-vs.-HP ratio -

I can't boot from OS install USB drive Mac Mini Model 1176
How I can't boot from OS install USB drive, Mac Mini Model 1176
Thank you Eustace Mendis for your answer.
I rebooted the Mac Mini holding the Option key down but it doesn't work. I used an USB drive with O.s 10.7 from Apple that I have used previuosly with other computers and I also tried with a CD install O.S 10.6
It seems that the Mac Mini can't recognize the keyboard inputs and I tried with 3 different keyboards but still didn't work.
I also reset the SMC and PRAM but I had no luck. Any clues?
