If you plug in an iPod that auto syncs to another library, you will get a pop up telling you it is synced to another library and do you want to instead sync it to this library. "Yes" *WILL ERASE* everything on the iPod. "NO" will leave everything on the iPod alone but you won't be able to do anything with the iPod on that library.
If you instead, change your iPod from Automatic update to Manual updating, then you can plug it into either computer and add stuff from either library to the iPod. Downside is that you have to do everything manually (adding to or removing from the iPod) and you won't get information transferred from the iPod back into the libraries like play count, ratings, etc.

Hi,
Delete the service books you see under Options -> Advanced Options -> Service Books and resend the new service books from the new Virgin Site.

Transferring albums from older iPod to newer Mini Mac

How can I transfer some albums from my wife’s old iPod 20 GB model A1059 to our newer Mini Mac. Most of the older albums were transfered to the new computer, but somehow I must have deleted many of the albums, which are still on the old iPod. How do I transfer those albums? I don’t want to mess up what I currently have in my iTunes. Any help or direction would be appreciated.

Hhi there Vince1942,
It sounds like you have media on your iPod that you want to transfer to your Mac mini. You can use this article to transfer your iTunes Store purchases over:
Re-download or transfer your iTunes Store purchases from an iPhone, iPad or iPod to a computer
Keep this in mind for media from other sources:
This feature works only for content bought from the iTunes Store. Any items that you imported from audio CDs or received from other sources won't copy from your device to the iTunes library. However, all podcasts from your device's Podcasts app and copies of all PDFs and books from your device's iBooks app will transfer to the computer. Learn how to transfer media to your iTunes library.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

How do i import my photo stream from my iPhone 6 to my new mini-mac?

I have new mini-mac I have set up and I would like to import all of my photos from my iPhone 6. Any help is appreciated.

iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
That will get photos from your Camera Roll album.
For photos synced to the device you need a third-party app like PhoneView or TouchCopy
If you turn on PhotoStream in iPhoto you will get the last 30 days of PhotoStream photos

I have an existing mini mac and 4 tb external drive.
My iTunes library exists on the external drive under /itunes...
I have purchased a new mini mac and I want to leave the library where it is on the external drive but move to new mini mac and have it show as it did on the old mini mac..
what do i need to do ?
I have found multitude of articles about moving itunes to external drive or other similar things but I don't want to move itunes from the external drive, just change mini mac machines and have everything in itunes the same..
Thanks

I had already tried that one and got this...
below is screen shot of what is on the new mac mini
and what is on the external drive now connected to the new mac mini..
There are no media files on the mac mini just the library files and on external just media files..
Do I need to copy anything over from the old mac mini ? xml files ? .. the itunes folder on old mini is about 840mb in size which looks to have artwork ect ? .. I am fairly computer literate, but this one has me stumped.. ?
thanks for help

HT1766 How do I back up my iphone5 to my ICloud account, when my restrictions password. My restrictions pass code has my icloud a account greyed out? Can i backup to a wd external harddrive, or try to backup to a new mini-mac, i jUst purchased?

How do I back up my iphone5 to my ICloud account, whqen iI have forgot my restrictions password. My restrictions pass code has my icloud a account greyed out? Can i backup to a wd external harddrive, or try to backup to a new mini-mac, I just purchased yesterday? This is my first iMac and IPhone5, so i am kinda out on my own, and can use some pointers!! My phone is full of pictures, and will not download anything, until i store my pictures somewhere!!

If you don't remember your restrictions passcode, you will have to force the phone into recovery mode and restore it using iTunes. Do NOT restore your backup. The restrictions passcode is part of the backup.
Everything on the phone will be lost.
You can extract the photos from the camera roll the same way you would from any other digital camera. Having a restriction passcode set should not prevent that. do that before you put the phone in recovery mode and restore it.

Formatting will erase the drive.
You need to copy the photo's to either your old computer, the Mac Mini or to a new external drive and then decide what to do with your existing external drive.
For example: You could use one External drive for Photo's and one external drive for Time Machine to backup both your Mac Mini and the Photo drive.

I have a brand new mini mac and a new apple TV. Both have been updated and can see my movies in itunes. I can use Netflix and stream music. I have tried to use my old laptop and it streams video fine. But my new computer only see a spinning circle.

Mail not working in new mini mac

i got new mini mac and mail not working. i get this message.
You have Mail version 4.2 (1078/1084). It can’t be used on Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 (Build 10K549). For more information, click the Help button.
dont know what to do
thanks

Should be Mail 4.5. With Spotlight, check to see if you have more than one version of the Mail app onboard. Also, make sure that there is one at the root level of the Applications folder, and that it is namely simply Mail before applying the Combo.

Ipod and new mini mac

I just got a new Mini Mac (intel) and want to upload my iPod to my new computer, the old one died:-( what's a easy (if there is) way? of course with i tunes.
thanks

Do you mean as in copying all of your music off of your iPod and onto the Mini? You'll need to buy special software to do that I think. Haven't had any experience myself (yet), but that's my understanding of it. Either that or you could try turning on disc mode and drag and drop your files that way, but again, haven't personally tried it (yet).

Just got a new mini mac says it has 10.8.1 loaded saw 8.10.2 but when i down loaded it says it can't be installed on my unit. Why?

Why can't my new mini mac up date to 10.8.2? It came with 10.8.1 and it allowed me to down load the package but will not install it come up with an error msg
something about the drives .

Did you use 'Software Update' to get the 10.8.2 update that is specific to the Late 2012 Mac mini?
If it is not being displayed, you may need to wait a few hours to use 'Software Update' to get this update, as the update that you need is currently not in the 'Support', 'Downloads' section of the Apple website.
This is the link to the update in the 'Support', 'Downloads' section of the Apple website, if you want to check back later: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1603.

Those specifications are not for the "last" mac mini, but for the mid-2011 Mac Mini: Macmini5,2.
While that model came with Lion and could not be downgraded to Snow Leopard out of the box, look for the work done by newfoundglory https://discussions.apple.com/people/newfoundglory in this thread on how to accomplish an install of Snow Leopard that will allow that model of Mac Mini to boot into Snow Leopard, if it is that important to you:

PLEASE SOMEONE KNOWS HOW A BLOCKED CD IN MINIMAC CD DRIVER CAN BE EJECTED? BECAUSE FINDER COUDN'T EJECT THE CD, HOW SHOLD I OPERATE TO EJECT THE CD WITHOUT DAMAGING THE MINIMAC?

Dear Mendel the option;
First, hold the mouse or trackpad while your Mac mini is starting. By doing this, you will force your Mac to eject the DVD.
If it doesn't work, hold Command and S keys while your computer is starting, and once OS X has started up, type:;; dosen't work because i use a wireless mouses o for any operation and command it should be first mouse working and for that porpose the mac should be completly open or started;in order to be aible to use the mouse.
Thank you againe please another alternative if any is higly appreciated ?by the way if is possible to open manualy the mini mac and to take it out from driver the nasty CD?
