Connecting bluetooth keyboard that is used with imac to macbook
is it possible to connect my wireless keyboard and mighty mouse to my macbook when the wireless keyboard and mouse have been paired with my imac? if not, how do i reset the keyboard and mouse to be recognized with my macbook?
Sure. Just pair the keyboard and mouse to the MacBook using the Bluetooth Setup Assistant, just like you did when you got the iMac.

Is there a bluetooth keyboard that is compatibile with the iPod Touch 5th gen?
Is there a bluetooth keyboard of any type that can be used with the iPod Touch 5th generation? Or any type of wireless keyboard for that matter?

I have an Apple wireless keyboard that I use with my iPad 2. Does it work with the iPad 3?
I have an Apple wireless keyboard synced to my iPad 2. Can sync this same keyboard be used with my iPad 3? If so, what are the syncing instructions?
Assuming you are talking about the aluminium keyboard the answer is yes. I had some problems trying to get my iPad 2/keyboard combo to 'forget' their connection but one complete the keyboard connected to my iPad 3.

I updated to OSX vs. 10.8.5 sent out by Apple on Oct 4,2013. My wireless
Apple keyboard is no longer paired to my imac and at the same time I noted that the keyboard on my ipad2 no longer exists. At first I thought it was an icloud issue but am wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem.I downloaded 10.8.5 Supplementary and this time there was a picture of my keyboard with the suggestion that I power it on, which I did many times. Finally re-booted my imac and shut down BlueTooth on my ipad. I now have a keyboard back on the ipad and my wireless keyboard on the imac is working.

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

On imac 10.6.8 using current version of Aperture. How can I access the Aperture Library on my external hard drive that I use with time machine for backup? I can only access the application but not the library..
Go into Time Machine (the program not the bundle on the extrnal disk) and using Time Machine's browser go to the Folder where the library lives. You could look in the library bundle in Time Machine but that won't really tell you much,
If you want to make sure it truely has backed up your library you will need to restore it and open the restored library with Aperture.
If all this still has you confused you need to read up on Time Machine in order to get a feel for how it works, for what it is doing and for how to restore files from it. -
Trying to get the sound working again on my ipad 2. I have a Logitech keyboard case I use with my ipad 2. Last night the sound quit but I don't know why. I've tried everything and can't get the sound back again. Help!
HI there,
There are a couple things you can try. The first thing I would recommend is resetting all settings by going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. If that doesn't work, take a look at the article below for additional troubleshooting steps.
Note: The article title impies that it is for iPhones, but the troubleshooting steps are still aplicable to iPads.

I have an existing ipod that I use with my mac. I am trying to connect an additional ipod to it but when I try and register, it just brings up the existing info. I don't want to lose the original info or library - just create new for this device. Pls help...
We are starting from the beginning like its a new ipod starts out asking language, country,location services,choose a network,and when we get to "setup ipod touch " there are 3 options 1..setup as new ipod, 2.restore from ipod backup 3 restore from itunes backup and when we hit setup as new ipod and click next it comes up with sign in with apple id or create a free apple id we clicked create a free apple id....then comes up with bday,1st name last name, use your current email address, get a free icloud email address or change email address and THIS is where we have problems....if we hit change email address it means that sis's stuff goes under his name and moves all her stuff to this older ipod which the brother does not want. sorry this is so long but its the only way I knew to do it.

DVI KVM switch to use with iMac and Cinema Display
I currently have a 20" iMac that I use with a 20" Cinema Display. I'd like to share the Cinema display between the iMac and a Dell computer. Assuming this can be done, are there any recommendations for a DVI-KVM switch? Most important is no loss in video quality when the Cinema display is used with the iMac. The Dell is seldom used and even a straight DVI switch without mouse and keyboard sharing would be OK.
20" Intel iMac + Cinema Display + Sony HDR-HC7 HD camera Mac OS X (10.4.8) All tools, no talent!I am also trying to link a Mac Mini and a HP PC with an nVidia FX5500 graphics card via a KVM switch. The mini works fine but the PC does not sync up and the screen is blank and the little white light on the lower right is blinking.
Any news on your question would be appreciated

Want to sync iphone to my itunes account that I use with my ipod
I have recently purchased an iphone 4S and when i switched it on for the first time it came up with a set-up screen. One of the options was to set it up as a new iphone (new apple ID and password) or to restore from an itunes back-up. I would like to sync it to my itunes account that I use with my ipod but my laptop is being repaired. Which option should I choose? - Can I set it up as new iphone (ie new apple ID) and then sync it to my itunes account later or do I need to wait and connect it to my laptop? It wont let me do anything with the phone until I have finished the set-up..
Thanks!Do not set it up with a new Apple ID. You can set up as a new phone but with your old Apple ID. Purchases are specific to an Apple ID.

I have an older Airport Extreme (disc shaped) that we use with my wife's PowerBook (OS 10.5.8) and my MacBook Pro (OS 10.9.4). We currently only have Airport Utility on her Mac, but I want to upgrade the utility so I can use it on mine. Which version of the utility will work on my MacBook, and still control the older Airport Extreme?
if I update the Airport to the latest version, and "control" it with my MacBook Pro, will the older G4 still be able to use the signal from the new Airport?
Yes. Your G4 shouldn't have any difficulty connecting to a Wi-Fi network provided by the latest 802.11ac AirPorts as they support the earlier radio modes that the G4 uses. -
Fastest and best external hard disks for video use with Imac?
What is the fastest and best external hard disks for video use with Imac (I believe it is currently not possible to use Esata on the Imac).
For DVCam. HDV etc, I'm a fan of the G-raid drives. From personal experience they
are very solid performers. I only had one issue with a new drive that was replaced
next day. They are not the cheapest drives to be found but the build quality
is excellent. Check out:

Looking for a starter keyboard recommendation for use with Garageband
I've got a new iMac running Lion. I'm looking for a keyboard that will work with Garageband that I can buy for as little as possible but will work and be decent. Looking at the Apple Store, I see three that could fit in my price range, the M-Audio Keystation Mini 32, the M-Audio Key Studio 49 USB-Midi, and the Akai Professional LPK25 Laptop. I'd appreciate any feedback about these.
Good, good, and good!
M-Audio in particular makes great "bang for the buck" controllers.
If you spend more, you get a better physical keyboard, which can be more satisfying to play. But for budget models, hard to beat those, particularly the m-audio.
good site to check gear out:
