Hello, from across the Chesapeake Bay!
Check Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Displays.
Note Macs do not run iOS, only iPads, iPod Touch, and iPhones do.

I have music that is playing within the iTunes program, but not on my iPod. How can I fix this?
I have music that is playing within the iTunes program, but not on my iPod. How can I fix this?
Skipping songs
The iPod seems to fail to play all of the occasional track that iTunes, and indeed other PMPs, are happy to play. There is probably some minor technical error in the internal structure of the file which is normally ignored by other playback software but causes the Classic to bail out.
If you use Windows you may like to try scanning the files with MP3Validator which can find & fix some internal MP3 errors.
Some users have also suggested that completely removing all id3 tags and then replacing the information can be a solution. This can be achieved in iTunes by selecting an affected track, right/control clicking and using the option Convert id3 tags> None. Since some files may mistakenly have more than one tag you may need to repeat this action. Once you have confirmed that no tag is present you can replace the tag information using Convert id3 tags > V2.3 (I believe it is recommended to avoid using V2.4).
Personally I have found files for which these solutions don't work. In this case the workaround is either to re-rip the tracks or get iTunes to re-encode the file, e.g.convert AAC to MP3 or vice versa and sync the newly encoded file to the iPod instead. Because transcoding will cause a loss of fidelity you should keep your original file so that if a future iPod firmware resolves this issue you can put your original files back onto the iPod.

I am not able to install my 'Complete National Geographic' cd on my Mac mini which runs Lion OS. The error message I get says 'Can't open installer as classic environment is no longer supported' can some one suggest a solution.
It means the software is PowerPC code, which is no longer supported in Lion. Your choices are to go back to Snow Leopard, run Snow Leopard Server in a virtual machine within Lion, see if the vendor has an updated version of National Geographic that will run on an Intel Mac, or run the software on an older Mac separately.

In text or email, the keyboard will not come up. I have to reset phone or turn it off to get started again. How can i fix this issue?
Hello Jennings Castle,
It seems your iPhone is slowing down and not responding frequently. To rectify this issue you may want to consider performing a restore on the device, and then restoring your data from a backup via iCloud or iTunes.
If the issue persists after restoring your backup, you would then want to consider restoring the device and setting it up as new. Below I have linked to article which offers guidance on both of these restore methods:
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups - Apple Support

I have to reload a webpage to make a Flash Object in IE7 WinXP SP3. How can i fix this problem?
Hello:
When I want to navigate a webpage that contains a flash object, the Internet Explorer show the icon that the page contains an error, if I relod the page, the page now doesn't show the error and the Flash objects work well. This occurs recently, some weeks ago, I didn't have that problem. How can I fix this problem?
I'm using Win XP SP3, IE8 and Flash 14.0.0.145
I tried to uninstall the 14 version and installed the 13 version but the problem persists.All new keyboards need Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and above for full functionality.
Rather short-sighted of Apple perhaps, but that seems to be a trend these days.
I'm afraid the only fix is to upgrade to SL. Personaly, I'd take it back and get a refund and seek an older keyboard or a third-party one elsewhere. -
I have a 2012 mac mini with a mini toss link to toss link cable connected to an a/v reciever (Sunfire, grand theater 3) capable of dolby digital and dts. I am not getting 5.1 digital audio only stereo audio. Midi setup format 48000 hz 2ch-16 bit integer. In speaker configuration stereo is the only option all others are grayed out. How can I get this to work? Please help.
You should set up as 24bit integer. Toslink does not support
multi-channel encoded over a 16bit link. Just not enough
bits available. -
when I send an iMessage to other's who have iMessage my e-mail adress pop's up instead of my name when they recieve my text.. How can I fix that?
They would have to have your name in their contacts and then assign your email address to your contact. It's similar to receiving a regular text message from a phone number you do not have saved in your contacts; their phone number will show up instead of their name, but once you add them to your contacts their name will show up.

When I send an email to someone or reply to them it sends it under my mother's name. How can i fix this?
It may be that you have more than one outgoing mail account, and you're sending from the wrong one. From the Mail menu bar, select
Mail ▹ Preferences...
The Mail preference dialog opens. Select the Composing tab from the row of icons at the top. From the menu labeled
Send new messages from:
choose
Account of selected mailbox
Note that this setting may have no effect if you start a new message while a VIP or smart mailbox is selected in the mailbox list. Those are saved searches, not actual mailboxes.
If the problem remains, select the Accounts tab in the preference dialog, then select the affected account in the list on the left.
In the Account Information pane, select the correct server in the menu labeled
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
If there's only one server in the menu, select
Edit SMTP Server List...
and add a new server with the correct settings. If you're not sure how to do that, try the Mail Settings Lookup.
Another possibility is that the wrong card in your address book is selected as yours. Select your card in the Contacts application. Then select
Card ▹ Make This My Card
from the menu bar. -

Can I connect a 2006 Mac Mini 1.8 Ghz Intel to a Sony KDL40V5100 TV? How?
I have searched through endless discussions here with posts complaining about problems getting a Mac Mini to properly display on Sony and other brands of flat screen LCD and Plasma HDTVs in full 1080p resolution by hooking it up to the TV using a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter cord hooked from the Mac Mini into an HDMI input on the TV. I want to buy a Sony KDL40V5100 40 inch LCD HDTV and get this connector to hook it into one of the TV's HDMI inputs, but have read so many posts here saying it won't work right. And in responses to these posts, I have read all the suggestions to fix these problems, ranging from using a third-party program to set the Mac to a specific resolution lower than the 1920 x 1080 (1080p) resolution to using both a mini-DVI to DVI connector and a DVI to HDMI to hook it into, which then could then be input into the TV, to changing display preferences on the Mac to dual or mirrored display status to setting the TV to a different input. I am very worried that if I buy this expensive TV, it will not display my Mac Mini properly on the Sony LCD TV. Is it GUARANTEED to work or not, and if yes, what settings need to be configured on which device(s)? I have also read posts here with complaints that the latest OS X "Leopard" update ruined the display's proper functioning status on the flat screen for many users. Can someone please help me get to the bottom of all this before I purchase the TV?
A 2006 mini doesn't use the mini-DVI port, so any issues with the mini-DVI adapter should be ignored. A DVI to HDMI cable will provide the correct signal just fine.
I see that your signature says you are running 10.4.11 (Tiger), so unless you've upgraded or plan to upgrade to 10.5 (Leopard) you need not consider the potential issue of resolutions not offered correctly in Leopard.
If you are concerned about the possible problems of the desktop displaying correctly, you should take your mini and the DVI to HDMI cable (which you will need to have in any case) to a store where the TV is being sold and ask to plug it in and test it. Any store worth shopping in will agree for a purchase that substantial. You can then see if overscan is handled correctly so the desktop will fit properly on the screen. -
I know Apple doesn't like us to crack the case, but if I want to upgrade to mavericks, I need 2Gig memory. I have plenty of available space on my hard drive.
First if you have not already done so, check to see if your Mac Mini model meets the requirements...?
see > Apple - OS X Mavericks - Read the technical specifications.
Then for RAM, go to > Memory, Drives, Free Installation Guides for Apple Mac mini and select your model.
In addition to the OWC guides, go to > Mac Mini Repair - iFixit, again select your model and click on the RAM guide. -
i own a mac pro but i cant buy any apple software to my mac because they dont accept my credit card
You appear to have boght a Mac and taken it to a country with no iTunes/Mac App Store. So there is nowhere for you to buy. You must buy from the stores for your country and there isn't one that I can find.

- If you have a 2G iPod those can ony go to 4.2.1 so the crrent verion of Skype will not install.
- Do y have a version of Skyupe on your computer or in a computer backup? If yu do they you can delete the on the iPod and reinstall the app vis syncing with iTunes.
- If you do not have a copy, then delete the an Skype from iTunes on your computer and transfer iTune spurchases to the computer. this copy the Skhpe app to the computer/iTunes
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Then delete the App from the iPod and sync the app back to the iPod.
- Then try try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

Since Apple's data base has been accessed by burglars, why can't Apple track serial numbers?
If Apple's data base is accessed by people like this, why can't the same data base be used to track ownership? MOst Apple users sign on to itunes and share their system information. Would it not make sense to share the serial numbers with a report
