  • How do I delete an iPad from my Mac, like I never sync in the first place?

    How do I delete an iPad from my Mac, like I never sync in the first place?

    I have a pc, rather than a mac, but the process is the same from what i have read on the Apple website. 
    You can restore to original factory settings as ifyou never synced the ipad with a computer by going to settings >reset (last option on the menu) > erase all content and settings. 
    Youcan also do it by connecting your ipad to your computer and choosing toRestore it from the 'summary' menu (below the Update option).  I wasnot able to do it this way because it kept timing out with the iPadsoftware update, but it might work for you.
    These options may take a while if you have lots ofcontent but once it is done it will just as it was when you bought it,with factory settings.
    NB: Note that this process will erase all content, so if you have purchased apps, music etc, be sure to transfer your purchases first!
    This process has worked for me and I am now just syncing my ipad with my desktop instead of my laptop.
    Hope this helps.

  • Is it better to update the ipad with a mac mini vs a windows PC?

    I have an iPad 2 which i want to update to iOS 6.1.3 (from 4.3.3). I usually sync it with a mac mini running Snow Leopard 10.6.4 with iTunes 10 which will not allow me to update the iPad as iTunes 11 requires OS X 10.6.8. I am not in a position to update my mac mini.
    1) Can I use a PC running windows 7 with latest iTunes to update my iPad without any problems ?
    2) Will I be able to sync my updated iPad with my mac mini running iTunes 10 on OS X 10.6.4 ?
    Thanks for your inputs.

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

  • What is the best way to use wi-fi to transfer pdf files from an ipad to a mac mini, not using an internet, just wi-fi.

    If the Mac use Lion (10.7) you can use Airdrop for that.
    With Mac's not using Lion you may set up a computer to computer (ad hoc) connection.

  • How to record my voice by headphone on mac mini

    Hi all,
    How to record my voice by headphone on mac mini. The headphone have a microphone. It can record on window 7, but on mac mini, it's not working.
    I don't know why. Please help me.
    Thanks.

    Open Quicktime Player
    File Menu: New Audio Recording....
    However... if the headphone/microphone combination has two 3.5mm jack plugs (pink and green) then the microphone output (pink) is "mic.level" - which is TOO QUIET for the audio input on a Mac, which is expecting the much stronger "line.level" signal strength.
    Solutions: get a microphone pre-amplifier between the mic and the Mac (not cheap); or a different microphone with a USB interface.

  • How can I use two displays with my Mac Mini?

    Have you tried connecting one to the HDMI output, and another to the Thunderbolt port (with the appropriate Mini DisplayPort-to-other connection adapter as needed)?

  • Just made the pc to Mac jump. Can I connect my iPad to my Mac Mini via Bluetooth ...my current keyboard isn't connecting so I can't even get passed the password screen.

    Someone please help me connect my two devices together so that I don't have to purchase yet another item. Is there an app or something that would allow me to connect my Mac Mini to my iPad 2 wirelessly. I can't get passed the password screen because the wireless Keyboard will no longer connect to my Mac ...helllllppp .... I use it for both my iPad and my Mac mini....does that matter?

    If your iPad is close enough to your keyboard and Mini
    and if the iPad is merely in standby and not off, the
    connection to the iPad is still active.  Therefore, the
    keyboard will not connect to the Mini.
    If the iPad is far enough away to break the Bluetooth
    connection or you unpair from the iPad or you turn the
    iPad off, then the keyboard should connect just fine with the Mini.
    Most Bluetooth HID's (Human Interface Device) can only service
    one host at a time.  This is by design. 

  • How can I set a password on my Mac Mini so someone else cannot open it and read emails, etc.?

    How can I set a password on my Mac Mini?  Someone else is reading my emails.  I would like to be able to lock it so nothing on it could be seen without a password.  Is that possible?  How?

    So uncheck the automatic login after making sure you know your password and it will require a password on startup.
    You can also go into the security preferences and have the machine lock itself once the screensaver is activated. This is sometimes controlled from the screensaver preferences as well.
    You could also go nuts and activate multiple users where your name appears in the menu bar. When you walk away from the machine you can use that menu to take you to the "login window", effectively locking your machine.

  • How do i reformat my hard drive on mac mini late 2011 with yosemite before selling my mac

    how do i reformat my hard drive on mac mini late 2011 with yosemite before selling my mac

    You can't legally sell or give away that computer with Yosemite installed.
    Before you sell or give away your computer, in addition to the steps listed in this support article, take these steps:
    1. Run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test. The buyer will do this (or he should), and you don't want to be surprised by the results.
    2. Reset the PRAM and the SMC, which might contain personal information.
    3. If you set a firmware password, remove it by running Firmware Password Utility in Recovery mode.
    4. If you activated FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, turn it off.
    5. If you use Boot Camp, the partition must be deleted.
    6. If you created any other data partitions on the internal drive, remove them in Disk Utility.
    7. If the machine has an internal hard drive, erase the one remaining data partition with the option to zero out data. An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
    You can't legally or practically transfer any software downloaded from the Mac App Store to the new owner of the machine, even if it was free. That includes OS X, so if you upgraded to OS X 10.7 or later, you must reinstall an older OS, either from the installation media, if applicable, or by starting up in Internet Recovery mode (option-command-R at the startup chime.) If you installed from physical media, deliver those to the new owner.
    If you're selling the machine, or donating it in working order, and it originally shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, then you have the option of installing either from the discs that came with it or from a retail Snow Leopard disc (which you must then transfer to the buyer.) The buyer should understand that if he doesn't get the original discs from you, he won't get the bundled iLife applications or the Apple Hardware Test. Replacements for the original discs can be ordered from Apple.
    The new owner will have to redownload any software that came from the App Store, including OS X upgrades, under his or her Apple ID. If you ever updated the bundled iLife applications (Garage Band, iMovie, and iPhoto) through the App Store, you can't transfer those either. The buyer will have to purchase them.
    Remove the machine from your list of registered products. If it's still covered by an AppleCare Protection Plan, transfer the coverage to the new owner by following the instructions in the AppleCare Terms and Conditions (under the heading "Transfer of Plan.")

  • How do I know if my brand new Mac mini (late 2012) really has Mac OS X 10.9 Maverick preinstalled?

    How do I know if my brand new Mac mini (late 2012) really has Mac OS X 10.9 Maverick preinstalled, as stated when I bought it, without opening the box and booting the device? It says "Copyright 2012 Apple Inc." on one of the sides of the box, which makes me uncertain.
    If it does not have Mac OS X 10.9 Maverick preinstalled I might have bought an old device, in worst case as old as a year or more.

    The late 2012 does have USB 3 !!
    I specifically waited to purchase a Mac Mini
      until USB 3 was made available.
    Look at the diagram (picture) on the bottom of the box.  The diagram that details which ports are available on the unit.
    If you see 3 after USB.. then it is a late 2012 Mac Mini.
    Looking at my box it clearly says USB 3.
    I don't think there has been any changes to the Mac Mini since late 2012.
      other than the pre-installed OS being Mavericks now..
    You will want USB 3!!!
    My box also indicates it is version 2.6 (just above the Airport ID).
      (Mine is definitely a late 2012 model).
