HT201178 I have a Mac mini with Magic Trackpad and wireless keyboard. The keyboard and track pad got wet so I have purchased new ones. Problem is how do I get past the log in screen to set up the pairing of the devices? The old ones do not work

How do I get past the login screen to pair my new wireless keyboard and trackpad when the old ones are water damaged and don't work

Have you tried pulling the batteries out of the damaged ones so that they are completely off; then shutdown your Mac Mini via the power button on the back right. Turn on your new keyboard and trackpad then power your Mini back up? The auto detection should find your new keyboard and trackpad.

Hi I have a mac mini with my TV as a display. MY display includes the taskbar but no menu bar, how do I see menu bar???

HI
I have a mac mini with my TV as a display. My display includes the taskbar but no menu bar, how do I see menu bar???

Make sure you are using a 1080p capable TV. Some TVs have pixel level video ratio adjustment. Sometimes that can force the menubar to be visible if it is the only display connected to the machine. Sometimes you have to go to your hard drive's Applications -> System Preferences -> Displays and drag the white bar on top of the display's representation to the other display. You can only have one primary display with menubar.
Lastly, for non-1080p capable displays, DisplayConfigX or SwitchResX offer pixel level adjustments through software.

I have a mac mini with a web cam/microphone and would like to be able to facetime with my families iPhones 4S/5 using wi-fi email address. I can't call the iPhones from the Mac Mini with Mountain Lion OS. What is wrong?

I am trying to include a Mac Mini with a webcam/microphone to call several family iPhones 4S/5 usisng email addresses vice phone numbers so that we can communicate from outside the US via iPhone to the US (Mac Mini) via wi-fi and email addresses.

I can't get past a log in screen on a 10.4.11 iMac. Help!

We have a number of new staff members at our school. one of them wants to use a 10.4.11 imac that is connected to a Promethean board. The computer has a generic login screen that no one knows the verification information for. I created the new user in our 10.4.11 file server, then tried his login ID on the computer; it was rejected. Awhile back in an Apple discussion forum, I learned a hack for getting past initial login screens on imacs if the administrative ID password is forgotten. That always works, but DIDN'T this time. I am at a loss what to do now, other than reinstalling the operating system on the 10.4.11 imac workstation. Any suggestions? Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks

I just bought an Iphone and I am trying to unlock it but it says I must first insert a valid sim card, how do I get past this screen?

I am trying to unlock an Iphone that I just bought online. I have TMobile. The phone however says that I have to insert a valid sim card (which I don't have yet) in order to unlock the phone. I can't even get into the settings or the home screen of the phone. How can I get past this locked screen? Thanks.

How can I get past this locked screen?
Do what it says and install a SIM card.
Did you buy an unlocked phone? If not, then only the carrier to which it is locked to can unlock the phone.

I have a mac mini with both the 256 SSD and a 750 GB drive.

My SSD is almost full and the 750 not used at all. I would like to put my data files on the 750 and free up the SSD for OS and critical programs. How do I do this? Qualifier: I bought it last week and have not used many Apple products in the past 15 years. I have not a lot of experience to draw on. thank you for your help.

Hello, I have a mac mini with iworks on it that I purchased. How do I share this with my macbook air?

Hello,
I have iworks I purchased for my Mac mini and would like to share this license with my macbook air. How can I do this?
Thank you,
Kevin

It all depends on how you bought iWork (no 's') in the first place. If you bought the apps individually from the Mac App Store you can download them again on any Mac running at least 10.7.4 you have with the same Apple ID. If you bought a family pack retail box, use the disk to intall on the MacBook Air.

My iTunes downloads were made using my old gmail address. I had to quit using this email address as it got hacked. I created a new gmail account. How can I get my iTunes downloads into the new gmail account?

My iTunes downloads were made using my old gmail address. I had to quit using this address as it got hacked. How do I get my iTunes downloads into my new iTunes account that was created with a new gmail address? In my old iTunes account (with the old gmail address, I can't 'update' my email address or even 'add an alternate address' as I had already created this gmail account and inputting the new address into iTunes gives me the 'pop-up' that 'this account is already in use.' Advice please!

Good luck. It took me weeks to fix this when I had to do it. Your old ID branches out in lots of places. You may have to delete app and get them again, at least that is what Apple told me. Plus, all of your settings on your iPad that required any ID, will have to be changed. My old ID kept showing up in different places for weeks. Changing it on Apple.com is just the beginning.

I have a mac mini with mobie me on it how do i get i cloud on it instead?

I am trying to get I cloud on my mini but i don't know where to get the software? My mini came with mobie me instead. Does anyone have any sugestions?

OMG, with all the Apple products I have bought and sold to customers (wont tell where I work-- not an Apple store) and thats the best solution? If thats the best I won't buy and will not sell another one to a customer again. I guess I will go to the apple Store here in town and hear what they have to say. My machince is only two years old (well close to it)! Thanks for the reply....

Can you stream video and use the computer at the same time on a mac mini with hdmi

Can you steam video and use the computer at the same time? I have a mac mini with hdmi.

Shouldn't be a problem, unless you want to view it in Full Screen Mode at the same time with only one display.

Does anyone have a Mac Mini (MID-2007) with wifi that works?

Does anyone have a Mac Mini (MID-2007 C2D) which wifi works?
It seems that Mac Mini has different models and some have a Broadcom Wifi card and some Atheros WIFI card. I'm trying to find user whom Mac Mini 2007 with atheros card works. Since os x 10.6 and 10.7 my wifi have not worked at all. I even changed internal antenna. Also attached external antenna on WIFI cards ext port. Still very poor connection. Also sometimes when my mac wakes from sleep country code of WIFI card is US not FI as rest of my family macs. WIFI is made with apple extreme router (802.11n). 2.4 and 5 Ghz networks. I do not have network interference. With Minimac Atheros card has support b and g network with 2.4 Ghz and a network with 5 ghz. Signal ratio is average -80 dbm, and speed varies from 6-36. Both a and g networks work same way on minimac. When I turn machin on wifi is usable about 1-2 minutes then latency will rice and after that timeout will occur on network. Still mac mini is connected to network.
Atheros firmware is: 5424: 2.1.14.9
Card: Airport Extreme (0x168c, 0,86)
Location: ETSI
Country: FI
Security: NONE
PHY: 802.11a
There are a lot of guides on net how to get it working; eg. change older OS kext, remove preferences, install os again (done all that, nothing works, but older kext files seem to work little better). But does any one have a Mac Mini with working wifi. What brand is your router and is the card in minimac original Atheros. Broadcom seems to operate Apple Extreme router quite well.

My Mac Mini Mid 2007 has the same specs:
Card: AirPort Extreme (0x168c, 0x86
Firmware: Atheros 5424: 2.1.14.9
Ever since I upgraded to 10.7.2, my WiFi has been running painfully slowly. Same issue: it works okay for a minute or two, but then slows to a crawl, with network timeouts, etc. And it shows I'm still connected to the network. It gets particularly bad when waking from sleep, unless I quit my web browser first, then put the machine to sleep. (Waking the machine with browser still "launched" causes big problems.)
Has anyone figured out a workaround for this issue?

Connecting mac mini with windows

I am trying to connect my mac mini with a windows laptop, to share a printer and some files. My mac mini works fine with my macbook, but when I try to connect to the laptop, or viceversa, I can get it to work. I am ussing the mini a the server so I want the laptop to share the printer, but I can find a way to make it work. How do I make my mini to recognize the windows laptop? I tried connecting both directly with a ethernet cable, but nothing. I will like them to work throgh my wireless network, but I do not know how. HELP!!!

Firstly, confirm both the Mac mini and the Windows laptop are in the same Windows Workgroup. The Windows Workgroup is set using the Directory Access utility (Applications > Utilities) under SMB/CIFS. Also, make sure Windows File Sharing is turned on and your Firewall is set correctly.

How do I get past the request to turn off Itunes.

Hi people,
Sorry if this question has already been answered. I tried to find some help on the forum but the question may have been asked a different way and I couldn't find it.
So my problem, I have downloaded xcode_3.2.6_and_ios_sdk_4.3.dmg and it is sitting in my downloads folder.
I have a Mac Mini with Mac OS X Version 10.6.8
According to all messages, everything should be fine for me to install.
So I click on the .dmg file and it churns away for a while showing various progress messages. All goes well until it has about 2 minutes to go. Then a popup appears that says I must shut down ITunes before the install can finish. Well, I don't have ITunes running.
I have checked everything I can to make sure there is nothing connected that may somehow be accessing ITunes. I have even re-booted the computer and done nothing but run the install. It still stops at 2 minutes and says I have to shut down ITunes.
The only way I have been able to get out of the popup is to force a shutdown using the Apple icon on the top left of my computer screen.
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get xcode to install?
Thanks
EastWind

You must close:
- iTunes
- Simulator
- Xcode
- Application Loader
...and...run Activity Monitor, locate and kill 'iTunes Helper', then try installing again.
