I bought Illustrator 11 for an iMac mini.

I bought Illustrator 11 from Amazon. I am getting the error 'You can’t open the application “Install Adobe IllustratorCS” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.' on my iMac mini. Is there a way round this, or should I give up and send it back for a refund?

I Think you should send it back. This is the 'old software vs. new computer' problem. Illustrator 11 is so old anyway, you may as well just use Inkscape for free. Go to Inkscape.org. Hold off on illustrator until you can afford a new copy or a subscription.

You must also buy Pages for the iPad. It is a separate app.

Find it in the App Store.

You can probably get a better response by posting on the windows Compatibility forum here:

We're not uncooperative over here but merely focused on BootCamp.

If I have purchased OS X 10.7 for my Mac Mini, do I have to purchase it again for my Mac Book?

I have a Mac Mini that I have purchased OS X Lion for and I have a Mac Book that I want to update to Mountain Lion, but it still has Leopard running on it so I have to get Lion before I can upgrade to Mountain Lion. The question is since I already bought Lion for my Mac Mini can I download it to my Mac Book without paying again.

By opening the Mac App Store, logging in with an Apple ID used to purchase it, clicking on the Purchases tab, and downloading it from there.

I ALREADY bought iWork on my imac... [any tips on taking notes?]

i just bought a new imac a couple months ago and now i plan to buy a macbook in a couple weeks. i need Pages '08 on the macbook to take notes, but I just bought iWork for my imac.
1) is there anyway to legally transfer the program without having to buy twice?
2) better yet, i only need iWork so i can easily take notes in class, but can anyone recommend a better program to use for taking notes?

Always read the end user license agreement that flashes up when you first install your program. Usually the first or second paragraph details your installation rights. iWork may legally be installed on only one computer at a time though the program does no checking to see if you have installed it on more than one computer. Unlike some companies we can mention, Apple doesn't assume its users are criminals. The more typical license allows you to install software on more than one computer (often stated as one desktop and one notebook) but only permits you to use one computer at a time.

I bought a new keyboard for my iMac (10.5) but the f1,f2,f3, etc. buttons don't work. Rather, f14 is the adjustment for brightness. How do I change it back to normal?

Certain older Macs can't use later version Apple keyboards.
Various aluminum models were compatible with later model
G5 PowerMac and iMac, while the older could only use older
model keyboards. Third party USB keyboards from a variety
of makers other than Apple may work OK.
Be sure the Mac OS X is updated to the last Combo and
then see if there is any other software update is available.
Not sure now (years have gone by) if there was a firmware
update applicable to the older Macs so they could use later
metal keyboards. I'd found several white USB polycarbonate
Apple keyboards to work with most of the last PPC Macs;
and bought spares as available, metal / newer didn't work
with mine. Several white plastic ones can work w/ intelmac.
There were keyboard model numbers (Apple) noted to work
with aluminum PowerMac G5, while others that look other-
wise identical (except number on keyboard) did not work...
Too new, and they weren't supported. Worked w/Intel-Mac.
Good luck & happy computing!

HT204053 I have a problem. I bought Pages and Numbers for my iMac and so far everything was OK. Suddenly i have a problem with connection to iCloud. Dokuments created on iMac in Pages or Numbers are not transfered to iCloud. Not uploaded in iCloud.

Suddenly i have a problem with connection to iCloud.
Dokuments created on iMac in Pages or Numbers are not transfered to iCloud. Not uploaded to iCloud. There is a sign (small shape of iCloud), that they are waiting to be uploaded to iCloud.
I think the iCloud is OK.
i can see and manage documents in iCloud. i can create them on iPad and see them and delete them in iCloud.
But not on iMac.
i dont know what has happened and I am not abble to find the solution. It was OK till some days ago….

I have a similar problem! Everything stopped working after upgrading to Mac OS 10.8.4 through the App Store. Help!

Please, i bought a new track pad for my imac. it is working well when my imac is on. But, anytime i off my imac and wish to on it again, My track pad will be connected but it doesn't click i will need a mouse to log in my password first . Any help?

To be specific. I have the imac late 2013 model, and i just bought the trackpad this October 2014. I have been using magic mouse without any problem. I just want to have a new experience with the trackpad. Any time i on my imac, i will have a normal screen with my picture and a guest column at the center. I need to click either my picture or the guest in order to have the space where i can key in my password with the keyboard. But unfortunately, my trackpad will show that it is connected and the cursor will be moving in front of the screen if i touch the trackpad, but if i try to click, i will get no response. I have to put back batteries inside my magic mouse and then click on my picture if i want to log in with my id or i click on the guest image if i want to log in as a guest. it is only after this that my trackpad will start responding.
i want to use only trackpad for now so as to be more efficient with it. I don't want to be putting back batteries inside the magic mouse only to on my imac. I need a solution please.
Thanks.

It sounds like you have assigned the primary click on the trackpad to something else, perhaps a gesture.
Use your mouse, login and then open the Trackpad preference pane and see how you have the interface configured.
Oh and you can have both the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad powered up and working at the same time. No need to keep moving batteries around.

HT5219 I would like to use my iMac 7,1 as a monitor for my Mac mini 2012. Is that possible and if yes, what type of cable connection do I need? Thank you.

No. Your iMac only has DVI video connection. You would need an iMac with Thunderbolt.

I have a mid 2011 27 inch iMac and a late 2012 mac mini. I am using the 27 inch iMac as the display for the mac mini. I was trying to use bootcamp on the mini but after I started downloading windows I can't get it to display on the iMac.

Hi there,
The simplest way is to drag it across wirelessly using the 'Airdrop' application once both computers are near one another. 'Airdrop' can be found near the top, on the left hand side menu, within 'Finder'.

Hey, I want to buy a macbook pro or imac mini, I want to know which is better and why, is their going to be new macbooks ect released in 2-3 months thats better that i should rather wait for? Or buy one now ?

Please help me i dont know which one to buy, and ive never owned one before but i have used my friends quite alot. Why is macbook's worth buying if you can get many products for the same price with better specs ?What makes it unique that it dominates basically the whole world.

Hey,
Thank's 4 the advice , but one of my main problems is I live in South Africa and apple products is x2 as much as what the usa doller is for it. Eg Macbook pro starting price $1199 american dollars and directley converted to South African currency is R9160.30.... but the problem is if i want to buy it in my country it has been marked up alot and a Macbook pro starting price for me will be R13000 for 13 inch and if you directley convert our price into american dollers its $1704.30 american dollars, so thats +600 dollers more.
So its much more expensive to buy products in my country and thats just the starting price.
I want mobality but i was also thinking (imac mini) is kinda portable and can plug into any1 T.V u know.
So like i really do t know what to get and that, because its alot more money to spend than the US dollar.
So i really want you to put your self in my position you know...
And what is classified as a good monitor???
And i want to know why my friends say that the imac mini is pathetic , but i think it losts longer than most windows laptops, what do you think ??
And can i who lives in south africa buy products directley from apple them selves ??
Thank's man , hope you can help me out here!
Hope other people can c this 2

Is it possible to use an iMac as the display for a Mac mini?

Is it possible to use an iMac as the display for a Mac mini?

iMacs late 2009 or newer can be used in Target display
mode. Any older, no can do.
The only other way is via network Screen Sharing or
some otherVPN network like solution. The issue here
though is that video performance will be pretty severely
hampered.
