I suspect the monitor has an ADC connector

If so you need one of these:

Otherwise what connector is on the monitor?

I have a new ipad mini and I want to sync with my ipad, but I don't want to sync photos or music as it takes up all my memory.

I have a new ipad mini and I want to sync with my ipad, but I don't want to sync photos or music as it takes up all my memory. How can I do this?

I'm not understanding what you're wanting. You don't sync ipad to iPad. You can sync both devices to the same iTunes account or same computer.
And you can choose the content on each device. I have an iPod and iPad and maintain separate content on each one.

I am confused about Icloud. I have a 5 year old Macbook, a 2 year old macbook and a 5 year old mac mini. What exactly do I need to do to get all this connected via Icloud. I also have an Iphone 3G. Help please!

I am confused about Icloud. I have a 5 year old Macbook, a 2 year old macbook and a 5 year old mac mini. What exactly do I need to do to get all this connected via Icloud. I also have an Iphone 3G. Help please! Also, I still don't understand exactly what the benefits are. At the moment it seems a lot of hassle to change a system that's been working perfectly well and that I'm very happy with. I'm not at all sure whether the mac mini (1.66 GHz INtel Core Duo) can be brought up to the relevant spec to run ICloud. Any thoughts?

There are two aspects to iCloud. One is simply getting an account, or migrating a mobileme account to iCloud. The second part is using the various features of iCloud to sync contacts, calendars, use music match or photo sharing, and store iWorks documents.
First to get an iCloud account:
If you have a mobileme account, you can migrate by simply logging onto www.icloud.com (ignore any references to Lion and just click through to complete the migration). If you have OS X Lion or an iOS 5 mobile device, you can create an iCloud account on that device using any valid AppleID.
Once you have an account, you can use JUST the mail account if you wishi - it is a standard IMAP account so you would set it up like any other IMAP email account you have, in whatever client program you use to read email.
To use the OTHER feautes of iCloud, your computers will have to be running OS X Lion (10.7). Your iPhone 3G will never be able to use iCloud as it cannot run iOS 5 (you need a min. of an iPhone 3GS to run iOS 5).
The requirements for OS X Lion are here - http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html You need a min. of a Core 2 duo processor so you mini is not capable of running Lion.
So, in your case, the single reasons for iCloud would be if you have a mobileme account, then use the online www.icloud.com to migrate your account so you do not lose your @me.com email address. You can use iCloud email (without using any other iCloud features) by setting it up as IMAP mail with these settings - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
If you want an iCloud account and do NOT already have a mobileme account, you will need to upgrade one machine at least to Lion in order to be able to create an iCloud account.

I have the Numbers-applications on both Mac mini and Macbook Air. My problem is that they don't sync so when I create a Numbers-file on the MacBook while travelling, it will not be on my Mac mini when I get home :(((

Hey iWeb plubishing problems,
I would first check to make sure that you meet the system requirements for OS X to support Documents in the Cloud. For that your Mac’s needs to be running at least OS X Lion 10.7.5 or later to make sure that everything syncs. Take a look at the article below for more information.

I have a new iPod Touch and am trying to download photos for the first time. Both iPhoto & Image Capture recognize the device but don't seem to recognize the photos, or at least I can't import them. Nothing happens when I click on anything in either.

If you manually open iPhoto do you not see the photos?
Maybe here:
iOS: Unable to import photos or device not recognized as a camera
Yu are trying to impoort photos taken by or saved to the iPod, right? If the photos were synced to the iPod then iPhot does not work.

HT1338 I bought a new Mac Mini and tried to pair my keyboard with the Mac Mini. They will not pair via Bluetooth. What is wrong?

I have recently bought a Mac Mini and tried to pair the new apple wireless keyboard with the Mac but after trying 6 times no luck. What can I do about this?

try this method:
You need at least a USB mouse. If you don't get any option to pair a keyboard, click through the setup until you get to the "Create Your Computer Account" screen, right click in any of the text fields and select Substitutions --> Show Substitutions. From there click on text preferences. The preferences pane will popup and from there you can just click the back button (next to show all) to get to the full preferences menu. Next click on keyboard, then select setup bluetooth keyboard and you're golden.

I have a new iPad mini and my contacts are synching with each others information and pictures

I am trying to set up a new iPad. My contacts from Facebook are putting wrong picture and combining names

Hi Hindie,
If you are having issues syncing contacts on your new iPad Mini, you may want to double check how you have your contacts set to sync. The "Contacts" section of the following article should outline the process:

How to use multiple iDevices with one computer

I have an old work apple ID that is associated with my App Store . I have created new apple ids and reset in settings but whenI access the App Store it still defaults to my old work apple ID. I can't seem to get passed this, any ideas?

I have an old work e mail address that was a primary apple id. The App Store uses this as a default. I have created a new apple ID and changed this in the settings but the App Store still defaults to the old address. How can I get change this as I cannot update anything at this stage. I cannot create a new password against the ole apple ID as the e mail is no longer valid, old work e mail

Hi tried the various options but ended up deleting the apps associated with the old Appleid and then accessing them from the App Store and reloading. They automatically asked for the new Appleid and password.

HT1414 I have a new Ipad Mini and trying to perform an initial up. Keeps giving me an error?

How do I set up and ipad mini? Keeps giving me and error message...

After an update to the iTunes store terms of use or if this is your first time using your iTunes account, it will ask you to tick to say you agree to the Terms, once you have done that it should then let you go to the App and download it.
It also may be a payment option, log into your account on the iTunes store without selecting any Apps and check the payment section and your details section, see if there is anything that is flagged, which may be stopping your downloading an App, even if you do not need to pay for it.
The store also has you set up 3 Q and As to protect your account, which it will want before you download anything.
