I have just bought a mac minni a week ago and noticed that it would freeze. Apple replaced it with a new mac minni. This minni is also freezing. Ideas?
I bought a mac minni about 2 weeks ago. Had problems with the minni freezing randomly. Had Apple troubleshoot the problem and was determined that the problem was a hardware problem. Apple gave me a new minni. Now I am experienceing the same problem with this minni. I am not using an Apple mouse/keyboard and was wondering if that could be the problem. Also I do have two external hard drives that I used. There are no other programs that I have loaded on the minni. What are the odds that this is another hardware problem? Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Could it be the keyboard/mouse? I would not think the external hard drives should cause any problem.

If I were you I'd take it back. On at least one occassion I had an Apple employee tell me there had been a "bad batch" - it was a battery, not a computer - and a history of previous identical failures. It happens.
Suggest you take the keyboard and the mouse with you when you return the Mini - no doubt the Apple employee will test them too.

I would like to find out i can connect 2 iphones to my new macbook pro. They were both synced with my PC. I have transfered my libary from the PC to the mac but dsont want to lose everything from iphone.
This is always fun.
In iTunes you will need to take some steps.
First connect to the device to the computer.
Click the Store button at the top - Click Authorize this Computer- enter in your Credentials for your AppleID
Once your computer is authorized
Click File at the top left of the screen and then click Transfer Purchases.
Once that is finished
Click on the name of the iPhone under device
Click the Info tab above the phone in the middle of the screen.
Check the box's for the content you want to sync,
Contacts- Addressbook
Calendars iCal Calendars.
Dont need to do mail,
Sync notes - if you want.
Anything in the Advanced section DO NOT TOUCH.
Click apply at the bottom right,
Once that is complete you should be able to sync with this comptuer***
***Note***
Any music that was not purchased from the iTunes store will not transfer only Music Purchased from the iTunes store will transfer.. - so no CD's or Torrented, Downloaded from the interwebz,,
If you want those types of music to transfer you will have to setup a Wireless shared Folder, or a USB/External drive to transfer it over. -
i just bought a macbook air 3 weeks ago and now they have an upgrade. is there anyway for me to trade up?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
It's possible to return the computer during the first 14 days, but now you can't return the MacBook Air. You can sell your computer and get a new MacBook -
I just bought my macbook pro 2 weeks ago and have noticed that when I go to start it up, it takes longer to power up than when I first bought it. Does anyone know why this may be and of a fix for it?
Hi. It could be that the more you pile on the HD, the longer it will take to boot. When I first bought my MBP, it took maybe 30 seconds. But as I began putting more content on the HD, it seemed to take a bit longer to boot. You may also want to consider putting your MBP in sleep mode. That's what I do with mine and it doesn't hurt at all as far as I can tell.

I bought my iPad mini two weeks ago and used my apple ID to make it sync with my iPhone. But so far I have not been able to activate iMessage and face time. It only gives me the option of signing in and when I do that I get an error message telling me that either my user name or password for my email is incorrect; even though I have been using my correct my apple ID in the password entry area. My apple ID works for every thing else. Please, can you help in this case?

I have switched from using a PC to an iMac and want to know how to register Lightroom 5.7 for new Mac?
Are you on CC or standalone perpetual licence?
If the former I believe you merely download LR from the CC site onto your iMac and log in and off you go.
If the latter, download LR onto your Mac from the perpetual licence site (not the CC version), install it and use the same licence number as with your PC. -
Hello, I have Just purchased an iphone 5 2 weeks ago but when I look through my USB power adapter, there is no serial number printed inside the USB opening, can I know is it a fake one?
If you purchased it from Apple or an authorized Apple reseller, it's genuine.
If not, it is very likely to be counterfeit and dangerous to use. Counterfeit power adapters often bear fraudulent consumer product safety markings. It is difficult or impossible to distinguish a genuine power adapter from a counterfeit from an exterior inspection, and inspecting its interior destroys the adapter.
From http://www.apple.com/support/usbadapter-takeback/:
If you need a replacement adapter to charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod, we recommend getting an Apple USB power adapter. For a limited time, you can purchase one Apple USB power adapter at a special price — $10 USD or approximate equivalent in local currency. To qualify, you must turn in at least one USB power adapter and bring your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to an Apple Retail Store or participating Apple Authorized Service Provider for serial number validation.
If in doubt, do not use it. -
I bought one Iphone a 3 weeks ago and I can´t listen what people speak with me, because de microphone doesn´t work, I need to use the speaker, somebody know what I need to do?
Just thought that I'd report that I've decided on my solution.
It seems that just making do with what I can find on the US store is the easiest and perhaps also the best way of going about it. All other methods mean trouble. I'm lucky that China hasn't outright blocked the US store, as they HAVE blocked iTunes music store in China already (something about a song about Tibet caused them to block the store entirely).
So yeah, just going to deal with it I guess. I should be grateful I'm getting anything at all, considering the country I'm in. Still, I just feel so ripped off sometimes when I pay for expensive devices and I can't even get much out of them do to my region. iPhones cost around $700 in China because there's no company like AT&T that you can just sign a contract with to get one, so you have to pay up-front for the phone, and get less features out of it in the end. Makes buying smart phones look like a waste of time and money sometimes, since you can't use the device to do what it was built to do due to censorship and not having any content for your region (though they do have a lot of Chinese apps that I can't use due to not knowing Chinese). -
Just got my iPad 2 three days ago and noticed the battery life drops faster than I expected at least compared to the others ones around, please I need to know the cause and how to effect necessary changes that will prolong the battery life as I have gone through the settings which includes turning off the push notifications, reduce brightness and so on but that doesn't seem to help much.
FYI
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

I have just bought a 4th generation i pod touch and i cannot download existing i tunes onto it
I have just bought a new i pod touch 32 gb 4th generation and cannot get my existing i tunes account to download to it
The 2G can only go as high as iOS 4.2.1. To find apps for the 2G
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
To update to 4.2.1
The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes as far as your iPod model allows
A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later. -
Finally made the switch from PC to Mac, after my PC crashed and burned. I Do not have a backup on an external drive, and I was unable to recover any data from the trashed PC hard drive.
Can I download my library, or is there a way to get my itunes content on my new Macbook Pro? I have almost 10 years of music and stuff on my iTunes, so I really hope there is a fix!
Thanks!No backup is a huge mistake.
You can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

I just purchased Photoshop Elements 12 last week (9/17/2014), after using the 30-day trial and now see that PSE 13 has been released. Is there a free upgrade available for people in my situation? Who would I need to contact at Adobe?
Thanks,

Since you've purchased Photoshop Elements 12 within 30 days of Photoshop Elements 13 release you qualify for the upgrade, please chat with our Customer Service to receive the upgrade. http://bit.ly/E12_PAU
Plesae make sure you have a valid Proof of purchase for Photoshop Elements 12.

I got my iphone 4 a week ago, but i realized that whenever the battery reaches 55% it automatically turns off and will not turn on unless its connected to a power supply (AC charger or USB on pc). I tried hard resetting it but it did not work. Havent restored it. Any idea why is this so? I hope it has nothing to do with the battery.

HT5569 Have just bought an i-Pad Wi-Fi Cellular and cannot connect to any network, any ideas ?
Totally new and inexperienced to i-pads but have bought one as I need to travel but keep in touch with various things. Have put sim card in and it's asking me to activate i-Pad and offering networks or use mobile connection. As it's a cellular i-Pad I've tried mobile connection but nothing happens, what am I doing wrong ? There are no instructions in box to help.
If anyone can help I would be grateful.
Thanks in advance.
