    after installing osx 10.8.2 to my mac mini it will not recognize my admin account. how do i uninstall

    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

  • My Mac Book Pro does not recognize the presence of a DVD or CD

    Ever since I upgraded my MacBook Pro, it does not recognize a DVD or CD of any type when I put it in. I have a store bought DVD, the Social Network, which worked fine before upgrading to OSX operating system. Music CD's were okay then, too. Now, neither is even recognized by the player. Thought maybe it needed to be reloaded, but na't figure out how to do that. This is very frustrating, and makes me start to second guess my decision to switch to an Apple product. I've only hd this computer about 18 months, did the upgrade last September (?) and have had difficulties ever since. HELP me please!!!

    Use Apple Hardware Test
    Open the Help Viewer’s Action pop-up menu (looks like a gear) and choose Print to print these instructions.
    Disconnect all external devices except the keyboard, mouse, display, and speakers. If you have an Ethernet cable or external DVD drive, disconnect them.
    Restart your computer, holding down the D key while the computer restarts.After your computer restarts, you should see the Apple Hardware Test chooser screen. If you don’t, Apple Hardware Test may not be available on your computer. You may be able to start Apple Hardware Test from the Internet. Reconnect your computer to the network, and then restart your computer while holding down both the Option and D keys.

  • New mac mini system will not recognize wireless keyboard and trackpad.

    My brand new mac mini system will not initialize properly.  The return on the track pad are not being recognized, although scrolling is. Any others find this?  Support could not figure this out on the phone.  They sent me out to get new batteries and now they are closed.  Batteries have been changed and still nothing.

    My Mac MINI gave me one heck of a time trying to get it  to recognize my Bluetooth mouse and keyboard. both Apple brand.
    I finally had to connect an old USB mouse and keyboard to get the silly thing to connect. 
    Don't forget to repair permissions. 
    I also had to shut the computer down and start it back up a couple of times before it would connect.  I think it has to do with the new Bluetooth 4.0 wireless technology.
    I also turned off my Bluetooth devices and turned them on again, then I pulled the batteries out a couple of times and tried again and again.
    I also put in new battries even thiough the ones I replaced were about a week old.
    Finally, the MINI recognised the mouse and keyboard.
    I wish I could tell you which thing did the trick.

  • Mac Pro Hexacore does not recognize new drive

    I have just received my new 2 TB Seagate constellation drive and the mac pro hexacore running OS X 10.6.7 does not recognize it.  From touching the drive it is warm and feels like it is running but nothing shows up on the desktop and Disc utility does not see it at all.  Since this is the highest quality drive with a 139 year MTBF it seems infinitely more likely that something is not right in the mac than in the drive.  In the past adding new drives has been simple enough but this one is not even showing up.  Ideas?

    Actually I had ordered 2 of these drives and at first I thought it was an Apple problem but I put the second drive in and it worked perfectly, so the first drive must have been DOA.  Thanks for the reply.  I just wanted to make sure I had not forgotten to do something to make the drie be recognized.
    Thanks

  • Mac mini (2009) does not work for s-video input on my  tv

    Hi,
    I have a new mac mini (2009) and I want to use like a media center. I have an adapter at MiniDisplay port to s-video to connect to my tv. I do not have digital inputs on the tv, I only have s-video, rca and scart. When I plug in s-video or RCA I have no image on TV. The adapter I have is the original apple store. Can you help solve the problem? I do not like having to change the tv.
    Thank you

  • Photoshop CC on a Mac running Mavericks does not recognize Epson 3880

    This is my first post to this forum so I hope that I am following protocol and presenting my issue clearly.
    I am running Photoshop CC (on a Mac Retina with an Epson 3880). It has worked fine for months but it crashed twice yesterday while I was in print mode as I was playing with configurations – switching from Epson to Adobe and playing with color management. (I have an Epson 3880.) Now when I open a file and click File/Print or File/Print One Copy, the printer selection menu does not appear and instead I get a message "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents." After that the print and print one copy commands are greyed out on the File dropdown menu for that image file, but if I open another, the print function appears to be available but the same thing happens
    I have downloaded the latest printer driver from Epson, deleted the printer from System Preferences, installed it again and rebooted. I have done all this twice to no avail. (The OS, the printer drivers and Photoshop CC are all up to date.)
    I can use the print command from Lightroom 5 but not from Photoshop CC.
    How can I reset Photoshop’s print function to recognize the printer?

    Epson has had a LOT of problems with drivers on MacOS 10.9.
    Contact Epson for driver updates that work correctly on MacOS 10.9.

  • Can't upgrade iMac to Yosemite "because Mac OS X does not recognize internet addresses starting with "macappstores"

    I want to upgrade Snow Leopard (10.6.8) to Yosemite. The download page on Apple website shows that my system meets all requirements;
    however, when I click to download I get the following error message. The browser freezes and closing Safari is the only way I can get out of it:

    You are probably going to want to upgrade your memory (RAM). While 2 GB is the stated minimum, realistically 4 GB seems to be the consensus minimum. More is better.
    The 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum. I now have 6GB installed on a machine supposedly limited to 4 GB.

  • Installing WIndows 7 onto a Mac Mini that does not have an internal optical drive.

    Has anyone had any success in installing WIndows 7 onto a Mac Mini via Boot Camp using either a USB stick or an external SuperrDrive?

    Option 1: Get a USB "Super Drive" and use it to install windoze.
    Option 2: Use Parallels Desktop to run windoze.
    Option 3: Wait for someone who knows more than I do to tell you how to do it using magic.

  • HELP! My Mac os x does not recognize Cd's or Dvd's!

    My Mac OS X is not recognizing CD's or DVD's! Every time I try to insert a cd or dvd, the computer just spits it back out!
    I've tried looking through different forums, but no one seems to have the answer!
    Does anyone else have this problem? If so, how do you fix it?

    You could try resetting the SMC and PRAM that sometimes helps in situations like this.
    You don't mention what your system is or if this is happening with both blank and written disks so it's difficult to give much more information.
    Of course the most likely reason for the problem is a hardware fault. Is your system still under warranty or do you have Apple Care? If so taking it in for service is the best bet.

  • Mac Mini 2014 does not support 4K SST at 60hz displays

    Many questions on this - bottom line, 2014 Mini hardware will only drive 4K at 30hz .. not the most desirable solution.
    Does Yosemite 10.10.3 now enable Mac Mini 2014 to drive 4K SST displays at 60z?  Answer = NO.

    That is correct

  • Mac OS X does not recognize the increased capacity of the Xserve Raid

    The Xserve raid recognizes the increased capacity of 4.09TB per controller however. When the arrays are opened in Disk Utilty on the Mac Pro it shows 2TB and 1.4 for the other. When creating the arrays I originally had four 750GB for the top and three 750GB for the bottom controller.
    I have followed through with expanding the array's then merging the slices for adding additional HDD's as detailed in Apple support.
    Am I doing something wrong? Please help.
    Tony

    Yes rebooted nothing unfortunately. I think I've solved it though, was reading somewhere you basically need to start again. So I've deleted the array added the extra HDD's to the new 2nd array and I'll see if it's worked 50 hrs from now. Really wish apple would come clean about the capabilities of their hardware.
