I'm trying to connect a Sony wireless keyboard and can't figure out how to get the iPad 2 to discover it. Has anyone had any luck using a non-Apple wireless keyboard and mouse?

Apple tech so far hasn't helped except to advise me to get manuals online that Sony doesn't post on its website. I've sent off an inquiry to Sony but don't expect an answer. Apple assumes my devices are bluetooth but the iPad2 hasn't figured out how to discover them, and I don't know how to make them discoverable. I'd like to have the option to use them but so far haven't been able to figure out how.

Heidi-
On the iPad, go to Settings-General-Bluetooth. Set Bluetooth to ON and a new window appears while the iPad searches for Bluetooth devices.
To get the keyboard into a discoverable mode, you may need to remove its batteries for a while. If it is not possible to get it to appear on the iPad, could the keyboard be defective? Can it be discovered by other computers?

I have an iPOD mini library and now have a IPhone 4S. I updated my library and synced my phone to the library but can not figure out how to get the music library to download to my iphone

I have an iPod mini library which I have update. I now have an iPhone 4S which I have synced to the library using a MS XP computer. I can not figure out how to get the library to download to my iPhone?

Thanks, This caused me to go back and try again since the solution seemed so simple. What I did was when it started downloading, it started with the iphones apps to my computer. I did not want the apps downloaded on my computer so I stopped it. If I would have waited, the music was uploaded right after the apps were downloaded.

You do a restore as new to wipe the iPhone then at the end of restore you will be asked to restore from backup. Choose your iPhone backup.
Note you cannot restore an IOS newer than the IOS on iPhone, you need to update iPhone first.

You could go hunting for a fair price on a refurbished or restored Intel-based Mac or MacBook, as most early models of CoreDuo and Core2Duo can run Snow Leopard 10.6.8, and some much more recent.
The Apple Store's Special Deals section that is online has some fairly recent examples of hardware with an OS, original accessories as noted, power cord, and complementary one year coverage. Eligibility for extended AppleCare plans are noted & may be available for various items in the store. Subject to availability. Refurbished. Like new. The price difference can be about the same as the additional two year AppleCare plan may cost, so get that too.
Third party repaired restored or available through other channels vary in quality, quantity, condition, and may be lacking in some or most original accessories; they should include basic hardware as originally equipped and have the boot-install software disc set as intended for that build model & year specification, included.
Auction sites rarely have that much of a kit together, w/ missing discs, scruffy, extra fees, etc. On the other hand, companies that restore and repair Macs for a living and are authorized Apple service centers may have something, if you aren't in the market for something holiday new or really quick. Older models if reasonably refurbished can still shine years later.
Hopefully this helps somewhat.
Good luck & happy computing!

Transferring some files from old hard drive to new mac book pro: How do I do this? I bought a SATA Wire, and can't figure out how to get my files

Hi there, my old mac book recently died and I opted to buy a new macbook pro, instead of pouring lots of money into the old computer. I was able to get my hard drive out, and I bought a 2.5" Sata Nootbook Drive Upgrade Kit. I have also installed superduper!....but I can't really figure out how to get everything to work. I just want to be able to take some of my files from my hard drive, not everything...
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I don't know what a "2.5" Sata Nootbook Drive Upgrade Kit" is but if you have a internal drive you need to connect all you needed was a $20 IDE/SATA to USB adapter
You don't need Superduper, that's software designed to clone a entire Mac's boot drive to a external drive for bootable backup purposes using the same machine/make/model.
Since the new Mac is different than the old one you can't clone (well you could but it will break the machine) the old drive to the new one.
However you can use the adapter above and software Apple provides in the Utilities folder on the NEW MAC, called Migration Assistant to transfer your User to the new machine.
However this might not be the best course of action as it can transfer unwanted data and cause problems in the Library, old programs that won't run on 10.7, etc.
You can simply create the same named user on the machine (System Preferences > Accounts) log into it and then connect the external drive with the adapter and copy the contents of your users folders over and place into the same.
It's always good to have another Admin level user account on the machine in case the primary one has a User based issue and you need to log into the other and grab files. So if either manually or via using Migration Assistant you wind up with two user accounts on the machine, it's really not that big of a deal.

My email screen got really large font and I cannot figure out how to get it back to normal. Has to be a Firefox thing because when I open it in Explorer it is normal size.

While typing on my email screen (Comcast), it just started magnifying and is now quite large font. I cannot figure out how to get it back to the normal size.

I added a security exception for an untrusted connection and can't figure out how to remove the exception.

The site is not unsafe site, but it's not what I wanted to do! How do I get rid of the exception?
I've tried Tools --> Options, and then I've looked mostly in Security and Advanced
I located the Encription area under Advanced, which looked promising, but I can't figure out which certificate I need to revoke; none of the say anything helpful like "user-requested exception" or anything like that.
The exception should have been for either a currently offline site (local only right now), or for the site I was connecting to through an embedded You Tube link. I am not sure which site I added the exception for, though I think it was for YouTube (the site being connected to).

Uninstalled my AMD R5 Graphics and can't figure out how to get it back.

So I was repeatedly getting the system thread exception not handled atikmdag.sys BSOD and I was desperate to find out how to fix it. It would happen when I was watching a video online and it would happen like every 1-2 hours. I was searching around the internet for ways to help the problem and someone gave me the solution of going to Device Manager>Display Adapters and uninstalling what was there and reinstalling it after. So I went to the Device Manager and uninstalled the two things that were under Display Adapters (AMD Radeon R5 & AMD Radeon R7, which I'm certain were both preinstalled with the laptop). I don't know if I did something wrong or if the solution was never going to work for me but once I uninstalled them I could not figure out how to reinstall them. I tried AMDs website and it wouldn't let me download anything, I tried HP and I couldn't reinstall them from there. Now all I have under Display Adapters is Microsoft Basic Display Adapter. I've noticed that I have lost the ability to turn the brightness of my laptop up or down, and I also noticed that there was a lot of screen tearing when I was watching things online, which could of just always been there and I'm just it now that I'm looking for imperfections. Finally I noticed that my laptop was getting much hotter than usual. So I guess what I would like to know is if I can somehow get back the two drivers I uninstalled? And if I can't is there any way I can fix the problems I have been noticing so far?
If you need anymore information about my computer I will provide them. Thanks in advance

A piece of advice first. An uninstall rarely is necessary to solve problems. You just need to reset preferences by holding down specific keys.
How did you install the first time without disks? Another word of advice on downloaded programs. Burn the setup files to disk for future use.
You may have a mess now if you have various versions downloaded. Uninstall them and download CS4 from http://prodesigntools.com/how-to-get-prior-adobe-software-versions-cs4-cs5.html
Be sure to follow download instructions exactly or you will run into problems.

We want to transfer the music library on our Mac to a second ipad without transfering any other data. we share an itunes account and I just can't figure out how to get the music onto the new pad

Hello friends
We are trying to move our music library stored on the Mac to a second ipad. We have already set up the second ipad and are only interested in getting select music onto the second ipad. When we plug the ipad into the imac and connect to iturnes it wants to set up or restore the second ipad. We're afraid if we do this it will remove all current information on the second ipad. Thanks

Did you ever resolve the iCloud problem.I am in the same position and its driving me mad!!! If you have a link to an solution I would appreciate it.

When typing in the location bar i get a bunch of garbage and can't figure out how to get ONLY the history.

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== always

Hello Carl.
See this article:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Location+bar+autocomplete
I hope it helps. If it doesn't, you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

Can't figure out how to get the patches off of keyboard into logic

I have a pretty old school Yamaha Clavinova CVP-98, in which I have the midi in/out hooked up to my power mac g5 through an USB converter.
I am able to use the yamaha keyboard as a midi to play the software instruments in logic which is awesome, but I am unable to play the patches that I want from the keyboard into logic.
Any ideas would help, I would really appreciate it! Thank You!
(its logic pro 7 by the way, so I am not sure if there is a difference within logic's environment or what not, if that is what I even need to deal with)

To conclude, I am now aware of what midi is, and I am at the stage where I have edited my melody to perfection, yet I am unable to figure out what the next step is to transition this to an audio track. Please let me know what exactly I am to do from here because your input is creating a bigger difference than what you may think from such simple questions. Thank you.
Ok, MIDI is not audio, MIDI is data that "triggers" a synthesizer to produce audio output. Audio is simply what you hear when listening to a CD, DVD, anything out of a speaker, a singer, a band..etc, nature/the universe.
(The "synthesizer" can be hardware like the Clavinova or software like Logic's built in synths, the advantage of software synths is that they do not need to be recorded as audio, their output is already audio within Logic)
Ok, how do you record audio using the Mac. Personally I use an RME audio interface which is a PCI card in the Mac, I also have a 16 channel Presonus Firestudio that I use for portable/location recording. However... the G5 has an "OK" audio interface built in, it's not really professional quality but it will do. You will need to take the Line out of the Clavinova and go into the Mac's line in. You will need the proper audio cable. Not sure what the Clavinova line out is, probably a 1/4" jack, this is not the headphone jack but the jack used to normally plug into an amplifier.
Then with the Clavinova volume set at 50% adjust the Mac's input recording level in System Preferences/Sound.
Once recorded as a wave form, editing is limited (cut/paste...etc).
Also, be aware that MIDI takes up virtually no memory or disk space... stereo audio at CD quality 16-bit/44.1kHz takes approx 10 megabytes of hard disk per minute. Audio is recorded as a file on a hard disk. Most of us use a dedicated hard disk for multitrack audio projects.
I'm going to say this again...all of us that know this stuff put in our time reading the manuals... without reading the manual you are doing yourself, and us an injustice as no matter how much anyone explains to you..... you will only be able to use a few percent of Logic's capabilities.
We all put our dues in, out of respect for this amazing software take some time and read the manuals.
