IPad sync fails on new Mac Mini

Im trying to get my iPad 1 to sync with a new Mac Mini, but whenever I choose "transfer purchases" it gets stuck at "waiting for sync to start." I've restarted all sorts of things and tried to sync both over wifi and USB. It simply won't start, and I've tried for a couple days. I even tried erase and sync, but it still wouldn't start the process. Any ideas?

No ideas on this one?

Why dosen't my i-pod sync to my new mac mini?

Hello everyone - I am sure the answer to this is pretty simple. But then so am I. Hence the request for help.
I had my i-pod sync'd to an i-mac at my old job. I have since gone freelance and bought a little mac mini to run things from.
However - when I try to sync from the new mac mini my i-pod isn't found - scan for device dosen't find it. I have tried a reset of i-sync but still nothing.
Is there something I can do so the new mac 'finds' my i-pod?
Hope that makes sense.
Thanks to anyone who can help

If you are using iTunes 4.8 or later, iSync is not involved in transfering your contact and calendaring records to an iPod - iTunes alone is responsible for this process.
Setting up to sync your iPod
If you do not have iTunes 4.8 or later installed on your computer, you can use iSync to transfer the contact and calendar information on your computer to your iPod. Before you can use iSync with your iPod, you need to add your iPod to iSync by following the instructions below. You need to do this only once.
If you have iTunes 4.8 or later, you use iTunes to transfer contacts and calendars to your iPod. For more information, open iTunes (in your Applications folder), and choose Help > "iTunes and Music Store Help."
To add your iPod to iSync:
1. Make sure you have the latest iPod software installed. Choose Apple menu > Software Update to see if there are any iPod software updates available.
2. Connect your iPod to your computer using the cable provided with your iPod.
3. Open iSync.
4. Choose Devices > Add Device, then double-click the iPod in the Add Device window.
An iPod appears in the iSync window.

Itunes delete my music in my iPhone 4 iOS 6.1 I'm new mac mini

ahen connect a iphone 4 ios 6.1 to new mac mini all of my music vidoe was delete , after i sync to the new mac mini , how can i restor , i did a bucup.

I'm having similar issues just lately. The phone itself is very slow to respond to the touch, just scrolling between home screens is a chore at times. There have been about 2 incidents of random vibration from it. Closing home screen folders takes a couple of attempts. I find that I'm also having delayed keyboard responses when typing messages to my contacts.
Also, sometimes when I press the sleep/wake button it takes about 30 seconds to register it and actually lock or wake up.
Have you experienced the backlight failing to light up? Like if I get a message it flashes up then goes black straight after and when you press the sleep/wake or home button it lights up again but very very dimly and you have to press the sleep/wake button as if locking it and then press it again to bring the screen up properly?
Mine is also on 6.1.3(10B329), model MD245B/A, obviously not Jailbroken, carrier unlocked from Vodafone (but that was months and months ago). Roughly 17gb of storage space left.
This has only started happening in the last 2 weeks. Haven't tried the reset or anything yet though.

How can i sync my iTunes library from my iPhone with my new mac mini

Recently my hard drive failed on my mac mini. I had burned a bunch of CDs on the old mac mini and then sync'd it with my iphone. Now the CDs are on my iphone but not on the new mac mini. How can I sync my itunes library from my iphone to my new mac mini?

The iphone is not a backup device.
You need to copy everything from the backup copy of your computer computer to your new one.

New Mac mini won't recognize iPhone or iPad w/o cord

My new Mac Mini doesn't seem to want to sync with my iPad 2 or my iPhone 4s without plugging them into the mini with a cable. Why is this, and can I change some settings to make it recognize them without a cable?

Upgraded to Lion a few months ago, and work remotely from home using Timbuktu Pro which I've used for years.Have been using Lion for the past few months without problems. In the past few weeks if the remote computer, a mac mini (at my office) is not accessed, the screen appears to be gray when viewing remotely and I cannot wake it up. Energy saver preferences are set to wake up with network access, never go to sleep, keyboard is an Apple USB as well as USB mouse. I had used a bluetooth mouse & thought that might be the issue, so I disconnected it at the end of the day although Bluetooth is still on. Tried disconnecting an external drive (USB) but that didn't make a difference. The only way it will wake up is if someone at the office physically clicks the mouse a few times, then it wakes up. I've tried sending a fax to the remote computer as the office fax machine is connected to the remote computer; the fax is received as it shows up in the Dropbox, but that doesn't wake the mac mini. Very puzzled as all worked well until a few weeks ago. Display has not been changed (DVI), have not added new peripherals although I do have a powered hub connected to the remote computer which I haven't tried disconnecting. Bottom line is that nothing has changed other than Lion upgrades. As so many people are having a problem, I suspect this is a Lion issue. The remote mac mini is approximately 2 years old. I upgraded the RAM about 6 weeks ago to 8 GB (Crucial) and haven't tested that, but it was working fine after the RAM upgraded until recently.

I recently purchased new Mac Mini with Lion installed. Now I can't get iTunes to sync iCal from my iPod Touch (3rd gen) to my Mini.

I recently purchased a new Mac Mini with Lion installed. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes. Now I can't get iTunes to sync iCal from my iPod Touch (3rd gen) to my Mini. Everything else syncs great, and iCal syncs from my Mini to my Touch. My Touch has the latest iOS installed. I have tried rebooting my Touch, removing the sync calendars option from iTunes>Info and checking it again after applying and closing iTunes, and restarting my Mini. Any help will be appreciated!

HT1695 How do I link my iPad to my new Mac mini?

I cannot seem to link my iPad to my new Mac mini. My iPhone worked automatically but not my iPad.

Did you create a new iTunes account or update the old one ? If you updated the old account then you can tap on it in Settings > Store and log out of it and then log in with the updated version and it should get 'refreshed' on the iPad.
If you created a new account then you can still log out of the old account and log in with the new one, but any content bought/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that account (so only that account will be able to download its content or app updates).

Flags won't sync from ipad (latest gen) over to mac-mini iphoto

Does anyone know how to sync photo flags set within iphoto of the iPad to iphoto of the mac-mini?

Oy, I didn't realize that was necessary if the movies were already in an accepted format. 200+ movies converting now... thank you.

Bootcamp will no longer boot after deleting partition #3 of my new Mac Mini. What happened? Was it the way I tried to reclaim the HDD space for Mac?

Here's my dilemma. I have a new Mac Mini - a week old. I installed Windows 7 on it using Mac's Bootcamp assistant. I then set up and configured my Windows 7 world and everything worked fine. No issues logging in between Lion or Win7 via the restart/option key procedure. Well, yesterday I split my Mac HD partition one more time to create a third partition (was created as an "extra", e.g. possible future partition for another operating system). After creating it, I then decided that I didn't really need it. So I deleted it in Disk Utility and attempted to drag the Mac HD partition line downward so as to "fill in the gap" and reclaim the lost hardrive space. It seemed as if I could reclaim about 1 gig or so, but I figured...oh well.
Well, the Mac HD partition seems to work just fine, but now I've noticed that I can't get into the Bootcamp partition anymore. It wont boot. If I try to verify the partition [doesn't even give me "repair" as an option), then it fails and gives me the following error message: "verify volume failed. invalid request." When I go to the Startup Disk option in my System Preferences section, it displays the bootcamp partition as a folder and not as a drive anymore.
I'm assuming that I messed up some permissions or lost some vital links during my attempted resizing/reclaiming of harddrive space. How do I fix this without having to reload either all of my Mac info or all or my Win7 info? I'd hate to consider the last two days of my life loading this crap up a complete loss.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for checking in, BDAQua.
Problem solved.
In the docs that came with my Powerlogix accelerator card, I found this sentence buried:
"If you reset the PRAM, the NVRAM code for OS9 compatibility is cleared, so you will have to boot from the Firmawre Update CD and perform this process again in order to boot in OS9."
The "process" it's referring to is the process of setting up the NVRAM for booting into OS9 from the CD.
Fortunately, I was able to find the disk, and it worked as expected. I can now, once again boot into OS9.
Conclusion: My (unadvised) attempt to load Leopard on this old machine apparently reset the PRAM on the accelerator card and cleared the NVRAM code for OS9 boot. Although I did attempt to reset the NVRAM via Open Firmware, it did not reset it on the accelerator card.
So, thank you BDAQua, for your "Ah yes" . . . that's all I needed to steer me in the right direction.
Gratefully,

IPhoto - crash on startup on brand new mac mini

Hi
Just bought a new Mac Mini, ran migration assistant to move all my files over to the new machine. My iPhoto library is stored on an external hard drive.
Every time I launch iPhoto on the new Mac, it immediately crashes.   The first 30-40 lines of the crash report is below. I have deleted and reinstalled iPhoto with and without the external hard drive connected, no change in result.    Any advice would be appreciated.

Try reinstalling iPhoto from the App Store. You may have to move iPhoto to the Trash bin in the Dock (but don't empty yet), go to the App Store and download and install it again.
If that doesn't help you'll need to boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down) and reinstall the system.
Lastly you have 90 days of free phone support from Apple so if all else fails call them.

New Mac Mini will not recognize bluetooth keyboard

I just bought a new mac mini, and the apple keyboard. I can see the welcome "Use english" screen, and I press ENTER on the keyboard but nothing happens! I know the keyboard is not the problem becuase I tested it on my iPad and it worked. I've un-paired it with my iPad and tried again and nothing happens. The trackpad pointer is visible but it does not recognize a CLICK.....WHAT CAN I DO ???? (I don't have a wired keyboard or mouse to hook-up to it )

yeah, it works on my ipad with no problem. I've re-booted too. I'm thinking the only way is with a hard wired keyboard to get it booted.

Wireless apple keyboard not pairing at set up of new mac mini

i have just purchased a new mac mini and wireless keyboard and trackpad. i am trying to setup my mac mini but the keyboard does not pair. i have tried replacing the batteries. but as i am new to macs i dont have much of a clue. the trackpad connects fine.

I had this same issue when I purchased my Mini. Unfortunately, the initial setup of your wireless keyboard requires a wired keyboard. I don't recall where I found this information, but it may have been in the manual for the Mac wireless keyboard. I purchased a Mac wired keyboard from Fry's Electronics to log in and sync the wireless keyboard and returned the wired keyboard later that day.
