Itunes / mac mini not seeing ipod

When I plug my ipod into the mac mini (usb) my mac doesn't recognize or see it. That means I can't update any songs on my ipod from my itunes library. I've tried:
- resetting the ipod,
- uninstalling and reinstalling itunes,
- plugging the ipod directing into the usb port on the mini base and the monitor usb port,
- putting the ipod in disk mode and
Still my mac does not see the ipod.
Upgraded to iTunes 7.2 a few weeks ago. It's been working fine the last couple of weeks.
Please - help!!!

All I can think of:
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Mac mini not seeing keyboard

I came home yesterday and my Mac Mini 2012 would not wake up. I did a forced shut down then powered it back up. I got the grey screen with login, but could not enter anything from my Logitech K760 bluetooth keyboard. No messages, just no response. The apple Magic Mouse was working so I shut it down and tried again. Still no keyboard.
Additional Mac Mini info: Intel i7, Samsung 840 SSD, 16GB Kingston RAM. Everything has been in place for over a year with no issues. I have time machine on external FreeAgent GoFlex USB 3.0. It has been 2-4 weeks since any third party software has been added. I do not recall there even being any updates for anything this last week.
Here is a couple observations:
1a. Mac Mini OFF, keyboard ON
1b. Turn Mac Mini ON, Mac Mini acts as if there is no keyboard, but no messages, no errors.
2a. Mac Mini OFF, Keyboard OFF
2b. Mac Mini ON, Keyboard still OFF; Bluetooth Setup Assistant window opens, "There isn't a keyboard connected" says....Looking....
2c. Turn Keyboard on; push button, Make Discoverable; Computer - Keyboard found - ID's Logitech K760; Setup Assistant window closes.
2d. Still no keyboard input; push any key and Keyboard goes into pairing mode.
Notes: Keyboard will pair and work with other devices. I used it to type this up on my ipad. The bluetooth mouse works. Attached a USB keyboard to my Mac Mini with result of no keyboard input.

New Mac Mini not seeing my Apple TV

I just got a new Mini and used the migration assistant to migrate my accounts and files from my old Mac to the new one.
However, when I launch iTunes, my AppleTV is not showing in the left-bar or the Preferences. It used to show and sync just fine with my old Mac (G4 MDD Dual 1.25GHz).
I have the latest update running on the AppleTV (3.0.1) and am running the latest Mac OS (10.6.2) and iTunes (9.0.2). My library is still named the same, since I migrated my old account settings.
Is there anything I need to reset/change for iTunes to see the AppleTV?
P.S. I have "Look for Apple TVs" checked in the iTunes Preferences.
Thanks

Go to your TV menu and reset the synch for the new computer. I had the same problem when I got a new Mini. Not sure if it is due to the new computer or Snow Leopard. Even though the library & network names are the same, seems the TV knows the computer itself is different. Kill the current synch & set up a new one just like you did when the TV was new. You can use the same names. You will get a new pass-code to enter on iTunes when you do. The big negative is everything on the TV is dumped and has to be re-synched. If your library is very large, do it overnight.

How to stream files from Mac Mini HDD to iPod Touch/Android?

Hey guys, I just want to be able to stream videos, music and photos from my Mac Mini to my iPod Touch and Android device.
What's the best app for me to use?
Please help!

Plug the iPod USB connection to the Mac mini and launch iTunes.
Under the "Devices" tab on the left side of the iTunes window you should see your iPod. Click on it and you should be able to find your iTunes Library.
You can pick the entire library to sync just selected items. Videos can also ba added to your iTunes Library and can be loaded onto the iPod. To remove an item just remove the check mark next to it in iTunes.

My battery is not quite flush, but I use mine on soft surfaces (as I'm not supposed to), so I haven't noticed any rocking. Have you tried taking your battery out and trying to get a better fit?

Internal HD on mac mini not well... need to boot in Single User Mode

Internal HD on mac mini not well... need to boot in Single User Mode.
I only have a Bluetooth Keyboard and Bluetooth Mouse so when I try to boot in Single User Mode (to do the /sbin/fsck hard drive fix thing) it doesn't see the Bluetooth Keyboard. What's the solution?
I also used SuperDuper to use as a boot drive but it won't unmount my internal HD. arghh..
Help

I have a corrupt drive and was unable to repair all the errors after booting from OS X installer disk and choosing Disk Utility...
I followed the "boot into single user mode" instructions hoping to complete my repair with fsck, however once I got to the localhost:/ root# prompt, my keyboard seemed to be unrecognized!
I tried 3 different USB keyboards - original Apple USB keyboard, Kensington Mac USB keyboard and an old SGI USB windows keyboard. All were able to enter the apple-S key to get into single user mode but NONE of them were able to type any commands whatsoever.....
I'm thinking my only option is to boot the mini as a target drive off my laptop and try to backup my 30GB of music and photos before wiping the drive...
2nd option might be to try Disk Warrior for $79??
Anyone else have ideas for me?

My mac does not see my printer

my mac does not see my printer

Is the printer physically connected to the computer with a cable, or is it wireless. Did you install the printer drivers from the manufacturers web site, for your specific OS?

Mac can not see any printers.

Mac can not see any printers.
I have 2 other computers (1 windows / 1 Mac Book) using the printers just fine but once device can not even find a printer. Any ideas?
Printer is Ricoh Aficio MP C3501
The computer could not find the printers so I cleared them from system preferences. Updated everything, including downloading the most up to date driver, restarted and still can not see any printers.
Thank you for your help,
Darren D

Hello ddelin,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I realize that two out of your three computers can see your printer, but one MacBook Pro will not. You have also done some great troubleshooting by deleting the printer, installing drivers, and trying to re-add the printer. If the issue continues, I would suggest resetting the printing system. Please use the attached article for more information.
Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X - Apple Support
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
Best regards,
Joe

Mac can not see time capsule

i bought Time capsule over Amazon .Air port works fine , but my mac can not see time capsule,,,sometime does , but most of the time not...
It is a problem with time capsule i have 2 T new generation

You don't mention what type of Mac you have, but is there any way you can move it around to see if that affects the problem? If you hold down an "option" key while you pull down the AirPort/WiFi menu bar item, you should see a value labeled "RSSI" that is the strength of the wireless signal. A value closer to zero is stronger. For example, -30 is decent but -80 is poor.
By the way, you don't seem to have declared any of your system details in your profile or didn't select your details to be included in your post. Those can help people give you correct advice. To update that, click on "Your Stuff" near the top of a window on these discussion groups, then on "Profile". Scroll down to "My Products" and either edit an existing one or add a new one.

When I signed into iTunes, I did not see an update prompt like I normally do for a new update - I went to the download page, but if I start it will it create a whole new iTunes or just update my current version of 11.0.5?

When I signed into iTunes, I did not see an update prompt like I normally have seen for updates in the past. When I went to the download page, it looked like it would download a whole new iTunes? or will it just update the version I currently have, 11.0.5?

Regardless of whether the user utilizes the check for updates features or downloads the update from Apples website, the same process is followed. The existing version of iTunes is uninstalled and the new version of iTunes is installed.

If the Mac use Lion (10.7) you can use Airdrop for that.
With Mac's not using Lion you may set up a computer to computer (ad hoc) connection.
