Just got a new mini mac says it has 10.8.1 loaded saw 8.10.2 but when i down loaded it says it can't be installed on my unit. Why?

Why can't my new mini mac up date to 10.8.2? It came with 10.8.1 and it allowed me to down load the package but will not install it come up with an error msg
something about the drives .

Did you use 'Software Update' to get the 10.8.2 update that is specific to the Late 2012 Mac mini?
If it is not being displayed, you may need to wait a few hours to use 'Software Update' to get this update, as the update that you need is currently not in the 'Support', 'Downloads' section of the Apple website.
This is the link to the update in the 'Support', 'Downloads' section of the Apple website, if you want to check back later: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1603.

    Just got a new imac and my iwork software wont work. I have the serial numbers but after migrating from my old mac running OSX tiger it won't even give me that opportunity. I do not have any discs as this was downloaded. Help

    Hi, hopefully you guys can help me out, I just
    purchased a G5 iMac to replace my aging dell desktop,
    and now i'm more or less completely os x dependant
    (I've had an ibook for a few months now). Anyway, I
    have a few questions:
    1. Does anyone know of a (free) mail notifier tool,
    that will alert me when I recieve new pop3 mail? I
    used to use AIM for this in windows
    The built in email program does sound an alert for new messages.
    2. Anyone know of a good (free, again) IRC client?
    iChat works well.
    3. I noticed earlier that my screen was flickering,
    it seems to have subsided for now, but is that normal
    to encounter in a new display? It wasn't really bad
    flicker, but I could see it.
    No idea.
    4. I leave my desktops on 24/7x365, will that be a
    problem with this iMac? Display shuts off of course
    after 30 mins
    You could set the iMac to go to sleep after non use. My Macs are
    always sleeping when not in use, waking them up takes seconds.
    Unlike windoze, never knew if it would be locked up or not.
    5. Should I get the extended warranty? I'm usually
    against them, but I am expecting this computer to
    last me at least 3 years (for $1300 it better!)
    before I upgrade, as I got that much out of a Dell
    and from what I understand, Mac's do not age nearly
    as fast as Windows pc's.
    It is well worth the cost. Never know what might happen. Also
    it is good insurance for future upgrades. I traded in my G4 tower
    purchased two years ago for 75% of what I paid for it. Apple care
    transfers, giving the buyer the remainder of your warranty.
    Thank you for any help,
    -Evan

    You can have one icloud account and a different itunes account on the phone. I have my icloud account and a shared itunes account. He does not have to use the new icloud account as is ID in itunes and app store. He can keep using the old one.

  • Just got the new 2010 Mac Pro and the Mini DVI ports are dead

    Anyone else having this issue?
    Anyone know if they need to be "enabled" somehow?

    Yes, the adapter does seem to go all the way up to the plastic shell. And the the adapters and displays work fine when driven by either of my MacBook Pros. And there seems to be some sort of connection being made because when the adapter is unplugged, the monitor goes through its typical "I'm unplugged" test mode phases with color screens and so forth, but when I plug it in to the Mac Pro, it goes black.

    What is the best way to set up my new mini? from an Old mini

    You can also connect the two via FireWire and boot the old one in Target Disk Mode.
    An ethernet connection also works. A wifi connection is very slow

  • I had an old ipod touch. I got a new one. All of the music and apps are still on my account, but when I try to sync it the music and apps will not go on to my new ipod touch.

    I had an old ipod touch. I got a new one. I still have all of the music and apps on  my itunes but I cannot sync it to my new ipod.

    Are you sure you have iTunes set up to synch to your new iPod?  The reason I ask is that by default, iTunes will not automatically synch to a new device.  You have to go to the Apps tab and click Synch Apps, and do the same for Music, PodCasts, and so on....

  • Ipod and new mini mac

    I just got a new Mini Mac (intel) and want to upload my iPod to my new computer, the old one died:-( what's a easy (if there is) way? of course with i tunes.
    thanks

    Do you mean as in copying all of your music off of your iPod and onto the Mini? You'll need to buy special software to do that I think. Haven't had any experience myself (yet), but that's my understanding of it. Either that or you could try turning on disc mode and drag and drop your files that way, but again, haven't personally tried it (yet).

  • I just got a new iPhone 5.  The sales person helped me transfer some of my photos from my Mac back to my phone.  Now, my iPhoto on my computer doesn't seem to be working.  Photos are there in photo stream, but I can't transfer them to events.  Help!!!

    I just got a new iPhone 5.  The sales person helped me transfer some photos from my MacBook Pro to the iPhone.  Now, I can't get iPhoto to move photos from Photostream to events.  Help!

    Make sure you have iPhoto's Photo Stream preferences set as follows:
    What happens when you drag photos from the Photo Stream window in iPhoto onto the Events icon in the left hand pane?  That should import the photos into the library.
    If it doesn't thenTry the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - launch iPhoto, reset its various preferences and try again.
    NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • Mail not working in new mini mac

    i got new mini mac and mail not working. i get this message.
    You have Mail version 4.2 (1078/1084). It can’t be used on Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 (Build 10K549). For more information, click the Help button.
    dont know what to do
    thanks

    Should be Mail 4.5.  With Spotlight, check to see if you have more than one version of the Mail app onboard.  Also, make sure that there is one at the root level of the Applications folder, and that it is namely simply Mail before applying the Combo.

  • HELP!  I just got a new HP printer that prints GRAY and FADED COLORS

    I just got a new HP Printer, and all faxes are pure black, all copies are pure black, but anything I send to the printer from my mac prints GRAY and colors are all FADED... I have gone thru all the steps with HP and it seems it is some kind of setting in my mac that I am unaware of... Does anyone out there knows what setting(s) I need to get to in my mac to correct this?

    Hi tydiva, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    When the Print Dialog comes up, click on the Copies & Pages drop down, check settings under those, especially Colorsync & Pinter Settings or Quality.
    Which HP is it?
    When the dialog comes up, print as/save as PDF, does it look the same in preview as the printer?

    I just got a new iphone and want to transfer my contacts from my old iphone, and photographs.  when I sync it has not transfered anything to the new phone.  thanks.

    In iTunes, did you click your  iPhone under "devices" then go through the tabs to set things up?  There's one setting that you need to check to sync contacts.
