Mac Mini set-up - how can I do this with a new wireless keyboard

Hi,
I have just bought a mac mini and a mac wireless keyboard. Unfortunately, it appears that to set up the mac mini I need to register a username etc which requires a keyboard. However, to set-up the keyboard I need to get past the set-up screen!
Can anyone suggest how I might solve this problem?
Thanks!

Hi jim or viola,
If you are having issues tranfering your content from your old iPhone to your new iPhone, you may find the following article helpful:
Apple Support: Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device

As for iTunes, you may need to download it manually to your new computer first. You can find the most recent version at the following page:

Regarding text messaging, if I send a message from my iPhone, the reply goes to my ipad, or mini ipad. How can I fix this?

Regarding text messaging, if I send a message from my iPhone, the reply goes to my ipad, or mini ipad. How can I stop this from happening?

Go to Settings/ Messaging/ Send & Receive on each device to set the contact points to be reached at, and to set the "from" address when you start a new message. It sounds like your iPhone might be sending messages out as one thing (e.g. an iCloud address) but set to not receive replies only to your phone number. Make sure you review settings on each device since you may, or may not, want to have them common.

I need to change a photo into a video file in order to post on youtube. How can I do this with my mac?

I need to change a photo into a video file in order to post in youtube. How can I do this with my mac mini?

When I go to import, the choices are :
movies
camera archive
imovie for IOS
imovie for HD
It refuses to import a photo with any of these choices, which is located on the desktop or in a folder. It's a regular .jpg
There are instructions to drag it. I put it there, and it bounces right back. The photo will not stay.
I just need this one picture to go on so I can post a meditation on youtube. It doesn't come from a camera.

It's not a good idea to use a network disk for both Time Machine backups and other things. By design Time Machine will eventually consume all the space on its output disk, which will then cause problem for your other files. I'd store those other files on an external disk connected to the Time Capsule. The problem with that is that Time Machine will only back up files that are local to your Mac. That means that you'll only have one copy of the files on or attached to your Time Capsule.
By the way, you've been misled by poor field labeling on this forum into typing a large part of your message into the field intended for the subject. In the future just type a short summary of your post into that field and type the whole message into the field below that.

Trying to update my software (iPhone and iPad) it says my iTunes software needs to be updated, but it is already is. I try this over and over again. I've already reinstalled iTunes and have shut down and restarted my Mac several times. How can I fix this?

This is what worked:
"In iTunes, I signed out of the store. I exited itunes and restarted it, logged back into the store (with my apple id), then I pulled down the iTunes menu in the menu bar and selected Check for updates.
At this point it said that iTunes 11.1 was available and I'm downloading now " Quoted from a fellow user.
It fixed my problem.

Hi, Unfortunately my Laptop has died (which had my iTunes on it). I want to ensure my music on my iPhone 5 and my iPad Air are backed up. Also, I want to sort my music in the way I used to with iTunes. How can I do this with just these two devices?

Hi, Unfortunately my Laptop has died (which had my iTunes on it). I want to ensure my music on my iPhone 5 and my iPad Air are backed up. Also, I want to sort my music in the way I used to with iTunes. How can I do this with just these two devices, i.e. NO Computer? Can the iCloud help? Why can't I download iTunes (i.e. my library as I saw it on the computer) to these devices? Thanks to anyone who can help me here.

You can change the email address of one's appleID...
I'd recommend changing moms email to yours to get a good backup on the Mac
Then switch mom's back to hers
Then change your account to the same email you used.
I've done something similar when I needed to update my Apple account (one ID changing email addresses and phone)

I HAVE OS X 10.6.4, BUT NEED TO RUN SOFTWARE THAT REQUIRES POWERPC. HOW CAN I DO THIS WITH LION?

I HAVE OS X 10.7.4 (Lion), BUT I NEED TO RUN SOFTWARE THAT REQUIRES POWERPC. HOW CAN I DO THIS WITH LION?

If you are running Lion then you cannot run PPC software. Your computer would have to be capable of being booted by Snow Leopard in order to run PPC software. Or consider upgrading your PPC software or buying replacement software that works with Lion.
What specific Mac model do you have?

It should be like the very first time you synced your phone with I-Tunes. It will notice you haven't synced before and just copy everything from your phone into I-Tunes. It shouldn't delete anything from the phone, at least it never has for me. It just puts a copy of everything into I-Tunes and even if you delete an app for example from your phone and you decide you want it back later, you can just go back into I-Tunes and copy it back over. Hope this helps.

New iPad Air 2 with a persisting blank screen. Support site suggests a restore after turning off 'Find my iPhone' on the device. How can I do this with a blank screen?

New iPad Air 2 (December 2014) with a persisting blank screen. Support site suggests a restore after turning off 'Find my iPhone' on the device. How can I do this with a blank screen?

Thanks JimHdk,
After a little more searching across various online resources I was able to cure it by holding down the home button and the on/off button for 10 seconds to restart it and it all came back with a clear screen.

Im switching email accounts on my itunes account am the computer isnt recognizing purchases made from my other account on the new one (apps). How can I sign in with my new account and get the purchases apps on both accounts?

Im switching email accounts on my itunes account am the computer isnt recognizing purchases made from my other account on the new one (apps). How can I sign in with my new account and get the purchases apps on both accounts?

This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
This is a picture of what it looks like now:

As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
any way to get around that?

- The iTunes backup that iTunes makes included photos in the camera roll. If yo go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices what is the date of the backup? Is it when the photos were on the iPod? You have to restore from that backup.
- What may have happened is that you backup the iPod after you restored the iPod but before restoring from backup. iTunes only keeps one backup and overwrites the previous backup with the changes.

I am using Toast 11 to burn dvd's. With FCP10.1.3 I could go into the FCP shared folder grab the encoded .m2v file and drag it into Toast 11 and author dvd and burn. How can you do this with FCP 10.1.4?

BenB it creates a disc image only and it's not in .m2v. I think it saved it as an Apple Pro Res 422 format instead. The disc image file format will not allow
Toast 11 to create menus etc. Thanks for your help.

I have messages in mail that are color-coded as if by a rule, but I have no rules set. How can I correct this?

The only rule that I ever had in Mail was the default one that color coded messages from Apple blue. I notice that some messages are color-coded brown and I have no rules set at al (hence no rule to turn off.) Some of the messages are related to viewing online magazine, but not all. How can I stop this?

Hi. Thanks for your message.
Well, I understand what you are trying to say but I thought it was easier to categorize in Apple Mail.
On Entourage I just click twice on a sender address, record it on Address book and give it a colour that I previously defined as "Work", "Personal", "Customers", "Suppliers", "Friends" or whatever.
As Apple Mail don't have Address Book as part of it but an outside feature it's very annoying. Of course I am used to use a software and I don't expect now Apple Mail do everything as Entourage but... as someone said it seems Apple Mail stopped in time. The recent version seems the first one ever issued. I hate the way Mail.app handles attachments by placing big chunky previews right in my email. I prefer them to be named attachments listed somewhere else, out of the content of my email. I don't if I can change this via terminal commands? Can you tell me if that is possible?
I don't understand why Apple Mail have lots of plugins instead of a great improvment from the backstage.
I use Apple computers since ever and I love this machines but sometimes I don't understand this lake of improvments.
Take a look at this link:

Of course I don't agree 100% with him but some things are true...
