Mini to mini migration with one display?

I am upgrading from an ancient (mid 2007!) mini to a brand new mini and wish to move files from the old mini to the new. I only have one display. The strategies on the Apple support page seems to presuppose two displays. I am not sure how to proceed.
Should I: 1. Hook the display to the new mini and use set up or migration assistant and 'blindly' pull the files from the old computer? Or 2. Restore files from time machine? Or 3. Pay Apple to do this for me? Or 4. Buy an additional display?
I am not sure if there are other approaches that I should consider. I am trying to avoid options 3 and 4 if possible to save money.
At this point all that I have done is to remove unwanted files from the old mini to make the move more efficient. I don't want to get caught part way through the migration process and find myself with no working computer.
I would be grateful for any solutions to my problem.

Use the Migration Assistant or Setup Assistant to restore the Time Machine backup.

Imac [plus 2nd display - can you work with one display rotated 90 degrees?

I'm thinking of getting a Dell Ultrasharp 24" monitor to use as a 2nd screen from my iMac 20". The Dell screen seems to rotate 90 degrees so you can view it landscape or portrait. If you're working with 2 displays functioning as one giant desktop, can you rotate the 2nd display 90 degrees, and still use the 2 monitors as a giant desktop?
Any advice much appreciated - thank you!

Leopard has a built-in feature for rotating the display. It's in System Preferences Displays pane. You can select to rotate the image 90, 180, or 270 degrees. It even works for my massive 21-inch CRT that I use with my iMac as the extended desktop, although it would be very difficult to physically use that monitor in portrait orientation.
So what you are describing should work.

Using two mac minis with one display (not 2 at the same time)

Could i install a hdmi or video card on a hp 600 all in one mine did not come with one ?

My hp touchsmart 600 all in one did not come with a hdmi or rca port only coax port.
Could i install one or how could i play my xbox on it? it has a delay that dont let you play the game. help

Hello @kingdavid1977,
I understand that you are looking for a graphics card for your computer. Although I cannot recommend a specific card for you I can tell you this. According to the HP TouchSmart 600-1350 Desktop PC Product Specifications you have an open Mobile PCI Express Module (MXM 3.0) socket available on your computer and as long as you install a card that meets that slot you should be able to get your game console to connect.
I hope this helps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Dual display with one display turned off

I'm having a problem that I cannot figure out...
I run my 21" computer monitor as my primary display. I have my 42" TV as a second display when I play WoW. I'm not running in mirrored mode. The problem I'm trying to resolve is if I decide NOT to play WoW on my TV (leaving the TV off), but rather run it on my 21" primary monitor, the WoW application (when started) is being display on the TV as a extended monitor. How can I bring (drag or otherwise) that application over to my 21" primary monitor without turning on the TV to drag it over?
Thanks for any help...

Just to let you know...When you have two displays hooked up to your computer. The video ram is split between the two monitors, even if you have the second monitor off. When not using the second monitor you might want to disconnect it from the computer so the main monitor uses the full video ram.

Should I get an iPad mini or iPad with Retina Display?

Help! I'm about to start college soon and I was thinking of buying an iPad. Thing is, I'm not sure which one I should get. I'll mainly be using the iPad for eBooks, taking notes, and other class related things. I just want to here some other peoples opinion on which iPad I should get. Should it be the iPad mini or the iPad with Retina Display?
I realize that I could just bring my laptop but I don't want to lug it around and have to carry the charger cords and all that.

Hi,
First, I think the size of the ipad is very individual. Some love the idea of 'put a mini in your pocket and go.' Others want to hang out somewhere and read more easily, watch movies/tv, etc. among other things, on a bigger screen. If you are near an Apple store, you might want to take a trip there and check out what your preference might be.
If money is an issue, as it is for many students or parents with students in college, consider looking in the Apple refurbished store. And this is because more important than the physical size of the ipad, is the AMOUNT OF SPACE you will buy vs. how much space you will end up needing as a college student.
My son got his ipad 2 refurb in the Apple refurb store before he started his junior year in college last year. He thought 32 gb would be more than enough, but some time during the school year, he used about 50 gb of his ipad 2 64 gb which was the way to go. He has to have apps and space for required financial newspapers, pdf's for class, text books, and of course, movies, tv shows, and music, and all that goes with it - netflix, hbo go, mlb, nfl, and other sports apps... The list goes on.
Following is a little more detail from a post I responded to this past week.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22601600?ac_cid=ha123456#22601600
PLEASE NOTE - Whatever you decide - I read about an app last year and my son got it. It allows him to use anything on his imac (in his dorm) on his ipad and it works anywhere on campus. For example. if he's working on a paper on MS Word or Excel on his imac, and he's somewhere else on campus, he can actually work on his paper in its current program, save changes, etc., so he doesn't have to deal with many of the ios apps that sometimes change format and fonts in translation from mac/pc to ipad. wherever he is because pretty much all campuses have wireless. (It works everywhere for him on his big campus except in one classroom.)
However, when I was checking for updates on it the other day, I found one that sounds better than Splashtop. It's now the top paid app in the business in the app store, reviews are great, and for anywhere access does not require a cellular ipad. It's called Jump Desktop and it works with macs and pcs with your ipad.
Hope this helps and enjoy college!

Can I add a sub woofer to my dv7-1245dx if it didn't come with one

I know this laptop is old, about 5-6 years old or so. I have blown one of the speakers in it, and am going to replace it, even though they sound horrible when working, it's better than 1 crackling while you try to watch a movie or something. Since I have to rip the laptop apart for this and another reason, I looked up the woofer that I know was an option for the dv7's, and I have found some I can buy. I am wondering though, since mine didn't come with one, is it just a matter of adding the woofer, or maybe there is no connection to hook it up? Doesn't make much sense to buy one if there is no connector to hook it up to. I know I have room for it, there is a round plastic spacer/cup thing on the bottom of the laptop where the speaker should be pointing out, I just don't know (yet) if there will be a connection for it on my motherboard.

Want to change my16giga byte ipad mini with retina display to the 32giga one because i think its capacity is insufficient. So could i change to 32giga by giving an extra charge. I bought 16giga ipad mini on thanksgivingday, maybe 30. November

If bought directly from an Apple Retail store or Apple Online store, and is still within the 14 day return period Apple Offers you can take it back and get a full refund which you can then use towards buying the other version.
If its already past the 14 day period then you won't be able to return it for a refund no.
If you did not buy it from an Apple Retail store or Apple Online Store you will have to consult with the store you bought it from about their return policies.

Will an iPad mini with retina display connect to a digital projector?

Will an IPad mini with retina display connect to a digital projector for presentations?

Yes, certainly. Depending on the projector's inputs, you'll need one of these adapters:

Why are the apps in the I pad mini with retina display closing randomly

The I pad mini with retina display closes apps randomly . It's annoying me . Does any one has any solution ?

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
Also make sure your iPad has plenty of free space for the iOS to run efficiently. With iOS 7 it is recommended that you have 15-20% of the storage space on the device free. For a 16 GB device that is 2.4-3.2 GB free. For a 32 GB device that is 4.8-6.4 GB free. For a 64 GB device that is 9.6-12.8 GB free.

Safari crashing on iPad mini (with retina display).

I'm a 4 month owner of the iPad mini (with retina display). I really find it really disgusting that Apple knows their Safari (and other browsers Mercury & Chrome) on the iPad without warning keep crashing to the home screen. IOS 7.1. Apple exchanged my tablet for they said a new one? However, as soon as I started using it (an hour later) at home same thing, CRASH CRASH CRASH NO APPS INSTALLED!!! There are reports of the same crashing also on the i5's...
I'm also on the web looking for a tablet replacement that does not require me to buy an app so I can view all flash without have to find a work around...

My iPad mini with retina display has blue edges?!

Similar to what I heard about the new Kindle HDX 7 to my dismay, my iPad mini with retina display that I drove an hour to pickup at the closest Apple store has an extremely noticeable blue tint on the top of the screen. Also ever so slightly on the right hand side. Anyone else have this? Am I being too picky? Will the apple store replace this? I paid Apple's premium price so I feel it should be perfect.

Yeah it's definitely not normal. I was thinking I'm not waiting 5 days for a replacement so I drove an hour back to the Apple store and got a replacement. The Apple employee was very helpful and could clearly see the blue hue. I ended up switching to a white model to change it up, and because they had zero 32gb black models. I love the white it makes it feel totally newer versus my old black non retina mini. So moral of the story, don't settle for blue backlight bleeding. This new one has NONE and I'm 100% satisfied!!

My Ipad Mini with retina display has crashed and will not restart.

My Ipad Mini with retina display has crashed and will not restart.Only the white screen with the apple logo will appear. This comes and goes randomly. I've tried resetting by holding the front and top buttons. I've also tried resetting using itunes. Neither had any effect, The Ipad was a christmas present and only worked for several hours, the apple store can not look at it for another week. Is this a common occurance? I thought apple products were expensive because they never had problems.

Call Apple and explain as it is new. They will go over things to try and fix over the iPad over the phone. If they need to fix it they should send you a new one and you put the old one in thePrepaid return box they send you and send back the defective iPad for no cost. This is what they did with my first iPad 1st gen. I had. Unless they changed their policy you will get the box within a day or two and have your replacement for it the same day.
I hope how they helped me is the same for you. Good luck.
