My new mac mini doesn't have upper dock?

You appear to be confusing Macs and iOS devices. The Mac mini does not run on iOS 4, if new, it has Mac OS X 10.6.x Snow Leopard.
You should sort out the profile that you show so we know what devices you have with which proper OS and then be much more explicit about what the problem is.

HT4410 I have a new mac mini, do I have enough space to download Windows 7, and can I just download the software or purchase a disc?

I have a new mac mini, do I have enough space to download Windows 7, and can I do it through online purchase or disc? My bootcamp assistant mentions using a USB flash drive???

Yes you do have enough storage, you only need let's say 10GB to properly install Windows with a few (very small) programs. You'd be best of just going to a store and buying a Windows 7 install DVD (not an upgrade one!), or using one that you might have laying around at home. You can also purchase Windows 7 via the Microsoft online store and than burn it to a DVD. It is possible that installing from a USB-drive works, but I have not tried this yet.

Use an external optical drive such as Apple’s USB SuperDrive.

HDMI to TV as Display for New Mac Mini DOESN'T WORK

I bought a new Mac Mini and was told I could us HDMI to my TV as display.   I was using this TV as display for older Mac Mini (VGA) and for a Windows PC, and DVD via HDMI.     TV is one year old.
The Genius at the store who sold me the new mini said all I needed was an HDMI cable.   Which I purchased.
The screen comes up for the Setup Assistant but as soon I select continue is goes to gray, mixed color scanning garbage mode.    If I turn the TV off and back on, the screen returns (now at the next prompt in the setup assistant) but again it goes gray after hitting continue.    Unusable, CANNOT set up my new purchase.
Unfortunately, the DVI to VGA adapter on my old mini is different and doesn't mate to the HDMI to DVI adapter that ships with new MacMini, so I can't test VGA.   The old DVI to VGA has extra pins not on the new one.
My purchase is not usable and is extremely poor.   Buyer beware I guess.

I have been using MacMini's for commercial digital signage/video conferencing gateway usage for sometime now, they all have HDMI output, about one third are on Lion the others still on Snow Leopard, here's what I have found.
Toshiba & LG tv's are generally reliable, Samsung and Philips generally are not, Panasonic, Sony, Sharp & Viewsonic all work, somtimes with a bit of work from me.
Cables are important (always look for compatibility with HDMI revision 1.3 or greater (1.4 preferred), don't waste your money on exotic brands, adhere to the distance limitations, I generally send the HDMI signal wirelessly (cost of labor to add wiring to an existing space can be very high) so am limited to less than 50ft, same as with a wire.
READ THE TV MANUAL, find out what HDMI choices your tv possesses, is there a 'parallel' audio input available for the times when your signal origin is a MDP or DVI.
Some TV's just don't work well, cut your losses and get another when faced with this issue.

New Mac Mini doesn't recognize airport card

I have a new mac mini, leopard, 1.8G c2duo, and have finally resolved some display issues. Now it doesn't recognize my airport card. Ideas?

If the airport card doesn't appear in the System Profiler (select 'About this Mac' in the Apple menu, then click the 'more info' button, then click 'Airport Card' down the left hand side) then the mini likely has a hardware problem and would be in need of repair/replacement. On the other hand, if the Airport Card shows up there, the system clearly can see the card, but it then means there is likely a problem with MacOS or a setting - in which case if you could describe the symptom (ie, where it is you are not seeing the card) then it may be possible to resolve.

A new Mac Mini seems to have a very quiet constant squeaking sound, is this normal?

Hi everyone,
I just purchased a brand new Mac Mini (i5) yesterday, and today in my very quiet room noticed that there is a very quiet squeeking sound coming from the unit (I believe it is near the front of the machine, opposite where the ports are). It is constant and changes pitch very slightly - but when there is a chirping noise from the hard-drive doing work, I think it stops then comes back straight after.
Any idea's if this is a problem and if I should be worried? It's just a bit annoying.
I have the latest 2013 i5 model.
Thanks everyone,
John.

If you purchased the full AppleCare service support extended plan with automatic enrollment with the Mini computer, and you get a new one (or refurbished) ask that the Plan coverage be moved to the replacement Mac. Or refunded if you choose to wait & want to re-think your next product. They may be able to re-credit your method of payment, if a credit card.
I usually read through the product support discussion forums to see what the patterns of issues are, since that may be an indicator of a sort within a narrow specific build series model & sub-year version; and am watchful of graphic card problems in models where the parts may be difficult or costly to replace, if at all, later on.
At least with a Mini, you can choose several display adapters and hope to get a good match with whatever kind of display or digital TV you may wish to try & use as a screen. Some don't do all that well, & others do better.
Good luck & happy computing!

Mac Mini Doesn't have sound

I reinstalled Mac OS X Snow leopard on my Intel Core Duo Mac Mini and it doesn't have sound anymore, the softwar is all up to date. any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks.

Have you done a PRAM reset, CMD+Option+p+r...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
In fact, do 3 in a row, takes a bit of time.
Long shot, but...
Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there, some things will change it for their own use, then not set it back.

How do I install Photoshop Elements 10 on my new mac that doesn't have a disc drive?

Help! I have an old imac that has Photoshop Elements 10 installed on it. I bought a new imac that does not have a disc drive. How do I uninstall/reinstall on my new computer??? Is there a way besides having to purchase a disc drive?

John
Thank you for working this through with me.
Okay, so I'm going to describe the step-by-step following of the instructions [which I thought I had done before ]. If you see where I'm making an error can you point it out to me.
1. I clicked on the link in your post of May 13 which took me to a page called "Direct Download Links for Adobe Photoshop/Premier Elements 10". I have basic Elements, not Premier and I need to get PSE 10 onto a Mac, which the site says I will only need a "single .dmg file for each program". Then I
2. logged in to the Adobe account ( required by instructions ) set up when I bought the disc version last August.
3. I turned "cookie control" to accept all; having a Mac I have no antivirus software nor any firewalls
4. I "clicked here to visit this page" in the instructions .........BUT ............ that took me to a PSE 11 download page, not 10
5. That dropped a .dmg called "AdobeDownloadAssistant.dmg" into my downloads box.
6. I opened the .dmg file, which took me to a window with an "Install Adobe Download Assistant" folder icon which
7. I opened. I was asked if I wanted to download it from the internet; I clicked "Open"
8. Another window opened; its message said "The same version of the application you opened already exists on this system. Would
     you like to run the version already installed?".
     A. Because I used the same Adobe i.d. when I tried the download on the Air as I used when I created the Adobe account on the
     MacBookPro I wondered if Adobe thinks the PSE10 on my older MacBookPro is on the newer Air. I did check the Applications
     listed in the Air's Finder and PSE 10 was not there although I had tried to install it earlier today before my first post on this matter
     in this forum.
     B. Given the above, I clicked on a "Run Now" option in the window mentioned in the first line of # 8 here and it
9. Took me to a Adobe Download Assistant window with a message "Make the most of your trial " referring apparently to 11
     when what I want to put onto the Air is the 10 I bought last August. I did check the registration on Adobe's site of the purchase
     of 10 last August and it showed everything correctly, including "mul" which I took to mean I could put it on multiple laptops.
     Maybe !
10. I was aksed in that box to choose my level of familiarity with photo editing software and I chose the middle one.
11. I also noticed in the bottom third of that box a blue download bar which got "stuck" at about 2/3 done. The yellow triangle with
     an exclamation point inside was followed by this message : "Error downloading this product (Error 109). Check you network
     connection or destination disk. You can also uses the "Reset product download" button. My network connection was full bars
     the whole time.
     Given that there was an error message - that the download was not complete - that explains my surprise in # 8 above that
     "the download already exists........". That can't be given the error message I quoted in # 11.
12. There is/was no "Reset download button" to be seen so I cllcked on an 'x' by it and it closed the stalled download bar.
And, after all this voluminous [sorry] activity that's where I'm stuck.
No PSE 10 on the Air
Can't d/l a trial of 11, even if I wanted to.
Extremely frustrating.
Adboe's website does not appear to offer any contact with an Adobe person to solve this other than paying $39, which does not seem right.

My new mac mini doesn't detect my wireless keyboard and mouse from logitech

I recently bought the Logitech MK550 wireless keyboard and mouse combo for my late 2014 Mac mini. Basic functions work, however, when I try to add the keyboard and mouse in the System Preferences it can't find either one. So right now I have this great big keyboard that I can only use about half it's full functionality and an unassigned button on the mouse. Any ideas? Also, I would like to add an apple remote to my mini. I have one from my old iMac. Is this possible?

Try resetting the SMC.
Question #2 - I have no idea.

Mac mini doesn't have preinstalled apps?

according to this link:
http://www.apple.com/mac-mini/built-in-apps.html
a mac mini is supposed to have a number of apps preinstalled. From that link all I have is Safari, Mail and Books. When I go to the app store most of them cost $$. I had posted about this earlier but apparently the thread closes if you hit "solved my problem." I guess I jumped the gun on that. Is there any way to get those apps from the store without paying for them (if indeed they are supposed to be on the mini).
Thanks

When did you purchase the Mini?
Some app like iWorks were only free for computers first activated after about Oct 2013.
Also, have yo sent to the Mac App Store and singed into the account that yo used to initially set up the Mini and then go to the Purchased section?

How do i burn an iMovie project to DVD on new mac that doesn't have IDVD? (new mac user)

Hi All,
Please help, im very new to the MAC world but as all my collegues use them and worship the ground they walk on i jumped ship. During this process i offered to produce my friends wedding DVD, i had three cameras and have chopped it all together and found Imovie really easy to work with. My problem now is after reading the forum IDVD no longer exists (although confusingly the export to IDVD is still on the software.
I am left with a wonderful wedding DVD that i cant get onto a DVD. please help my friends have watched their video on computer but it would be nice to get it onto some proper DVD with a title menu ETC and a case.
as mentioned above im very new to MAC so be nice lol.
Thanks in advance
Nick

There is free open source software called Burn that will burn DVDs. Here is a link.
And here is a post from Creative Techs describing how to use Burn.
If you wish to pay for software, there are many options, including TOAST TITANIUM from Roxio. Apple's retail copy of iLife 11, and Apple's Compressor.
Of these, I would say that iDVD is known for being able to create very professional looking DVDs with intros, menus, lots of interesting templates. It is no longer sold by Apple, but you can find it on sites like Amazon and eBay as part of the iLife 11 retail package. The iDVD application has not been updated since 2006, so past versions back to iLife 06 should work.
Toast is much simpler and the menus and templates are more plain. But it does a good job, and can provide other functions as well, such as burning a BluRay disk.
Compressor is a professional tool that does a lot more than make DVDs. Don't expect much in the way of menus or templates, but it is useful for creating a DVD of a single movie. It can also create a BluRay playable disk.
Burn can make a simple DVD, but does not have the menu flexibility or the templates of iDVD. If you only need to make a one-off DVD, Burn is sufficient and free. If you make a lot of DVDs, get one of the paid packages.
Each software package is a little different, but in general, in iMovie, you can use the SHARE menu to SHARE/MOVIE in Large size. Save the movie to your desktop or someplace you can easily find it. Then drag it into the tool of your choice. You can also use SHARE/MEDIA BROWSER/LARGE if you have iDVD or Toast.
I very rarely make DVDs anymore, because I make my videos in high definition. With any DVD software, your movie will be reduced to standard definition and will look pretty bad on most large screen TVs. I have to remind myself that many people still have small TVs.

How can I connect a new mac mini to my old vga monitor? There doesn't seem to be a mini display port

I have an old monitor with VGA port, and was wondering if anyone knows how to connect this to the new mac mini. Older mac minis have the mini display port, and if that were the case I would use the mini display port to VGA adapter, but this new mac mini doesn't have one. It just has the thunderbolt port or HDMI port for displays... I've been looking for an adapter to connect my display to one of these but cannot seem to figure it out. Any advice? Thanks in advance.

The Thunderbolt port is the one to use; you use the same mini-DisplayPort adapter you used for the older minis.
Regards.

If I have an old disk with iWork 08, how can I download it on my new Mac Mini?

My new mac mini doesn't have a disk drive, so I'm not sure what to do. Will it still work on Mountain Lion?

You can certainly try disk sharing.
Don't you have a Flash drive or external Hard Drive? That would be the simplest.
The DVD is not crucial to the installation, only the installer on it. I keep mine on a dedicated installer passport HDD along with all my other software, their serial numbers and purchase info and the updates to those.

New Mac Mini+Superdrive+windows 7 - Will it work?

Looking at updating my father to the Apple world, thought I would get him a Mac Mini, and use Bootcamp to install Windows. As the new Mac Mini doesn't have an optical drive (I have a MacBook Air Superdrive), if I use the external one to install Windows, will it install properly? Does the Mac Mini have the drivers for the SUperdrive? Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
