Old Unopened AppleCare for Mini w/display

Hi folks,
I have a 3 year old Applecare/with display sealed box that my wife forgot to activate on time.
Is it still valid for a new generation Mini?
Thanks

Applecare for Mini

Is it worth it to get the applecare plan for the mini? Are there enough problems with a mini that the Applecare will pay off? Thank you in advance.

The simple answer to your question is no, there aren't enough general problems and failures for you to know that Applecare would pay off, but that doesn't mean it isn't a good idea because in essence Applecare is nothing but an insurance policy that you take out 'just in case' something happens. Like any of the same kind of thing, they take in more than they pay out, meaning that statistically you'd be on the loosing side of the deal, but there's always a chance that after the 1 year warranty has expired, your mini will suffer some hardware issue and Applecare will pick up the tab, almost any such event then putting you on the winning side of the equation.
Personally, I've never had a Mac fail in a way that would have given me an opportunity to use Applecare, but there are those who have had laptop screens, logic boards, optical drives, video cards, hard drives, etc, replaced under Applecare - even sometimes multiples of these things - and for whom it has paid off big time!
You have to consider your situation, the cost and what you think the risks are. But don't forget that you can buy Applecare right up until the 1 year warranty expires, so unless you're at that point already, you have time to make your mind up.

Applecare for Displays

Good news and heads up - Apple is now selling Applecare for it's displays independent of purchase with a system. So, if you purchased your Apple Display separately and it is still within the one year warranty, you can purchase Applecare for it. The plan is $99 ($79 for Education Customers). It will extend the display's warranty and phone support to three years.

Call: 1-800823-2775 and ask for Applecare for Displays MA358LL/A
(or) you can order on the web through the Apple Store.
(or) Smalldog Electronics has the package at $79 for everyone. It is presently listed as backordered.

My thuderbolt display is 3 weeks old which I'm using as display for my mac mini. I no longer get the display on but can hear the sound. Please suggest.

Make sure the mini-displayport/TB plug is fully seated. It may look fully plugged in but isn't.
Make sure the Displays system preferences has an Arrangement tab. No Arrangement means the monitor is not being detected.
Do a smc reset.
If none of this works I suggest you take it back to apple (along with your mini).

How can i use my old iMac as a extended desktop display for my new iMac?

I recently purchased a 21.5 in iMac and wanted to use my old iMac as a extended desktop. My new iMac has thunderbolt and USB 3.0 connections while my old iMac has firewire (400 and 800), USB 2.0 and mini-DVI. Is this posible?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If your iMac has got Mini-DVI, you have a 17, 20 or 24-inch iMac that doesn't support Target Display. Late 2009 and Mid 2010 27-inch iMacs, and iMacs with Thunderbolt can be used as external displays. Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
If your old iMac doesn't support Target Display mode, you can use ScreenRecycler to use your old iMac as an extended display for the new iMac. The only thing you need is that both Macs are connected to the same network

Can I use my rusty old 2006 iMac as a second display for my new 2012 iMac? How do I keep one computer from trying to take over the other one? thank you.

Try ScreenRecycler, the 2006 does not support display input.

Ipad Mini Replacement and wanting to purchase AppleCare for the replacement

I have sent my iPad mini for repair of the screen and will be getting the replacement. Can I purchase AppleCare for this replacement once I register and receive it?
Thank you.

I don't think AppleCare+ is available for replacement devices, but to be sure you should aks Apple directly for an accurate answer.

Extender for Mini Display Port. Need help.

I am running a setup with a 30m optical extender for DVI. I have just upgraded to the 8-core Mac Pro with 27" display which uses mini-display port. But that will give me maximum 1920x1200 resolution that is way too low for the 27" and I have to buy a converter from mini-display port to DVI.
Is there any available extender cables for mini display port (30 meter)?

that will give me maximum 1920x1200 resolution
To go higher than 1920 wide, you need Dual Link.

A WORTHY CHOICE - APPLECARE+ FOR IPAD MINI OR A MILITARY STANDARD IPAD MINI CASE

Hi,
Can anyone tell me which option will be a worthy choice in terms of overall economical gain - an applecare+ for iPad mini or a MIL-STD-810F certified iPad mini case?

iCloud is designed to maintain app specific content (documents in Pages, for example), synchonization of some information (contacts, Notes) and to back up the iOS device.It will not serve you well as an "in the cloud" hard drive.That isn't its intent.And you cannot run applications from it.
Any app or itunes item you purchase can be deleted from the iPad and re-downloaded at any time (assuming internet connectivity, of course), from thier respective stores. But, any data stored will be lost when you delete the app.
For data, you can use cloud based service such as DropBox (within some limts).
Games will vary greatly in size, but will be far smaller than video files.On a 16gb ipad, 6 movies might be pushing it, but you could probably mange 4 or so.
The price difference between 16 and 32Gb is I beleive about £80. You might be better of saving up a bit before making that purchase. The only otehr options (such as external Wifi enable hard drives for media) will run you considerably more than that.

I'm in need for a thunderbolt display before December. My old Imac is like new (don't want to invest in a new Imac yet). Can I connect the thund-D to the old Imac via USB for the time being?

Their are some display adaptors you can get. I have an older Mac Pro with DVI but my monitor is a Thunderbolt Display. This used to be around $250. It is way cheaper now.

Are you trying to use the phone in Bahrain with a supported carrier there? I suspect not. If you try to use this phone outside of Bahrain, you won't have FaceTime. This is done to prevent folks from simply crossing the border to purchase iPhones in Bahrain...FaceTime is banned in Saudi Arabia & the UAE. Sorry, but you'll only have FaceTime on that phone while using it in Bahrain on a supported carrier's network there.

HT5691 AppleCare for an old macbook pro

it is winter 2014 now, i am planning to buy a mid 2012 macbook pro 15 in. do you think i can still buy applecare for it? I cant check if my mac is eligible yet because i don't have the serial number. I ordered it from amazon.

Best way to check is with the serial number. If it is a NEW computer, then you should be able to. If it is a USED computer, then chances are slim.
My recommendation: Call AppleCare once you get your computer and give them the serial number. Make sure you have your confirmation of Purchase as well.

Mac mini portable display options

Pretty certain by reading through every forum in the world that the iPad cannot be used as a reliable primary monitor for the new Mac Mini.
Soooooo....
Can I use one of those USB touchscreen monitors like the Toshiba or Mimo as the ONLY monitor on the Mini?
I'll use the Mini at home with regular a regular monitor and input devices, BUT I'd really like to use the Mini also for Mainstage with just a small 10"-12" portable monitor. The only monitors I can find are those brands I mentioned (which are both USB) and though they SAY they're Mac-Compatible, that doesn't necessarily mean that the Mini can use ONLY a USB monitor for the primary display.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Stewart

I can confirm that the Mimo can NOT be used as the only monitor. I don't think any USB monitor can be used as the only monitor, even the USB video adapters.
I remember a Japanese guy had modded a old Mac Classic, put a 9" LCD and a Mini, lining up the Mini's Superdrive with the floppy slot. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find any sources for small monitors. That was a while ago. A quick Google now shows some 7" and 10" monitors:

http://www.gasgoo.com/auto-products/audio-navigation-540/1251430.html
(I have never ordered from any of them and I am not endorsing either. Caveat emptor.)
How small of a monitor do you want? You may be able to find 15" non-wide screen LCDs for really cheap.

Those are new, but somebody locally may have them cheaper (or free. ) While not the most portable, hard to beat the price if you can find someone upgrading and throwing away their old monitor.

Mac-mini "detect displays" where is the individual model's DDC info stored?

I have a dilemna- I just bought a new 20" NEC LCD screen that has all sorts of bells and whistles. It's 1600 x 1050 native, and has DVI, analog VGA, YUV, compostie, and RF inputs. It is supposed to have a scalar that supports a multitude of resolutions including 1920 x 1080i.
I bought it for a system of which has (2) mini-macs through a DVI KVM. I had one mini-mac successfully read the DDC info from the montior, and it provides a wide range of supported resolutions (including 1600 x 1050). All resolutions listed are progressive (no interlaced options)
When I switched my KVM to the 2nd mini-mac it was stuck in 1024 x 768, and that was the highest res that the display preferences gave me (probably because that's what it read off the DDC of the KVM switch?). When I hit the "detect displays" button, it proceeded to update the list of supported resolutions, but a very bizzarre thing happened: It did the opposite of the first mini-mac, and only listed "interlaced" video resolutions (with the exception of 1280 x 720p and 640 x 480p). The list was all 'broadcast-style" resolutions.
The profile for this montior on this mini-mac is now stuck in this mode, and I cannot get the desired 1600 x 1050 resolution that is native to the monitor. I've tried everything I could think of including ditching plists, clearing the PRAM, tricking the mini-mac, etc....
It's almost as if a mini-mac stores a registry of the monitor's DDC information onto the video card 'permanently' the first time, and never allows to re-read the DDC info again???
Does anyone know how to clear this registry?
The other clue to this whole thing is that the monitor has an option where you can set the DVI IN to either "DVI-PC" or "DVI-HD". The fussy mini-mac displays nothing in "DVI-PC" mode, and the behaving mini-mac displays in both modes. It's possible that the monitor was in "DVI-HD" when I hit the "detect displays" button on the fussy mini-mac.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Wow, I wish I had your set up to play with. I could probably learn a lot from it
When DDC is read by the Mac, and when users make resolution settings based on it, the resultant settings are stored in a file called com.apple.windowserver.plist. There is one such file in /Library/Preferences but there may also be occurances of it for each user account on machines set up for multiple users AFAIK. They are plain text files so you can actually read them with TextEdit or other text editors.
The simplest thing to do might be to copy the file from the mini giving the desired behavior and use it to replace the file on the mini with the bad behavior. I don't think there is any machine specific info in the file, so I believe the file should be portable in this manner. On the other hand, this may not work because when you restart the misbehaving mini it might regenerate a "bad" windowserver.plist file again and replace the one you just copied over. Although I don't think that will be the case. Can't hurt to try. You might want to keep the older pref file around and rename it to "preferences.old". There is a procedure outlined here that is similar although it is based on doing everyting from starting into console mode:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106464
As for why one mini is reading EDID one way and the other reads altogether something else, that's a really good question and one that I hope you are able to track down the answer to and report your findings back here. It could provide a lot of insight into other types of problems people have reported on this forum. Perhaps it relates to the DVI-PC or DVI-HD setting you refered to, but I have never known any other display that actively changed its EDID. EDID is always fixed I thought. Good luck and let us know how things turn out.

my ipad mini retina display is disabled because my blue tooth key board made number key entries while in my back pack. How do I re-enable?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
 Cheers, Tom
