Registration Troubles with new mini

I just got a new macmini 1.83 with 1g ram bundled from a Apple retail store.
When I tried to register online the serial number was not accepted. I had to imput the product number as a temp number. Anyone else having the same Problems with new minis?

If it's a very recently built computer, it may take a week or two for the serial numbers in Apple's online database to catch-up. If you call AppleCare Support in the U.S., there's an option for AppleCare issues that are not technical support about your computer. Those folks can register it for you by going directly to their database.

Having trouble with iPad mini doing things on its own 2014 anybody got any results

Having trouble with iPad mini doing things on its own bought dec 2013 been great up until two weeks ago then it types on its own moves between apps flicks pages in my book. Does anyone know how to fix this.?

Probably a hardware problem. Call a Apple Support or take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

I am having trouble with new I-Phone 4 battery running down in 5 hrs.? Help.

I am having trouble with new I-Phone 4 battery running down in 5 hrs.? Help.

Do you have alot of apps running in background? Tap home key 2 times and there's a list across screen with icons you can deselect them by hold on one and they wiggle touch the minus button and it will deactivate them untill you use them again. Do you have the phone dim after so many seconds or minutes? Is the screen bright all time? Do you go on the Internet or watch video on phone?
These things can affect the hrs of use.

Apple DVI to ADC Adapter with new mini

Has anyone have any experience using the Apple $99 DVI to ADC Adapter
with a New ( or old ) Mac Mini... I have a 22 inch Apple Cinema and
I love it... especially the non-glare screen.
The only complaints I've heard were the ADC Adapter size was large and it gets hot.
Anything else???? Does the sleep feature work?
Thanks in advance, Tom

Tom,
I currently use Apple's $99.00 DVI to ADC adapter with pre 2009 Mac Mini and Apple 17" ADC Studio monitor.
This setup in use for approx. 2 years now and to date no problems observed.
The unit's dimensions are approx. 4" x 4" x 1.5".
In use from 9:00 am this morning, in use as I type, I place my hand on unit now. The unit is warm to the touch. I can leave my hand on unit for 15-20-30 minutes. Certainly not HOT.
I have had sleep/wake problems with both mini and monitor in the past. I cant say that these issues are related to or caused by the dvi/adc adapter. I have no current sleep/wake problems.
UPS/System preference settings can also affect sleep/wake options.
Sleep feature works as the unit is also connected via usb to the machine.
Regards,
TrevorB

Apple Display doesn't shut off with new Mini

I have a brand new 2009 Mini hooked up to my 23" Apple Cinema HD display.
When I shut down the Mini, the power on the display does not power down.
I used to have this same display hooked up with the same mini DVI to DVI connector hooked up to my late 2006 MacBook. The display used to shut down when I shut down the MacBook.
There is absolutely nothing different in my setup between the MacBook and the new Mini as far as connections and cables as I'm using the same cables.
Is anyones display powering off with their new Mini?
I wouldn't think that the mini DVI out would be any different on the MacBook as compared to the new Mini. But apparently there is unless I'm missing something.
I don't really want to live with this as all of my computers shut down automatically at night using the Energy Saver control panel. With the new Mini, the display remains on all night.
Maybe I should have bought a new MacBook Pro 13 to replace my older White MacBook 13.
Ideas? Suggestions?

I would hate to say that this might be an upgrade issue with recent updates.. I 'used' to be able to power off the monitor (touch the switch on the side and the light goes off) but no longer able to.
And to confuse the issue, the 23" ACD power switch is now acting like the Mac Pro's power switch.. While the Mac Pro is running a lengthy process, I'll often turn off the monitor if I am away for a few hours but now, when I touch the ACD power button, the Mac Pro responds with a "shut down, sleep or log off" kind of query.. Well that is certainly new to me..
Does this happen to yours as well?

HELP: Can't connect to the internet with new mini

Hi
I've just unpacked the new mini I bought today. I use a LAN that I set up myself. I use a Linksys Router 11Mb/s. All computers atached to it work fine, including an iBook G4 with Airport Extreme.
The Mini does recognize my network via Airport, and the Airport card MAC adress is already in the authorize list, but still does not connect.
Worse, I plug an Etherner Cable to the plug that works with a PC, but still no internet. I set up a manual IP adress instead of DHCP. Still no internet. I reinstalled the entire OS X, from start, still no internet.
Any ideas, anyone ? Thanks !
pd: This is frustrating, I just brought it from the store today

Try turning your router/modem off. Now connect the ethernet cable to the mini and the router and restart the router/modem. If it works, update the system.
When connecting airport, make sure you turn off the router/modem, and then take out the ethernet cable and then restart the router/modem and then power up your mac mini and set up airport.
If the above does not work, RESET the modem/router to its default settings. Once trained, use a ethernet connected Mac to set it up (the Mini perhaps).
I am suggesting this because I had to turn off my router to connect one of my Macs before I could surf the net. i also find resetting the router can sometimes iron out connection issues.

Strange USB Current Limit/Port Shutoffs With New Mini

I just upgraded to a new Mini and put 2gig of RAM in it. Everything is great except.....I'm getting these bizarre "USB Over Current Notice" popups when trying to put a sixth plug into the USB tree. I've been through my equipment, it's not bad hardware(at least not a USB peripheral). I've tried eliminating one device after another, but I only seem to get the warning when plugging in a sixth plug(even just an iPod Shuffle dock). So it's as if my new Mini won't accept a sixth USB device. I would appreciate any help that folks have to offer.

Plugged directly into the Mini are an iPod cable, a Miglia TVMax, and the cord for the powered USB Hub. Plugged into the hub(which is new and bought in response to the main issue here) is my keyboard(happy hacking lite 2), a logitech marbleman trackball and a creative xmod.
I ran my mini only briefly before the RAM upgrade, and I had no issues at that time. Can RAM cause this kind of an issue with USB?

2nd gen, not syncing contacts with new mini

I have just moved from a G5 to a Mac mini, iTunes moved fine, when I notice my contact were not updating I told my 2nd gen iTouch to sync with the mini. Now my contact on the iTouch are empty, I can ad new with the iTouch the show on my mini.

What does this mean: " I can ad new with the iTouch the show on my mini."
What I suspect is that when you synced the iPod to the new computer iTunes erased the iPod and replaced its contents with what was in the library of the new computer.

Permissions trouble with new MacBook Pro

I had previously upgraded my MacBook Pro (original unibody model) to Mountain Lion with no apparent issues. I have two Users, both with Admin status and everything appeared to function as before.
I just traded in my old MacBook Pro for a new current model Retina MacBook Pro, using Migration Assistant upon first startup to move everything over from the older machine. Most everything has been seamless - except for Permissions.
I started seeing messages appear indicating I didn't have permission to open files, run apps, delete files, etc. Looking at Get Info, I found Sharing & Permissions was only set up for (if I recall correctly) Admin, Administrator and something called Wheel. I solved the permissions issue while logged in as the primary User by adding both Users to the Sharing & Permissions section of the Info screen for the entire hard drive, giving them Read & Write access, and selecting Apply to enclosed items... That seems to have solved the issue for the primary User.
But then I tried working logged in as the secondary User. I started getting messages indicating I could not save a file I had just modified because I did not have permission, and that I should contact the Administrator. Well, that's me. So I tried the same thing that I did logged in as the primary User, but there was no change. I still can't save a modified file logged in as the secondary Admin User.
I haven't found anything that addresses this - except to learn where the Wheel User originated. Can someone point me in the right direction to where I can learn how to gain full, unlimited access to my own computer - under bothe User accounts?
Thank you.

You corrupted the permissions of every file on the volume. Restore everything from the backup you made before doing that. Then do as follows.
Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line on this page to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

No 10.8 disc set with new Mini?

So I understood from the guy at the Apple store when I bought my Mini that there is a partition on my drive where the OS is stored. It didn't dawn on my until I remembered the reason why I bought this new mini.....what happens if my hard disc fails and I need a new one. My last Mini had no retrievable data, not a problem since I do daily back ups. But in the event my drive ever goes down on this how do I go about installing 10.8 on the new drive?
I have an external DVD burner/drive I on tap for any disc issues so would have that, but I don't understand how Apple assumes the owner will get the OS on their system in the event of a drive failure. Thanks.

All new Macs support an Internet Recovery mode where the contents of the Recovery HD partition are downloaded from the Internet. You can get to this mode by rebooting and holding Command-R if the Recovery HD is not available (ie, with a new HD in place), or you can force it into this mode by holding Option-Command-R at boot.
You can also use Apple's Recovery Disk Assistant to create a standalone USB drive containing the Recovery tools: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1433

Trouble with new ipad mini

For some reason I cannot connect my ipad mini to itunes it keeps telling me I need software updates but when I run my software updates I'm up to date with all of them...
currently my software for itunes is 10.6.3 and
Mac OS X version 10.5.8 / Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
not sure what else to do at this point. Any help will be greatly appreciated..
Thank you.

The iPhone 5, iPad Mini and iPad with Retina all require the following for iTunes
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.7 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) was the last version of OS X that requires a Disc. All further updates can be downloaded from the Mac App Store (which became available with Snow Leopard).
If you live near an Apple Retail Store, you may be able to purchase one from them.
Not trying to steal Niel's thunder, just trying to give an explanation of why.
Best of luck.

Downloading songs troubles with new nano

Hello. I recently revieved a new pink ipod nano for the holidays. I am having some trouble downloading songs onto it.
I curently have one ipod mini and one itunes account.
I have followed the little instruction thing that came with the new ipod nano but i have no luck.
[when it told me to turn off the computer it did and it turned back on and nothing really happened after that]
I would just like the songs to transfer to the new ipod nano. everytime i plug it into my computer it just is charging the battery and is not downloading any of the songs from the existing itunes account. do i need to make a brand new itunes account?
i would really not like to make a new itunes account on my other computer due to the ammount of space taken up by it.
i think i am doing it right but having the already existing itunes account has made it difficult? i really don't know and am confused..
if anybody could help me with this i would really appreciate it!!! i would like to have this problem resolved within the next day or two seeing i am going on a trip.
not sure none

A few questions for you.
Is this music purchased from the iTunes store you're having difficulty with, or all music?
How do you normally transfer music? Any error messages?
