  • Continuity not Working on mid-2011 Mac Mini

    Hello.
    I can't turn on continuity on my Mac Mini however it should be capable to use this feature.
    If I go to System Preferences and then General menu, I can't see such checkbox. See the attached screenshot.
    Can someone advise what is the problem?
    Thank you in advance,
    Blake

    That model Mini  is not listed as being compatible
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
    A partial workaround is discussed here:

  • What 32inch plus tv to buy in the UK to use with new intel Mac mini

    As the title - What 32inch plus tv to buy in the UK to use with 1.83 intel Mac mini. It does not have to have freeview as I will be using tubestick. I do want to use the hdmi connection. Who's got a great setup, with no issues - model numbers appreciated £1200 ish budget

    So everything is working normal except for screen saver? Hmm. That's odd. Perhaps your settings are such that shortly after the screen saver kicks in the mini is also set to go to sleep. That would cause the screen to lose sync and give the "no signal" message. Check your Energy Saver against the Screen Saver settings and adjust the sleep interval if need be.
    FYI, running a screen saver on an LCD TV is not a good idea long term. An LCD uses a lamp as a backlight, and the lamp has a finite lifetime. Consuming it's limited hours of life by running a screen saver all the time (like overnight, everynight) will shorten considerably the service life of your TV.

  • HT1918 i have just made my apple id.i have made this for itunes.after making my account i have problen with the review payment information as i do not use any credit cards and there is no option like NONE in review payment information. what should i do no

    i have just made my apple id. i have made this for itunes. after making my account i have problem with the review payment information as i do not use any credit cards and there is no option like NONE in review payment information. what should i do now? to proceed further? plz help me!

    How did you create the account ? If you followed the instructions on this page when creating it then you should have got the 'none' option : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    e.g. on a computer's iTunes, if currently signed into an account then you logged out of it, and you then found a free app in the store and clicked on its free 'price' :
    And then clicked on 'create Apple id' on the popup :
    When I tried that process to create an account a few days ago I got the 'none' option on the payment details screen.
    If you didn't use that process then you will need to create a new account using it (the instructions won't work with an existing account).

  • Top memory bank is not working on 2011 mac mini. Checked the ram stick which is working fine.

    Hi all
    Been using my 2011 Mac Mini since October 2011 with no issues at all. upgraded the Ram (2 x 8 =16gb crucial ddr3 1333 sodimm 204) which worked flaulessly  since early 2012.
    last week while workign on some ram intensive stuff my mac froze and made some funky sounds (kinda like C3PO beat boxing) and then would not reboot and beeped at me 3 times. I looked that beep up and it indicated a ram issue. I took out the first stick (closest to the twisty lid) and the mac boots indicating an issue with the bank i guess not the ram.
    What i want to know is if this is possible to fix or if i should just limp on with 8gb ram.
    Thanks
    Harry

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you have checked with both RAM modules that your Mac doesn't start up when a module is inserted in the first slot, this slot is damaged.
    To replace the slot, the logic board has to be replaced, so it's an expensive repair. If you can live with 8 GB of memory, install only one memory module

    DO A BACKUP FIRST
    Use your recovery partition so you can reset everything.(power up up holding the COMMAND R keys and restore OS X You can do a restoration and start from square one.
    Your profile does not disclose the version of OSX but from the forum you posted in I assume your are running 10.7 Lion, which is wnat a Mac uses.You have listed in your profile iOS and a iPhone, iOS is used for iPhones, iPads, iPods...mobile devices, and is quite different from OSX which is used by Mac computers.
    As well as the year and model ID of your mac. (You can find this info by clicking on the Apple logo in the menu bar>About this Mac>more info/system profile (depending on which OSX you are using) then posting it, so that we can eliminate the "guessing" of of how to possibly provide help/advice/suggestions to you
    Without this info it is difficult to help someone reading this post to offer advice/suggestions.

    @I run a Windows 8.1 -  Photoshop CS5 under Parallels on an iMac one year old and both having the latest OS. I use a NIK plugin "VIVEZA" which run fine for years without a problem. Latelt and without a reason, the NIK plugin has gone corrupt, (can not use it more the 2 corrections after a get a black background message that there is not enough memory) and the system stops running and a must restart is required. How do I fix this terrible problem?
    If it requires a Photoshop CS5 re-install, (I belief that it may fix the problem) and re-install the two third party plugins (NIK Viveza) and (Onone Perfect Resize) how and where do I get to the proper Adobe upload page to do that.
    I have tried to fix this problem by changing the memory allocations, I have spend many hours on it and are very disgusted with it but it needs to be fixed. The current memory settings are;
    Ram available = 1588 MB
    Range = 873 -1143 MB
    Recommended Photoshop usage range =  857  however I have tried every setting to max and in between. Nothing works. Current setting = 1588 (max)
    The Photoshop I use is registered, I have product # and order # .

    Contact NIK for updated/upgraded versions of their plug-ins.  They have been having a lot of issues with their plug-ins.

    Hello oldsurfer250,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning iTunes for Windows issues:

    -fix up the packaging targets to ensure they are being properly built.  I removed depends="temp-clean" and inserted antcall target="temp-clean" because a target gets executed only once, even when more than one target depends on it.

  • I just downloaded Firefox 5 and it said that my Yahoo toolbar will not work with it. Is this true? If so I will not use this new version and will switch to another browser if Firefox stops supporting the Yahoo toolbar. Thank you.

    I just downloaded Firefox 5 and it said that my Yahoo toolbar will not work with it. Is this true? If so I will not use this new version and will switch to another browser if Firefox stops supporting the Yahoo toolbar. Thank you.

    Add-ons contain a range of compatible Firefox versions, and Firefox honors the listed range by disabling the add-on if you are trying to run it on an unlisted version.
    I'm sure Yahoo! will update its toolbar eventually, but not every add-on maker supports beta versions of software.

    Hello,
    see >>> http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html  here >>> How many computers can I install on
    I quote: You may install software on up to two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or one each.
    If you install on a third computer, it will request you to de-activate on the other two computers. You can then reactivate one of the previous two computers, and use Creative Cloud apps on it.
    Good luck!

  • I want to downgrade my 2011 mac mini server to mac os x, i want to downgrade my 2011 mac mini server to mac os x i have the disks but the mini willl not reboot the apple changing to a circle with a line please help-

    i want to downgrade my 2011 mac mini server to mac os x i have the disks but the mini willl not reboot the apple changing to a circle with a line please help-

    bpruse,  I may be completely off-track for your issue, but I had a similar situation where I wanted to downgrade a Mac Pro from Server to plain OS X and it would not boot from the OS X install disk.
    I was attempting to use a full-install OS X.6.x disc with an earlier SL version than that which originally came installed on the Mac Pro.  After two or three hours of fiddling, I figured it out and used the discs that came with the system.
    However, I don't know how that would work in your case if this is the mini server-version.  I'm sure the disks would only have Server on them.  Worse-case scenario, find out which X.6.x the OEM disc is installing and get an OS X disc with a new installer.
    HTH.
