Unwanted iOS notifications on a Mac Mini

My dad took my spare Mac Mini with him when he moved out of state. I recently found out that he has been getting notifications on the Mini every time someone messages me on my iPhone. I'm assuming this has something to do with my having set up the Mini initially as my computer, with my iTunes account linked and so forth.
I need to know how to talk him through disabling these notifications. Can anyone help?

I would go to Messages>Preferences>the account and the either:
- Sign out of the existing ID and sing him into his own ID,
or
- Uncheck your Phone number and email address and add an email address for his use.
Similar to above for FaceTime if that is being used.
You also might want to sing him out of your iCloud account if signed in (System Preferences>iCloud)

  • Download iOS 8 once to Mac Mini Server and upgrade all iOS devices in the network

    Is it possible to download iOS8 only once to the Mac Mini Server and use it to upgrade all eligible iOS devices (iPhones and iPads) in the same LAN? 
    I tried the following methods and they are just not working:
    1. Connect an iPads Mini with Retina Display to the iTunes on Mac.  I chose Download Only. Once downloaded the iPad Software Upgrade, I upgraded the connected iPad to iOS8.  Then I connect another iPad (used to be on another Mac) to the same iTunes.  I had to download iOS 8 again.  It's not using the same downloaded iOS 8 file. (I did the same thing for an iPhone.  Same result.)
    2. I turned on the Caching Service (not Software Upgrade Service, i.e. for Mac Software) on the Mac Mini Server from the Server app.  I then repeat step 1 above and got the same result.  It seems that the Caching Service does not cache the iOS 8  Software Upgrade like what it does for other apps.  (I think I may need to use some Apple Scripts but I have no such experience.)

    Yes, it should work that way.  However, I was told by an Apple Support that there was a problem and thus Server 3.2.1 was unable to do so.
    I paid for Server 4 and it better provides the expected Caching Services for both iOS Software and Mac Software through the iOS and Mac App Stores.

  • Getting photos onto my iOS devices from my Mac mini with beta library turned on.

    I am using iOS 8.1.3 and have turned on Beta Library. I find that I can no longer get photos from my Mac onto my iPhone and iPad mini. In iPhoto, I've dragged them into Photostream on the Mac and they appear in Photostream there but not on my iOS devices. How can I get selected photos from iPhoto on the Mac to appear in Photos album on my iPhone and iPad mini?

    The iOS OS doesn't give you direct access to the file system on the device, so will thwart your ability to upload files from your device. You can't interact with those files directly.
    Perhaps there is an FTP app for iOS that would let you do this, but it might not meet apples terms of service for the App Store so would probably require a jail broken phone.
    Even though limited by these restrictions, VPN is still helpful for other things. You can access a mail server or private website that's behind a VPN firewall. You can control airport base stations behind a firewall.  VPN can also make 3rd party apps more useful in other ways too. For instance I can remotely control a retrospect backup server using their iOS app with VPN to punch thru the firewall.

  • My new mac mini doesn't have upper dock?

    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.

  • Mac Mini with dual monitors running independently?...

    Hello,
    I have 2 screens that I would like to make good use of.  Wondering if the mac mini....or any other singular mac solution would accomplish having both screens working simultaneously on different applications through a single mac mini?  Not mirroring screens.....but 1 of my daughters working on a "word" doc on her screen with her keyboard and mouse......and the other daughter surfing the web on her screen with her keyboard and mouse.  Also...if this setup is possible....is there a certain mini that I need to be running or a certain IOS?
    If not mac mini.....is there another solution/workaround that would allow for this setup?  Trying to utilize my 2 screens as best as possible with keeping my hardware to a minimum!!  Thanks for the feedback.

    No, there is no way to set it up with two different interface (keyboard & mouse) setups.
    Unfortunately, it sounds like your about to become a two or three computer family.

  • Why is my Internet connection hanging on both MacBook and Mac mini, but not PCs, Xbox, or iOS devices?

    I have a MacBook pro and Mac mini both running the latest version of lion.  I've had this issue with my MacBook for sometime now, but just dealt with it and figured it was isolated, but now I am finding its not.
    Essentially, I will open up safari, or Chrome, and the first few pages will load fine.  Sometimes I will get lucky and be able to browse normally, but after awhile, safari just hangs there and stops loading.  I can close the window, and open a few more pages before it does it again.  Both my mini and MacBook do this, but only on my home network.  My MacBook runs perfectly fine on my work wi if, and other wi fis, so I definitely know its my home modem.  If I wait it out I can surf the Internet again, but this dead time is absolutely killing me. It just randomly stalls, on both computers.
    I current have time Warner cable roadrunner, with a cable modem gateway.  The issue was happening on a straight connection.  I had hoped getting a time capsule and connecting to that network would solve things, but it didn't.  Interestingly enough, my Pcs, Xbox,and all 4 of my iPads and iPhones work just fine on the wifi, so there has to be a communication issues with the MacBook and mini with the cable router.
    I've tried messing with lions network DNS servers and tried opendns ones, but those didn't work.  Sometimes I can fix the problem for a few hours by power cycling the modem and router, but I shouldn't  have to do that over and over every time it's an issue.  I've also tried removing and adding the wi if connections, but that.works for a minute or two and then the problem resumes.
    Now, I have my time capsule connected to the gateway, and tuned the time Warner modem wireless off, which didn't help of course, but at least I'm properly backed up.
    I'm not sure what the issue is.  I've even tried typing an ip address of apple during a dead time to see if that worked and didn't.
    Does anyone have any other ideas?  I'm pretty much at my wits end in this, any ideas would be greatly appreciated

    Have you tried a simple reset of your iPod to see if that helps?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Otherwise, have you tried any of the troubleshooting mentioned in this Apple support document?

  • My contacts on my iPhone no longer synch to my mac mini since the update to iOS 5

    Ever since I started using iOS 5 on my iPhone 3GS my contacts have not been synching with my Mac Mini (10.6).  This means that i need to enter all my contacts that I add on my phone by hand to my Mac Mini which essentially duplicates entries on my iphone
    There has to be a way to resolve this

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Check your contacts aren't in another group other than iCloud, only iCloud contacts will sync.

  • I up graded my mac mini with a new hard drive and now need ios 10.9 how do i down load it so i can put it back on the mac

    how do i get the ios 10.9 so i can put it back on the new hard drive

    If the Mac mini shipped with 10.6.8 or earlier, install Mac OS X 10.6, update it to 10.6.8, open the Mac App Store, and download 10.9.
    If the Mac mini shipped with 10.7 or newer, connect it to the Internet, restart it with the Command and R keys held down, and install an OS. If this isn't 10.9, open the Mac App Store and download it from there.

  • Itunes delete my music in my iPhone 4 iOS 6.1 I'm new mac mini

    ahen connect a iphone 4 ios 6.1 to new mac mini all of my music vidoe was delete , after i sync to the new mac mini , how can i restor , i did a bucup.

    I'm having similar issues just lately. The phone itself is very slow to respond to the touch, just scrolling between home screens is a chore at times. There have been about 2 incidents of random vibration from it. Closing home screen folders takes a couple of attempts. I find that I'm also having delayed keyboard responses when typing messages to my contacts.
    Also, sometimes when I press the sleep/wake button it takes about 30 seconds to register it and actually lock or wake up.
    Have you experienced the backlight failing to light up? Like if I get a message it flashes up then goes black straight after and when you press the sleep/wake or home button it lights up again but very very dimly and you have to press the sleep/wake button as if locking it and then press it again to bring the screen up properly?
    Mine is also on 6.1.3(10B329), model MD245B/A, obviously not Jailbroken, carrier unlocked from Vodafone (but that was months and months ago). Roughly 17gb of storage space left.
    This has only started happening in the last 2 weeks. Haven't tried the reset or anything yet though.

  • IPad Mini Won't Sync With Mac Mini (ios 8.1 OSX 10.6.8)

    Problem : IPad Mini connects to iTunes OK, can be seen in iTunes and I can select which movies to sync to it etc.  When I hit the "apply" button after making a change (ie deleting or adding a movie) the sync lasts just a second then the "sync" button remains greyed out, and I can't make them sync.

  • My Mac Mini is running on iOS 10.6.8 can it be loaded with 7.0 or higher?

    My Mac Mini is running on iOS 10.6.8 can it be loaded with 7.0 or higher?

    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

  • Network connection timed out during iPhone4 update to ios 7.1.2 in iTunes on mac mini

    I've tried several times to update my iPhone 4 to the iOS 7.1.2 update using iTunes on my Mac mini.  Each time, after about an hour or two, I get the message that the network connection has timed out.  I don't have any security software installed, so that can't be the issue.  I have the most recent version of iTunes, so that can't be it either.  I can't update directly on my phone, because I don't have enough space left.  Any suggestions as to why the network is timing out??
    Thanks for anyone's help in advance.

    simple hold the power button and the home button for 15 seconds and release the home to the iphone to turn on.
    them try to connect to the computer in the itunes and when ask to update you choose to only download not update , when finish update the iphone .

  • Why won't my iTunes open after I updated my Mac Mini to iOS 8.1?

    I updated my software to iOS 8.1 and today I opened up my Mac mini, and tried to open iTunes, but it just kept closing out as soon as I tried to open it and I can't open it up... What can I do to fix this?

    Ok, your iOS update has no bearing on your iTunes crashing on your Mac Mini.
    Have you tired opening iTunes in a different user?
    Have you tried opening iTunes in safe mode?
    This does not fix anything just gives us more to go on to solve your problem.

  • The iOS simulator runs very slow on my new Mac mini.  Any ideas on how to speed it up?

    I am trying to demonstrate a new iPhone app using the Mac mini and the iOS Simulator software.  It runs, but it runs very slowly -- not acceptable for a presentation.  Any ideas so I can make it run faster?

  • IOS 8 for Mac mini

    i would like to try the iCloud drive but it's giving me and alert that my 2 Mac minis wont be able to open existing docs until I get iOS 8. How can I update Mac mini to ios8??

    iOS 8 is for iOS devices, not Macs. You need to wait until Yosemite is available and upgrade the Macs to it.
